Description

Opened in 1986, this was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants in Little Saigon, downtown. Since Vietnamese food was still a novelty in the '80s, Van Loc also served Chinese food and never stopped, although you're better off sticking with the Vietnamese offerings. The menu is extensive and features many family-favorite recipes. The place is large and busy, but tables turn quickly - although service can be erratic. Try the vermicelli with egg rolls or one of the clay pots.

Just like albums, restaurants often have "Deep Cuts," unexpected gems buried in their menus, overlooked for the more readily accessible and better known dishes. Often, it's the mere lack of familiarit... More »
Mystery Mix

By Anna Ossenfort | Thu, October 28, 2004

It's not clear what all's in it, but it works magic on a chilly, wet afternoon. When asked what fresh herb was sprinkled atop the hot and sour tofu soup ($6.50) at Van Loc (3010 Milam, 713-528-6441), the server had only this to offer: "It's a... More »
Special Sauce

By Gary Michaels | Thu, June 13, 2002

Man cannot survive on salads alone -- even if he's a vegetarian. What that man wants is a balanced meatless meal that fulfills basic nutritional needs and gratifies a few corporeal desires in the process. The fried tofu with curry and coconut... More »

2005 | Best Pho

You know the drill. Semi-fatty discs of medium-rare beef stewed with chicken broth, pork bits and glass noodles in a steaming bowl as big as your head. You're eating pho -- the incomparable Vietnamese soup that'll make you wonder aloud why those cartoon kids on the Campbell's cans look so friggin' happy. For real bite, throw in a few of the fresh jalapenos that come with the pho at Van Loc. Soup is good food, to be sure. Adventurous eaters choose to add tripe. More »
