The Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston
"After outgrowing her counter space within Bravery Chef Hall, Masterchef champion Christine Ha opened the Blind Goat as a full-service restaurant in Spring Branch. Her thoughtful approach to Vietnamese street food is evident in a menu featuring rolls, wings, skewers, noodles, and a fun interpretation of Houston staples, such as Saigon street corn — a Vietnamese-style elote made with corn ribs, saté, scallion oil, and Parmesan cheese. Must-try dishes include the herbaceous lettuce wraps filled with bánh khọt — savory, crispy pancakes topped with shrimp and scallion oil and served with fish sauce vinaigrette for dipping, and the Texas barbecue brisket fried rice, made with the help of neighboring barbecue spot Feges’s smoky beef. Seal the meal with Ha’s apple pie à la mode, a Gordon Ramsay favorite laced with star anise, ginger, lemongrass, and fish sauce caramel." - Brittany Britto Garley
