B10 Vietnamese Cafe

They have an awesome variety of sandwiches here. They make your food to order, and always get it out quickly. Some of the menu items are a bit overpriced, but for the most part it’s a good a lunch spot.

I really like their Dodge Bo (I also call it steak and eggs). I personally prefer their dodge bo over Bo Né Houston’s dodge bo. I think the meat quality is better than that of Bo Né Houston’s. They also season it a lot differently than Bo Né Houston does. Basically B10 dodge bo has better quality meat and more flavor than Bo Né Houston does. A meal for two usually amounts to almost $ 30. The Westheimer location is more clean than the Bellaire location. Sometimes the Bellaire location smells like Chinese herbs as well, so I like to go to the Westheimer location more whenever I can. I believe the Westheimer location also stays open longer than the Bellaire one does, so that is a plus as well!

This food was awesome! Fast, appeared to be fresh, and good customer service. Nothing fancy but yummy! Definitely try Beef rock and roll! Had it with fried rice. The beef was tender and the peppers and onions were fresh! Veggie egg rolls were great too!

Making a lunch choice was difficult. Besides the black board special, you can kick up your Banh Mi to a different level of flavors and protein choice. Grilled shrimp anyone?
The price point is great!

They should rename the bahn mi to the lingchi because the bread was so stale it performed slow slicing death of a thousand cuts in my mouth, pork was good though

Chicken vermicelli bowl to go please. Quick, flavorful, and will go again. Next to try will be the banh mi (but so hard to choose which one will be first).

I’m always near the area and passed it up. But was hungry and gave it a try.
Tried the crawfish banh mi, really liked it a lot. Went back to try their phở. Got a medium size bowl which really looked like a small size, but other than that phở was on point.

I go back, often. Why? because it’s fast and delicious. I know there are much better places for Vietnamese food, however when you want to have a quick lunch date with your lady or a nice change from burgers and fries. B-​10 is a great choice.

When you are craving a traditional Vietnamese rice plate, this is the place to go! I like mine slathered with fish sauce! The fried egg on top is the icing on the rice. ;)
Just go.

We were craving phở and B10 was nearby.
First thing we noticed was that it was very modern. There was a counter with chips, like at Subways. The menu seemed to be made for people new to phở, with step by step instructions. I was scared that the taste would not be up to the standard of more traditional restaurants.
Then, we noticed the prices. $ 7 for a bowl of phở. Fair enough. $ 5 for a banh mi sandwich… Wtf?
We got a bowl of phở with beef and a combination banh mi.
The phở came out. It was tiny. A third or a fourth the size of other restaurants. Seriously, guys?! The taste was, luckily, spot on. No complaints.
Then, we tried the banh mi. The taste was OK, but it was so so dry! After every bite, I had to drink some water.
Overall, the phở was good, but costs 4 times more than other phở restaurants. The banh mi was OK, but it was too dry.
Try elsewhere, guys.

There are two locations. This one is location is conveniently located near my apartment. They have a good selection banh mi with a variety of meats including pork, chicken, beef and even crawfish. They also have phở, bun bo hue and vermicilli combinations. I ordered the grilled pork, the meat was tender and flavorful. The only problem was the bread was a bit too dry for me. It was also a bit overpriced compared to the banh mi places in china town.

I think this place has the best Phở in the area; never too salty.
The Bahn Mi are getting to where they have too much aoli, but you still get plenty of ingrediants to fill out the sandwhich.

Not bad, not great. There are so many places in the city with amazing Banh Mi that it was hard to be really happy with my sandwich. The bread was eh, the meat had an alright taste but was pretty fatty. The spring rolls and the dipping sauce that accompanied them was good.
The noodle bowls other people had looked pretty good. They might be worth a try.

It’s a pricey (if you’re in the know of what other sandwich shops cost) little banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) shop. They also serve vermicelli, rice and noodles.
It’s good Vietnamese food and I’ve been coming here for over 3 years. Opens late — until 10pm or so. The portions of food for an entrée is small to average.
I come here when I’m in a hurry and don’t care for a fancy eat-​in place and I can wear flip flops and beach gear.

Love this place
Hard to find vegetarian phở and this is probably the best vegetarian phở on houston.
Super yummy and the staff is really courteous and friendly :)

This is a great place to grab a quick lunch! It’s in a pretty central location (between Hillcroft and Westheimer.) I went for an early lunch around 11 am and was super relieved that it wasn’t overcrowded like every other lunch spot within a 3 mile radius.
I had the chicken banhmi combo which comes with 1 spring roll and a drink. Only pork and shrimp rolls are pre-​made. Chicken and beef are made to order, but the cashier told me it would take «a long time» as if she was discouraging me from ordering it. Since I was on lunch, I opted out the beef spring roll I wanted and went for the shrimp roll.
The sandwich was delicious! I especially loved how soft and fresh the bread tasted. They were pretty generous with the chicken serving size as well.
The shrimp in the spring roll was pretty bland, and it seemed a little too warm for shrimp. This is why I gave them the lower star count.
Small detail, but I really appreciated and enjoyed the fresh cucumber water available. It’s served in a pitcher with an infuser that allowed the water to retain the cucumber flavor without turning that mucky color that I hate with floating cucumber pulp (gross).
This place is small, so I probably would never eat-​in. But I will definitely be back! This is going to be my go-​to light lunch!
They totally should deliver. I would be all over that!

Solid Vietnamese sandwiches. I went for the beef and kimchi, good choice. They are higher priced than other places, but more meat. One sandwich is enough. I also got a spring which was passable, nothing exceptional. Food comes out hot and quickly which is a good combination.
I would say I am partial to some of the places in midtown, but for the location, good.

Update: now that I’ve picked up takeout phở at least 7 times, time for an edit. Overall, still pretty good, but very inconsistent. Sometimes I get lots of noodles, sometimes not. Sometimes I get a little baggie stuffed with lots of rare meat to drop in myself, other times I get a few pieces already plopped on top of the noodles. Sometimes they give Sriracha, other times a chunky chili sauce, or no sauces at all like I got last time. So. Be sure to ask if you like something in particular.

Phở to go! This place is so cute inside, and the girl at the counter is so sweet. Sometimes I think phở places can skimp a little when you order to go, but my large bowl was definitely large, and came with plenty of rare beef and fresh add ins. I’ve never been given a cute takeout bowl and spoon like they gave me before– how convenient! I’ll definitely be back for more.

B10 is becoming a fave go-​to place for casual meals with friends or a quick dinner. It’s a great location because of their quick service, extensive menu, and generous food portions. I like coming here bc it makes my day when they ask me if I want to have brown rice or white rice for my rock and roll beef plate. Is it weird that I don’t get this question very often? Or maybe I don’t order enough rice plates when I go out? Hmm… not sure. Anyhow, my response: umm, heck yes! It’s not everyday that I get offered to order brown rice as a healthy option for my meal. ;D
B10 is a Vietnamese cuisine restaurant. They have two locations in Houston (that I know of). They are best known for their sandwiches, with B10 being their most popular sandwich. Hence, the name of their café. Popular rice dishes are: The Rock and Roll beef and their Dodge Bo (Viet-​style steak and eggs w/​all the crazy, delicious trimmings of pâté, french bread, salad). They also have some traditional Vietnamese noodle soups on their menu such as Bun Bo Hue, that my friend loves to order.
But to me, this place is on my awesome list because — They offer Korean bulgogi here (!!) You have the choice of ordering bulgogi in a sandwich or as a rice plate… and to top it off, they will serve it to you with kim chi! Mmm… kim chi makes me happy.

Stormy afternoon had me Unilocaling for some noodles and B10’s spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue) was calling my name. The broth was ohh soo good and I didn’t even have to add sate (chili oil), amaze! I honesty liked the tofu in there better than the beef, it was so savory!
The only negative was I wish they put more noodles for the price. Other than that the place was nice, clean, and the lady ringing me up was very helpful! If I lived here I would probably be a regular.
