Bò-Né Houston

Really good bò né spot. The flavor is on point, super satisfying, and the aroma hits you right when the dish comes out. The bánh mì is crispy and pairs perfectly with the beef. The place is clean and nicely set up, making the whole experience even better. Definitely worth coming back.

The staff are really nice and the only redeeming thing about this place was their banh mi and pate that they give you as part of their bo-ne. We ordered the shrimp dumplings and you can tell it was frozen dumplings. It had no flavor and the shrimp tasted frozen. The dumpling skin was hard from the microwave. My 2nd mistake was ordering the bun rieu, I'm sorry but that travesty is not in any shape or form bun rieu. Never in my life had I tasted such a bland and awkward tasting bun rieu. I don't even know where to start with how bad it was. The smell was the first thing that hits you in the face and it was from this weird cut of meat with tendon on it. I want to say it was pork but it was oddly kinda beef like. It smelled horrible and it tasted horrible. Fried tofu was no fried and tasted like prepackaged store bought tofu that was just tossed in there. It was supposed to be bun rieu with crab but there was no crab meat. My wife orders their bo-ne original since it's their signature dish, this thing was microwaved. There's no way this plate touched a skillet or a grill since there were no grill marks or sear. Beef has literally no flavor and you literally gotta drown it in their dry sauce to get any taste outta it. It's madness how food can taste this bad. I'm going to stick to pho yummy or hem for bo-ne. This experience was like a giant lump of coal in my stocking for Xmas. 60 bucks wasted and taste buds traumatized.

Ah, this place ROCKED! 4 of us visited from Dallas. The other couple are Vietnamese and they were so happy to be in Houston to eat the great Viet food down there. One of the things that as a non-Viet that I enjoy the most is Vietnamese breakfast. I found this place via Google Reviews and this was our breakfast the day before we all headed back. Two of us ordered their standard Viet breakfast with steak. To be honest, the steak wasn't all that great. I should've ordered the ribeye. But everything else was pretty amazing. They make their own banh on premise, so it was nice and fresh. They gave a generous portion of pate, which my wife stole most of it and the bread from me. Meaning, she ordered something that she didn't like as much as mine. The sausage, whatever it was, complimented the egg, bread, and pate quite nicely. Overall, the experience was great. Nice and clean, good, friendly service. Would return again the next time we're in the area.

Very delicious food. Easy to have a low carb meal with the original bo ne. Very cozy atmosphere. Only the banh bao was not too my liking, pre-made frozen buns. The egg rolls were also tasty.

This review is for their banh mi only. I would never get their banh mi here again, I had order 1x BBQ pork with egg and 2x steak and egg banh mi. Their sandwich is so dry, the BBQ pork does not come with any pate and almost no butter. Their steak and egg is mediocre only not worth $10 per sandwich. BBQ pork banh mi - 0/5 Steak & egg banh mi - 3/5 I'll include pictures of how dry the sandwich looks.
