Hands down the best pho I've tried so far!! We stopped by Ocean Da Nang Quan because we heard from family members that the Vietnamese food was really good here. The inside looked like a standard Vietnamese restaurant, but still clean. The service was a bit rushed but still quick and friendly. Now the food was definitely on point! We got their Special Stone Pot Pho ($16.10) which was really unique to me because I've never seen pho served on a hot stone pot before but it definitely enhanced the flavor with the boiling heat and flavorful broth. We also got their Mi Quang Dac Biet ($16.10) & Banh Hap Combo ($14.20). Those were also delicious! Both of those dishes had an authentic taste to the central region of Vietnam (Mien Trung). Overall, the food here was so worth the visit. If you want authentic Vietnamese food, come to Ocean Da Nang Quan! read more

I saw an Instagram post for this place and knew I had to stop by and try their signature Huế dishes from the Vietnamese northern region. We stopped in for a late lunch around 3 PM. We were told to seat ourselves anywhere so we picked a table with menus already set. There are photos of every menu item, definitely a bonus so there's no doubt about what each dishes are. For our party of three, we ordered: * Combo Appetizer Plate - comes with cha Huế, Bánh bèo, Bánh nậm, and Bánh bột lọc. All were good but was served last after we were halfway done with our entrees. * Bun Bo Ocean - served in a hot stone bowl with the noodles and veggies on the side. You just add the noodles as you go so they don't get soggy if you don't eat fast enough. Meats were tender, done just right. The soup was a little too sweet for our liking. * Bun Bo Original - exactly like the Bun Bo Ocean but with two less meat. * Com Ga Roti - this was my favorite dish here. Served with yellow rice and a super juicy chicken leg quarter. It was crispy on the outside and the dipping sauce went well with the chicken. I wish the rice was hot rather than lukewarm. This came wish a small bowl of soup on the side. There is a lack of service here. There was only one waitress working on a Sunday afternoon. We kept having to walk up to the counter to ask for things like status of the appetizer, the check, sauces, to-go containers. Aside from the service, the restaurant was clean and the food is solid. The prices are reasonable, cheaper than other places on Bellaire serving similar food. I will come back to try the pho and chicken salad. read more

I'm a huge fan of food from Da Nang, so I know how vibrant, flavorful, and aromatic Vietnamese cuisine can be. That's why I really pay attention to authenticity and taste when I try new spots. This restaurant can really be a hit or miss when it comes to Vietnamese food. Some dishes come out decent, but others fall short of true Vietnamese flavor. The inconsistency makes it hard to know what you're going to get each visit. With a cuisine that relies so much on fresh ingredients and rich flavors, I wish the quality here was more reliable -- But my in-laws did enjoy the Banh Beo here. read more

The pho broth is a little on the bland side but they offer fish sauce condiments on the table so you add it to the pho for more flavor. I enjoyed the mi quang. The restroom did not have a changing table, which most restaurants in Chinatown do not have changing tables. I hope this will change in the future. read more

This place is a hidden gem with plenty of seating and a clean environment, complemented by friendly staff. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese dishes from Da Nang, this restaurant has it all. This was our second visit. During our first trip, we ordered the Bun Bo Hue served in a hot stone bowl. On our second visit, we decided to try some new dishes. We started with Banh Beo as an appetizer, which was delicious, and the fish sauce was spot on. For the main course, we ordered a chicken specialty that came with rice, chicken salad, a side of soup, and dark meat chicken. Everything was flavorful and unique. My husband tried the Bun Rieu served in a hot stone bowl. Although he's not usually a fan of Bun Rieu, he ended up finishing the whole bowl, and the soup was served piping hot. We will definitely return to try more dishes! read more

Ocean Da Nang Quan may not look like much from the outside, but once you step through the doors to this restaurant you will be captivated by the colorful paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling and the smell of traditional Vietnamese food being prepared in the kitchen. Tucked away in a shopping center in Bellaire, Ocean Da Nang Quan serves traditional Vietnamese food including banh nam and noodle soups served with fresh vegetables. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, and, unfortunately, the restaurant appeared understaffed. Our server seemed over-worked and very stressed out. Despite our server not being in a good mood, the service was fast. We were seated right away, drinks came out quickly, and our food was not far behind. My partner (who was born in Vietnam) had nothing but good things to say about our experience. He thoroughly enjoyed every dish that we ordered, and he claimed that this was the most authentic Viet culinary experience he has had in Houston outside of his mother's kitchen! As someone who is much less familiar with traditional Vietnamese cuisine, I enjoyed certain dishes more than others. The appetizer - banh nam - was not my favorite. It was very fragrant as it was prepared in a banana leaf but otherwise had little real flavor of its own. Also, the consistency is very mushy, almost like a Vietnamese tamale. My entree, however, was delicious! I ordered the Mi Quàng Ga - a noodle soup with turmeric chicken. This dish was filling, flavorful, and topped with crunchy peanuts which complimented the flavors of the chicken and noodles well. Avoid wearing white if you plan to order this dish as the turmeric will stain your clothing! My partner ordered the Ocean beef noodle soup and sang its praises throughout the whole meal. Our drinks were also very tasty. I ordered the Coconut Kumquat Dua Tac. At first, I felt the coconut really overpowered the taste of the drink; however, as I continued to drink it, the flavors started to blend well. Overall, this was a great dining experience! I will definitely go back to Ocean Da Nang Quan. Side note: ALLERGY WARNING! Many traditional Vietnamese dishes are prepared with peanuts. The restaurant even has warning signs posted. read more

We came in during lunch on Saturday with 15 people and were able to get a seat within less than 30 minutes. The staff was great. Service was really good. Ambiance was cute with lateens overhead. The owner put effort into the decor. Food was a 3/5 star. I wanted to love it because it has all of my fave Viet regional food. But the broth in the bun Bo was meh. Pho broth was ok. Probably the best dish. Got mi Quãng (shrimp and chicken variety) and it was not good. The noodle was very mushy and broke apart. The ong choy chicken salad dressing was way too sweet. For the price, I would give it 4 stars for $9 menu. read more

We stopped by Da Năng Quán for their $9.99 per dish dine-in promo and ended up ordering pretty much everything on the menu. What really impressed us were the frog Quảng noodle soup, fried pork intestine, and chicken salad. The flavors were solid, and the price was very affordable. Service wasn't great, but given the promo and casual vibe, it was somewhat expected. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic "Trung" food at a reasonable price. read more

Great customer service. They're so friendly and will answer all your questions enthusiastically. Com Ga Len Mam 10/10, go early because once they sell out, it's done for the day. First time having this dish and they were informing us on how to eat it and what sauces go best with it. Egg Coffee, pricey but in a huge cup. Rich enough that when you mix the egg in thoroughly, it's still strong in coffee flavor. Can't wait to come back! read more

We went here after hearing good things about them. Our group of 5 arrived a little after they've opened and were the only group besides another table of two. We placed our order with the waiter - and I requested no veggies, no peanuts for our son's vermicelli with grilled pork because he's allergic to peanuts. My husband was going to share the dish with him so he asked for the veggies on the side instead. Our dishes come out and there's peanuts in my son's bowl of food. The waiter was no where to be found and so we waved the other waitress over to let her know and she took it back. 5 minutes later, the waiter comes back, places the bowl down and tells me "Ua! chi noi voi em la lay dau phung ma. Chi noi bo rau rieng thoi." "you told me you wanted peanuts, just veggies on the side." We were shocked that the waiter would talk to us this way when we clearly said no peanuts, just veggies on the side. If he was confused, he could have asked to clarify but after seeing the receipt he clearly rung it in as only veggies on the side and didn't even note no peanu The rest of the food was fine but this experience left a horrible taste in our mouth and we won't be back. I guess the waiter felt it was okay to talk to us that way since they charge 18% tip regardless of service. read more

Upon walking into this really colorful restaurant m, the only customer that was in there before us ordered the bun Bo hue served in the stone pot. I had to ask if he was enjoying it and he had smiles. That's really the specialty of this restaurant is the pho and bún bò Huế served in the stone pot. We ordered both and a sugar cane drink. So how is that different that it's served in something piping hot vs a bowl. It definitely was boiling the soup and that's all that was in the stone pot was soup. You need to add the noodles, proteins and veggies and garnishes in. I guess it allows you to control like the rare beef steak to be a bit more rare and eat it at your own pace and the noodles so that it's not over cooked. The portion doesn't seem much but it's was a decent amount of food for what it was. I would say it was definitely good. The sugar cane drink was good too. Why 4 stars? I would've liked more variety in the menu that represents Đà Nẵng than these 2 dishes served this way. Maybe it's just me but I would come back just to try other things even though they aren't too different than what other restaurants serve. read more

First coming into this restaurant it was dirty! I ordered Mi Quang and combo plate for appetizer (bánh lọc là, nam, béo...) food and flavor is not goood, old smelly scent. Banh béo was uncooked! In Vietnamese cuisine, there's a lot of fish sauce.... But you shouldn't be smelling the fishy odors when the fish sauce is not under your nose! The sauces on the table spilled over, unclean and bubbling up! I go so grossed out that I hesitated to use the sauces. But I had to bc the food was lacking of flavor. There was a bug in my mi Quang this is poor management... how do you run a business like this... read more

Came here on a Friday night, and it wasn't crowded at all. Staff was very nice. We tried the bun bo hue in the stone pot... and it did not disappoint!!! This ranks in my top two favorite bun bo hue dishes in Houston! The flavor was just right! I liked that it had the pork hock and blood cubes and more! The broth stayed piping hot for the whole meal. Supposedly, they don't use msg. I also liked that there was an option for thin vs thick rice noodles. The noodles were the perfect texture as well. Highly recommend the bun bo hue here! Will definitely be back! read more

Service was horrible!! Took over an hour for food to come out. Food came out cold. Not enough utensils. Just an overall bad experience.

Y'all I wanted to like this place so soo soo bad. I found out about them from Facebook reviews from the Vietnamese/Bellaire community. After much excitement and inviting my mom to come check them out with me, we made it out for lunch on a Monday. They just opened, so of course there was a wait and a line but it wasn't too bad. It took about 25 minutes for us to be seated, but no complaints because I already knew it what it was going to be like when checking out a new restaurant. We brought my baby nephew with us, but I guess they only have two high chairs for the restaurant (which were already in use) so he had to just try to sit in a regular chair. We didn't really get a lot of time to look at the menu before someone came to take our orders, which is nice if you know what you want, but with them being new - maybe give the customer like 5 minutes to check out the menu. They didn't have a few of the menu offerings but we were able to order two bowls of bun Bo hue and 1 chicken and rice for my nephew. Something that I found very unique about the bun Bo hue is that they serve it in stone bowls. Stone bowls help keep the soup piping hot, which is why the noodles are provided on the side instead of in the bowl. That truly is the extent of good things i have to say about the bun Bo hue here. The soup broth and bun Bo hue flavor was truly lackluster and kind of weird. To me, didn't really taste like Bu bo hue at all. My mom was quite disappointed as well. The chicken and rice for my nephew was good, and better than the bun Bo hue but the bigger portion of it costs $40 - which seems quite overpriced. The chicken and rice also came out first and after about 10-15 minutes and us flagging down our waiter - the bun Bo hue came out. For drinks I ordered their sugarcane juice which I thought was okay, but it was also a little too sour. My mom tried to get the coconut kumquat drink they have, to which the waiter told her they were sold out of. However when I went to go check out a little later on, they were serving up 5-7 cups of the coconut kumquat juice. How disappointing. I really have a lot of grace when it comes to trying out restaurants when they first open. Everything can go wrong but if the food is good, I will most likely always return. This was not the case at all for this restaurant. Everyone has different taste though, so I still would say they are worth checking out for yourself. As for me, I probably won't be returning as there are too many tried and true good bun Bo hue restaurants in the area. read more

Let me start off by saying service was good and that the staff there is really nice. The bun bo hue was good and I liked that they have different varieties to choose from. It is also different because they put it in a hot stone pot. Com ga hoi an was just ok. The flavors were there but I didn't really like the dish as a whole and the rice was not good. They also give you a free bowl of beef bone soup which was good and appreciative. As for the other comments regarding the watered down expensive drinks, I agree. Had the coconut kumquat drink and also sugarcane and it was expensive and not good.. read more

Okay this is my update review hoping that the management would read and correct their foods quality . I'm a frequent to this restaurant and the last 3 times I have been there . I ordered their famous Bun Bo Hue and the broth is very bland , absolutely not a taste of what a normal BBH broth would taste like. The first 2 times I told the store manager and they said they will let the owner know . I told them that when they have the Hispanic worker cook a VN dish then someone has to taste the broth pot before they serve . They agreed that the broth was very lacking . I told them that I will only mention once or twice . I will come back and try in a couple of weeks , if it improve or not , I will leave another review . The ambiance is still the same . I like the staff they are friendly but I think they are getting complacent and allow the quality of foods to go down read more

Accidentally found this gem. Was on my way to Hong Kong supermarket with my little sister and was stop at the traffic light. Looked in the right corner I was hungry my sister said let's eat lunch before we go to the market. I'm glad we did we order what seems to be everyone dish at the table Bun Bo Hue the original that's what I order. In the menu they had two option. Everything was pretty fast from getting seated, service to our food. Here they did not use a regular bowl more like a clay type of bowl the noodles & veggies was on a side plate together. They use right veggies and different type of mints which I really love. On the table there was dry fried chili with garlic also shrimp paste you can add to your soup or eat it with Thai chili. The soup was phenomenal very tasty lots meat very original. This place is a real gem. I will be back for more to try other food when I'm in the area. I do highly recommend this place if you want some comfort home tasting Bun Bo Hue. read more

If you're from Houston, you would know this is the old location where Chino Chino use to be. When I found out there was a new restaurant that took over this place, it was a must to visit. I love this restaurant, the atmosphere reminds me so much of Da Nang & Hoi An. I just came back from Vietnam recently and this place made me feel so nostalgic. I feel like people might not like the Bun Bo Hue too much because it's not that typical powdery flavor & chili oil flavor. The broth is super clean. When I say it's really clean, it's clean. I truly do not like Bun Bo Hue that taste way too fake and has the instant powder taste and this restaurant really surprised me!! If you've had Bun Bo Hue in Vietnam you would know this place is AUTHENTIC. To add on top, they have the boiled pork & rice paper dish. The rice paper they provide, you don't need to dip it in water. You can simply roll ur spring roll & bite it. Honestly, this is probably my new favorite place on bellaire. read more

I think if you are someone who doesn't like a lot of options then this place would be good for you. I think they have about 6-8 items to choose from on the menu. I personally like to have more options since I like to try a lot of different things. I got the chicken and rice dish and that tasted fine. My husband and a couple other friends did the BBH in the stone bowl and they also thought it was pretty good. Some did say since it stayed hot for so long it was harder to finish their bowl. Overall the service was good and the food itself was good. I just wished there was more food options to choose from. read more
