@mulmye:
 
I dont go to that strip center because it's a pain getting out of there. I would like to try this place, though, so I will most likely park in the theater lot and just walk over... 4951

So I tried them out last night. They were super busy, but that was to be expected. Food was okay, but didn't "wow" me. They had a problem with my friend's order. They forgot to add the number they gave them for delivery (they use a system like Whataburger). As a result, my friend saw food flying out of the kitchen, but not being dropped in front of them for consumption. When they inquired about their order, they quickly brought their food out, but the food was cold. They sent it back for reheat and when it came back, the rice was mushy and the meat was cold. They ate it, but instead of complaining to management, they just complained to me. Emoticon
 
Also, their egg rolls, while tasty, were super greasy. If I had to guess, I would say their oil wasn't hot enough, because the egg rolls were done, just greasy. All in all, for what I got, portion wise, taste, and price, I might not be back. Will probably give them one last chance and then write it off. Was hoping to find a new casual dining place. 4951

I really want to try this place but maybe during in a couple of weeks when they aren't so busy and when they have a chance to work out the kinks. 4951

I doubt it.  Bulgogi is Korean, not Vietnamese. 4951

I would suggest you all wait a couple of weeks until they get the kinks worked out. People always want to be the first to try but at the same time its better for them to get established and work out all the kinks to go in there while they are just starting out and super packed.  4951

@JGreff, that is because the rents that companies have to pay here are insane!  Only way they can do business, for any length of time, is to charge what they do.

@Fallon:
 
 
More insane than in midtown? 4951

I went Saturday afternoon, they had about 1/4 full inside. I didn't have to wait to order.
We ordered 4 bahn mis, 2 vermicelli orders.
All different.
They messed up one of the vermicelli orders (it was correct on the receipt) and the sandwiches were about $2 more apiece than i pay elsewhere, but not near Kingwood.
I ordered to go, so didn't find the error until we got home.
It was a no big deal error, and they have some kinks to work out, so i will cut them slack on it.
There was also a second error on my order, they included an order of spring rolls i didn't order. I will next time however as the rolls and the peanut sauce were excellent.
But we found the vermicelli dishes a little lacking in flavor. They were good, fresh ingredients, just missing something i am use to, my guess is the sauce. The pork in it was excellent, but overall, just missing a little something.
The bahn mi bread was good, but i found it wasn't really filled enough. I think they need slightly smaller rolls. They were very large for a bahn mi, but the flavor was good.
I'll pay the extra price for having this close by.
Also, i was texted 2 orders from their on-line menu, and these had bao sandwiches in them, only to find when i was ordering that don't yet have bao.
So give them some time. They seem to have a decent amount of seating inside, and even some outside. 4951

Ate there and was not impressed at all. Overpriced for the amount of food you get. The menu lacks variety. I believe they only have 15 ish items on their menu. Wife got the shrimp plate which was $11.50, got 5 shrimp, scoop of rice, a lettuce leaf and 2 cauliflower. Very bland and portion was awful. I had beef dish and flavor was good but again portion was awful. Came in hungry left hungry. Maybe for a light snack this place is ok, but not for a meal. I think they are greedy with portion size. I will not be returning. 4951
