They sell this spicy beef soup. and its pretty standard for most places. so if its not as good as this place you should be open. They open late at some locations too if you have some cravings at night. They bring out he food pretty quick and sometimes i get the small size because the large is super Texas size unless you plan to bring some home to-go. Don't wear White shirt because this the broth might splash on you.

This is the one item restaurant. They only serve bun bo hue in small or large size. It is delicious and this is my go to place. I take my family here when they are in town. The broth is very flavorful and not too spicy. They have the shrimp paste and spicy sauce on the side for us to add into our bowl to our liking.

I've heard all the hype around this place and instead of a wide choice of items you've got one thing on the menu and that's Bun Bo Hue although you've got two choices in size, regular or large. First off we are at 9am so this was our breakfast and I didn't want to overdo since we had a big lunch in the plans so I opted for the regular size and that was big enough for me! The bowl had a good amount of rice noodle with sliced beef shank, pork knuckles, sausage chunks and sliced onions. My two knocks were the side veggies of cilantro sprigs, thinly sliced banana blossom, thinly sliced purple cabbage, mint, basil, perilla, and mung bean sprouts looked like the previous days as it was a bit wilted and browning. The other was the broth wasn't piping hot. The service was good and a one lady show who was eating her bowl of noodles next to us. The ambiance is no frills with old cut out pictures from an Asian magazine, of course an Asian calendar, and a big wall with the other items which were boba drinks and Vietnamese coffee. Would I go back again? Well maybe but the choices for Vietnamese and Cambodian food is far and wide on this strip of Asian eateries and strip malls that goes on for miles.

Great hole in the wall type Bun Bo Hue. Large-size is a really big bowl. Broth had lots of flavor and only one type to order, so eliminates the need to decide on what to order.

Pictures not taken out of respect to dinner guests. I'll make this one very short and sweet. The only place you will get better Bun Bo is in a tiny spot in vietnam. Thank you to the chefs for bringing such an amazingly rich and delicious dish to the Houston area!!!

Came here for breakfast one morning during our last visit to Houston in mid October. Restaurant opens at 8 and that's around when we went. Not busy but surprisingly already had 1 other table there. They serve ONLY BUN BO HUE, in small ($7.50) and large ($10). Food came fast and HOT, perfect for a cold, chilly morning. Bun bo hue has been a favorite of mine since eating it for years but I've never had it at a place that ONLY specializes in it nor have I ever traveled to Vietnam. Very strong, deep flavor broth with traverse cut pig feet into "slices" than the one I'm used to seeing which is like either the foot or a cut higher than that. Their pig blood was very soft, like pudding, unlike anything I've had before. I love adding shredded cabbage and bean sprouts to my bun bo hue. Adds so much crunchiness ! Definitely can't forget the limes either ! Weirdly I've never had Bun Bo Hue that had slices of cha lua in it. Not complaining though... On the table, there's more shrimp paste (mam tom), fish sauce (nuoc mam), and chili oil at the table if you need. Definitely didn't think it needed more. Their bun bo hue was so flavorful ! Would LOVE to have this again ! Very satisfying. Great portion for the cost. Accepts credit card ! Some question if you can eat something so heavy/oily in the morning... HECK YA ! AND I'D DO IT AGAIN !

Was visiting Houston this past weekend and we decided to come here for breakfast on a Saturday a little after 8AM. It wasn't busy at all in the morning as they only had one table there when we got there. They specialize in Bun Bo Hue so that is the only item on the menu. They do have two sizes so you get to choose if you want a small or a large. Other than Bun Bo Hue, they also have plenty of drinks/boba for you to choose from. My friend decided to go for their large while I got their small. The food came fairly quickly and it was hot, which was perfect for that morning. Each bowl comes with a hearty amount of noodles with a mix of toppings that include pigs feet and pigs blood. They also provide you a plate of cabbage and bean sprouts to put in your soup as well as some lemon wedges. The soup base for the Bun Bo Hue was excellent. I've never had it in Vietnam so I don't know what's authentic but out of all the Bun Bo Hue I've tried, this is probably my favorite. It was savory but not too salty and had the perfect amount of umami to it. They also had shrimp paste, fish sauce, and chili oil at the table if you wanted to use them. The prices were very reasonable too for the amount they give you! I think a small was $7.50 and a large was around $10.00. Would definitely recommend! I would gladly come back when I visit Houston again!

We were hungry Sunday night and craved some vietnamese food. Came here on a recommendation. Definitely pretty legit looking and I probably wouldn't have come here on my own. There is no menu, just a small or large size BBH. Was pretty good but I've had better in Houston and near Bellaire. Portions were fair and BBH had a solid, traditional taste.
