Mid sized dining with full glass windows. Once you complete your meal, pick up your food tray, and bring it to counter next to desserts. Someone was waiting to remove empty food trays. I ordered Jasmine rice mixed veggies blend of broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, and carrots.

It's a grocery store that has a hot food section with dining and ready to go prepared foods. They also sell banh mis but I heard they've changed a bit. They used to have a tofu and mushroom one that was so perfection. Big pieces of tofu and mushrooms marinated in this delicious sauce. Now I heard they use a tofu and mushroom loaf that is made in house. They also have noodle soups and Vietnamese dishes (com tam, vermicelli noodles, etc) but I go for the deli style lunch box. For $11.75 you get a choice of rice (I've seen brown and purple) or noodles (I always get the noods) plus 3 choices. And a small veggie soup. The lunch box options rotate, there are some items that they have more often. I always get their green beans and I try their various tofu options. Recently they had an eggplant stir fry and it was delicious. There is also an ala carte section that has dim sum items. I love their turnip cake (law bak go). One order comes with 3 pieces and a soy sauce and a chili oil ($5.50). The grocery store has expanded and sells pantry items (noodles, rice, sauces, snacks, etc) as well as fruits and veggies and frozen items (fake meat items). If you are a vegetarian or just need a break, def try this spot. You won't regret it.

They have a wide variety of desserts which is very nice! The servers were super attentive and helped us with everything. I got the bun bo hue and my boyfriend got the Bo kho, I personally thought the bun bo hue was a little too sweet, but they provide fish sauce and shrimp paste on the table. We got a box of the jello for $15 which was a great deal, I loved the subtle coffee and pandan flavors in them. Overall, I will definitely be back and if you stop by, give their deserts a try! :)

Not knowing what Tiến Hưng Market 同興市場 really was, until I read review by Que N. It's not a…read morerun-down grocery store but it's never been updated. It reminded me Dynasty Supermarket before it closed. They both have resemblance from late 90's look and feel, just like the rest of this strip mall. I couldn't shop here because about 90% of packaging were in Vietnamese. It would take me days to translate with Google Translator app on things I might want. Couple of aisles were stacked with boxes. I considered myself skinny. But I couldn't even squeeze through them without knocking things off the shelves. That's a safety hazard. One corner of store has stacks of rice from Thailand, namely Jasmine rice. Lots of them in 25 lb sacks piled in the middle and smaller packages on the shelves. They seem to be fresher than Viet Hoa Supermarket. Another bad thing about doing here is the prices are marked. It could create a communication problem with cashier. I would come back if I can find someone speak same language to help me to translate.

Tien Hung is a small Asian grocery located in rather run-down shopping center on Beechnut and…read moreWilcrest. This store took over part of the old Viet Hoa, which was in the innermost corner of the shopping center. When my family moved to Houston in the early 90's, I remember frequenting the old Viet Hoa on the weekends. With time, things evolved and Viet Hoa became one of the Asian grocery store powerhouses in its current location on Beechnut and Beltway 8. With Chinatown's busy weekend traffic, it's convenient to have a few smaller Asian stores like Tien Hung as alternatives for ingredients or supplies. Obviously don't let the run-down store or presence of peddlers turn you away, but always be cautious of your surroundings. Do as I do, quickly get in, grab what you need, and go! The storefront is not the cleanest nor most well-maintained, but they do offer a limited selection of seafood, meats, and produce. Occasionally, my mom comes here for Asian herbs and pho bones and meats to save time. Should you need ground pork from certain cuts or sliced meat, you can request those services from the butcher. Sometimes, the shrimp in the seafood section is even cheaper than Viet Hoa or Hong Kong. My favorite items to get are the homemade pork and shrimp wontons, which are made in-house daily. The wontons are located in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. For $6.50, you get a reusable 14 oz package of 32 wontons. Since I buy them in bulk and have to transport them 5-6 hours in the car, I freeze them as soon as I get home. Before eating the wontons, I let them defrost in the refrigerator for use the next day. These wontons are the perfect addition to make your own wonton soup with egg noodles, veggies, chicken broth, and whatever other ingredients you prefer. Everyone that has tasted these wontons loves them, especially during those cold winter nights. Another favorite of mine is the 25lb bag of Con Nai Bao Bo(deer) jasmine rice. I have purchased about 3 bags already because of how fragrant it is when cooking. Compared to other brands, this jasmine rice is more soft and moist, with a subtle sweetness. It's more expensive than other brands at $27.50, but definitely give this brand of jasmine rice a try if you're wanting a better flavor/texture profile. At the front checkout counter, there are a small selection of homemade Vietnamese goodies like: sesame balls, banh bong lan (sponge cake), and shredded pork & pork skin (bi). I haven't tried any of the baked sweets here since Parisian Bakery is right next door, but I have tried the tasty shredded pork & pork skin (bi), which is sold by the pound. You can use the "bi" as a spring roll ingredient, on toasted French bread, or to be eaten with rice or broken rice dishes. Don't expect friendly service and the cashier lady often tries to ask you to buy more homemade goodies. Like I said earlier, grab only what you need and be on your way. Consider Tien Hung as your local Asian convenience store. I frequently stop by when my mom needs a few ingredients for dinner to avoid the hassles of parking and traffic at Viet Hoa or Hong Kong. And you can always grab fresh French bread, pate chaud and sweet goodies next door at Parisian Bakery too. Less hassles and getting sweet treats afterwards = winning!

There were an abundance of tofu items inside- from sweet tofu desserts, to fried tofu skin stuffed with meat, as well as other items like sweet sesame dough buns and other Vietnamese delicacies. I ended up getting the tofu dessert with sweet ginger sauce, and it was pretty good. (It's also a dessert in Chinese culture, so I've had quite a few I enjoyed and am comparing it to those.) I also got some fried sesame buns, and those were so light and delicious. It reminded me of the buns at chinese buffets I used to LOVE growing up. I talked to a few frequent flyers in the store and they all had such high praises for everything about Viet Tien Tofu. Service was a bit chaotic (in true asian fashion), but you will walk out with what you want after a bit of pointing and voice raising haha. Loved the vibes and the prices were so good. Will be back!

His energy was infectious. The garlic noodles with the shrimp were some of the best we've had in town. Worth the try. Packed with flavor! You must get the Beef Short Ribs. Don't think. It's a must. They have a Beef Stew Banh Mi in the Banh Mi section of their menu. I legit thought it would be some type of stewed beef inside a baguette, but I was wrong. It's a beef stew served in a bowl with which you can dunk the warm baguette. Good flavor but we got a bunch of tendon in our bowl. You must try their specialty Vietnamese iced coffee and their corn milk along with Thai teas. All homemade and super delicious. We will be back!
