The food was fresh & delicious. Service was great, people courteous, friendly, & helpful. I had the chopped ribeye plate, Thai soup, beef curry & coleslaw. Everything was tasty but not too spicy. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I'm kinda addicted to their food. Love the pate you can add to their banh mi. Love the seasoned tofu, which is a rarity for me, and I love the juicy chicken, which is never ever dry! The owners are active in the community and were donating along with others, free food to those who lost power during hurricane Beryl. Their own stores were without power for over a week. Really enjoy the variety of their menu. There's something for everyone, and the flavors are all there!

It's always a 5 star every time I come here. Guy who rang my kids and I up was really nice too. Not sure what his name is, but he has perfect eyebrows! Thanks for the wonderful service and great food! The 3 of us had 4 meals between us. I loved the Thai chicken soup. That was the first time trying that. Rice and Banh mi is always a hit with us. Curry Beef fries are super good too according to my 11 year old daughter.

Chill, counter-service spot! I've been to the East End location but never this one. My new favorite item is the Bulgogi Fries - so good! The banh mi, of course, is awesome. Reliable chain spot if you're looking for something fast and tasty.

A cute little restaurant. I love Roostar! I use to get their lemongrass tofu banh mi, but my friend recommended the special banh mi.. and man oh man, is it delicious! It comes with so much pate too.. mhmm yum! The sandwiches are a decent size.. and I was full after eating it. We ordered 2 banh mi's (one with an egg) and some eggrolls. I loved the eggrolls actually. Super crisy and flavorful with the dip. Service was quick. Place was clean and everyone was friendly. Parking was decent as well! Definitely check them out!

This is one of my go-to places for a quick takeout meal. I've been to multiple locations, and the foods have always been consistent. My recent order was from this location (Gessner), and it was a delivery order to eat at home. I always like ordering the rice boxes with 2 proteins. The boxes come with just 1 with options to add extras (meats, etc.) if you want as well as pickled carrots and other veggies. I ordered the Sous Vide Pork Belly Box with Crispy Tofu (Wholeshebang flavor) and also the Grilled Chicken Box with Chopped Ribeye. I chose fried rice and house fish sauce with the orders. All of the meats were flavorful, and the boxes were packed. They are on the pricier side though compared to other similar Viet food places, but the flavors, portion sizes, and speed definitely make it worth it.

Yes yes yes! So the bbq pork sandwich are very nostalgic for me and the place I went in my childhood is no longer open. This place filled the spot with ease. The food was delicious and I can't wait to go try more items. It's a fast food style place, but there's also tables and seating areas if you don't want to take the food to go. The staff was super helpful. I was interested in their curry and the cashier offered me a sample, which is uncommon at a lot of restaurants of similar caliber. This was a win for me

Delicious! Satisfying! The Best! Tasty! Flavorful! Yummy! There are so many ways to describe the absolute satisfaction that you get after eating at Roostar. So many delicious things to pick from, you can't go wrong. Hands down, my favorite Banh-Mi Sandwich in all of Houston. With locations all over the city, this is the first and original spot. Its been amazing to see their well deserved growth. When you walk into this location, you will see nice decor, and tons of awards all framed up. In other words, Roostar has the receipts! They've been recognized for their food perfection on multiple occasions, and its evident the minute you take your first bite. My go-to is a Chicken Banh-Mi, I'll usually order it without jalapeños (since I'm a weakling when it comes to spice), but I'll pay extra to add some avocados and pate. Goodness, just the thought of all these ingredients together...makes my mouth water. Their egg rolls are fabulous, so I'll usually get an order, accompanied with lettuce and their amazing sauce. You wrap your cold and crunchy lettuce around a hot and crisp egg roll, and then dip it in the sweet sauce. Chef's kiss! Perfection at every bite. I love the various tea and soda options you have when ordering a fountain drink. On previous occasions, I've ordered some Vietnamese Coffee. However, on my last visit, I decided to spice things up and get a Thai Tea. The bread they use, the service, and quality of food are some of the things that have made Roostar so successful these past years. It is heaven at every bite. You just can't go wrong. I've been a fan for many years now, and while they have expanded to many locations that are much bigger than their OG spot. This one brings memories, I remember when this place used to be called 'Vietnamese Poblano'! Nowadays, this location has expanded a bit to include more seating, merchandise, nice art all around that shows the streets of Vietnam and cool motivational phrases, (not to mention framed awards and newspaper mentions, the receipts of greatness!) Great food thy name is Roostar!

Follow on IG: @_boujeeeatsss * Chopped Ribeye (full) 7.5/10 * The Special (half combo) 9/10 * Spicy beef yellow curry w/ rice (combo) 9/10 * Thai Tea 9/10 (a little too sweet) * For a Vietnamese Grill not located in Bellaire, I'll have to say that this is a pretty darn good Bánh Mì. The quality and service is definitely there. Expect this to be a little more pricey than your traditional bánh mì, but it's worth it. They aren't shy with the butter and pate, which I LOVE. My only critique is I wish their "Chopped Ribeye" was more like the traditional "Thịt nướng" (was still good though!) They have indoor and outdoor seating, it can get very packed/ busy during times
