Jas Phan brought a retro Saigon alley into his noodle house, Migo, in the Bellaire Food Street strip center. “Migo” is a stylization of “mì gõ,” a late-night bite served by waiters who roam an area making sounds with instruments, like concussion sticks, to notify residents. Phan’s vision was to recreate the familiarity, simplicity and urban-centric intimacy of people dining beside homes-slash-businesses, cracked walls and scooters.

We proudly use local ingredients and modern cooking techniques to craft a seasonal tasting menu format.

12 Days of Favorite Houston Food & Drink Experiences in 2020, Part 5: Chefs

Unlike past years, when we had the chance to visit and revisit restaurants throughout the year, 2020 has been a year filled with takeout, the occasional socially distanced dine-in experience and plenty of home cooking. The chefs that are honored here, the ones we recognize as this year’s favorites, are just a few that showed resilience despite the hardship, forging forward with efforts to innovate even as they just struggled to survive. Hats off to you, and thank you for the positivity you bring to the Houston food community.

Jas Phan, Migo Saigon Street Food, 9393 Bellaire: When COVID-19 struck, Jas Phan resisted offering his namesake Migo noodles to-go, insisting that he wouldn’t be able to guarantee the quality of his food if it wasn’t prepared in-house. But as COVID-19 wore on and it became clear that offering takeout and delivery was what he needed to do to survive, he relented — after doing extensive testing to ensure that the at-home dining experience would be as good as dining in. His insistence on quality and the fact that he can deliver consistently delicious noodles no matter the circumstances is something to be lauded. That he’s still honing his craft, perfecting dishes such mi vit tiem (braised duck noodle) or mi bo kho (Vietnamese beef stew with noodles), is a sign of things to come. We’re excited to be along for the ride.

The ultimate guide to eating in Houston’s Asiatown

Asiatown is the beloved jewel of southwest Houston, a destination for some of the best and most affordable food in the city, and one that is emblematic of its diversity. Unfortunately, the pandemic gave rise to xenophobia and unfounded fears that made Asiatown the target of anti-Asian sentiment. Businesses suffered. Some closed permanently.

Today, the area is stronger for it and, despite the challenges, continues to grow. The future may be uncertain, but one thing remains constant: In Asiatown, great eats abound. Here’s a taste.

This handsome Bellaire-facing strip mall is curated to feature street food from Asia. Enticements include Vietnamese egg noodles at Migo Saigon Street Food; sizzling Japanese rice plates at Pepper Lunch; Korean fried chicken at Soho Chicken; Sichuan hot pot at Chongqing Chicken Pot; fanciful Japanese cream puffs at Beard Papa; and more.

The popular street-style dining of Vietnam is on the rise in Houston restaurants

Locals and expats are taking inspiration from the sidewalk and alleyway hot spots of Saigon and other urban areas, mimicking their aesthetic with shin-high stools, low tables, graffiti and other street decor.

Jas Phan brought a retro Saigon alley into his noodle house, Migo, in the Bellaire Food Street strip center. “Migo” is a stylization of “mì gõ,” a late-night bite served by waiters who roam an area making sounds with instruments, like concussion sticks, to notify residents. Phan’s vision was to recreate the familiarity, simplicity and urban-centric intimacy of people dining beside homes-slash-businesses, cracked walls and scooters.

“At the end of the day, you’ll still have to go into alleys to eat mì gõ because they aren’t served in restaurants. At least I haven’t seen any,” Phan says. “The on-the-streets kind of mì gõ remains the best kind.”

The nostalgia in Migo’s aesthetics has a twist, however, with Japanese-inspired touches such as the ramen bar-style seating and the art style of the mì gõ mural on the back wall. Phan says they were intentional, citing how Japan’s ramen and Vietnam’s mì gõ share the same noodle roots and are both familiar alley eats.

When it’s time to renew the lease, Phan would like to briefly close Migo to remodel it, modernizing the alley with new neon lighting to make the vibe similar to Saigon’s nightlife hot spot Bùi Viện Walking Street.
