Yelo

The Houston Area’s Hottest New Banh Mi Shop Has Arrived in Katy - Eater Houston

"Yelo, the hotly-anticipated banh mi shop from Phat Eatery founder Alex Au-Yeung and former Sing chef Cuc Lam, has officially opened in Katy Asian Town. Born out of a collaboration between Lam and Au-Yeung, the restaurant opened quietly the first week of March next to Phat Eatery’s original Katy location. It gained a cult following for its creative banh mi toppings, like a French dip sandwich with spiced brisket and pho broth au jus, and a banh mi with Phat Eatery’s beef rendang. The menu blends Malaysian street food and Vietnamese heritage, featuring vermicelli bowls and mango-papaya-shrimp spring rolls. Drinks include Vietnamese coffee with Cafe Du Monde beans, ube and pandan lattes. Yelo operates as a grab-and-go destination with seating for 12 inside and a small patio. Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Orders can be placed via counter service or online at yelohtx.com for curbside pickup and delivery." - Brittanie Shey
