Ocean Da Nang Quan

This place is a hidden gem with plenty of seating and a clean environment, complemented by friendly staff. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese dishes from Da Nang, this restaurant has it all. This was our second visit. During our first trip, we ordered the Bun Bo Hue served in a hot stone bowl. On our second visit, we decided to try some new dishes. We started with Banh Beo as an appetizer, which was delicious, and the fish sauce was spot on. For the main course, we ordered a chicken specialty that came with rice, chicken salad, a side of soup, and dark meat chicken. Everything was flavorful and unique. My husband tried the Bun Rieu served in a hot stone bowl. Although he's not usually a fan of Bun Rieu, he ended up finishing the whole bowl, and the soup was served piping hot. We will definitely return to try more dishes!

I saw an Instagram post for this place and knew I had to stop by and try their signature Huế dishes from the Vietnamese northern region. We stopped in for a late lunch around 3 PM. We were told to seat ourselves anywhere so we picked a table with menus already set. There are photos of every menu item, definitely a bonus so there's no doubt about what each dishes are. For our party of three, we ordered: * Combo Appetizer Plate - comes with cha Huế, Bánh bèo, Bánh nậm, and Bánh bột lọc. All were good but was served last after we were halfway done with our entrees. * Bun Bo Ocean - served in a hot stone bowl with the noodles and veggies on the side. You just add the noodles as you go so they don't get soggy if you don't eat fast enough. Meats were tender, done just right. The soup was a little too sweet for our liking. * Bun Bo Original - exactly like the Bun Bo Ocean but with two less meat. * Com Ga Roti - this was my favorite dish here. Served with yellow rice and a super juicy chicken leg quarter. It was crispy on the outside and the dipping sauce went well with the chicken. I wish the rice was hot rather than lukewarm. This came wish a small bowl of soup on the side. There is a lack of service here. There was only one waitress working on a Sunday afternoon. We kept having to walk up to the counter to ask for things like status of the appetizer, the check, sauces, to-go containers. Aside from the service, the restaurant was clean and the food is solid. The prices are reasonable, cheaper than other places on Bellaire serving similar food. I will come back to try the pho and chicken salad.

Ocean Da Nang in Houston brings a delightful taste of Vietnamese cuisine with standout dishes like the com ga Hoi An (Hoi An-style chicken and rice) and banh beo (steamed rice cakes). The atmosphere is inviting and laid-back, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The com ga Hoi An is a highlight--the chicken is tender and flavorful, with a subtle lemongrass and herb seasoning that brings out the best of Vietnamese flavors. It's served with fragrant rice and fresh herbs, making each bite both satisfying and refreshing. This dish is a great balance of texture and flavor, offering a taste of authentic Hoi An-style cooking that's hard to find. The banh beo is another must-try. These delicate steamed rice cakes are topped with shrimp, scallions, and crispy bits of pork, offering a delightful mix of textures. Each piece has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the accompanying fish sauce adds just the right amount of tanginess to enhance the flavors without overwhelming them. The service is warm and attentive, with staff eager to provide recommendations. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and authenticity of the dishes. For anyone in Houston craving Vietnamese comfort food, Ocean Da Nang is definitely worth a visit.

We stopped by Da Năng Quán for their $9.99 per dish dine-in promo and ended up ordering pretty much everything on the menu. What really impressed us were the frog Quảng noodle soup, fried pork intestine, and chicken salad. The flavors were solid, and the price was very affordable. Service wasn't great, but given the promo and casual vibe, it was somewhat expected. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic "Trung" food at a reasonable price.

Great customer service. They're so friendly and will answer all your questions enthusiastically. Com Ga Len Mam 10/10, go early because once they sell out, it's done for the day. First time having this dish and they were informing us on how to eat it and what sauces go best with it. Egg Coffee, pricey but in a huge cup. Rich enough that when you mix the egg in thoroughly, it's still strong in coffee flavor. Can't wait to come back!
