    Wokk Fried Rice Bowl w/ Pork Belly and Brisket Eggroll
    Justin T.

    I first discovered Wokker when they had a location at The Conservatory. Sadly, they are no longer there, but was happy to see they have this location as well. What started off as a food truck has grown into a couple of actual restaurants and they still have the truck too from what I understand. What they offer here is Asian food with some southern fusion. Think Asian bases like pad Thai or fried rice and infuse it with some southern BBQ. That's exactly what I got. I went with fried rice bowl with pork belly. The rice was topped with tender, smoky pork belly, along with kimchi and a fried egg. The melding of flavors was awesome. Every component of the meal was done right. We also shared an order of the briskey eggrolls. This too was a flavor bomb. I thought the brisket would be dried out inside a fried eggroll wrapper, but it was very good. They used the thin wrappers used for spring rolls, so it was crispy, but not too thick to where you lose the flavors of the filling. Overall, this is a great, fast casual spot serving up great fusion food. I shall be back!

    Brisket Curly Fries
    Sammy K.

    The brisket on the curly q fries was really good. I'd recommend them. The brisket eggrolls were a bit of a disappointment though. Should be served with bbq sauce as opposed to an Asian dip. Service was cool. I placed my order easily and food was cooked to order. Place was a vibe and full of people on their way to the Astro's game.

    Good service, and good food! There's a secret surprise if you ask the right question !! I will totally come back here for the food and drinks ! :)

    Casual Asian fusion brick and mortar spot on the north side of town within the loop. It's not the best part of town but rent is probably cheaper here. You order up front at the counter and get served your food fairly quickly. Service is friendly and fast; they have only one front of house staff. We got the chicken green dumplings (3/5), bonito brussell sprouts (2/5), and brisket curly fries (4/5) for apps. I wasn't a big fan of the dumplings as they were slightly on the bland side. The Brussels did not have a great flavor and the sauce could've been a bit less salty. The curly fries with brisket tasted like a food truck special and was very filling and the brisket is good as well. For the main, I got the brisket pad Thai (4/5) and a Vietnamese coffee (3.5/5). The pad Thai actually worked decently with the brisket, which was moist and flavor wise, and a step above Rudy's but not quite a Truth brisket. The pad Thai tastes like a slightly sweeter version of a pad Thai usually served at Thai spots. Overall, it's a fast casual fusion spot and they have some solid options for a quick lunch.

    Brisket Eggroll (4)
    Blessing D.

    Brisket is definitely the thing to get when you come here. It's juicy, it's flavorful and mixes with Asian flavors surprisingly well. The service was good, nothing over bearing or great but just right. The decor and maneki neko cowboy is just right for what this restaurant provides. The only reason why I couldn't give them a 5th star is because the rice bowls were genuinely terrible. Plain rice that was so oily with a runny egg on top. The chicken and the shrimp were both horrible neither of us finished our food. A small upside is the kimchi which was pretty good.

    We haven't received the refund yet.

    Do Not Eat here! I'm still haven't received a refund for the contaminated food. This is not acceptable. There was some type of plastic/paper mixed in with the brussel sprouts and orange chicken. Eating this caused me to have stomach pains and diarrhea. I choked and vomited the food back up.

    I have to give this place a solid 5 because the food and service was excellent. Yes it's bare bones as far as decor goes but it is what it is. The food here is excellent. Popped in because I live in the neighborhood and I did not want to venture far. Service was friendly and attentive. It is a walk up to the counter, place your order and your food would be brought out to you establishment. It was a Sunday and the place was not packed. We started with the jalapeno bites. They were so good we ordered two more helpings to go. I had the orange chicken bowl (so good). The grilled onions and peppers where a nice compliment to the dish. My friend ordered the fried rice bowl and it was very delicious. The food came out fresh and made to order. I was really impressed with this place and was impressed by the quality of the food. I will definitely be back. There is a little speakeasy inside called Méo. One of the employees showed us the secret entrance because I asked. It was closed at the time but can't wait to have cocktails there. I will definitely come back here.

    The food is fresh and amazing and has a great spice and flavoring. I love the brisket egg rolls and their pork belly rice! The cashier was super friendly and was very informative about all three menus and their times. I love the decorations and the cool updated decor!

    Oh man, I stumbled across the place by accident and I am soooo glad I did. I was grabbing food while on my way to my brothers for our Saturday family hang out. This food is so good! We ordered two of the fried rice bowls one pork belly and one brisket and my brother had the shaken beef. I specifically had the brisket and it's so delicious it tastes candied and it's cooked to perfection it compliments the egg in the bowl. In true little sister fashion I ate a piece of food out of everyone's bowl while unpacking the to go bag and can confirm all food was delicious haha. I didn't dine in but the person at the register was very nice and my food was ready quickly. Highly recommend trying this place out!

    Cowboy Katsu pork belly fried rice bourbon pepper steak
    Lily N.

    I'd say solid place for a quick lunch, but their food does better as a food truck than a standalone store. It is a fast-casual Texas-Asian fusion restaurant that is spacious, but the furniture is pretty bare bones. It is a nice concept, but the execution is not inventive or new. Cowboy katsu- 6.5/10 Fried pork katsu in a BBQ/teriyaki sauce over a bed of rice topped with pickled onions, green onions, and a sunny-side up egg. I prefer my eggs more fried, but the yolk was nice and runny. The katsu could be more fried, crispy, and flaky. Sauce seemed like a pretty basic mixture of BBQ and ketchup. Pork belly fried rice- 6.8/10 I love the fried rice, it was savory, salty, sweet, not too oily. Pork belly is juicy and chewy; it's hard to get pork belly wrong! Feels like a homecooked cheat meal I make for myself haha. Bourbon pepper steak- 6/10 Steak and peppers were good, but no special twist or anything that stood out. You can get this at your local Chinese takeout for about the same price with a much larger serving. Not sure if I would return because the recipes are basic, nothing really wow'd me, but nothing wrong for a relatively cheap bite.

    Delicious Asian fusion restaurant! Tried the BBQ brisket eggrolls, bonito brussel sprouts, brisket curly fries, shaken beef, pork belly fried rice, and brisket pad thai.

    Pork belly fried rice & brisket egg rolls
    Maria E.

    Fun fusion joint that combines Texan and Asian influences. The pork belly fried rice was tasty with tender and fatty pork belly. The brisket egg rolls were good as well although I wished the brisket was juicier. Great flavors overall. Love the vibe here. The space is pretty big with just enough decoration to entertain the eye. They were also playing killer Southern jams (e.g. Tammy Wynette). Friendly service. Clean bathrooms. Ample parking.

I've been on a Bun Bo Hue kick and while I have yet to find one that I've enjoyed more than regular pho, Huynh's was probably the best I've had yet. 4.3/5 The Duck Tea Leaf Salad was bright and very refreshing. Ordered as an appetizer, it was huge and was close to being a meal all by itself. I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this. Served like a Vietnamese affogato, it came with a cup of coconut milk with coconut ice cream along with an espresso of Vietnamese coffee. Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together. Highly, highly recommend. 6/5 On top of all the amazing food was the service. I had just arrived from the airport and came close to their lunch closing time. They welcomed me graciously and without hesitation. As they began their lunch and I was finishing mine, multiple staff members paused their meals to refill water check in, etc. for not only me, but the other few remaining stragglers of the lunch crowd. Huynh is every bit worth it. I will be back each time I'm in town

As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi!

We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
