About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for creative cocktails
Located in Houston's Spring Branch neighborhood, The Blind Goat is a chef-driven modern Vietnamese restaurant led by Christine Ha — the blind chef who won MasterChef Season 3 and earned praise from Gordon Ramsay himself.

Christine's story lives in every dish. Her Caramelized Salmon recreates the clay pot catfish that earned her a white apron. Her Rubbish Apple Pie — praised by Ramsay on TV — gets a Vietnamese twist with star anise, ginger, and lemongrass.

The space is warm, coastal, and unpretentious — rope accents, rustic textures, and a neighborhood energy worth crossing town for. Happy hour runs all day Monday, with daily specials Tuesday through Thursday.
Private dining, buyouts, and catering available. The Blind Goat delivers an elevated experience without the attitude.

    We've been to Blind Goat many times. This time we had two of the grandkids with us (5 and 7 yrs). They are good eaters--willing to try new food. They have had Blind Goat take out but this was their first time in the restaurant. As we arrived, my grandson immediately engaged the hostess about the animals on the shelf behind her. She explained what they were and their names, he was satisfied. Our waiter came over quickly and took our drink order. And we started ordering; first up wings and egg rolls-gone in a flash! Then we ordered green beans, brisket rice, shumai dumplings and crawfish and noodles. I thought we would be taking a lot back home. I was wrong. I think we brought home 1/2 cup of the rice! Our waiter was a delight as both kids wanted to make sure things were not too spicy. Our meal was delicious and the kids enjoyed themselves. Thanks

    Great service, food and selection of menu items. Casual neighborhood restaurant, but still nice enough for business dinner. The whole fish is such a fun dish to order for a group and so well prepared. Everything is shareable and delicious!
