    Tofu Bahn Mi
    Chris F.

    Very solid tofu banh mi! I don't live in the area ,but wouldn't mind going again if do happen to meander my way over to that part of town and I'm in the mood for some Bahn Mi (which is 27/7 if I'm being honest)

    Bun Rieu
    Nicole T.

    Good authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I also enjoy they close at 9pm sometimes so I can quickly come by for a quick bite. The bun Rieu was delicious. Although I would love some more rieu from the dish itself. But still it was delicious. The service is normal as you expect, quick and prompt.

    Fried eggrolls
    Michelle O.

    I tried the Canh Bun (crab noodle soup with water spinach). There's a fluffy crab-egg slice, fried and crunchy shallots, thick slices of seasoned pork patties (steamed and fried), green onions, cilantro, fried tofu puffs, water spinach, and sliced fresh tomatoes. The broth has a light vegetable- seafood flavor. The round vermicelli rice noodles make the meal filling. Overall, it's a nice bowl when you don't particularly crave anything but want a noodle soup. The fried dumplings (pork and cabbage) were crunchy and lightly fried. The coffee jelly drink is made with Ca Phe Sua Da (a strong and creamy brew version) and minced coffee jelly (hard like the toppings you get at a boba shop).

    Shrimp and pork spring rolls with peanut sauce

    Good place to get Pho in spring area. Friendly staff, fast service and food are always fresh and delicious.

    Combination vermicelli bowl

    Tried this place for takeout to try a new vietnamese place. The fish sauce wings were so tasty and flavorful. I like that they are served with jalapeños and grilled onions. They were very small, but I would def get them again. My husband ordered the fried rice with no pork, but that put pork in it. He still ate it and said it was good and gave it a 7/10. I had the combination vermicelli bowl with chicken, shrimp, and an egg roll. I rate it an 8.5/10. It was very good, but they only put 2 shrimp in it. Would def try this place again and try the pho next time.

    Reasonably priced especially for large and generous portions! PHO DAC BIET: Ordered a large for myself, which turned out to be more than I needed, so I could've done with a regular. The pho is well-spiced and loaded with a lot of meat. The noodles were a little undercooked and took me some time to untangle. Overall a good bowl of pho and best bang for your buck. I liked the variety of sizes they had to offer, even going as small as baby sized -- perfect for those who can't eat too much! BANH XEO: This was huge! If I ordered this just for myself, I could've easily stretched it out to 3 meals. This was objectively a good banh xeo -- crispy and coconutty! Wish they had a little more protein (shrimp and pork belly) in it, but I liked how they used daikon in the filling rather than a topping. They gave a large medley of greens to use as a wrap and huge bowl of nuoc mam for dipping. GOI CUON: Standard and herby. A very refreshing bite to set apart the heavier food. SODA CHANH MUOI: Very refreshing. Light on the ice, which I very much prefer. This is my hangover cure LOL.

    Oh my God look at the size of this thing!

    I haven't been back to this establishment for a few years since they changed ownership I guess recently and I can tell you it's 100% turnaround. I did a search on the best Vietnamese food within a 10 mile radius from my residence and decided upon here. If you been to this place before there are remnants of the old owners and such but it seems like they redo the tables or something the chairs seem to be the same but what I can say is the new owners or employees keep this place pretty clean and no tables are left with junk on them for more than 10 minutes after the customers have finished eating at that table. Mother had the Ban Xeo.. and let me tell you compared to the others I've always had this thing is humongous! See my picture with the telephone beside it for reference I'd say it's about 14 inches long. This has to be the mandingo of Ban Xeos! My Bun Bo Hue was OK it has a lot of meat content in it but if one was being really picky it would be nice to have a spicy soup which is supposed to be but a lot of people can't handle it but that's okay good presentation and good quantity of product that you get for your money. The menu is not overwhelming it's just right it has something for everybody and the price is pretty much what doctor inflation has prescribed so you won't get sticker shock here but don't look for a dollar menu either. And now the best thing which I will always come back for, the customer service compared to the old owners. You know the usual Asian restaurant plop drop and roll off? Yes usually you get your food dropped off and you never see them again not even a peep unless you raise your hand like you're drowning or something. Not here, they check up on you. And are very very sentimental about what you need and that's still an understatement. I can't get over how this cannot be reproduced on most Asian restaurants but if you want a role model, here it is. See you here when you try this and please let me know what you think about it but if you look at the reviews it's the highest or one of the highest in the area.

    I can tell why this place has such a high rating! Went there on a Friday night after a long day at work and as a pregnant lady sometimes you have days where you need some comfort soup because you're nauseous. This was one of those days. They were so welcoming and the pho ended up being exactly what I needed to feel full, healed from the nausea, and warm. I wish I had two stomachs so I could have eaten more. The pho broth is SO good, it's rich and flavorful without being greasy. I am from Vegas and recently moved to Houston, and I can say this Pho blew any pho I had in Vegas out of the water. No need to add hoisin at all. The only additive I added was Sriracha and that's only because I am a spice addict it would have been just as good without it though! We were there on a date night and loved it so much we ordered some to take out for our mother in law and daughter because we knew they had to try it. So excited to go back because it's THAT good.

    Spring rolls
    Chelsea B.

    I was a little sad to see that this place had turned over ownership. I was pretty attached to the old food and owners as they were my go-to pho place in the area. Since the change in ownership I have ate in person a couple of times and ordered take out a couple times. Overall I think the service is pretty similar, new owners are nice but it does seem like they are short staffed often. As for the food, the flavors are similar to the previous business there but I do think the flavors before had more depth than now, especially the pho broth. I still recommend coming here for a bowl of pho, some spring rolls or a creamy smoothie.

    Biggest Banh Xeo I've ever seen! With potatoes, it is delicious .
    Julia R.

    This place has some terrific dishes, like banh people and shaken beef with noodles. The drinks are also good. I had a nice strawberry smoothie. Service was friendly and helpful. It was our first time, but we will be back to try banh mi, pho and more!

    Bo luc lac noodles
    Tudon M.

    Great service and food. The food was well seasoned and honestly the pho was amongst the best I've had. The wife really enjoyed the spring rolls and the sauce. Thick and flavorful versus a lot of the watery ones we get often. The ambiance was nice and authentic as you'd expect in a shopping center. They have music playing in the background and tv on the other side going.

    Banh xeo and the pork dish that's last on menu lol

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

The guy who answered the phone wasn't the friendliest, but I decided to roll the dice anyway, and I'm glad I did because the food was solid. We started with the egg rolls. At $10.95 for five pieces, I thought they were a little pricey. They came out piping hot and fresh from the fryer with a great crunch, and the fish sauce was delicious. My only complaint was the lettuce--they only gave us one piece. What am I supposed to do with one piece of lettuce? The Canh Chua Tôm had the perfect level of sourness, exactly how I like it. The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the medium-sized bowl was a generous portion. The Cá Kho Tộ was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, though I would've liked just a touch more salt. Pair it with a bowl of rice and some soup, and it's hard to beat. Overall, this place was solid. Is it better than my grandma's? Absolutely not--but that's a tough standard to live up to. It definitely satisfied the craving, and yes, I'd come back.
