I tried their new mushrooms taco for 3. I hope it was not poisonous. I was expecting sauteed mushrooms and I got crumbled mushrooms that did not look like mushrooms. On top of that the crumbs inside look black. Do not buy that taco.
The other tacos are okay. Wow this place is over hyped. Below average food. Had the 2 tacos Texas monthly says are must try tacos. Yea they are not must try.
Pollo guidada and lamb barbacoa on what seemed like out of plastic tortillas. Taco Bell's beans are much better than the beans here they actually taste like right out of the can. Les Givral's is a cash-only Vietnamese eatery that specializes in banh mi sandwiches.
The food here is super spicy and crunchy, and you'll be able to find some great protein options, like chargrill-meatball and chargrill-barbecue pork with pate.
You can also get rice sheets with veggies and protein if you're feeling really hungry, or go for the beef fried rice if you're looking for something more substantial.
Just wow. The banh mi are prepared on crispy, fresh baguettes, with the crunchiest of veggies and tender, flavorful pork.
The shop is super clean and staff are following health and safety guidance. This is the best Vietnamese food ever! In the whole of Houston AND surrounding areas! That being said when are you opening back up???? I miss you guys terribly. Patiently waiting! I check every once in a while hoping they came back.
Houston definitely lost out, always friendly. We came here for lunch just about 30 minutes after opening but the line was already long. Most customers just ordered to-go instead of dine-in. Their price is very cheap and even cheaper than in Vietnamese town in Bellaire.
All dishes are very delicious and huge. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to try Vietnamese food. The perfect cheap eats I drive by here at least a few times a week and finally today made the stop.
And I was delighted. The food is simply but tasty. As you walk in, the spring rolls are packed for choosing.
If you are fancy the fried spring roll they are on the corner of the display case. If you want a true Asian spring roll the 3-pack can remember what it is called that has Asian cured sausage, egg, dried shrimp, is the best. Food selection is great.
Be aware the quantity is Texasized: massive. All for 6 to 7 dollars which is quite fantastic. Bun mi here is very tasty, although no beef option. One thing I highly recommend is tofu anything here. In general tofu dishes are bland but the tofu here is seasoned so you taste it.
Happy eating! Show 2 more. At Aladdin, in the heart of Montrose, you can select from a variety of Mediterranean-style dishes, all at a fraction of the price of comparable restaurants in Houston.

We were looking for a small, casual hole in the wall kind of place to eat good food. There wasn't a lot of available parking behind the restaurant, though we found a spot immediately.
The restaurant greeted us with a variety of delicious aromatic smells of Mediterranean flavors. The service was fast and friendly.
The food looked extremely appetizing and was immaculately presented behind the counter. We were surprised at the very generous sized portions and delighted by the very inexpensive prices. Our food was fresh and hot! The smells that greeted may have teased our senses, though the flavors most definitely pleased our palette.
The restaurant has a relaxing, casual vibe and was extremely clean. We will definitely return and highly recommend if you're looking for great food with out breaking the bank!
They give you so much food and one platter us easily enough for 2 people. We left with so much leftovers. It does get a little confusing if you go order in person but you just go up to the counter and pick your entrees and sides.
It seemed a little disorganized but the food more than made up for it. The Lamb Shank slid right off the bone, I highly recommend it. I love Aladdin's! Everything is always made to perfection.
The best halal restaurant in Houston. I have had plenty of Mediterranean cuisine but this place had a taste like no other. The bread is like soft CRACK you just can't have a small piece.
I will be returning to this place when I'm in the neighborhood to pick up more fresh food with that undeniably delicious bread of theirs. Mentioned on 3 lists.
Fat Bao is an Asian fusion food joint that serves up steamed buns filled with a variety of different ingredients. The buns are served with special fat fries that are perfect for dipping in your favorite condiment. Some of the most popular items at Fat Bao are soft-shelled crabs, pork belly, smoked salmon, and duck.
Such a wide variety of Bao. Great flavors, and friendly staff. My friend and I ordered 7 or 8 different Bao as well as the home made chips and we loved just about all of them! Bulgari, Pork Katsu, and fried fish were the absolute best. The Memphis and Thai were good, just needed a little something extra.
The tofu and crab were our least favorite. Still yummy, but just not jaw dropping. The chips were super hot and fresh and everything came out so quickly! Will definitely go back again! Downsides: The prices aren't listed on the board, and I didn't realize you only get one Bao instead of multiple.
A lot of plastic waste. Pros: The bao tastes really good and they offer a variety of options that allow you to try new things without having to get a lot. The vibes are really nice here, they play good music and the workers are nice.
Really love the Bao buns here, my favourite is the Spicy Thai - the sauce is spicy and delicious. The Bao is fresh and soft and worth trying. They have various options and i am sure that everything tastes good. One Bao is small and may be should try more than one.
The Fat fries here are good too, the kimcheenaise tastes in the fries is really good. The fries are thin and crispy. Overall it's a good experience. It's a self service restaurant and I recommend finding a seat before you load your hands your order!
Absolutely Loved this spot. The food was great and service was awesome. Took my daughter for her Birthday and she Loved it. We ordered the Pork Belly, Curry Beef, Duck, and Spicy Chicken Boas and the Yummy Fries. Everything was very Good. Nothing special about the Yummy Byrd but the fried bun is a nice touch.
The Crab Daddy is good but the bun is way too oily. It would have tasted better if they could just remove the excessive oil from the soft shell crab before putting it on the bun.
Very disappointed. We were excited to eat here after reading good reviews and seeing a packed restaurant. Service was fast and friendly but the food was either bland or the flavors did not mix well. Had the spicy Thai bao and it was a chicken finger dipped in sauce.
The chicken fat fries are bits of chicken nuggets with fries and hot sauce. Would not recommend this place.
Stay organized with a to-do list, packing list, shopping list, any kind of list. La Calle is a mexican restaurant that serves up some of the best street tacos in town. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is classic and delicious. Finally got the chance to try this place and I was not disappointed.
The menu is nice and simple, the place has plenty of seating and the food comes out fast! The food definitely tasted like I was back in Mexico! The food had so much flavor, it tasted fresh and the stuff was spicy which I LOVE! They also have different deals for every day of the week.
Definitely want to come back to try other stuff. Great location, by downtown. First time here since Im from out of town and I loved it.
Love the vibes, how authentic the inside of the restaurant is. The menu was real easy to read and meals to choose from. The tacos were delicious.
Staff were nice and friendly when ordering food. Went over to the bar side for a few drinks and had a great service from the bartender named Poncho. He offered us a special Margarita which was prepared with love and we felt it. I ordered with Roger, whom wad equally awesome, the Brirra tacos which was my 1st time trying and won't be my last.
Every other restaurant has a very high bar to meet. First timer and will hopefully return the next time I'm in Houston. I had a great experience Dined in. Let them know it was my first time they explained how simple everything was. Got the Birria Torta it was delicious 🤤 The bolillo was so soft , everything just melted in my mouth.
They have q salsa buffet which made it even better!!! My favorite is the spicy avocado salsa! Tried the Lemonade with chia seeds! Great touch! Definitely would come back. Me and my wife were in town for a few days and spent the majority of it eating tacos. It was late on a Friday night we were exhausted after a work event and took an Uber La Calle as it was recommended to us.
The food and the service were fantastic. We ended up going twice in as many days. Tortillas were fresh, all the meat options were seasoned so well.
I appreciated all the drink options as well. Good Dog Houston is a hot dog joint that specializes in creative franks and buns with housemade condiments. They have a patio for pet parents to enjoy their dogs, as well as an ice cold beer.
Nice establishment with inside and outside seating. Not too big on hot dogs for dinner but I might be a fan of Gourmet hot dogs. First meal all day so I had to go all out.
Ordered the Ol' Zapata,quite scrumptious especially the bread, it had a sweet taste that complimented it well. Also the aioli dip with the fries something crucial, I'm telling you.
The Fizzy Mint Lemonade, was decent if you not a fan of lime I wouldn't go for it. All in all it was pretty good. I tried Good Dog with little expectations outside of a higher priced lunch. The place was clean with good service. I looked at some reviews before I decided to go there and got lured by the Beer Cheese Soup.
I ordered the soup, a side of their fresh cut fries and a Rodeo Dog on a recommendation from a staff member. As I was in line another patron in front of me ordered the Rodeo dog so that gave me some confidence in what I was ordering I maybe should've went basic on my first go The dog is loaded with stuff..
some ingredients that go together and some that should be left on the side. The beer cheese soup was good, but I needed more buttered bread. It was really sour and the buttered bread they give on the side really went well with it.
The fries were excellent. They make all the condiments in house. The ketchup and aoli were a little bland, but some table salt livened them up good. I'll be back when I'm ready to drop some dime and I'll be sure to go a little plainer on the dog if I get one.
Less is more here. I went there for their Chili Cheese Dog. It was good. I definitely enjoyed the fries, which were seasoned to perfection. The prices are pretty reasonable for this type of restaurant.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a good lunch spot. Overpriced food for its Flavor and Portions. They LOOK Good but Aside from the condiments, me and my Friend didn't taste any flavor from the Hot Dogs or the Mac and Cheese, which was a tiny portion.
And the Home Made Cream soda didn't have much taste or sweetness. It was just carbonated water with hint of cream Soda. My second time here. I brought my wife.
We ordered the texas dog and bratwurst. Both came with chips. We also ordered some mac and cheese and two drinks.
The food came fresh and hot. The staff was friendly and helpful. We couldn't finish everything so we took the left overs to go. Food quality is very good and fresh. The menu is very diverse not just hot dogs.
Lots of good side options and a good selection of beers. Great hot dog and great sides. We had a take out order for a large group, but they had it ready relatively quickly. I loved the Chili Cheese Please Dog, the fries, and the fried pickles.
We wanted to try something new like always and we found this nice little place called Good Dog Houston and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food Stop by and check it out Well until next time signing off Two Peas.
I stopped by Good Dog Houston for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. The hot dogs were delicious, and the chili cheese fries were amazing. The lavender lemonade was also refreshing. The staff was friendly and the decor was cool. This is a great place!
Went to Republic boot company right before lunch , went online, found this place, and loved the selection. I got the chili cheese plz on a poppy seed bun. I loved the hot dog. What little chili was on it was very good.
The cheese was just ok , I could have done without it and not missed much. My husband got the old Zapata dog. He liked it. My brother-in -law got the Rodeo dog , and he did not like the "snap" of the hot dog.
He said it was tough. He did like the macaroni and cheese on it even though it was very messy. It was supposed to have Jalapeno relish , he did not taste it. We got a side of ff , they were just ok. I got an order of house made I thought chips , they were good but would have been better hot , especially if they were house made.
My brother-in-law got onion rings , they were huge , but the breading fell off. This ramen restaurant is popular for its Hakata-style ramen, affordable pricing, and late night dining.
The menu features robata grilled items such as hearts, tongues, and gizzards that are delicious and authentically gnarly. Slide 1 of 7. Really great ramen place located in Dun Huang Plaza. The restaurant has a nice decor.
We tried multiple dishes and all were delicious. Our favorites are the spicy cucumber and ika geso fried squid from the starters and the spicy miso ramen. This ramen store closes at midnight so it was perfect spot for late night dinner.
The waiters are attentive and the food is served fast. Loved my ramen experience here. It's open late night and that the best. The wait list can get crazy but its worth the wait.
They won't let you in till you entire party is present. The ambience is decent and clean, smells of the grills. The service is good. This was our first time and so we went with the servy recommendations. We tried the Tsukemen - it's dipping noodles and the ramen is really good. It's spicy and full of flavors.
The spicy miso was my favorite - the broth is wholesome and delicious. I did not get the Pork chashu but the veggies and the chicken skewer on the side was a good combo. The veggie shout was good too. Overall it was ba good time and did enjoy the ramen here. We were six people. We had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated.
Other small groups of 1, 2,3 went ahead. Once inside it was a small restaurant so we understood. The waiter knew we did not eat pork and offer suggestion for veg meatless choice.
While friend order pork choice. The food was quickly. We enjoyed our first Ramen experience. Kids love it. Shrimp was not a favorite and would take away all the Brussels sprouts. But the both was hot and soothing. It was a nice experience and friendly staff.
After such a long drive to Houston you were the the place that was very nice to let us four to dine in when you were about to close. Thank you. Ramen very worth it after such a long drive, so delicious but sadly the chicken was a little pink but that's okay. Staff very kind, fast and wonderful.
Great ramen spot for a quick date night or if you are riding solo. I went bc their Tsukumen dipping noodles were recommended but due to my peanut allergy I wasn't able to order them 😢.
They had a miso wasabi dip that was 💯 2 Garlic Black Bean Ramen: broth was rich creamy and perfect.
