Giau bar n bites — Restaurant in Katy

Nice little bar, nice music, nice ambience, nice screens. Food leaves a lot to be desired and bartenders are not attentive, even on a dead night you’ll sit waiting for a drink. They are quick to give you a glass of water (that you didn’t ask for) when you come in and sit at the bar, and disappear after giving you the water...... it’s a bar, I don’t think people sit at a bar to drink water.

Review edited: Downgrading from 3 ⭐️ to a 1 ⭐️……. My second time here, came in, sat, no one acknowledged me, it wasn’t busy (seems to be the norm here), bar tenders talking to each other and taking shots with customers, so shocked I took a pic of the bartender who was eating from a customer’s plate and ignoring customers, well, they could be friends but who cares, cater to your customers before you feed yourself from a customer’s plate and take shots with them, so yes “owner” (who promised to do better and is still falling short) who responded to my previous review; that’s her in the pic: bogus bartender. What a ridiculous place.

Then got served by a guy and as a soon as I was served a drink (13 minutes sitting ignored by bartenders in my face and bartenders chit chatting with each other and doing nothing) I was met with, “can I get a card” like I’ll drink and run! Who’s said I’m paying by card? What happened to “do you want to open a tab?” PATHETIC PLACE!!! I thought the first time was a one off, so I came back, but clearly this place is mediocre and I’ll never...

Last night at Giau in Katy Asiatown was a straight-up good time. No fancy words needed, just honest-to-goodness delicious food and friendly vibes.

The Thai Hot Pot hit the spot. Rich broth, perfectly cooked veggies, and enough seafood to satisfy our late night appetite.

The Crispy Intestine was a revelation – crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. It was the kind of dish you eat with a satisfied smile thinking, "Wow, that's actually good." (Specially with the house vinegar..trust me).

And then there was the Balut - that extra special Filipino delicacy ! Unexpected, yes, but surprisingly perfect. You know how sometimes you're hesitant about trying something that you are not really sure if it is as good as back home, but then it blows your mind? That was GiAu's Balut - a real appreciation of its unique texture and taste.

The service at Giau was just as good as the food. Friendly, attentive, and never pushy. They answered all our questions about the menu, even the ones about the more adventurous dishes. It was the kind of service that makes you feel welcome and comfortable, like you're hanging out with friends rather than just eating at a restaurant.

So, yeah, Giau in Katy Asiatown? Definitely recommend. Good food, good vibes, and good service. What more could...

Mimi is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever come across, and her skills truly shine at Giau’s Katy! I’ve been following her from place to place because she always delivers exceptional service, and Giau’s is no exception. Mimi’s attention to detail, creativity with cocktails, and warm personality make every visit memorable. Whether it’s a classic drink or one of her custom creations, she always knows how to mix the perfect cocktail.

What makes the experience at Giau’s even better is the amazing music played by Edmond, which sets the perfect vibe for the night. The entire staff is energetic and welcoming, adding to the lively atmosphere. Not only do they have incredible cocktails, but the food is also top-notch — every dish I’ve tried has been delicious.

If you're looking for a great night out with fantastic drinks, music, and service, Giau’s Katy is the place to be. And trust me, wherever Mimi is bartending, you’re guaranteed a...
