Not only do they nail the flavor but they also use fresh ingredients. Highly recommended even for picky Vietnamese eaters. Ambiance is alright, they play traditional Vietnamese music which is a little loud, maybe turn it down a little bit and play some other music that's easier on our ears . Service was really quick, got our food within 5' after ordering.

I'm a fan of this very, very unassuming place nestled in the heart of a small strip mall. If you feel like getting your hands dirty (cause you know, make your own wraps), this is the spot to go. We got the combo platter for two which is ginormous and more than enough to share. Don't forget to add on the rice paper wraps to complete the combo! Combo comes with a few different varieties of meats, tofu, veggies, and noodles to stuff nicely into the wrap. Def worth getting. Banh Canh flavor was on point and full of similar proteins as the combo platter, just in the soup. Still delicious and worth getting! Service was pretty quick overall. Would come back

I had this place recommended to me from a friend and I decided to come here during the week for lunch. When I walked in I was greeted and gestured towards a table. The hostess/waitress was very kind and friendly. Although she spoke limited English and I spoke limited Vietnamese (but learning), we were able to understand each other. I enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. It seemed a little old school but it just made me enjoy the vibe even more. There was Vietnamese music playing on a TV/speaker, which again just enhanced the experience for me. I loved the authenticity of this restaurant. I ordered the Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm: 1. Bún Đậu Chà Thịt ( vermicelli, tofu, grilled pork pie, pork), (1 phần ) S, which was the portion for 1. For a split second, I thought maybe I should order the 2 phần or portion for two. Let me tell you, I would have not been able to finish a larger portion. I also ordered 1 order of Chả Giò Tôm Cua Xuân Hương (prawn - crab egg rolls). I had even toyed with the idea of ordering the Bò Kho + Bánh Mì. I wish I could have but I'm glad I did not. I did not anticipate getting this full off of these two dishes. For the Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm, I also ordered the Bánh Tráng (Rice Paper), which I used to wrap and roll the various ingredients up and dip into the sauce. Speaking of the sauce, I was warned that the shrimp paste on this particular dish would be stronger than usual. I did think the shrimp paste was more potent however I thoroughly enjoyed it and did not have a problem with the odor at all. Then again, I love durian too, so no surprises there. They will give you a pair of kitchen scissors to cut up the various ingredients like tofu, cakes, and pork. Just wet the rice paper in the water provided to get it damp and soft and then get to rolling. It's way harder than it looks and gives me a new appreciation for the art of making gỏi cuốn. I ate everything on the platter. The Chả Giò Tôm Cua Xuân Hương were excellent, wrapped in lettuce and dipped into a sauce I was unfamiliar with but that was very tasty. I finished all of them as well. After this, I had no more room but I do plan on coming back to try a few more dishes like Bún riêu ốc and Bò kho + bánh mì. This is a great authentic Vietnamese restaurant and if you can get past the aesthetic that some people don't like but which didn't bother me at all, you will discover some outstanding food inside. Don't miss out!

Waking up this morning wanting some Bún riêu. Ordered Bún riêu and canh bún. I like Canh bún better since it has water spinach and larger noodle (same kind used in Bún bò Huế). Small size is big and the broth is hot till the end. Both dishes are delicious. The place is in the same strip mall with T-Mobile. Plenty of parking.

It is quite a Small mom and pop restaurant. The service is good if you speak Vietnamese. I ordered trà dàu means peach ice tea ( quite good) it's sweet and tart and full robust peach flavors . Quite nice for your palate . I also ordered another drink nuoc mát ( cool drink ) literally translation . It's a drink like tea but not tea . It cooked in variety of herbs and sugarcane . Extraordinary delightful little drink what soothe your soul . For dinner I ordered bún riêu óc ( snail tomato soup) it was delicious with the sweet ( not sugar sweet) broth cooked in tomatoes and shrimp/crabs paste with escargot. It is very authentic and delicately delightful. I also ordered bún dâu mâm tôm . It's consisted of vermicelli noodles tofu pork belly and shrimp paste fried with cilantro mint basil . Super tasty and true to form of the Vietnamese food . Of course I could not finished either dish because I was full.

The food is great. However, I am worried about the cleanliness of this restaurant since the floor is very dirty; I am shock when seeing the waiters wipes everything on the tables to the floor and the used tissues are everywhere. The owner of the restaurant talks to her friends on speaker phone which is very annoying. It is also so awkward because we have to hear others' stories for many times and very loudly.

Boy! Where do I start? Hands down one of my favorite place to eat on Bellaire! The place may be small but pack with with flavors. My favorite is their Canh Bun, adding a side of Oc. Other options are good as well like Bun Rieu and Banh Canh. Either way you can't go wrong with any selection.

I was here with couple of out of town friends for the 1st time. It was suggested by another friend if not I honestly would never go here. Surprisingly the food is amazing. The restaurant ambiance is not so well decorated but the food is so good. Apparently this place is well known since people came in and out constantly the whole time we were there. And the main dish is the Bun dau mam Tom. I saw nearly all the customers ordered that dish and of course so do I So glad I found this place and definitely will be back in the future. Staffs were also friendly and kudos to the 2 person who worked super efficiently last Saturday nite. Price is very reasonable

This is my go-to for some authentic Bun Dau Mam Tom - which is a Vietnamese platter of vermicelli noodles, pork belly, fish cakes, tofu, cucumber, and veggies. The fermented fish dipping sauce was also amazing - concentrated and flavorful. Service can be improved a little bit but overall a great experience!
