    Banh Beo
    Lisa H.

    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

    Hôm nay có lẽ là thất vọng nhất từ trước tới giờ!! Mình order mì quảng chả cá và bánh canh chả cá, chả cá và tôm đều bị thiêu!! Chua lè!!! Lò chả cá mà để chả thiêu bán cho khách! Chịu thua luôn!

    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.

    Banh mi cha ca (fried fish cake)
    Jennifer N.

    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!

    Small restaurant, featuring traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Fast service. Plenty of free parking. Large menu with tasty food.

    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.

    Food is really good. Cons they need more help. We waited 30 min for them to clean one table. There were 5-6 dirty tables. That about 30-40% of tables. Bun cha ca 4/5 star Ban beo 4/5 Ban bot 4/5 Mini egg roll 4/5

    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

    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.

    Fish cake party soup

    This soup come thick or clear. This region is known for their fish patties so it good try beside pho which is beef or chicken. The fresh garlic pepper is my favorite thing along with the broth and fish patties. Give it a try !!

    Bun cha ca- 3.6/5
    Tri D.

    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.

    Banh Mi Cha Ca
    Jessica T.

    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.

    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

It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place. In this review I want to give a special shout out to Beverly, our server, as she was amazing and whom I recommend. She practically read our minds and was an absolute star.

He asked if we wanted it hot or warm. We ordered it warm and in hindsight we wish we'd ordered it hot but it was still perfect for a chocolate fix. He even brought out a candle for the cake when he found out her birthday was coming up the following week. I also ordered a cheesecake and we shared each other's desserts. Needless to say we had plenty to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed it the following day as well and at a hotter temperature that was perfect with soft serve ice cream.

The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.
