Brisket & Rice | A Texas Monthly Top 25 New BBQ Joint 

Hong is a psychology master and Phong can make anything. Between these two nothing is impossible....

I was raised in Southeast Texas. We were raised on brisket and rice, white and dirty rice(Cajun fried rice). Can’t wait to eat here!

Putting this much love into cooking and feeding people is respectable work.

Makes me smile listening to him describe his journey

My grandfather was a Pitmaster in Nevada using mesquite wood as primary smoke fuel, and when he said at the end you gotta be a little stubborn to make it work it rang so true to me. The BBQ is the end result, and it's time consuming work, a lifestyle indeed. All the best wishes to him and his family!

I love their humility and how they look out for their community. Hope for their many blessings in health and success. Plus I personally love eating brisket with rice. Beautiful combo.

he is a very good story teller. Teller a whole 10 mins of frying rice and made it sound so interesting.

I think it's great that other cultures come here to Texas and put individual take on a classic Texas tradition

This only has 285 likes...WTH?! That was GREAT!

Hell yeah!!! This story makes me insanely happy!!! I'll have to make a "pilgrimage" from KS. Love this.

Beautiful, love BBQ and love that you stayed true to your roots! Don't let the Texans tell you anything, it's still beef and rice at the end of the day lol & pairs well.

the melding of cultures through food is one of the most beautiful things.

Ate here a few times. They definitely know what they are doing

I couldn’t be happier for these guys. Seen them in that building since day one and they have stayed true to what they do. Keep going. Much love to the Hung family.

Beautiful. Happy to see honest working viet folks getting rewarded for efforts. Will definitely check you all out. Best of luck from CA.

Definitely checking this place out on my next trip to Houston

" kinda weird...." this is FN dope!!!!!

We eat rice in the lowcountry with bbq all the time, especially with hash. I could do that with brisket too, looks delicious!

Meat and rice is a natural pairing. So all good.

Idk these people personally but they seem pretty real and humble, respect.

Awesome. Couldn't be happier to see this for Phong and Hong. Good people and the food looks like the bomb. - S Roper

This is one of the farthest-flung, sprawliest, strip-malliest neighborhoods in Houston (and that's saying something), but there are many excellent spots right around here. There's also "Perky Cups", which is basically Ojos Locos crossed with Starbucks -- it must be seen to be believed -- and there's a true mom-and-pop Thai place "Pranee" that absolutely bats in the big leagues.

These guys in Cypress/ Jersey Village area Texas are the best! Been there 2 times already

This man is clam and good at his thing!

His technique on the wok fried rice is top tier. Notice how he never takes the wok off the fire/lip while he's cooking. True Professional

Never quit! I love this story

10:12 Fried rice with pulled pork just sounds amazing. I have a feeling it will be a best seller if they go through with it,

I've been on a little journey on YT BBQ vids trying to learn to smoke meats better and i've seen just about every race now show a passion/drive to make some texas brisket/BBQ. each one adding something unique without taking from the core of american BBQ. food really does bring us all together lol.

We asians been eating any meat with rice since forever, we can be eating pot roast with rice..

I just passed by here last week gotta stop next time! But since my brother is married to a Laos girl I know about brisket w/ Rice 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I need this with a side of hot pepper sauce 🌶️🌶️🔥🔥

I came when they opened... I just realized I been here. I was pretty good I would recommend!!! Keep up the good work🎉

I feel so proud watching this. They are are so humble

This place is a true Hidden Gem! Some of the most delicious BBQ hands down! Don’t even get me started on their BBQ Fried Rice! 😋

Can't wait to visit here on Monday hopefully

Wish I was closer so I can check this out! Great story and great family!

I recommend this place the food is bomb!

Definitely trying this spot soon! Will do a review on it! 💯

Brisket and fried rice?! Best of both worlds! :D

Yo how y'all boys been? It's been a long time. Congrats man glad to see y'all doing good. Gonna have to make a visit. Looks amazing!

Excited to try this place out!

Ugh I wish they were in Austin I'd go there tomorrow dude! I love some good fried rice and can't help myself when it comes to brisket

Humble. I’m coming to try it

I have been doing this for years, I too have an offset and a wok burner but I just cook for my family.

I always eat brisket with rice. If I feel cooking, make fried rice, sunny side up egg & brisket. I have a side dish of kimchi or achara or pickles.

Looks great. Also, those prices are fkn great. Kudos to them!

Hell yeah- all day baby!

Brother if you add sticky rice, especially purple sticky rice, and some spicy dipping sauce. It will go wild.

This is amazing stuff, need to try someday

Definitely will try this when I go home in July.

😮fried rice and brisket OMG 😱 😋

This place is awesome. Definitely worth checking out.

i play soccer at the fields in front this place all the time and go eat there after. delicious, the best food in houston is usually inside or right next to a gas station 💪🏽

I love the driver man I just love it. Words don't come to me. I need to come get some Brisket and Rice 😊❤🎉

looks amazing!

My mouth is watering!

Very humble and kind, Ill visit when Im there particularly because of that. Hard work, passion, and being authentic to themselves.

Infused barbecue keep it up. And I like what you said about keeping the traditions. Pork inlaw barbecue..

Love this story.

Hey A Great Story Love it 😎💯

If you have never had rich meat such as Ribeye, Smoke Brisket, Pork Belly, or Wagu, with steamed rice. You have not truly lived!

That plated fried rice and brisket at the end looks insaaaane

Beautiful.

Wel spoken humble dudes

hot dogs and rice... my half chinese kids swear by meat and rice.

Brisket and rice may be new to some people but in Asian culture it's pretty common to eat a protein with rice regardless if it's smoked meats or not.

Damn that looks good

So Good! Food is amazing.

Hell Yeah!

The food looks amazing! Great video!

ill be there soon

These dudes seem cool as hell

That's dope I love that he just quit his job that's the dream

Looks amazing!! I can’t stand how restaurants are just allowed to leave a tap of water runn8ng like that though.

Love the American Dream 😊

I didn't have a reason to visit Houston until this moment.

it was kind of hard to lock in cuz the vid was kinda boring but i appreciate family owned businesses and what they bring to the community. good for them

Great Vid! Love this!

Great video! 👍

Happy wife, happy life🎉

Great video! Fascinating story.

i'll be eating this every other day.

There shoudl be some sort of pre warning system to not show food to me when Im hungry lol

@mrnigelng These dudes definitely deserve a visit from Uncle Roger

Why did they keep the water flowing on the wok?

What’s the story with the running water overflowing from pot onto the cooking station?

Fuckkkk yeah

🔥

do they have to keep the water running when they're cooking near the wok??

Rib n rice

california has the best bbq

keep making videos

i'm old fashion, not really big on this type of ethnic crossover or fusion. Brisket always go with potato salad and bean.

Good food and good people. But the Texas BBQ scene is getting old.

Why’s the water running in the sink nonstop while they make rice? Dont waste water!!
