Loved the food and the service here. Large menu with Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine, we chose a sample from each. The Orange chicken was made with chopped up oranges and was tender with a delicate flavor. The vegetable dishes were delicious. Prices were reasonable. The restaurant was very clean, tables were well spaced and the staff all wore masks. I will definitely be returning.

Very attentive, clean, delicious. I absolutely love the egg rolls

Everything was quality and authentic! The beef was tender and juicy. The soups were savory and flavorful. The chicken dishes were delicious and the customer service was top notch!

Usually a big fan but did not enjoy the salt and pepper ribs today. Would have been better without that thick breading. Mango fish was yummy. Most other dishes we try here we enjoy. Restaurant is worth a try.

Viva la Vida that food made me feel fulla. Yummy delicious vietnamese/Chinese cuisine. Ordering the family meal will stuff you to the next level. The flavor they bring are authentic to each dish they bring out. Overall I had a wonderful time stuffing myself and eating as much as I do. Come over here and enjoy🙂

Went to Viva on 1/2/21 and asked if they had any new specials, they said yes, they had a new grilled squid, this turned out to be one of the tastiest dishes i have had from them. My girlfriend ordered it and i ordered the muscles with ginger and scallions, if you love calamari, i totally suggest you get the grilled squid, It was awesome, definitely 5 star food every visit.

Good sized portions, good standard for vietnamese food, however not the best. Cleanliness could also be improved. Worth going.

Ive been coming here for years. I had not been since the Rona hit. I forgot how awesome this restaurant is. The staff, the tea, the food, the service... it is excellent! I would give 6 stars if I could. Im no expert, but I really enjoy their Pho and they have a really big menu. Their recipes taste just a little more fresh and homemade. And their tea is so good. Hot and cold. I forgot how much I like their tea. The iced tea is no special brand, but their ratio tastes soooooo good. You will not be disappointed.

The menu, service, and food are all great! Their Lotus Salad is huge and amazing!!

Solid traditional Vietnamese foods to share wjth your family. I love the goi here. Other foods are decent qualities as well. It’s not the best food place but it is always a solid choice for a family dinner.

Yall need more soup selection and some specialty sandwiches it feels cold in restaurant..

Came here on the whim since another Vietnamese restaurant was closed and good thing it was. When I first came I wasnt too keen on the location but the food inside the restaurant smelt good and its very clean inside so decided to give it a try.We ordered the orange chicken (for the kids), tofu wok tossed in lemon grass and chili sauce vermicelli, and fried talapia with mango and mango sauce. I also had the fresh lemonade. First of all, everything was fresh, especially the salads and beansprouts (not one hint of brown on any vegetables). All the sauces was delicious, a little bit more flavor than other Vietnamese restaurant but not overwhelming. The orange chicken was a bit on the sweeter and glutinous side but it was for the kids and they loved it. The chicken was big pieces and very tender. So overall all the dishes was good. The fresh lemonade I order was a bit sweet for my likeing but I added additional water to make it more suitable for my taste.As for services for this visit I did not have any problems. The drinks was constantly refilled and the wait staff kept on checking in on us.So all in all I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant. Its big, they are practing social distancing, service is good, and food is good as well.

This is a good place to eat Vietnamese food, has a wide variety of good selection to choose from the menu... Viva fried rice is real good. Shaken beef is also good.

Food is good and prices are reasonable. Extra charge for credit/debit card payments. Talk loud and make sure waitress understands your order when the jukebox is going.

Charbroil beef spring rolls were very tasty.Broth for the pho was flavorful.The meat on the lemon grass beef vermicelli bowl was delicious like is been marinated everything was very tasty.

The customer service is amazinnn! Order the pan fried noodles, combination .. wish there were more protein on it though. My friend got grilled chicken w veggies and noodles and I actually liked it!

Soooo good. There were a lot of dishes my mom used to make me that I usually don’t get to see at other restaurants :)

So yummy.Amazingly friendly atmosphere and such a great menu! Looking forward to my husband and I coming back to continue to try more dishes. So wonderful! Long has been an amazing person making everything so great on our date night!

Ive ordered delivery from this restaurant for years, and they are consistently delicious! Their rice flour cake and egg rolls are amazingly crispy, their fish sauce wings are sticky and well-balanced, and their garlic butter squid is unique and wonderful. I always look forward to their broken rice dish with shredded pork skin and special meatloaf.

This is a great place for Vietnamese food. Love the fried rice!

My new favorite vietnamese place.

The best in town! If its not viva I dont want it! Amazing service too!

Best Viet restaurant around 1960 i must said. Moving to this area 3 yrs ago and this restaurant is where me and my husband go to atleast 3,4 times a week or not we buy togo. Their menu has alot of choices of food, great portion and delicious. I have to say all the servers are so friendly and nice, they are sweet young people who make sure you get whatever you need. And the owner takes his time to go around checking on us customers asking abt our experiences and what need to be done for the dishes so i have to say they really want customers to have a great dine-in experience. They offer party tray too and i really love the fried rice and Chicken wings, their beef salad ( medium rare with lime sauce ). So far i enjoy everytime i come here to eat. Even if its gets super busy sometimes but its worth the wait 👌🏼

Absolutely LOVE their pho & shaken beef!!! THE best pho IN HOUSTON!!!! Thanks, Viva!!!

Perfect for family dinner or lonely eaters 😀Best place for grilled pork chop (cơm sườn)... see pic below. A picture worth a thousand words

The family dinner package is the best price in town!!! Not to mention the food was so good reminds me of hometown cooking.

Very friendly staff, nice relaxing atmosphere. Food is always FRESH. This is our family spot during the week. Nothing bad to say at all!

Good food, great services

I love this place. Great food. The owner always check to see if you are satisfied. Service is perfect. Enjoy lunch and dinner there. Super Awesome.

I really like the food here. I like ordering the squid and fish maw maw soup.

It here many times but disappointed today! Service order person don’t care when phone in complaints about the food and basicly he said too bad need to order another one and it will cost, I should bring the food back and let they have it, I don’t want another one just let them taste and see it, when ask for mgr he said not in, I m doing them a favor so they can fix the problem how they train the employees how to talk to customer, not sure I want to order here any more,

Shaking beef... delicious

Ordered noodle dish with beef and chinese broccoli. Surprised to see the amount of vegetables on my plate so I separated them to another plate. I think the portion of chinese broccoli is either equal or more than noodles. Didn’t know the main ingredient was the chinese broccoli. Ridiculous portioning.

Always wonderful people here. Food is always superb, fresh and yummy. Great family owned restaurant with very nice staff.

I come here often with my family. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The food is always fresh and served at good temperatures.

Delicious family food!

Delicious Basa fish served by smiling faces!

Clean and a lovely setting I love the food here.

Great food and service was awesome

Had been their customer for years before the incident. Food is good but the waiter who served me last time tried to lecture me about the name of the ingredients in my food. Thanks, Ill bring my money to another business. I came to enjoy the food not being taught.

Very, very good buffet! Variety and quality and consistency are the most key factor when eating out today!

Had the e4 pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl. Good size portion

Food is awesome 👌

I have been here two times, and both times I have been very satisfied.On both occasions I tried different menu items and I was satisfied with my food.I wish some of the food was cooked to be more crunchy but that is just personal taste as opposed to the actual food chefs.The people are always friendly and they have always gotten my order right when I call in for a carry out.I recommend giving this place a try if you are looking to eat somewhere new.

Good 👍portion, and great 👍price

Service always on the dot. I like coming here since its closer to my home and dont need to drive up to Bellaire for Asian food.. but food always take awhile to come out. Everytime im there, empty house or full house. Usually food comes out very slow. Good food makes up for the slowness but when I think of eating here with my family, thats my only hesitation and so driving to Bellaire mostly wins.

Great food and prices. Wide selection for small to large groups.

Incredible Beef BBQ spring rolls. Best Shaki g Beef in H Town. Great Vietnamese coffee.

Best food EVER!

I liked the fresh good quality food. What a variety of appetizing, palatable dishes! Great service, great food. The atmosphere was pleasant for dining.

Love this place! Food is always fresh and delicious. They never disappoint me.

One of the best Asian food in the area.

Very pour service! Order for a to go order, the gentleman stated over the phone that the order was going to be ready in 30 minutes. Arrived 35 minutes later and he stated another 5-10 minutes. While waiting 3 other orders were ready except mine. I asked the gentleman how much longer and then stated 10-15 minutes. A total wait time was 1 hour!

Great food, huge menu, and awesome staff.

Not good at all. $26 for “lunch” specials that don’t come with egg rolls or soup anymore according to staff, way over priced and made us SICK!A lot of the sauce was still like gelatin bc it’s frozen and not even heated back up right. I threw a lot of it away so big waste.

Terrible service. Called at 7:50PM on 03/14/2020 and the young man thought everything was super funny taking my order. He mentioned that the delivery fee is $3.00. I told him that you guys are literally down the street. Then he decided to be a smart *** and tell me to come and pick it up. Then I told him again that I wanted delivery. One thing led to another that I just hung up. I feel that he was just trying to get as much money possible.

I love the grilled pork chop. Best in Jersey Village if you ask me. I have tried other places and NO ONE compare. No problem ordering online, fresh food every time!!!

Love the food. Very clean and watched them clean a table and everything was properly cleaned.

Food is good and staff is very friendly. I enjoy the welcoming atmosphere.

I finally didnt pass it up. The dining area is large and clean. The workers are nice and helpful. I was surprised at the options on the menu. Great food and service. I will be back.

The food is amazing. I ate here at least twice a month for a year and every dish was awesome. Everything was cooked properly and seasoned perfectly. The staff were friendly and polite. They have good prices. Their restaurant is clean and they even decorate for holidays. The only criticism I have is that sometimes theyre a little slow to bring the check, but if youre in a hurry they are very polite if you go to the counter to pay. I recommend upgrading to fried rice with your order. Its amazing. Egg noodle soup was amazing.

The food comes out hot and fresh. The egg rolls are to die for. But most of all the service was incredible. The manager was on his game and made sure everything was good. I will be going back ever chance I get.

I have eaten here 2x now. Both times the food was excellent and the staff was friendly. The dining area was tastefully decorated and contributed to an enjoyable dining experience. They also have a lunch menu as well as a dinner menu. Prices are typical for this type of food and the portion sizes are large, even for the lunch menu.

Excellent customer service!

C7 is like my favorite Pho I think (chicken white meat). Very good, and the sticky rice cakes and bbq is good.Nice little place. A little on the pricey side, but still not to bad. Servers and hosts are very friendly. I enjoy it.

I love Vietnamese food. Its good here and the prices arent bad. Service is nice :D

The atmosphere of the restaurant was average, nothing spectacular. Of course I didnt come for the decor, but ambiance is a big part of a diners experience.There is a variety of selection to choose from the menu. The entree’s serving was well balanced.The service was prompt and courteous. Prices are on average for this type of dining.If you are in the area, I recommend giving this place a try.

I love the Fried Egg Rolls and the Kung Pao chicken. My spouse always orders one of the soups and the Bowls are Large! The servings are large and I always have leftovers if we do not share an entree. We always eat here at the dinner hour and I havent tried it for lunch. The prices are reasonable the most expensive dish is around 15.95. Soup ranges from 7.50 up to 12.95 depending on the type you order. Great service and very friendly.

Everyone there is very nice. The food I have been ordering is awesome. I will try some different things on the menu that I have seen. People should come try it, they will love it.

Best restaurant in town

Great food quality and price is decent no banh mi tho. More of a Chinese/Viet cuisine type place.

Exponentially better than when I came here a few months ago. Wait staff was friendlier and the food was fresher. It no longer smells of paint or lacquer thinner (thankfully as Im very sensitive to smells). Two thumbs way up!

Great staff and great food

Awesome food

My family and friend had lunch here today and to our surprise that the food is great, service is friendly, and atmosphere is good & very clean. I don’t recommend many restaurants but recommend this one. Will be back.

Food is very flavorful. Very delicious. The pho is amazing here.

Attempted to order delivery. Gave credit card info to a young woman 5 times. Each time she asked if I could repeat and kept laughing throughout the process. Asked to speak to a manager or someone in charge. Another young woman answered - I asked if she was in charge. Her reply: sure - to more laughter. Informed them I would no longer be ordering from them.Ive been ordering food from this restaurant for 3 years. Its a shame I cant trust them with my credit card info any longer.Identity and Credit Card theft are real dangers - Get people who are going to act professional on the phone.

Ive been coming here about every other week since I moved here this February 2018 you get a lot of food for what you pay. The food here is very good! The service is outstanding and theyre very polite and courteous!! I highly recommend this place to anyone!!

Just an absolutely fantastic experience. Delivery, Carry-Out or Dine-In this restaurant is amazing. Delivery is always fast and friendly. Never had any issues with our orders whatsover. Attention to detail is something that you will notice with every dish here and its all fantastic.

Came here when our local favorite Vietnamese place closed. Pretty good, would have been 5 stars if they had refilled our drinks. We will be back again.

The best Vietnamese restaurant on the Northside! Always clean and all the staff are very friendly! Even the owner stops by our table to greet us every time! I love this place! Highly recommend

I do not leave a lot of reviews, but this place has to stay open for the sake of humanity, so i will do what i can. For starters, the service, flawless! I am not sure how every person in the restaurant can assist you without seeming bothersome, but this place pulls it off. They are so eager to serve you it puts chic-fil-a to shame. hahaha . . . secondly, the food, PERFECT. My lord that chef can cook. . and that is an understatement . .. i was almost in tears it was so good. the presentation, the flavor, the consistency. . It would make Gordon Ramsey blush . . please please please give this place a try. . you will not regret it!!! thank you Viva Restaurant, for a very refreshing experience!!!!

Since we discovered this restaurant, we became a regular. Like at least twice a week! I like the taste of the food because its so close to the feeling of eating home cooked food, which is the best for me! You can taste that its clean and well cooked. The staffs are amazing also and the manager. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! 😍

Ive only been here once. Its close to work and tried it. Its nothing special. Its typical mix of Chinese and Vietnamese food. No boba though. Go next door for that 👍

This was my first time eating here. I ordered delivery and the food came early which is a plus especially by it being the day before Thanksgiving. The food was hot and absolutely delicious! I ordered the crab puffs they were amazing! I tried these for the first time at another restaurant and did not like them but, they definitely changed my opinion. I also ordered the Orange chicken and I must say it was prepared like I’ve never seen it before. It was also amazing. The chicken was hot and tender. It was also served with sliced oranges throughout. The portion was well worth the money you pay for it. I ordered my mom the beef fried rice and she loved it as well. The only thing she didn’t like was she had a lot of rice and only two packets of soy sauce so she had to get some from my sister who was on the way over (luckily) LOL! I enjoyed every bite and even had enough to share with my sister. I definitely recommend and will be ordering from here again. I hope the next experience is just as great as my first.

The spring rolls were top notch, and bigger than most. Friendly service, true family run place. Only complaint was the iced coffee, which came as half a glass of drink, mostly ice. Maybe it was a fluke. .. Id go back

I had the Bun Bo Hue and my daughter had the Charbroiled pork, egg cake and fried egg rice dish. Both of them are very good. The broth is flavorful with the right amount of vermicelli and the chili on the side. The service is good. Their price is very reasonable with the coupon they are offering right now that makes it even better. I have tried other pho places on the northwest side of town and I think this place is much better.

Hands down the best Asian cuisine restaurant I have had in Houston. Best attentive staff I have ever had as well. Food was well prepared and beautifully executed, definitely filling but leaves you wanting more because how great the food is. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

This restaurant is a sit-down family style restaurant. The Vietnamese cuisine served here was very good. There were no complaints with the party I was with, and the servers were good. They kind of need to step it up with the rice, though. Us Asians go through that fast. Haha.

Great service, amazing pho, and a wide selection on the menu. Very authentically Vietnamese. We will definitely be back.

Excellent Vietnamese and Chinese food! Everything was fresh and served hot. Their vietnamese egg rolls w/their wonderful fish sauce is the best!

Pretty authentic Vietnamese food here. Place is clean and loaded with fans, ready to fight the Houston heat! Because the only thing that should be hot is the food.

We have been eating here for a couple years. We love the food and people. Always good. Great prices. Nice staff.

Good food good price

Love. Love. Love this place. The fact that we can get both quality Chinese and Vietnamese is amazing. beef vermicelli, and orange chicken are my faves

Good atmosphere and food. Open till 11pm is awesome for a late night snack. They deliver too. Best pan fried rice cake in Houston and I’ve tried them all.

So far the best Vietnamese food in NW area!

Wonderful atmosphere. Great food. I had the sesame Chicken. Was very nice. Best fresh orange juice ever.

Have been going here for quite a while and have never been disappointed. Very, very fresh with excellent pho, vermacelli, and lots of great choices. Appetizers are on point also. Great service!
