Dakao Restaurant and Bar

Houston's definitive destination for chicken pho, this Bellaire stalwart expanded during the pandemic and rebranded with a sprawling menu that still centers on its legendary pho ga. The broth is built specifically around chicken: fragrant, clear, and lighter than beef pho but just as complex. You can customize with white meat, dark meat, bone-in cuts, or even baby chicken egg. Loyal customers have been returning for 15 or more years, and the kitchen accommodates every preference with over 100 menu items.
