    Beef Pho Beef Noodle Soup (Pho)
    Charity J.

    Corner 99 has a lot going for it. We've tried to eat here many times since they opened and we always missed the connection. Finally we made it work! Thank goodness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cute, the energy is good... and the volume is LOUD.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had two kids across from us screaming like they were auditioning for a horror movie, so conversation was basically optional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not the restaurant's fault, but definitely part of the experience. Now the food? Genuinely delicious. My husband ordered the pho and ended up emptying two bowls of chili sauce into it -- and it was still on the mild side. Flavorful, yes. Spicy, not so much. If you love heat, you'll want to BYO fire. I ordered the tofu vermicelli and it was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, great texture -- it just needed a little kick to make it perfect. Same with the spring rolls. Still, I was honestly thrilled to see a full vegetarian section on the menu. As a vegan‑who‑still‑eats‑cheese (cheese‑itarian life), having real options felt like a win. And bonus points: they've got a killer local beer selection. Plenty of great choices, and it pairs perfectly with the food. Bottom line: Corner 99 serves great food with thoughtful vegetarian choices and awesome local beers, but if you're a spice lover, you'll be doing your own heavy lifting. And maybe bring noise‑canceling headphones just in case the kid choir is performing again.

    Shaking Beef with Fried Rice

    My wife and I are regulars here for their banh canh cua and bun cha hanoi. Both dishes are so delicious. I don't even like banh canh unless I get it from here. The broth is so flavorful, full of depth, and the pork that comes with it is probably the most tender pork I've ever had in my life. The broth for bun cha is kind of lacking at most places I've tried in town, but not here! This place has easily become one of our favorites!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friends and I visited on a Saturday night and surprisingly, there weren't that many people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated right away and I noticed that the water cups/dishes they use here are pretty cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friends ordered an appetizer (skewer) and beer and said they were both good. As for the entree, I ordered the Bahn Can Cua (tapioca noodles with shrimp, crab, and pork). I'm personally someone who is super picky with anything pork related and really sensitive to gamey tastes. The soup was a little too strong for me at first but when I added the lime, it was significantly better. The pork slices, shrimp, and crab were all delicious! Overall, it wasn't the best bahn can cua I ever had but it wasn't bad at all! Service was good too.

    Shaking Tofu with Fried Rice

    Enjoyed this place, it's considered "modern Vietnamese" we enjoyed this place a lot. Simple menu, and portions sizes are decent. I read this review about the banh canh, so I ordered it. And it's good!!! If we come back I want to try the pho and a few other things Service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And ambiance is nice and clean, plenty of parking around as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's also a beer menu for beer enthusiasts

    I got the chicken wings, pork chop rice, Cahn chua and their skewer combo. The wings were really good, the flavors hit. Pork chop rice was definitely one of the better pork chop I've had in Houston. It was tender and flavor was really good. I wouldn't recommend the skewers. All of them came out really dry and were lacking flavor. Other than that everything was pretty good.

    There are a lot of Vietnamese options around this area, but this one is definitely worth trying out! I was in the mood for pho and in the area around lunch. I branched out and tried the lemongrass beef broth soup instead of pho. It was a treat and will have to become another go-to. It was plenty of soup for me to also have dinner. The broth and beef were so flavorful and hearty. The Vietnamese coffee was great too, super strong as Vietnamese coffee is and definitely a pick me up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The server was nice and it was a cute little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Tofu stir-fried Egg Noodle

    What a great find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Little touches like the drink menu and chopstick box were things that made the restaurant special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Delicious brisket fried rice and tofu stir fry were perfectly cooked and flavorful. Several beers to choose from and they also do flights.

    Came here really wanting to try their fish sauce chicken wings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a modern interior decor with hanging light bulbs and plenty of natural lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers are quick and attentive. The tables are already set with a cool set of mugs and silverware, but had to ask for napkins. We got the corner 99 fish sauce chicken wings (appetizer) for an entree with a side of white steamed rice (extra $2). I got the banh canh cua soup. Chicken wings 5/5. Definitely tasted way better than it looked. Fresh, well seasoned and cooked. Amazing fish sauce flavor and not too watered down. Perfectly fried. Banh canh 5/5. Came with extra chili flakes and lime. The tapioca noodles were a bit slightly over cooked for my personal taste-- I like them a bit chewier. But the broth was so good, finished the entire bowl. The 3 shrimps were colossal, and the crab meat and pork were plentiful. Very satisfied with this meal and no longer will need to make our own fish sauce chicken wings. This place is legit!

    Myself and my family have been coming to Corner 99 since it opened. We can order off the menu without even looking because we all know exactly what we've come for. Over time I've felt as though I may have been overreacting but our last visit solidified that we won't be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness and sanitation is of the utmost importance when I'm out dining with my family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's no telling what happens in the kitchen but we of course can see what happens otherwise. One waiter that has been there a while has consistently bad dandruff. I let it go initially because he didn't serve us our food but in the back of my mind it was unsettling to think that could be flying into the food. This past Sunday we went and the man serving our food put a dish on the table and proceeded to sniff and wipe his nose with his hands before taking so much as a step back from the table. Not just a one off, repeatedly. I counted 3 times. He then proceeded to wipe his nose with his shirt and pick at his nose as he went to grab a cup of hot water I requested. He also got on his phone and took a call only to go back serving. My husband politely asked him to return the cup and wash his hands to which he obliged. That did it for me though. I was absolutely disgusted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That hot water was requested because we soak our silverware due to it coming in this community box that sits on the tables now instead of individually distributed utensils.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This done in order to enjoy a place we've come to from the beginning but it's just not worth it at this point. Hopefully some training will take place and more sanitary practices will begin for their current and future customers. They deserve at minimum, that. We, unfortunately, won't be back. To be clear, I did ask for the manager but was told they left after a large party was served earlier that day.

    Salt and Pepper Calamari
    Chau L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little Vietnamese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. We ordered: - Pork skewer | 7.5/10 - Tender and flavorful - Salt and pepper calamari | 5/10 - Too salty and wasn't crispy - Bánh canh cua | Didn't try, but my mom said she would not order it again - Smoked brisket pho | 7/10 - Liked the brisket, pretty solid pho - Hot cheek dumpling | 5/10 - Dumplings were already falling apart before I even ate any. Wasn't bad, but wouldn't get again - Shaking tofu with fried rice | 5.5/10 - Sauce was pretty good, paired well with the rice. But tofu wasn't crispy at all which was disappointing - Thai green milk tea | 7/10 - A bit too sweet at first sip, but tasted better once the ice melted more

    The banh canh cua was FIRE!! The broth was so flavorful and they did not skip out on the crab meat. This has got to be the best banh canh in Houston. Brisket Bun Bo hue was good however I think I would get the normal one next time. I personally don't think brisket goes with BBH however my fiance seems to really like it! The broth was flavorful and overall a great dish. Great customer service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]very clean restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute ambience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Vermicelli with chicken to go

    I previously gave this restaurant 5 stars but lately the customer service is lacking. The food is still delicious but I'm going to try another Vietnamese place in the area a friend told me about and see if their service is good. Corner 99 used to have a woman who worked there was very good and knew her regulars and anticipated needs like extra sauce before you even asked. Hire her back if you can

    This place is huge! It's a cafe in the front and yoga (I think) studio in the back behind closed…read moredoors. The cafe is huge and spacious with lots of seating. This is a great place to come study or do work on your computer. Some tables have outlets too. The service was good. No complaints. I came here because I heard their matcha is good. Each matcha is $8.5. They claim to use ceremonial grade matcha but under the matcha latte list, there is only one drink labeled CG (ceremonial grade) while others do not. The CG is the basic and they use agave for sweetening. They also don't hand mix per cup. It is pre-batched. I'm not a pre-batch hater although I do prefer each cup to be hand mixed, so I will give it a chance if it tastes good. The CG latte was surprisingly smooth and pretty good! Not bitter at all imo, but it was slightly grainy. They used the perfect amount of agave to balance. It wasn't sweet either. Just perfect balanced flavor for a regular CG matcha latte. The other matcha latte I ordered was the banana. It is SO GOOD! A lot grainier than the CG, though. But I would definitely order that again if I come to Katy. It has a cinnamon flavor in it (probably why it felt grainier than CG) and mixed with the banana flavor was just very yummy. Highly recommend!

    Cute shop that's also a yoga shop. Staff is friendly…read more Drinks are good. A bit inconsistent. But good overall. I love the aesthetic and pastries ain't bad either. If I'm in the area, it's definitely a spot to stop by.

I was just in town for the weekend for a friend's baby shower and I swear they have some great places to eat and drink in this area. Very cute little spot and most everything is as usual credit card base and touch screens. I was going to go to the counter but decided to go to the touch screen so I could browse through the menu.

I wouldn't get it again. -My friend got the banana matcha, and she said it was ok and could do better with the banana flavor and cream. -The self-checkouts can be difficult to get things scan properly. -There seems to be a lot of ads for new items, but it's not on the menu.

I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!
