Banh Canh Tom Cua

Jimmy T

Our review for this restaurant is long overdue. We've been here countless times and this is by far one of our FAVORITE places to eat in Bellaire Chinatown. Service is always friendly and prompt. Unlike some smaller restaurants, both cash and card are accepted. Atmosphere is also a plus! Restaurant is clean and the background music isn't too loud. They have tables by the windows for those that enjoy a bit of light and also booths by the wall for a more private dining experience. The food here is the main attraction! Even though they have a pretty big menu, we've always stuck with the same items for all of our visit. Goi Tom Sate - their salads are AMAZING! The portion size is big enough that one plate can easily serve as an entree or be shared between 2 people. It is a bit spicy so be aware. The standout is the vinaigrette itself. Always full of flavor and delicious 😋 Goi Do Bien Sate - the same salad as above except it also has clams and squids alongside the classic shrimp. Both dishes are equally spectacular! Banh Canh Dac Biet - the signature dish, Vietnamese Udon with softshell crab. Portion size was great! The dish was full of meats and noodles. Broth was perfectly seasoned! You can also choose between a thick or clear broth. Banh Canh Tom Cua - much like the previous dish except for having loose crabmeat and crab cakes instead. If you're craving Vietnamese Udon, this is THE PLACE to go! Great pricing and a phenomenal dining experience. We cannot wait to try the rest of the manu and will remain loyal customers for many more years to come. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We ate bánh canh dặc biệt with the soft shell crab, honestly it is ok. 3.5/5 5 stars for quickness. Food came out about 5 minutes later. Overall I would come back again and probably tried other dishes.

Good bowl of Banh Canh Cua. We do not have these kind of dishes back in our states so it was a pleasant surprise. Very delicious.

My grandpa’s favorite spot for bánh canh and now mine too! Rich broth, fresh noodles, generous portions! all for just $8.95 with their current promo. One of the best bowls of comfort food in Houston. 🍜.

This is definitely in my top three worst Vietnamese restaurants. All the food tasted like it was about to go bad — the meat was dry and tough, and all the seafood tasted far from fresh. The pho had a strong, fishy smell the moment I opened it. Absolutely awful. I just hope my stomach survives the night.
