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 youāll sit waiting for a drink. They are quick to give you a glass of water (that you didnāt ask for) when you come in and sit at the bar, and disappear after giving you the water...... itās a bar, I donāt think people sit at a bar to drink water.
Review edited: Downgrading from 3 āļø to a 1 āļøā¦ā¦. My second time here, came in, sat, no one acknowledged me, it wasnāt 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 customerās plate and ignoring customers, well, they could be friends but who cares, cater to your customers before you feed yourself from a customerās plate and take shots with them, so yes āownerā (who promised to do better and is still falling short) who responded to my previous review; thatās 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, ācan I get a cardā like Iāll drink and run! Whoās said Iām paying by card? What happened to ādo you want to open a tab?ā PATHETIC PLACE!!! I thought the first time was a one off, so I came back, but clearly this place is mediocre and Iāll never...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLast 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 ā 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...
