    (+) Much like the original location, they have some of the best banh mi sandwiches in town. The taste of their food is consistent and you know what to expect. (+) Prices are reasonable. (+) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is neat and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (+) Service was attentive as they turned down the AC after they saw our kids were shivering. (+) Unlike the original location, it is not as busy and I've never had to wait for seating. We typically go to the Hwy 6 location as we live closer to that side of town, but if I lived closer to Telfair I would definitely come to this one more.

    Been here a few times now and love it every time! I usually get pho with beef but this time I tried the dark chicken meat. There was soo much chicken, I couldn't eat it all :) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always love coming here and I love the wall - it has fun facts about Vietnam and the language.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Beef Banh Mi
    Christine S.

    I LOVE Pho Ben's beef banh mi. Yesterday we ordered from Justa Pho & were so disappointed. The banh mi at Pho Ben are so much better. Double the beef & veggies from the other place. Much bigger loaf. Even the fish sauce is better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant vibe is better, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both places have great service. I've been coming to Pho Ben since they opened & I can't believe I've never left a review. Trying to think of any negatives - I guess the shaken beef isn't my favorite here & I didn't like the pork banh mi as much as the beef. The fried egg rolls are absolutely delicious but the portion of one order is small. Each order is only enough for one person so if you're with a date or your family make sure you get more than one order - which I believe is $5.50 for 1 & a half egg rolls. Even if I want the egg rolls it makes it hard to justify spending money on a tiny portion & not a whole sandwich instead. Anyways, I love my faves from here so much they 5 stars from me anyways!

    Shaking beef
    Phong M.

    Shaking beef was very poorly done. No char what so ever and very bland. Tasted like half sautéed beef that was on low fire. Shaking beef is not like this. $19 for this is a straight rip off.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant and yummy viet food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat has a traditional taste to it and was delicious. Portion sizes are big and reasonable prices!

    Came with my husband for a quick dinner post Costco visit. He ordered a pork banh mi and I got the number 16 pho. My husband said do NOT order the banh mi's from here.. he gives it a 2/5. He said the pork was good and flavorful (a bit over charred) but the bread and veggies were not good. The bread was not toasted and very hard. The veggies had no flavor and did not taste pickled. The pho broth was good but the noodles were on the harder side. The beef flanks were overcooked and chewy.. I have been going to the highway 6 location for years as I grew up in Sugarland but this location was alright. Would probably not come back to this location. the service was quick and server was super attentive. restaurant had a good amount of seating. we came on a friday night around 5:30 and it was pretty packed but was still able to get sat immediately.

    I visited Houston for the weekend on a cold rainy day Pho Ben was phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was extremely fast and it was packkeeed out and line out the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My biggest take away from Pho Ben was the white meat chicken pho which is one if the items I ordered. The CHICKEN HAD FLAVOR and i loved it. Most pho I've had is just plain unflavored which i don't mind but Pho Ben just opened my taste buds to a whole new level.

    Shrimp and egg roll bun and kid's beef noodle soup
    Sandra K.

    Everything was great and service was fast. My bun with shrimp and an egg roll was tasty. My child's beef noodle soup was mostly noodles and my son likes broth. It was still a good deal. Egg roll was delicious and we drank his soda.

    Food always comes out quick and hot. Staff is fast paced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is usually kept clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]I go here a lot with my family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bun Bo Hue - it's good but I don't think it's authentic.

    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.

    Food: 4.9/5 Service: 4.6/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.7/5 I really enjoyed myself here. 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.
