Viet Alley Restaurant, Houston TX

The mì quảng here is PHENOMENAL! The broth was so flavorful. The shrimp and pork were so tender. It is part of the $8.99 daily special which is a complete steal. I could eat this everyday

I stopped by here back in 2021 and it was great! I’m not sure if anything changed but ver since but hopefully not.

The food was decent from what I can remember. Definitely visually pleasing! But honestly, what stole me heart was the Egg Coffee! I tried both versions but I definitely like the one that was sweeter (I’ll make an edit once I figure out the name!). Obviously, it’s not like the ones you can get in Vietnam but it was still really good.

We had to stop by again, right before we left, just to get the coffee again!

This place is the AMAZING! Fast service, they are always happy to see you. Love how sweet they are! The drinks are so authentic and delicious, it's always too good that I don't really want to share, haha!
Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Great hole in the wall! Good food. I tried the Mi Quang Tom Thit plate, which was delicious! The peanut buttery broth was full of flavor and the flat yellow noodles were perfectly cooked! The portion was filling and served with plenty of pork belly. I also tried a bit of the grilled pork from the vermicelli plate and it has a good sweet and barbecue flavor to it. Definitely recommend this place! Iced coffee is good too, although be advised, it is strong!

Bo ne was pretty good, it had same flavor that i used to have back in my hometown Nha Trang. Xiumai was a bit sweet to me. Bun rieu was really bad, I couldnt eat it. Servers were friendly and fast.

Delicious fried chicken with their special house soy sauce! Hu tieu was flavorful. Egg coffee was good too. Friendly service. He checked up on us regularly and food came quick too.

My iced coffee cup basically blew up because of differential pressure between room temp and fridge. Waiter said it’s “not his fault” so I had to pay for it? Yeah terrible service.

I have been there twice. First time ordered 10lbs of crawfish. It was a great deal @ $7/lbs and the service was pleasant. Went back the next weekend for the crawfish and ordered some drinks as well. Again, food was decent (6/10) but the price was right and service was pleasant. Towards the end of the meal, my server told me about a deal they had…. Dungeness crab and fried rice for $40. When I got the bill, they charged me full price. When I brought the bill to the lil boss, he said the deal was for easter weekend. I informed him my server told me dif and instead of honoring his employee’s pitch, he asked me to point out which server told me. At that point, I told him not to worry about it as I’m no snitch. On top of that, the lil boss said my wife and I should check out his other restaurant bc they served american chinese food like gen tso’s chicken and broccoli beef. Ive got no idea why he’d think we would order that type of food (we don’t). Maybe because we dont speak vietnamese? We arent vietnamese so we dont speak the language. Anyways, as i said before, the food is decent…. Not the best, not the worst. And the price is right if you’re looking for cheap seafood. However, the self described ‘owner’ could use a lesson on customer service. All he had to do was honor his server’s word and he would have gained a loyal customer. Instead, I am much less inclined to visit this restaurant again.

Can’t beat the value of the crawfish here this season. Buy 5 lbs get free chicken wings! Think it was $7/lb. The house special flavor is a thick citrus sauce with light garlic

Food is Good! Pretty good menu serving up authentic Vietnamese cuisine. We order the hu tieu bo kho, bun rieu and com thit nùong and they all was on point, a 4 out of 5 star. We enjoy it.

To the Owner or Manager: PLEASE put decent napkin for you customer to use instead the the hard cheap paper roll that you cannot even tear and it hurt our mouth when we use it. These are for the restroom uses when you finish washing your hands.

I like their Mi Quang and Bo Ne. Their prices are good, not too expensive for a good size portion of quality food. Their Canh Bun was so so but that's just my opinion as my friend said they liked it a lot. Overall, it is a fun place to visit.

Love this daily special menu. I would love to give 5 stars, just little disappointed when i ordered togo 15 min before i came but till wait 10 more min while the restaurant was only have 2 tablets dining. Make sure ask them how long for the wait. Ps: The waitress offered me the drink but i was late for work.

I ordered a variety of food for our party. Best service and even better food. Definitely recommend for catering service. We ordered:
Mi tom bo toi
Com chien hai sang
Ngheu xao bo toi
Goi bo
Wings
Every single dish was
Especially their noodles with garlic butter shrimp and scallops, and their clams.

Another amazing lunch! I've ordered 3 plates of the Korean BBQ with steam rice, sunny side egg, pickled veggies for my coworkers and I. Everyone enjoyed it and we sure will be back for more! Customer Service was a plus. Friendly and helpful.
