Correction: This story has been updated to reflect that Tue Tam opened on Bellaire Boulevard in the Alief area and not in Bellaire.

Tue Tam is reimagining traditional Vietnamese dishes with a modern twist as a new restaurant on Bellaire Boulevard in the Alief area.

Located at the Universal Shopping Center near other Asian eateries, such as Viet-Cajun restaurant Crawfish and Noodle and DaBoba beverage shop, Tue Tam stands out as an MSG-free and vegan version of classic Vietnamese cuisine. Its menu includes noodle soups, spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches—replacing the protein with tofu and fresh vegetables.
