recommend drive to Lake Charles, La( about 2 hrs away) for L'auberge and Golden Nugget casino for the buffet. They located at the same location. L'auberger now has crawfish Wed. night or something like that, check their news, also cajun food, Asian Food, American food, and large selection of dessert.

Golden Nuggets specialty is king crab legs.


**Use Yelp app to find the restaurants. I know some Yelp ratings are bogus. But it is a useful app.

Fogo De Chao = buffet server bring food, Brazilian steak house.. go there really hungry.. a lot of meat.

Taste of Texas = American steak house, very good...want Texas steak, try this place.. go during lunch time.. avoid dinner too crowded, not enough parking even it is huge parking lot.

Self serve salad bar.. good stuff.

There are also yogurt shop next to phở Điện.... and shaved ice ice cream.. fruit Taiwanese/Korean style I guess....

Trong Hong Kong mall food court also have quá..try them.

Bánh Mì Don's Sandwich..

Nghé Ngọ French/Viet cafe next to Lees Sandwich .. also the Bún Bò Huế place there is not bad..

and Parisian Cafe and Bakery...many locations.


QuáN Mai downtown.. open late.. if you go downtown.. another Kim Son also at downtown.. not many Asian restaurant left in downtown.. they all moved to southwest area..

Quên nói là Papadeaux Seafood inside both Houston airports.. and outside... cajun food.. fried alligator (taste like fried chicken  ) .. they are pretty good.. also have crawfish during season.. so if you stuck in the airport .. eat at that place.

4/ phở A Hung near by phở a Dien ăn ngon hơn

Hong Kong food street open late every day.. at least 2AM .. til customer leave. . Stuff I have tried there : cháo hột vịt bác thảo, woton noodle with roasted duck.. dumpling noodle.. Japanese tofu with minced pork. ..good.

Consult Yelp pic for food you like.

BEwara: they speak both Chinese, Vietnamese..

Chinese restaurants near Bellaire : SInh Sinh, Fu Fu cafe ..Vinh Hoa.. Tan Tan. ..Fung Kitchen, Ocean Palace.. those are big name establishments.

Confucius Restaurant for cua lá seng, lobster 2 for $20.. It is aka Viet Lai. Confusius is the new favorite restaurant. ..maybe wait time on the weekend.

There are also many smaller Chinese Cafe.. Xiong Cafe.. Cafe 101 (always see young , good looking chic work here  ) . East Wall Chinese Restaurant, Shanghai Restaurant, Peking Cuisine Restaurant

Search on Yelp and you'll see, because most of the times the signs are written in Chinese.. I can't read Chinese..

Hot Pot City is good. But I prefer Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot buffet.

Don't know about Nha Trang.. crawfish.. I heard L.A. Crawfish near Blackblock rd is good. and the crawfish place inside Hong Kong 4 food court.

phỡ Điện.. phở Danh...phở Huỳnh By Night..Pho VN, . bunch of phở... they might change by the time you get there..

Hotel near Bellaire Blvd, you should select Westchase area.. Hilton and Mariott Westchase are not far from Bellaire Chinatown. Free parking, big hotel. Don't need to get on tollway. It also near a bunch of American/Italian restaurants and bars

Ai đã từng trải nghiệm còn ok chứ Yelp không có chính xác đâu. Tui cũng vì không hỏi trước cứ online Yelp Yelp mà lần đi FL end up trúng mấy nhà hàng đồ việt dở như cóc lửng, chợ thì nhỏ bán thiếu tùm lum, chợ quê hẻo lánh ở TX còn nhiều đồ ăn ngon hơn chợ việt nam ở FL mà tui search on Yelp. Lần đó lái xe về Houston đói rã ruột vì ăn không được đồ ăn dở quá tệ ở FL luôn.
Đồ Houston ăn ok chứ LA không bảo đảm, chỉ có crawfish maybe. Dân LA thèm đồ ăn VN còn phải mò về Houston.

***Đó là những gì tui biết về Yelp, maybe I'm wrong...***
