Place was small but lots of seating. Service was fast. Flavors aren't traditional-- more like modern version. It's not the best, but it's not the worst.

This place is excellent. I travel for work, and have for years. This is immediately in my top 5 places to eat on the road. The Pork Banh Mi was savory, a little sweet, full of flavor. The beef bowl with fried rice was filling and full of flavor. The lychee tea was refreshing, it was super good. With the sandwich, kids meal and tea, the meal cost about $18 after tax. Diana was helpful and knowledgeable. She was obviously passionate about the menu and their product. She walked me through the menu and guided me well having many excellent suggestions. Her service alone was worth a return. I had my food in about 5 minutes. The vibe is clean and feels a little street foody. They also had some beer options and snack foods if you are less hungry. Absolutely worth a stop. Without a question a 5 star experience.

Love love love their banh mi! It's such an amazing guilty pleasure to have banh mis that are somehow greasy and fresh at the same time. I just love it and it hits the spot every time. Their vegetarian option is delicious!

I recently tried the Bahn mi sandwich with grilled pork at Roostar, and it was fantastic for just $7! I chose to sit outside and was pleasantly surprised by their lovely small garden area. The prices are reasonable, and the food tastes really good. The staff is incredibly friendly, which adds to the overall positive experience. With inflation hitting hard, finding affordable and delicious meals like this is a win-win. I’ll definitely be coming back more often and highly recommend Roostar to others!

My husband said this is the BEST banh mi he's ever had. The pork belly is not to be missed. He's enjoyed Banhart mi sandwiches at many different restaurants. The place was very clean, ample parking, friendly and helpful employees. Funky vibe. Cute outdoor dining area. I ordered the box, and you get to choose the protein, base of rice or noodles or salad, and sauce. I had the grilled pork and it was delicious. The only miss was the garlic butter fries. They weren't bad, just no wow factor for us. Thai tea and matcha milk tea were terrific. We will definitely be back!! Probably tomorrow.
Why 5 stars? Because this is definitely one of the best banh mi spots in Houston. --- --- --- And the only thing more prevalent in Houston than banh mi is Tex-Mex, so that's some pretty high praise. Actually, it's unfair to just call this an banh mi shop because they have a ton of great options on the menu. But they have several different types of banh mi, and I really loved the OG. No notes - it was perfect. I also ordered some bulgogi fries and couldn't resist trying the coconut cream corn. Both were home runs. I've never seen coconut cream corn before, but it was everything you'd want it to be and something I think more restaurants should do. The bulgogi fries were really thick and curly, with all of the awesomeness piled on top. The manager hooked me up with a couple samples of the pho and the slaw. The pho was really enjoyable, but the slaw stole the show. I have never had anything quite like it and would never come back to Roostar again without getting this. It's a combination of unique flavors and texture in every bite that must be eaten by every future visitor of Roostar until the end of time. I've had multiple Roostar locations bookmarked for years and was very close to visiting one on several different occasions, but it just was never in the cards. Today, I made sure to finally stop in and am kicking myself for waiting so long!

So. Freaking. Good! I'm usually not in this area, but while working an event I ran over to Roostar to grab some lunch. I got the pork rice bowl and it was so tasty! Portion size is great for the price. They looked pretty busy around lunch time so I would order ahead to skip the wait!

Roostar Vietnamese Grill has quickly become my go-to spot for a delicious and satisfying meal. Today, I ordered two Banh Mi sandwiches, one steak, and one special, and they were both bursting with flavor. The combination of tender steak and fresh, crunchy vegetables made for an unforgettable sandwich experience. Plus, the free garlic bread I received with my Yelp check-in was a delightful bonus! The Thai tea was the perfect accompaniment to my meal, with its creamy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. And let's not forget about the grilled pork plate - every bite was a symphony of savory goodness. The ambiance at Roostar is warm and inviting, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Whether you're a longtime fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, Roostar is sure to impress. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be disappointed!
