B&T Cafe - Houston, Texas

Went here for boba drink one time, now I came back to try out the food after work. The grilled pork sandwich tastes good but only 2-3 thin slices of meat; the shrimp vermicelli was terrible, not grilled but steamed tiny few shrimps in the whole plate with all vermicelli and shredded lettuce and cucumber. Overall, the food not worth for the price ($20 for two) . Hopefully the owner will improve the food quality!

The best banh mi and pho in the Galleria/River Oaks area. The portions are perfect and very filling. We highly recommend the BBQ Banh Mi, Beef Pho, and Bulgogi Fries!👌🏻

We went again today, and it's still just as good!

Food is great! The prices are very affordable and the food is very filling and tasty. There's Banh Mi, Pho, and a lot of drinks to choose from like Milk Tea, Smoothies, and teas like black and green tea.

Would definitely recommend as a small hidden gem in Houston!

I went there last month. This place is good and clean. There are tables inside so you can dine in. People here are nice. My sandwich is delicious and reasonable price. Sure to stop by again ❤️

I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Thai Tea drinks. Both were not too sweet at all which is great. The coffee really wakes you up 🤩 the tapioca isn’t too sweet at all. It’s still nice and squishy.

Banh Mi - 5/5
The Lemon grass beef & BBQ Pork is really flavorful! The bread is soft and has a nice crunch! It doesn’t mess up the roof of your mouth.

Owner is really nice and the employees treat you well. While your washing your clothes at the washateria next door you can enjoy some good food while you wait 🙂

First time visit. Ordered pork Banh mi and taro coconut smoothie. Friendly service. Boba smoothie tasted a little faint in flavor. Banh mi was on the smaller portions side, but was good and the pate was very good.

First time trying, food is really yummy and a great price. Ran in to grab a bite before my nail appointment next door. I did combination fried rice and dumplings for food. Shrimp & chicken ate super tasty, good size too. Got a strawberry black tea as well. Got my food quick! Would recommend trying!

B&T Cafe is a small Vietnamese restaurant offering banh mi, broken rice dishes, pho, and other Vietnamese dishes along with a variety of beverages like boba milk teas and smoothies at a reasonable price.

The restaurant is lodged between a washateria and salon, behind the tacos tierra calientes food truck. Parking can be tough since the lot does not have a lot of parking, but there is some street parking in the neighborhood behind it. The interior is simple and clean. The owners are always welcoming and fast. There's a small bar in the front to sit at and a few tables in the back for dining in.

We have had the bbq pork, chicken lemongrass, and tofu banh mi along with the fries, vietnamese green milk tea, and house milk tea with boba. Every banh mi always comes with a good ratio of vegetables and protein inside between the crispy and soft baguettes. The bbq pork was juicy and the sauce was delicious, though I wish there was more sauce to fill every bite. The chicken lemongrass was juicy and bursting with flavor as well. The tofu was just OK. All the banh mi were filling. The fries were served hot, and they are tossed in salt and sugar which gives an interesting sweet/salty flavor which I personally really liked. Be warned that these fries don't travel well when ordering to go though - they get soggy pretty quick- but when dining in they are fantastic. The milk tea and boba is amazing and probably our most favorite thing from here! The portion size is pretty big, the milk tea is delicious and creamy (heavier on the milk side rather than tea), and the boba is soft and flavorful. The vietnamese green milk tea was also delicous, though the green tea flavor overtook the "vietnamese milk tea" flavor I'm accustomed to.

Overall the food is delicious, the drinks are phenomenal, and prices are very reasonable. Make sure to give this place a try!
