Don Cafe

Tried #25 bun suong tom noodle soup. It’s good. Usually we just buy the grilled pork sandwiches which are super good. Price is still better than other places but the Vietnamese sandwiches are the best here!

One of the oldest standing banh mi shops in Houston and is cash only. Got 3 bbq pork , 3 combination and 1 meat ball for 41 bucks. Ask for the veggies on the side if you’re not eating it on the spot or you’ll get your Sammie’s soggy.

On recent visits, I have noticed that the quality of the sandwiches has declined. They lack the crunch and flavor that previously distinguished this establishment. It was once considered the best Vietnamese sandwich place in town. It is essential that the restaurant restores its former standards; otherwise, its new reputation might diminish this legacy.

Don Café is one of those restaurants that we always come by when we visit Houston. Usually order a few banh mi to go to bring back home and always hits. They are cash only. Sometimes service can take a while because they are often very busy so don’t expect to grab and go. It’s located on Bellaire and there’s plenty of parking.

Don Café is a Houston staple that I’ve been coming to for years. The bánh mì is always on point—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their wonton noodle soup is comforting and delicious every time. And don’t miss the Vietnamese coffee—it packs a powerful punch and gives you that perfect energy boost. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or craving something familiar, this spot always delivers.
