50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston

“Very good service and superb food! A must-try when visiting downtown Houston.“

“Amazing food & the best service!!“

“Full disclosure: I’ve been coming here since college, UH Campus. Go COOGS!!! Hooooooooooozzzzzzzz House?!!!!! ….. teehee

So clearly, they don’t pay me to advertise & they don’t have to because I come here whenever I’m downtown for anything. I call ahead and take it to Katy.

I know this place before it was here. Before, it was across the street.

These peeps are legit. Just come here and you won’t be disappointed. This is my staple go to is the anything really.

Today, I am getting the bahn mi for Chris & I. I love all their spices, especially the home made spice, it is so nice!!! Here a pick of the treasure I’m bring home.“

“A good test for a restaurant is how it performs on what should be an “off night” in the middle of the week on a Wednesday.
Annam’s kitchen met the mark! The service was too inconsistent and not on par with a restaurant of this price point and acclaim, especially compared other upscale dining experiences in Houston.
The Annam ceviche is beautifully presented though the traditional Vietnamese flavors overpower the delicate white fish. The mango salad with shrimp was well balanced and the pork jowl lettuce wrap may have been the best dish we tried there. Lamb chop was flavorful and cooked to a perfect medium.
Unfortunately the service was too spotty. We arrived on time for our reservation, the restaurant was half empty yet we still had to wait five minutes for our table to be ready. No one at the bar bothered to check on us or ask if we needed anything while waiting.
It took almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our drink order. We came close to just walking out and leaving. No explanation of the food, recommendations, etc when we did get service.
Aside from one gentleman with glasses who brought out one of our dishes and explained it, the rest of the front of the house staff seemed like a collection of people they had picked up from the mall that day and asked if they wanted to work a dinner service that night. A woman who I presume was a manager on duty came by to check on us after we already had our food and by then we felt it was too late to bother giving our opinion of the earlier mishaps.
We appreciated the yummy dessert they offered for a birthday we were celebrating — which was some type of pandan cake.“

“Easily the best banh mi in Houston! They are 20 minutes away from us but we still make the drive when we can. Note that their drinks are on the less-sweet side, so if you want yours really sweet let them know! The employees are really nice!“

“Everyone I have brought here has been impressed by the food. The food is hot and fresh and consistent every time. Other Vietnamese restaurants taste bland now because I always compare them to here. I have tried the Pho Dac Biet, Bun Rieu, Cahn Bun, Specialty Bahn Mi, fried egg roll, and shrimp fresh roll. Portion sizes are enough to eat half at the restaurant and take the other half home for another meal. I especially appreciate the waiter who usually wears a hat, not sure of his name but he helped explain menu items and encourages me to try new items every time. He always has a smile and is very proud to have people try food from his country.“

“I love crawfish!! My go to“

“Great Customer service and friendly staff. Food came out fast and smelled delicious. Soup was the best I’ve had. I would definitely come back“

“Glad I came across this Viet-Cajun fusion place as a social media recommendation. The flavors offered and value were exceptional, and we had a great experience with food, service and atmosphere. I think most customers are probably local from Westchase but this place deserves way more publicity.

We ordered the hush puppies, Bo luc lac/shaking beef with fried rice, honey lemon pepper wings, and Southside Cajun pasta with shrimp. I always thought I didn’t like hush puppies because they’re usually so bready but these were the best I’ve ever had. Kind of like a honey biscuit + cornbread combo with an incredible crispy buttery texture.

The server let us know about the 10 for $10 wing deal, awesome, and the wings were insane! Crisp, flavorful, never got soggy. Need to try the regular lemon pep next. The pasta and shaking beef were both perfect and hit the spot.“

“el mejor arroz frito que e comido“

“Bánh Mì Bon is a great and friendly place! Love the food and the customer service i get every time i come! Highly recommend!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat, when I’m home, and have been eating here for years🥰The food is always delicious ❤️💯🙏🏾🥰“

“Definitely worth ordering“

“Food was hot and good. Could've had more spice but edible and it hit the spot“

“Had lovely service from Tony. Great tea, and hospitality.“

“My favorite restaurant in Houston! Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, GREAT food! I live just south of Katy but make it a point to eat at Quan Yin at least once a week.“

“Very clean restaurant and delicious food“

“The shaking beef is soft. I love it! Mintmelon tea is delicious! Very reasonable prices. Food is 10/10“

“I came here with my friends and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was and how warm and welcoming the service was. The owner and all of the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. They even offered complimentary sweet soup for customers, which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture.

Everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh, and the overall dining experience exceeded our expectations. I will definitely come back to this restaurant whenever I visit Houston. Highly recommended!“

“This is the Thai place you were looking for. It is simply amazing, start with the infused water. And the soup. It just comes out, and is delicious. No clue what it is, but trust me, it is amazing. I had the Pad ke Mow, flat noodles and chicken. Again, amazing.“

“Great craft beer selections on tap and very good food!“

“Wow we ate lunch at the new Viet restaurant on Eldridge Parkway and it was excellent. Service was great, oysters were outstanding as well as the spring rolls,steamed dumplings and Pho. Great atmosphere also. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Pho and More has become one of my favorite places to eat! The service is always so friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. The pho broth always has the perfect flavor, rich, comforting, and so consistent every single time. I may be basic, but the chicken pho is my go to and it always makes me feel good!

The grilled chicken salad is AMAZING. It’s so fresh and flavorful. The chicken tastes like it’s marinated with lemongrass, which gives it such a great flavor without being overpowering. And the dressing, I seriously think I could drink it!

One thing I really appreciate is that I never feel guilty eating here because the food feels fresh and healthy. Highly recommend Pho and More to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food and warm hospitality. Big shout out to the sweet family that runs it; they are some of the kindest people!“

“We always love our late night eats at Mony’s anytime we’re in midtown. Fresh quality ingredients, best sauce and cheese around just makes the pizza great. Large menu with all the Italian pasta specials, and now serves breakfast and large range of desserts, too. You’ll never leave hungry. Great service. Maria and Joe make it a point to greet you as friends, and tell you about the new recipes. So glad I’ve got leftovers to enjoy it again tomorrow!! A+ family owned and operated.“

“This place has great food, great teas and great coffee. Very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. I’m a regular, I have tried everything on the menu as far as food and working on the drink menu. So far everything is good and the price is fair. The staff is incredibly friendly, Ashley, Ruby and Thuy and the male barista have always taken good care of my family and I, and our orders are always correct. Even when we get a bit picky on certain items and how we want them. They always accommodate us. This is a great place. I’m usually always on the go so I don’t stay, but place is very nice and calm. This is my regular spot now. The staff is really amazing. Thank you Ashley, Ruby, Thuy! My family and I always feel welcomed“

“Amazing place, the food is delicious“

“Went there for lunch since I was on that side of town for work and got it to go. It was delicious! I got the shaking beef, shrimp fried rice, and egg rolls. I appreciated the pieces of garlic cloves with the beef. I will be back even though I live 40 minutes away! The service was great and the woman cashiers was extremely nice.“

“First time trying this place based on an article I saw from Eatery and it did not disappoint! It was so satisfying that I decided to write this 5 star review right away. I got the banh mi thit nuong (bbq pork baguette) and the seasoning was just right with a slight buttery taste on the baguette. The baguette was soft and fluffy yet still maintained a little crispiness on the outside but not to where it will injure the upper roof of your mouth. Anyway the banh mi thit nuong reminds me of this other place I used to love but stopped going there because quality went down. Glad I tried this place and this will be my go-to banh mi shop from now on! I will definitely be back to try the other banh mi! I hope they maintain their quality!“

“Fast and friendly service. Pho broth was rich and savory. Chef came out to check on us. They really care about their customers!“

“They have the best Hot and Sour Soup! I have missed Miss Saigon since they moved from their rice village location. I’ve tried other Vietnamese Hot and Sour soup and nothing compares. Their banh mi and spring rolls are delicious. When I was pregnant and had an aversion to beef , they happily made me a meatless banh mi. ☺️🤤 I can’t wait to introduce my little foodie son to Miss Saigon.“

“Great food and very friendly“

“Best dang pho I’ve ever had in Houston I gotta say which was odd cause I didn’t expect it to be in this area where less viet ppl live but mannnnn highly recommend and their summer rolls were good too but phew I could go on all day about their pho. Only thing is it was pretty basic nothing crazy special but also note they will give you extra bean sprouts if you ask free of charge unlike wha the menu says that extra veggies cost money if you ask only bean sprouts a little more I think they’re more lenient has“

“Bánh bao, Bánh mì, Bò né ở Thiem Hung BakeryCafe rất ngon“

“Review as of June 2026. Love this place. The lady is so kind and caring. Food is amazing!

True mom and pop restaurant. Owned by a couple with their son helping the heavy lifting. I believe the dad makes the food, mom greets the customers. The mom is so caring and truly cares about the service and food quality.

Ordered the banh mi and com tam. They have different banh mi options, I particularly got the cold cut and grilled pork. They really stuff it with soooo much meat. The cold cut was amazing!Sandwich itself can last you the whole day.

Amazing service, the lady really demonstrates care in the quality of the food by walking by and asking if you like the food and what you don’t like about it. The food is super flavorful!

Will be back to try the other banh mis. Apparently the meatball is popular.“

“Tai Kee is one of those places where you can tell the food speaks louder than the decor. Family-owned, welcoming, and honestly some of the best comfort food I’ve had in a while. I heard their fried rice is packed with flavor and the pho is rich and comforting. My fam had the egg noodles which are definitely a must-try! I had the vermicelli noods with the beef and it was great!

Their moon cake is 🔥the tarot is very soft and very moist but you have to eat it the day of!

If you’re looking for trendy Gen Z aesthetics and neon signs for Instagram pics, this probably isn’t the spot. But if you care about authentic, delicious food made well, this place absolutely delivers. Definitely would come back again!“

“First time here, and will say we will be regulars especially with the daily specials! Had the new cheeseburger which was outstanding, the char was brilliant, the flavor amazing and not greasy. The happy hour drinks went down a dream and the wings are A1! So much more to explore on the menu next time will post pics! Service team are everything you want in hospitality!! 5*“

“went to meet a friend halfway between cypress and downtown for dinner and found banh mi n more! both got the brisket pho and i got a side of egg rolls. they were both soooo good. 10/10 would recommend! service was awesome — everyone was very kind. very cute place!“

“Great authentic Vietnamese dishes. I especially enjoyed the banh xeo! Light and crispy!“

“Great creative cuisine Vietnamese food restaurant that offers a good atmosphere indoors and outdoor.“

“Stopped in for the first time today and I’m so glad I did. I ordered the Pork Banh Mi and shrimp eggrolls to-go and everything was excellent. I was in a rush, and they had my food out fast. The banh mi was incredible—tender grilled pork and perfectly crisp, soft bread. The place looks simple from the street but is clean and welcoming inside. I’ve definitely found my new go‑to lunch spot. Great food, quick service, and very reasonable prices.“

“Arrived after 1pm and it’s was quiet, still have take out order customer. Ordered the spicy noodles “bún bò Huế” and it’s excellent, the best I have in Houston (better than the one in Bellaire). Taste and looks like the one my brother in law cook. The place is clean, organized. The service from the woman and the elderly man make me feel like I’m in a full service restaurant. They’re friendly and looks happy to be there. Would definitely go back.“

“It's a little hole in the wall restaurant... But the food is excellent! I had the #26 pork sandwich and #9 salad bowl with pork with extra his sauce.... Outstanding! My wife has the #26 with an order of spring rolls. We drive an hour to go there and it's worth it every time!“

“Those fresh spring rolls and that dipping sauce were honestly the highlight of my night after the Astros game. If you are a cute guy, consider this your sign to say hello because I am easily the best thing you will order all week. Looking forward to meeting you.“

“Perfect bahn mi. -- terrific crusty, tender roll, excellent grilled chicken, very flavorful and well presented in its cute little basket. Nice decor, excellent service, clean, nice ambiance. love this place -- our standards for vietnamese are now a whole new level. YUM!!“

“My first time going. I had the pho combo, my dad had the seafood pho, my mom had the chicken pho, and my sister had the pad Thai. The food was freaking awesome. I knew it was gonna be amazing when I saw how rough around the edges it is. The service was awesome as well. He was very attentive. I need to go back to try something different.“

“If you like Vietnamese “Bánh Xèo” (a.k.a. Vietnamese crepe or pancake), then visit this restaurant and go nowhere else further. This restaurant serves world’s best Bánh Xèo. It’s that simple.

Bánh Xèo here is so big, so crunchy, so tasty….It’s not even debatable! And the fish sauce that comes with it was so carefully and beautifully prepared that we would award it as world’s best fish sauce ever! And the greens that came with it: so fresh and so plentiful…. We counted a total of 6 different types of greens. It’s world’s best greens that come with a Vietnamese crepe!!!

We were treated well as customers. The waiting staff on our visit happened to be a friend of the owner as we were told and was very personable. She treated us with a karaoke version of The Crickets’ “More Than I Can Say.” That song was released in 1960 and is timeless. As timeless as this Vietnamese Bánh Xèo….We never get tired of eating it here because it’s that good.“

“The food is delicious and worth recommending“

“Decided to finally try this place using the advertised marketing from back of my Kroger receipt, straying from our usual go-to place from down the street. Though, pricier but you get a LOT more food and tastier, so overall a good value. We both got the lunch combo C for half pho and sandwich, egg roll, and a lemonade. Pho was definitely more authentic and double size portion from our usual go-to, same for the one Vietnamese egg roll. I liked it came with lettuce and carrot to roll as default without having to ask for it. The size of egg roll and filling was satisfying. I had the grilled beef and my son had the pork banh mi. Both was filling on the protein, they don’t skimp out so a big plus but the bread was hard and stale tasting due to the way they warmed it up, and that was the only negative. Freshly made lemonade was also good. Server stopped by several times to ensure we were okay. After the third time he checked in while paying, I decided to share my feedback and he didn’t receive it too well based on his reaction so there was bit of exchange which then embarrassed my son. A man profusely apologized sincerely and offered to make up for it as we were leaving. I appreciated it but I was not expecting anything back. My intention was to provide constructive feedback for improvement so they will continue to thrive in the competitive restaurant business in the area.“

“Cana Tea & Coffee is wonderful and delicious. I love this place! Come and Taste!“

“The jasmine cream bubble tea actually had enough bubbles to last me through the entire tea! Tea itself was spot-on: I could taste the jasmine and the cream and it had just the right amount of sweetness. The chicken banh mi was delicious! Good, crusty bread with really tasty chicken and the right ratio of bread to fillings. The right amount of food, too. I was comfortably full but not overwhelmingly stuffed to the gills. 10/10, will eat here again! I’m looking forward to trying more of the menu :D“
