Where it fits in Houston's Vietnamese lineup

Houston has enough dining depth that Crawfish & Noodles should not be treated as the default answer for every occasion. If you are comparing restaurants for the same outing, Nam Giao, Huynh Restaurant, Xin Chào are natural points of reference. Ocean Palace and Pho Prime may also be useful comparisons depending on what kind of meal you are planning.
