All of the flavors were well done down to the details and all of the ingredients were good quality. The first new place I have eaten in a while that I am really excited to go back to. Wanted good vietnamese and a clean quiet restaraunt for a date and Huynh was exactly that.hobbasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-10220688516504846122009-03-29T19:09:00.000-05:002009-03-29T19:09:00.000-05:00yes, Huynh is owned by the same people who ran Pho...yes, Huynh is owned by the same people who ran Pho Huynh. The menu is exactly the same. I second the recommendation for Kim Chau on Long Point. People will come and buy pots of their Bun Bo Hue to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-14197722476355816752009-03-27T21:34:00.000-05:002009-03-27T21:34:00.000-05:00Thien An is bad@ss.

First...Went to Huynh with my wife for lunch today. First time there and it was great and pretty busy (a good sign). We ordered the soft spring pork rolls, bún bò Huế and mi hoac hu tieu xao ga (noodles with mixed seafood and vegetables). The soft spring rolls were a treat and we really liked the soft rice noodle wrapping. The bún bò Huế was as good as they were reviewed. The waitress was very friendly and suggested we get the noodle dish 'crispy' style, her favorite style. The gravy for the sauce was yummy and the seafood portions were fairly generous. The noodles were pan seared enough to be just a little bit crispy on the top of the dish. Definitely will be going back for more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086762247391198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-79383063618926012012009-03-26T13:02:00.000-05:002009-03-26T13:02:00.000-05:00mmmmm ...

My favorite version in Houston is at Kim Chau restaurant on Long Point near Silber. Would love to hear your take on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-84543225452871831652009-03-25T10:52:00.000-05:002009-03-25T10:52:00.000-05:00@Rubiao - There is a Chinese restaurant at the oth...@Rubiao - There is a Chinese restaurant at the other end of the same strip mall. I believe it is called Hung Kee. Iused to go there several times a year from about 1995 - 2005.<BR/><BR/>The main room of the restaurant is a giant buffet. I never liked the buffet. But the restaurant has menu service in a small side room. The menu items are fairly good. Sadly, few customers choose the menu, which says a lot about American consumers of Chinese food.anonymouseaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983816483601480054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-88031354714757311602009-03-25T09:26:00.000-05:002009-03-25T09:26:00.000-05:00I ate at Huynh few weeks ago and had those dumplin...I ate at Huynh few weeks ago and had those dumplings. I'd never had anything like them, so pillowy. At first I didn't know what to think, but I definitely wanted more. I have been trying to go back for breakfast ever since, but its not open on Sunday. Have you ever tried that Chinese place next door? I'd love to know about a good Chinese place over there.Rubiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094661174218777843noreply@blogger.com
