    Great tasting Vietnamese food. The com tam dac biet was definitely worth the price. Restaurant was pretty clean when I came in to eat with my family. Mom got the bun Bo hue and she enjoyed it. Rice plate was full of meat and worth the price. Average Asian service, not the best but enough. I would definitely come back here for a meal again

    Heard so much about this place on social media for having one of the best Bún Bò Huế, and you know me--I love BBH, so of course I had to try it. We came for Sunday lunch and the restaurant was really busy, but there was no wait. The staff were very friendly and told us to sit wherever we wanted. I love the decorations in there really Hue, I forgot to took picture lol. I ordered the regular Bún Bò Huế (without oxtail). It came with everything a good BBH should have, but what really surprised me was the crab cake. I have never seen a restaurant include this, and it's actually the real Vietnamese way. I clearly remember eating BBH in Vietnam and it always came with crab cake, but this is the only place I've seen do it here. I was genuinely impressed. It also came with a dipping sauce, which I believe is a mix of shrimp paste, minced lemongrass, a little oil, and kumquat juice. It was so good and completely changed my mind--I never thought BBH needed a dipping sauce, but this one works perfectly. The BBH itself was piping hot and full of flavor. If you like your BBH more bold and salty like I do, you can ask for raw shrimp paste and add a bit in--highly recommend. Honestly, this place might be my #1 BBH spot so far. It has everything I want in a bowl of BBH, so hands down to Bụi Quán. My husband ordered the Bò Kho (Vietnamese beef stew), which is his favorite, so he's very strict with his opinion. He thought it was really good--flavorful, not too soupy. We asked for extra carrots and they were very generous. I tried it too and agreed--the flavor was there and the color looked great. Both dishes came with two full baskets of vegetables, and they definitely didn't skimp. I love that--it really reminded me of Vietnam. Service was great overall. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Before leaving, we grabbed a sugarcane juice. For $6, you get a pretty big cup--definitely worth it. It was refreshing, and I loved the slight sourness from the kumquat. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. Great food, good prices, and excellent service.

    Closes early during business hours. Haven't been able to try it because it's closed Finally has the chance. Food is ok

    Bun Bo hue
    Paul N.

    Place is recently moved to bigger location next to Hong Kong market. Service can be better and more organized. Hopefully they will make slight changes and will be better. I went during lunch. Did not receive water until after food arrived. Broth is on lighter side. Chili is nice because it has lemongrass in it...which others don't. I would recommend for a quick lunch spot. However there are definitely better bun Bo hue spots around

    We came in around noon on a saturday and the place was packed. I think they can accommodate about 100 diners. They mostly have tables for 4 with 4 or 5 tables for 6. We had to sign up for the wait list and were seated about 10 minutes later. It was little disappointing that they were out of oxtail and nước mắt atiso (artichoke tea) that early in the day. I like my bun bo hue broth to be on the spicy side so i wound up loading it up with extra fresh peppers and 4 scoops of ot sate. I think my brother would prefer the broth here because it is more subtle on the taste with less lemongrass. The wife gave the snails with butter garlic a big thumbs up.

    Lan N.

    The food itself was good, the snails were especially tasty and well prepared. However, the service really brought the experience down. We weren't given any water until halfway through the meal, even after trying to flag someone down multiple times. Once the food was dropped off, no one came back to check on us at all. It's a shame, because the dishes had great flavor, but the lack of attention from the staff made it hard to fully enjoy the meal.

    Waited for a while but it was worth it

    Inside of Hong Kong Market is a viet-Korean snack shop. There's bubble teas and sweets and Asian street snacks here. I couldn't help but noticed their display at the store window of the tornado fries and had to get one. The order came out several minutes later. It was made fresh and sprinkled with lots of powdered nacho cheese. Hmmm...nothing like some good fresh fries with cheese. Delicious.

    Amazing Bun Bo and Bo Kho with authentic flavors, so well-balanced and rich, with a satisfying amount of protein that'd leave you craving for more. Seafood dishes were fantastic as well, super fresh and delish *chef kiss* The snacks and drinks are also top-notch. Service was fast. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. The space can be a little small, yet well-decorated with a cozy vibes. Highly recommended and definitely coming back for more!

    BỤI QUÁN HOUSTON TEXAS Sáng nay, ghé chợ HongKong 4 gặp Mr. Hoàng Duy Lê để nhờ trị bệnh cái laptop bị BitLocker recovery, vậy là ghé Bụi Quán - Vietnamese Street Food để ăn món bún bò Huế, bánh mì bò kho, gỏi đu đủ khô bò, ly nước mía... công nhận tô bún bò ăn rất vừa miệng, ngon đến giọt nước cuối cùng, kiểu nêm nếm theo miền Nam chứ không đậm đà như bún bò ở tại Huế. Tiệm nho nhỏ xinh xinh và khá đông người đến thưởng thức ẩm thực. Bụi Quán còn có những món khác: ốc hương bơ tỏi, ốc len xào dừa, ốc hương sa tế, răng mực xào bơ tỏi ăn với bánh mì, má heo áp chảo, heo rừng xào lăn..., thức uống có nước mía, nước mát atisô, trà đào, cà phê muối, cà phê sữa đá, cà phê đen đá... Quý vị đi chợ HongKong thì quá bộ lại Bụi Quán nhé, ngon ơi là ngon. Add: 11201 Bellaire Blvd A-19A, Houston, TX 77072 . Bui Quan - Vietnamese Street Food to eat Hue beef noodle soup, beef stew bread, dried beef papaya salad, sugarcane juice... I admit that the bowl of beef noodle soup is very tasty, delicious to the last drop, seasoned in the Southern style, not as strong as the beef noodle soup in Hue. The shop is small and pretty and quite crowded with people enjoying the food. Bui Quan also has other dishes: garlic butter snails, coconut stir-fried snails, satay snails, garlic butter stir-fried squid teeth with bread, pan-fried pig cheeks, stir-fried wild boar..., drinks include sugarcane juice, artichoke juice, peach tea, salted coffee, iced milk coffee, iced black coffee... If you go to HongKong Market, stop by Bui Quan, it's so delicious. Add: 11201 Bellaire Blvd A-19A, Houston, TX 77072

    New place in HK4, just grand opening this weekend I believe. Can't say much about it right now besides the nice decorations. I only tried a few items here, but will be back to try something else. Che trai cay sau rieng was good but very pricey ($7). Bo bia rolls themselves were delicious but I don't like the sauce that came with, too sweet for my taste. Will update the rating once I try some more dishes. Advice: the staff making drinks or desserts needs to wear gloves unless they don't touch the foods at all. I saw the girl using her barehand to place the lime slice into a cup of ice.

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.

Growing up, my mom and grandma would make Cá Kho Tộ and Canh Chua, and those two dishes just belong together. You get the rich, savory flavors from the caramelized fish, while the soup adds the perfect amount of sourness to balance everything out. Before we went, I called to ask if they served Vietnamese egg rolls since my friend was craving some. The guy who answered the phone wasn't the friendliest, but I decided to roll the dice anyway, and I'm glad I did because the food was solid. We started with the egg rolls. At $10.95 for five pieces, I thought they were a little pricey. They came out piping hot and fresh from the fryer with a great crunch, and the fish sauce was delicious. My only complaint was the lettuce--they only gave us one piece. What am I supposed to do with one piece of lettuce? The Canh Chua Tôm had the perfect level of sourness, exactly how I like it. The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the medium-sized bowl was a generous portion. The Cá Kho Tộ was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, though I would've liked just a touch more salt. Pair it with a bowl of rice and some soup, and it's hard to beat. Overall, this place was solid. Is it better than my grandma's? Absolutely not--but that's a tough standard to live up to. It definitely satisfied the craving, and yes, I'd come back.

Multiple tables that were seated after us were greeted, had their orders taken, and were served while our table was never acknowledged. My family is Vietnamese, but I am not, and I couldn't help but wonder if favoritism played a role in how tables were treated. After waiting an hour without anyone taking our order--or even offering us water--we finally left. What made it even more frustrating was that we had two toddlers with us who were incredibly patient the entire time. Despite seeing us sitting there for so long, the staff made no effort to check on us or even acknowledge our presence. The food has always been worth coming back for, but the complete lack of service on this visit was unacceptable.

The place is almost always busy proving the quality of the food and the kind attentive service from the staff. When you enter, I usually just a spot and I'm quickly spotted by a waiter. They take the order quickly and the food comes out relatively quickly and hot. The staff even call out the classic phrase "Nước sôi!" when they bring a hot dish out of the kitchen. This phrase translates to boiling water, but they do this for patron safety. I've ordered the Cơm chiên gà xối mỡ which is fried rice with crispy chicken. The rice and chicken are cooked perfectly and the rice has crunch bits made for it. The chicken also has two dipping sauces that come with it. 5/5 taste We have also had the Bánh Khọt which comes as separate small pancake style foods stuffed with shrimp and batter with a side if fresh vegetables and fish sauce. 5/5 taste They also have some refreshing drinks and soft drinks as well. Large parking lot and the restaurant is in a strip center. Will return!

    Hmmm. I ordered banh khot because I had been craving it after my VN trip. The bánh khọt looked…read morepromising at first because the edges were crispy, but the center underneath the shrimp was extremely soggy and lacked flavor. The texture was disappointing overall, and the dish tasted bland and underwhelming. That said, I'm willing to give the restaurant another try since they offer many other dishes on the menu. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return specifically for this dish, but if I happen to be in the area again, I'd be open to trying some of their other offerings.

    I had little experience with Vietnamese cuisine and so did not know what to expect when I went to…read moredone at Hem. Oh how I've been missing out! I loved the street vendor feel that hits you from the moment you walk up with the casual outdoor seating. However, the interior, with its regal decor and trendy feel was what caught my attention. Our waiter was very kind and took time to explain the items on the menu, and his recommendation of the egg coffee drink was perfect for what I was looking for! The egg rolls, skewers, fried rice and clams were all delicious. Everything was rich in flavor and unique compared to other Asian cuisines I had tried before. Can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu!

The food is consistently great, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering the wide range of seafood options. I've tried the razor clams, and the grilled pompano, and I highly recommend both! They also have a solid lunch menu, which makes it an even better value. Service is always good, and the seating areas, inside and out, are very inviting. Definitely worth checking out!
