    Was walking around Houston Chinatown and randomly stumbled upon this spot. Heard theyre known for their Nem Nuong (Vietnamese grilled pork sausage) with sauce, so I grabbed it as a quick snack The spring rolls themselves are just okay, but the dipping sauce was the highlight. Super flavorful, slightly sweet, and works really well with crunchy spring rolls Also FYI, this is not the same as Brodard in SoCal. It has the same name but thats about it. Maybe not a must-visit, but definitely solid for a quick bite

    nem nuong

    A friend wanted to try banh khot and said she saw this place was recommended a few times so we decided to give it a shot. It wasn't busy when we went for monday lunch so the servers were attentive towards us! Banh khot - overall i enjoyed them! they were crispy on the bottom and the shrimp was decent in taste and size. tons of vegetables to wrap them in. one thing i didn't fully enjoy was the nuoc mam that came with it. i don't kno what it was but it just felt lacking compared to others i've had. 7.4/10 Nem Nuong - since this place was called bodard like brodard i said we should try this! i liked this as well. other nem nuong places give a larger piece but flavor was there. the sauce didn't have too much flavor but it was enough to add to the dish. the spring roll wrap inside adds a great texture. i think the lettuce used inside is a mix so i guess more variety. 7.1/10 Bun Rieu - i am a harsh judger on viet soup so this felt lacking to me. noodle portion felt small. i felt a lot of things i expected in bun rieu wasn't there. the flavor was okay, but not the umami kind i expected. the meatball tasted fine but i think it wasn't fresh. my friends who have never tried it enjoyed it. but i'll take them somewhere that reaches my expectations. 4.6/10

    We order 1lb grilled pork & 1lb grilled pork chicken. As we had other side dishes. It can serve up to 5-7 ppl per serving with rice/vermicelli Overall not bad for $14/lb for protein cooked

    i thought this place was brodard!!! nope just bodard. been here a few times always get the set menu, it's a great value. comes with salad, soup, cat fish and fried chicken. everything is good. service and vibe is like every other vietnamese restaurant. would recommended

    Don't have much to go on except for our work pot luck someone brought in these awesome springs rolls, believe they are called Nem Nuong Rolls. They have something crunchy with the veggies and pork that sets it apart from regular spring rolls. Also the dipping sauce, which at first glance I thought it was egg drop soup, had an amazing taste. Literally hands down the best dish outside of the smoked turkey that someone brought. Here in downtown there are a lot of bodard express's...are they the same place?

    Bun bo hue
    Andrew C.

    This is an unassuming, solid 3.5-4 star spot if you're craving some vietnamese food. There are a ton of options in the area and it's definitely hard to choose favorites, but here we go. First off, this is not THE Brodard from southern California. While the sauce and rolls may look the same, they definitely are not. The nem nuong (aka sausage spring rolls) do have the crispy fried piece in there. While the spring rolls were still good, they weren't Brodard good but about Brodard's price (4 for $8.50) Bun Bo Hue was large and plentiful, full of flavor, and a solid choice. Would recommend this and very fairly priced Lastly, we got the Banh Xeo, which has been somewhat difficult to find but this place does it well. Nice and crispy, not too oily, and large-portioned. The outside is thicker than normal, but still delicious. Definitely worth trying at least once! Overall, the waitstaff was fairly nice and attentive, which gave them the bump up.

    Stumbled upon this place after I've tried their food from a catering party and I can't stop going back here! Bodard Bistro serves up some delicious food for any appetite! My most recent visit was a few months ago with some family on a late night in Chinatown Houston. Some go-to foods are the Nem Nuong, the spring rolls, and the Rice Cake with Shrimp. Let's break these down one by one because these items are super awesome. Nem Nuong: tasty, contrasting textures, simple, sauce is dope. Spring Rolls: full of stuffing, crunchy, elegant, amazing. Rice Cake with Shrimp: unexpectedly great, crispy vegetables, awesome dipping sauce, fried goodness. Ambiance is very simple inside, traditional Asian restaurant, with some TVs showing some sports, good mix!

    Nem Nướng Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls, $6)- 3.5/5 stars
    Amy D.

    3-3.5 stars, but rounding up since their Nem Nướng Cuon is really good for Texas. However, if you're expecting Brodard from Orange County, you'll be disappointed. Once I stopped comparing, I was able to enjoy their nem nướng. We stopped by to pick up some items and called in ahead of time. They weren't busy around 5pm on a Monday, and our order was ready quickly. We tried: -Nem Nướng Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls, $6, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=t2qmuppJcOX7God9i_AvPQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Pretty good, and they didn't skimp on the meat in the spring rolls. The rolls were a little unevenly rolled, but at least it was tightly rolled. All the ingredients were really fresh. The dipping sauce was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but nothing some sriracha can't fix. -Nem Nướng Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls) To Go Kit: I can't remember how much this was, but we loved how neatly packaged everything was! We made more spring rolls the next day, and it actually tasted better for some reason. If you're looking for a nem nướng fix in Texas, I would recommend checking out Bodard. They only have indoor dining available at this time, and all their staff that I saw were wearing masks. There were plenty of parking spots available in their shared lot.

    2 giant wings

    Bodard has moved again, but the food has not changed... if anything, it might have gotten better. The restaurant was clean, and we were seated quickly. Despite the language barrier of the staff, they seem to understand everything you ask them. Inflation has reared it's ugly head again, and the signature pork spring rolls with egg sauce are now $8.50 for 4. Long gone are the days of the insane value of the $19.99 meal for 2 (2 full wings, catfish clay pot, pineapple catfish soup and lotus salad). It is now $25. The dishes came out staggered and not all at once, and this did not bother me one bit. Why? Because everything was fresh. The sauce for my pork rolls was steaming hot, the rice paper was not the freshest, but I can understand them pre-making their most popular item. Plus, once the sauce softened it up, it was all good. The lotus salad came out next, a little smaller than I remembered but still delicious. Plenty of shrimp. The soup followed, a large bowl, 2 large catfish chunks, plenty of veggies, and nice and hot. Just sweet and sour enough. After the soup came out the catfish clay pot, the sauce still bubbling from being pulled off the heat. It was delicious as usual, and I don't know how... but you can render what little fat catfish has because it melted in my mouth. Last, the wings came out screaming hot. These are full wings, the flat and the drum. It was moist... how do I know this? My wife squirted with me wing juice as she was separating the flat from the drum. Could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was still very good. The restaurant may have gotten smaller, but it's still the good old food I remember.

    Is this the same or close to the recipe as the popular Brodard in Santa Ana, Ca?

    I want to order a party tray of rolls. How much notice do they need?

    I would give them a 24 hour notice, however they have done it for me within 2hrs. Again, depends on how many and if they have other orders. Weekends is the busiest.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

    This is such an underrated Vietnamese spot!!! I found it online and decided to try it out. And it…read moredid not disappoint. Very surprised with the options and the menu. The service was good, the ambience is super casual but the menu was phenomenal. They had artichoke and salmon pho! I clearly love a good pho and I was all for it! I got the artichoke pho with chicken and it was a 10/10!!! I wish this spot was in Atlanta where I live. I would most definitely be a regular. The fried rice and green beans chicken was awesome too. It was a 10/10 full flavor bomb. recommend.

    It has been a while since we have been back. Came here for Sunday brunch. Place has been…read morerenovated since we were there. There is a mural of Vietnamese landscape and an aquarium of arwanas. We started with mango salad with grilled pork and papaya salad with shrimp. Both dishes came with sweet and sour dressing. Mango was sweet and grilled pork was yummy. Papaya salad was fresh and a bit more subtle. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls. The old Saigon rolls came with mango and pork. Always liked mangoes. The other was regular fresh spring rolls with shrimp. The rolls came out last after when we got our Pho. Would have enjoyed it more if it came after the salads. I ordered the combination Pho with all the ingredients (brisket, eye round, tendon, meatball and tripe)a. There is only one size. There was a lot of noodles for the size of the bowl. They were generous with the meat. Wish they would have more soup. The soup itself was ok. Thought it was a little bland compared to others. Service was quick. It didn't take long to receive our order. They offer reusable wooden chopsticks. Will plan to try the other dishes other than Pho like rice plates next time.

It comes in a set of 2 but we got a 3 pack! I ordered the grilled branzino and let me tell you! That chimichurri sauce !! Clutch! It is demonetisation and truly grilled to perfection. My friends ordered the filet mignon and the chicken and they were equally as impressed! I ordered the espresso mousse for dessert which comes out in the shape of a coffee bean. Cuteeee and perfect! This place didn't disappoint and it is a must visit.

    Superb service. They were extremely attentive and polite. Food came out in a timely manner, the…read morechecked up regularly and water was constantly refilled. This is a higher end fine dining restaurant so you should expect the portion sizes and price to be pretty comparable to a lot of other finer dining restaurants. Overall the food's flavor was fantastic. I ordered the king salmon clay pot. I thought the salmon was so tasty! They added pepper and sauce to the salmon - It was tender and flavorful and paired nicely with white rice. The quail (not pictured below) also was super flavorful and was cooked so well it tasted like beef. The soup was also light and refreshing, similar to a west lake soup. It was thicker consistency and had cilantro and chucks of lobster. The drinks served were also super balanced. We ordered the mojito and the dragon fruit cocktail. The mojito was the right balance between minty and sweet with just a hint of alcohol flavor. For the dragon fruit cocktail, it was very fruity, on the sweeter side but not overpowering and was topped with egg whites to give it a little bit of frothiness. I will say, we are slightly underdressed to enter this establishment. Everything seemed so luxurious and many people were in formal business wear! Keep this in mind if you go! There is a parking deck right next to the location as well, both self parking and valet!
