The 16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Houston - Houston - The Infatuation
"Thíên Ân Sandwiches in Midtown is a dependable spot for a quick lunch, basically Houston’s version of a Vietnamese diner. It’s the kind of no-nonsense, family-run place you immediately understand and feel comfortable in. All the food, from the banh mi to the phở, is solid, and everything arrives fresh and fast. One dish you’ll likely see on every table is the massive, golden bánh xèo, a wok-sized crepe stuffed with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts that comes with fish sauce for dunking. While it’s big enough to share, you can also tackle one alone if you have some feelings to work out. You should also order the gỏi vịt—a giant salad of tender roast duck, shredded cabbage, and electric ginger fish sauce. What to order: bánh xèo, gỏi vịt" - chelsea thomas, nicolai mccrary
