About Kau Ba

Kau Ba is a hidden gem in Houston, offering a luxurious and authentic Vietnamese dining experience. The restaurant's unique decor, featuring a vintage portrait and rich green walls, creates an elegant atmosphere. The menu offers a range of options, including the popular pho combo, with a velvety and balanced broth, and generous portions of beef. The grilled scallop is absolutely delicious, grilled to perfection and full of flavor from garlic butter. The last Helicopter cocktail has a clever name and is highly recommended. The F.O.B. (fried softshell crabs) and spring roll are popular appetizers, with the spring roll's texture being a highlight. Shrimp fried rice is also available, and getting a side or two of house hot sauce enhances the flavor. The Viejun boil with King Crab is a fun, interactive dish with a great mix of flavors. The interior is gorgeous, with a small, private parking lot. Service can be slow at times due to limited staff, but the staff is friendly. Some dishes like wagyu banh cuon and ribs are quite pricey, and the fish sauce may not be everyone's favorite. Despite some odor issues indoors, the food remains consistently excellent, making Kau Ba a great spot to explore Vietnamese cuisine and impress taste buds.
