    Wow! Amazing food! Great amount, great quality, very balanced flavours, friendly staff, fast service! Everything tasted amazing. The fried rice was exceptional! Impeccable! What a steal for the price - you can easily spend $20-30 per person and get a feast! Super recommended!

    Awesome Vietnamese restaurant. Great service and great food. Owners are very hands on and attentive. Got many good recommendations from my server and was happy with all of them. Place is clean. Heard parking can be tight on certain days but my experience was ample parking during lunch. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved the food here! I ordered the hot ginger tea and a duck salad with fish sauce to start, it was good but after adding the fish sauce that took this dish to an entirely different level of wow. Then for the entree, I ordered a combination fried rice and it was phenomenal. I could eat here every day!

    Huynh impressed me right off the bat with big authentic Vietnamese flavor! The lemongrass beef was fantastic with lots of flavor and tender beef. It was not greasy at all which is a nice add. The egg rolls were very good but not as stand out as the beef. I will be back to try other things! The staff was very friendly, the restaurant is a nicely decorated place to sit and enjoy the meal too. Lastly, the bathroom was nice and clean!

    This place lived up to the excellent reviews. Will definitely go there again. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and supper nice. My wife's mom is off the boat Vietnamese and wanted to go back the next day if that tells you anything. She is not at all easy to please, andwanting to go back the next day is the ultimate compliment.

    Best Vietnamese food we've experienced. Service at Huynh restaurant is exceptional. As first time visitors, they took the time to go over the menu with us and offer us some excellent recommendations. Food looks good and it tastes good. Portions are pretty big as well. Parking available and walking distance from the dynamo stadium. Take out available. We'll be going back. Definitely reccomend this restaurant.

    The best (not so hidden) gem! One of the old school restaurant in town. After multiple renovations over the years, the store is now sporting a modern, sleek look. Conveniently located close to downtown Houston, near the Minute Maid stadium, perfect to stop by for a quick lunch. Get the Banh uot thit nuong and Mi Quang. Can’t pronounce? Just show this review to the waiter. My go to dishes every single time. Also get the Phoenix rice, and Vietnamese style beef steak (only Saturday lunch), you’ll have a great time here.

    What a yummy dinner! Had the chargrilled pork wrapped in soft rice paper and the phoenix chicken rice plate. Wished I discovered the place earlier of my conference trip. I would have been able to try the other menu items. Will be back next time I am in Houston.

    Wow this might be the best Vietnamese restaurant in town! Prices are spectacular considering the food quality, location, and service! I had the best pho here, and the staff is simply fantastic. Highly recommend you check this place out, it’s worth the drive from any part of town!

    Huynh is a nice Vietnamese restaurant- a favorite. It’s definitely authentic, the dishes were great, our table ordered a bunch of different things to try. The star of dinner was the wok- fried noodle cake dish, its spicy, fully of protein, umami- so good, all on top of a noodle cake, which was crunchy and chewy. I loved the texture of the noodle cake. The way Huynh prepares this dish is very unique, most Vietnamese restaurants do not offer it. Must try if you’re in the area.

  • 5/5 Joe A Flores Cooking with the Flores Family (Flores F. 5 months ago on Google
    Shrimp and pork spring rolls fresh and crisp not chewing. Nut sauce was ok too. Vermicelli bowl with char grilled shrimp and tofu was good. Nice size shrimp chard perfectly tofu pieces could have been a bit bigger to mach shrimp. Next time I'll order extra condiments and more spring greens and extra veggies. $25 with two dollar tip. Pricey but walking distance from work closed it for me. Definitely do it again soon

    Very good! Service is excellent. I tried duck salad, bo Luc lac, and Vietnamese egg rolls. Everything was very good. Definitely high quality steak in the shaking beef. Excellent when hot and fresh! Prices are definitely a bit higher than other Vietnamese restaurants for the quantity received. 2 appetizers and shaking beef were 40$ bill. Would return.

    The outside didn't look like much but the inside is beautiful and clean!! Totally clean and modern Food is very authentic with lots of flavors. They have a few authentic dishes you can't find in most vietnamese restaurants like banh cuon (rice rolls). They are closed sundays! Must try!!!

  • 5/5 Luke O. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is worth the visit. Food was outstanding, me having the pho tai and egg rolls and a friend having the stir fry we were not disappointed at all. The price was very affordable and service was some of the best service I've had in a while. I will be tasting many things they offer in the future!

  • 5/5 Hector R. 1 year ago on Google
    GET THE DUCK SALAD. Get anything honestly. I pick from the menu at random every time and I don’t think there’s a bad dish here. Also BYOB. Bring some Riesling and some friends and go to town. Incredible spot

    Top 3 Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston. The beef tenderloin dish comes with an in house pepper sauce, 10/10 recommend!! Quick in and out lunch, and the staff were fantastic.

  • 5/5 Fernando X. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is tasty and the portions were generous. The service is always great. I also love their teas and coffee. The plate is the shrimp stir fry with vegetables, a must for seafood lovers.

  • 5/5 Aliza B. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the shrimp and broccoli stir fry. It was amazingly delicious and super filling. The dish came with an egg roll and a bowl of pho broth. There were a surprising number of shrimp in the stir fry. I was pleasantly surprised! Came here at rush hour and although it was super busy, the staff were quick and friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Kevin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great dinner here before a concert. They had a good selection of Vietnamese and Asian-inspired food options. We had the roast chicken plate and the lemongrass and chili tofu with some crushed rice. Both plates were very good and flavorful. Portion sizes were right on and the prices were fair, given the location. They were at capacity and there was a short wait, so plan ahead. Check them out. I will be back!
