    Brisket pho
    Kristen C.

    Love coming here! It is the best pho I've had! The noodles are cooked to order which makes a big difference. The broth has a unique and delicious flavor! The service has always been great, it is family owned and they are very friendly.

    I've eaten here four times. I have had the Banh Mi, lamb chops and Pho. Today is the fourth time over the past month or so. Every meal I've had here has been spot on. The Banh Mi was huge, the bread was crispy and inside fresh and soft the meat was tasty as well as seasoned as I asked (spicy). The three lamb chops on a huge mound of fried rice were prepared as asked (med rare) they were nice sized and tasted as good as a $60 entree anywhere in the city except with one extra lion chop. The Pho was outstanding! The bone broth was some of the best I've had and was told they make it from scratch and takes a long time. I recommend this place without a problem! Tonight was shrimp & noodles

    single or double best margarita   no hangover

    Absolutely the best margaritas, over and over, we have ever had in Texas, Mexico, and everywhere else we drink on this planet! Ken is always ready to make them just the way we like them and will make yours with other flavors Ke and Lien run a relaxing place to have all hand crafted delicious food with No preservatives spring rolls, vermicelli with pork, chicken, shrimp and all the fixings we love it here adds to our several great places to eat and enjoy company in Kemah, League City, Snd Clear Lake Shores

    Pork spring rolls and salmon vermicelli

    Super Fantastic! I've eaten at Ava's several times and have never been disappointed. I've had brisket Pho (4 times, cuz it's that good!), tofu and chicken fried rice, pork spring roll, and salmon vermicelli. If you like it spicy, i highly recommend getting a side of their Chile oil. It elevates the dishes to another level. Their cocktails are great as well. Give them a try! Picture is of latest dishes.

    Food tastes okay, but the everything is tiny. I get inflation and all but for what I paid here (it was my first time) I could have gotten double portion sizes at the Chinese restaurant down the street. The staff was very nice and welcoming, I just wish I could have loved everything about this place.

    Fresh and delicious pho! This is my second time eating from Pho Barr in Dickinson, and both times,…read moreI greatly enjoyed it. The first visit I dined in, and this time I got pick up. Their fresh, delicious food and milk tea with boba were ready in a jiffy, and the staff was friendly, courteous, and welcoming. So excited to have this restaurant near my home! I'll definitely be back again.

    Came to try Pho Barr for the first time today…read more We ordered the Bò Lúc Lắc on the hot stone plate and the Bún Bò Huế. The Bún Bò Huế lacked the traditional rich flavor I'm used to, but it tasted clean and wasn't oily. It also didn't include the traditional pork blood, but mixing in shrimp paste, lime, fish sauce, and chili helped bring it closer to the authentic flavor. The food stayed hot in the metal bowl which was nice. The Bò Lúc Lắc arrived hot and sizzling, just as advertised. The beef was flavorful and cooked well. One thing to note is that it came with white rice rather than the fried rice shown on the menu description. The food was good, and I'd probably come back, but I'd try a different location because the service at this one was disappointing and ruined the experience. Andrew was very helpful, but the other two employees spent most of the time on their phones with their backs turned toward the dining room, making it difficult to get their attention. We had to get up ourselves to ask for a water refill. While in the middle of eating, one of the girls brought our check and said, "Whenever you're ready, no rush." It felt like we were being rushed out while I was still actively eating and it wasn't busy. What was especially disappointing was that she never asked how our food was or whether we wanted to order anything else before closing out our tab. I had planned on ordering a drink after my meal, but after that experience, I decided I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Better hospitality would have made a big difference.

    Food: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Pho Barr is a really solid place for Vietnamese food in the area. Been here a few times with family and now a few times with a friend or small group, and our experiences here have been almost all great. Unlike the Pho Barr in Clear Lake, this one does a much better job at managing service and the waitress I had on my most recent visit was very kind to both me and my friend. Food wise, I got the Mi Kho and Ultimate Fries. For a relatively low price, the Ultimate Fries give you A LOT of food, and I recommend getting it with the beef or pork, since they pair best with the egg yolk and other sauces on the fries. My Mi Kho was also really good. The broth was nice and rich and the Noodles themself were light and easy to eat with the sweet soy sauce. The atmosphere, particularly in daytime when light shines in through the restaurant front makes for a really comforting and open experience. Overall, Pho Barr deals with handling Vietnamese cuisine much better than other restaurants in the area and is definitely worth a try!

    The food was really good and our server was great, but the hostess situation honestly annoyed me…read more When we walked in, she was already in the restroom. There's a sign at the front that literally says "wait to be seated," but since she wasn't there, our server ended up telling us we could just sit anywhere.I had knocked on the restroom door because I had to use it urgently and got no response. She was in there for so long that we had already sat down, ordered appetizers, looked through the menu, and when our server came back to take our order, we even asked for a couple more minutes because we hadn't decided yet. She still hadn't come out. You could literally hear TikToks or Reels playing from inside too.And I get it because I've been there. I've gone to the restroom at work and sat on my phone for a little bit too, so I'm not judging someone for taking a few extra minutes. But when you hear someone knock or hear them trying the door, I feel like that should be your clue that somebody is waiting to use the restroom and it's probably time to wrap it up. Especially when you're the hostess and you're also supposed to be up front seating people.The food was good and our server did a great job, but the whole situation with the hostess was just really unprofessional and honestly irritating.
