    My husband has been before and wanted me to experience this cafe. He went in early summer and said there has been upgrades since, especially the receipt photobooth! It was so cute and they can send you the picture and video to your phone. They had cute washi tape so you can hang your picture on the walls. The interior was so cute and played a lot into their name. The drinks came quickly, but they only had two toppings you could order. I would say the green Thai tea was great and my milk tea was very slight flavor. If you ask for no ice, there is a top up charge

    Nice, clean, easy to ready menu and very inviting items with good pictures of them.

    Êmm Cafe is my go-to spot in China town for delicious, authentic Saigon-style broken rice. I took my friends. They all love the broken rice dishes by Êmm Cafe. I have also tried their pastry, which are very good to go with the drinks: coffee bun and salted bun. For banana cake, I think its a little bit sweet. Êmm Einspanner is really good coffee even though I don't usually drink coffee. Yet it is convincing Êmm Cafe is spacious, with good lightning. It might go endless because it is indeed very comfortable sitting here with friends, sip drinks, and talk. I also live their lovely decors. Service here is also super friendly, happy faces and helpful for customers. Last but not least, the Lovely corner is where you can take pictures of your happy moments with your family and friends. Love this place - Êmm Cafe! Wish Êmm Cafe and Team grow strong and abundant together! Best, Chloe

    Emm Cafe is a very cute, cartoon-esque modern cafe that is new to the Chinatown area! Very blue, yllow, and green color theme - feels young and whimsical. -- food/drink review -- They don't have almond milk. Only whole milk or oat milk and as someone who doesn't drink either of those, I didn't order a drink. I got a salted bun instead, which is their take on a salt bread. I thought it was pretty average - nothing memorable nor notable about it. It's not bad but not amazing. It doesn't have that nice bouncy chew factor as better salt breads do. I'd say it is just a solid bread roll. -- vibes, ambiance, and workability -- Lots of seating to do work. There is free wifi, water, and restrooms. They also have a food menu for little bites like a salted bun and patongo pork jerky. Patongo is the thai version of a chinese fried dough, so it seems like Emm cafe is inspired from both thai and vietnamese cultures. The menu is thorough with different drink options like vietnamese coffee, fruit teas, and matcha. They have some interesting flavor pairings too like a jasmine avocado matcha among other items. Service is standard speed, so thing notable there. Music is played at a nice volume and temperature is just fine.

    Good drinks, friendly service, and nice open seating area. So far I've tried the matcha with coconut juice drink and cashew avocado smoothie. Both delicious! I can tell that the owners are putting a lot of attention and care in their establishment. The menu is creative and covers more than just matcha and coffee - it goes into baked goods and even a rice plate meal. The restrooms are very clean and well managed. The staff looks like a determined team aimed to succeed. Well done! If I had to be picky, minor improvements can be for the tables to be periodically wiped down and cleaned. There were a few wet spots and a finished tray of food, but perhaps the staff was just a bit busy at that point. Overall, doesn't stop me from wiping my own table before sitting and enjoying my drink with the wifey!

    I liked the shop it'a a Vietnamese cafe. They have some food, pastries, and coffee/matcha there. I tried their matcha einspanner and it was creamy and tasted almost like ice cream. The matcha grassy flavor was subtle and so I think it's more milky with a hint of matcha. So, it tasted more like an ice cream milkshake if you will. It was really good especially If you're in the mood for a dessert. I'd come back to try the coffees. The inside is cute and spacious. They also had a selfie machine if You put in your order number you can take a photo.

    This is a cute and cozy cafe. A great place to hang out with friends, study or get some work done. There's a small photobooth printer you can use with your receipt number so make sure to keep your receipt! We ordered the Springberry Matcha Latte, Thai Green Milk Tea, and the Herbal Tea. The matcha flavor itself was good, not the best but better than other places. The Thai tea was basic and I enjoyed the herbal tea on a hot, humid day. Will come back to try their other drinks.

    Wait time wasn't too terrible on the day I went, given it was a Friday evening... the price was a little steep, but in this economy, it's to be expected. The interior was super cute and cozy as well. Anyways, the Matcha Einspinner at Emm Cafe was definitely one of the better matcha drinks I've tried from a cafe! Very creamy, not too sweet at 100% sugar, and you can definitely taste the matcha! I noticed they whisk it in-store too; the whipped cream aspect of the drink was good, but it can overpower the matcha a bit if you don't mix it well. But overall, really delicious & I'd return to try their other drinks! My friend enjoyed their coconut oat matcha too. :D

    Love a new matcha cafe! Emm Cafe is one of the newest cafes in Chinatown, and one of the best ones! With plenty of offerings from matcha to coffee to smoothies, and even food!, Emm has got it all. I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Avocado foam and it was a great pairing! I would have never thought of this combo. Both refreshing with a little sweetness to it and super creamy. For the matcha drinks, you can tell they use quality matcha based off of the vibrant green color. The space itself is great - it's comfortable and bright and super chill. One of the owners stopped by to make sure our drink was good and stayed to talk for a while, providing fantastic customer service, Highly recommend checking Emm out! I know I'll be back very soon!

    I got to try the jasmine matcha and the avocado coffee. The matcha flavor was lackluster, which was a disappointing because the color looked good. I think the jasmine overpowered it a bit. I didn't adjust the coffee, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste and not that strong compared to the competition in the area. Perhaps it was the avocado. I'd like to go back and try their other menu items. Customer service was good; the cashier walked me through the menu. It's also a cute place to study and hang out with friends.

    Came to check out the new cafe in bellaire and thought the interior was adorable! They have a receipt photobooth for their customers to tape their photos on the wall, and the colors and theme of the cafe are very bright and cute. I can tell this place care about their matcha quality and the way they create their matcha, and you can watch the baristas make your drink! I ordered the matcha einspanner and spring berry matcha. I like the einspanner and thought that the cream and matcha ratio was good, it was on the thicker side, but sweet and creamy 7.5/10. The spring berry matcha was a strawberry matcha w/ strawberry and matcha foam (?) and topped with chocolate dusted with strawberries. The drink was okay, the strawberry flavor was there but there wasn't anything special about the drink, it was a bit milky 6/10.

    Êmm Cafe is a new spot in Houston's Chinatown (Bellaire). They're quite popular for their matcha drinks. They also serve coffee, milk teas, and food! The inside was very clean and cute. Had lots of seating too! This day, I only ordered the coconut oat matcha. It was SO YUMMY. probably my favorite coconut matcha I've had in Houston. I definitely want to come back and try more drink options and some snacks.

    Springberry Matcha & Emm Einspanner

    Êmm Cafe was such a beautiful and aesthetics place, I loved the blue and yellow theme! The place was crowded on a Wednesday afternoon and it took a while for drinks to come out. We got the Springberry Matcha & Emm Einspanner. The springberry matcha was a strawberry matcha with some toppings on top. The matcha flavor was too light and the strawberry syrup was very subtle, overall the drink was ok. The Emm Einspanner was a Viet coffee latte and the coffee wasn't too strong, but it was still pretty good overall. The prices here were very expensive ($9+ per drink) even though the drinks were mediocre at best. Today was their last day for the 15% off soft opening promotions. After this they will be closed for a bit to get ready for grand opening. They seemed pretty packed already so I hope it will turn out well for them :) Loved all the decor and clean aesthetics, but I would try something else next time!

    Upon entering the cafe, it has a clean and cozy atmosphere. They also have a cute little receipt photobooth! Lots of different areas to take aesthetic photos. Their parking is shared with the plaza. During peak times, there may be difficulty with finding parking. There's a good amount of seats and outlets. I would definitely go here to study on the weekday. Their menu has a variety of options (matcha, coffee, milk tea, etc.). So far I've tried a couple of their matcha drinks. - Jasmine Matcha (5/5) - Matte Latcha (4/5) - matcha cold whisk (5/5) - matcha einspanner (3/5 too sweet for me) They also have some baked goods like coffee bun and salted bun. I've had their salted bun and it pairs really well with their matcha! They're currently doing 15% off during their soft opening! The prices are pretty average with their competitors. This place is definitely worth coming back to!

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 restaurant was easy to find, right off Main Street, and parking was a breeze. When we walked in, the restaurant had a modern look with a beautiful mural celebrating the homeland. We were greeted and told to sit wherever we'd like, so we picked a table and settled in. Our server came by with the menus, napkins, utensils, and plates, all neatly stacked, and then gave us some time before coming back to take our order. We ordered several different bowls of pho so everyone could try something -- salmon, steak and meatballs, and the combo (đặc biệt). Of course, we also had to try their dry pho. We also noticed they had a mango salad with a choice of protein, and since that sounded intriguing, we decided to give that a try too. The mango salad came out first, and I'm honestly still not quite sure how I feel about it. The mango was tart, and there was a creamy element that gave the salad an interesting texture and flavor. I did really like the grilled shrimp, though. Out of the protein options, I'd recommend the shrimp with this salad, although I could also see chicken pairing well with the flavors. Then came the pho. We tried several different broths, and they were all flavorful on their own. I didn't feel like they needed anything added unless you prefer extra spice or seasoning. I also really appreciated how generous they were with the basil. There was plenty to go around, which is always a win when you're eating pho! As we finished up, our server came back to the table with our check and small spoons filled with what looked like crème brûlée. We asked her what it was, and she said she didn't know. We mentioned that it looked like crème brûlée, and she agreed before walking away. I'm not sure if this was something complimentary, a leftover from another dish, or something we were supposed to know about, but it was definitely an unexpected ending to the meal. If you know what this was, I'd love to know! Overall, we'd definitely come back. The food was great, the pho was flavorful, and there were plenty of options for everyone. The service could use a little improvement. Our server seemed to have some difficulty communicating in English, and we could have used a few water refills during the meal. Nothing major -- we probably just needed to speak up more. Good food, easy parking, a nice atmosphere, and a family-friendly menu. We'd come back to try more of what Old Saigon has to offer.

There was a small garnish of pickled onions and shredded carrot that went so well with the pork bowls. If they included more of that, the bowls would have been star status. But they didn't. And they weren't. Overall, I had a decent lunch. Maybe next time I'll dine in to see if that makes a difference.
