East meets South in this Vietnamese-Cajun mashup from a father-son team who wanted to meld their heritage with the culinary influences seeping from bayou country into their home state of Texas. Andy and Minson Ngo call their menu Asian Cajun, and describe it on their website as "a tad small." Yet the array ranges from pho to crawdads, po'boys, chicken wings and daquiris—"and more!" it promises. Only one of the quick-service restaurants currently operates outside of Texas, but the Ngos say they have plans to go elsewhere.
