Anything Goes!
My wife and I decided to have an early dinner here. The place was kinda out the way, not a lot of traffic. Nice place, food was good. Wagyu steak was cooked to perfection, the oysters were a little Salty but out server offered dessert on the house to make it better. The dessert worth coming back for. Our server was very attentive.

It’s one of my favorite places in Houston to recommend to visitors. I feel confident saying that you won’t find a place serving elevated, lovingly crafted Vietnamese-American food anywhere else. It’s a place that reminds me of my mom’s cooking, but also not quite. It can be a date place or a nicer-casual meal time with friends. It will almost certainly be a good time. It’s rare to find a Vietnamese place that my parents enjoy, but they were able to appreciate this despite being a fusion place, so to speak. I think they really liked the crispy rice and braised pork dish the best, along with the FOB. The former reminds them of when they were in Vietnam (plus I’m in love with the crispy rice texture!!!!), and the latter is so well done + hard to find! I also personally recommend trying the gulf oysters. It’s my favorite oyster dish in the city so far! The crawfish was a limited time special.

I am a huge fan of Christine Ha ever since her debut on Masterchef and was excited to finally have the opportunity to visit on of her restaurants during my visit to Houston.

We dined here on a Friday evening around 630pm, had a reservation for two people which was made on the same day. It was not too busy though and we could have still been seated immediately without the reservation. We picked a few items to try, found out they were out of a few menu items already (perhaps it was the end of the week for their supply). So was disappointed to not be able to try smoked beef cheek dumplings or soft shell crab, but we enjoyed everything else we ordered. Definitely recommend the braised pork with crispy rice.

Xin Chào, Master Chef winner Christine Ha’s restaurant in Houston was good but I wasn’t wowed by the food. Her other restaurant, The Blind Goat (now a brick and mortar) had better food, in my opinion. I got some apps and liked the Wagyu sliders and sidewinder fries with beef tallow aioli but the mushroom skewers were way too rubbery and chewy. Good atmosphere. I do need to have her famous Braised Pork and Crispy Rice dish.

Wow, I’ve eaten a lot of Vietnamese food in my lifetime and this definitely ranks in the top five. Lovely outdoor patio with fans and plenty of shade and access to parking. Amazing decor with in-house bar and private room for larger parties. Overall a beautiful space with top notch food and great service from Joseph. Highly recommend.

Went here for my birthday and they were very accommodating with our large party. Ordered the Braised Pork Crispy Rice, Wagyu Meatballs, Bao Buns, Texas BBQ Fried Rice, Smoked Duck Salad, Congee and Steamed Snapper. Oysters were Scallops are definitely my favorite. Not super traditional, but a wonderful modern take. The service was immaculate and very attentive. The menu is limited but every dish was cooked to perfection. Portions are great for larger parties or date night. Will definitely return.

All dishes we ordered tasted so good! Our favorite were the chef special pho and fried chicken, but we truly enjoyed everything that was set on our table. We will come again when we are in town.
