Clay Pot Kitchen — Cơm Niêu Houston — is a family-run Vietnamese restaurant at 13080 Bellaire Blvd in the MBT Center. Our signature is cơm niêu: rice cooked in a clay pot until the bottom turns golden and crunchy.
Pair it with a caramelized clay-pot fish, a bowl of canh chua and a plate of greens, and share it all around the table.
