I visited Kau Ba with some friends in HT, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere in Kau Ba was undeniably cute, with a cozy and stylish interior that immediately caught my attention.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and I loved it. The food was delicious. It was simple and yet very fresh and tasty. It felt full and not bloated. The pork belly was perfect and the staff was very friendly. I look forward to go back and try different dishes. The whole experience felt very comfortable.

We were so looking forward to trying out Kau Ba as it came highly recommended but were thoroughly disappointed by our experience. It appears there was a recent change in management and turnover in staff, and instead of reducing capacity to adjust to the change, the restaurant continued accepting guests despite its inability to service as usual.

A unique upscale Vietnamese fusion restaurant. It’s got a very fancy yet classic viet ambiance, with a beautiful outdoor patio seating area. Lots of different options to choose from, and portions are worth the price. The wait staff was very nice, giving us her personal recommendations. I tried the Nước Mắm Wings (Fish Sauce), and they were very good – not very saucy, but still flavorful and beautifully presented. I wouldn’t recommend the Vietnamese Ice Coffee if you like the authentic form, as it’s a bit watered down, but the other options looked good. Will have to come back and try their many choices!

I’ve been twice for brunch and it has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants ever. The duck salad is amazing 10/10! The Kho Quet, which is only on the brunch menu, is also amazing. I’ve also heard the cocktails are delicious. I think they recently had a change in management because the staff has changed, which led to some small problems with ordering and paying, but nothing worth not trying out the brunch.

Cute and delicious Vietnamese restaurant. The brisket pho is a bit smoking and delicious. The wagyu beef roll with truffle is worth trying. The crispy pizza is a bit oily, but taste good. The mini lobster banh mi can be skipped. I would totally try a different banh mi next time looking at what my neighbor ordered.

i’ve visited kau ba a few times now and it is always a delight! really lovely food and very unique specialty cocktails. it’s a very chill vibe, both indoors and outdoors. you *have* to get the vietnamese pizza and/or f.o.b. crabs as appetizers! my favorite drink is the #lycheegang but you also must try the pho-loma at least once – it’s exactly what it sounds like, a pho-spiced paloma! the staff are also attentive and kind – spectacular service from anwen, cat, and george! definitely ask them for recommendations on drink pairings and what’s good. i love bringing my friends here on any occasion!

I ate here for the 1st time last night, and Kau Ba exceeded my expectations! I sat at the bar and had the Lychee Gang cocktail and ordered the F.O.B. baby soft shell crab, snails, street food shrimp, and shaking beef. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. Jay, the bartender, did a phenomenal job. He made an excellent old fashioned and provided some good vibes to go along with dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back!

One of my favorite spots in Houston, the food is consistently incredible and the cocktails are amazing!! Happy hour is an amazing deal, and once you try the candied salmon at lunch you’ll be thanking me.
