Quan Gi Restaurant Noodle & Sandwich & Boba — Restaurant in Houston

Mmmm... I'm always sus when a restaurant doesn't have prices listed on their menu. They've been open for over a year now, so I can't imagine why they don't have prices listed other than to deceive customers.

It was my first time here, so I asked the worker/owner what appetizers they recommended. I also made sure to speak in viet so that she knew I was familiar with viet food. She recommended the spring rolls, which I thought was an interesting recommendation.

I also ordered the banh hoi heo quay, but she served me banh hoi heo quay + nem nuong (and charged me for the more expensive option). Also ordered the bun rieu, but she served me bun rieu dac biet (and charged me for the more expensive option, lol).

Mid-meal, she suggested a lemongrass kumquat drink, which she claimed was "really good" lol.

Ultimately, the food was average, but I def felt like she pulled a fast one on me because of lack of pricing on the menu and she thought I didn't know my viet foods.

Lemon grass kumquat $5.95 - refreshing, but really sweet. empty calories imo Battered chicken wings $12.95 - fresh off the fryer, but lacked seasoning. I needed to dip this into the sriracha for remotely any flavor. It would have helped to have salt and pepper at least. Bun rieu dac biet $14.95 (which I did NOT order) - I LOVE bun rieu and this was probably the worst bun rieu I've ever had. It was lacking the umami flavor and toppings. super disappointing Banh hoi heo quay nem nuong $17.95 (also which I did NOT order) - veggies, vermicelli, and meat were good, but there was such little meat. I would've been better off not ordering this. I basically paid for noodles and veggies lol.

With many other places in the area, I won't be back. For the price I paid, I could’ve gotten better...

I noticed this place while having drinks next door one night and noticed they stay open until 3am. I decided to stop by the day after, hungover: the waitress recommended me to drink a coconut water, which had the actual coconut meat in it as well. Great idea

For the food: I was in the mood for a banh mi xiu mai (meatball sandwich) but after talking to the owner, she recommended that I try the Banh Mi Chao Xiu Mai. Basically, it’s the standard meatball sandwich except it’s deconstructed. Meaning, the bread is served bare and the veggies, pate, and butter are served on the side.

The actual meatballs are served on the side in a bowl and has the meatball sauce you dip the bread in. There are three stuffed meatballs: one has an egg yolk, the other has a piece of sausage, and the last has a quail egg stuffed inside it i think.

Overall, the dish was amazing and I loved every bite! I’ve seen other items on the menu that you don’t really see too often in Vietnamese restaurants. It’s also cool that this place is BYOB and has a outdoor section with stools and AC for those that want to take the party outside.

The people that work here are all related and you definitely get that family atmosphere when dining here. Everyone here is really cool and happy to take care of the clients. Definitely one of...

Fresh, exquisite, one of a kind, and scrumptious! My wife and I are Vietnamese and are always craving good and authentic Viet food. Being from San Antonio, the Vietnamese food options are slim. Therefore, we often travel to Houston to satisfy our appetite. The dishes here are phenomenal with their unique and delightful flavors. It's an explosion of sweet, savory, and spicy with the freshiest ingredients. It reminds me of genuine, original Vietnamese street food. The garlic butter snail with French baguettes, the vermicelli roast pork dish with fresh garnishes, the seafood noodle soup, and the desserts are all 10/10 recommended! Not only is this place authentic in food, but it is also excellent in service. The owner went around getting to know the guests and conversing with people like they have always known them. My sister recommended this place, and I will recommend this to all who truly want a sense of authencity of Vietnamese cuisine that is not your basic popular dish like that of...
