A fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food! The broken rice plate with grilled pork, Chinese sausage, and a fried egg is a masterpiece and easily the best around. The egg noodle with wonton soup is another favorite; the broth is satisfyingly flavorful. For a great start, try the spring rolls with Chinese sausage and omelette. The restaurant is clean, the service is great, and it’s a wonderful choice for a meal with loved ones.

Now this is a well-run establishment if I’ve ever seen one. They have lots of friendly and knowledgeable staff and an extensive menu. The decor is very nice, inside and out. Our large party enjoyed every dish we ordered and gobbled it up like we hadn’t eaten for days. I highly recommend checking this place out, you won’t be disappointed.

Phenomenal food! I would give 11/10 if I could. I had the Hu Tieu Ga DaKao Dac Biet and it was so well-seasoned, lots of protein and the broth was perfect very reasonable price as well, mine was a large bowl for $13.99

The food here is good. They have a variety of dishes. I like the banh cot, bun thịt nướng, cảnh chùa, cả kho tộ, chicken wings, spring rolls ném nướng, and bố lúc lắc. The servers were a bit cranky & we had to ask for water several times.

I love Dakao Restaurant! Been eating the BEST PHO in Houston here for 17 years!
And they have grilled chicken spring rolls!!!
All the dishes here are delicious!
So next time you want some Vietnamese food come try this place.
And say hi to the owner, Tony, for me!

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants to go to since college days. I enjoy getting the chicken pho here and my husband likes the special chicken rice dish. I typically get different spring rolls to try and I like the chicken spring roll the best.
I have had other dishes before and they all tasted great but I just have a preference on eating chicken pho here.
Servers are as friendly as they can be in Chinatown area.

Very good restaurant with lots of choices and lots of seating. I enjoyed the variety of dishes I could pick from, and especially for the rice plate that I could pick the meats on the plate and price is the same. The chicken wings especially surprised me at how well marinated and crispy they were. This place has all the traditional Vietnamese dishes but also some fun fusion dishes with Korean and Chinese influences. Lots of seating but still gets very busy in the evening. Staff were very nice and attentive.

Party of 3. Saturday night. Placed order at 7:00 exactly. Made note of the time.
Bun Thit Nuong,
Chicken wings and
Shrimp Fried Rice.
7:05 Bun Thit Nuong arrives.
I finished eating it at 7:17.
7:25 Chicken wings arrived.
Finished at 7:25.
7:44 Shrimp Fried Rice arrives.
Only after I complain about the ridiculous serving times did they agree to take off the charge for the horrible fried rice. It was a very small portion of fried rice that wasn’t fried, it was extremely oily and was tossed in wok just long enough to warm it. Gross!
Then manager acts like he did such a noble thing by removing the charge. He only removed it because it was so outrageous that it took so long. If fact he had a waitress come to our table after I complained and tried to get my son to change his order after already waiting more than 30 minutes. She said they have problem making fried rice, even if we see many other people receiving fried rice at other tables. Crazy!
When manager comes back to apologize again, we ask him if they have viet coffee, he said yes, it’s already made. They bring out two coffees. I never thought he would charge for the coffees after the terrible service. I was wrong. $10 for the premade coffees that were packed to the rim with ice. Two sips and coffee was gone.
Never again. But at least the Bun Thit Nuong was good.
