Since its inception in 2008, this Bellaire Boulevard fixture has made waves for its signature Viet-Cajun cuisine. James Beard-nominated chef Trong Nguyen garnered national acclaim for his take on crawfish (and other local shellfish), drenched in a rich, garlicky butter sauce laced with peppers. Not ready to roll up your sleeves? The noodles (pho or wok-fried) and other Vietnamese specialties are just as satisfying.
