Craving a lunchtime sandwich fix, I knew exactly where to go: the dependable Don Cafe on Bellaire Blvd.Usually, their BBQ Pork Sandwich hits the spot, but this time I opted for the adventurous route and tried their Special Sandwich.It was a delicious gamble that paid off! The food, as always, was fantastic.Highly recommend Don Cafe for anyone seeking a quick and tasty bite.
Food was visibly fresh & prepared sandwiches in front of you which is always nice when a restaurant has the made-to-order option.đ yum.This was my first time here and I was impressed with the FOOD & TOTAL! My boyfriend and his friend love these Vietnamese sandwiches here! đ„Ș it was busy but you didn't have to wait no more than 10 minutes at most.Worth the money $& wait.I drank an iced coffee, comes black and it was a little sweet (which is good) & surprisingly strong (also a plus)! Definitely trying the ph@ next time. -must try -quick bite OR -dine-inn -clean & courteous -delicious authentic Vietnamese food
After eating BĂĄnh mĂŹ in so many places from Pearland and Sugar Land to Katy, I began to wonder why I havenât tried many in Bellaire.I guess Iâm usually focused on other Vietnamese foods when in the area.Shoutout to David Lu on YouTube for giving the inspiration to check out some Bellaire bĂĄnh mĂŹ shops. After hopping in the car and taking the twenty minute drive, I arrived at Donâs, I walked in and it was busy and alive with action.I started for the counter and a young man politely stopped me and asked if I was eating there or to go.I decided to eat in there to catch the vibe.He showed me to a table.Every time Iâm in Bellaire, Iâm taking the opportunity to practice my Vietnamese.So while ordering my sandwiches, with a combination of Vietnamese, Spanish and English, I ordered a BĂĄnh MĂŹ BĂČ NÆ°á»ng and a BĂĄnh MĂŹ Äáș·c Biá»t. Both of these bĂĄnh mĂŹ were excellent.The bread tasted fresh and was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside.Itâs one of the best baguettes Iâve had so far.The meats in both were delicious.The BĂČ NÆ°á»ng was tender and packed with flavor.The Äáș·c Biá»t was excellent as well, with all the meats tasting fresh and flavorful.The Vietnamese mayo and veggies combined for a creamy crunchy inside that satisfied my desire for complex simplicity.After devouring the first two, I decided I should get a couple more for the road.I wanted the BĂĄnh MĂŹ CĂ Tuna but I was informed they were out of Tuna.No problem.I ordered another BĂĄnh MĂŹ BĂČ NÆ°á»ng and BĂĄnh MĂŹ GĂ XĂ©.In retrospect, I should have gotten either the BĂĄnh MĂŹ PĂątĂ© or BĂĄnh MĂŹ XĂu MáșĄi.Next time for sure along with a ca phĂȘ sữa ÄĂĄ.I heard its strong here and thatâs how I like it. One last note on the service.I thought for the amount of people coming in and actually eating in there , the waiter did very well.He was polite and efficient.The cashier seemed polite as well, although very busy with all the to go orders coming in.The people behind the counter seemed to be very good at making the bĂĄnh mĂŹ quickly and efficiently.I was surprised to see some negative reviews later when I looked it up.Iâm not a regular (yet) but I didnât notice any issues at all, while I was there.The food was great , the service was good and the vibe was cool.I enjoyed seeing the mix of diverse cultures in there while I was eating.From the Vietnamese and Mexican/Central American staff to the 80âs tunes like Journey playing over the speaker, it was truly a mix of culture and cuisine in the heart of the city.Iâm always impressed to see Vietnamese cuisine and culture be introduced to new audiences and I thought Don Cafe was doing that really well that evening.
