Vietnam Restaurant - Vietnamese restaurant in Corpus Christi - First 701, 701 N Water St, USA

Restaurant offers a really nice atmosphere. Staff is friendly and courteous. I ordered the Napoleon dish with scallops. It was well prepared and tasty unfortunately 2 or 3 scallops tasted a little off. Dessert was awesome!! We shared a slice of carrot….so good. The beverage looked better than it tasted. I would definitely go back and try something else.

So the only reason I gave this place three stars is because the crème brûlée was nine 9 of 10! Service was not very good, the peanut dipping sauce for the spring rolls was very bland, The half roasted chicken I had was super dry and they had deep fried it rather than roasting it like they said, but the Moscow Mule‘s were also good. Would not recommend except for for dessert.

First visit to this restaurant, the interior was elegant, pristine. The staff was attentive , especially our waiter (Ray) the food was delicious! loved and enjoyed every bite of my dessert with coffee. Will return to try other dishes. Would recommend to family and friends.

The food was ok. The flavor does not match the price. Pho Life has way better soup. The atmosphere and drinks were great. Wouldn’t put this as a regular stop, but more of a once in a long while for apps and drinks. The fried broccoli and lychee martini were delicious.

We came here 2 years ago and really liked it, so when we were back in town, we returned for another meal. They were out of the fried eggplant appetizer, which was really disappointing, as it was something I was really looking forward to having again. We had the fried calamari and broccoli instead (the broccoli was very good). The soup that came with the meal was bland, but the meal itself (we had Chilean sea bass and lemongrass chicken) was very good. My partner wasn't impressed with his cocktail (we had gone to BUS next door prior, so maybe the comparison wasn't fair), and I stuck to wine. It's worth a visit, but we probably will try something new next time we're in town.

Staff is engaging and very professional. The food is exquisite. Always a wonderful experience! The filet mignon Pho is amazing as well as the black pepper shrimp (Ramg Muoi).

Went to Vietnam Restaurant to celebrate to my birthday with family on 8/30/23.. We have been visiting the Vietnam restaurant for 20+ years since they were located on SPID. I ordered a napoleon beef (filet mignon) and the meat tastes terrible. The consistency WAS NOT filet mignon, and the beef itself had an odd taste. Mind you, I order this meal almost 95% of the time so I know how the dish should taste and be. I returned it to the kitchen for another item instead. Upon paying for dinner we noticed we were charged for a napoleon beef and napoleon shrimp. We had asked the server why and she said it was because “THE CHEF” felt nothing was wrong with the meat and boxed it back up for me to take home. This is absolutely absurd and after 20+ years of attending a local restaurant tonight was our very last, after being treated in such a way.

Delicious food every time I have eaten here. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
