I'm very particular about my bbq, but everything I tried just made me want to melt in happiness. The sweet and sour Thai ribs were especially amazing. The meat had this char on it that gave the meat crunch without tasting burnt, the pickles had a kick I'll be dreaming about for months... And the bartender pulled some guava puree out of his hat from somewhere which made my margarita perfection. A++ experience. read more

Out of town visiting for a few weeks. Ive tried some of the best BBQ around. KC, Memphis, Texas, NC, Alabama etc. i wanted something different. Read about the Guava Glazed Ribs and Gochugang Smoke wings here at Blood Bros. Walked in and was greeted by Eric! Sat at the bar to order take out. Eric recommended a few items from the menu. I ordered Bahn Mi w smoked pork belly and smoked egg rolls w curry sauce and did not get wings or ribs. I was not disappointed w the Bahn Mi. Chewy crispie french roll with fresh veggies and smoked gochugang pork belly. Delicious!!!!! The eggs rolls were just ok. I wouldnt order them again. Next time the Kimchi egg rolls will be on my order along w Guava glazed ribs and gochugang smoked wings!! The ambiance is what you might expect at a BBQ place. Wood rustic-ish interior. Friendly staff and very good unique Asian fusion bbq. I always try to patronize local run businesses over the big box chains. If you want some different BBQ w an Asian flare, give Blood Bros a try. read more

So, i'm very unsure on how to feel about this place, my long distance boyfriend came down from alabama and he was very excited to try this place and i was as well, it was the thing we talked about the most for our trip. for starters the staff seemed like they actually hated their lives, and were just kinda not very excited ig, idk im not from the houston area either so it might be just how people are. the food on the other hand bao buns- amazing and honestly such a great concept! mac and cheese- also amazing, i'm not a huge fan of mac and cheese but i crave it to this day. brisket- I'm sorry but it was dry, when they cut it, it looked like it had a lot of juice but when we took a bite out of it, it was kind of tough and dry, it also wasn't very tasty it was pretty bland, i was kind of disappointed because its the most expensive thing on the menu burnt ends- they were okay, pork belly personally is my favorite and i didn't even finish these only ate like 2. sausages - FUCKING GREAT!!! collared greens- pretty basic their horchata was amazing tho, there was some black stuff in our drink tho and it kinda ruined the experience. I would love to go back and try new things and hopefully the experience will be different. read more

My first time coming to Blood Bros BBQ and I really enjoyed my experience. Its not your traditional Texas BBQ but if you enjoy vietnamese flavors, im sure youll enjoy it I got there around 12pm and the wait wasnt too long. I ordered the brisket bahn mi, brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and their guava pork ribs. All the bbq was really smokey and seasoned well, but I did feel like the brisket was drier than what im used to. My favorites were still the brisket and guava pork ribs tho. I also got their mac n cheese and potato salad sides. Both were amazing and I would come back for them again The place itself is spacious and clean. They also have a small bar so its a great spot to hang with friends read more

We stopped by Blood Bros on a Saturday night, initially not realizing they don't offer BBQ by the pound, but the dinner menu more than made up for it. The charsiu pork belly buns were easily the standout--between the crispy fried bread, juicy charsiu pork belly, and tangy pickled vegetables, they delivered some of the best Asian-fusion BBQ flavors I've had. The brisket gailan chow fun was solid, though the smoked pastrami egg rolls were a bit underwhelming by comparison. Seating didn't take too long, even on a busy night, and the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth the visit. read more

Blood Brothers is the kind of place that reminds you why food can be an experience, not just a meal. Unpretentious, welcoming, and exceptionally delicious, this BBQ Asian fusion spot delivers Michelin-quality food without a shred of fuss. You're eating off paper boats with plastic silverware, and yet every bite feels like something truly special. Everything that comes out feels like a work of the heart--thoughtful, bold, and incredibly well-executed. The flavors are creative, perfectly balanced, and deeply satisfying in that "we're still thinking about this meal days later" kind of way. The service made the experience even better. Our server was so friendly and genuinely helpful, walking us through the menu and giving us so many great things to think about when ordering. Her guidance made the whole meal feel like a curated adventure rather than just picking dishes at random. Blood Brothers proves that great food doesn't need white tablecloths. You just need passion, skill, and heart. This place is a must-visit. read more

The gochujang pork ribs were delicious, and so was the brisket fried rice. The restaurant stands out from other BBQ joints in the city by having Asian influences on TX-style BBQ which results in unique flavor combinations. The char siu pork belly burnt ends was delicious also despite being a little overcooked. Overall, I might give this another try whenever I'm back in Houston. read more

Came here on a Friday night and was seated right away. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, which made for a nice start to the meal. We ordered the smoked brisket & gai lan chow fun, wings (with sauce on the side), the smoked pho-rub beef belly banh mi, and the sleaze ball. Portions were moderate -- not huge, but fair for the price. The food overall was just okay. My favorite was definitely the smoked brisket & gai lan chow fun -- really tasty and well-balanced. The wings were decent, though the skin was really dry and tough, even though the meat inside stayed juicy. The smoked pho-rub beef belly banh mi was a bit too fatty for my liking, and the sleaze ball, which I was most excited to try, ended up being pretty flavorless. The plaza has a parking lot, but the lines are faded and narrow, and people seem to park however they want -- so be prepared for that. Overall, I'd come back to try their BBQ meats by the pound, but I'd probably skip the rest of the dishes next time. read more

Another MICHELIN-Guide Texas BBQ joint had us smacking our lips and licking our fingers. We were excited to dive into their bold Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean-infused flavors. Blood Bros BBQ definitely brings Asian soul to their cooking -- the gochujang-glazed ribs were outstanding, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage might be the best I've had anywhere. The service was friendly and efficient, even with a steady crowd rolling through. The vibe of the place feels casual, lively, and filled with the smoky aroma of serious BBQ. I'll definitely be back.

Blood Brothers BBQ is just as good as I remember it being when I tried it almost a year ago. Inside was dim lighting and a shelf full of merch. The consistency in flavor and service will keep me coming back as a loyal customer. This time around I ordered almost the exact same thing I ordered last time: brussels sprouts (that had had zesty lime taste) and Pig Moe pulled pork sandwich with blueberry habanero jam. The bread was toasted perfectly and, to my surprise, I was able to try their ribs that I guess was left over at the end of the night. They were so tender, juicy, and meaty! Blood Bros. have easily made it to the #1 spot for my go-to barbecue in the city, and I love their rotating happy hour ("happy nhau-er") menu items. I must say... the gendered bathrooms sharing the same entryway was a bit disconcerting. read more

Great for lunch! I got the brisket sandwich, watermelon salad, and brisket fried rice. Mixing the salad and the rice together was delicious. But BEWARE if you have nut allergies! Tell the folks at the front you have a peanut allergy so they can use a different board to cut the meat. -1 star because there should definitely be a warning sign about the nut contamination read more

They mix the Asian + Texan to a heft of satisfaction! It's always an experience being here. It's down-to-earth with flair. How did I get a perfect lunch, then dinner?! Thank You, Rich! And I thank the kitchen crew and your colleagues. On BB BBQ's VDay special, they even get things right. I ordered my meat rare. It was so decadent. I ended up eating it 5x. I didn't plan to when I ordered it. The decadence was that satisfying. My plans for 2026 VDay have been brewing. read more

Came here for the first time with my co workers on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty well known spot. A unique BBQ location in a strip center. Which means lots of parking since it's a shared lot, which was is always great. There were customers, but it was not crowded like some bbq spots. Service - was pretty fast, we were able to order right away, and wait for the food at the table. No wait time to order, so I appreciated that. Food- we ordered family style. We decided on: shells and cheese (pretty solid) brisket rice (tasty and has a kick) ribs (were good) brisket nachos (the cheese is very thin would be better if it was thicker like queso or shredded cheese..seems like they use the shells and cheese sauce for this as maybe cost savings, plus the portion of toppings to chips werent even to me, likely wouldn't do this again) pork belly burnt ends (was too grizzly almost no edible meat to me, the sauce was good) chicken cesar salad (the chicken in this was a bit dry) The meal had some hits and misses. But overall I appreciate enjoying some BBQ, as I understand and respect the time and effort that goes in to making TX BBQ. read more

I had no clue what to expect when I first ordered from here, other than this place was rated one of the best BBQ joints in Houston, so I knew that I had to come by and try it sooner or later. From reviewing the menu, I could tell that they had some level of Asian / Texan fusion going on, so I was curious about how to order items that would let me both test their classic BBQ identity and the fusion flavors. Thankfully, for my first visit, we ordered in advance, so everything was ready to go at pick up time. That made things very handy, because it seemed like it was barely after noon and they were already starting to run out of some items. Well, for a top notch BBQ joint, that's going to happen. The interior has a mostly traditional BBQ joint vibe to it when you walk in. There's some exterior seating, but there's zero chance you'll ever catch me eating outside unless it's an absolutely perfect day. The inside has the typical wooden furniture you'd expect. On my first visit, I got some sliced brisket on a sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. Neither were pushing the "best I've ever had," but they were both solid and deserving of the reputation that Blood Bros has developed among other Houston BBQ legends. On my next visit, I tried the pork belly with some brisket fried rice. Now these two items really impressed me. I rarely take the approach that I'm a top cook, but I've yet to have a pork belly that rivaled what I make at home, until now. The brisket fried rice was a perfect level of fusion which gave you some excellent smokiness and protein with just enough of a twist on classic fried rice to feel unique. read more

Saw this place on a Houston vlog. We immediately knew we had to give it a try. It's a barbecue place with an asian twist. It is order at the counter type of place. We ordered the Thai Chili Boudin Eggrolls and the Pho-Strami. The Boudin Eggrolls were good. Pretty standard for boudin eggrolls. It had a little kick to it if you get a bite with the thai chilis. The Pho-Stramu was flavorful. It had beansprouts and delicious meat in it. Great order. We would have gotten more but we were saving our stomachs for other places. Would definitely come back! read more

Why only 2 stars? Because a 5 star rating is a layup for this place. 2 stars is a choice. We started coming here in 2018 when they opened. Was bringing neighbors and family when they visited from out of town. I considered them the Houston kings of craft bbq. One of the jewels in the crown was the peach habanero pork belly burnt ends. Amazing! What I got today was embarrassing. Before they were juicy nuggets that dreams are made of. Now...Fried, dried up, some sauce dripped on it? Just plain terrible. I was more disappointed in the product than realizing that I was short 1 order. The other items were still good. Sides, great! Thai green curry egg rolls, great! Brisket & gai lan chow fun, yummy. Come on "Bros", you're capable of so much better. read more

Was looking for a good BBQ place while visiting. We chose this location based on the reviews. I chose to get the Brisket and gochujang glazed pork ribs. The brisket was great and fell apart as I ate it. The gochujang glazed pork ribs had a small kick of heat but it was not overpowering. For sides I chose the collard greens and smoked gouda mac and cheese, the mac n cheese was a little less firm than I prefer but both were equally good! A friend had the lemon pepper smoked wings, sweet and sour fried ribs and feels they could have used a little more lemon pepper seasoning but the fried ribs he loved and both overall were tasty. If ever back in Houston we will come back! read more

I have been to blood bros three times now and each time have tried something slightly different. Everything I've had has been very tasty and they have a great mix of Asian fusion. They have different varieties of pork ribs for different days. The guava glazed pork ribs were super yummy, not overly sweet. The gochujang was very similar to the burnt ends glaze. Both are worth the try. I will say I'm not overly impressed with the other meats. They're not bad but they are not great either. Some of their barbecue sauces they give on the side are just a little too sweet or a little too vinegary for my liking. So far I've like all of the appetizers. The highlight being the burnt ends. The mango haberno is a must. Out of the sandwich's the bahn mi is my favorite so far. The sleaze balls are super tasty. I would skip the bao buns. They are a cool concept but the flavor just wasn't what I was looking for. I would recommend coming earlier if you want the specialty meats. They usually sell out early. You order at the counter and get a number. It's a seat yourself. The food typically comes out pretty fast. Overall I would recommend blood bros definitely a delicious twist on Texas bbq . read more

Haven't been back here in a while and decided to take my brother and is wife here while they were visiting. Surprisingly there was no line at all on a Sunday. The only meat that everyone liked was the brisket. The sausage was really dry and the ribs was too salty. The worker was not very friendly either and I found him to be a bit rude. We probably would not return again. read more

Had to try this place now that it's on the Michelin guide! A line was formed a little bit before 11 am opening time but it wasn't that long. Could probably get a table easily if you come around 11-12. The menu availability changes a little based on the day of the week. When you walk up to the counter, you first order sides and kitchen specialty items, then order meat which gets sliced immediately. The pork belly burnt ends were probably my favorite- we got the gochujang flavor and it was a nice fusion of flavors! More reminiscent of Asian style pork belly than classic BBQ. It was tender and flavorful. Brisket was just ok- very fatty in the middle portion, end pieces were more dry. The fatty pieces were almost too greasy, I had to mix it in with the rice. I actually preferred the brisket fried rice because the richness got absorbed a bit by the rice and the pepperiness of the brisket gets toned down. I do like the SWAT sauce that the brisket comes with. Guava glazed pork ribs were actually delish, the glaze is nice and sweet and meat is pretty tender. Would be interested in the other rib flavors on different days. Pho rub beef belly banh mi was nice, the meat was smoky and the banh mi toppings made for a nice flavor combo. Overall, the prices are a bit high ($22-24 per lb for the meats) but seem on par with other well known BBQ spots in the city. I was sad that they were out of the sleaze balls. Would be more interested to try the less traditional menu items. Glad that there's a parking lot! read more

We dropped by on Saturday around noon, eager to check out this Asian-BBQ fusion joint that's featured in Houston's Michelin Guide. There were still plenty of seats available then. However, the line did start to build up by the time we left at around 1 pm. The interior is modern and clean, with indoor and some outdoor seating. The signature brisket was ok but not among the best we had - it was a touch too dry. We actually preferred the version from Brisket & Rice (4/5) The brisket came with their proprietary SWAT sauce and 34 sauce. The SWAT sauce has a spicy kick to it. The 34 sauce was milder but tasted more flavorful. We also tried the Gochujang Glazed Pork Ribs. This was certainly more interesting, and I think we preferred this over the brisket. (5/5) The chow fun with brisket was good, but it was quite oily, and portions were small. (4/5) The fried bao buns were also another interesting item. The fried bao buns were tasty, but they're pretty small. (4/5) You could also ask for slices of bread, which is complimentary. There are plenty of other interesting items on the menu that we didn't get to try yet, such as the brisket fried rice, sleaze balls, and the pork belly burnt ends. Maybe next time! read more

Recommended by a local and rightfully so! Blood Bros. BBQ is a must-visit for barbecue lovers. Loved the fusion and uniqueness of the food. The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender, and full of flavor, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage was a spicy, savory highlight. The sides, mac & cheese and potato salad, were just as good. Friendly staff, casual vibe, and authentic Texas BBQ -- highly recommend stopping by for a satisfying meal. read more

Yes, I'm "late to the party," but what else is new...Sunday afternoon, just before noon was perfect: no line, not alot of people, great customer service, & lots of options. Sure, the name is belly fat Bahn mi, but it was a bit too much fat with great flavor. The pastrami sandwich was great at home, and I used half of the pastrami to make a spring roll at home, and the flavor was WOOOOAAAA. Brisket fried rice was ok, but I forgot the Brussels sprouts, so I guess I gotta go back... Cocktails were great & overall atmosphere is good: lots of space, smoky vibes, friendly, & indoor/outdoor option. read more

I can't get back to Blood Brothers fast enough! I don't know what took me so long to try it out! It's been on my list for years. (But, Houston has so many fabulous places to eat!) We had brisket (delish), brisket fried rice (nice and smoky - could use a smidge more seasoning, but that'snot a deal breaker), jalapeño creamed corn (yummy, creamy - not spicy), collard greens (so good), chopped brisket sandwich (amazing) and fried gochujang kimchi egg rolls (really good). read more

Came here after seen an Eater episode and knew I had to check them out. I was not disappointed. Very delicious and creative bbq! The Gochujang Ribs are excellent, with a sweetness and savory back note that only come with this unique take on ribs. Love the sprinkling of sesame seeds for added texture. The sausage had great snap and flavor. But I was really impressed by the creamed corn. So delicious with the sweetness and pop of the corn kernels. Well done job and will definitely come back for more in the future! Be sure to get here early because it's not a super big spot and it gets packed really quick! Definitely the bbq ambiance you are looking for :) read more

My husband and I went for dinner last night and it was very disappointing. We were seated right away but never received menus or any attention from our server. The only waitress we saw--who turned out to be ours--focused entirely on another table, even sitting down to chat with them, while completely ignoring us. After ten minutes, she finally brought water but still didn't greet us or attempt to take our order. Another ten minutes passed with no acknowledgment, so we ended up leaving our table and moving to the bar. We ordered brisket nachos - no brisket nachos We ordered mac & cheese - no mac and cheese We ordered brisket - no brisket We ordered berry cobbler - no cobbler We ordered turkey - no turkey We ordered a wild child - no wild child We did get... fried ribs - pretty good brussel sprouts - good but salty banana pudding - tasted old, not good at all Lastly, not only did they not have a lot of items, but they offered no suggestions or replacements. For example: We're out of brisket but we can so pulled pork nachos. OR...Unfortunately we're out of cobbler but we do have carrot cake, etc read more

It's been a hot minute since I've been able to come back here cause of how fast they sell out! But luckily I was one of the first few customers to come in and enjoy some of that beef rib. Fall off the bone tender fatty and delicious. What I like is the customer service. They will ask you what cuts and which cuts and if you want a new piece. We asked for the middle cut beef rib and fatty brisket and it was sliced to perfection. Melt on your mouth brisket. Mac and cheese. Collars geeens and cream corn for the sides amazing. Sadly prices have gone up since they were mentioned on Michelin but it is what it is. read more

The meats are smoked to perfection--tender, juicy, and packed with deep, rich flavor that hits every time.

I went in the evening when they have a special, limited menu so I didn't have the BBQ items they're most famous for. I started with the sleaze balls - panko-fried mac n cheese balls the size of my fist, atop shredded brisket and queso. Not super flavorful, but I appreciated tasting the queso and brisket. I also got the pork belly burnt ends and they were smokey, chewy, perfectly charred, and enough for three meals. I would love to try the brisket fried rice and the pho-spice rubbed sandwich that is special to their evening menu the next time I go. Also, the service was friendly and helpful. I waited a bit to get a menu, but I wasn't in a hurry and it was a pleasant day to sit outside, especially because their outdoor area is completely covered so it felt comfortable. The server was attentive and everyone who worked there seemed happy to be there, which is always a plus when dining out. read more

I've been hearing about this place for so long, and finally got to try it out! I love the area that it's in because it's easily accessible with plenty of parking in the lot. Something that I didn't know or realize is that the menu is not always the same! We came on a Sunday. We tried: 1/2 lb brisket 1/2 lb pork ribs 1 jalapeno & cheddar sausage (housemade) brisket fried rice roasted cream corn This was definitely way too much food for just 2 people lol, but it made for great leftovers for the next day. It was so delicious. We got there right at opening time, and the line wasn't very long at all. It went by fast and service was quick. Everything was really fresh and good. I will say that this bbq is spicier than what I'm used to when I eat bbq, so just a heads up. But I do like that it's an Asian-fusion bbq place, which makes it very unique. I definitely want to come back and try other menu items! read more

Blood Bros BBQ offers a unique and spicy twist on the traditional barbecue experience, blending classic smoked meats with a heavy Asian flare. It's a place that boldly carves its own path, and I'm not going to compare it to a traditional Texas BBQ joint because it's playing a different game entirely. If you're looking for something different and spicy, this is your spot. The pork belly burnt ends were a great example of their unique style. They tasted like they were fried and then generously coated in a peach habanero sauce. It was a very different take, but they were delicious and packed a serious spicy punch. The sweet and sour ribs followed a similar theme. These were fried ribs with a spicy, sweet and sour coating that was both tangy and fiery. For sides, the brisket fried rice was exactly as advertised--fried rice loaded with shredded brisket and a noticeable spicy kick. This was a nice break from the traditional brisket, sausage, and ribs combo. The flavors are unique, the heat is real, and the fusion concept is well-executed. If you're an adventurous eater looking to shake up your barbecue routine, you should definitely give this place a try. read more
