“I like coming here for lunch because it's not too busy and the food comes out fast. They have a cool lunch special $12.50 which includes an entree & appetizer. I recommend the Avocado tofu rice bowl. They also have vegan ramen and/or you can substitute most of their other ramen bowls to make it vegan. Servers are really nice and well trained. Soft music vibes in the background. Lowtop bar and hightop community table in addition to some booths and outside tables.“

“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!“

“We reserved a room for two hours for $30 an hour . The staff were friendly and helpful. You connect your YouTube to operate the system. The food is reasonably priced, the wings are so delicious. They spicy sesame sauce and soy garlic both taste great. I recommend stopping in with friends .“

“This was on my to-try list and it did not disappoint. Came in with some friends during lunch on a Tuesday and it was slow and quiet. The restaurant is spacious and bright inside. The waitstaff mainly speaks Chinese, but there are tablets you can order from on the tables. I got the beef brisket tomato noodle soup which was really good. The brisket was soft and super flavorful and the soup was tomato-y but did not taste like V8. I added in some of the chili oil and sambal that is provided at the tables and they enhanced the flavor of the soup even more. The bowl is also super large with lots of noodles and vegetables inside, so it was super filling (might even be shareable if you have a small appetite). I tried some of my friend's fish (same soup) and it was super tender and incredibly flavorful--I liked it more than the beef that I had gotten. We also got the brown sugar rice cake which was okay. It was crispy on the outside, but not that chewy. And there was a brown sugar filling on the inside which was super liquid-y and came out hot. The filling did taste a tad medicinal which I did not dislike, but did not like either. Overall, a great experience, will be returning!“

“I left atmosphere blank because I just got my sandwich. I ordered it and had Uber Eats deliver it, but it is the best Turkey & Swiss sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I can tell it’s fresh and I feel totally confident eating it. Which I don’t order food a lot because I’m always afraid of. …. Well, I’m a Germaphobe and super picky so I have a hard time trusting restaurants. My daughter orders from here every time she comes to Houston. Anyway it’s very good.“

“The motif was a little too modern for my tastes. When eating traditional Vietnamese food, is it too much to ask that the atmosphere at least suggest the culture? The service was excellent and the food was decent, but I prefer culture over modern cuisine.“

“I can't believe I still haven't wrote a review for Pho Sapa yet. This place is amazing, every time I was there, it is satisfying.The restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, their english is not very good but trying very hard to help you with your questions about food knowledge.My favorite dish is the big beef bone, I think it is a side dish which is about $5, it came in a huge bowl full of big big beef bones. The bones are flavorful, has good amount of meat on it and easy to peel off. I can never finish it and always bring it back to my dog. And my dog loves it too. Their signature item was the dry pho with soup on the side, it came with the special sauce to mix with the dry noodle, side veggies to make the dish more fulfilling.Pho is always great, their soup is clear, definitely brewed a long time not so much MSG taste in it because I don't have to drink so much water afterwards.Price is fair, very good place to have a nice inexpensive lunch or light dinner. Might have to go there early since they do run out of soup.Highly recommended.“

“I wasn’t sure what to think pulling into this sorta sketchy parking lot off of long point but boy am I glad to have stuck it out. Really fantastic food and service! I had a delicious bowl of chicken pho that came out fast and piping hot. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“The saying goes "if you want good Phở, you have to go to Chinatown." Well folks, I live 45 minutes away from Chinatown and I'm glad Pho Ben proved that expression wrong. The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese food includes chả giò, gỏi cuốn, bánh mì, cơm dĩa, bún thịt nướng, mì, and phở with prices ranging from $5 - $12. The restaurant is located in the Heights with a modern feel and it's truly impressive that the prices are so reasonable.“

“I’m writing this review a little late. I went in In December with my sister and her friends and tried their broth noodles. We each loved our own choice of soup. I got the ‘kakuni’ it has a salty taste to it which I like when paired with the noodles. My sister got the ‘Niku niku’ this has a flavorful broth. It reminded me a lot of the Vietnamese pho.When I came back with my friends after January I got the ‘mentako cream’ (I think I spelled that wrong) with katsu. I liked the cold noodles, but the noodles weren’t very filling (I could have just been really hungry). The broths were more filling and are still my favorite.“

“The new AYCE menu is a sweet deal and offers super high beef while costing a fair amount of money. Without the AYCE option, it ends up costing too much to feel full here. I like the location being away from main Chinatown area as it has become too crowded and stressful on Bellaire. Would return to Shabu Squared as I was very pleased with the quality and service!“

“This is honestly one of my top ramen places that I've tried in Houston. I had heard that the ramen here is very authentic, so I had to try it out for myself. I came here on a week night for dinner, and unfortunately, they were a bit understaffed. There appeared to be only one server for all of the tables, so it did take a while for him to take our order. I'm writing this review a few months later from when I tried this restaurant, so I hope that has changed now. He was very friendly though. I tried the tonkotsu gachi ramen. It was VERY delicious and flavorful. It didn't feel overly heavy like some other ramen places that I've tried. I can say that this does taste pretty authentic. I like the location of this place too because I live around here, and it's easy access for people around the medical center to go to. I hope this place stays here for a while! I would absolutely come back.“

“I'm overwhelmed by the service provided by the lady who runs this place. It was spectacular. The food was excellent. It's not a chain restaurant so it's almost like eating a home made food. The lady was happy to recommend the best options. She explained what it was made of, so if U are not familiar with Pho soups she will tell U everything U want to know. On top of it U can have a nice chat with the lady about other stuff. If U want to experience her real joy of serving food and her friendliness and family atmosphere - come and visit. The place gets crowdy on Saturdays, so it's better to go there any other day. This way U'll get the most of it. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often!“

“The Peking Duck tasted good but quite pricey. It’s only allowed to order the whole duck from the restaurant, not allowed to order the half duck. The whole roasted duck is for $45 now, and it came with the duck soup. The flour tortillas for wrapping the sliced duck meat and scallion were too thick and the sauce was a bit salty though.The service here was fine. The staff members came to check on us for several times. But I would not say they were friendly, as I did not see the smile on their face all the time when checking on us. They looked so serious.Parking: The parking lot is quite big.“

“Great flavor but the quantity is a bit small and the price is too high. Normally this plate runs at $12 with more slices on it. Very good flavor, very original but the quantity is very little for the price. Normally a dish like this costs $12 and contains more slices.“

“Hidden gems at the corner and need to be shout out guys!!I have tried multiple times just to explore everything on their menu lol according to the owner, this is a big franchise in Korea and California and they're very first location in Texas.Their signature is Galbi Jim (spicy braised beef rib) and Bossam (premium boiled pork belly wraps), dumplings, noodles and other hot pots are so good.In the beginning, i thought it's expensive since the price on the menu, so I just stopped by to try cold noodle and the original Yukdaejang noodle but i ended up was surprised by the bowl is biggg and i saw the hotpot of another table is huge! So..yeah i came back with my friends and tried several things again and again lolSmall menu, consistent tastes, big portion, and great service. What else are you looking for right? LolP/s: don't forget to get coffee candies when they give you a check“

“I selected the chopped ribeye box with an extra side of egg rolls. All was fresh and flavorful... This was my first time at Roosters, and it reminded me of a Vietnamese Chipotle. You can pick your base and meat. Service was fast as I ordered all to go... I highly recommend trying if you are into Vietnamese food...“

“I can’t believe I’ve never been to this place before. We can in for dinner past 8pm and it was still packed! We didn’t have to wait long for a table, just got seated within minutes of walking in. We ordered pho, vermicelli bowl and a banh mi. The broth was very very good, noodles had a slippery texture and meat seemed fresh! Not too crazy about the banh mi but the pho and vermicelli bowl made up for it. Service was awesome, food came out quick. Will definitely recommend this place and come back to try more items on their menu.“
“Oh that pata was so delicious. This dish was recommended to us by the shop owner. No disappointment here. Crispy exterior and moist and juicy on the inside. Don't let me get started on that dipping sauce. That sauce just highlighted that scrumptious pork knuckle. It was so good we went back and ordered again. New owner and better food.“

“This was by far the best experience I've had at a Olive Garden in a very long time, from the time we walked in the door and was greeted by a female (maybe the manger). Our waitress was absolutely awesome (she had a high bun) our food was FRESH came out quick and my drink was very good!!!! This location is a five star in my book ☺️“

“So happy to have found this place via a recent recommendation who raved about their dumplings & kalguksu (Korean noodles in hot soup). My wife & I ordered the 2 hot soups & dumpling combo (which offers a $4 saving) and my son ordered the galbi (Korean BBQ shortribs). The food was on point in terms of genuine Korean food taste & the portion size was pretty decent at a reasonable price in this day & age. I also enjoyed the kimchi that was served as a side dish so much that we took the leftovers in a to-go box! I would definitely like to return to try the other menu items!“

“Since I'm always on the go during the week days, I had to force myself to eat something really quick and I wanted to stay away from fast food. I'm glad I came here. Sat down right away for a party of 1. They came and took my order within 4 min, ate, and left all under 1 hr. I think it was closer to 45 min and I'm a SUPER slow eater. The broth here was really good! I wasn't expecting it because I was so worried about time. The second that broth hit my lips, I knew I made the right choice for lunch. I've never been to this location before but I'm definitely coming here again. If you need a quick bite to eat, nothing is quicker than pho. That's pho sure.“

“Had been told to go try the yummy bowl – which contain a short rib in it. The meat was really good.I wouldn’t go there to get pho. Noodles and broth were not great.My partner really enjoyed the salted lemon drink.Our pork and shrimp fried dumplings appetizer was really tasty.A lot of the food coming out of the kitchen looked really good - especially the fillet, fried egg, and spam.Parking: Not enough parking for all the restaurants in the entire area.“

“We love the banh chung here a lot after we had tried “Vietnamese shop” and “Crab and shrimp cake” .I think the owner somehow should have the sign ( his son has autism also is serving table. parents anyway ❤️)so customer understand. Whenever we crave for banh chung and fish cakes, this restaurant is the best (their rice paper is special cake)“

“Looks like a hole in the wall, cause it is! Delicious, fair prices, and great folks. Don’t let the appearance scare you away. Try it for yourself. Plenty of parking, and they even have an old school drive through. They don’t give you as much food as they used to, but the restaurant business is tough these days. Still worth it for sure. Seating area is tight, but I usually take it to go.“

“Update - Service has improvedThree stars only because the food taste good. Otherwise it will definitely be closer to one for the experience. Used their online order platform to place pickup order at 11:50 am and their confirmation said ready in 20 minutes. Arrived at the restaurant and the food wasn’t ready per the waitress. She said needs another 10 minutes. So no problems there, although it looked like the order was never entered or started. Restaurant wasn’t too packed at that time. 20 minutes later food haven’t finished and the waitress did apologize for the wait. Another 10 minutes and I see food getting packed thinking order is finally ready, but found out all the items getting packaged was for a take out order for a dine in customer. That’s the first issue: if there was such a large togo order, why would you tell a customer 10 more minutes. After another 10 minutes another customer receive their Togo order I approached the waitress and questioned my order, she mentioned 3 more minutes. Second issue is the wait time, 20 minutes online order and another 45 minutes at the store with total wait time of an hour. Once I opened the box another surprise; 1. the order mentions no green onions for one of the items and 2. I was given the wrong item, one of the order was supposed to have ribs. Basically had to wait an hour to get the wrong order.During current times, really want to support local businesses. But businesses has a responsibility to ensure order is correct and order ready time is accurate for the customer.“

“I love the newks q and everytime I’m by a newks I have to stop for one! (We don’t have one close). Darius, in the cater department, has been there the last two times I have and he has gone out of his way to give exceptionally kind customer service. And everyone else was very kind too, and eager to help me as I approached the register. My experience is always good at this newks location I hope they keep up the great quality!“

“The reviews on the kimchi is true, one of the best I’ve had from a Korean restaurant. The atmosphere clean and the service is very kind and attentive. The portions are huuge! I actually accidentally came here because I typed in the wrong directions for a different Korean restaurant but decided to take a risk since I saw that this restaurant was rated highly. Let’s just say I won’t be going to the other restaurant anymore and will be coming here for my Korean cravings from now on!!!“

“Ambience was great, I thought their set up was really cool, kind of like an assembly line. Staff were very friendly and warm. Vietnamese beef (Bo Kho) had deep rich flavor, and meat was very tender. I would only suggest adding a noodle option to go with it. Egg rolls could use some improvement compared to Pho Ben’s on N Shepherd which is my current gold standard. They weren’t as hot and crispy and didn’t come with the usual pickled carrots/daikon and herbs. All in all I would definitely go back to try more things.“

“This Korean eatery, let me tell you, has always been our number one choice! Can you even fathom it? It's also the ultimate Korean restaurant chosen by my child! It has become an integral part of our existence. I mean, who would have predicted? The astonishing range of accompanying dishes they offer is incredibly remarkable! And the cherry on top? The cost is extremely budget-friendly! I'm at a loss for words, to be frank.“

“Was a little hesitant due to never eating there before and being a tourist. But was happily surprised! The service was great, we were able to be seated quickly and food came out quick as well. Workers were very kind. The atmosphere is nice, air conditioned and welcoming, there is a fish tank and seating is great. The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best pho I have ever tasted.Vegetarian options: N/aDietary restrictions: I am pescatarian and was still able to order a pho without meat.Parking: N/aKid-friendliness: There was a fish that could potentially entertain kids, there was also some families in the restaurant. Nothing inappropriate.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp in the parking lot.“

“We have tried a decent amount of items on the menu and not a single one disappoints. My husband fell in love with bánh bột chiên (fried rice cake) here even though bot chien wasn’t his thing before. He also complimented the bún riêu (crab noodle soup), it’s hard to find a place that actually serve good, authentic bún riêu here. For me, I really enjoyed eating cơm Tấm (grilled pork with broken rice) and hủ tiếu (rice noodle soup with ground pork). However, although most of the food items we had tasted were pretty decent, the Trà đào cam xả I got was good but it was too sweet for my taste. Service was good. I would recommend trying out this place if you have a chance!“

“As one of the most famous hot pot chains out of China, I feel strongly that MaLuBianBian's presence alone legitimizes Chinatown as a true enclave of the city. Meaning "side of the road" (马路边边), this Sichuanese (#1) inspired spot brings a slightly unconventional approach to the thriving all you can eat hot pot scene. The eclectic decor is meant to mimic the Chengdu food scene with the glow-up Chinese character signage, colorful furniture, and artistic murals. Even the music has been on point (#2), as well as the ventilation for the mugginess. Visually, the place is quite unique relative to its competition and definitely has the look and feel down, 100%. To get food, it's mainly self-serve. Instead of a buffet spread , it's freezers and a sauce bar. The veggies and meats are all laid out for everyone, so there's not real choosing wisely. Truth be told, the broth selection matters more than the foods that they have laying out. The price now is $29 for the whole experience and I'd recommend ordering the crispy fried pork and brown sugar rice cake from their snacks / appetizers. The service could be better and by better, I mean faster and more polite. They're all Mandarin speaking and a little slow on getting everything including waters and napkins. It's not much to ask for when everyone is serving / cooking everything for themselves. There's plenty of parking in their shared lot. They accept credit card but definitely prefer cash. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique hot pot experience in the heart of Chinatown. __________ (#1) If I'm not writing Peking for Beijing, I'm definitely not writing Szechuan. (#2) And sometimes dominated by Jay Chou.“

“Great place! It had gluten free options for my wife and had very good service. I was clumsy when I dropped my glass of water but my waiter Thien and Levi quickly came to rescue and cleaned up after me! The conjak noodles were great even though it was gluten free along with the broth, tofu, noodles, bok shoy, ginger, and bean sprouts. I also had the best kimchi fried rice. I’ll definitely come back for happy hour for the drinks. Thorn and Levi very friendly informative service while we navigated the menu. Will definitely be back.“

The white chicken pho has roasted garlic that makes it sooo tasty!!! I come here just about every other week, it’s just that good!! Delicious crunchy eggrolls too! Totally recommend!! Just be patient with the staff. It seems like a family owned restaurant and they don’t have too many waiters but they’re all very nice and attentive.“

Very crispy! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for Veg options in the area!“

“Came here for lunch yesterday and my salad was delicious. I had to come back after trying their Greek salad. This time I tried the harvest salad. FOOD The salad was so good that we haven't gone back to chick fil a since lol. The harvest salad has a bit of everything including feta, grapes, cranberries, walnuts and they all compliment each other very nicely with the dressing. I also ordered the tomato soup. Omg it was so good... a little salty but very good. Does the soup not come with a roll? I wish it did. I got a soup and salad and only got one very roll. My coworker only wanted soup but it appears that they only sell cups not bowls so she opted for a salad. PRICING This time I didn't get chicken because I was super full last time and didn't finish the chicken. The protein is extra. But you do get a good portion. The chicken is an extra $3.50. The salad itself is $9.99 for a small. If you order a salad with chicken you will end up paying almost $15 bucks and then a tip of top of that because the tablet you pay on will ask if you would like to tip. If you're comparing about the price, these are downtown prices, what do you expect. I always get the small it's super filling for me... I haven't ordered a large so I can't give pricing on that. CONS The ordering process menu is very confusing. Like I couldn't find the menu online and my coworker didn't know what to order so she got a Greek salad but she said it was addictingly good. So for us awkward people that don't want to build our own salads, I wish they had a clear menu posted. Also confusing is what the salad comes with. Does it come with a croissant? Does it come with chips? Idk it got super awkward when they asked me if I wanted some and didn't know if it was an add on. FEEDBACK Love this place, love the salads. 100% would go here for a salad than anywhere else. Lastly, I would say that I wish they had a soup/salad combo. Even if the salad was a little smaller. A small salad and a soup was too much food. Ended having the soup the next day. Still tasted very fresh.“
