Now we have this in the woodlands neighborhood, we're going to have it more often. I also ordered the soup dumplings & beef scallion dumplings, both were good. These type of food are very subjective due to so many ways to flavor it. But if you have a craving, it should hit the spot! Good food overall, give it a try! I'm glad I did!

I was pretty hungry and thought I'd come here since I never been. My eyes were much bigger than my…read morestomach. For starters, the wonton soup was under the appetizer section, so I was expecting something semi-small... no this was huge!! Came in a big arse bowl! On top of that, the broth for it was actually really good! Probably the best I've had! I put the bowl aside and hoped they wouldn't come take it. (The didn't) otherwise I would have asked for the remaining broth in a cup to sip on while I eat. I ordered the pork "soup bao" and the colorful one. I also ordered vegetable noodles (overkill). I ate the most important ones, all the baos, and dumplings and soup. I was too full to eat much of the noodles. I got them to-go. I also ordered hot green tea and it was all so tasty! I highly recommend this place! I ate the noodles the next day, cold and they were still very good! I'll definitely be back, and with more people than myself!

Came here with my coworkers. I've been here several times, but I haven't been here in over 2 years…read moreso I was nervous that it'd be drastically different because I loved this place. They did change the menu a bit, but it had what I exactly wanted. We ordered the Szechuan Mala Spicy Rice Noodle Bowl w/ Beef Slices, Popcorn Chicken, Shrimp Tempura, and Xiao Long Bao. The noodle bowl is the best. Tons of flavor and ingredients with the vermicelli noodles are just amazing. The popcorn chicken is delicious, nothing special. The shrimp tempura is delicious and has an amazing crunch. The Xiao Long Bao is more of a soup dumpling dim sum style. It was pretty delicious, but it didn't taste really fresh like you'd get from an actual dim sum restaurant. The staff are friendly and fast. Lots of tables to dine at. Parking lot is a bit small, but you can park on the other side of the buildings where there are more parking.

Its not a dry pot like the staff told me, but its stew soup is very umami to soak the rice in. It is still a hearty dish to eat. The pot is filled with beef, tripes, stomach, tendon, and veggies have carrots, daikon, and potatoes. Portion is very generous for the price, it was only $20. Service was fast, you order at the counter first then take your number and sit anywhere. The man was very patient explaining to me the menu, he recommended me the beef noodle and cold dishes, I know I have to come back again to try them. Also the restaurant offers free hot tea and rice too. The dining area may not be ideal for big party but still a cozy restaurant to get some hot warming soup on any cold days.

The price is great and the food came out fast. You can also change the type of noodles to glass noodles. The beef was very tender. I also got the beef baked flat bread and it was soooo good. I actually want to go back for it. I enjoyed the bits of onion. The beef was very juicy. Beef Noodle Soup reminds me of Bún Bò Huế, but with less flavor. It's still hearty, but I guess it's what you wanna go for. More seasoning or less seasoning? just depends on the days.

They are located in the Stesti Food Hall and Beer Garden! The parking lot is small but free. There was plenty of parking when we arrived but the spaces are petite, ideal for compact cars and not larger vehicles such as trucks or SUVs. It's a bit of a tight squeeze either way. If you're unable to find lot parking, they have paid parking and free street parking along the neighboring street from what I observed. All of the staff throughout the hall will greet you as you walk past each of the perspective restaurants and bars on the inside. You will eventually make your way to Hup Noodle Bar! Such an earthy, vintage design with the decor. Plenty of areas to sit both inside and outside! Chef Cuong will greet you right away. His bright bubbly face with a huge smile will have you wanting to ask him all sorts of questions about his restaurant. He originally started with crepes and various French inspired desserts but had a passion for Vietnamese dishes!! His pride and joy are his chicken curry, number 1 and pho broth at number 2. Those two tend to sell out each day during the lunch rush! I got lucky because today was a bit slow as it was Valentine's Day! We ordered both along with their shrimp egg rolls! Pho with beef: Delicious and unbelievably comforting on a cold day like today! The basil leaves made it very aromatic! I could taste the star anise, cinnamon and ginger in this broth! It was slow cooked so as soon as the waitress sat it down, you got a huge whiff of all of the spices!! You took your first sip and it was so warm and tasty that, before you knew it, you were downing the entire bowl! Portion size is enough for 2. Curry with chicken: fragrant curry soup with bone in chicken! Lots and lots of coconut milk, ginger, red curry paste, a little lime, basil, cilantro, chile oil made for a very flavorful curry!! Loved the addition of the carrots and potatoes to add a bit of complexity in texture as you're taking a bite and sipping the soup!! Pro tip: Mixing the lime juice into the cup of salt and pepper levels up your dipping game when you go to dip the chicken in it! Use the bread to soak up the leftover soup if your goal is to leave no crumbs or leftovers!

Another awesome Vietnamese cuisine experience from Chef Cường!…read more I've been mean to write this review since I went to the soft opening and have been back several times. Húp Noodle Bar is the second restaurant in Stesti Food Hall opened by Chef Cường, right next to his first restaurant Xèo Yum. This is a relaxed, open concept dining experience. You can pull up a stool at the bar or you can take a seat at one of the many tables in the food hall for more a more intimate setting. The food is amazing! The first time, I tried the King Kong Bowl and let me tell you this bowl would satisfy any monster appetite out there from King Kong to Godzilla! The broth tastes excellent. The meat is tender, flavorful and filling. Where else can you find high quality ribeye, prime brisket, meatball and beef short rib in one bowl. You can add filet mignon as well. The noodles are top notch and are some of the best I've had. If you've been to Xèo Yum, you can expect the same high quality food , excellent presentation and amazing service. If you've never been here before, trust me, you will not be disappointed!

The meal came with complimentary crackers, a pickle spear, and a cookie. Every single item was delectable. Side note: if you're wanting a filling but calorie conscious meal, this was perfect.

They still have a fair-priced lunch buffet every day, the…read moreservice is not bad, and some of the items in the buffet (veg Manchurian, naan, kheer, butter chicken (just the gravy, not the chicken itself) tasted good. Now, coming to the bad, the quality and flavor of the food have drastically gone down the hill (rather, a cliff). My first visit to this establishment was in February 2025, and in just 10 months, it feels like a totally different restaurant. The biryani was atrocious, to say the least. The rice was undercooked, the flavor was non-existent, and I needed to go through the entire tray of biryani just to find one piece of meat. Of the 3 chicken dishes, the chicken tasted not-so-fresh in one dish (tandoori chicken), bland in another dish (chicken vindaloo), and hard as a hockey puck in another dish (butter chicken). The tandoori chicken did not taste exactly like tandoori chicken, but seemed like a different recipe. However, it did not taste bad (except the questionable freshness of the chicken). The butter chicken was delicious, except the hockey-puck chicken. The vegetarian items were superior to the non-vegetarian ones. Overall, this buffet experience was as bad as, if not worse than Taz's buffet. I definitely will not be returning. Only Monk's and Aroma remain as good South Asian restaurants in the BCS area.
