Hughies Tavern & Vietnamese Grille [Houston, Texas]

Bo Luc Lac - ‘Shaking Beef’ - Filet mignon and onion (note: about equal parts of each in this dish) - I thought this was a stir-fried dish but the menu says flame broiled. A couple of pieces still had ruby red interiors but most were just pink.

Kale Vinaigrette Salad - mine had kale, tomato, red bell pepper, red onion, dried cranberries (actually, I thought they were raisins), feta, cucumbers, slivered almonds and walnuts. The salad was dressed; if I had used the extra vinaigrette, the plate would have been awash.

Rice.

This was the ‘meal,’ could’ve had just the beef/onions with a side of fried rice for the same price.

Excellent. I’m no esspert (only had the dish once before, as a banh mi from a food truck) but loved it. Next time would try the fried rice side.

Place is a mad house (in a good way); jam packed at 11:45, parking lot likewise. Loud. Not offensively but I had to have the waiter repeat everything for me. But then I’m old and have some loss of hearing. Waiters, a generous number thereof, were constantly scurrying.

Condiments on the table included ketchup, hoisin sauce, sriracha and Maggi seasoning sauce, which helped with the rice.

Next time, I’ll try the new location which I think is bigger.
