LES BA’GET Vietnamese Café

I’ve never had such succulent meat at a Vietnamese place. Everything was cooked perfectly and reasonably priced.

Les Baget is like an up scale Banh Mi shop, it’s very clean and cool decorating inside out, but the price is like three time compare to other places. Anyways, it located on Montrose, quite close to my school so I decided to give a try.
I ordered a sous vide pork belly sandwich, which was $ 6.25. It was a huge portion with a lot of filling, served in a wooden little box. The baguette is perfect, nice crispy and thin but the pork belly is too oily and fatty which made the baguette become really soggy.
Les Baget is a great place for who work and live close by. Overall experience was ok but I wont come back just for the fancy sandwich with high price, it really doesn’t worth it.

I enjoyed this place more than I was anticipating. I was afraid that the Asian fusion style would mean less authentic flavors, but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the pandan waffles and chicken, imperial egg rolls, and lemongrass pork noodle bowl. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The chicken and waffles were so good and portions are huge. The only thing that was disappointing were the noodles (very thin, cold, slightly undercooked).
The restaurant itself is very well decorated, low key place. I would definitely come back and try the banh mi!

Good but not great.
This place is definitely good. We had a huge Phở for less than 10 dollars and my coconut water was just delicious, in addition to be very refreshing.
Although I could tell that the place was popular (on a saturday for lunch), it wasn´t crowded and you could still enjoy some privacy at your table in some way.
We had a baby with us and it worked out perfectly as we felt that we had the space to put all our «accessories» and feed him. I will definitely come back if I end up moving to this area (which might happen soon) but I will definitely look for more places around Houston, as I didn´t feel that this place was the very best in terms of food.

I been waiting for this place to open to try it. I went to the soft opening and it was not crowded (thank god). I tried the Vietnamese steak and eggs, which was very flavorful and tender but it was so little. I wish there was more butter and late on the bread. The Vietnamese coffee was good as well, just like any other ones. But $ 4 for a tiny cup that the ice is basically the whole cup? No thanks.
The next time I came here I tried the pork belly and BBQ sandwiches. WOW. It was a lot yummier than I expected! So much flavor and it was a good portion as well. The pork belly melted in your mouth! The BBQ beef wasn’t my favorite but my boyfriend liked it better than the pork. They have outdoor seating and I brought my dog to eat with us.

LES BA’GET is a great option for those that live nearby…
But for those of you who live and breathe banh mi (like myself), the fancy sandwich fillings and high prices just won’t cut it.
The $ 6.25 Lemongrass Grilled Pork sandwich (referred to as a «banh mi thit nuong» in real banh mi shops) is pretty tasty. I have had almost identical tasting meat at Thim Hing for $ 2. The 24 Hr Sous Vide Pork Belly sandwich was underwhelming and under-​seasoned. The Asian veggie accoutrements are sliced whole on the mandolin rather than chopped up like a slaw. I like the uniformity and the way it fits in the sandwich, but they could benefit from some serious marinating… acid… flavor… SOMETHING! Yes, the in-​house baked bread is nice, and the butter/​mayo tastes right, but these two things don’t justify the exaggerated price of $ 6.25.
I will say that i love their Passion Fruit Drink with chia seeds, and their Garlic Butter Chicken compares to Chinese dishes I’ve had in Bellaire. Other than that, LES BA’GET is not fooling me with their fancy presentation or their novelty fillings. Standing your banh mi up on its side like a tree doesn’t make it cost $ 2-​$ 3 more. Similarly, the spring rolls are cut in half and presented vertically, which makes me uncomfortable in a phallic kind of way.
The food wasn’t bad. The counter-​service was pretty good. But I think I’ll stick to the tried and true shops on Bellaire for more authentic Vietnamese fare.

Was here during its soft opening in February and I have to say that it was solid. I didn’t have too many expectations coming in, knowing that legitimate phở and banh mi were attainable only a short drive away into Midtown. But Les Ba’get surprised me with their «dressed up» takes on casual Vietnamese food.
I had what was essentially a Pork BBQ banh mi. The basic ingredients were there, but It felt like it was prepared with a little more care than the assembly line treatment I’m used to at other places. The pork wasn’t hard to chew on and also had more flavor than the standard fare. I also had a chance to try the phở broth. While just ever so slightly too salty, the flavor and density were spot on.
The interior looks great as it is. Outdoor seating didn’t seem like much, but the inside had a mix of small and large tables to accommodate a fair number of people.
I’m excited to have this new addition to the growing Montrose restaurant scene – especially one that’s within walking distance from me. I’ll be back for the grand opening for sure.

LES BA’GET is an upmarket, counter service, Vietnamese restaurant with a clean, hipster feel. Though it doesn’t have 376 menu items, LES BA’GET offers plenty of vegetarian options, clean wood tables, and chalk boards describing the «phở-​king» awesome food. The name LES BA’GET may seem like a Texan pronunciation of «LET’S BAG IT,» as if proudly announcing the selection of paper or plastic. I can assure you, it isn’t. Also, bring your own grocery bags. What is this, 2008?
I went with a friend after indoor rock climbing, so I was pretty hungry. There’s not a lot of parking at LES BA’GET or Montrose. I ordered a vermicelli bowl (on the menu as the lemongrass tofu with noodles), and added a sunny side up egg. I also ordered the spring rolls (on the menu as the Buddha spring rolls). There was no vegetarian phở on the menu.
The Buddha spring rolls were well worth the price paid. The vegetables inside the spring rolls were crisp, and the tofu had a brilliant texture. Served with a side of peanut sauce on a wood board, I wondered if I would regret getting the vermicelli bowl as an entrée, only because one might describe a vermicelli bowl as a larger, more complex, «deconstructed spring roll.» I had no ragrets, ya know what I’m sayin’? The lemongrass tofu was well worth it. The tofu, like the Buddha spring rolls, had a remarkable texture. The lemongrass flavor was present, but not overpowering. Someone once told me that lemongrass tastes a bit like Trix cereal, which has bothered me since. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it in other reviews. This dish did not taste like Trix. The daikon, carrots, and onions reminded me of when I was in Vietnam in 2011. The sunny side up egg was a nice touch. The perfectly round shape was yet another sign of the extra work the LES BA’GET crew put into their food. I do love a good egg ring.
I would definitely return in the future. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. A comfortable environment and pleasant food ups the ante in a city loaded with Vietnamese cuisine.

Love at first sight? That’s for crazy people. Love at first bite? That I can believe.
While perusing the brunch menu, the Vietnamese chicken and waffle caught my eye. I had to have it. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Lust is a powerful thing, just ask Bill Clinton.
On a rainy Saturday morning, my heart’s beating so fast before our first date.
When the chicken and waffle arrived, it took my breath away. It was so stunning; could it really be mine? It was finally time to consummate our love. With all that anticipation, I was afraid that the experience wouldn’t live up to expectations– but it did.
The fried chicken, coated in fish sauce, was crispy and juicy. The waffle was no plain Jane– it was flavored with pandan coconut milk and served with green tea syrup. Everything came together in perfect harmony. By the way, the waffle is green because of the pandan, which is a plant used in Southeast Asian desserts.
This was the best first date I’ve ever had, but don’t tell my boyfriend (if he’s reading this, it’s too late). I’m not special; anyone can find love. You just have to visit Les Ba’get.

Just drove all the way over from Wharton to try the place. My Son highly recommended the place. He has a Vietnamese friend that said the phở was better than his mother made.
The parking is tight and there were plenty of people in line. Told the wife to get a table so we could eat inside. There are tables outside!
The owners wife took our order and while I was in line I txt my Son on what to get and did read the Unilocal review!
Got the Saigon spring rolls and the Les Bag’et spring roll. The Saigon is traditional shrimp with the peanut dip. The other uses Patis/​fish sauce. A bit hot but good!
Ordered the phở with filet mignon and asked for extra meat. It was great. The lady said they cook the broth for 24 hours! Way more than we could eat! Ended up taking plenty home.
Saw a table of ten and each person had something different and it all looked good!
Great place and will go back.

The atmosphere and cleanliness was A+.
Food was a bit over priced. Something you can get it Chinatown Bellaire area that tastes much better and at a cheaper price but you are in the Montrose area.
Parking in the front is literally like 6 spots so you have to find parking on the streets.
I would come back if I’m in the montrose area in need of my Asian phở/​banh mi fix.

Yum! I’m glad this food truck opened its brick and mortar so it’s easier to access. It’s across the street from Inversion, so it’s a perfect pick-​me-​up after a few hours of studying.
The bf and I came for dinner on a Sunday at 6:15 (they close at 7) and it wasn’t too busy. We were trying to decide between the steak and eggs and the chicken and waffles in addition to the pork belly banh mi, but they told us that they had run out of the waffle already. That made our decision easier, I guess: P, but if you want the waffle, you should probably come earlier. We ordered at the counter and found a table ourselves.
The food came out pretty quickly, and the presentation was really nice! The banh mi came cut in half, and was served in a small wooden box. You could see the neatly placed pickled veggies and the abundance of pork belly in the sandwich. The sandwich was more expensive than I’m used to for banh mi (it was like $ 7) but it was a pretty big portion, and it was loaded with meat! The 24 hour sous vide pork belly was delicious! Even though I knew it was really fatty, it didn’t taste overwhelmingly heavy to me. The pickled carrot and cucumber balanced it nicely. The bread was also reallyyy good– it was crunchy but light and soft at the same time. I would definitely get the banh mi here again.
The steak and eggs were meh, though. Even though it was $ 13, there wasn’t very much meat at all, and it wasn’t cubes of filet mignon like I expected. It was more like strips of bulgogi or something. I felt like the banh mi actually had more meat than the steak and eggs. The flavor of the beef was good but nothing super special, and it wasn’t very tender either. I probably wouldn’t get this again.
There is a small parking lot, but you will probably have to park on the street, which is not too hard to find. It’s a cute place because it looks like a bungalow from the outside :). And there’s a small patio overlooking Montrose!

So I first heard about this place when I found out about the best banh mi competition a few months ago. The list consisted of some businesses ive never even heard of. Les Ba’get was on that list competing for the throne of best banh mi. I cant resist trying a new tofu banh mi, so I eventually made the trip. My first time here was a let down. I went for a sandwich but was informed they had ran out of bread. Dang! Ok, no big deal, lets try a vermicelli bowl. The bowl was a disappointment, it really was. I ate maybe a ¹⁄₃ of the bowl & was done. This variation of a vermicelli bowl did not work. Not sure if it was a goof, or this place has a terrible tofu vermicelli bowl.
Second times the charm for me. I still want to try this sandwich mind you. Tofu sandwich, with no duck pâté, no aioli, & no butter. This place also has a nice selection of imported craft beer. So im waiting on my food, drinking a Japanese IPA & my sandwich arrives. Its like love at first sight. Instantly, im thinking dope! The sandwich was superb! I mean everything about it. Bread was good, didn’t tear my mouth up, veggies were stacked up, extra fresh jalapenos, tofu was firm & presentation spot on.
Location is new & modern. Staff is friendly & service isn’t too terrible either. Parking lot sucks however. there are only a few parking spots in front. Might have to find parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Oh & if you do find a parking spot, parking lot is small so good luck trying to get out. Its easier to back out the way you came in.
Well, the sandwich was dope, vermicelli bowl not so much. Sandwich, service & location makes this a 4 star facility. Check it yo!

A group of friends and I came for Sunday brunch. I’ve heard great things about the steak and eggs and the chicken & waffles so we got those dishes. The chicken and waffles was interesting, mainly because the waffle was a pandan waffle and was green! It tasted pretty normal though and the fried chicken had a good spice to it. As for the steak and eggs, they were good and comparable to Blacksmith’s. I still need to come back to try the banh mi here!

Finally !! They got it right. Best Vitnamese sandwich in the loop ! Very cool ambiance w/​Asian décor. Cashier& staff very friendly & even took time to teach you about menu & how to pronounce the names.
Look fowrd to trying there Phở soup that will be the real test to make this spot official.

Hip new phở shack on Montrose. All the foodies know about it. It’s nice inside, a place where you can post a lot of inspiring Instagram photos.
The phở is actually pretty good. Broth is spot on and portions are large. They serve cool beers like Hitachino, Tiger, and Singha. The only complaint is the pricing. It’s over 40% more expensive than other phở restaurants around Milam, 3min away. Now 2 phos and 2 Viet coffees jumps from $ 25 to nearly $ 40.

Slightly higher priced Vietnamese food, but that goes with the convenient location in the city vs. driving to Chinatown on bellaire. Small parking lot and sort of a small place.
Counter order service, so if you come with a friend (s) I would recommend somebody grabbing a table while you can order for them. Self serve water and utensils as well. Mostly small tables so I wouldn’t come with a large group.
Pork belly baguette: we added an egg and it was almost too much! Very much worth the $ 6 + $ 1 egg. Keep in mind it is pork belly so the meat is pretty fatty.
Steak & eggs: small portion of meat for a $ 12 dish. I wouldn’t order again unless I’m craving steak & eggs and willing to dish out on a small bit of meat. It was good despite the price and portion though! The bread with pâté spread made it unique.
Ham & cheese croissant: we added an egg to this as well (my boyfriend loves eggs as you can tell). This was my favorite of all three and a must order again when I come back. A little messy since this sandwich was really loaded as well, but yummy regardless.
Orange juice: I’ve tasted «fresher» OJ, but if you’re craving then by all means.

A quality Vietnamese restaurant was much needed in this neighborhood. My favorite sandwich is the 24-​hour sous vide pork belly with added egg on top followed by the lemongrass beef and the buttered chicken. Fresh bread and top notch ingredients are used. I enjoy the pork and beef sandwiches the most but the noodles are also very well made — my recommendation being the basil shrimp. Looking forward to trying the phở next round.
They also have a nice selection of oolong teas. If you’re familiar with this type of tea, you know it’s kind of hard to find in Montrose.
Lunch crowds are forming somewhat long waits as word is getting out so be prepared. Parking is atrocious but don’t let that deter you, it’s worth the wait.

Really cute little place off Montrose. Parking lot is fairly small but I think there’s street parking as well. Water and basic utensils are self serve here and you order at the counter.
Bo né (4.5÷5) really really good, definitely give this a try when you visit, I personally don’t like pâté very much but it was delish here
Chicken and waffles (³⁄₅) — I would’ve given this dish ⁴⁄₅ if it weren’t for the chicken, the fried chicken could use some improvement in flavor but the pandan waffles were on point, be sure to add maple syrup to enhance the flavor of the waffles Spring rolls (³⁄₅) — pretty average spring rolls, nothing bad to say about it
Will need to come back and try the other dishes on the menu!

I’ve been here 3 times and ordered the same thing each time. Call me addicted but their pork belly croissant *with an egg* is da bombbbb. The egg inside is always perfect. Not too cooked and still runny when you break it.
Homemade soy milk is okkkk. Doesn’t taste like anything special but still refreshing.
Their spring rolls are good, but only because of their peanut sauce and fresh ingredients. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it due to their location.
I’ve recommended this place to many of friends and coworkers based on the pork belly crossiant. Its just so delicious. You’ve got to give it a try.

Phở lunch date and greeted by a good beat and Kendrick Lamar? Yes, please!
Adorable location in the heart of Montrose. It’s like you’re eating phở in a cute house playing hip-​hop music. I can get down with that!
Menu is very tempting and everything sounds good. I decided to keep it simple for my first trip and order the phở with Filet Mignon and Lean Brisket — You can get combination meat here for no additional charge. I added an egg for $ 1.25 extra which I thought was a little much, but it’s too tasty to ignore.
Phở was very flavorful and plenty big. My meal was about $ 11 total which is on the pricier side for phở, but I really enjoyed the ambiance, music, and everything is prepared very well.
I also love that the tables and serving plates are branded with Les Ba’get — Makes it really convenient to take an insta-​worthy photo if you can adjust the brightness coming through the windows! …Kidding but not kidding.
Only reason I’m not giving this place 5 stars is that they didn’t have all of their sauces readily available and their water cups are a joke. They had the sauces lined up on the wall as if they were for sale, so it makes you think twice before grabbing a bottle off the wall and helping yourself. We grabbed a bottle and an employee ran over to us and replaced it with one that was already open. I think they should just have a bottle on every table, open or not.
Water cups are small dixie cups, so you can plan on getting up about 8 times to refill your cup throughout your meal. I’d rather them just have large plastic cups to stay hydrated through a bowl of spicy phở.
Sandwiches looked amazing, especially their croissant one. Will be trying that next time!

Les Ba’get describes itself as a Vietnamese café but it’s very different than the ones we’re all used to seeing in the Chinatown area. I still love those Vietnamese restaurants but the vibes at Les Ba’get just feel a lot friendlier and the food is just as great!
They have many banh mi options but the server recommended us the Sous Vide Pork Belly on baguette. Boy, i’m so happy he did. The meat was very flavorful and the baguette was baked perfectly. Their sandwiches definitely aren’t the cheapest in Houston but it’s probably the best I’ve had from anywhere.
What I was most excited for was the Vietnamese Chicken and Waffles. The waffle is made with pandan coconut milk which makes it a bit sweeter and more flavorful compared to a traditional waffle. The chicken wings are marinated and fried and the dish comes with a syrup that was prepped with green tea leaves! I’m a huge fan of chicken and waffles and I think Les Ba’get did a great job creating a Vietnamese rendition of it.
I used to like driving to this part of town because of the coffee shops but now I have even more reason to trek here thanks to Les Ba’get!

Love this cute little Vietnamese café! So far I have tried the buddha spring rolls, lemongrass grilled pork sandwich (bahn mi) with a fried egg, coconut basil shrimp noodle dish, the filet mignon phở, and green iced tea! Very prompt service every time! Loved everything so far! Fresh and delicious, the bread in the sandwich is perfectly crisp and not too thick. Perfect portions, not too big, not too small. The bathroom is nicely appointed and clean. Cute Asian pop music playing — makes me want to shazam every song! One qualm is about the parking. Only about 8 cars can fit into a closed ended unpaved lot. They should figure out an exit onto Montrose somehow to let it be a «one way in» type of thing, or at least pave it. Also, the menu is small and a hard-​to-​read font. I’m sure they’ll change that soon enough, as they just opened not too long ago. Otherwise, food and service are perfect!

Love the location of this place as it conveniently sits across the street from one of the best coffee shops in Houston. I appreciate the teeny tiny parking lot and the outdoor seating here. When you walk in the menus are immediately to your right but it’s a bit awkward so it’s easy to just walk by. The ambiance is cute with lots of wood everywhere.
Service is friendly and anyone can easily explain menu items for you. We had the steak and eggs which comes with a baguette that has pâté and butter already spread on there for you, beef, vietnamese sausage, and two eggs sunny side up. I thought this dish was alright. Didn’t care too much for the cut of the beef nor for the pre spread pâté on the baguette. I feel that pâté/​butter is more of a preference as to how much you like so it’s more of a spread it yourself thing. I had the beef lemongrass beef sandwich on a baguette and thought it was quite tasty. The baguette was a bit hard and left cuts in my mouth. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and presented very well. I also had it with an egg and they very strangely just placed the egg on top of my sandwich (as pictured in my uploaded photo) and I thought that was weird.
Anyway, I give this place 3 stars because food is good but quite overpriced but understandable given the location. I’d come back simply out of convenience.

I loved their food truck, that marrow was massive, delicious, well seasoned, perfectly roasted and super fatty, so when I heard about their brick and mortar I was ecstatic to eat that bone again. However much to my sadness, they now scoop it out and put it in soup form, still tasty but not as much as you are literally just eating globules of fat… OK, but yay that they are closer to me, but boo for my wallet because I will probably be a frequent patron… and the prices are a bit steeper than typical Chinatown prices. However, if you think about dining at a typical American restaurant you end up paying a similar price… One thing I will say though is that the egg rolls in my opinion are overpriced, and even though they are deliciously fried and filled with quality ingredients including crab/​prawn, I can’t justify paying over $ 1 for an egg roll smaller than my finger… but if y’all like to splurge, then go for it!
1. Walk up to counter, ask for a paper menu so you don’t have to strain your eyes staring up at their very difficult to read board.
2. Place order
3. Remember to pick up your assigned table number; I sadly had to witness the confusion that occurs when you forget, so DON’T be that person!
4. Wait
5. FEAST
Phở (Beef Noodle Soup)-I love how this is create your own, you get a choice of: fatty brisket, beef tendon, beef tripe, filet mignon, lean brisket, and beef meatball. We chose the first 3 and I loved it all! You could taste the higher quality ingredients, the brisket was tender and not super fatty, the tendon was sous vide or something before hand so was translucent and perfectly tender, and the tripe had the texture more like calamari and didn’t have that gross metal aftertaste! OH yeah you can also add sides for extra $: noodles, meat, poached egg yolk, and a bowl of bone marrow, get the marrow as it also comes with a slice of their famous baguette! The broth was very flavorful and developed, not overly salty and I loved the addition of the fresh basil, bean sprout, scallion, cilantro, onion, jalapeño and lime. This soup was perfect for the winter weather we were having!
Lemon Grass Grilled Beef bahn mi– Ok so I really wasn’t wowed by this dish but I could see they tried to class it up a bit, but honestly you can’t go wrong with the classic. A bit nit picky but I prefer the carrots grated and the cucumbers julienne and not ribbons. HOWEVER, their baguette is probably the best I’ve had, it was crunchy and soft at the same time, and yay, didn’t cut the roof of my mouth! I used my leftover bread to dip in my marrow as they only give you one piece…
Overall, I still had a great dining experience, the place is really cute, and I love how they have their logo on everything. I also liked the lime infused water, and how homey the place feels, I will be back!

I have a good feeling about this place!
The winner winner chicken dinner (or lunch) is their rendition of chicken & waffle. Chicken and waffle has always been a trendy favorite since it’s creation. This place brought it to the next level by fusing it with a Vietnamese twist. It includes a pandan coconut milk Belgium waffle, fish sauce marinated fried chicken, and green tea syrup! Each component of this dish exhibits it’s own unique characteristic, however they co-​mingle well with each other to bring crispiness, sweetness, and a savory all in one. The chicken is the real MVP of the plate. It’s super crispy, not too greasy, and flavored just right. The pandan coconut milk waffle is a delight if you like pandan and coconut. It has that familiar pandan flavor in waffle form and texture. The green tea syrup good. It tastes like a mixture of traditional maple syrup and honey with a hint of green tea.
I split my dish with my friend who ordered the Vietnamese steak and eggs. It’s filet Mignon, Chinese sausage (lap cheong), 2 sunny side up eggs, pâté and bone marrow pâté buttered baguette. The plate came out on a sizzling platter (providing an opportune moment for a quick Snapchat lol). The toast had pâté butter spread on there so it was good by itself, but it’s meant to be dipped in egg yolk and eaten with the rest of the stuff (there’s really no wrong way to eat it though).
Both dishes are a bit expensive. The chicken and waffle is $ 12.50. If you add tax and 15% tip, the total comes out to $ 15.56. The Vietnamese steak and eggs dish is $ 12.75 (before tax and tip). This place also uses one of those iPad credit card swipe machines that urges customers to tip with a press of a button. These types of places always confuse me if I should tip the standard amount or not since there aren’t any waiters/​waitresses (kind of like going to Whataburger).
I recommend sitting inside the restaurant. We sat outside along the counter top (that faces Montrose street). A lot of cars like to stare at you while you eat, and it gets worse when they are stopped due to traffic. Also, joggers on the sidewalk can’t help but to make eye contact you as you take your messy bite.
Parking can be a little difficult. Although a private parking lot is provided, only a few parking spots are available due to the small lot. Street parking is available for overflow.

Awesome little Vietnamese bistro in montrose. I grabbed a quick lunch on a Wednesday before the lunch rush. The service was slower than I would like considering I was the second person there. The food was very good, I had the steak and eggs + an iced green tea. The steak was flavorful, lots of lemongrass and spice. I’ll probably try the Vietnamese chicken and waffle next time I come. They do have a small beer selection, along with a nice little coffee and tea selection. Prices are what you would expect for the area.
The atmosphere is very welcoming, reminding me of a small cabin. They have a patio that runs along the side, but I’m not sure if I would sit next to busy Montrose boulevard.

Pros
— Typically you would expect a lot of hiccups during soft openings but the service was flawless for a new, casual joint.
— Food came out quickly despite most of the restaurant being full.
— I also noticed that the tables were cleaned immediately as diners left. Impressive!
— Great ambiance and music was a nice touch. The interior is super cute.
— Got the steak and eggs. Meat is very tender, and nice lemongrass flavor. Baguette is excellent.
Cons
That being said, I would rank this place 3.5 stars for several reasons.
— Menu is impossible to read. This was the consensus of all of the customers in line with me as we squinted to read the small cursive font. But since this is their soft opening, I can’t knock them for this one. Very minor.
— It’s outrageously expensive – even for upscale, high quality Vietnamese food. I’m having trouble understanding if it’s ever worth it to pay $ 9.50+ for a bowl of phở. Sandwiches start at $ 6.25. Café sua da was $ 4.50 – for a plastic cup shorter than the size of my fork. Good god! This was the biggest drawback of my experience. I’m not expecting Bellaire prices – that’s obviously not the direction they’re going for. But please give me a tad bit more food and don’t charge a whopping $ 5 for a tiny cup of coffee.
All in all, I plan to come back to see if this bowl of phở and sandwich are worth the hype and price. Very cute place, great service, and lots of potential.
