Where is the Best Vietnamese Food in Houston, Texas?
I come here at least once a week to enjoy this great place. The food is simply delicious. I’m working my way around the menu and I haven’t found anything I didn’t like. I just discovered the Rice Sheets. These things are awesome. Will be coming back. Heard a Washington spot is opening up. Can’t wait since I live around the corner. Downtown for lunch, Washington for dinner. Perfection!
We drove by Thien An dozens of times on our way to Les Givral’s (2704 Milam) without giving it a chance because it’s forgettable from the outside, located in a tiny strip that we thought would forever be cursed with failed businesses (formerly housing a gelato place called the Italian Hut; I think the old sign is still there). But we’re so glad we finally made the stop and have become regulars. The pho is excellent, satisfying and the broth not too greasy. One of the most popular dishes is the banh xeo and rightly so. It has nice crunchy edges (perfecting lacey crisp edges is the art of making banh xeo); it’s a bit harder all around than I like to make mine but it is fragrant (mm, creamy coconut) and best of all, fun-sized – order it and your eyes will get big too! For fun, we once counted the number of times a plate of banh xeo came out of the kitchen while we were there for lunch – forgot the count but it was definitely in the double digits! Their Vietnamese sandwiches are okay
