" As one of the few remaining original Vietnamese restaurants in Midtown, the elderly husband and wife team at Kim Tài know how to build a bánh mì, even if it takes them a little bit longer than other places. Food arrives with loving sincerity, as though your grandparent made it special for you. Each bánh mì has warm, toasted bread overstuffed with pickled veggies and hot jalapeńos, whether it’s filled with whole fried tofu pieces or marinated grilled pork. And the teal and wood-paneled dining room, a time machine to Houston’s past, is the fried egg on top, with every Midtown character dining alongside you. What to order: bánh mì đậu hũ (tofu), bánh mì dặc biệt (special)" - chelsea thomas
