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
Bryan V.

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.
Cindy M.

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.

How many years has TFB been bookmarked?! Tooooo long…read more But good fortune popped up in Pearland as I was returning home from work and I just had to stop by! There was no line too?! I made a bee line to get my funnel cake before the word spread that TFB was in Pearland! I went to my IG just to see what their times would be for the pop up. First post I see is that they have a featured flavor- the cookie butter funnel cake. With Biscoff cookies and pieces of cheesecake interlingled within... Yall, I'm not a big sweets person and I only bought the large to support the biz, but that dang funnel cake is no more! Gone. Disappeared. Now, not all at once. That would be crazy, but a few bites when I first got it...a few more hours later...a few more today and yeah its gone. It tasted just as good the next day too, so well worth the money for not only the portion size but the creativity. I never would have thought to put Biscoffs on a funnel cake....so glad somebody did! The food truck is very efficient as well. You place your order and they give you a buzzer. They were willing to bring the funnel cake to me but I had parked at a distance anticipating that more people would be showing up soon so didn't want to get blocked in. Very courteous people and the funnel cake - the BEST I EVER HAD. Hands dooooown! If you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, follow them on IG and enjoy satisfying that sweet tooth!

I walk over post workout and ordered the strawtella funnelcake. Yummy! Very very good and a large portion. I ordered the small but it had weight okay! Staff were friendly and the service was quick!

She told me to go to the bakers son and make sure I go early because they do sale out and people buy in bulk. I entered with intentions of only getting the ube bread but $40 and 5 items later I went slightly overboard. They have so many items and they all look delicious. The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10. I also got a biscoff bread sandwich (I'm forget the name) which had the softest and most perfect bread I've ever indulged in. Now to what the employees recommended and the absolute star. The ube Swiss roll. Omg, it was phenomenal. 20 out of 10! It was perfect in every way. I live 30 mins away but will make sure to keep The Bakers Son on a must go place weekly!

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
