Rieu Cua - The Energy Corridor, Houston

This is the most wonderful Vietnamese restaurant that I've ever experienced. My family came there yesterday. I eat Bun rieu oc (crab and snail noodles soup), my son ate a special crab noodles soup, and my husband ate bun dau mam tom (vermicelli with tofu and pork). All of the dishes were so delicious. The price is cheap. The restaurant owner is very nice and soft. I and my family will come back again. I attach the menu for your reference.

The older waitress was rude! Many times, they don't pay attention to what customers need or take care of customers. I hope the owner will consider and adjust. There is a boy who serves him well, I really like him!

This is a small and family owned restaurant. The food is decent, not bad. I would not mind going back.

I was craving bun rieu and my go to spot wasn't open. Took my daughter here to try out and I think I've just found my new go to. I love the oc they used and the crab is pretty fresh. It's a small place but I'm come back for sure.

By a long shot, tastiest bun rieu I've had in a restaurant in a LONG time. Depth in the broth is where it needs to be, layers upon layers of flavor between the crab, pork, and unctuousness of the mam rouc. It's the closest I've had to the old Quan Ba Tho downtown, and all you Viet OG's know what a high bar they set.We had two bowls of the Dac Biet (special) today. It comes with oc (escargot) sliced thinly, huyet (blood cake), fried tofu, a delish lemongrass cha made with pork and oc, fresh quartered tomatoes, and of course the rieu (crab meat beaten with egg and pork). If you want some mam rouc/tom (shrimp paste) on the side to dip or add more to your soup, just ask. The bun is a medium thickness, not the thinner vermicelli, which I prefer the thicker noodles. The plate of herbs was fresh, had the green and purple perilla, sprouts, and shaved banana blossoms...the latter a rarity these days. Rieu Cua has earned a high spot in our Chi-Town rotation of places to hit up. The lady helping us there didn't start out super friendly, but warmed up to us after chatting a little in Vietnamese and after she realized we knew our way around a good bowl of Bun Rieu. Very nice lady.Btw, the Bo Bia was really good too!
