    Tomato soup
    Nicki M.

    I was in the area for a tennis match and asked my opponents for a lunch recommendation in which Chelsea's was mentioned. Went straight there and was comfortable in the casual dining environment. Great selection of lunch items! I initially wanted the baked potato but they sold out :(. I settled on chicken salad on French bread- absolutely stunning sandwich! Creamy and delicious! I also got the tomato basil soup and it was delicious too.

    This sandwich was massive!! I didn't realize a regular was this ginormous. They aren't shy with the portion size. I paid $10 or $11 for sandwich, chips and drink. Not too bad... Service could use some work. You don't feel invited upon entering. I did come close to closing but still, regardless of the time, every customer should be welcomed with a smile or greeting. The lady who took my order appeared to be inconvenienced by me wanting to place an order... I got my food to go. As others stated, it's an older cafe. Tuna was just okay, I didn't really like the flavor. I'm more of a Subway tuna kinda gal, don't judge me lol I'll try it again but maybe a different sandwich...

    Classic poboy, mustard potato salad, pasta salad and jalapeño chips. 10/10.

    I love to go to Chelsea's deli when I'm throwing a party. I pick up a half gallon of chicken salad, fresh made rolls and croissants...and that is the star of my food for any party! I recently threw a baby shower and, as usual, I received many compliments on Chelsea's chicken salad!! This was a party of 20 and there was plenty of food for everyone to enjoy with left overs for the momma to be!!

    Prosciutto croissant and roast beef sandwich
    Fiona L.

    Found this hole in the wall place, did not expect the sandwiches to be expensive for such a casual place. The pictures of the menu on yelp do not reflect current prices and I didn't think to get a picture but it was about $8 for my prosciutto croissant sandwich. Granted they do give you your moneys worth of prosciutto but it was SO salty, I could barely eat it. The lady that took our order was nice but the two ladies at the counter barely said anything to us, one was on what looked like a personal phone and we had gotten two coffees, they didn't even tell us where we could get our cups or where the coffee was! Might be an ok place to get a sandwich to-go but I think I'll stick to Panera.

    BLT Croissant
    John G.

    First time and ordered the BLT. Service was fast and friendly! BLT on a croissant was very good. Lots of bacon. I look forward to visiting again very soon!

    Always a pleasure when i get the opportunity to eat here. Food is always phenomenally crafted. I…read morewasn't previously a fan of peanut sauce until i tried here. I get the p5 on the menu and it's pretty decent cuts of meat. Lots of it that's for sure they aren't shy on protein. Services is always quick and happy to help no matter how busy. Store is clean and well maintained with lots of seating and accommodations for kids. Stellar place for family or dining alone. I normally add photos but didn't bother i was so excited for the meal.

    One of Houston's most successful pho establishments has to be Pho Dien, as they've quietly been…read morekilling it Chinatown, Katy, and Humble. For the latter, it's gotten to a point where no other Vietnamese spot has come close. For pho seekers who happen to be in Humble, Pho Dien 1960 is an absolute must. The place is small, but they've stacked their small dining room into a very group friendly setup consisting of small booths and tables. The stale air quality is reminiscent of old school spots around town and the young Viet guys running the joint keep the place friendly and efficient. In terms of the pho, there are no complaints. The broth skews somewhat sweet, but it's aromatic enough for me to normally slurp it completely dry. Their best asset has been the meat, which is excellent. Their combination dac biet is an excellent variety that includes meatball, tripe, flank, and some of the best rare steak and tendon I've had. The latter is buttery and smooth enough to where I can't get enough. I tend to order it in their XL (xe lua) size, which is an off-menu item that goes for nearly $20 ($19.45) and is one of the largest bowls I've seen. I always look forward to getting it. While their banh mi and bun dishes are not nearly the same caliber, they still pass the test as a quality offering. The cha gio is a bit paltry, without any greens and a small bowl of semi-spicy nuoc mam (fish sauce). Their Vietnamese coffee is chocolate-y, and perfect for to-go. Their weekday lunch combo special is a good deal, in which one can come in for a small or medium sized pho and get an order of two cha gio or goi cuon with an iced tea. Parking is really easy on the weekends, especially since most of the businesses in the strip mall are closed. It may feel a tad more expensive ($12-18 per most entrees) but this is the price one pays in suburbia without having to head to any of the enclaves.

Inside is clean, bright and welcoming. good amount of tables for dining in. The Pho was a decent size bowl. The noodles were warm and not a clump at the bottom of the bowl, which happens a lot at Pho shops when they just throw some noodles at the bottom of the bowl and pour Pho on top of it. Very deep beef flavor which all the accompanying spices you're looking for in a good Pho/ The Banh Mi was very good as well. Bread was nice and crusty, yet soft in the middle and had ample amount of actual meet in the sandwich. If you're around the area and looking for good Pho, definitely give this place a shot, you wont be disappointed.

    We were here for yesterday because they had a promotion of 50% off on pad Thai and curry dishes…read more Everything went ok. Food wasn't that great but expected since we are in Humble area. We had a party of 7 and did order on the promotion items as described by the restaurant. But after paying I was recalculated the amount of the bill and found out they overcharged us. We had 5 pad Thai and none of them was discounted. They only discounted the curry dishes When asked the server Emili used the excuse that she forgot to do that in the system. Really???? I understand you may forgot to take off one item on the bill but 5??? That's more like intentional than a purely mistake. I did tell the manager about the issue and they did give me the discount as in their promotion but I felt very bad to be scammed like that. The manager did apologize but I don't see any sincerity on his part neither. I strongly suggest the management should review their policies and definitely should not scam your customers. Honesty should always be the best policy for your business.
