Ok but this place was amazing. Nothing beats a fun night out.. (on a weekday) like this place. First off, the staff is super cool!!! They were so friendly and efficient. Shoutout to the gals and bartender for making this experience memorable. I am from out of town and there is nothing like this place down in FL. So, if you're ever in Houston this place is great for late night bites and good drinks!! I really enjoyed the HANOI beer, they always have great specials. You cannot beat a dozen osyters for $16... that is a steal and they were big and delish. I am still dreaming about them till this day. We also had oyster shooters (yum$8 each but acquired taste). We also ordered fried calamari, & other menu items. But everything on the menu was affordable and worth every penny! I really enjoyed the tater tots, they have such great "giau" food aka after a night of drinking, the late night snacks & drinks were poppin. My cousins and I had such a good time. I can't wait to go back again.

Duck balut

Very cool cozy bar in Chinatown. It can get a bit loud because it's also like a sports bar, I believe. Even so we actually came for dinner! The food is really good and came out pretty fast, I think good food for drinking. The oysters were really good and clean. The balut was also really good here, if you are into it. The squid and mango is my dads favorite and has nice cuts of mango. The lâu had a really nice sweet sour flavor and the seafood in it was really good. It was really nice since it was getting a little chilly at night! The servers were also all so nice and attentive if we needed anything. Frequently coming to check with us. I would totally suggest coming here with your friends, maybe not like a family and kids but also I'm not sure because I used to come when I was younger lol.

Great vibes and music and decor (club lights), drinks were tasty but the food was mediocre. I still love my Vietnamese bar food options though. The best that I had were the raw marinated shrimp, coconut snails and duck egg. The oysters were not good. Would go back for drinks and a good time but not for the oysters.

This spot is okay to have a couple of drinks with your friends. They have a good amount of unique alcoholic beverages and if you're hungry there are some bites that you can enjoy while you're drinking. The food they have has an Asian twist to it. It's still your average bar food so don't expect to be impressed on the quality of your dishes. They have appetizers such as oysters, clams, chicken feet (which I don't recommend). They also have soup, hot pot & sushi. To be on the safe side I usually order their hot wings & curly fries. Their wings with fish sauce & black pepper had an interesting taste to it. Sweet, savory and they were sticky. For my drink I forgot the name, but it tasted like cappuccino with liquor in it. It's a pretty dangerous drink because it's sweet and you don't really taste any alcohol but a couple of those will have you pretty lit. The service from most of the servers was just okay but they have one bartender who was really kind and helpful. My friend ordered the bubbly pineapple & I was intrigued with how they made the drink. Overall, it was okay. It wasn't the best but not the worst either. I usually get here a little early because once it hits 10pm, the place is packed and extremely loud and it feels like you're at a club. Will I come back? I wouldn't go out of my way but I wouldn't mind stopping by from time to time.

Service was great. Restaurant vibe was great for friends hanging out for a chill night with alcohol options and late night snacks. If you like banh canh cua, definitely give theirs a try!

My friend and I had tea at a shop around the corner but we weren't quite ready to go home when they closed so we found this bar in the same shopping strip that stayed open until 2AM. Upon entry, it was very spacious, pretty clean and had a DJ playing. The DJ played a mix of like hop hop (a lot of 2000's era) and we heard reggae ton. It wasn't super crowded so you could sit anywhere but we chose to sit at the bar. The bartenders were all so friendly and very attentive and kept checking on us frequently. I noticed that they had bottle specials for like $100 which is probably better than many other bars in Houston if you wanted to do bottle service. We ordered the $5 shots of crown and I got a Martel confetti while my friend got the peach drink (I forgot the name). My friend ordered these loaded fries that came with this sauce, crab meat and fish eggs I believe it was called. It basically looked like a lot of the stuff that you would put on sushi but on fries. It was just okay. Like it was missing some extra flavor for me. Overall this bar had a nice chill vibe to it so I would recommend it if you wanted to get out the house but didn't want anywhere that would be too packed/chaotic.

Watermelon Soju
Bryan V.

My friends and I came here after dinner as we have been wanting to try their watermelon soju for a while now. It was average at best. We didn't taste much soju and it tasted like lukewarm watermelon juice. Personally, I enjoy other variations of watermelon soju where it's more slushy-like and sweeter. It was a lot of juice though for 4 people! We had trouble finishing all of it. The calamari that we ordered on the side was nothing to write home about. I would've liked it to be more crispy.

thai hotpot-- 5/5
Maria N.

it's usually a hit or miss when we come here. we ordered flavored soju and it was $25 for ONE bottle. yikes. bummed they had no crawfish either. service was good but we were one of the few tables there. the quail balut is always good but they are pricy the thai hot pot broth is so damn good the avocado volcano was pretty meh, lacked flavor the nuoc mam wings were super dry but flavor was good the fried chicken feet is always bomb

Giau, bello

When we came in we noticed a $1/fresh oyster deal happening so we took advantage of that right…read moreaway. The place is somewhat small, only one waiter attended to all tables. A bit on the pricier side but there are plenty of not-as-budget-breaking options. We ordered 2 dozen oysters. They were very fresh. We also ordered a New England Clam Chowder, a Seafood fra Diavolo, a Fatty Beef Creamy Rice, and a Curry Pork Katsu omelette rice. We definitely needed a to-go bag but we wanted to try a lot! I'd go back again to try some new options. Overall pretty solid place with nice service, and food came out piping hot and quickly.

Not sure what happened. The quality of the food and has really gone down since my last visit. We…read moredropped in for a late lunch, party of 2. We ordered: Hong Kong milk tea - good, no complaint Chicken wings - arrived after our entrees. It looks delicious but was bland, really lacking flavor and undercooked. Uni pasta - I loved it the last time I had it. This time, not so much. The noodles were still al dente but the sauce was too thick and sea urchin was overcooked. I didn't really get to enjoy this dish! Sizzling Steak - we asked for the sauce on the side. But the dish was not sizzling and the plate wasn't even hot. The steak was tender, noodles al dente, but the sauce lacked flavor as well. I couldn't really tell what sauce I was dipping into. Service is fine, considering there was only one waitress and only two other small parties while we dined. Unfortunately, I think this would be my last trip here, considering that the one dish I crave from here, sea urchin pasta, no longer tastes right. So sad.
