Me'lange — Restaurant in Houston

I tried this spot yesterday because I was craving pho, but all my main spots were closed so this was really the only option that wasn’t more than a 20 minute drive. I had been eyeing this place for sometime since I moved to the area a few months ago so naturally, I was excited to try it out.

Off the bat, the parking situation was really weird with nothing but valet attendants harassing you to pay, despite the “parking in rear sign”, so forget about free parking unless you park two blocks down.

I started off by trying the chicken spring rolls, but when they came out, I was brought egg rolls. It was fine since they told me they couldn’t make my original order since they were out of lettuce, despite literal lettuce leaves being underneath the egg rolls. I’ve had frozen egg rolls from Trader Joe’s that taste better than what I was given so it was already off to a disappointing start.

I then ordered the steak flank pho and when it was brought out, all I could do was stare at my bowl in disbelief. The portion sizes are INSANELY small. For a $15 bowl of beef pho, I was given maybe 5 pieces of meat. At least the noodles were okay. With all this being said, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever felt the need to write a review on how mediocre my experience was at a restaurant.

Overall, my two item order was around $24, which would’ve had much bigger portions at a true local viet spot for...

Picked this place at random because we were late night eating dinner and didn’t know what the heck we wanted.

Walking into this place, it’s clean and has a good lighting - not too bright, not too dim. The music they were playing was throwbacks , my favessss so we were jamming and eating the whole time.

Now to the yummy part. We started with the pork egg rolls and they were sooo crunchy and light tasting. Loved them. They were very generous with the meats on all dishes.** the sauce they had for the egg rolls was so damn yummy along with the vegetables.

Then we ordered our plates. My boyfriend got the pad Thai beef and shrimp and I got the combination fried rice sub pork + shrimp and beef. Everything was so fresh and hot when it came out. So flavorful. I never need soy sauce for my rice and that’s my fave. My boyfriend’s pad Thai was cooked just right and the shrimps were big. They brought some sauce to our table and it was so sweet and tasty. Deff enhanced the flavors. We also got the chicken egg rolls and let’s just say, I’m obsessed. Will deff be coming back to try the other food they have, such a wide selection.

The pricing wasn’t bad for the portions provided. Would love to see the...

Based on the reviews and my rush decisions I think I ordered the wrong things. The salt toasted shrimp has a nice flavor (just the shrimp-and I’m not big on pineapples but they were large enough to pick out) but it seemed like the shrimp would have been better paired with seasoned fries. The garlic tofu tasted like home cooking but not the kind you go looking for, like the still-in-training kind of home cooking. The broccoli had gone bad before it was cooked and it was clear the moment I bit into it BUT they were just trying to accommodate me since I was basically looking for flavorful sautéed or steamed veggies last minute and late night. I definitely appreciate that consideration based on what I wanted and again, I most likely ordered all the wrong things but it was still kind of disappointing and unpleasant for my stomach. I should’ve pulled over to look at pics first for guidance on what to get but was in a rush after leaving work. Customer service was fine also. It’s probably best to just order their...
