50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston

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

“Took my 3 very picky teenage daughters here for some pho. They loved it. Slurped up most of the broth. I had the crushed rice and grilled pork. It was amazing. Love the sauteed green onions on the perfectly cooked crushed rice. Looking forward to trying their banh mis.“

“Such a great experience here! The man who works here is very sweet, kind, and incredibly hospitable. Even though I ordered my food to go, he made me feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of.

The pork roll bánh mì sandwiches are AMAZING. Very fresh, full of flavor, and generously filled with meat. The portions were very satisfying and made for a perfect lunch. I also loved how thoughtful the packaging was. They even cut out part of the box so the bread does not get soggy, which is such a smart and appreciated touch.

The Vietnamese coffee is so good. I added boba and it was delicious. They even placed the cup inside a bag just in case it dripped, which was perfect.

Everything was excellent from start to finish. I left feeling warm, welcomed, and very happy with my meal. I will definitely be back.“

“Amazing food & the best service!!“

“This a really good spot and the staff is very inviting. I ordered the Bánh Xèo, it had squid, shrimp, pork, mushrooms and sprouts. It was really delicious and filling. The egg shell was very light and crispy on the edges. I will definitely go back to try more items on the menu.“

“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“

“The crawfish & shrimp boil sauce was so hella good. It does not disappoint at all. Just trust 💯

The pasta, fries, & boudin balls was a hit too, if the seafood boil isn't your cup of tea.

Everything was so good, we had to order to go to have our kids try all this goodness.“

“el mejor arroz frito que e comido“

“I love to eat vegan food therefore I’ve been to come to this place many times before , this time I come back I found pleasantly surprise that this place just being renovated and it looks grander and nicer, the food still very tasty, prices are very reasonable as usual , I really enjoy it , I strongly recommend this place to every one you should try it and I am sure you wouldn’t disappointed, definitely I will come back again“

“Definitely worth ordering“

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

“We recently found this restaurant and we enjoyed every dish so far. The com tam is on point. Pork chop is tender and is marinated well. My wife had the banh canh Saigon and she said it was flavorful. The bun bo hue was also very flavorful. Staff is friendly and the service is quick. I will be coming back. Highly recommend.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“Very clean restaurant and delicious food“

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

“A lot of Thai restaurants in the area but Thai Jasmine is hands down the best! We’ve been coming here for years (when they have had other locations) and the food has always been consistently great. The owners are such great people and so nice. The food is also great priced! The Tom Kha soup is so flavorful and always a must get. The drunken noodles, pad Thai, fried rice, Tom Yum soup, and curries are other dishes you can’t go wrong with, we switch out between these when we go. There is something for everybody, and they have boba drinks/thai tea as well. Five stars always!“

“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.“

“Best Pho this side of town. I've tried pho at other places after coming back here a few times and now I'm hooked. I won't go anywhere else for pho. The service and the owners are the sweetest too 10/10 highly recommend this place.“

“Great food and very friendly“

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

“Amazing place, the food is delicious“

“Food was lacking in authenticity but well put together and flavorful. My lemongrass beef bahn mi did not taste like a lemon grass bahn mi, it tasted more like a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Portions are nice and price is great just not the place to go if you want authentic Vietnamese but if you don’t know the difference it should suffice. Service was great and fast. Place is clean. You place your order at the counter and pay before the you sit down and food comes out. It’s a different experience for sure but not a bad one.“

“Awesome place! Food is amazing!!!!! I can’t tell you enough how good the Banh mi! And the price is super affordable and the portion size was fantastic! The taste was great! The vegetables were fresh and the meat was seasoned to perfection! Customer service was second to none! The owner is amazing! She’s a wonderful lady! So helpful and kind, genuine care and sincerity is so refreshing. This is a must try Vietnamese restaurant! Hands down the best around! I unfortunately don’t have the pics to show you just how full and delicious the food was! I ended up eating it fast as heck haha.“

“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*“

“I come here all the time just to order two orders of their largest size egg roll order. GREAT FLAVOR and texture defo handmade or high quality for sure! Perfect for wrapping and lettuce with cilantro and basil, jalapeños, etc., and then dipping in the fish sauce they provide.

I’ve tried their soups as well and they are equally as awesome. Definitely don’t skip out on the other dishes other than the pho!!! Cause their Bum ba hui is very good! Sorry autocorrect wouldn’t let me type it without changing it xD their spicy pork soups and wonton soups are great too.

When I ordered and asked for to go boxes the lady at the register said ‘you ate TWO ORDERS?!’ Incredulously which I think thought was hilarious and awesome. They probably took it as a compliment that I liked it enough to eat two whole portions even for being a smaller sized guy lol“

“I live in the Greenspoint area and I’ve been looking for a good Chinese fried rice. After coming here this is now my place to go for Chinese fried rice. My other place that I used to go to that was 100% exceptional closed down because of the pandemic I hope this place stays for a long long time. I found my Chinese restaurant.“

“Brisket Bahn Mi with bone marrow butter and a cup of pho for dipping. Second time here love it. Absolutely delicious!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I moved to Austin 4 years ago and every time I come to visit my parents in Houston, it’s a must that I come visit here. The perfectly baked bread, the incredible pork, the fresh smoothies, the amount of toppings, THE PRICE??? Omg… the price!!! I miss these prices. So many memories of going here with all of my friends as broke teenagers just looking for a cheap filling meal, and always being met with love and respect from the staff. Get the grilled pork spring rolls, a grilled pork banh mi, and an avocado smoothie. If you’re asking yourself “is this too much pork?” The answer is no. It’s delicious, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. Mekong, I love you, never change.“

“Small, unassuming, mom and pop shop. The place was a little dark when we stepped in. You can tell it's family owned. Everyone was nice and friendly. They have Chinese and Vietnamese food options. I was craving bbq ribs so ordered Chinese dishes. My suggestion is to order anything lo mein. Really good. Their prices are very reasonable. If you don't care about fancy flair and fluff, this is the place to come eat. Food is affordable, tasty, and fills your belly. Note: watch out for the chili 🌶️ sign. If it says spicy, it is SPICY.“

“Huong Sen Restaurant Review
The spring rolls are really good, but the fish sauce is a bit too salty for my taste. The noodle soup is also good and flavorful. Cold drink Ginger and lemongrass is very special

Overall, a solid experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)“

“The food is delicious and worth recommending“

“One of the bear Pho and Vietnamese food in town“

“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“

“delicious food and great service“

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

“Kim Tai is a real jewel in the rough with the hole in the wall appearance giving way to outstanding food and super nice folks running the place. We had the rock n roll beef (pictured - delicious), banh mi with pork (solid), wide rice noodle with pork and bean sprouts (outstanding), bun with pork and egg roll (average) and crawfish (pictured - excellent). Overall, really good food and reasonably priced. Great service. Beer suitable for the food. Definitely would come back again when in Houston.“

“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“

“Very sweet little spot to pop in for with lots of unique menu options! Pho was a pleasant light broth and they were generous with the basil. Fried egg rolls were super fresh and delicious. Wait staff were friendly and professional. This was an excellent stop in.“

“Small and quaint Banh Mi shop, likely family owned, menu has banh mi and some meat and carb plates, staff is very friendly, I can speak of the very fresh and tasty banh mi with descent amount of fillings and a good sized baguette, price is great too.“

“Love everything about this place the pho is fantastic 🥰“

“highly recommend the shaken beef with fried rice C8 and beef sizzling“

“My wife and I love the phở here. The broth is rich and flavorful. The meat is so tender and the bo vien are delicious. Customer service is very good and the restaurant is clean. The best part is they open at 7A so people can get phở before heading to work.“

“YOU see this? I love it so much- Best Canh Chua Ca Kho To in TOWN“

“This is one of the places that is an underrated treasure, it’s so good and refreshing and has great prices. The owner who has run this place by herself for nine years is very welcoming and kind. Me and fiancé make a point to come here at least every month. I definitely recommend!“
