50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston

“We had great service from a friendly staff. My husband loved his grilled oysters and the blue crabs he ordered. I enjoyed the tamarind shrimp- very delicious! Fried rice was bland so I wouldn’t get that next time. Overall great place!“

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I’m a sucker for sweet and tangy flavors and this really hit the spot!!! The juices (healthy drinks) are delicious and fragrant (I looooove both kumquat and coconut but have never seen the flavors paired) and the lemongrass kumquat is almost a bit savory. Soooo delicious.The lobster was perfectly cooked lobster was saturated in flavor even though gravy is light- and the noodles were perfectly garlicky. Finger licking good!!! The crawfish and shrimp were great too.Definitely make a stop in the area. We traveled about 45 min and it was worth it. Surprised there wasn’t a long wait at all! Definitely great for takeout as well.They are known for bún suông, and we grabbed it to go, as well as the chicken salad ?The owner is also super nice!“

“This has been my go to Vietnamese sandwich place for like 10+ years. The people are nice and super efficient. My favorite sandwich is the steamed pork/xa xiu. Think of it like thinly sliced pork belly with added Asian flavors. The bread is a buttery and crisp French baguette. This is filled with pickled veggies. Their other food offerings taste homemade. No frills. Just tasty! Enjoy!“

“delicious food and great service“

“SouthXSaigon restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its expert use of seasoning and bold flavors. Each dish is meticulously prepared, showcasing a perfect balance of spices and herbs that elevate the overall taste. From savory starters to decadent mains, the seasoning is spot on, enhancing the authenticity of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether you're indulging in their spicy crawfish or savoring their delicious fried rice, every bite bursts with flavor, leaving a lasting impression. It's a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Vietnam with a modern twist.“

“Very clean restaurant and delicious food“

“This is a small, little chill spot to duck into for some Pho on a rainy day. We got a few appetizers, the spring rolls and the fried dumplings. Both were good. But the star was the Pho. The broth was so good. We both got brisket and filet in it. Several people were coming in to pick up orders so you know it's good. We've already been back again.. Definitely recommend“

“Moon Rabbit has become one of our favorite places to eat! We live in Katy and it’s well worth the drive. Every dish we have ordered has been plated beautifully and also tastes amazing! We usually sit at the bar with our favorite bartender, Kaylee. She takes great care of us! I highly recommend Moon Rabbit!“

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

“I truly enjoy the dining experience here. The food is fantastic and an elevated expression of Vietnamese food. My favorites are the snow mushrooms, braised pork belly and the banh xeo. The cocktail menu is creative and has many options worth trying out.“

“It was pretty good, bowl of pho was flavorful and oxtail bowl was huge for the price I would recommend them.“

“Great Service drove over a hour to try it out for my daughter’s birthday. So worth it. They were able to quickly accommodate our large family of 15, seat us with no wait. Thank you for making our family experience wonderful…“

“Got the combo lunch (Noodles + 3 Vege + Soup) to go and it was not bad.1. Stir-Fried Brinjal 5/5 Not salty nor oily??2. Stir-Fried String Beans 3/5 A little too hard / fibrous :(3. Stir-Fried Vegetables 2/5 I don’t know why it’s bitter I really wanted to like em..4. Faked Meat Tofu 3/5 Tasty but too salty for me.. I even asked for no sauce..5. Vege soup 3/5 Could be better..6. Sweet Potato Sesame Balls 5/5 Good amount of fillings and not too sweet!7. Tofu fa 4/5 Nice“

“My wife and I stopped in for a quick lunch. Pho was amazing and bahn mi was huge and tasty. Egg rolls were delicious. Seating was available both in door and outdoor. Service was appropriate and ambiance was chill. My only complaint was they have hats for sell displaying the F word, which might not be family friendly.“

“Wow, wish they have a delicious Vietnamese Vegetarian Restaurant like this in ATL!!! OMG the Bún Huế Chay (Spicy Noodle Soup) is my fav!!! The flavor is on point & the Chile Lemongrass Sate is fire!!! The Canh Chua (Hot & Sour Soup) & Cá Kho Tộ (Caramelized Fish in Clay Pot) are flavorful as well. Even the name of this place is lovely. Hương Sen means Lotus Flower (my favorite flower), hence the beautiful Lotus interior decor. Def will come back when I’m in town to try other dishes on the menu!!“

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

“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!“

“This is NOT a review about the quality of the food, or service, or cleanliness of the atmosphere -thumbs up to all of that- but rather, more of a gentle but URGENT suggestion and a voice to the voiceless creatures in the fish tank; key word: FISH tank.FOR THE LOVE OF TURTLES, pleeease provide them an adequate amount of solid "land" to fully perch on. These are semi-aquatic creatures that need to also stay dry often times especially under the warmth of a specific heat lamp. ?“

“We ordered the cha gio, nem nuong, banh khoai, banh beo, and mi quang. All were delicious and fresh! Service was great and ambiance was standard. Lots of parking available even on LNY.Parking: Abundant free parking in a lot in front of restaurant.“

“Not sure why this place is not more popular....... the food is really very good. Most people seem to come here for the crawfish, but frankly so many of the other dishes are absolutely amazing. I'm generally not a fan of Pho, but theirs was amazing. The brisket fried rice easily one of the best friend rices I've ever had....... in general all the food we ordered was really very good! The only thing that put me off was the attitude of the waitress who not only behaved like it was a bit of a hassle attending to us - and the very few tables that were occupied - but she literally behaved like she was an owner of the restaurant. At one point I in fact even asked her casually if she was an owner of the restaurant (she wasn't!). Bottomline - this restaurant would do a LOT better if it was in a better location and had more better staff. Many other restaurants have come and gone in this location. As the old adage goes, in the restaurant business, it's all about location, location, location!“

“Good value for quality food“

“This is gonna be a great choice for you if you’re looking for noodles at midnight. I got the Egg noodles with saté sauce, shrimp, squid, and fishcake. The sauce is flavorful and well seasoned. The seafood is super fresh. Their menu is huge and I think they have all kinds of noodles that you might want, from soup to dry to stir-fry.“

“Always fresh deliciousness !!!!!“

“The food was pretty good. Service was good, but food was a bit slow coming out. I had the Beef organ stew and it was pretty good. I was full when I finished the dish. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived, so that was nice. The other dish arrived when I was almost finished eating, so it was a to go dish. Not sure what it was. The atmosphere was typical, not great, but clean.“

“Hand down the Best place in Houston Bellaire!!“

“great food they get to know thier patrons“

“Great food and cool staff nice place to hang out on wine check it out if get chance“

“Well we absolutely love pho! I mean the season doesn't matter we enjoy it regardless if it's the super hot or really cold. This was the first cold day of the season leaving the mall and wanted something warming for dinner. Our normal Bellaire pho restaurant closed last month so we needed to find somewhere new plus somewhere that stays open late since we sometimes crave soup late night on the weekends. Pho Ve Dem didn't disappoint, they have been added to our favorite list. Great soup, service was solid and the space is what you'd expect in a traditional pho restaurant. Bring cash or be prepared to pay with Zelle as they don't accept cards.“

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

“The Pho has good flavor and quantity, adding the lemon and the other things they give you give it an extra touch of flavor ? .When I go I order the largest size and extra noodles.One of the disadvantages is that it only accepts cash. ? (Sad face)“

“It's cash only take-out with limited seating. They have one of the best banh mi piled with goodies. The choices are limited though. Service is rushed so you better know what you want before you approach the counter. The thick banh mi is worth the frenzy.“

“Yummy! And cheap!!! I wish we had one of these closer to Fort Worth.The cashiers are so nice and helpful. I ordered the avocado durian boba and it was amazing! Not too heavy and just the right amount of durian. The Vietnamese coffee was good too! Definitely will be coming back here.“

“We went by before the lunch rush and were warmly greeted by the waiter. The Disco Dumplings and Chili Oil Edamame were both very good and were served very quickly. The Honey Chicken Bowl was good, but was made significantly better with a drizzle of the soy sauce from the Disco Dumplings dish. The Chili Oil Beef Ramen was lackluster, and was definitely closer to a pho than a ramen. The beef was tender but the broth was not overly flavorful and there wasnt much chili oil in the soup. It was a weird dish that seemed like it had a lot of potential to be a great ramen, but it needs work and thicker broth to be appropriately called a ramen“

“We have been coming here for years and it’s finally time to leave a review. This place has been around forever and it’s never packed but never empty. Lots of people order to go for their family parties and people come here for family dinners.We had gotten a haircut for my son next door and were hungry so we decided on this occasion to dine in.We had the Peking duck, black pepper crab, special salt squid, garlic snow pea leaves, and sizzling plate black pepper beef.All of the dishes were delicious but the stand outs were the squid and lobster. The squid is super crispy and the flavor was just right. The lobsters were a little on the small size but the flavors were delicious.“

“Great price! The perfect Vietnamese sandwich, best in Houston! They make their own meatballs and they add them to the special "thap cam" sandwich! The bread is longer and thinner than other Vietnamese sandwich shops, so you can enjoy the ingredients!Bathrooms need attention and the parking is crazy during lunch!“

“Outstanding pizza and service! This is a must do with a large group of friends or family. Also good for a nice NYC style slice of pizza. Coffee is great too.“

“Only offered Bun Bo Hue. If you are here for this one dish this place is pretty good. If you are used to eating in Asian countries this restaurant feels like that. Might be a bit different if you are expecting American style dining atmosphere. Offers sizes in baby, small and large.“

“Definitely worth ordering“

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

“This place is great. The people that own It and run it are incredibly nice people. The meats are high quality and the bread is superb. We ordered 20 banh mi for a party. She has everything all together when we picked it up. Nicely wrapped and labeled. Everyone at the party loved the banh mi. It was the best that some of them had ever had. Mayo was spot on. meats had good flavor. The do chua has a crunch and tang that you want. All the flavors went well together. Try it out.“

“the best Vietnamese Food in mid-downtown area- very best Banh Khot, Bò né in Houston! delicious egg rolls + nem nuong! every bite is delicious. high quality ingredients“

“Today I was near the NRG stadium and looking for something for lunch I came across this little hidden gem, I gave them a chance and they really surprised me, the girl who served me was very friendly and kind and she recommended the combined Pho which was spectacular, highly recommended. a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and the best was the service (5 stars), and you can also get a 20% discount from Monday to Friday. I will definitely return and recommend it 100%“

“My boyfriend, my mom and I came here on a sunday after Chuch mass for a quick lunch before heading out. My boyfriend and I got to the restaurant first and were greeted by 2 servers and said we could take any seat available. We went to a long table available and mentioned that we would have 3 people so the waiter came back with an additional menu for my mom. She hadn't arrived yet so we ordered some chicken wings first to munch on since we were hungry. The chicken was juicy and crispy! I enjoyed the flavor but it was just salty, not really spicy like we had thought it would be. At some point, we ordered our entrees, I got the Bo Ne and my boyfriend got the macaroni beef. My mom still had not arrived yet (until 10 minutes later) and then we ordered another bo ne for her. Service is good and the 2 servers were quick to bring whatever guests needed in order to enjoy their food without too much delay. It was fairly busy at some point as the Sunday Lunch rush was picking up and luckily we finished and left after my mom was done eating just as a party of 6 came in to wait for a table. I would come back again as the food and service with both great! pricing is fair and good for groups. They can accommodate probably party of 8 or 10 but more may be alittle chaotic.“

“Not all noodle shops are the same. This is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant where good food and friendly service are priority! The owners treat you like their own family and friends. The meals are fresh and the flavors are authentic but also unique. As visitors from out of town, we left happy, satisfied, and wanting to return again! Thank you to the owners. They’re doing a wonderful job!“

“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“

“Celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so nice to decorate the space for me. The food was also with delicious flavors that impressed all of my guests. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion with great food and exceptional service.“

“This place makes geat pho and is very reasonably priced! Bright, clean happy interior in a lesser-maintained older building. The parking lot is a disaster...BUT!!The food? Gorgeous, fresh vegetables, excellent hot tea, very nice noodle bowls and great, smiling service!??Lots of pretty pictures of their offerings already, so I didn't take any.My vermicelli soup, with chicken and delicious 'shrimp balls' was outta sight.Recommended!!“

“This place is top notch. We were looking for a different restaurant, but never could find it, so we ended up here. We are so glad we found this restaurant. The food was excellent. We got the Chrunchy Garlic Shrimp and the Black Pepper Steak. It was absolutely delicious, tender and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and super fast. The Ginger Honey tea was good too. We will be making this one of our regulars!“

“Stepping into Nguyen Kitchen, we were immediately struck by the freshness and flavor of every dish. The menu was a celebration of authentic Vietnamese cuisine, with each dish showcasing the perfect balance of spices and textures. Despite our attempts to capture the meal in photos, they simply don’t do justice to the vibrant flavors and colors we experienced.The service was remarkably quick and friendly, adding to the overall exceptional dining experience. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service are outstanding, making this restaurant a true gem.For anyone looking for genuine Vietnamese flavors and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be. Our visit was memorable, and I can tell you this is definitely the best Viet restaurant in Houston.“
