    Thick flat rice noodles with beef and Chinese broccoli
    Alexus V.

    Hubby and I stopped by for lunch and actually dined in as we normally order to go. It's Saturday almost noon and not busy at all which doesn't mean anything. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue spicy noodle soup and it definitely hit the spot. The broth was full of flavor. Hubby ordered his usual Mongolian chicken with steamed rice and he said it's always delicious. The wait staff are always super friendly and attentive which is why we order food here often.

    I don't why so many people were unhappy with this restaurant. Maybe the young man's waiter didn't smile much n spoke broken English. But the food is delicious. Chinese broccoli may be less portion but the flavor is great with lots of garlic. Catfish clay pot sauce is perfectly to cover the catfish mud flavor. Salt pepper tofu has a perfect texture. Rice cake eggs are good too!

    Been awhile since I came here. I saw Sinh Sinh was open for thanksgiving and I was tired of turkey. Didn't wanna eat turkey twice. Didn't wanna drive to china town so I called around and found that HA's was open. Pretty good general Taos Really nice owners! I got the beef chunks with fried rice. Came with salad too. Also I got one Vietnamese egg roll. All of them were really good! You also get a free thai tea for checking in along with 7% cash back. HA's kitchen is a good spot! I was hit with an extreme smell when I entered lol. Maybe it was fish sauce. Not sure. But good god, It was pungent. Prices are very reasonable. Give them a shot. I really enjoyed the beef and fried rice. Ask for some soy sauce and Siracha for he fried rice. It was kind of dry but good. Good job Ha! They have a really big menu so I look forward to trying more things off their menu. Also the Vietna egg roll was like the ones I used to get from Mai's years ago!

    I love this place! They treat you like family. I am wowed by their vast menu and huge mouth watering portions! I dine here once or twice a week. I always bring my friends here, as well. I enjoy everything on their menu. You won't be disappointed.

    I have not been here since about 5 months ago and I wanted to update the review and make amends. Service started going south the last few times I was here and my son finding a string in his Pho' made it the Tapioca Straw that broke the camel's back. Forward to 2/11/12, Something seems different, oh! They made a really nice table arrangement where the stage is on your right where the LCD TV's were stolen at the break in last year. Yea, that's all on that, I was more worried about the taste of the food going down hill and hoping they have fixed things a little. My brother and his family finally arrived so we sat and ordered, may I add it was a little cold in there? It's ok though, tolerable 65 degree climate inside, I like cold anyways. Menu: As another reviewer wrote "It's like reading a Harry Potter 7 book", she was pretty much in accordance of what I had to say about it, is this a complaint? In no way it is, lots of variety of dishes for EVERYBODY, even the tofu lover in you (ok, me). My brother ordered for me and what big thing that wow'ed me this time was the Fried Rice Cake. I hold Tan Tan as the king of this appetizer because many of attempted and just about all have failed to surpass this until N O W. The rice squares are fried a little longer than Tan Tan's and have that micro crunch that you would usually find in a pizza crust but they got it right on. The sauce that comes on the side of it even surpassed the champion. They did/do not use as much rice vinegar as Tan Tan's but whatever other ingredient they varied boosted it's "I want" factor in me. Now I do not have to drive all the way to Bellaire or Westheimer to get this, drawback? It's $6.49, the Tan Tan's price on Westheimer is $5.99 and Tan Tan's Bellaire location charges $4.99. Fish in a clay pot: Dark, rich sauce with the cat fish not smelling fishy, so to speak. It came to the table bubbling with a container of white rice. Very delicious and the perfection that they put into the sauce makes you want that sauce in almost all of the dishes that you order. Bird's Nest Combination: I do not know how to spell it right but it's on the parallel of "Mi Xao Don". The sauce was comparably good as the fish in a clay pot sauce. Even though mostly different, it also was a dark color and the chicken, shrimp, squid, snow peas, carrots, broccoli all came on top of the deep fried yellow noodled nest that can be eye measured to about 6 inches. Crabmeat and Asparagus Soup: aka "Sup Mang Cua'", just right taste as well. I have had it here before and clearly do not remember it tasting this good like this time. It had a defined crab flavor but did not have that "sea stinky" scent that some places happened to induct in their cooking failure. Service: Very attentative. I never once had to look around for water, the Iced Tea's were always filled, extra napkins were placed in front/middle of us instead of asking and the food came out piping hot. I expected service to drop off a little since there was a loud table of about 25 people in the corner but they stifled any concerns and worries that I had. Cleanliness: There was not one thing encountered on the floor that would suspect that there were people eating in the restaurant earlier. It was about 2:00 pm on a Sunday so they did not just open. Place can get loud though because the cold hard ceramic floors also bounce any sounds off of the tall ceiling, but that can be over looked. Total bill for 3 adults, 2 kids and a baby $55, reasonable! Ha, you have redeemed yourself, I'm sorry for the 5 month haitus from your place but it only took a little time to gain my confidence and time for you folks to pan things out and you sure did it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

    Egg rolls
    PopeyeDaSailaman ..

    Real good food and the eggrolls are exelent too bad is a little far from the house Will come back for sure Waiter very nice and its big enough to come with a lot of people

    Negative star for this restaurant. we ordered this bo la lot for a Christmas party and all of this meat tasted burnt, meat tasted old and so disgusting that no one could even eat it. Tell me this don't look like dog ****. We brought the tray back to have a refund but the old lady there was trying to argue with me that we could have brought it back right away so she could resell it. Wtf!

    Tofu bun, with bean sprouts from pho added.
    Elle C.

    The short: Even in spite of the sometimes spotty waitservice, this place is PHENOMENAL. The long: We happened upon this place looking for a groupon nearby for Vietnamese food. This place did NOT disappoint! I've literally eaten dine in or to go from here 5x in the 8d since we discovered it. On our first visit, we ordered: 1 order tofu spring rolls, 1 tofu bun (vermicelli bowl), 1 pho ga (chicken), and then, because they were SO good, another order of tofu spring rolls to go! What really sets this restaurant's food apart, in my opinion, is their use, above and beyond, of aromatics, combined with delicious little frizzled onions (in both the spring rolls and bun), and extra veggies (carrots, snow peas, baby corn, etc.) in the tofu bun (something I ALWAYS long for in tofu dishes!). I suspect the tofu is a lemongrass marinated or flavored situation, and it is absolutely delectable. Even those anti-tofu folks among us would have their mouths watering for this stuff! Alternately, my husband has ordered the pho ga each time and can't stop raving about the aromatic quality to the broth, which supersedes all the local options we've partaken in. I tasted the broth and must agree: it's very, very good. In surveying the menu, there are more than enough options for vegetarians and vegans alike, which is ALWAYS appreciated. I don't know, however, if their tofu pho actually has veggie broth. Even if it doesn't, there are loads of other options for us on this expansive menu. For Chinese food fans, you'll also find many offerings from your standard Americanized Chinese menu, along with hot pot AND make your own spring roll options, too! If you get the opportunity to stop by here, you really ought to. Just be prepared to have to flag down the waitstaff if they get busy. But trust me, it's worth the hassle.

    Service was good. Ambience was nice . We were the only people in the restaurant. Food was a hit and miss here. The black pepper beef was fantastic. The soup, chicken with vegetables was very good too. The Kung Pao chicken was under cooked, pinkisk inside. The texture was completely off. We even told them it was undercooked. They took it and apparently cooked it again and it was over cooked with thready texture. It was just bad. Don't order the chicken here. We had a Groupon, no problems paying with it. Most probably not returning. We will go to Chinatown for better food.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

    Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this.

Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together.

Not your usual Vietnamese pho spot, amazing small dishes…read more Must get the banh beo chen - I recommend at least 8 per person and doctoring it up with the fish sauce and jalapeño. My favorite appetizers (in order): Banh beo chen, Banh ram it, banh bot loc, egg rolls, crystal dumplings. Personally I wasn't a fan of the paste-y texture of the banh nam but that is a personal preference! Service is not the most hospitable but very quick. We were reseated after spotting a cockroach under our table. But even so I would come back to have this amazing food any day.

    This is such an underrated Vietnamese spot!!! I found it online and decided to try it out. And it…read moredid not disappoint. Very surprised with the options and the menu. The service was good, the ambience is super casual but the menu was phenomenal. They had artichoke and salmon pho! I clearly love a good pho and I was all for it! I got the artichoke pho with chicken and it was a 10/10!!! I wish this spot was in Atlanta where I live. I would most definitely be a regular. The fried rice and green beans chicken was awesome too. It was a 10/10 full flavor bomb. recommend.

    It has been a while since we have been back. Came here for Sunday brunch. Place has been…read morerenovated since we were there. There is a mural of Vietnamese landscape and an aquarium of arwanas. We started with mango salad with grilled pork and papaya salad with shrimp. Both dishes came with sweet and sour dressing. Mango was sweet and grilled pork was yummy. Papaya salad was fresh and a bit more subtle. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls. The old Saigon rolls came with mango and pork. Always liked mangoes. The other was regular fresh spring rolls with shrimp. The rolls came out last after when we got our Pho. Would have enjoyed it more if it came after the salads. I ordered the combination Pho with all the ingredients (brisket, eye round, tendon, meatball and tripe)a. There is only one size. There was a lot of noodles for the size of the bowl. They were generous with the meat. Wish they would have more soup. The soup itself was ok. Thought it was a little bland compared to others. Service was quick. It didn't take long to receive our order. They offer reusable wooden chopsticks. Will plan to try the other dishes other than Pho like rice plates next time.

It comes in a set of 2 but we got a 3 pack! I ordered the grilled branzino and let me tell you! That chimichurri sauce !! Clutch! It is demonetisation and truly grilled to perfection. My friends ordered the filet mignon and the chicken and they were equally as impressed! I ordered the espresso mousse for dessert which comes out in the shape of a coffee bean. Cuteeee and perfect! This place didn't disappoint and it is a must visit.

    Superb service. They were extremely attentive and polite. Food came out in a timely manner, the…read morechecked up regularly and water was constantly refilled. This is a higher end fine dining restaurant so you should expect the portion sizes and price to be pretty comparable to a lot of other finer dining restaurants. Overall the food's flavor was fantastic. I ordered the king salmon clay pot. I thought the salmon was so tasty! They added pepper and sauce to the salmon - It was tender and flavorful and paired nicely with white rice. The quail (not pictured below) also was super flavorful and was cooked so well it tasted like beef. The soup was also light and refreshing, similar to a west lake soup. It was thicker consistency and had cilantro and chucks of lobster. The drinks served were also super balanced. We ordered the mojito and the dragon fruit cocktail. The mojito was the right balance between minty and sweet with just a hint of alcohol flavor. For the dragon fruit cocktail, it was very fruity, on the sweeter side but not overpowering and was topped with egg whites to give it a little bit of frothiness. I will say, we are slightly underdressed to enter this establishment. Everything seemed so luxurious and many people were in formal business wear! Keep this in mind if you go! There is a parking deck right next to the location as well, both self parking and valet!
