Shaken Beef (Bo Luc Lac)
Tuyen K.

Service was excellent. The waiters always refilled our waters and got us things we needed. The food was amazing. So so delicious. We are from DFW and the Vietnamese food doesn't compare to Houston. My picky kids loved all the food. We will definitely be back!

Hands down so delicious!!! Authentic Vietnamese food! Claypot everything! Loved claypot pork belly and catfish!!! So moist and juicy! The flavors are so rich and delicious! They carefully crafted every Meal so well! I highly recommend it! The sweet and sour shrimp with vegggie soup wasn't super sour but cooked to perfection! The shrimps are cut well so it's easy to eat!! They also give a huge pot of rice! Highly recommend this cute Vietnamese cafe serving delicious food! You know when it's good when there's viet people in here! Parking is abundant here as well!! Customers service A+ servers are not only welcoming but respectful and nice!!

I'm in love with catfish cooked in clay pots, and I'm still mourning the closure of Tay Do. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, and the ambiance is pretty standard for an Asian restaurant. The waiter was friendly and we were served quickly. The eggrolls were piping hot and the skin was slightly bubbly which I love. The filling was also well seasoned and not too peppery. I'm always hunting for a great egg roll and you can tell that these are made in house. No rice cake I've ever tried has come close to the one from Tan Tan, but their rice cake was crispy and came with pickled vegetables and two dipping sauces. Not as good as Tan Tan, but still extremely enjoyable with a nice twist. The claypot catfish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was nicely caramelized and scrumptious. Unfortunately, not as good as Tay Do, but definitely one of the best I have had in Houston. My diagnosis: come here for claypot catfish and mom's eggrolls

Bun Dau Mam Tom

Bun Dau Mam Tom: this was a bit different compared to other restaurants I've had it at! The sausages were new to me, but very flavorful. The noodles being cube blocks was also quite novel to me. I think I prefer my noodles to be separated. The fermented sauce was deliciously funky. Grilled Mackerel with lemongrass: this was a skip to me. The mackerel was a bit dry and not very flavorful. The fish sauce was definitely carrying, but I did like the wide assortment of vegetables, herbs, and fruit on the side. Canh Chua: Some of the best I've had. Very balanced sweet and tangy broth with a good amount of tender catfish and vegetables. Probably my favorite dish! Clay pot rice: Crispy at the bottom and fluffy. Not sure if I'd order it again to be honest. Not much different compared to other forms of cooked rice. Fried Shrimp with taro: this surprised me. I really enjoyed this and I'm usually not a shrimp fan. Very crispy and delightful. Wide assortment of vegetables and herbs. Loved the dipping sauce. Ca Kho: just about what you'd expect... tastes like homemade cooking. Fatty and tender fish. Sweet, savory, very flavorful.

A bit far from where I live but the clay pot fish alone was worth the drive. Nicely caramelized and tender. Not a big space so may be a wait on busy nights. Everything was well cooked and not under or over seasoned. Service was quick, food came out quick. Def recommended for clay pot fish.

My mom and I always had plans to visit Com Nieu, but something always comes up. A group of friends were hungry, and one suggested this restaurant and I was not opposed since it was on my list to try. The parking lot was crazy, they had a car show next shopping center over (R&B teahouse) and their parking lot was full, their customer improvised and parked in com nieu's lot. This caused a huge issue for all of us, and some of our friends decided to go elsewhere. The food reminded me of my childhood years, felt like I was right at home eating Vietnamese comfort food. We had goi bo tai chanh (beef carpaccio), canh chua ca (Vietnamese sweet & sour soup with catfish), rau muong xao toi (water spinach with garlic), thit ba chi kho to (caramelized pork belly), ca phao mam tom (pickled baby eggplants with shrimp paste sauce), and tom chien hoang bao (shrimp wrapped with fried taro). The dishes also came with a side of rice, but since we had several people with us, we had to ask for more white rice, and there was an extra charge for that. Everything dish we ordered I enjoyed. My favorite was pork belly, pickled baby eggplants with the funky shrimp paste sauce (iykyk) and the bo tai chanh that also come with a funky sauce. I guess you can say I like anything that comes with funky sauce. One negative comment - the restaurant was hot, not sure if they had AC issues, the portal fan did not do much help. It's June and we live in Houston, so the heat was kind of unbearable. The restaurant was smaller than I imagined,but the vibes (minus the ac) was great, thanks to the friendly staff and sweet owner.

When my parents told me they wanted me to select a new restaurant to try I was stressed out since they hated the last two places I suggested. However, I decided to visit (Duc) Fooddeelious' IG for inspiration since my parents normally like his recommendations and picked this place! Luckily this guess was right because my parents loved this place! Food: 4.5 Chicken Salad: 5 I was surprised how big the salad was! I loved the sauce that was drizzled onto the salad! It wasn't too sweet and had amazing crunchy salad texture! Pork belly:4 The pork belly is always caramelized well and it's a perfect pairing with the other dishes since it has a rich umami flavor! It can be a bit salty so I'd pair it with a soup or salad! Environment: 5 This place was really clean for an authentic restaurant.

This place may look sketch on the outside but honestly, I'm happy to have found/heard about this place. It's comforting to see a lot of Asian families dining in as well. I took my parents here and we ordered the pickled cabbage w. chicken, the clay pot fish, and sour fish soup. It was really good and not heavy at all. My parents ate the whole thing and didn't leave any leftovers. The waiter and waitress were attentive and we didn't wait long for food at all.

Sliced Pork Belly w/pickled veggies

Having traveled to Vietnam several times over the years, Com Nieu Houston gives off similar vibes to the homey cafes available all over the country. The place is casual, group friendly, has a nice staff, and most importantly, serves really excellent food. It's not big, but offers a good amount of natural lighting with tables setup for groups. The last time I was here, the AC wasn't working so well and things felt a little stuffy (#1) despite multiple fans in the background. When in doubt, sit against the wall where there are mini wall unit ACs. The clean bathrooms get a thumbs up. Food wise, there's so much to appreciate. The appetizers have a few standouts and I am so happy to have sampled all of them. Their bap nep xao bo ($13) is a nice heap of sauteed corn with dried shrimp and a generous dose of butter. The bot chien trung ($14) is a texture laden rice flour cake with eggs and goes perfectly with their fish sauce. I'd be lying if I didn't think their "moms eggrolls" were wonderfully fried and provided the best crunch. I also got to try their ga hap hanh gung ($19), which reminds me a bit of poached chicken with ginger scallion. It was a bit cold and skimpy meat wise, so this was the least liked dish on this end. Their bun dau mam tom combo ($20), which has all the funk from the mam (#2) and plenty of shrimpy flavor. Their biggest highlight has to be their signature caramelized catfish claypot ($16-20) aka ca bong lau kho to. It was just sweet enough to be candy, but hearty enough to make it a must try for all visits. The fish was wonderfully fatty and was the perfect main course for all the rice. The caramelized pork belly bowl ($17) is equally tasty and I appreciated the bits of shrimp in the bowl as well. Another outstanding but simple dish was their goi ga ($19), which was a nice salad with pickled herbs, strips of chicken with a little bit of sour and sweet all rolled into one bite. My large group and I would have wanted seconds on this if we could. We also opted for their lau for their canh chua ($25), which was a nice sweet and sour soup with their catfish. Rounded it off with mix xao ($14) stir fried noodles, and a round of drinks that included Vietnamese iced coffee ca phe sua da ($5) and their sua tuoi ca phe suong sao ($6), which was a Vietnamese coffee with black grass jelly. Overall, it's been a couple of outstanding experiences here with a friendly owner and robust staff. I would caution folks from over ordering since the tables aren't large enough to accommodate many plates, but I encourage all who enjoy a wide variety of Vietnamese foods to come check this place out. __________ (#1) Just like in Vietnam. (#2) a super funky, distinctive shrimp paste sauce.

Canh Chua
Kacee T.

The ambiance was the capturing and detracting element. In the hot humid Houston heat, this restaurant really highlighted the dining experience of eating in a stuffy restaurant in Vietnam with little a/c and just floor fans blowing around hot air. This is all happening while enjoying some very solid clay pot rice and stewed fish dishes. The Canh Chua had such a good portion of fish that was super fresh and not fishy at all. The flavor of the broth was the perfect balance of sweet, sour and salty. I wish the stewed pork belly was a little more "melt in your mouth" but the flavor of the sauce was all there. We tried one of their special platters and it is super unique and good for the shrimp paste lovers

ca kho, canh chua and egg viet iced coffee.

We ordered ca kho, canh chua, and egg viet iced coffee. Everything was so flavorful and rich. They also serve with a side of sliced Thai chili peppers which I LOVED with the fish sauce as dip. The coffee was a little sweet for me.

Food - 10/10 unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the menu or take the name down, but as you can see from my photo, this is what I ordered. I'd had the mackerel one about a year ago and enjoyed that one. I wanted to try the version with shrimp and it does not disappoint. Great flavors. I've ordered the braised catfish to go because that was phenomenal when I had it the last time. Service -10/10 was a bit slow but it was busy. The woman how took my order was lovely. Ambiance - 10/10 I like the decorations in here, very happy (not sure how else to describe it ) I'll be coming back.

It's a good story about a lazy dog in a ski lodge in front of a fireplace and an idea and voila some 20 years later LazyDog has been around. First crack at it for me. Pretty restaurant with good food quality but at its current price points it presents as an upscale facility like its competitor close by Whisky Cake. With a healthy block of restaurants in this area, there's a lot of things you need to do right. Starting at the front door their host the staff was fairly inattentive. We weren't welcomed in or even asked. Had we been at the facility before. Our server was about as indifferent, not asking any of those questions either we saw her three times only. At order, at delivery of food, and at check. Unfortunately, I really can't point out anyone by name because name tags are not utilized here and the server never introduced herself by name. Surprising that the staff is in jeans which I suppose I might get if we're trying to go with the ski lodge theme but it comes across kind of sloppy given you've got a $40 Chilean Seabass on your menu and linen wrapped silverware. Food quality was great. Taste was on point. But beware, you're not gonna get in and out of here for the same price as BJ's or like restaurant concept. Grilled cheese sandwich will set you back $15. Hamburgers are $18 to $20. Table for two and my bill was 50 for lunch before tip. Definite stop for a business lunch.

If you're craving real Southern comfort food, Mikki's is definitely worth a visit. We stopped in on…read morea busy day, and the line was almost out the door, which is always a good sign. Even with the crowd, the line kept moving, and there was no shortage of delicious-looking options on the steam table. From fried chicken and turkey wings to baked fish, spaghetti, cabbage, green beans, mac and cheese, dressing, black-eyed peas, collard greens, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and more, it was hard to decide what to order because everything looked homemade. I ordered the turkey wing with collard greens, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, a corn muffin, and sweet potatoes. I also grabbed a Suicide Punch, which is a mix of all their Kool-Aid flavors. First, let's talk about those sweet potatoes... BABY!! They absolutely stole the show. They were piping hot, buttery, perfectly sweet, and hands down the best thing on my plate. I could've easily eaten another serving. The collard greens were seasoned beautifully with a rich, smoky flavor and plenty of pot liquor. They were tender without being mushy and tasted like they had been cooking all day. The black-eyed peas were creamy, well-seasoned, and comforting, while the mashed potatoes were smooth and paired perfectly with the savory gravy. The rice soaked up every bit of that gravy, and the corn muffin was soft with just the right touch of sweetness. The turkey wing itself was tender, juicy, and covered in flavorful gravy. My only surprise was that I was expecting just the wing portion, but instead I received the whole wing with the drum attached. It wasn't a big deal because it was still delicious--I just personally prefer getting only the wing. The Suicide Punch was another winner. If you grew up drinking Kool-Aid, you'll appreciate it. It's sweet, refreshing, and a fun mix of all the flavors. My family ordered several other dishes, so we got to try quite a variety. We had baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and black-eyed peas, and everything was generously portioned. The baked chicken was moist and well-seasoned, and the mac and cheese had that creamy, homemade taste you hope for from a soul food restaurant. My only real complaint was that some of the food was served lukewarm instead of hot, which took away from the experience a little. Soul food just hits differently when it's fresh and piping hot. Ironically, the sweet potatoes were the one item that came out nice and hot, and they were absolutely perfect. Overall, Mikki's serves authentic soul food with generous portions and flavors that remind you of Sunday dinner at a family member's house. The food is comforting, the selection is impressive, and it's easy to see why the place stays busy. If everything had been served hot, this would've easily been a five-star experience. Pro tip: Don't leave without getting the sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch. Trust me--you'll thank me later. sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch free refills. Trust me--you'll thank me later.

They've built a loyal and local following by making comfort food the centerpiece of their many talents (#2). When the food is as tasty as the customer service is friendly, it's hard not to love all they to offer. The shop is so small that seating is non-existent, (#3) thus it's strictly a takeout and delivery establishment. Their display case of hot foods changes throughout the day, depending on availability. Anything after the late afternoon is a huge gamble, so when in doubt, call ahead of time to confirm whether an item is available. I love to pop in just to get a good visual of my choices -- and I've always managed to walk out with something delicious. Of all the items I've tried, there have been standouts across the board. The oxtail, stewed chicken with gravy, smothered rib tips, meat loaf, and their über famous honey glazed wings and meatballs are fabulous. Their sides of dressing, sweet candied yams, mac and cheese, and fried green tomatoes make for a perfectly complete meal. Even the cornbread is outstanding, which is really saying something. I'd be remiss not to mention their incredibly underrated desserts. The peach cobbler is fire, pound cake and banana pudding are excellent, and their triple layered German-chocolate cake floored me. It was decadent, a tinge savory, and extremely addicting. The fact they offer catering for every item mentioned above means my future potlucks are going to be next level.

I decided to stop by Whiskey Cake in Stafford, Texas, to check out their happy hour, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! They offer $8 cocktails and appetizers, which is already a win in my book! Espresso Martinis: 5/5 Now y'all know I love a good espresso martini, and baby, these were DELICIOUS! So good that I had TWO! Perfectly made, smooth, and absolutely worth ordering again. And apparently, I wasn't the only one impressed! Once people around me started seeing my martinis, they were like, "Ooooh, that looks good! I want one too!" At that point, I was basically an unofficial brand ambassador! Spinach & Artichoke Dip: 5/5 Rich, creamy, flavorful, and just GOOD! What really stood out to me were the little crispy crackers they served alongside it. I'm so accustomed to spinach and artichoke dip being served with tortilla chips or toasted bread, so this was a nice change! The crackers complemented the dip perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Service: 5/5 Now, let's talk about Gori, my server and bartender! What a sweetheart! The restaurant was SUPER busy, but you would've never known it based on the attention and service he provided. He was kind, personable, patient, and took the time to answer my questions without ever making me feel rushed. And did I mention he made those delicious espresso martinis?! Gori definitely deserves his flowers! Atmosphere & Good Company: 5/5 But what really made this visit special was the PEOPLE! I was sitting at the bar and struck up a lovely conversation with a group of gentlemen enjoying lunch to my right. Then, to my left, I had the pleasure of meeting two of the sweetest ladies, Stephanie and Natalie! Y'all, when I tell you we had such a great time talking! It felt like catching up with girlfriends I'd known for years. We laughed, shared stories, exchanged phone numbers, and hopefully this is the beginning of some new friendships and future outings! And that's what I love about experiences like this. Sometimes you go somewhere just to grab a cocktail and a bite to eat, and you leave with so much more! Overall Experience: 5/5 Great food.

They came with a chipotle aioli, which was already fire, but dipping them in the bourbon glaze took them to another level. The chicken tacos were fully loaded, flavorful, and definitely didn't miss.

The staff did a great job catering to our party as well as guests dining in off to the side. Though we were in the main dining area, we still felt like we were in our own party. We had a buffet style set up in a glass enclosed room overlooking the main dining room. This was great as it gave me a chance to really check out stuff off their menu other then the usual pancit and lumpia that is always at every potluck at work. There was pancit, garlic rice, lumpia, lechon, adobo chicken, calamari, beef kaldereta, fried chicken, different veggies, and other dishes I didn't get the name of. The difference of eating it in house and not catered was night and day difference. It was delicious catered, but even better eating it hot and fresh. For dessert, we had banana lumpia. Delicious. Overall, Gerry's Grill in person was a big hit. Not only did we have great food, but you almost always will have someone on a mike singing some karaoke as well. I will definitely be back when the Filipino food craving hits.

Gerry's Grill is easy to find right off Sam Houston Parkway, and there's plenty of parking, which…read moreis always a plus. The place is clean, and the staff is super friendly, though I'm pretty sure our server didn't realize I'm Filipino because she kept asking if we liked the dishes like we'd never had them before. It cracked me up lol! Most of our cravings were definitely satisfied. I was disappointed they don't serve sago with the gulaman anymore, and the crab fried rice didn't seem to have actual crab in it. I could smell it, but I couldn't see it. The pork BBQ sticks were huge and flavorful, while the inihaw na pusit was on the smaller side, but dipping it in their vinegar sauce made it extra good. My husband tried pork sisig for the first time, and the server explained it's best eaten while drinking, aka as a "pulutan" which again confirmed she didn't realize we're Filipino. The halo-halo was perfect for cooling off in this Texas heat, though I remember the serving being bigger when they first opened. Overall, a friendly spot with solid Filipino comfort food with a few misses, but still a great place when the cravings hit.
