The best Asian restaurants in Humble, TX are Vietnamese, Korean-Japanese and Indian, and they cluster in three places: a short run of pho shops on the North Sam Houston Parkway East near Wilson Road, the stretch of FM 1960 Bypass that crosses US 59, and the US 59 frontage near Deerbrook Mall. Our seven picks are Yama Kitchen, The Curry House, The Monk's Indian Bistro, V Bistro, The Pho Spoon, Local Pho and Rising Sun Sushi & Fusion, and every one was confirmed open on its own official website in November 2026.

Here is the tip most people miss: Humble's two Indian restaurants double as its best Indo-Chinese counters. The Curry House lists Gobi Manchurian and Chicken Hakka Noodles next to its goat biryani, and The Monk's Indian Bistro says its dishes draw on regions of both China and India. If you want two cuisines at one table, start on FM 1960.

The quick list

  • For all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, hot pot and sushi: Yama Kitchen, 224 FM 1960 Bypass Rd E.
  • For curry and Indo-Chinese, a few doors down: The Curry House, 202 FM 1960 Bypass Rd E.
  • For biryani on the Deerbrook side: The Monk's Indian Bistro, 9626 FM 1960 Bypass Rd W.
  • For Vietnamese plates beyond pho: V Bistro, 19775 US-59.
  • For shaken beef and a kumquat lemonade at lunch: The Pho Spoon, 9360 N Sam Houston Pkwy E.
  • For a beef rib pho after work: Local Pho, 9240 N Sam Houston Pkwy E.
  • For late sushi on a Friday: Rising Sun Sushi & Fusion, 9506 N Sam Houston Pkwy E.

Where does Humble start and stop in this guide?

This guide covers the City of Humble plus the surrounding unincorporated area with a Humble mailing address in ZIP codes 77338 and 77396. That takes in old town Humble around Main Street, the Deerbrook Mall and US 59 (Eastex Freeway) frontage, FM 1960 Bypass, and the North Sam Houston Parkway East (Beltway 8) corridor near Wilson Road.

We left out Atascocita (ZIP 77346) and Kingwood (77339 and 77345), even though many restaurants there also put Humble on the envelope. That rule is why you won't find the Thai restaurants on FM 1960 East or the sushi spots near Lake Houston here. Our Humble area page and best restaurants in Atascocita guide cover that side of town. One quirk: Local Pho's own website gives its 77396 address as Houston, but it sits inside the same Beltway strip as The Pho Spoon, so we kept it.

How we chose

We looked for Asian restaurants with a clear specialty and dishes you can name. Each pick had to show an address inside our boundary and current hours on its own official website in November 2026. Several well-reviewed Humble names didn't make it because we could not find a working official website or social page to confirm they are still operating; they are listed in our editor's notes, and we will add them once they can be checked.

Hours change, so treat every schedule below as typical and check the restaurant's site before you drive over.

Korean BBQ, hot pot and sushi on FM 1960

Yama Kitchen

FM 1960 Bypass east of US 59, 224 FM 1960 Bypass Rd E, Humble, TX 77338 · all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, hot pot and sushi · open daily

Yama Kitchen in Humble is the big group dinner on this list: one room that does all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue, hot pot and sushi. It has another location in Pasadena, and the restaurant says its founder's journey started with his first job at a restaurant called Yama Kitchen in New York. Hours are typically 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

How the price works: the site lists separate weekday lunch and dinner prices for adults and two child age bands, with weekday lunch running Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Doing both barbecue and hot pot costs a few dollars more. The menus note an automatic gratuity for groups of eight or more. Check the current prices on the Humble page before you go.

What to order: the Yama Short Ribs, Signature Pork Belly and Signature Pork Cheek for the grill, the Sichuan spicy beef tallow broth for the hot pot, and Sear Ribeye Sushi or Yellowtail Jalapeño from the sushi side. The dinner menu also lists Wagyu Chuck Roll and snow crab.

Why go: a birthday, a team dinner or a teenager who eats like three adults.

Indian and Indo-Chinese

The Curry House

FM 1960 Bypass east of US 59, 202 FM 1960 Bypass Rd E, Ste A1, Humble, TX 77338 · Indian · closed Tuesdays

Hours are typically 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday; it is closed on Tuesday.

What to order: the Malabar Fish Curry if you like coastal South Indian flavors, or goat biryani from the signature biryani list. For the Indo-Chinese side, get Gobi Manchurian, Chili Paneer or Chicken Hakka Noodles. Garlic naan and a mango lassi round it out.

Why go: it covers North Indian, South Indian and Indo-Chinese from one menu, which makes it the easiest Indian dinner in Humble for a mixed group.

The Monk's Indian Bistro

Deerbrook side, 9626 FM 1960 Bypass Rd W, Humble, TX 77338 · Indian and Indo-Chinese · open daily

The Monk's Indian Bistro in Humble is the open-every-day Indian option on the Deerbrook side of US 59. Its website describes signature dishes inspired by regions of China and India, and leads with three categories: biryanis, breads and desserts. Hours are typically 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

What to order: a biryani and fresh bread, then dessert. The full menu is posted as images on the restaurant's site, so check it before you order.

Why go: it is the Indian pick that is open on Tuesday, when The Curry House is closed.

Vietnamese: pho, rice plates and banh mi

V Bistro Vietnamese Noodle & Grill

US 59 near Deerbrook Mall, 19775 US-59, Humble, TX 77338 · Vietnamese · open daily

V Bistro is the Vietnamese restaurant to choose when you want more than a bowl of pho, with a long menu of grilled meats, rice plates and appetizers in what the restaurant calls an upscale dining room on the US 59 frontage. It is typically open 10 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. every day, so plan on lunch or an early dinner.

What to order: Bistro Shrimp Quiches (banh khot), the little crisp rice cakes that are rarer on suburban menus; fresh spring rolls (goi cuon) with the house peanut sauce; grilled pork vermicelli (bun thit nuong); or the grilled pork chop rice plate (com suon nuong). Meatball pho (pho bo vien) covers the soup side.

Why go: banh khot alone is worth the stop, and it is a short drive from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Our IAH food guide covers the terminals.

The Pho Spoon

Fall Creek area, 9360 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Ste 400, Humble, TX 77396 · Vietnamese · lunch and early dinner

The Pho Spoon is a family-owned Vietnamese spot in a strip next to Smoothie King, near Wilson Road and the Beltway, and it is built for lunch. Hours are typically 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday; its site lists no Sunday hours.

What to order: Shaken Beef (bo luc lac), Combination Pho or Grilled Chicken Pho, and the Shrimp Egg Roll Bites. Don't skip the drinks: the menu lists Coco-Cane, a Salted Plum Kumquat Lemonade and Vietnamese iced coffee.

Why go: the salted plum kumquat lemonade is the drink to save for a hot Houston afternoon.

Local Pho

Beltway 8 near Wilson Road, 9240 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Ste 105, 77396 · Vietnamese · open daily

Local Pho is a two-location Vietnamese shop, one in the Heights and one here, and its website says the recipes have been passed down through the family. It is the late option on the Beltway pho row, typically open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

What to order: the Beef Rib Combo pho, or Eye Round Steak if you like it simple. Chicken pho and a vegan pho are on the menu too. Grilled pork, grilled chicken or fried tofu banh mi are available at this location, and Banh Mi Fries are the side to share. The cold cut, meatball and fried shrimp banh mi are marked Heights only.

Why go: the restaurant's own line is "Chopsticks are optional but slurping is expected." Take it at its word.

Sushi on the Beltway

Rising Sun Sushi & Fusion

Is there Thai or Chinese food in Humble?

There is, but not on this list yet. The Thai restaurants people call Humble sit on FM 1960 East in Atascocita, outside our boundary, and the Chinese restaurants in old town and on FM 1960 Bypass did not have a working official website or social page we could check. For a dedicated trip, our best Thai food in Houston guide and best Chinese food in Houston guide are the places to look.

Save this: a Humble Asian food route
