The Blind Goat

Located in the vibrant heart of Houston’s energy corridor, The Blind Goat redefines Asian fusion dining with a masterful Vietnamese twist. This culinary gem invites guests to embark on a flavorful journey that perfectly balances bold traditional influences with inventive, contemporary flair.

The menu is a carefully curated showcase of standout dishes that promise to captivate every palate. Picture the rich, garlicky allure of their Crawfish & Garlic Noodles, where tender crawfish nestle amid perfectly al dente noodles bathed in an intoxicating blend of garlic and butter. For those seeking an explosion of spice and crunch, the Bang Bang Shrimp and Sticky Wings Gluten-Free are irresistible starters that marry vibrant textures with fiery complexity.

Highlighting their commitment to diverse flavors, the Texas BBQ Brisket Spring Rolls and Texas BBQ Brisket Fried Rice beautifully marry southern comfort with Vietnamese tradition, creating an unexpected yet harmonious fusion. Not to be missed is the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap, a colorful bowl brimming with marinated beef, fresh vegetables, and a perfect fried egg, delivering a comforting, soulful experience in every bite.

Dessert here is equally daring and delightful. The Rubbish Apple Pie a La Mode takes a modern spin on the classic, delivering warmth and sweetness with every forkful, finishing your meal on a high note.

The drinks program deserves equal accolades. Expertly crafted house cocktails like the Phorita—a bold reinterpretation of the classic margarita infused with jalapeño tequila and housemade beef pho broth—or the refreshingly vibrant Watermelon Crush featuring Peruvian pisco and guava, elevate the dining experience into something truly memorable. Each sip reveals layers of creativity and balance that mirror the culinary approach of the kitchen.

Atmospherically, The Blind Goat strikes the perfect chord between chic and casual. The ambiance is stylish but welcoming, effortlessly seating families, friends, and couples alike in a setting that feels both intimate and relaxed. Thoughtful service further enhances the experience, with attentive staff who bring genuine warmth and knowledgeable recommendations to the table—an aspect customers consistently praise.
