I was intrigued by the article in Houstonia magazine and wanted to come check it out. I fell in love with Bún Chả Cá Fish Noodle Soup. I have read about the origin of Đà Nẵng specialty. The restaurant employees were friendly and spoke fluent English. It makes ordering at ease. I only waited for about 10 minutes. I also love the nước mát lá dứa Artichoke Tea. It's lightly sweetened and refreshing. It has great flavor from pandan and retained the color of artichoke. Another reason being here, I wanted to try the freshly made Bánh Bôt Loc Vietnamese dumplings. They were tiny compared to those I found at grocery stores. I asked the manager if I could order ones without pork. He said no, they were premade. I was pretty stuffed after eating half of the banh mi sandwich and dumplings. I had to get an order of Bún Chả Cá Fish Noodle Soup for dinner. I enjoyed it at home after heating up the soup on the stove. Then, pour it over the noodle bowl with the vegetables. The parking lot was full on this side of the Ha Oanh Plaza, where Bún Bò Huế Đức Chương Midnite is located. But the restaurant was not quite filled halfway. That was a good thing because I got served quickly. There are many tables that can be rearranged. That makes it easy to bring a group of hungry foodie friends to try the lighter side of Vietnamese noodles. Yeah, I will be back. https://www.houstoniamag.com/eat-and-drink/2016/09/our-latest-obsession-bun-cha-ca-da-nang read more

This place is known for their fish cakes and they were definitely good. The appetizers were good but I thought the main dishes we got were okay. The vibe is nice, but our group ran out of water and had to wait a while to get water refilled. read more

Bun Cha Ca Da Nang - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I heard this place is know for their fish cakes so we wanted to try it. It was a hot day so we got a dry "soup" dish, a sandwich, and two apps. The fish cake was exactly how I remembered it with the crack peppercorn mixed in it. I really like how thin and crispy the fish cake was in the sandwich. The quail eggs wrapped in fish cake were interested. Make sure you get a good grip on it or you'll drop it. The banh beo was good and was actually my favorite along with the thin fish cake in the sandwich. The staff were quick and nice. He checked on us to see how we were doing. The tables and chairs were clean. Despite the menu being half soup, the resturant wasn't hot. Parking is free and out front but there are some assigned business customer spots. read more

Viet restaurant with plenty of seating & parking. The only complaint I have for this place is please give water, utensils, and paper out first before serving the food. Other than that the service was alright. FOOD RATINGS Banh Canh Cha Ca: 3.5/5 Banh Beo: 4/5 read more

Probably my favorite place to eat in Bellaire, honestly! I'm usually pretty picky with Vietnamese food but this was right up my alley. Taste was good, portion was just enough, price was fair. Oh and their apetitzers were also amazing and plentiful to choose from! Had a tough time narrowing down to just two. read more

Had the Mi Quang Tom Thit, Banh Canh, Banh Beo, and Banh Bot Loc. All were on point! The Banh Beo is thick and filling so an order of 5 was plenty for 3 people as an appetizer. The coconut water with komquat is also refreshing and delicious! read more

If you don't like fish cake, then you definitely don't want to come here. I saw a post that named this place with one of the best sandwiches... I thought "okay - it's fish cake, but maybe have also serve the traditional banh mis." Yeah, no. They only had fish cake sandwich and a banh bot loc which is shrimp and pork clear dumplings - very strange. We still tried the fried fish cake sandwich to see what the hype was about ... I think I'll stick to the traditional ones. For appetizers, we ordered the banh beo and egg rolls. Banh beo is not a common thing to see in Viet restaurants (at least I don't think so) and I don't think it's something non-Viets would order. I grew up eating these in trays where they were neatly half stacked on each other and covered in minced shrimp and mung bean. The first time I ate single servings was at Nam Giao and it was delicious! This place does the single servings as well, but their serving size was bigger. I would have to say that this banh beo is better than Nam Giao. It's hotter, fresher, and softer. The egg rolls were a bit of disappointment. They were bite size, so they were cute, but the flavor wasn't incredible. For entrees, we had the Bun Bo Da Nang (Beef Noodle Da Nang region) and Canh (Viet Udon). Both weren't bad but like I said earlier - it's all fish cake! Lots and lots of fish cake! I felt bad because we couldn't finish all the fish cake! If you like fish cake, you'll get fish cake! read more

I didn't know what to expect when we came in but my dad really wanted to try is so we made a stop of dinner. This plaza is surrounded by restaurants. It was a tough decision between this and Bun Bo Hue midnight. Ultimately, we settled for this. They specialize in fish cakes so noodles and fish cakes and fish caskets you can buy to heat up at home. Surprisingly, everything was delicious. The banh beo and banh bot loc tran were delicious. They're pretty bite size small so order at least two to share if you're planning on eating them as appetizers. The spring rolls were mini size but they came out crunchy. There was just so much flavor in every dish. The fish cake dry noodles were yummy. My least favorite was the wontons. They weren't as crunchy as other items and kinda soft. read more

The fish cake noodle soup here is the type of hot noodle soup you crave on a gloomy, rainy day. Tasty yet clean flavor in the broth that just warms up and rejuvenates your entire body. The fishcake has a very enjoyable bouncy texture, mixing in perfectly with the soft rice noodles and crisp cabbage. They also do a dry version with soup on the side. Aside from the noodle soup, they offer smaller appetizer type dishes such as Banh Beo, steamed fresh to order. The Banh Xeo that usually comes as a giant crepe is served taco sized instead, which I found very amusing. #214 read more

Odd soup flavors to me. The bamboo noodle broth mixed with 3/4 different types of pork meat cake did not seem to work well together for me. Maybe it is a special palate I need to have to enjoy? Not sure here but definitely was not a fan. The rice cakes with toppings (Banh Beo) was decent though. 3 stars for that. Other than that, one time try for me. read more

Nice decor, place was clean, service was quick & food was pretty good. I decided to order their Bun cha ca (fish cake noodle soup). The food came out fast which I'm happy about because I was hungry. My first sip, WOW the soup was scorching tongue burning hot so I had to wait a few mins to dive in. The broth was good, you get a hint of sweetness and a nice amount of savoriness. In addition, I enjoyed the cabbage, tomatoes & bamboo that was added. This is good for a cold day, if you're sick, or you just want something to rejuvenate yourself. On the other hand the fish cakes were a bit tough, it just had more of a firm texture which I wasn't expecting. It was also stuffed in so much black peppers and to be honest it would've been good without it because the fish cakes were already flavorful. Other than that, it was good. Overall, I was content with my meal, it's not popular like Pho, bun bo hue or ramen but it's something worth ordering. Will I come back? Yes. read more

Mom was raving about this place, so decided to check it out with her. She ordered for us to share a fishcake noodle soup, banh mi, and fish cake with quail egg. Everything was pretty good, and uniquely thought out with the flavors. One thing to note, don't order the lotus ice tea unless you like the taste of perfume. Because, that is what it tasted like. Was not a fan. Other than that, can't wait to come back. read more

Omg one of the best restaurants we went to in Houston! And we tried sooo many Vietnamese ones. We went on a whim, husband's idea (not this dedicated yelped, lol) and we both were hooked! The place is clean, welcoming with wonderful service. The cashier was also the server and he handled everything great! He was nice, helpful and able to speak English as well. My husband is southern Vietnamese with a cuisine that is quite different from other regions of Vietnam. We tried da Bang's version of banh beo and fell in love! It's also different from the southern Vietnamese way, thicker with more topping on top, and omg sooo good! this was our first time trying this noodle soup dish from da nang. Amazing! The broth was complex, clean and so aromatic! The cha ca or fried fish cake that they are famous for was honestly the best cha ca I have ever had! We loved it so much we bought it from the restaurant, and bought all the supply they had since we were leaving the next day. We shared it with our friends and family back in Philly who all loved it as much as we did! There is a sister business who just does the fish cake, but we have friends and family who visit Houston often enough that we will send a small carry on next time for our stash of cha ca read more

MÌ QUẢNG TẠI HOUSTON TX, USA Món ăn mì Quảng ra đời tại Quảng Nam - Đà Nẵng, có thể gốc cội rễ từ phố cổ Hội An, nơi mà nhiều lái buôn đi thuyền từ Tàu với Nhật cập bến. Hội An ra đời vào khoảng nửa cuối thế kỷ XVI, thời nhà Lê... có thể thịnh vượng nhất vào thời chúa Nguyễn Hội An trở nên sầm uất, giao thương buôn bán với nước ngoài... trở thành thương cảng quốc tế sầm uất bậc nhất khu vực Đông Nam Á thời kỳ đó. Nhiều thương gia Tàu đến và dừng chân lại, xây nhà cửa với bán buôn, thôi trở về quê hương nữa... theo năm tháng những món ăn của Tàu "lai" Việt và có thể thành MÌ QUẢNG như bây giờ. Có mấy câu mà cô gái ngày xưa mời gọi: "Mì em mới trắng còn tươi / Anh ăn vài chén cho người khoẻ ra / Khoẻ ra lên rú xuống nà / Thế nào cũng được dăm ba gánh củi đầy..." Tui hơi "chạc đa củ trối" - nghĩa là "khíu chọ" như mấy câu thơ: "Thương nhau múc bát chè xanh / làm tô mì Quảng mời anh xơi cùng"... tại sao miền Trung mà dùng từ bát với xơi của miền Bắc? Tui sửa lại: Thương nhau rót nước chè xanh / Làm tô mì Quảng mời anh ăn cùng... có khi tác giả là người miền Bắc theo hành trình Nam tiến... chừ thì kệ đi, gọi chi gọi còn ta cứ ăn mì Quảng cho đã thèm. Sài Gòn là nơi tui được ăn tô mì Quảng đầu tiên, sau đó ghiền... và nơi nào nghe đồn lời mì Quảng ngon là tui tìm tới, bất kể tiệm đó ở quận xa hay gần. Ở thành phố Houston TX có rất nhiều tiệm bán mì Quảng, nhưng tui ghiền ăn nhất tại tiệm Bún Chả Cá Đà Nẵng, hình như nó "giống" mì Quảng gốc tại xứ Quảng hơn. Bánh Canh có ở Quảng Trị với Huế, bún bò giò heo thì Huế ngon nhất quả đất, mì Quảng thì Hội An, Phở thì miền Bắc, Bún chả thì Đà Nẵng, Don thì Quảng Ngãi, Hủ tiếu Mỹ Tho, cơm tấm Sài Gòn... heo giả lợn thì hổng biết nơi đâu? Nhưng mỗi nơi có một nét riêng về ẩm thực, chế biến tạo nên vị ngon khác nhau. Quý vị ở Houston TX thì ghé "ăn thiệt" món mì Quảng tại Bun Cha Ca Da Nang nhé! Nơi ấy còn có món chủ đạo là Bún chả cá Đà Nẵng, bánh bột lọc, chả cá mua mang về, tiệm có bán luôn những hủ mắm Dì Cẩn ngon tuyệt vời.

This is probably the worst restaurant we have ever eaten in Houston. We ordered two dishes for take out. We ordered Mi Quang and Bun Cha Ca. My wife was excited because it's been a long time since she had those specific food. When we took our food home, we warmed it up and started eating our food. The first thing we noticed is "the bad fish smell". The fish smelled like death. It was not fresh and smelled very old food that needed to be thrown away. After examining the dish and taking one bite, we decided to just dump the food to save us a trip to the hospital. Please people!!! You have been warned! DO NOT GO HERE. Food is not fresh and could possibly be borderline rotten. Yuck!!!!!! Worst Vietnamese restaurant in Houston. read more

I love this place I have been here many times . I love bun Cha ca , I like the chili and garlic they made it was delicious.

I like bun Cha ca here, it is the closest food from Danang that you could find. The food is decent good, however, I think the owner could improve the recipes of the broth, make it more tasty like sate tomatoes with shallots and pineapple before put it in the broth. Also, the broth base should have dry squid and shrimps for true flavor of bun Cha ca da nang. Topping should have more paprika oil along with tốp mỡ for better look and flavor. read more

If you can't do spicy then don't order it. 4. I would not get banh beo again they were not good. The flour was too soft and the sauce was wei read more

Don't have Bun Bo Hue on Labor Day weekend. Unacceptable. The restaurant is empty just us 4. The waiter didn't know they don't serve bun bo Hue. Took our order then came back outside told us they don't serve it. It's on the menu printed and didn't mark off. Ridiculous. If you don't have a specific menu item you need to tell the customer before they started to order. No sense of awareness in here. Will not be back. And don't recommend to anyone. The bum Bo Hue Đúc chuong and every other restaurants are busy, and you are dead. Management needs to fix this mistake before you run out of business read more
