I love this place! I usually come here if I'm hungry after work. No disappointments! I've tried the salt and pepper shrimp and the fried chicken dishes. Very tasty! I love how they put pineapples with the cuisine. Very different. I saw someone order Pho and it looks tasty, too. I'll be back for sure! read more

I recommend the Singapore glass noodles with shrimp and chicken, the Hong Kong wonton noodle soup is awesome, but my favorite is the Chinese crab and shrimp fried rice. read more

2.5 stars. This is basically just a pho review though. My place is a 12 minute was from this place. It was 1 in the morning and we wanted some pho. Yelped a pho place that was open late in Midtown other than Mai's and this place popped up. We went and checked it out. The decor of the place is not bad. The server/host was pretty attentive and friendly. The food on the other hand - very pricey. Now I get it. This is not Chinatown Houston where I can get a pretty damn good bowl of pho for 8 bucks or less. But if I am paying almost $11 for pho then I want it to be good. Now I am no expert in pho, but the broth I had was pretty bland for my tasting. The meat was good, the noodles were good, but this is pho we're talking about. The broth makes or breaks it. The one upside to it was the bowl was big. Overall, I will say that Mai's would probably be the better option for super late night pho in Midtown. If it wasn't 1 AM on a weekday I'll take the 20 min drive to Chinatown over this place. PI know this place is only 7 weeks old so I might actually try to come back when I want pho at 1 in the morning and see if anything changes just because it's close by. Other than that right now the best thing going for this place is that they close at 3 AM most days. read more

Local Viet place that serves your typical Vietnamese fare. Hours of operation are a bit odd and makes me think it caters to a late nite crowd... Food was ok but not anything worth highlighting. I guess if you don't have a phone or transportation and need something close by if you have a craving for jasmine rice and fish sauce, then you have a place close! read more

Customer service was spot on. Very personal service and the food was good too. Spicy shrimp fried rice .

This place is a 3 minute walk from me so super convenient to go to. I love that it's open late - probably some of the better quality food you can get late at night. Overall the food is solid. I've liked both the Lemongrass Chicken and Thai Fried chicken when I've gotten it. Service is great. Everyone on the staff is really nice. Only reason this rating isn't higher is because they are SO damn pricey. $8 spring rolls?? $18 chicken and vegetables dish?? Come on, man..I'm guessing most of their clientele is late nighters who are out at one of the nearby bars and are too drunk to care about paying a few extra bucks. read more

I'm always in search of good pho in Houston, and I am very picky about it. I'm currently sitting at the bar right now waiting on my to-go order around 11pm, as they stay open late to compete with Mai's I suppose. I don't like Mai's because they use a lot of MSG and it makes the broth unauthentic. I asked the server and he politely asked the owner for me if they used MSG and to my surprise, they do not use this flavor enhancer. The atmosphere is delicate, simple, and quite cozy. The server was very nice and polite as well and made sure to ask if I needed anything else with my order before my departure. 5 stars on service, but also it wasn't busy at all so I'm not sure how they work under pressure. Great location and plenty of parking. Okay now that I'm home: I read someone thought the broth was not good here, they must not understand authenticity. Well, they did mention they loved Mai's restaurant. That's probably why. The broth is delicately made I can tell, probably cooked with the bones for hours and hours. The flavor perfect where you don't need any sauce. I got the filet mignon (they offered it to be prepared well done or medium rare). They served a generous portion of broth where I couldn't even fill the entire bowl up and still had 1/4 of the container left. Noodles are noodles. They're good. The broth is what makes it and Me'lange did a fine job at that. The only thing I could ask for is to have fatty brisket as a meat option. Otherwise filet mignon would have been my second choice. I will return as it is hard to find an authentic Pho restaurant in the eclectic neighborhoods of Houston besides bellaire. Check out The Boiling Pho in Pearland for the most authentic pho in that area. read more

This restaurant is pretty good considering the area. The prices are extremely high, but given the fact that the restaurant is opened late kind of evens it out. The food is delicious, but not the best I've ever had. As a Vietnamese person, it took some time to decipher what Viet dishes were on the menu, as everything is in English (i.e. Canh Chua was listed as Sweet & Sour Tamarind Soup). Food is authentic, and IDGAF if they use MSG or not (MSG is in everything we eat like tomatoes). If you're looking for a place to eat towards the end of the night, than this is your place. Be prepared to pay top dollar for huge portions. Service is decent, but then again most places with delicious food has bad service. read more

After a festive 4th of July we decided to walk down to this spot to chow some food and finish the day before bed. They are open late, which is great! The staff was quick to serve and ran over the menu. Ordered the Pad Thai w/ chicken, which was delicious. It's in the spicy side (for those of you with sensitivity) but I really enjoyed it. Egg rolls are perfectly crispy as well. Can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

Me'lange - Pad Thai w/ Chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was decent but the service was awful. The server was so socially awkward. We had to ask for plates, silverware, and napkins after the appetizer arrived. They brought us dirty napkins and forks only. When they brought out the entree and soup, we had to ask for serving spoons, spoons and bowls. The bowls were dirty too so we sent them back. Very disappointing experience. read more

This place was good. The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because we ordered the crab fried rice just from seeing previous reviews. It's almost $30 which is insane for the price but from the pictures we saw it came with the crab fingers and we were told it also had shrimp. It came with 6 shrimp no crab fingers there was barely any crab at all in the rice. It was very disappointing for $30 and definitely not worth it. Other than that everything else we got was great and a good portion. The service was good too! I would definitely go back I just wouldn't order the crab fried rice. read more

I have ordered beef pho to-go from here twice over the course of a few months. Each time, the pho was nicely packaged with the broth, vegetables, sauces, and silverware separated. It was still perfectly hot when I got home to eat it. They give you a great amount of flavorful broth as well as a good amount of sauces. I love this local spot for some great pho to-go on a Sunday night! This is now my go-to place for my pho. I can't speak to ambiance or sit-down service, as I have only gotten it as takeout, but it has been ready on time each time I've ordered. read more

I love this new place... I have had almost all the appetizers, the chicken pho, Thai fried rice, seafood fried rice, pad Thai, and two of the chicken entrees, and the signature beef entree. The food is cooked clean and taste amazing. Not over seasoned and has the right about of flavor. The owner is amazing and such a nice guy; but so is the rest of his staff. I have gone in super late night and the food is fresh and cooked to order. Great and highly unrated place. read more

I've been here consistently over the last few months as I recently moved to Houston from California. This is the best Vietnamese inspired fusion food spot that I've had. The food is delicious. The service is amazing and the inside is beautifully decorated with a good assortment of music playing. 10 out of 10 recommend read more

This place is amazing. Ordered about $50 worth of food as it was my first time there. Tired the House Special Thai Rice. Pad Thai. General Tso Chicken. The Tso chicken sauce had quality honey in it. A twist. It was amazing. The rice was fresh and the fresh were fresh. Cooked to order and top notch. The pad Thai has fish sauce in it, which is out the ordinary, but it was still hot and fresh. Tasty. Can't wait to go back again. Seating is limited and small. But that doesn't take away from the service and quality. read more

Me'lange - Pad Thai and House Special Thai Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Meh food, Me'lange positions itself as a fusion restaurant but lacks the depth and breadth of a cuisine - falling short of many other Viet restaurants in the city. I went for the Melange Traditional Soup (Hue Meat Lover Soup / Bun Bo Hue) and found it to lack the seasoning and flavor that you would expect or want out of a soup. The restaurant is also painfully slow, I waited ~1.5 hours for the order and it was simpl not worth the wait read more

My wife and I came here because it was close to us and open very late...now a second time in a week. We were only interested in Pho and wow we were treated to serious deliciousness! My beef pho was outstanding and I managed to finish 1/3 of my wife's chicken pho...also outstanding! We recently moved back to Houston and have had pho in 3 different reataurants in 2 weeks and this tasted the absolute best! Great value as well and great attitude of staff! Thank you and we will be back many many more times. read more

Me'lange - Salt and pepper wings, shrimp fried rice, beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Was on a search for pho late at night... and the search continues. Let me just get this out the way... the pho was underwhelming, mediocre at best. No amount of hoisin, siracha, lime or cilantro could redeem it. It lacked the basic pho flavor that you look for and just tasted like broth with a lil something extra. The Salt & pepper shrimp hit the spot. Perfectly fried. Nothing spectacular but a good, solid fry. It comes on a bed of sautéed cabbage, bell pepper, onion, pineapple and plain white rice. Idk what that's about, added nothing to the dish but again, the shrimp were great. I enjoyed the Viet egg rolls and the Chinese egg rolls. On the strength of the shrimp and the egg rolls, I'd come back but not for pho. I'm willing to try the other dishes that have good reviews for a late night fix. This is not a pho restaurant. read more

The second that I walked in here I could tell how good it was going to be by the smell from the kitchen the place is quiet very chic what guy at the counter who was super friendly! I got the Thai Fried chicken and holy freaking heck! It was so good. read more

Meeting up with friends coming from different parts of town and wanted a Vietnamese offering that wasn't limited to pho. At first glance this looked like a good option billing itself as an Asian fusion restaurant. Having had reasonable luck with Asian fusion before, I was optimistic about the visit. Unfortunately I was disappointed. There was nothing novel on the menu, in this case fusion meant more like we have a few Vietnamese options, some Chinese and a smattering of Thai. The place was empty on our arrival and that included staff who were behind the curtain in the kitchen. I will say the egg rolls were good but standard fare and the chef was willing to go off menu and forgo steamed rice and allowed vermicelli to be substituted. Unfortunately our meals were lackluster and there is little about the experience that will entice me to go back. read more

just ok but open late shrimp were salty spring rolls were good service is a bit awkward but Don's ol broke but liked it... read more

Quaint and cozy Vietnamese place in the ever changing Fourth Ward that offers a menu that seems to be more Pan-Asian, so even your pickiest friend can find something on the menu. I can't speak to the "authenticity" of the food but for someone who likes simple, quick Pho, this place hits the spot for me. Their prices are very affordable and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking in the lot behind the building. They are open super late, so prevent that morning hangover from a long night of drinking and get yourself some Pho! read more

Me'lange - The cruchiest French fry you'll ever eat. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

As the Houston 'lockdown' slowly comes to an end (meaning, I can finally get a legit haircut and head back to the gym), I decided to reminisce the past couple months over Vietnamese food from Me'lange restaurant. First impressions came from the bomb pork spring rolls - best I've ever had. Generous meat portions and fried egg really made my rice platter. Food quality was exceptional and I appreciate the late-night Uber eats hours. I'll definitely order this again. read more

Updating this review again. I would give 1 star but out of respect for the owners, I will leave it at 3. I received a message after I updated my original review from 5 stars to 3 stars today. The response was unprofessional. A server should not use the owner's account to contact a customer about their review. I never mentioned the server's name or a description of him as so to keep it anonymous. However, he felt the need to message me and call me out for my review. I have been in the restaurant industry as both a server and busboy. I know what it takes to be a good server and what good service means. This is not what I received that day yet we still tipped him decently. At no point was I rude to him in person either. My review on yelp is reflective of the service I felt I received. Additionally, my review is not the only one that mentions poor service. The message he sent was unwarranted and accusatory. I will never return to this restaurant and will not recommend it based on this server's actions today. I choose not to post his message to me as yelp is not the place for this type of behavior and I will not participate in such ridiculousness. ------///// It really pains me to update this review in a negative way. I always love supporting local, small mom and pop shops. We recently came back for lunch on a Saturday and it was a completely different experience both with the service and the food. Service wise, I have yet to understand how they employed someone who had to be asked for every single item instead of knowing/anticipating needs based on food ordered. Example: he failed to give me a cutting knife for my pork chop. I must have asked him 5 times for every single thing we needed. He also input my order wrong, causing my food to come out later than my husband's and the food was cold. As far as food goes, there was zero taste in the pork chop seasoning this time. The pork chop itself was cold when they delivered my rice dish. The rice dish was missing the pickled vegetables that usually come with the dish. Overall, I was highly disappointed with our latest visit and I'm not sure with all that went wrong if I would come back. ------///// What a gem! This Vietnamese restaurant just opened. Run by the nicest couple and the staff were so nice. It's actually a pretty, sit-down place you can take dates. They are also open very late if you're in the area or in Midtown after some drinking. If you're too lazy, they also partner with Uber Eats. As for the food, 5/5 for the two dishes we tried. The beef pho broth was super authentic. The bowl was sizable and the meat seemed high quality and not fatty. Also got the rice dish with pork chops. Authentic tasting and huge portion. I know people will complain about prices but I don't mind. It's not a hole in wall place in Bellaire/Chinatown, so what do you expect? The place is clean, the portions big, the service good so the price is justifiThe owners have experience and it shows; husband use to work at Kim Son. Also, don't forget to try their Thai tea and green Thai tea. Both delicious. read more

Went here last night around midnight and was expecting the covid regulations to be anything but this. The staff and owners were not wearing any gloves and most importantly MASKS?? A group of guys walked in very close behind me, also with no masks. The staff of course, did not say anything since they don't care for any safely measures during this time. As I waited for my to go order to be made, I watched the staff member walk around the restaurant carelessly with no regards to any type covid regulations. Now to the food, I think the food was okay. I ordered the hunan fried rice along with the salt and pepper tofu. Nothing too mind blowing but a decent option for as late as they open. Would I be returning? No. If they don't care for safety measures, what's to say they care for anything sanitary in the kitchen? read more

I've been driving past this place for a while and finally decided to try it on a Friday night. The food was...meh..and service non-existent. There were only 2 other people eating and a young guy working the front. Our appetizers came way before our drinks. We never got refills after that. The Thai egg rolls were amazing! The lettuce wraps were okay. The pho was average. The viet sandwiches were very different than any I've ever tried and that's not a compliment. It did not taste like a Banh mi AT ALL. The meat was drenched in sauce. The meat was more like the one you'd typically find in a stir fry. It came with fries that were super oily but not cooked all the way through. Not edible. The prices are also high for the quality of food you get. The sandwich was $9. IMO the only banh mi worth that price is Les Ba'get. I had hight expectations for the location. I won't be going back. read more
