Hughie's

Oh wow. Why did I wait so long to eat here? I don't know but now I can't wait to return. We were in the mood for a traditional Banh Mi (we ordered a sauteed chicken and a sauteed beef and shared them) with an appetizer of steamed dumplings (the sandwiches were delish and the dumplings were good but average). I was definitely doing some rubbernecking as we walked past other people's tables while being seated. I know - it's rude to stare at people while they're eating but those fried rice platters looked phenomenal. Most people added a fried egg on top and many added an egg roll. There were several things on the menu I had a hard time passing up - vermicelli bowls, turmeric fish and chips, burgers, grilled salmon, country fried steak, oh my! Plus the desserts and Vietnamese iced coffee. A return trip (or two) is definitely in my future. Sorry, no photos! We were too hungry. Maybe next time.

Pretty good place to eat and the food is always served hot. They have good choices on the menu even though I always get the same thing because it’s just that good! The wait can be a while though especially around lunch time depending on the wait you could come and go in a hours lunch time depending how far the drive is for you. Overall would recommend giving them a try.

Misters, outdoor fans and shade - they understand the necessities for outdoor dining in Houston! Nice neighborhood restaurant with a mix of Vietnamese dishes and American bar food. Only disappointment was they didn’t have Pho. Apparently it’s served in the mornings and they sell out by afternoon according to the waitress. Also, not a lot of noodles in the vermicelli bowl. Tasty food and worth the visit.

Hughies is known for their shaking beef and it did not disappoint!! My only complaint was I wish there was more of it in the vermicelli bowl... The plates had a lot more beef so I felt like the bowl was kind of lacking. The salad itself was refreshing and crunchy, perfectly dressed. The beer selection was great and the yuzu ginger had a great zing to it. Service is seat yourself and we were served very quickly. The country fried steak was large and absolutely smothered in gravy. They also have heaping portions of salad. It was hard to eat it all which is a good problem.
