The Best Restaurants in Houston’s Asiatown

"This family-run restaurant, which specializes in Central Vietnamese cuisine, garnered nationwide attention when chef and owner Ai Le became a James Beard semifinalist in 2023, proof that some of the most exceptional food can be found in modest surroundings. Houstonians have fallen head over heels for the banh beo chen, or steamed rice cake saucers, and the banh quai vac (chewy glutinous shrimp dumplings). Regional specialties like bun bo hue (spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup) and mi quang (turmeric noodles with pork and shrimp) are also must-orders." - Minh Truong, Mai Pham, Eater Staff
