Tan Tan is a one-size-fits-all kind of place. It’s got throwback eighties vibes with pink neon and flashing lights, a dining room built to feed half of Houston, and a menu so long it could probably circle the moon. And while nothing here will blow your mind, it’s still pretty darn good. It’s also inexpensive and great for a low-key night when just about anything tasty will do. This Vietnamese-Chinese restaurant seemingly has something for everyone. Like excellent hot pot and giant plates of fried rice, and even has an entire menu section dedicated to stir-fried macaroni. We recommend not skipping the savory, pudgy delight that is bánh bột chiên (the first dish listed on the whole menu). It tastes like eggs and cheese but is actually just a steamed rice cake with tapioca starch mixed in. We could inhale at least five. And, thanks to an atmosphere best described as “Y2K tanning salon,” Tan Tan makes any casual dinner feel fun, even if you roll up wearing sweatpants at 11pm on a Wednesday.
