The Best Hidden Gem Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"Tucked away in EaDo, a meal at this neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant should start with the flavorful duck salad, served with lime dressing and ginger dipping sauce, and an order of the restaurant’s crisp, fresh spring rolls. Follow it with a generous bowl of spicy bún bò Huế or opt for the bánh cuốn — delicate rice noodle rolls filled with pork and served with fish sauce. While the family-owned favorite plans to relocate to Upper Kirby by year’s end due to the I-45 expansion, its current space still offers a roomy dining area and a BYOB policy. Loyal regulars are sure to follow, thanks to the consistently warm service that’s as memorable as the food." - Brianna Griff
