Bakery Ngoc Lan - Houston, Texas

Interesting menu, this a Vietnamese bakery located in Viet Town in Bellaire. I was in the area one random afternoon and stopped by to try some buns. The salted egg and pork bun is interesting but actually dry on the inside. The custard bun was too sweet. If you have sensitive teeth or gums beware.

This place is a hidden gem for sure. Delicious bao complete in an adorable package. They have both sweet and savory options. Highly recommend the pig bao, it's bbq pork and cheese and so so good. The hello kitty bao is mung bean custard and it was also good, it's more of a subtle sweet and not overly sweet which is my preference. Definitely will be coming back

I recently visited this bakery because I seen videos on Instagram that they offer an array of cute and fun-shaped banh bao. While I was initially expecting the banh bao to be warm, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they are stored in a fridge. The unique twist is that you can select your banh bao from the fridge, and they are steamed on the spot to warm them up before enjoying. This ensures that you can indulge in your treats right away. The prices are reasonable, adding to the overall appeal. The combination of creative shapes, convenient warming process, and fair pricing make this bakery a delightful destination for those looking to satisfy their sweet cravings for banh bao that is a bit difficult to find variety in Houston!

This place is so cute! The buns were so adorable I didn’t want to ruin them by eating it. I had the tofu banh bao and the only negative I had was that I wanted a less sweet dough for the savory ones. Their Viet iced coffee tasted unique, and I wish I asked which brand they use. On the topic of wishes, I wish they sold merchandise! The illustrations/logo would be great as a sticker or an insulated coffee cup. Seating is pretty limited/cramped inside but there’s outdoor seating if you can withstand the heat. Overall it’s worth it to drop by if you’re in the area.

Good ideas to make some of Việt Cake dessert to introduce everyone to another country to try it. Very cuties, sweet and delicious. If you don't like sweet, they still have another choice for you ☺️. Love it

Love the cute interior, and super friendly helpful staff and their bánh bao is super cute! We tried some plain and stuffed ones, both were soft and delicious. We’ll be back to try their other flavors.
