This place is pretty Americanize. The portion is big. I ordered rice dish but it wasn’t the same as traditional Vietnamese broken rice. It’s about $15-20/ person. I give it a 3/5 stars bc maybe other dishes are better than the rice dish, I might go back to try different dishes.

“It’s OK, I’ll just take the leftovers home, and it’ll turn into multiple meals,” I whisper to my wife as she frantically tries to stop me from ordering half the menu. “The math works out,” I assure myself while adding an order of bone marrow I know she won’t like, meaning more for me. The cashier glances behind me, expecting a family of six. I redirect her attention by inquiring if I should order two bone marrows, “you know, just in case my wife wants more.”

Let’s start with the dishes I didn’t like: Nothing. Moving on.

Tastiness ranking:

1: The beef belly banh mi. Tender, flavorful, and packed with enough veggies to make a rabbit jealous.

2: Egg rolls. So good we resorted to rock-paper-scissors for the last one. I won… which meant she got the last one, apparently.

3: Vermicelli. Solid. Not life-changing, but generous portions boosted its score.

4: Bone marrow. Loved it but sadly during the same meal I was told that my understanding that it was cartlidge and therefore had zero fat in it was absolutely incorrect. Sort of killed the vibe.

5: Spicy butter noodles. A tasty filler dish with A+ portion size.

I black out. Next thing I know all the food is gone. My wife built a menu wall between us to shelter from the war zone. Fantastic spot with massive portions and sturdy to-go boxes that I’ll be sure to review next time… assuming I don’t have another “incident”

Best bone marrow treatment we’ve experienced! Lemongrass, garlic, ginger and a hint of sweetness, coupled with pickled carrots and radish, on top of the perfectly crispy baguette. Chef’s kiss!

I ordered the filet mignon pho and the broth was the clear winner! Savory, clean broth, no additional sauces needed. Great quick dinner choice for a cold day in Houston.

One of our favorite spots for Vietnamese. Big portions and good food. Order at the counter and they deliver to the table. Vermicelli, pho, and banh mi are always good.

Driver loved this spot! More food than one could eat in one sitting. They had a selection of loose-leaf teas I will suggest for the tea connoisseur to try! Worth visit 😀

Visiting Houston for a quick weekend and wanted to try the best Vietnamese cuisine … naturally googled. SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE!!!

I’m writing this review two weeks later and I am still drooling over my bahn mi 🤤

Ordered the Royal egg roll (crab, shrimp, pork); the Braised Beef Belly baguette; and some sweet tea thing they had.

The egg rolls were crunchy, flavorful, and so freaking delicious! You won’t go wrong with ordering that as an app!

Moving on to the braised beef belly…it was perfect! I wish I can have one now!! It’s everything you want in a bahn mi but a twist from the original style. They made it juicier with the beef belly…still retained the bahn mi effect with all the veggie stuffings. Just order it and try it yourself.

Btw - I ate by myself and sat at one of their stools on the high tops. It’s a cool place with updated Vietnamese decor and photos. Very casual but super updated vibes.

Kid-friendliness: There’s space for strollers. It’s casual enough where a screaming child is not too disturbing.

Always a pretty good meal and a good quantity for the price. A bit more seasoned than other places, but all comes down to personal preference.

My go to is the rice dishes. Either the chicken or lemongrass pork.

The steak and eggs is also a pretty solid dish.

I recently went here got 3 bowels of pho and 3 drinks for $70 next day we were all sick and upset stomach.

Came here on a cold rainy day that was perfect for Pho! We had the Buddha egg rolls and fatty brisket Pho. Manager and staff were helpful and the atmosphere was warm and inviting while Christmas music played in the background.

Les Ba'get in Houston brings a fresh, fun take on traditional Vietnamese cuisine, blending modern fast-casual dining with creative twists on beloved dishes. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is immediately inviting. The restaurant’s interior cleverly merges retro Vietnamese aesthetics with sleek, modern amenities. It’s a playful yet chic atmosphere, setting the stage for an exciting meal.

On our recent lunch visit, my companion and I tried a couple of standout items from the menu. First, we ordered the beef bone marrow appetizer—a generous, flavorful portion that truly hit the spot. The marrow was rich and savory, perfectly complemented by the crispy, warm baguette slices on the side. It's a dish that elevates comfort food into something special and satisfying.

Next, we dug into the butter chicken banh mi. The sandwich was expertly crafted, with a soft, yet crisp baguette, tender chunks of butter chicken, and a savory balance of umami flavors. The chicken was rich, but not overwhelming, and the freshness of the herbs and pickled vegetables added the perfect amount of brightness. Both dishes were impeccably presented, which is not something you often see in a fast-casual environment.

Aside from the food, Les Ba'get offers a compact but thoughtful bar program. They have a selection of beer, wine, and a few cocktails, including a creative take on the classic pho michelada—a refreshing and flavorful drink that complements the bold flavors of their menu.

Les Ba'get excels at offering elevated, modern Vietnamese food in a relaxed yet stylish setting.
