Pinakbet
Gerald H.

My wife was craving for Pinakbet, so I picked up an order at Godo's, I could not resist getting a couple of baked goodies especially that the rolls were warm. I did get the combo which included the pinakbet, along with the pork adobe, both were flavored very well, making my wife very happy. The service was excellent also. And you have the option to eat in or take out. Great for a quick lunch.

Best egg rolls eva

I absolutely love the egg rolls here. I've gotten the pancit a few times, but the eggs rolls keep me coming back. I am able to pop them one after another until I realize I've eaten a whole box for myself. This is not somewhere I would dine in.. I only do call in orders...the dining area does not look appealing enough to eat in. Also, everytime I come in, the staff seems a little confused and overwhelmed.

halo-halo

Getting a nice surprise of a Filipino sit-down restaurant being so close to our hotel, we made it a point to visit for dinner during our short trip to Houston. It was our last night in Houston visiting our nephew, so suggested a Filipino restaurant close to our hotel, Houston Medical Center, and Rice University. Like most Filipino restaurants, Godo's Restaurant serves early breakfast so are open at 7 am, but close later at 7pm, allowing of an early dinner. We got there around 5:10pm. Since our nephew had to head back to campus, we ended up placing an order, half to go (for our nephew), half to dine-in. The half to go portion was done pretty quickly and packaged beautifully. My wife and I took our time with our dine-in meal. -- Hot Meal ($6.99) - basically a rice bowl, with a choice of protein. We chose lechon kawali, and the generous portions looked really good. -- Egg rolls ($17.99 for fifty) - comes in multiples of 25. We got 50, and split it between us. They are cut smaller in size than other places, but the price reflects that. That being said, I though the filling was very bland and too finely ground meat...it could have been any quality of meat, and didn't care for the mouthfeel. They were super crispy though, and came with the typical chilli sauce that greatly helped. For us: -- Whole bangus sinigang ($14.95) - this was made to order so took a while, but it was a beautiful dish. A whole plum tomato was used, along with generous amount of green beans and cabbage. The broth was really tasty, and not greasy at all since seafood was used. The fish was relatively boneless, but there really weren't too many meaty pieces...it was a smaller fish used, and I had to carefully pick away the inedible (for me) pieces. -- Pancit ($12.95) - wife asked for a mix of Bihon (rice noodle like what's used in Pho) and Canton (Chinese style lo mein). It's made to order, so her request of no fish sauce was granted. It's a very generous portion...we didn't order rice, so this became our side dish and the two of us was only able to finish half. -- stick of pork bbq x 2 ($2.50 each, though charged $6.50 for both) - pork shoulder, with the fat, glazed in a banana ketchup sauce and cooked over an open flame. It was good, better than most renditions we've tried in California...and definitely a better price. -- halo-halo ($5.99) - thought this was a steal at that price. Very pretty to look at, needs to be eaten slowly. Again, this was handmade when ordered. Did my best to finish a little more than half. All the restaurant chefs and servers were very nice, making sure we were happy. While we were waiting and eating, we were pleasantly surprised how busy they were through phone orders for pick-up. The phone was constantly ringing, and doctors/nurses from the nearby hospitals were coming in to get their Filipino dishes for them and their friends. The prices are very reasonable, especially since everything was made when ordered. We got a ton of really good food, and even with tip, the total didn't tip ninety bucks. There is also a small bakery where you can pick up Filipino favorites. But unlike some combo grocery/restaurant, Godo's is classified as a food/drink establishment for credit card purposes (instead of a grocery store)...so ended up using the right card after all.

Went to Godo since it was a short walk from my hotel. Got the Tocino Breakfast and the Lumpi Shanghai. The place isn't the most glamorous, but the service was fast and they were very helpful. The Tocino was kind of dry, but still tasty. That was way too much delicious lumpia for me. I took some with me to the plane to eat on the way home!

I was craving for Filipino food and our Caucasian colleague recommended me this! 0.6 miles away from my training and I had fried mackerel and mixed veggies. They heated my own brown rice I brought and they were very accommodating. Nothing like Filipino hospitality. They have the food market as well with various foods I'd get if I was home. H town is busting with great Filipino food! Clean atmosphere. Simple and straightforward!

Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

He's a chocolate lover so I decided on the Black Forest cake for him which is one of their specialties. I ordered the night before for noon pickup and paid online which was a pretty easy process. I was able to include instructions to write "Happy Birthday Dad!" When I stopped by on a Sunday at noon, thankfully parking wasn't too bad and I snagged a spot easily. Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!
