I like how they serve the pho. They pour the soup base at the table. Bad: - The one restroom thing doesn't really do it for me. - Price was on the high side compared to what I thought the food quality was. Overall: I would go again.

With several Filipino restaurants in the Houston area, blessed to have found Pinoy Gourmet. We…read morewere introduced to this restaurant when a party had the delicious pork belly (pictured), which had the perfect blend of crispy skin and flavorful meat. During our first visit here, we tried the bangus sisig, the long anise breakfast, lumpia, lumpia gulay, pancit, and pork bbq. All dishes were served fresh, all with the traditional flavors of authentic filipino cuisine. The service was top notch, and all staff were friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant for those wanting to experience a laid back filipino dining experience.

FAMILY OWNED RESTAURANT! Please come visit! Support our local restaurants! Staff is very friendly…read moreand helpful. The food is really solid, broth is FRESH and light. They give you a good amount of meat as well. It's a nice place to go with family to chill, or with friends to study. I went with my father and we spoke over lunch, it was nice to have a place where the music wasn't loud and the spacing from the other tables are abundant. The rice plates are GREAT. I had the pork chop and rice with my partner the last time, and it was tender and gently charred. Served with veggies, and aromatic chicken soup on the side. 10/10

A hidden gem in West Houston! It was wonderful to enjoy some flavorful beef pho here. The vegetable…read moresides (bean sprouts, mint, lime, and basil) were incredibly fresh and added the perfect touch. The restaurant is spacious, with clean restrooms, making it an ideal spot to satisfy your pho cravings. The spring rolls were traditional and delicious, adding to the authentic experience. While I didn't try any of the other dishes, I noticed nearby tables enjoying generous portions of chicken, seafood stir fry, noodles and rice dishes --definitely a good value for the price. The service here is a hit or miss, however, given that it's a casual restaurant and the food is great. It's easily forgiven. It's absolutely worth a visit! If I lived closer, this would easily become a go-to spot for me.

This spot is low key with a nice, clean interior and friendly service. I visited here to check out…read moresome noodles and crawfish. When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

One of the best Vietnamese places I've ever been hands down. I still think about it a year later…read more They had a very big variety of food on the menu, so you could have your fill of Vietnamese dishes. I believe the crawfish is seasonal, so go during crawfish season because this pho was delicious. The crawfish were so tender and the pho was so flavorful. The beef dish was also so good to eat and balanced. The fried beef balanced so well with the fresh salad and rice. I will say that when we went the parking lot was a little deserted at night. I would definitely lock your doors and take all your valuables. But that's all or Houston, so just stay safe!

During my latest visit, I tried some pho and also had the Bun Cha Ha Noi again…read more Like last time, the Bun Cha was delicious. The grilled meats, fresh herbs, perfectly cooked rice noodles all made up perfect bite after perfect bite. The portion is quite large and filling, so I definitely feel like this is a very good option if you're looking for Vietnamese but not just your typical pho and banh mi options. The pho was solid too, but the only complaint I will make about the pho is that the portion of meat was way too small, contrary to the bun cha. We ordered a build your own bowl, and it came with maybe 1 piece of each of the meats we selected. The broth itself was pretty good and perhaps one of the better pho soups in the area. Service is decent but I have yet to visit while it is busy. Each time I visit, there is only one person taking orders and bussing tables--the restaurant usually isn't busy so the one FOH staff is not as issue.

Ever since my other pho spot in Sugar Land went down hill I decided to venture out to Pho Tan Loc…read more First off, the pricing and menu. Wow this is def lower than majority of the places I usually go to. It's very hard to find banh mi for $5.25 now since most places are around $6+ now let alone $10.95 for pho (large). Also a bonus that they have a lunch combo for $13 which includes appetizer, entree, drink! Second the food. I ordered the lunch combo for $13. Got the egg roll and the pho (choose 4 meats) and an ice tea. The egg roll was decent and the pho was good but I prefer for it to have a little bit more stronger flavor. Nonetheless it wasn't bad. My boyfriend got the bun bo hue and he said it's decent, not very salty so he had to add some shrimp paste to his liking. I think the only comment he had was that he didn't like that they didn't give pork feet and just gave a slice of pork instead. TLDR: How's food? Decent. Price? Good value. Would I come back? Yes.

I don't think I've ever consumed so much shrimp paste in my life, so if you don't like that flavor you probably wanna go elsewhere, but other than that everything was just really comforting and nice to eat. My least favorite of what we got was the Banh Bot Chien, and even that was still really good and had a nice crunch. Everything else we ordered was all really authentic and very forward with flavor. The restaurant was incredibly busy on the Saturday we went, with the bustling lunch crowd of both large families and old couples filling up the entire restaurant, so try to go at an off-hour where most people aren't eating. It was just an incredible experience that I 100% recommend to anyone wanting authentic Vietnamese food.

Com Nieu Houston is probably one of the best in the Houston area when it comes to authentic…read moreVietnamese food. I've been going here for several years, both in person and for take-outs, and they have never failed to impress me. I like to go here for late lunch or early dinner when the restaurant isn't as busy. The restaurant is in the same shopping center as the Chase Bank and Thanh Da Quan. Even though it's located on the far side of Chinatown near My Hoa Market, the drive is definitely worth it. The restaurant is small and well decorated, and the workers are nice. The dishes are a bit pricey compared to other Vietnamese restaurants for the portion size, but the taste and quality definitely make it worth it. Even my parents, who are super picky when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, love the food at Com Nieu Houston. Like the name, most of the dishes here are in clay pots. Everything is always super flavorful and perfectly cooked. My absolute favorites are the Thit Ba Chi Kho To (caramelized pork belly), the Suon Non Rim To (braised spare ribs) and the Canh Chua Tom (Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with shrimps). I also really love their Com Chien Ca Man (salted fish & chicken fried rice), which I think is one of the best in town, as well as their Ga Kho Xa Ot (braised lemongrass chicken). The Ca Bong Lau Kho To (caramelized catfish) is my parents' favorite. Photos are from my most recent visit.
