Godo's

Great place to eat and enjoy the ambiance! The food was delicious and fresh! The restaurant was clean! The staff were friendly and easy to talk to and described the food. I highly recommend Godo's restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner to everyone to experience Filipino cuisine!

Very kind lady took my phone order & called my name when I walked in the door. The Pancit noodles are very good, so much so that my sister returned 2 days later to get 2 more orders. They also give you a nice size portion. We will return again.

I was craving for Filipino food and our Caucasian colleague recommended me this! 0.6 miles away from my training and I had fried mackerel and mixed veggies. They heated my own brown rice I brought and they were very accommodating. Nothing like Filipino hospitality. They have the food market as well with various foods I’d get if I was home. H town is busting with great Filipino food! May I add that last Friday I ordered pancit tray and lumpia and my colleagues were so happy! Adding pics!

One of the first Filipino restaurant in Houston, I go order deliver and the food was fast and delicious. The Kare-Kare was very flavorful and the lechon was very crispy and the portion was great amount. I would love to come here and try the breakfast one day.

I have had their food but have not actually been to the restaurant itself. Food has always been delicious and hot. We work at a hospital near buy and always have food delivered. We have the food at Baby Showers, Birthdays and other special occasions. I cant wait till the next celebration. Thank you for the good experience.

Ordered soup to go from Godo’s and ate it at home. As I started eating it I felt a sharp and painful object in my mouth. I removed it from my mouth and it was a sharp wiring object. Not really sure what it is BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS is VERY dangerous. Luckily, I wasn’t chewing hard where it could’ve cut my mouth. SMH. I ask Godo’s to please be watchful and be attentive on how you prepare your food because this is very dangerous and very unsanitary. This is very upsetting.

I got the Okoy and Menudo and it was delicious! Everything is just like how my mother use to cook it! Great Filipino food the best in the area! I come here often

My wife and I have been eating here on occasion for many years. Food and service are always top notch. After our meal, we always get some baked goods, desserts, and more to bring home for another day.

You just gotta take this place for what it is, a Filipino cafeteria-style spot that also has a market. You have a choice to get half rice and half pancit. I got sinigang and giniling! Both were authentically great!

This a solid spot to grab lumpia trays for work pot lucks. Are they the best egg rolls I've ever had. No. But, they give you so much in a catering tray and they are pretty addictive. It's a party pleaser at work, for sure. I've ordered their pancit noodles tray too, which was kind of bland. I think the egg rolls are the most worth it. They do have cooked food available for to go meals in the morning. The majority of patrons here are Filipino, but there are those like me who have tried their food before or are just curious about Filipino food. I would definitely recommend this spot for your potluck party food needs.

I absolutely love the egg rolls here. I've gotten the pancit a few times, but the eggs rolls keep me coming back. I am able to pop them one after another until I realize I've eaten a whole box for myself. This is not somewhere I would dine in.. I only do call in orders...the dining area does not look appealing enough to eat in. Also, everytime I come in, the staff seems a little confused and overwhelmed.

Godo's is such a Filipino staple for all things Filipino food but for parties the tray of lumpia and pancit bihon is a crowd pleaser. If you work in the med center they will deliver and how I miss being so close to them. Now I'm back in suburbia so it's not as easy to order delivery for our work parties anymore. However, for my daughter's birthday party I was able to place my order the night before then made the drive to pick it up. Is it worth it? Absolutely!! The lumpia is mouthwatering and delicious...it's hard to have just one, or two, or five. The crispiness and the sauce are on point! My kids love the pancit. A tray of lumpia comes with 100 pieces. Plan accordingly and go ahead and order those trays.

Getting a nice surprise of a Filipino sit-down restaurant being so close to our hotel, we made it a point to visit for dinner during our short trip to Houston. It was our last night in Houston visiting our nephew, so suggested a Filipino restaurant close to our hotel, Houston Medical Center, and Rice University. Like most Filipino restaurants, Godo's Restaurant serves early breakfast so are open at 7 am, but close later at 7pm, allowing of an early dinner. We got there around 5:10pm. Since our nephew had to head back to campus, we ended up placing an order, half to go (for our nephew), half to dine-in. The half to go portion was done pretty quickly and packaged beautifully. My wife and I took our time with our dine-in meal. -- Hot Meal ($6.99) - basically a rice bowl, with a choice of protein. We chose lechon kawali, and the generous portions looked really good. -- Egg rolls ($17.99 for fifty) - comes in multiples of 25. We got 50, and split it between us. They are cut smaller in size than other places, but the price reflects that. That being said, I though the filling was very bland and too finely ground meat...it could have been any quality of meat, and didn't care for the mouthfeel. They were super crispy though, and came with the typical chilli sauce that greatly helped. For us: -- Whole bangus sinigang ($14.95) - this was made to order so took a while, but it was a beautiful dish. A whole plum tomato was used, along with generous amount of green beans and cabbage. The broth was really tasty, and not greasy at all since seafood was used. The fish was relatively boneless, but there really weren't too many meaty pieces...it was a smaller fish used, and I had to carefully pick away the inedible (for me) pieces. -- Pancit ($12.95) - wife asked for a mix of Bihon (rice noodle like what's used in Pho) and Canton (Chinese style lo mein). It's made to order, so her request of no fish sauce was granted. It's a very generous portion...we didn't order rice, so this became our side dish and the two of us was only able to finish half. -- stick of pork bbq x 2 ($2.50 each, though charged $6.50 for both) - pork shoulder, with the fat, glazed in a banana ketchup sauce and cooked over an open flame. It was good, better than most renditions we've tried in California...and definitely a better price. -- halo-halo ($5.99) - thought this was a steal at that price. Very pretty to look at, needs to be eaten slowly. Again, this was handmade when ordered. Did my best to finish a little more than half. All the restaurant chefs and servers were very nice, making sure we were happy. While we were waiting and eating, we were pleasantly surprised how busy they were through phone orders for pick-up. The phone was constantly ringing, and doctors/nurses from the nearby hospitals were coming in to get their Filipino dishes for them and their friends. The prices are very reasonable, especially since everything was made when ordered. We got a ton of really good food, and even with tip, the total didn't tip ninety bucks. There is also a small bakery where you can pick up Filipino favorites. But unlike some combo grocery/restaurant, Godo's is classified as a food/drink establishment for credit card purposes (instead of a grocery store)...so ended up using the right card after all.

Don't go there for lunch combo! it's not fresh and little portion of the food. The lady was not very nice and eating while bringing food out. Will never go there again!!!

We passed up eating at the Post to stop by here hoping that we'd get some good old homemade Filipino food. The servers were nice but you can tell they're very comfortable with just letting things go. Most of the food was cold so that tells me it was already made and just heated up. My daughter is a pescatarian so we ordered from the veggie menu for her and asked for chop suey and asked to ensure there was no meat and when it came out it had chicken all throughout. We were just going to deal with it and it had no flavor. Just sad bowl of chicken and vegetables. Told the server we weren't happy with it and they just said sorry. Shrimp pancit was also ordered and it had bits of pork or chicken throughout. The only things hot were the vegetable egg rolls and rice. Now although not hot the dinaguon was a hit and very flavorful. We were done with our food for a while and we kept looking around waiting to see if the dessert was being made that we asked for and my daughter finally had to ask another server and to our surprise it was not being made so we were just left to sit around. After a while we finally got asked if we wanted a refill of water. Finally our halo halo came out and it was great. I unfortunately was not impressed by this location.

I ordered two combos dishes. The lady who's serve the food, she is arrogant, not friendly and with angry voice. She is very rude to me. She should be in the kitchen not serving people. Table are clean and nice place but people need to be more friendly.

If I could give NEGATIVE stars, I would. The female server was beyond rude! She acted as if having a customer was unconvincing her. There were NO customers and I can see why. The food looked old and not good at all. NO WONDER NO ONE WAS THERE.

Went to Godo since it was a short walk from my hotel. Got the Tocino Breakfast and the Lumpi Shanghai. The place isn't the most glamorous, but the service was fast and they were very helpful. The Tocino was kind of dry, but still tasty. That was way too much delicious lumpia for me. I took some with me to the plane to eat on the way home!

I was craving for Filipino food and our Caucasian colleague recommended me this! 0.6 miles away from my training and I had fried mackerel and mixed veggies. They heated my own brown rice I brought and they were very accommodating. Nothing like Filipino hospitality. They have the food market as well with various foods I'd get if I was home. H town is busting with great Filipino food! Clean atmosphere. Simple and straightforward!

Ordered in advanced for a delivery order. Called so many times and staff are so dismissive. LATE delivery about 1.5 hours late! (told me that they took in so many orders that it's so overwhelming), RUDE costumer service. RUDE delivery driver. Gave a good tip in advanced for this kind of treatment. Will never order again. Do not recommend!

Food was fresh and delicious! I ordered online and it said it'd be ready in 45 mins and was as I received a ready for pickup notification via text. It ended up arriving 30 minutes after the pickup time. While pulling into the parking lot, they called to remind me of my order and when I told her that I was pulling in, she asked if I'd like her to bring the order out to me. This was a very kind gesture. I'm a Navy "brat". Black and Japanese, but grew up with many Filipina besties whose families frequently cooked delicious Filipino meals. I recommended this place to my family and would recommend to anyone else craving Filipino food.

I come here for the eggrolls. Pancit. And cassava cake. They have a small buffet area but I always take mine to go.

Order Godo's party trays for your next gathering. The pancit and lumpia are repeat orders in the last few years. I've tried the chicken and beef empanadas but prefer the beef. Do yourself a favor and just order 100 lumpias for your party because they're teeny and I can eat about 15+ in one sitting. They're highly addicting especially with the sweet chili sauce that's more on the sweeter side. The location is further south of medical center which is great because there's parking and not as hectic.

My family really like Filipino foods and trying different Filipino eateries. We heard of Godo's and decided to give it a shot. We picked up shrimp okoys, eggplant torta, dried fried squids, puto, ube desert, chicken empanada, beef empanada, and biko. We loved everything except the squids. All the proteins except the squids were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The sweets were exceptional. My favorite was the shrimp okoy which was crunchy and not too oily. The ladies working there were friendly and helpful. Prices were actually cheaper than many other Filipino eateries. Definitely worth returning.

This place was amazing! It was my first time here but definitely not my last. The cassava cake was hands down delicious! I loved the siopao asado and the lumpias too! Customer service was awesome. The man/owner gave us free empandas to try. Very cool! Their combos are not too pricey and definitely have good portions. Very worth it! This is my new spot for Filipino Food near Medical Center. I've been to Max's and the other cafeteria near it and they got nothing on this place. Especially price wise-vs Max's. I'm not sure if Godo's got Lechon Kawali and Crispy Patas but the menu here is already pretty extensive. Definitely a must try!

One of my favorite Filipino places to eat...they have a variety of foods and desserts to pick from...you can also order ahead for parties..

A Houston classic and one of the BEST places for Filipino treats! Would recommend their siopao, pan de ube, and halo halo!!!

Great food. Great service. We were in town for baseball and really wanted some lumpia and adobo and it was amazing.

a few more thoughts will culminate to just one. Feeling Welcomed. Satisfied and Memorable.

Our dept at work order hot food for the bday of our Boss .. Very frustrating to see that the chicken popcorn they delivered is undercook.. I called them and made a complaint and and was ask to send a picture - so I did sent for them to see . I don't think I will order food in here in the future ..

tl;dr - Their service is shit. As you can see from the tl;dr, I don't particularly like this place. My have a certain loyalty to this place for some reason, my mom's specifically, which is I feel like I've had enough experience to give a very low rating which is something I almost never do. I want to support a Filipino business as much as the next Filipino, but this is a place that I've constantly had a negative experience in. My mom on the other hand tolerates it a lot more than I do. For years they've gotten my mom's orders wrong, when she orders 5 platters at a time, I would know, cause I've picked up my fare share of those orders. On their busy days, they also seem to accept every order, last Christmas, my dad waited outside in line, when it was freezing outside, just for them to tell us that they gave our order to someone else. We called ahead of time and we weren't late in picking it up, there was just a long ass line. They gave our order to someone else instead. I could keep going about my negative experiences with this place and it would become an essay. Yet, they are NEVER apologetic about their mistakes. They literally laughed joked while talking to my mom about their mistake. I'll just end it here, and say I hope that when you're looking for a filipino business to support, make sure you choose one that's worth supporting.

Egg rolls, Egg rolls, Egg rolls! That's the only thing I have ever tried here, and those little things are delicious. Ordered 50 and I'm ashamed at how many I consumed. The sauce they come with is tasty too. Has just a hint of spicy, probably not even enough to mention. I called my order in ahead of time which I recommend bc I've seen it get busy in there.

I ordered from Godo's for a (small) quarantine gathering I had at my house a couple months ago! I grew up in a Pacific Islander home, so the flavors of the Philippines are very familiar to me, and I was craving salty, crunchy, umami bites. I called in and ordered about 50 lumpia (small fried spring rolls), a big pan of pancit bihon, and a half order of chicken adobo. Pickup was quick and easy (and the dining room, which may be open again by now, reminded me of my aunties' kitchens). Food was piping hot and well packed to stay warm for the drive. And the food itself was delicious! Lumpia were still so crunchy - these lumpia are very small, so make sure to order 5-10 per person at your gathering, depending on what else you're serving. The pancit (sauteed noodles) were some of the best I've had outside of family gatherings. The chicken adobo was also excellent - lots of flavor and a rich broth. You know it's good when the leftovers that have been refrigerated cool into a chicken jelly. This is a great option for parties! I will definitely order again.

Honestly I want to give them 3 stars but I just wish they can work on their service. They don't pay attention to what the customer wants or asks for. They can't offer any helpful answers. The food is decent. Their fresh Ube breads and cream cheese breads are very tasty. I don't come back to the store unless I happen to be in the area for my doctor's appointment

We were about to get a buffet then I saw a roach on the floor! Lost my appetite. I don't know how they passed the food inspection. Makes you think how clean do they cook back in their kitchen? I was about to take a picture of the roach, but, I do want to scare the other customers.

OMG. I Cannot give this place enough stars. was craving Pancit and they hit the spot. food is awesome and still hot when I got it home. great customer services. friendly and will visit again.

Love their lumpia's for potlucks! It's a tray of 100 for around $30. They include the dipping sauce and everyone loves them! Highly recommend for get together or just by yourself on the couch for a movie! Jk... or not

I wanted lumpia and went to the Pugon de Manila and they didn't have them so I had to come here - they have vegetable lumpia but the meat ones are smaller and made to order. They came out piping hot - 25 are the smallest order. They were ok.. I've had better. I felt like there wasn't enough filling. But they were hot and crispy. They also have pan de coco and other Filipino sweets and candies. The BBQ pork skewer was a little too salty for me and didn't really like the sauce too much. Overall, it was ok. Didn't try any of the other dishes though - but the space is spacious and clean.

For Lunch the buffet option is no longer available, it has been replaced by a combo meal option that comes with 2 cups of rice and 2 choices of sides. The combo meal price is $10.99

When you call them for your orders to be picked up at a certain time, just a BIG WARNING! Your order will not be ready, not even cooked and worse, the person who took your orders by phone did not inform the kitchen. Not once but several times it happened to us. That's how inefficient they are so Clean up your acts, Godo's!

Their mini egg rolls are the best. They are always made fresh, & I always order them for parties & gatherings.

High quality, exactly what I order every time! I crave this place pretty much always and it's the perfect place to order food for all the nurses I work with! Their lumpia is to die for.

First of all I do not know why people complained about this place. Good cheap food in medical center, you can't beat that. They egg rolls are to die for, it's like drugs. I can't eat 100 egg rolls all by myself. They bilo bilo is the best in town. I only gave 4 star because of the parking.

Horrible customer service...I walked in at 5:30pm, they close at 7pm....this is was my first time going there because I heard a lot of good things...older lady at the register told me to "get out of here!!" for no reason, saying things in their language and then said...it's 5:30 pm, why are you in here? Wow! Seriously, couldn't even be nice about it... Racist? Bad Day? Seriously that was uncalled for! There was no one else in the restaurant.

Ordered a tray of lumpia and two orders of pancit for a work holiday lunch. The food was wonderful. It was plenty for about 20 people. I received several inquiries about where I ordered from and compliments on my great choice! Aside from a crowd pleaser, it was exactly what I was craving and tasted like homemade I had a child. Very pleased. Can't wait to order from here again and see how the rest of the menu tastes!

I ordered 125 Vietnamese egg rolls for a party and Everyone LOVED them !! Price point and customer service was EXCELLENT!

I love the lumpia here, we always order it for work and they deliver i think for free. I also went here for the filipino buffet during weekday lunch, they take card. I wish they served lumpia during lunch. They served limited turon (dessert lumpia) w/banana. I like the pancit here as well as the molo. Come here for authentic cheap filipino food. Clean, hot and yummy. less than 10.00 a person. we also got the ube slush which was like bubble tea w/out the boba.

The siopao of Godos is not the same. I use to loved it a lot. But its no linger the same taste old freEzer burns. Flavor is a little off. Ill stick with Goldilocks siopao.

Came here after the park looking for a snack and dessert. Read that it closed at 7 Pm and decided to swing by. Arrived at Godos at 6:10 pm and they were closed. Called the establishment to see what's going on. They said they were closed. I asked if I can possibly get some halo halo and lumpia. She said we can get the halo halo only to go though. Went inside and paid $12 for two halo halo that had nothing but shaved ice with a little bit of jellies on the bottom. Don't think I'd come back after this experience. Little bit into the halo halo the jackfruit was spoiled. Did not finish. Would not recommend this place EDIT: We didn't get to try their food.

Delicious pancit and eggrolls. It was our first time and the lady at the counter was very nice.

We came by for takeout at 6pm on a Friday night and it was very quiet in the restaurant with one family eating at a table and someone breaking down fresh garlic cloves and prepping them for use on another table. We'd never been, but the staff were quick to offer a menu and explain the pricing/options on the menu. No combo meals at dinner so everything is a la carte but quantities are big. So we ordered Pancit, rice, and chicken Adobo to go. Then we asked about lumpia and got the minimum order of 25. We took it all back to the hotel, and we both had a good size bowl of everything. There is the two of us who ate, and we easily have leftovers for another meal or two for both of us...and we are not light eaters. The price was ok, there's cheaper in town. The lumpia was spot on, the rice portion huge, and the pancit great. The chicken adobo was ok, there's better in town.

If I can give 0 rating, I would. Just a tip if you want to eat there, check your food first for cockroach. I showed the cockroach to the manager/owner or whoever he is and he just took back the food like it's nothing, and they still asked us to pay. Haha. And the worse part is, looks like its a coomon thing at this place. Eat at your own risk!

The food is good. The service was not today. We called for delivery in the Med Center. The phone menu online does not reflect the current prices. They do not honor those prices and say that they don't know how to take down the website. The person on the phone did not confirm the price. We were overcharged - confusion between trays and single orders. It was a mess.

If you want delicious and fresh authentic Filipino food, this is the place. The quality is just like your grandma's home cooking, portions are healthy and the prices are so reasonable. Please try this place if you are anywhere near the medical center you won't be disappointed.

The lumpia is my go to when ordering from here. It's always fresh and hot. You can't go wrong with the pancit also.

After reading the reviews for this place, we were genuinely excited about a filipino spot in the heart of the medical center. We decided to swing by during the lunch buffet to try it out. Overall, I really wanted to like this place. It's definitely authentic and frequented by many filipinos for both the food and the bakery. I'll have to admit though that the food just seemed a little off when we were there... everything seemed just okay to me flavorwise unfortunately. The service was really nice and people seemed generally happy. I've had more flavorful filipino food at other places, and for some reason Godo's disappointed. However, since it's so close by, I'll probably give it another chance in the future...
