Lem's Kitchen & Lounge

Honestly, I’ve heard so many mixed reviews for this place, was very hesitant in trying it. They’re running a $9 special for Bun Bo Hue for the month of February. This is not a bad deal, bc normally a bow like this is like $16-$18 in Katy/Cypress area. I was down by Bellaire so stopped in for a quick lunch. The bowl of BBH came out piping hot and looks delicious! But it just wasn’t what I liked in BBH. The broth didn’t have a lot of lemongrass flavor but on the sweeter side. Had to use a lot of shrimp paste and adjust it to my liking.. somewhat. The meat portions was okay. It’s enough for me. But I was very disappointed in the veggies.. it was mainly just green leaf lettuce. Wish there was more herbs to it. Overall, it isn’t a bad bowl of Bun Bo Hue, just not my preference. But it is a good deal so worth a try. Service was great though. The lady was very nice and accommodating. It is a lounge like environment so expect a karaoke bar. But it was rather calm when I wast here for lunch so good thing!

Was here for happy hour which was 50% off drinks which was nice. They have specials every month , and this months special was Pho. Was quite tasty and full of beef flavor. Also had the bun Bo hue which was very good, but needed xtra chili sauce. Great place for get together as it has great Karaoke vibes and games. Conveniently located on Bellaire across the street from HK Food market. Thank you Lem for the great service and recommendations, will be back for lunch to try the rest of the menu

We went to this Lem's Kitchen lounge last night. Everything we ordered was delicious. I especially like the razor clams with spinach. The stir fry seafood noodles was good also. They play Vietnamese music and have karaoke also.

12/29/2025 Best Mi Quang I’ve tried so far. The waiter, he was so kind to explain all ingredients and give us good recommendations of Vietnamese food to try for lunch.

Looking for a place to eat after taking some shopping and taking a Tet photos at Hong Kong market. Wife was wanting bun bo hue this place popped up. When we walked in it looked like a small night club and we honestly weren’t expecting the food to be any good. We were wrong. As of now Lems bun bo hue is her favorite. I had grilled pork and rice. Pork was grilled perfectly with excellent flavor. Portions are also great size for price. Atmosphere had a night club feel which we weren’t expecting and came to enjoy. They were playing Vinahouse until someone started to do karaoke. The waitress/hosts were friendly. We really enjoyed our first experience here. We will definitely be coming back.
