Viet Hoa International Foods

You can find all kinds of Asian food, fresh meat and seafood, fresh vegetables, fruits, canned goods, and even a food court with fast food, roasted pork, roasted chicken, and various snacks here. This market is open 364 days a year and has a very spacious parking lot.

Việt Hoa International is the biggest market in the Houston, TX area. They have all kinds of foods and produce, mainly coming from Asia, such as Vietnam, China, Thailand, Japan, and Korea. Their meat and seafood departments are so large. They always have fresh seafood, such as blue crabs, shrimp, lobsters, and fish. The man's name is Hoa; he is a wonderful server. His personality is amazing. Their meats are always fresh. The customer service is always friendly and nice. Sometimes, there are one or two cashiers who are not friendly and do not greet the customers. Overall, this market has everything that you need.

So many Good choices of foods and options and not packed and most part of the Market doesn't stink. I love the food there but i would question some foods there so be careful. so many items and Extremely affordable foods there and it's FIRE 🔥.

I’m Filipino so basic ingredients they would have it. Fresh fish daily and they can clean it for you (there’s different types of ways to cut or clean your fish indicated by numbered posters at the top of the cleaning table). All you have to do now is tell the employee what number you want the fish to be cut or cleaned. Meat and vegetable products are good as well. Various types of candies are sold in the store. The Bahn Mi is amazing, it’s sold on the right side of the store when you walk in.

Purchased several items here last Sunday with a bunch of them EXPIRED, particularly a box of tea that has been expired for 8 years! Yeah man u r not reading it wrong. If u looking for any type of audacious and ignorant grocery store who dares to sell anything including an 8-year-old expired tea, then go ahead this place is a paradise!

This is my second visit and I’m very satisfied with the service. The prices are reasonable and Henry made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely come back.

This Asian supermarket is huge!!! I love that they have Chinese BBQ meats, and it is pretty affordable. My family likes the roast pork. They also have some dim sum and cooked food. There is a small seating area which is convenient for a quick bite before shopping. The restrooms are fairly clean for an Asian supermarket. The parking lot is spacious. Just be mindful of pan-handlers when you make that right onto Beechnut Street when leaving Viet Hoa.

I had an excellent visit today! This is an awesome store. There is a Wholesale Club on this lot as well, don't get confused because it (WC) charges $5.00 for a one day visit. The International grocery store charges only for what you purchase. They offer some of everything, including hot dishes at a reasonable price!

My favorite things about this restaurant was every food was seasoned amazingly and i was able to taste the flavor compared to other food areas with small seasonings!! The workers were so friendly and provided amazing service because they helped me guide myself through getting the best foods, the fried rice was also amazing!! The restaurant was designed beautifully and I truly loved the culture designed area, this is one of my go-to places when i crave food on my period lol

It's a solid Vietnamese grocery store. It's big and carries about everything you'll need for most Asian dishes. The food in the deli area (all the way to the right side of the store) is a solid 8/10. They have some good prepared foods. Too much to mention actually. Service: mixed review tbh. I've had really great interactions with most of the staff but there have been some times where I could tell they weren't having a good day and so I kept my interactions to a minimum. (I know how that is as I've worked in the food industry too). Ambiance: it's an Asian grocery store. It's loud and busy and I have fun with it. If you need a place to stock up on all your essential Asian items (and some you probably didn't know you needed) this is the place to go.

As one of the largest specialty grocery stores in all of Houston, Viet Hoa (越華) puts the "super" in supermarket. Their inventory of imported goods is vast, but they also have quality produce and meats, along with great seasonal and cultural displays all throughout the year. As far as Asian markets go, Viet Hoa is as extensive as they come. It may not look like much from the outside, but the place is enormous. It can be overwhelming for first timers, but once familiar, it's a playground of Asian goods in every direction. The staff works hard at staying efficient: keeping the aisles well stoked and the check-out lines moving quickly. Most of them speak Vietnamese and there are some that speak Chinese and Spanish. I would recommend for anyone looking for something specific to pull up a photo on the phone first before asking. The selection of rice, instant noodle, and snacks, is pretty impressive. I think their butchered meats are also good, as is the fresh seafood selection. They have an excellent dedicated frozen aisle area and the produce has practically everything. There are areas that are sectioned off by country and its goods. The only thing that is not great is their hot foods / bakery / deli area. The banh mi is pretty mediocre and the hot foods selection is a notch below that. I haven't fared well having lunch here and much of the hot foods are salty and disappointing. I would recommend avoiding it entirely, but there seems to be someone almost always trying to order their Siu Mei BBQ. They also have things beyond food. There is a selection of Vietnamese ao dai, along with a limited variety of other items like musical instruments, plants, and traditional Asian decor. There is also some eastern medicinal products for display and a gift shop area. Parking isn't a problem and they accept credit card. There are plenty of check out stations and it's never been so crowded in here that I couldn't shop. Viet Hoa is an easy option for a one-stop Asian market shopping.

Everyone here is so friendly, especially the ladies at the food court! I always come here for the Hu Tieu Xao Bo (Stir-fry beef flat noodles)

Review for the Ca Nuong (baked fish) in the deli/food court area. My aunt told me it's base for first come first serve basis. Under $30 comes with fish sauce and just reheat in oven. My picky chef aunt and parents approve this short cut for ca Nuong rolls versus going to Jasmine or Saigon Pagolac.

Growing up my default Asian Grocery store was Hong Kong. It was newer, it was closer, but now Viet Hoa is closer and actually much cleaner. We come here right after church on Sunday's to pick up our Asian veggies and Chinese BBQ. Their roasted pork is one of the best in the city!

Bigger and better than the one in cyfair. Lots of other good stuff in the strip mall as well. Nice alternative to Hong Kong market.

I don't care if this place isn't the cleanest, it was just nice seeing that I can find majority of everything you need and for a pretty decent price. They sold a lot of food items to include multiple restaurants that sell roast pig and roast duck, banh mi sandwiches, fried fish, and many more. They sell ingredients you don't normally find anywhere else such as the specific butter for banh mi sandwiches or the dipping fish sauce for spring rolls, etc. They have cheap fresh or live fish and they also sell clothes and furniture. The parking lot is huge and staff are very friendly.

I like that they have a lot of fruits and vegetables that I grown up eating. Mixed cultures also. It's a 1st place I used to go all the time to go grocery shopping for my Asian food to buy that I cook for my kids. Each day we have different foods from different countries. Pilipino foods Chinese foods Japanese foods Korean foods Thai foods Vietnam's food And many more

Very good tasty food and perfect service I myself love the ambience inside the restaurant

Clean and organized Asian supermarket! You can find everything you might need here, from standard Asian groceries, condiments, specialty snacks, kitchenware, alcohol, fresh produce, meats, seafood, and gifts (including Asian clothing and gift baskets). It can get busy, so if you need helping finding an item, it might be hard to track down an employee. There are many check out lines that move pretty quickly. I also like that they offer the smaller shopping baskets on wheels. These are more convenient for me when I'm rushing in for a few items and need to more easily navigate through some of the narrow aisles. This is hands down my go-to place for Lunar New Year gift needs. They offer so much, from fresh or silk flowers, ornaments, money envelopes, ready made baskets, and endless chocolates and cookies -- all beautifully wrapped and reasonably priced!

I've been shopping here for about 8 to 9 years recently I noticed that the store has become slightly prejudice. It's truly a shame because it's honestly an amazing store. Definitely prejudice though .

So good! And if you bring your child outside the store is where toys are at! That's where I got my Kuromi backpack. The backpack was sooo good!

Ngày nào cũng mua bánh mì nhưng mỗi lần mua là một size nhìn gớm luôn vậy mà lên giá miết

Manager co 2 , super rude , will not let you return , stay clear very bad workers here, not friendly at all!

I come here all the time and usually there aren't any problem but this time they over charged me. I went to customer service and told them they charged me the wrong price. I showed them both the receipt and the item I got and they refused to give me a refund. So beware and double check the price before you check out.

This is a great grocery store to go to for tons of food at the fraction of a cost. I can find pretty much everything I need here. They almost always have great deals on fresh produce and a wide selection of meats and seafood. Viet Hoa also has a really great selection of snacks and imported candies for a lot cheaper than most places. The added benefit of coming here as well is that they have a really good hot foods bar and additional grab and go foods. It can get super busy (like most grocery stores do), but the lines always move pretty quickly and there is some minimal seating to eat any of the hot foods you've picked up or if you just wanted to eat a snack you've just bought before being on the go again.

We came here during the middle of the week during the pandemic. Unlike say, an HEB, Viet Hoa was sparse. Maybe 12 customers at the most. Probably less. The best thing about asian markets is the variety of produce they have that's so much cheaper than in an American market. Usually about half or a third of the price for more exotic items if the American market happens to carry the item like gai Lan or achoy. There are so much frozen vegan/vegetarian (and processed) items but they are not that cheap and why buy them when you have such an epic produce section? The bad part of the pandemic was that I didn't see any prepared food available. I don't know if this is due to safety issues or if there is no money to be made there due to the lower turnout. They don't have white claw here but they do carry Truly.

This is one of the most comprehensive grocery stores for Vietnamese cooking. Viet Hoa has been around for decades and you can count on it to find all if not most of the hard to find produce, dry goods, fresh seafood and meat to cook delicious Vietnamese cuisine. They also have a BBQ shop by the food court dining area. Next to it is an array of meals to-go. If you shop here often, sign up for their free discount card. It's not much, but it's some savings!

My favorite place to go for seafood and international foods. Plus, if you like a great steam bun or dumplings you'd be in the right place.

This is one of our favorite Vietnamese supermarkets that our family loves to go to every-time they are in town. The one supermarket you can find anything you need!

We bought the BBQ pork there., horrible - we were given the meat with lymphoma! Will never go there !

My husband and I ended up coming to Viet Hoa International Foods one night after deciding to pick up some Asian desserts since I was in the mood for sweets (what can I say, I have a sweet tooth). Since we had come to this plaza a few days before to have milk tea at Bep Teahouse, we decided to stop by here since we were in the area. Surprisingly, this market is really big, although it did not seem like it from the outside. As we walked around, we ended up purchasing some cookies and snacks. But eventually ended up picking up some Vietnamese desserts since they had a special to buy 5 get 1 free che that was inside individual cups. Each cup was between $1.50-$1.89, so not a bad deal. It was a good shopping experience and would definitely come back if I lived in this area.

My husband and I decided to check out the area that has food already cooked and pack for eating for the next day or so... their miễn is so horrible.... It has a funky burnt taste.... Mien is the clear noodle stir fry with cabbage.... It look good but taste awful.... And the cashier at register #11 has a nasty attitude like she didn't like her job....

Our first time in Viet Hoa. We're new to Houston and needed to find a good Asian market and we found a winner. It was clean and great selection for all nationalities. We were drawn to the prepared foods section. We tried several dim sums, sorry forgot pics but no worries we'll go back. The stir fry noodles and fried fish was tasty. If you're a fan of mochi try their red bean filled mochi. We went around 10:30 Tuesday morning. It wasn't crowded but when we were leaving the lunch crowd was heading in. Plenty of parking and easy to get to.

Buyer beware the fish at this place is not fresh it is spoiled it smells and looks bad. The customer service at this place is horrible try to resolve this issue they hung up the phone and stopped picking up my calls

Good selection of Asian vegetables. Stay clear of the seafood section - dirty, smelly and the fish are not fresh. They sell a ton of farmed seafood that looks like they have been there for months. If you are looking for a product, no one is around to help or can help - they don't speak English. Some staff members are rude.

I love this spot. I go here to get tea and fruits!

So I go here a lot and I shop in the chinatown area a lot too and know the prices and what the offerings are like. If you want Korean styled offerins go to H-Mart, if you want Chinese/Vietnamese/African selection this is the cheapest. The varieties and selection can differ slightly. I've also read a lot of the reviews here but some opinions are just bad advice. number 1 this is not like an HEB equivalent, there is no comparison there. If you want western styled offerings please go to HEB, they don't specialize in that kind of thing and may carry cheap products to compensate so please don't knock them for that. If you're looking for strictly Asian and African ingredients they have it here. HEB does not, if you're looking for exotic fishes besides the Talapia, Salmon Chilean Sea Bass and a small number of shrimps then there is a huge selection here. They have a pretty decent selection of fresh seafood and the meat section is not too bad. The cuts of meats are different from western style so don't expect there to be NY steaks, fillet minion and such, Asians don't cook that way. The people that work here I have to standup for because they are the mom/pops or gen X generation that have immigrated here with limited english skills. They're hard working and if you do get a chance to talk to them they're just like you and I so give them slack. If there is something in particular you need they'll try to do it for your without any attitude. All in all, if you shop a lot you'll find that in the area Viet Hoa will provide reasonable pricing, variety, and cleanliness. I like the busyness on the weekend, the lines aren't very long because they have enough cashiers to get you through quickly with no more than waiting at any other place.

Let your nose lead the way and be welcomed to the world famous Viet Hoa International Supermarket. There's a series of absurd odors once you walk in. But it dissipate as you get used to it. First thing you'll see (smell) is the large section of fresh produce department on the left. Believe or not, you'll get to meet the freshly flown in durian and jackfruit from Southeast Asia. You can't escape the strong odor, especially during hot summer days. Second thing you'll see/smell is the Viet Hoa Seafood department - popular place to buy fresh seafood. Just about everyone lives in Houston knows to shop here. Be sure to buy your freshest fish before noon. I have bought less than fresh fish in the afternoon. I only wish they had frying service. Third thing you'll smell/see is the Viet Hoa frozen food section, majority of store is covered by freezers. Anything you can't find elsewhere, try here first. If your sensory still working, try the hot deli section. I frequent Viet Hoa for roast duck, char siu pork 叉燒 and lunch plates. I normally make reservation during holidays avoid leaving empty-handed. You can find Filipino snacks, Vietnamese desserts, and Chinese baked goods at local bakeries showcase in front of dim sum vendor. Speaking of dim sum vendor, you order, pay and eat on the spot. Prepare cash, leave tummy happy. The store is super festive during the holidays, Lunar New Year, Christmas, Moon Festival, Thanksgiving and any holiday that involves deliciousness. It's all decorated from top to bottom, outside to inside. However, watch out for rude drivers in the parking lot. It's best to park far away to avoid chaos.

During my stay in Houston, I went to Hong Kong market, H mart and Ranch 99. I like this the best. Their prices are lower than any if the 3 competitors. Their ready to offerings are great here. Love their good purchasing and ready made food trays to go. Too bad they don't have tables to sit and eat like their competitors. Also loved their bamboo offering collections and pots to put them in. The prices are hard to beat. The only thing I didn't like is there are no sign on the building to say that thus is VHIF. I entered front door then saw their flyer and only then knew it was VHIF.

This place has a lot to offer, from staples to ready made food, meat and seafood, you'll find a lot of what you need here.

Rating is about the staff I dont think staff get enough recognition. Today I asked 5 staff for help and all was super helpful and even gave me helpful cooking tips and which ingredient is better than the ones I initially came for. The are extremely sweet and happy. Not moody and brush you off. I thank all of you for the hard work and positivity during this pandemic.

I visited this store looking for live Dungeness crab and they were the only place in Houston that I could find it. I was very pleased with how fresh the crabs were, as well as how they cleaned the crabs for me. They cleaned it perfectly and very quick. Once I chose which crabs I wanted, they weigh it and then I pay. Once I show them the paid receipt, they will clean the crab. I saw a lot of really fresh seafood displayed for MUCH cheaper than where I always purchase my seafood, which is Central Market. The only downside is the smell of the store. It will smell like seafood, so prepare yourself. It didn't bother me at all, Bc I grew up on an island where they have seafood docks, so I was fine with it. I know some who visit maybe bothered by this. This store is huge and has a wide variety of stuff, though I didn't look around.

Our go to ethnic grocery store. Store is HUGE, with large variety of products. You can pretty much find any Asian ingredients here. Price is incredibly affordable. They are the sister store of Sun's Club (just next door), so you get all your goodies at wholesale price. Make sure to go early for fresh meat and more niche ingredients such as pork brain, pork tails, and whatever 'exotic' food we eat. Highly highly recommended!

I have been going to Viet Hoa since 2006 and always found most of the stuff that I needed. It is enjoyable to stop by the little shops out front to buy trinkets and things since they are always cute and a good price. The selection inside is very good and it could take hours window shopping and just enjoying the merchandise to really appreciate it. I can never leave with what I came for. Rather, I end up with an extra plant or two, a couple frozen food that I wish to try and most often sweets that I don't really need but its attractive pictures and humorous names enticed me to put it in cart. That being said, the reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the smell. While I don't mind it too much, my husband of 15 yrs really couldn't handle it very well. Same as when I was pregnant. It was almost like you are welcomed with a big fish slapped across your face. Like you hit a wall of fish kind of smell.

Your typical Asian market. I do like this one more than HK4 because for some reason it seems more lively. They have a variety of fresh seafoods which I think is better than HK. They have a fresh flower section which seems pretty cheap. They have a cereal section just like an American store. There is also a variety of ready to-go food which all looks yummy. They also have a lunch combo box for less than 5 dollars. That is one of my favorite thing in a food market. You can get a good lunch that's fast, easy, and cheap! I need to stop by and eat there.

When it comes to the deli section, it is no doubt the best deal on Asian food in Houston, Texas. You get a massive amount of different noodles, rice dishes, vegetables, meats and fishes for $5.50. They also have packages of fish and meats in case you want to supplement a meal in the same section. If you want a detailed explanation of the offerings in English, you are going to be disappointed.

My family have been going to Viet Hoa ever since and most of the ingredients they need for cooking they found it here. During my stay in Houston, I went with them to do grocery and get lottery (yes, they have lottery here!) it's located by the entrance on the right side. Not the cleanest but they have large variety of fresh produce, meats, seafoods and snacks. The market is huge, so be ready to do some walking and go explore. I found my favorite snack here, Honey Butter Almond (not the brand I always buy but that'll do) and can't contain my happiness lol. I'm usually having a hard time looking for that snack in Vegas, sometimes when I'm in California I would just stop by at H mart to buy it. It's fun to shop here and see other cultures. They also sell kitchen items/appliances and plants in cheap prices. Cafeteria/Deli section was located by far right and they offer ready-to-eat hot meals. Parking is terrible especially during weekends, since it is also shared with the same businesses in the plaza. Happy shopping!!

Bought this watermelon for $5.99 and it absolutely got no taste. The flesh is little hard. Not juicy at all and not sweet at the lightest. I feel like im eating a cardboard. The skin is so thick. Seemed like a fake watermelon. I know a good watermelon when i see one coz those are my favorite. I called them up if I can replace this but they said no. I understand that but i told them that you guys should stop selling those kind and you should remove so you cant victimize other customers. I'd stick with the watermelons in Kroger. They are so sweet, juicy and a fraction of the cost. Soo disappointed!

DO NOT EVER GO DURING LUNAR NEW YEAR!! Got robbed in the first column of their entrance. A black car parked behind my car and another guy walked up to me and constantly struggled for my purse. Hurt my back and head, plus broke my new phone on lunar new year eve. I yelled out to the security guard. He was in no rush. In fact he didn't do anything. I called 911 and waited for the cops to arrive. But I saw the security guard again and asked if he saw the hpd officers. He just slowly drove past me smoking and didn't care what I had to say. Wouldn't even look at me! I was told there are two security that drives around (one for sunny wholesale) but this is the heavier set one for viet hoa. May as well not have a security guard and install a camera. No cameras outside area all all!! (Confirmed by management). so it's a free for all the thieves out there!

This is the most popular Asian grocery store in Houston. It may not be the cleanest, safest, or have specialty items, but it is probably the largest and caters to mostly the Chinese and Vietnamese crowd, although many other Asian cultures, as well as Africans and Hispanics also shop here. Their prices are generally pretty good on fruits, frozen and Asian dry goods, but I would avoid buying American products here since the prices are very high. They are probably best known for their seafood selection in the back, as well as a great meat market area next to it. Ground beef is not only usually dirt cheap here, but also is good quality and tastes pretty good too. Checkout process is streamlined as they always have numerous checkout lanes open. This is not your typical sleepy Randall's in a rich part of town with only 2 or 3 checkers open at any given time. This store ALWAYS stays busy. Parking is probably one of the biggest drawbacks, as the parking lot also shares space with several other Asian stores, and nearby Sun's Club. It's best to come on a weekday if you want to avoid hectic parking, although is still pretty bad weekdays too.

I bought 3 packages of Beef Pho $21 about 2 weeks ago . But they gave me 3 Vegan Noodle packages. I'm working hard at nails salon from 9am to 9pm . I leave in North , i go to South West area once a month for foods. I can't just because 2 packs of Ph $15 to run from North to South in 3 days to exchange ( spend $10 for gas + 4 Tolls $7 = $17 ) I didn't touch them until few days ago and figure out that not the right flavor i love. Today i bring them to exchange but they said their policy no return after 3 days . Weird policy. Maybe it's work with vegetables or fruit because they can't resale for other , but these are dry noodle still good in Seal . Never open . Can't believe those people can make that weird policy. Really really bad Customer service. I swear never get back their to shop eveni can't find my favorite food anywhere else. Can you tell this is Beef Ph or Vegan Noodle ?

Beware of outdated grocery . Do not buy already cooked meals at this grocery . The food that they cook are not fresh . Grocery that's about to expire they use it to cook hot meals . Very poor customer service .

This international market is huge! It offers almost everything. There was a plant section, a pots and pan section, an appliance section, a large rice selection, the seafood dpt. offered a variety of fish, she'll fish. This store makes you want to try the many different types of noodles. I enjoyed the cleanliness. Each isle was nicely stalked, and the store is brightly lit. The only thing I didn't see was feminine products but I might have missed it. I wish the names of items were also in english. But overall, that's a culinary dream with the amount and various foods.

What can I say? Viet... Super... Market. Lots of stuff. Go explore. Pretty clean and lots of freshly prepared food to the far right. It's my go to viet market. It's also next to the Bep, which has good viet style drinks and desserts.

This is the Walmart of International Foods. I could literally spend HOURS here - and I nearly did had it not been for the fact I had to get back to Austin in a timely manner. My Japanese mother took us to shop at places like this, and she always looked for good prices, great selection, and great quality. This place comes pretty close to all 3 factors. I came here on a mission to find a specific Indonesian hot sauce (it's DA BOMB! - better than Sriracha) which I could no longer find in Austin, and I've found online w/ 500% mark-up which pisses me off. But as soon as I walked into this place I KNEW I would be able to find that Indo Hot Sauce - - and turns out I did. They have 2-3 full isles of special hot sauces from every country you could imagine. It's like a Melting Pot here and they all really do get along (ode to Rodney King). A really nice Vietnamese man stocking the shelves helped me out - English was a barrier btwn us but he was smart and savvy. There's so many items here he just pointed to English words on various products to help answer my questions while I tried to utilize the Google Translate App on my iPhone. His way was more efficient - so much for technology. I found my Indo Hot Sauce and cleaned them out - bought all 12 in stock. Incredibly, they're priced at a very reasonable $1.99 - - while in Austin I've paid $3.49 a year ago, and as high as $10 online from those highway robbers. Not worth it. (Oh - I don't think this place keeps up on Yelp reviews so I don't anticipate them reading the fine detail and raising the prices based on my comments). I also found a plethora of prepared meals - chicken wings, fried shrimp, fried rice, fried / grilled meats and squid, a lot of pork ribs and meats marinated in a Oyster sauce, pan fried dumplings, boas, and more. I went nuts and bought too much - - it was all very tasty but didn't get to finish it all unfortunately. The pricing was very good - from $3.99 and up - felt kinda like the 90's for a while. They even packaged up all my hot sauces by wrapping them securely in newspaper ensure the glass wouldn't break. They were very nice at the register - the young girl was funny and she was like WTF is going on w/ all this hot sauce?? Is it an Apocalypse or something? Are we gonna get a big flood? Where's the Ark? I told her I live 2.5 hours away and there's no supply at home - but that a flood will likely come to Houston soon so start building your Ark anyway. Me Likey here, Me definitely coming back.

My bf brought me here to to pick up stuff for dinner. I LOVE IT! I'm obsessed with Pompano fish. You get an entire Pámpano fish for $5!!!! You tell them 1) you get the fish as is 2) they clean it up 3) they debone it etc. Anyway, I can never find this kind of fish at HEB, Whole Foods or Kroger. Enough about the fish! They also have tons of amazing fresh seafood to pick from with a very broad selection. All sorts of Asian sauces and spices that you can't find at Western grocery stores. They even have some cute dinnerware sets. My bf loves picking up different sorts of frozen dumplings and edamame for quick snacks. Broad selection of fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. If you're hungry, no problem! They have a mini buffet and ready made food.

Tons of options for vegetables & meats. ! Tons of fresh cooked foods! Love coming to this grocery store.
