The shrimp and pork eggroll appetizer was fantastic. The perfect crunch and flavors made it very special. B1 and P2 soups are unforgettable. The pho broth is truly one of the best phos I've ever had. The garlic shrimp noodle is also very tasty. The noodles are perfectly cooked and flavored. My 4 year old loved it. My kids also enjoyed the fried catfish too. We will come back. What a gem of a restaurant!

I've been to this spot about 9-10 times already & each time I've dine in or take out my experience has been above exceptional. This place has gone through 3 name changes, before Quan Ba Ky it was called Crawfish garlic noodles. I don't remember the name before Crawfish garlic noodles but they were more focused on their soups especially the house favorite which was the "Bun Suong". Now I think their main dishes are the garlic noodles & their seafood boil. Usually when I come here I go for take out. I usually order the same thing. If I feel like eating soup, I'll get the "Bun Suong" which is still their top tier soup since the original name for this restaurant. If my budget is plentiful then I'll order some crawfish with snow crabs. I love the Bun Suong, it's flavorful, great umami flavor & the broth has a lot of depth. It's a very shrimpy flavored soup so if that's what you like, then you'll definitely enjoy it. The only complaint I have is sometimes the meats are a bit chewy. However the portions are generous. Another item that I order is the seafood boil. I enjoy their "magic mix" flavor. It's on the mild side. It's sweet, garlicky and buttery. Some people aren't fans of sweet sauce but this was perfect. I love their snow crab because the sizes on them bad boys are big. Idk who their vendor is but stick to it. At the moment the crawfish is at 8.99, I honestly don't think it's fresh but it still holds a bouncy texture. The only thing they need to improve on is having more flavor inside the crawfish versus having to dip the meat into their magic mix sauce. The manager is such a nice guy, he let me try the lemongrass limeade & I thought it was okay. It's a different take for a drink but I don't think lemongrass should be made into a drink. But if you like unique beverages then this is the one for you. Overall, great service along with good food. They did a lot of renovations from the first time I came so it does look better. They are located in a strip where there's really no traffic coming in and out. I did inform the manager and owner that they need to move across the street or a little bit further down on Wilcrest and Bellaire so they'll have more customers coming in. Every time I order to go, I'm the only one there or 2 customers in the restaurant. I really hope they make it because they make you feel at home & the food is very good. They also have Pho & Bun Bo Hue if you want to stick with the basics. Will I come back? Yes, I'll be back to try their garlic noodles with shrimp.

This is my first time writing a review for any restaurant, but this place was extraordinary. We came in during a late night and were instantly welcomed with outstanding warmth and hospitality. The food is affordable yet exceptional, and the ambiance is inviting and cozy. Overall, will be recommending to friends and family.

If I could I would rate this spot a 4.5. I love seafood so when I saw there was a new spot serving bun suong which is basically a shrimp ball noodle soup I knew I had to try it out. We came on a Sunday and were able to easily get a 6 person table without a wait. For food we had: Bun suong: 4/5 broth was clear and light but still flavorful, the shrimp balls were fresh. Garlic shrimp noodle: 5/5 this was so good and will be the dish that keeps me coming back again Banh bot chien: 5/5 this is my favorite one in Houston now (sorry A1 iykyk) It was cooked perfectly to where it was crispy but not hard Overall, service was a bit slow but since it's a mom and pop I didn't mind. I believe the owner himself served us and was very nice. Apparently this place gained some popularity for their "TikTok noodle soup" which imo was good but the other two dishes I got were better. I also saw they sell crawfish so once the season gets started I'll def be trying that out next time

Food is not all that great compared to other restaurants nearby. Service is not great, they charged us for a drink that we ordered but never gave it to us, same with some of the dishes we ordered.

The bun suong is as good as everyone says. Good service. Nice place. Want to try the crawfish
Bún suông was decent and very large in portion! Liked how all the ingredients were fresh. The eggrolls were fantastic. I'd like to come back to try the other dishes. The older waiter helping me was very kind and witty, but oddly in the end he made me get my own to go box which wasn't a big deal but I saw him getting it for another table. That's the wit of uncles for you!

Not only was the food authentic and phenomenal, the service was great! We tried the bun suong ba ky and taro cake. Both were fantastic!! I highly recommend if you want authentic and high quality food.

This place change to so many different restaurants. This one I'm impressed. The decor is meh but the food is pretty good. It's not that busy cause people don't know about it. They got the garlic noodle and shrimp since I can't eat meat on these next Fridays until Easter Sunday. I had the noodle special here, I'm blanking out on the name of it. This is must try if you want experience different food from your normal places on Bellaire. They do have crawfish and I'm going try next.
