This is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. Never disappoints. I was surprised to be greeted today by such an indifferent hostess. Is she capable of smiling? We definitely didn’t feel welcome until our friendly and knowledgeable waiter arrived.

The appetizers went off on the right foot but sadly, the main food went down hill,. My friends curry had 2 shrimp and raw vegetables, my pho had 2 tiny pieces of meat, and my other friends pho was just a bowl of soup. This is my first time but I will not be back. I'd rather go somewhere that cares less apout the atmosphere and more about the food.. I'd recommend this place for a cocktail and a nice place to talk over appetizers

I arrived on time at 5:15 pm for my reservation. I asked to sit inside because it was too hot outside and there were many open tables inside. But since I was single, I was asked to wait until the top floor opens at 5:30pm. I didn't mind waiting 15-20 minutes. I sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. However, after 30 minutes the barista told me that the top floor would be open at 6pm. Apparently the hostess advised me wrong. I asked why I couldn't I sit down at a table on the first floor, especially since they accommodated a couple who arrived much later than me and also booked a table upstairs. He said the tables are for 2 people(?!). I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for the table upstairs and ordered takeaway. I expected they at the very least wouldn't charge me for drink, but the manager was not there to make that decision. I was very disappointed with the service and general neglect as a guest.

Le Colonial used to be my favorite restaurant. I’ve heard that Le Colonial has changed management recently and it is very evident. The food was disgusting, it was cold, no flavor— it was one of the worse experiences ever!

What a great experience! Food, cocktails, service and ambiance were amazing. I had their version of a smokey old fashion which was nicely done, pork and shrimp roll- the best ever and finally the duck. The tea infused duck was moist with a great taste. Excessive portions, I had to take more than half home. Nice time I reserve a table in the dining or lotus room, the tables on the balcony were very small.

A request was made for no hot spices in the food. The waiter said the kitchen would accommodate this with no problem. Both items came out very hot. My guest has had radiation treatment and hot spices are painful. The peanut sauce was very hot and the sauce on the beef lettuce wraps was very hot. This ruined what I hoped would be a wonderful dining experience at a beautiful restaurant.

We were celebrating our anniversary and picked Le Colonial. The food - small plates, rolls and the dumplings were phenomenal. I think I can dine on small plates alone! For the main course we had the shaking beef and stir fried shrimp. Dessert was hot chocolate brownie with a scoop of ice cream. Service and ambiance was phenomenal

The service was so terrible. We had to ask for a waiter to come over to order drinks. Then we had to ask someone to find him to order dinner and another round of drinks. Dinner was served without the second round of drinks, and we had to flag someone down to get them. After dinner, we told the waiter we didn’t want drinks, dessert or coffee. He didn’t come back with the check. We had to ask two different staff members for our check. When our waiter finally brought it, he almost left it on the table and walked away even though our four credit cards were sitting out. Nevertheless, the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

We order 4 dishes and it took them 45 minutes to serve the food. The food was delicious but … we waited a bit too long. There was a couple that walked in the restaurant with us that walked in, had dinner and walked out before our food was served. Disappointing!
Le Colonial - HoustonResponded on February 20, 2023Hi Rosana-- First of all let us apologize for that unpleasantness. We are so glad that you eventually enjoyed the food, but were given lackluster service. The kitchen was a bit behind that evening and we appreciate you staying to dine despite the long wait. Your honest review is what will help us grow and moving forward I hope you will give us another chance to provide you with the 5-star experience you deserve.

Le colonial blew my mind. I walked in with no expectations but left with a new favorite restaurant. The staff was pleasant and the inside decore/aesthetic is gorgeous. And the food!!! My boyfriend and i got the ribs, brussel sprouts, and chicken stir fry. I would come back for just the brussel sprouts alone. I cannot wait to go again and try different items on the menu.

Definitely a great experience overall. The food, the ambiance and the service were all excellent. It was elegant without feeling stuffy. The pork and shrimp rolls were amazing and so was the Pho Bo. Also recommend the spicy chicken and perfectly cooked Shaking Beef. We also tried the Colonial Gin and Tonic which was great. And to end the meal we tried the Citron Pie which was the perfect complement to everything.
