Dependable spring rolls (customizable if you don't want the pork) with peanut sauce; awesome shakin chicken Bahn Mi (flip the menu over), may be the best in town?!?? Or maybe it's my fond memories of their first location on W 18th; surprise of this new location, complete with pickle ball court, outside covered porch, gorgeous March cold snap, amazing playlist and beers on tap! Note the Bahn Mi (did I spell it correctly?) is toasted, not fried with butter or grease on the grill Service is fast and on it! n.b. this is probably my first 5 * review in 12 months read more

Ordered to-go for pick up online ahead of time. Got the Turmeric Fish and Chips for my order and you can deff taste the turmeric. Fish was crispy and they used swaii fish and came with a creamy dipping sauce. Fries probably would've been crispy if we ate it there, but overall okay. They have a line dedicated for to-go/pick up orders and they have a camera where they can see if someone pulls up to bring the food directly to your car. I also noticed they had 2 pickleball courts which is pretty unique! Parking - within their own lot read more

FYI: This location is the old Duchos Steakhouse for those who knew this place. The food here is amazing! We went with as a party of 7 for lunch and didn't have any issues getting a table. It was a nice day so we sat outside. Many in our party had bees to this location but I was a first timer. We had a sampling of everything- egg rolls, crispy dumplings, calamari, fried rice and more. The outdoor covered patios (and pickleball courts) are a nice touch. Our waitress Alexa provided excellent service and recommendations. We'll be back! read more

Hello new restaurant in the neighborhood. Newly built, but legacy restaurant moved from their Main location to a brand new building. Staple foods from the original location on 18th St. and fine beer selection to choose from. The food and service are great in the area is building out to have Pickleball courts and also some play area for the little ones. Plenty of parking an indoor and outdoor seating. This place is great for a lunch meal or dinner with the family. There is also plenty of space for large groups. read more

I recently visited Hughie's...and it turned out to be a great hidden gem...It's a nice little Vietnamese restaurant that you might miss if you're just driving by since it's not right off the main road...but it's definitely worth finding...the inside is a good size...very clean...and has a relaxed...welcoming vibe. The staff was extremely attentive...never had to worry about drink refills because they stayed on top of everything...I ordered tofu with white rice...and it was surprisingly flavorful...my wife had the pork sandwich and really enjoyed it. One of the coolest parts about this spot is the pickleball area they have nearby...a fun bonus you don't see often with a restaurant...overall...Hughie's is a great place to grab a tasty meal and unwind...we'll definitely be back. read more

My friend Tri D. and I stopped in for dinner after searching for restaurants on Yelp. I hadn't eaten at Hughie's before this visit. We were greeted immediately and seated at a booth. Beth was our server and she was extremely friendly and very informative when we had questions about the menu. One thing I really appreciated is that she brought over HRW menus (they were offering dinner for $39). Some places will not bring out an HRW menu unless you specifically request it. We weren't planning to do the HRW offering, but I was happy to see that we had the option without having to ask. I ordered the Kale Salad with Salmon. This salad was so good! It's probably one of the better salads I've had in quite some time. The salmon was cooked medium and it was seasoned well. I really enjoyed the raspberry vinaigrette dressing as it gave a nice sweetness to the salad. The different ingredients provided a nice texture contrast which I thoroughly enjoyed. Tri had wanted to order pho when he saw the hoisin and Sriracha sauces on the table, however Beth informed us that pho is only served from October to February (it was September when we visited). He ended up ordering the Shaking Beef Fried Rice. I tried a small piece of the beef and it was tender and very flavorful. He also ordered a Thai Tea which he liked (if you know Tri, you know he has a high standard for tea). I didn't have anything to drink besides water, but I noticed that they have an extensive beer menu. If you're not in the mood for beer, they do offer wine. They also offer daily specials (except for Sundays) and they currently have a special on Fridays for Lent. Both locations are a bit of a drive for me, but with excellent food and excellent service, it's worth it! read more

The only thing better than their delicious food is eating it in blissful silence while your children play 20 ft away in the grassy play area--WHAT!! Yes you heard that right-- A DREAM come true.

Heard they opened up a new location nearby, so decided to give it chance! We can during a lent Friday', evening and they actually have a lent menu! We came around 730, and the place was fairly packed, but was quickly seated within minutes. The service was excellent, they were very tentative to our drinks and very knowledgeable on our dishes. We ordered off the lent menu and everything was excellent. We had the tumeric fish and chips, and shrimp fried rice. They don't skimp on the shrimp Thats for sure. They were huge and juicy! Everything wss flavorful and largely portioned. We sat outside in the patio, cause the weather was perfect, also equipped with fans and heaters if needed. read more

Great spot. Food is outstanding. Wings, Fried rice, egg rolls, banh mi are all perfectly done. The baguettes for the banh mi are awesome. Great beer selection too. We would always go to the location on Main Street (the one in the heights is just as good, just small and difficult to get into). This new location is huge. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating. read more

I love Hughie's. Having known about the place for years, I finally decided to make a visit one day. What I really like about this Vietnamese spot is the fact it reminds me of old restaurants which are no longer around. At this point, there's a fairly long list of these places which only exist in memories. But just in terms of the high quality of everything I purchased, Hughie's is a solid 5-star establishment. The sautéed beef banh mi is probably my favorite beef banh mi at this point. The meat was tender, the baguette upper echelon, and they were generous with veggies (cucumber, carrot, cilantro and jalapeños). The spring rolls were also really good (shrimp/pork), and I really liked the peanut sauce. Next time, I'd like to try one of the shaking dishes or perhaps a tofu banh mi. The service at the counter was great. Highly recommended! read more

Tavern and Vietnamese Grille. Friend was in the neighborhood and we settled on lunch and found Hughies. It was a dreary slightly rainy and cold Saturday afternoon. Parking - lots of businesses (gym, jujitsu, nails, dessert, insurance and Hughies) so spots are premium. We had to wait for someone to leave (8-10 min) Inside, full bar with both table and booth seating. Scan the QR code and the menu pops up. They were promoting Pho Saturdays so it was perfect. Ordered: filet mignon pho, combo brisket and meatball pho, order of cha gios (viet fried spring rolls) Pho (3/5) - pros - good portion of noodles and meat, cons - soup was lukewarm not piping hot as most places and the broth was not hearty enough for me - did not have a deep rich meat broth taste. Cha gio (3/ 5) - 4 to an order, nice size - taste was standard, sauce was better than most places, came with 2 pieces of lettuce and pickled daikon and carrots Overall, it was a nice lunch and the place was a good mix of tavern and restaurant. They play some music but it was not too loud. Staff was nice. Probably would not do weekend during lunch, maybe during off hours or a weekends. Interested in trying their com tam and bun options and maybe a banh mi. read more

My boyfriend has told me to try this place last night. I had to process my experience for 24 hours before writing this review. I ended up getting a few menu items to try. I ordered 2 Pork Sandwiches (1 without Cucumbers), Crispy Dumplings, and a Kids Grilled Cheese Sandwich with fries. The Pork Sandwiches was really good, the pork was thin and seasoned well. The bread was toasted with a thin layer of mayo. The veggies was fresh and crisp. The dumplings was probably in my top 3 favorite dumplings of all time. It was so good, I was close to going back and getting more, the sauce that came with it compliments the dumplings so well. My son really liked his grilled cheese and fries. I also had fries with my pork sandwich and it was really good, crispy and seasoned well. The service was amazing. 2 young men greeted me fairly quickly and got my order ready to go. The restaurant was busy, not too packed on a Monday. I will come back soon. read more

The service was great I was greeted at the door to get seated but sadly I was just doing a quick to go order so I'll try the sit down option later. I ordered a bahn mi and a Vietnamese coffee which both were delicious and came out quick and the staff was super nice I wish I had spent more time there to try more of the food options but I guess I need to come back. read more

Damn yall! I wasn't thrilled when I saw the Main st location was closing, but knew they'd been working on a new spot and have been excited to check it out. They knocked it outta the park too. Parking was never great when it was busy, but the new lot is HUGE, the patio is massive. Inside looks exactly the way the old Hughie's did, but some how new and improved. Maybe it's the new bar. Definite upgrade from Main. Staff are all familiar faces. And they were all there Saturday. Nice seeing them all make the move to the new spot. Food is same as always, and they now serve cocktails! My only gripe, this location is about twice the distance Main at was from mi casa, so both locations are now a 11 mi drive, but that's not your problem. :) read more

We used to go to the Hughie's off of Main Street but they've closed that location and this is the newest one. We had tried the one off of 18th for Eat Drink HTX week and thought this one was worth a try. It's off the main road and there's a huge sign so you know where to turn because it isn't at a light. We came during lunch on a Friday and here's the situation. 1) Parking: Spacious parking lot with a drive thru type situation going on to the side of it. Had no trouble finding a parking space. It also appears to have street parking should the lot get full. 2) Building: Huge and lots of seating and very open. There's an outdoor patio they were working on for lights and what not but it looks like it is either open when not being worked on or will be very soon. 3) Food: I came for the Friday gumbo special. The menu said it had crab, crawfish, fish, and shrimp. Crab was there but not a lot. Lots of good tender fish pieces. Shrimp were sliced in half which was weird to me. I had two pieces of crawfish. My husband enjoyed it and I've included a picture of it. The bowl is HUGE. I should have gotten the cup. I had enough to bring home. I did not love it but it was still good. I like my thinner with a darker roux so it's really whatever you prefer. We also got the fried dumplings kids meal and my son enjoyed that and ate all of it. My husband got the spicy shaking beef fried rice. Hughie's has this on lock down. The beef is always tender and the rice is tasty. I really need to get on board and try their non Asian/Vietnamese food the next go around. 4) Service was fast and table clean up was expedient. Water was always filled. There was a guy working really hard to refill water and bus tables. I was impressed. Waitress was nice and even put our to go order in to time it so it wouldn't be cold when we left. The 18th street location is closer for us but because this place has a patio and better parking, we would probably choose this one. read more

Hughie's - Outside - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my first time here, but this spot is well known and has been here a while. I think it's unique for offering Vietnamese and American food in a very casual setting. Service was friendly, for some reason on the particular day we came (Friday around 5pm),a ton of families with small children were there so it's family friendly if that's something you're worried about. The braised pork belly was ok, a little drier than I expected. Both fried baskets were got were solid, I like the batter they use and the fries were perfectly crispy. You can't really taste much tumeric on the fish and chips though, but it was still good. read more

I've had the pleasure of dining at Hughie's multiple times over a few years, and each visit has left me craving more! This hidden gem in Houston serves great food. The Banh Mi sandwiches are a must-try - crispy baguettes filled with tender meats, pickled carrots, cilantro, and spicy chili sauce. I personally order the lemongrass beef and it always hits the spot. The Vermicelli Bowl is another standout dish. The noodles are good and it's topped with generous portions of grilled meat (I opt for the beef), lettuce, carrots and a fish sauce. The combination of flavors and textures is pure magic. What sets Hughie's apart is the welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and great selection of craft beer, which is also displayed on untappd. Moreover, it's a great place to watch sports since they have TVs + craft beer + great food. *Will I return?* Absolutely! Hughie's has become my go-to spot for Vietnamese cuisine in Houston. Unfortunately, I don't live in Houston anymore but it's always my first stop when I arrive. Peace read more

A casual Vietnamese American restaurant with a wide variety of fusion food including vegetarian options. Formerly Queen Burger, they have renovated themselves since long and call themselves a unique hybrid of classic Vietnamese with an American twist. The interiors is actually more American than what you would normally associate with an Vietnamese restaurant. I remember we had a huge group so this fit into our interest- both budget and variety wise, very well. Got the crispy dumplings and the tofu spring roll for starters. The dumplings were especially good, crispy outside, soft inside, dipped in that tobacco sauce, was really yummy, but so were the spring rolls, on a more mellow side though, soft, spongy with a side of that classic peanut sauce. For main course it was just the Banh Mi with egg on the side, a request they accommodated. The bread was fresh and soft, like just off the oven so the sandwich taste was really enhanced. Very nice. What was especially great was the Vietnamese tiramisu. Priced at about $8, it really hit the tastebuds with the Khalua. I would not suggest it for kids, but it is definitely worth an indulgence for an adult. Service was considerably fast which was appreciated. read more

This is the first time I came here with friends who love Hughie's. I think they moved from their old location to this one. This was pretty big and spacious. If you love Asian Vietnamese fusion then try them. We went in and just picked a table and you can sit where you like.. they have a huge outdoor space as well. The ambiance is warm and good music. We ordered a couple of starters and drinks. If you like beers they have so many choices. I gave them 5 stars as their fish and chips were really good. So far the best one I have tried in years. read more

Assortment of beers on tap, limited mixed cocktails I got the shaken beef fried rice, to me the meat was a little on the dry side, friends got Wings that were tasty. They have daily specials, but they are only available on specific days It was really hot inside, I had to go change out of my work clothes into shorts and a t-shirt, but they noticed and turned down the AC and it was much better.

Hughie's - Pork vermicelli and my sweet dog. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really wanted to enjoy my experience here, but I was disappointed by the lack of awareness around dietary restrictions. I asked whether the vermicelli noodles were gluten-free and clarified that I meant whether they were made only of rice or if they contained any wheat. The server stared at me blankly and didn't offer to check with the kitchen. As someone with a medical reason for avoiding gluten, I always try to ask respectfully and clearly. It's frustrating (and honestly a little concerning) when restaurant staff can't answer basic questions about ingredients or aren't trained to follow up with the kitchen or a manager. I hope the team will consider improving communication around allergens and special diets. It really makes a difference. read more

My friend Tiffany J. and I were in the area and this spot popped up and their reviews were solid so we decided to give it a try. Walking in we felt the warm welcome from the staff especially our server. She went over the menu with us & since there was Hoisin and Sriracha sauce on the table I assumed that they had Pho. I wanted Pho, Unfortunately it's seasonal so they only serve it from October to February, which is understandable because Pho is suited for cold weather. I would take the Hoisin sauce off the table during off season because I can't think of anything on their menu that requires that sauce. Also, that way customers won't be disappointed when they're informed that they don't have Pho during March-September. The menu is pretty self explanatory, it's a twist of American and Vietnamese dishes, so there's something for everyone. I decided to ordered their Thai tea as my drink & Shaking beef fried rice and my friend got the grilled salmon with Kale salad. My Thai tea was refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. I could've ordered two more to go. The shaking beef was very good, the beef cubes were marinated to perfection bursting with flavors. The rice was soft and fluffy & the caramelized onions added some texture to the dish. I would've like the beef cubes to be more rare but it was still tendered. I will say that the portion is a little smaller for the price tag but I was still full. My friend kale salad with salmon was solid, the fish was moist (maybe 2 mins less on the grill and it would've been perfection for me). Everything that was in the salad along with the sauce went well together. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. The service was great, the ambiance is chill and inviting & the food was good. They do have a daily special which you can find on their website. On Thursday it's half price for all the wines. Will I come back? Yep, came back for the 2nd time for a to go order & ordered the same shaking beef with fried rice & got the same results. read more

Hughie's is a fusion country Vietnamese style restaurant. We opted to try the country fried steak and grilled salmon. Both dishes came with mashed potatoes and a salad. I enjoyed everything, but the dishes do have a strong fish sauce taste to them so if you're not used to it, you might not like the taste. The country fried steak was crispy and tender, and I liked that the mashed potatoes had some potato chunks in them. The salad was a bit sour and had the most fish sauce taste out of everything; I liked how it broke up the heaviness of the rest of the dish and how it had a variety of textures with the pecans, onions, and kale, but I think they could go a little lighter with the dressing. The salmon needed some sauce/seasoning but was nice and flaky. The dumplings were good but nothing special. For dessert, we got the caramel pecan cheesecake and Vietnamese coffee tiramisu. Both were okay, tasted average. Service was fine. There's indoor and covered outdoor seating. The parking lot is a little small, but we managed to find a spot. read more

Hughie's has long been on my bucket list of places to try. Affordable Vietnamese food with beer on tap sounds like a fun combination! While I originally was set on some Vietnamese fare for lunch, I happen to see that they served chicken fried steak, which happens to be one of my favorites when done right. Unfortunately most places fail at serving a delicious chicken fried steak, but I had a good feeling given the high ratings for the establishment. Well my feeling was right! This was an amazing chicken fried steak! The seasoned batter clung to the meat, the pepper cream gravy was the right consistency, and the steak was tender! Simply delish! I did have to ask for more gravy, but that was easily rectified. The mashed potatoes it came with could have used a bit more butter and cream, but they were okay. The kale salad was the perfect way to balance the usually rich heavy meal, and it was much appreciated! I didn't partake in beer this time, but they seem to offer a good variety. Definitely plan on returning for that delicious chicken fried steak and perhaps one of their Vietnamese dishes. read more

Hughie's - Chicken Fried Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant which draws young and old and families. Their parking is on both sides of the restaurant, but note the left side is more roomy. Their patio is semi-secluded, and I believe fans and mist devices help cool it. At 4 pm on the weekend, it is just starting to fill, and by 6 pm it is pretty full, with just 1-2 inside tables available (meals arrive quickly, so tables turn quickly). It can be noisy when packed. read more

Hughie's - The extensive draft beer selections are on the wall. Many meals offer Kale which is really delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

My family and I had a pretty good dinner here. Upon walking in, it was a bit loud due to the dinner crowd. Because of this, service was on the slower side but was definitely more attentive after some of the tables cleared out. I tried their Houston Restaurant Week menu. I got the Vietnamese mango salad, the cognac peppercorn steak, and the pandan creme brulee. The mango salad was pretty good, and I liked the freshness of the mango. Regarding the steak, I wish it could've been cooked to my liking since it came out well done. The mashed potatoes, however, were very creamy. Lastly, the pandan creme brulee was a delight. It had a solid sugar crust and had a nice pandan/coconut flavor. Other items I tried were my dad's shaking beef, my brother's Vietnamese ceviche, seafood crispy noodles, and Vietnamese coffee tiramisu. The shaking beef had a nice lemongrass flavor, the ceviche was ok, the noodles were very crispy and were tasty when paired with their chili oil, and the tiramisu had a wonderful coffee flavor. They also offer a lot of various beers on tap if that's your thing. And because it's not, this is probably why I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way and make a second visit. read more

1st time trying out this location having been to the one off 18th street. Good casual Vietnamese-American fusion with a great concept of draft beers, food, and TVs making it a sports-bar feel with a more pleasant ambience. Menu had alot of the classic Vietnamese cuisine options like the Spring Rolls, Banh Mi, Vermicelli bowls and Rice Plates.. I wanted to try the Kale salad but unfortunately they don't allow customization as it was pre-mixed (can't do feta). Got to try the Vermicelli bowl with an added egg roll, portions were ok. good mix of flavors, a bit overpriced for what it was but understandable. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and service was responsive. Restaurant also features indoor/outdoor patio seating. overall a solid casual fusion place we see alot more now these days.
