Vietnamese Buddhist Center

This is the most beautiful temple I have ever been to; it’s so peaceful here and spacious, overall. The Buddha statues here are grande, as well as the cute red bridge in the front!
There is vegetarian food that’s served and festivities that occur during holidays; I came here to celebrate têt nöel (the Christmas holiday); it was perfect!

So peaceful!
Do not follow Google maps. Entrance is off of 1876.
Full of amazing statues and displays.
The highlight is the 3 story statue of Quan The Am Bo Tat.
So clean and calming here. Site to see.

This place is beautiful. The large statue was magnificent. Its gorgeous how big and white the statue is. The pond in front is beautiful and it makes the place very peaceful. So happy that my boyfriend and I got to come here on the day of vietnamese new years.
Only downside of the place is rhe large dirt road that seperates the temple and the statue. They may be doing construction but it looks like the dirt has been there for awhile.
Great place to come and sit next to the pond for peaceful thinking.
Happy new year! May this year bring prosperity, wealth and great health!

Been going here as a kid. Really peaceful amd fun on holidays. Sometimes when I need a peaceful retreat, I just walk in and sit at the pond with a tree. I love the temple. Nothing can calm me down more.

Beautiful when it’s decorated. Relaxing grounds and friendly people.

Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle (and terrible drivers) in and around Houston. Very calming and good for photo ops.

the name says it all, all people in this pagoda are vietnamese. i usually come here on sunday noon. this place quite big, but it has only one main temple and one huge statue outside.
This place offers vietnamese classes for kids that are born in the US. it also has many buddhist festivals (and it’s impossible to find a parking lot those nights, but they always give out free toys for kids, and its crowded and fun, so come early (:)
it’s a buddhist temple so it offers only vegetarian food, but the food on sunday is very cheap and tasty. food is made fresh in the kitchen since 7am, and available for sale at around 9am. if you’re late, it may run out of your favorites. you can pay cash or card, but mostly people use cash. you can get a box of vegetarian food for about $ 5. sweet soup is $ 1/​cup, if you want a big jar then it’ll be $ 5. water for .75, soft drinks for $ 1.25. there often are many families, or kids from vietnamese classes at noon, so that’s the most crowded time.
the best thing is you can get a free lunch at around 12.45 sunday. why? because its a pagoda. don’t take free food for granted. they serve rice with soup and some other food. too good for free stuff.

I really enjoyed this temple, it is very peaceful and beautifully done. Take some time and walk around, you will enjoy it.

Decided to visit this place after seeing it listed as one of the Chronicle’s «Seven Wonders of Houston,» and it did not disappoint! A little hidden gem. I dare you to visit here and not leave feeling meditative and peaceful.
The first surprise came when we saw some beautiful horses grazing in the grass by the parking lot. Wander by beautifully-​maintained pools and fountains, gardens and statues, and take your shoes off to go in the temple. The Quan Am statue, at 72 feet tall, is truly impressive.
Kids will enjoy feeding the koi in the pond (there’s a little machine where you put in a quarter to get fish food).
Overall, a quiet and reverent spot to take a romantic stroll or just enjoy being alone.
