    Great service & delicious food! This little hidden gem is a MUST TRY! Went with my son for a little date night of appetizers & dessert and Le Emperor did not disappoint! Went has the dumpling & grandma's egg rolls both were super yumm! My son got the chocolate and he loved it, I thought it was okay. They give you a crème brûlée spoon when you are done with your meal & it was such a nice treat! Can't wait to go back again!

    From start the finish, I was taken in a journey. Stepping into this restaurant, the decor made you feel like you were in another part of the world. The service was impeccable and on point. The food had my taste buds dancing and me smiling all throughout the meal. I did not even take a picture of the appetizers- shrimp spring rolls, blue crab spring rolls, and tofu spring rolls. Do not pass on this gem. The level at which they deliver freshness, flavor, and a well presentation is purely divine. I will be back again and again.

    You always hear "If you want great food, you have to go into the city." Finally, there's an exception. This place delivers on food, ambiance, and service--all without the usual compromises. Appetizers We started with the egg rolls and artichokes, and both were standouts. The egg rolls are Northern Vietnamese-style, served warm with lettuce wraps--fresh, balanced, and absolutely addictive. The artichokes were the star of the meal. Tart, herbaceous, crunchy, and perfectly executed. Every bite fired on all cylinders. Mains We ordered the lemongrass shrimp and the whole fried snapper. Portions were spot-on. The snapper was expertly prepared, with the fillets already removed and served alongside an arugula salad and rice. Clean, thoughtful plating. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked, served with sticky rice and a coconut cream sauce that added just the right touch of sweetness. Truly outstanding. Service This is where everything came together. Lucas was a top-notch server--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. He offered thoughtful recommendations and shared a brief history of the family behind the restaurant. Food arrived promptly and hot, exactly as it should. By the end of the meal, it was hard to tell who was more grateful--us or them. Final Thoughts If, like me, you long for fresh, well-executed food from a non-chain restaurant that isn't designed to over-serve you into submission, this is the place. Support your local community and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Upscale Vietnamese? Why not? Le Emperor fits the bill with a stylish dining room and a menu that might be fine dining in Saigon. Presentation counts here and everything ordered was picturesque. We started with Grandma's egg rolls. Elegantly plated and sliced to make eating easier, these were filled with seafood and pork. Grandma knows a thing or two about cooking. Shrimp dumplings were perfectly pursed and bursting with flavor and the president's Hanoi vermicelli was fit for a king (don't tell Trump). With well seasoned beef, amazing meatballs and grandma's eggrolls accompanying the vermicelli, this is indulgence. Declining dessert (who had room?), leads to a complimentary spoon of creme brûlée and wish that you had more room. Service is attentive and thoughtful. Definitely an experience worth repeating.

    Beef Stew

    I went there for lunch last week. I had a taste for Vietnamese Beef Stew, and not many place have it. Le Emperor supposedly had it, so I stopped by. This place turned out to be a very high end Vietnamese restaurant. Long story short, the food and service were great and the prices were reasonable. They also had a lunch menu, although their Beef Stew wasn't one of the offerings. As shown in the photo, the Beef Stew was served in a crock with a fresh roll. Upon finishing my meal, the server brought a spoon on a small dessert plate. The spoon had something in it covered with a shiny brown glaze. I asked her what it was, but couldn't understand her answer, so I tasted it. It was Crème Brûlée and it was delicious!

    Banana Flambé

    I found this place through google and was definitely not disappointed. Upon arrival they were very tentative to us and the ambiance was very cozy . They offered a variety of different drinks from wines to mocktails . We started off with The coconut shrimp which were phenomenal 10/10. after that for our entrees we got two Le emperor Pho which were large and very flavorful they poured the broth on our noodles table side. Quan was an amazing waiter and brought the dessert menu out to us and answered any questions we had. For our dessert we got the Banana flambé which was amazing and a nice little show with the fire. Once we were done Quan brought us out the crème brûlée on the house ! He definitely made a great first impression for us and treated us amazing. The menu was well priced ...We will be back !

    Spring roll & soft shell crab

    I'm back again. I can't say enough amazing things about this place. I have a new item however you MUST try! The "SPECIAL TEA" is sooooo good. It gives you a relaxed feeling and the presentation is just perfect. The service here is next level. Everyone is so kind. The owner steps outside the front door and waves and says hello even if I'm simply walking by. It just so happens, they have amazing food and the coolest ambiance ever.

    This is the egg roll appetizer

    Enjoyed the experience! The wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. I bit pricey, but very good food

    The House Made Lime Cake

    The best Vietnamese food in Houston, hands down! As someone who has visited Vietnam & also eaten Pho all around the US - I have to say Le Emperor is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to - in my life! I went there Thursday and went again on Friday lol The Le Emperor spring rolls are so delicious- every flavor u could desire is there. Then I ordered the veggie pho and my friend the Le emperor's pho & both were amazing bc the broth was so flavorful, savory & rich w all the flavors u want in a pho broth. Words cannot explain it - pls just try it. Also - the desserts - omg - they make a chocolate mousse cake and a lime cake - (i could cry thinking about it) - they r so delicious it honestly should be illegal. The chocolate mousse cake was like art to see and taste! Then lime cake was so refreshing and delicious and unique in flavor u cant get enough. Pls do go enjoy. Oh & look how they prepare their takeout. The to-go container is designed in a flower. =) so beautiful! My favorite restaurant in Houston/Cypress!

    Came here early Friday evening and place was not yet packed. The waiter was really nice and gave us good customer service. Their menus were light up cool so we knew we picked the right place. We ordered: spring rolls, mango shrimp salad, red snapper, and shaking beef. All were amazing and cooked so well! The spring rolls had a crunch and the peanut sauce was creamy. The mango salad had the right amount of citrus with salty. Red snapper was cooked very well and cut for easy eating. Just a heads up to be aware of tiny bones. The beef was melt in your mouth cooked to perfection. They are on the pricier side for vietnamese food, but their style is very elevated and worth the price. The ambiance in there is also very relaxed and warm. Definitely will go back!

    Not only is the dining room beautiful and quiet, but the service is outstanding and the food divine. Everything we have tried -- from apps to desserts, from vermicelli to duck to fish to shaking beef -- is so full of flavor and umami. If you haven't tried Le Emperor yet, you are truly missing out.

    First time to visit tonight for my birthday dinner date with my husband. The food, service and ambiance were all outstanding. It was getting busy right as we were leaving for the movies. Backlit menu was so cool Starter of Artichoke Appetizer, which was wonderfully lightly fried and just the right amount of olive oil and fresh herbs I ordered the Ginger Fish Stew, which had a clear delicious collagen-full spicy tomato broth with large chunks of tilapia, pineapple, halved grape tomatoes and slides of various herbs. Not too spicy but just perfect! Finished off with a surprise dessert and firecracker We will be back

    It's my birthday and my kid took me to Raising Canes for dinner. Not gonna lie, it was a bit of a…read morelet down but I got to pick dessert. And what better place than the shop I used to go to back in the 90's. Now I've never been to the woodlands location before. It's in that waterway district near the mall and so parking was sure to be a B. But this being thanksgiving week it actually wasn't half bad. The shop is smaller than the Richmond location. But that's just more goodness compressed into a TLP. There are no birthday specials alas. But they did have some free samples of tiramisu. It was good but I had to get my favorites. J's birthday cake and the Big O. The birthday cake is thicker like brownie than some of the other chocolate cakes. I can't describe the frosting this go around because my punk kid at all the frosting off it while my attention was focused on the Big O. But the cake part was moist. As for the Big O it was Ooooohhh. No When Harry Met Sally diner scene experience. But it was F'n awesome. Staff was super helpful and nice. Wanted to eat more but my blood sugar wouldn't tolerate it.

I shared with the person behind the counter that there is a nut allergy in our family and she was helpful in telling us what to avoid. Tip-- they did share that they don't regularly disclose if something that nuts (peanuts or tree nuts) so if you have an allergy, make sure you tell them so they can help! There were a small set of tables to sit inside and enjoy your treats if you wanted to. We got a variety of things to share, tres leches (this is okay, a little sweet and pretty standard), tiramisu, pecan pie bar (delicious but crumbly/messy to eat), Oreo truffles and confetti truffles (my nieces and nephew absolutely loved these)! It was pretty pricey, but always happy to support local businesses!
