Wokker

Food is great! Presentation is awesome! The lady is really helpful and being patient with us taking a long time to order. Brisket is very tender and we loved it! You can choose your base and protein which is good for people trying to avoid noodle or rice.

If you happen to find this place, don’t think twice. Give it a try. It was my first time here and I’m already planning to come back for more. The food was incredible, the spot is lovely, and the person attending is so friendly and welcoming. P.S. Look for the little cat painting 🤫 it has a surprise for you 😏

First time to this restaurant, got the brisket curly fries and Viet iced coffee. Both were great, definitely will come again to try more menu items!

Great food. I would definitely come here again to try different dishes. I had the cowboy katsu. The chicken was delicious and rice was good as well. The restaurant was visually appealing with a nice art piece covering the a whole wall. It was my first time coming here and I’m glad we chose to come here.

Beautiful restaurant with awesome art and color choices. The service is very fast, and polite. They're happy to speak with you about the menu options and give advice of what's popular. The food was amazing, the brisket egg rolls were full of flavor, the Cowboy Katsu has an amazing flavor. I've eaten here since it was a food truck, and have never been disappointed.

Was looking for a place to eat when I saw this place pop up and some of the food items sounded really good. We went in and browsed the menu for a bit to figure out what we wanted, and Chris, the employee who helped us with our order, gave some recommendations on menu items and helped us to decide what we wanted. I ordered a bowl with the brisket fried rice and some of the brisket curly fries. The food took around 15 minutes to make but it was fresh and warm, we absolutely devoured our meals, the food was delicious! If you're in the area or just looking for something new to try I would definitely recommend trying this place out! Next time I end up in the Houston area, I'll definitely be returning.

Absolutely excellent food! Wokker serves up bold, flavorful dishes with a creative twist—I haven’t had a single bite I didn’t love. The vibe is fun and relaxed, the portions are generous, and everything is super fresh and delicious. The customer service? Top tier! The staff is friendly, attentive, and really goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience from start to finish. Bonus tip: Don’t miss Meo, the speakeasy tucked inside Wokker. It’s a cool, hidden spot with a great atmosphere and drinks—just keep in mind it’s 21+ only. Kids aren’t allowed in the speakeasy, but they’re welcome in the main dining area of Wokker, making it a great pick for both family outings and adult nights out. Yummy food, amazing service, and a little secret spot inside? Yes, please!

That was the best brisket Pad Thai I've ever had.. I added a little bit more cabbage and some Sriracha but that's my own preference with a little soy sauce and wow I'm coming back for more

Why 5 stars? Because this is an excellent combination of thai and bbq. --- --- --- Up in the north burbs, we recently had a similar fusion concept (thai + BBQ) open up and we really love it. It's not a combo I get bored of easily, so I was happy to try another rendition. And I'm happy to say I really enjoyed it. We started off by sharing the brisket egg rolls and the brisket curly fries - both were home runs. No notes. I really wanted to try the brussels sprouts too but was overruled on that. And then I ordered a bowl with pad thai and brisket. The brisket was very thinly sliced and I'd call it more "good" than "great", but the pad thai noodles were absolute heaven. Some of the best I've had in a long time, to be honest. A cool thing about the restaurant is that there's a secret door that takes you into a space with a completely different vibe - somewhat of an upscale speakeasy situation. We were the only people in the place, but I could definitely see how they could utilize both spaces, whether just want some fast casual-ish dining or kind of a fancy night out. A really unique concept on both fronts and I hope to visit again!

I love the food here! This restaurant is close to my job so I often order Uber eats for lunch. The green mango salad and kimchi are tied for what I love the most. The green mango salad has glass noodles, so it makes the dish very filling. It's bursting with flavors, and hits all the notes...salty, sweet and savory. The kimchi is outstanding! So much so that I no longer order the side but opt for the Jarred option, it's bursting with flavor. The cabbage has a wonderful texture, it's a perfect balance. The curry puff was good, I would have preferred a more pronounced curry flavor but the flakiness made up for it. The orange chicken was good, I would have liked more sauce but it was still very good. All in all it was a great meal!

Casual Asian fusion brick and mortar spot on the north side of town within the loop. It's not the best part of town but rent is probably cheaper here. You order up front at the counter and get served your food fairly quickly. Service is friendly and fast; they have only one front of house staff. We got the chicken green dumplings (3/5), bonito brussell sprouts (2/5), and brisket curly fries (4/5) for apps. I wasn't a big fan of the dumplings as they were slightly on the bland side. The Brussels did not have a great flavor and the sauce could've been a bit less salty. The curly fries with brisket tasted like a food truck special and was very filling and the brisket is good as well. For the main, I got the brisket pad Thai (4/5) and a Vietnamese coffee (3.5/5). The pad Thai actually worked decently with the brisket, which was moist and flavor wise, and a step above Rudy's but not quite a Truth brisket. The pad Thai tastes like a slightly sweeter version of a pad Thai usually served at Thai spots. Overall, it's a fast casual fusion spot and they have some solid options for a quick lunch.

I first discovered Wokker when they had a location at The Conservatory. Sadly, they are no longer there, but was happy to see they have this location as well. What started off as a food truck has grown into a couple of actual restaurants and they still have the truck too from what I understand. What they offer here is Asian food with some southern fusion. Think Asian bases like pad Thai or fried rice and infuse it with some southern BBQ. That's exactly what I got. I went with fried rice bowl with pork belly. The rice was topped with tender, smoky pork belly, along with kimchi and a fried egg. The melding of flavors was awesome. Every component of the meal was done right. We also shared an order of the briskey eggrolls. This too was a flavor bomb. I thought the brisket would be dried out inside a fried eggroll wrapper, but it was very good. They used the thin wrappers used for spring rolls, so it was crispy, but not too thick to where you lose the flavors of the filling. Overall, this is a great, fast casual spot serving up great fusion food. I shall be back!

Brisket is definitely the thing to get when you come here. It's juicy, it's flavorful and mixes with Asian flavors surprisingly well. The service was good, nothing over bearing or great but just right. The decor and maneki neko cowboy is just right for what this restaurant provides. The only reason why I couldn't give them a 5th star is because the rice bowls were genuinely terrible. Plain rice that was so oily with a runny egg on top. The chicken and the shrimp were both horrible neither of us finished our food. A small upside is the kimchi which was pretty good.

Do Not Eat here! I'm still haven't received a refund for the contaminated food. This is not acceptable. There was some type of plastic/paper mixed in with the brussel sprouts and orange chicken. Eating this caused me to have stomach pains and diarrhea. I choked and vomited the food back up.

The brisket on the curly q fries was really good. I'd recommend them. The brisket eggrolls were a bit of a disappointment though. Should be served with bbq sauce as opposed to an Asian dip. Service was cool. I placed my order easily and food was cooked to order. Place was a vibe and full of people on their way to the Astro's game.

Good service, and good food! There's a secret surprise if you ask the right question !! I will totally come back here for the food and drinks ! :)

Wokker HTX has the most authentic and unique Vietnamese flavors! Food, service and ambiance are top tier! Can't wait to go again! Went twice in a week! Y'all check them out! Ask about their speakeasy as well! So cool!

I have to give this place a solid 5 because the food and service was excellent. Yes it's bare bones as far as decor goes but it is what it is. The food here is excellent. Popped in because I live in the neighborhood and I did not want to venture far. Service was friendly and attentive. It is a walk up to the counter, place your order and your food would be brought out to you establishment. It was a Sunday and the place was not packed. We started with the jalapeno bites. They were so good we ordered two more helpings to go. I had the orange chicken bowl (so good). The grilled onions and peppers where a nice compliment to the dish. My friend ordered the fried rice bowl and it was very delicious. The food came out fresh and made to order. I was really impressed with this place and was impressed by the quality of the food. I will definitely be back. There is a little speakeasy inside called Méo. One of the employees showed us the secret entrance because I asked. It was closed at the time but can't wait to have cocktails there. I will definitely come back here.

Straight up, some of the most off-the-chain good food I've had. Their brisket egg rolls, are straight up incredible. Pretty much a must have. Man I'm hungry just thinking about them. Their signature fried rice bowl--with smoked chicken--oh man. Really nothing like it. This place is super unique. Kind of a Houston BBQ--Asian fusion, and it's so good. It's also in a chill part of the city. Really nice people working there, made sure to give me extra Sriracha and thank me for being a customer.

Clean and fresh atmosphere. Food is always good, affordable and love the fusion concepts.

The food is fresh and amazing and has a great spice and flavoring. I love the brisket egg rolls and their pork belly rice! The cashier was super friendly and was very informative about all three menus and their times. I love the decorations and the cool updated decor!

Let me tell you about this place. I ordered from there yesterday over the phone and then called them at 9 PM the next day and they said they don't take orders over the phone because they were too lazy to take the order. I go here three times a month and never heard this before. Piss poor service when I'm hungry. This was on 6/17

Oh man, I stumbled across the place by accident and I am soooo glad I did. I was grabbing food while on my way to my brothers for our Saturday family hang out. This food is so good! We ordered two of the fried rice bowls one pork belly and one brisket and my brother had the shaken beef. I specifically had the brisket and it's so delicious it tastes candied and it's cooked to perfection it compliments the egg in the bowl. In true little sister fashion I ate a piece of food out of everyone's bowl while unpacking the to go bag and can confirm all food was delicious haha. I didn't dine in but the person at the register was very nice and my food was ready quickly. Highly recommend trying this place out!

I'd say solid place for a quick lunch, but their food does better as a food truck than a standalone store. It is a fast-casual Texas-Asian fusion restaurant that is spacious, but the furniture is pretty bare bones. It is a nice concept, but the execution is not inventive or new. Cowboy katsu- 6.5/10 Fried pork katsu in a BBQ/teriyaki sauce over a bed of rice topped with pickled onions, green onions, and a sunny-side up egg. I prefer my eggs more fried, but the yolk was nice and runny. The katsu could be more fried, crispy, and flaky. Sauce seemed like a pretty basic mixture of BBQ and ketchup. Pork belly fried rice- 6.8/10 I love the fried rice, it was savory, salty, sweet, not too oily. Pork belly is juicy and chewy; it's hard to get pork belly wrong! Feels like a homecooked cheat meal I make for myself haha. Bourbon pepper steak- 6/10 Steak and peppers were good, but no special twist or anything that stood out. You can get this at your local Chinese takeout for about the same price with a much larger serving. Not sure if I would return because the recipes are basic, nothing really wow'd me, but nothing wrong for a relatively cheap bite.

Delicious Asian fusion restaurant! Tried the BBQ brisket eggrolls, bonito brussel sprouts, brisket curly fries, shaken beef, pork belly fried rice, and brisket pad thai.

Got the shaken beef and the brisket spring rolls. Everything was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. Will be back for the pork belly fried rice.

I'm staying at the hostel down the street and wanted something that would potentially be good unheated the next day. I made the right choice getting the Brussels sprouts and the veggie bowl. Both were delicious hot and cold. The Brussels just became one of my fav dishes. Added to how amazing the food is, the service was even better. All three of the team I interacted with were welcoming and helped me to have a perfect evening. Man Dao had great suggestions and told me about the surprise hidden inside and then later checked up on me inside Meo. I can't recommend Wokker enough. I'm already trying to get friends to come back to Houston with me bc I had such a great experience.

Fun fusion joint that combines Texan and Asian influences. The pork belly fried rice was tasty with tender and fatty pork belly. The brisket egg rolls were good as well although I wished the brisket was juicier. Great flavors overall. Love the vibe here. The space is pretty big with just enough decoration to entertain the eye. They were also playing killer Southern jams (e.g. Tammy Wynette). Friendly service. Clean bathrooms. Ample parking.

Really not sure why they have almost 5 stars. I got the chicken bowl and the chicken was very bland. It said it was waved with fried rice which I assumed would have some sort of veggies mixed in but definitely did not, the kimchi it was topped with was hardly anything so basically you are paying $16 for a cup of bland rice and some chicken. Also no sauce to add on top to make it tastier. Not worth it.

Wokker offers a great vibe, great beer/cider and just as amazing food. My boyfriend is quite the fried rice fan and he said their pork belly fried rice is the best he's had. I would have to agree! I've been eating at Wokker since I worked downtown in 2018 and I have to say the quality has fluctuated. Some months I am pleased and others not so much. The most recent trip we had the pork belly fried rice, brisket fries and smoked chicken fried rice. The brisket fries used to be my go to but the brisket this time was dry and overall the fries were a tad disappointing. The pork belly fried rice was good but less pork belly than I remember. I would still recommend this place and have it on my list to checkout the location in the heights!

Such a good place for a quick eats. I got the cowboy katsu which was fried really well. It had that crunch. I also felt like the amount of protein given was just right. Overall a solid meal for the price. My friend got the pork bellied fried rice which was also good! The standout for me was their fried rice. I wish upgraded mine from white rice to fried rice because it was delicious.

This review is for their new store, not the food truck. But I figured it is close enough.... Really great food! Perfect mix of Asian fusion and Texas influence. We enjoyed the pork belly and smoked chicken fried rice. Both super flavorful. We also got the brisket fries- lots of food but super yummy! There was plenty of seating and the staff was very nice- I highly recommend.

Had the brisket pad Thai, and it was amazing. The noodles were flavorful by themselves, but the brisket added a whole new depth and a unique twist on a classic dish. Would highly recommend, especially for a hangover cure.

To start, the appetizers we had were good. I was excited to try to brisket egg rolls for sure, and they were good. Was I mind-blown? Absolutely not. Staying in trend, I had the brisket pad Thai, which had zero flavor. Also, it was pretty expensive for what feels and tastes like fast food.

Husband and I went here on a whim from IG for lunch today. Wonderfully fused flavors. The food was delicious and flavorful. The customer service was impeccable. I ordered pepper steak with kimchi added, he had brisket egg rolls and orange chicken. I cannot stress enough how tasty everything was. We'll definitely return!

Very clean spot, food comes out amazingly fast that you'd think it was fast food. Customer service is also as great as their food.

The best part of the meal is the optics and presentation of the food. I loved the flavor of the rice however it didn't taste like the traditional fried rice. I order the pork and was not a fan because it was very greasy and fatty, I think it would have been better if I had the brisket

Found this place after a farmer's market run and it was a nice surprise. The interior was cute and they also sell kimchi and beers on the side. We ordered the chicken katsu with rice, brisket pad Thai, Brussels sprouts and spicy chicken fried rice. The katsu was crispy and the pickled onions were a good pairing. The brisket pad Thai had a generous amount of tender brisket but the noodles were slightly sweet for me. The Brussels sprouts were seasoned well but was drenched in oil. The chicken had a gochujang sauce that was flavorful but dry. I enjoyed the food and would come back to try out their shareables next time!

Food was amazing! Really like my pork belly fried rice! Flavor is on point and rice is really good! Compliments it super well.

We ordered the shaken beef and the pork belly rice bowl and we were blown away. The flavors were crisp and clean. DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend. First time customer. Will be definitely coming back. Staff were friendly and the decor was very welcoming.

I know I only order from you guys when I'm drunk but you're the best late night food around. Thanks for always making my order correctly and tasty. Some of the best food in town

I can't speak too much on service since I ordered via door-dash. The food was delivered within 30 mins of ordering. Our food was still warm when received. I ordered the Shaken Beef. The beef was nice and tender and the sauce was great over the nice fluffy bed of white rice. I wish I got a bit more meat, but overall the meal was delicious and filling. The eggrolls were a nice choice for an appetizer. They don't hold back on the meat. My husband ordered the brisket fries and didn't complain. This place was great. I can't wait to go back and try something new!

Very cool spot. Food was awesome. Great ambiance and the service was amazing. Will definitely be back

I go to the underground rail for lunch, their food is always good. The ambience is always quiet and the service is always pleasant and on time.

I went to the actual restaurant when I thought it was going to be a food truck? The presentation was pretty, but the food did not taste good. At all. The "fried rice" was sweet? The pork was very fatty... My friend had the shrimp which tasted a bit better, but not amazing. I would not come back for the food. The restaurant was nicely decorated, though.

The food is great and the music vibe took back to high school. I'll would come again. This place will be added on my places to eat Houston.

Food is beyond awesome here. I took it to go and it was ready and steaming hot when I picked up. I don't think their prices are real bad either!

The new brick and motor location of Wokker is SO delicious. Order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. We tried the Pork Belly Fried Rice, Brisket Eggrolls and Brisket Curly Fries. The fried rice might be the best fried rice I've ever had. I highly recommend!

Le falta sazon. Spent $30 and the food was bland. I'm a foodie and I was excited to try this place out but it was lacking flavor in the dishes I ordered. Really disappointed for my first visit.

Great quality, decent portion size but great vibes of the underground hall! Recommend getting a beer from the bar as well!

If you love food after the club, this spot is it! Service is bomb! Food is bomb!! Prob the best food I had in Houston so far...

Yummy! Food was hot and fresh. My hubby was happy with his choice. The server was friendly. Highly recommend. I'm glad they were at the truck yard today.

I ordered the pork belly fried rice to go and it was soooo yummy. The pork belly was very tender. I will definitely be back to try some of the other items.

This place makes a great selection for lunch, for you don't want to go crazy but you need something that's just different. Smoked chicken and rice bowl sealed the deal for me. If you're scared, get this, and if you're not, then have fun because their menu has range. Stop being a wimp and get your fat ass pants on and grub down.

First time I noticed Wokker Food Truck was at a community event back in 2015 called Yelp Houston Photo Exhibit. I remember vividly as it was a hot day seeing Wokker Food Truck in front of Spring Street Studio. https://www.yelp.com/biz/yelp-houston-photo-exhibit-houston Few of us came out hungry after partying in the air-conditioned galleries. Depp, Maria, Gail and I were attracted by the cooking aroma and walked toward the truck. But the line was really long. So, we waited and regretted. Because some popular items were sold out. The only things we could order were the shareable (appetizers). We ordered whatever we can to fill our empty tummies. We shared our orders with each other. Once I got my Bonito Brussels Sprouts, I didn't want to share, because it was so delicious. Then, I said to myself, I've gotta catch them again. After reading the history on their website, I started to follow their schedule to see where they go. Next time we met was at a charity event called The Great Banh Mi Cook-Off in October 2017. I love their creativity in Asian fusion cuisine. I'd never imagine how versatile Wokker's signature pork belly can be on a French roll. https://www.facebook.com/events/120943718517810 My recent encounter was at HAAPIFest early this month. Wokker Food Truck fed dozens of hungry folks after a food-related screening called "Fermented". Our meals were packed in a bento box to preserve the beauty of their crafts. I ordered extra for takeout. Because I know I would love them even a day or two after. My favorites were Cowboy Katsu and Cowboy Katsu Tofu. Their signature sauce was perfect replacement of traditional tonkatsu sauce - doesn't overpower the tender chop. What's next? I'm gonna hit up their restaurant on Franklin Street in downtown Houston. My mouth is watering already. https://www.yelp.com/biz/wokker-houston **46th review of 2018**

Food was not that great to me only the brisket egg rolls was good. The service was great

Food: Great taste, no fillers which I appreciate just meat and rice or vegetables. We had the Brisket Egg Rolls Shaken Beef Popcorn Chicken Brisket Fries All were incredible, everything tasted different with no muddled flavors. Price: was relatively expensive (not a cheap way) for a some what smaller portion of food. Because everything was so incredible, can't complain honestly. It's worth it, the quality of meat was great all around. Staff: incredibly nice, fast, and polite people that seemed excited to be at help us out which we appreciated!
