I love the pho here is really good . The service is really fast, I definitely recommend it,i'm pretty sure you would love it . I give them fight start :) read more

Ph Gà Kho (dry chicken pho w soup on the side) from the pho gods in Vietnamese Cuisine Heaven on Bellaire Blvd in Chinatown, Houston. Succulent strips of tender, thin sliced chicken (white and dark w some skin for good measure) paired with hot fresh rice noodles and a smattering of bean sprouts, scallions, cilantro, basil, bits of fried onion, a freshly squeezed lime, hoisin, sriracha, and half a boiled egg. The broth on the side was beautifully flavored with deep clean notes of poultry without being over-umami'd. I would fly back here just for the pho, as it goes above and beyond the highly regarded NoVa area pho, which is fantastic, and light years away from NYC pho, which is garbage. #pho #houston #chinatown read more

See all

pho only..........so if you're the person that doesn't like pho and wants a rice plate, this place isn't for you. all the traditional options are solid (3/5) good prices. pho ga kho is interesting and delicious!! (4/5)...dry noodles that come with a delicious flavored oil. you cook your raw meat in a small side bowl of hot broth. something you definitely have to try. read more

Best.Pho.I've.Ever.Had. I think that sums it up. Everybody has their own preference when it comes to pho, but in my 32 years of eatting pho all over the world (literally every city I go to the first thing I do is look up their vietnamese restaurants) Pho Binh has it all. They only serve pho so you know there is no shame in their game. They do one thing and they do it right. 100%. Don't believe me? Often times they sell out a few hours before they close. The noodles are perfectly textured and with the right consistency. They are generous with their portions, particularly the meat. The condiments including the basil, beansprouts, lime and mint are always fresh. Moreover, they have the special 9-1-1 bowl that just kills it if you're particularly hungover... I mean hungry. read more

It tastes as good as it smells. So good. Sosososo good. FYI. This is strictly a PHO shop. No rice plates. No apps. No vermicelli. No sandwiches. No problem! :) read more

The menu is simple, just pho. And it's good and inexpensive. They're the busiest around 12 so try to come after the lunch rush if you want a seat and don't want to wait. But don't come too late! Because they close when they run out of pho. I usually get either #7 or the pho ga kho. I love how all the meat is thinly sliced and the veggies are always fresh. The broth for the pho ga kho is a bit salty, but it's very flavorful and goes well with the noodles. Unlike other places which overkill on MSG, I feel like this place doesn't have too much MSG. At least, I'm not frantically searching for water when I'm done with my meal. The ladies who work there assume you know what you want, so as soon as you're seated they stand there waiting for you to order. You have to ask for a menu if you don't know what you're getting. And you have to go up to the register to pay for your meal, no one will bring you the check. read more

Best Pho in town in my opinion! Pho Ga Kho is my favourite. The pho noodles are cooked just right there, and the chicken isn't dry. Well seasoned and tasty. The soup doesn't give me a headache like most other pho places which tells me that they don't use much MSG. Not a 5 star bc the only 5 star pho is homemade by moms. :) read more

The pho tai was okay, but nothing amazing. Left here feeling a little gross actually. Maybe it was an off day for them. The chanh muoi was a bit too sweet. read more

Well I had the sudden urge for some pho ga kho (dried chicken noodles), so I yelped and saw Pho Binh pop up. I wasn't too impressed with their pho in the past but I never tried their pho ga before. Well, I guess you can say I have found my go to spot for lunch! $5.90 (tax included) for a small bowl. It was the perfect amount of noodles and chicken. I liked that the noodles were cooked just perfect. I guess their peak hour is at 12-1 because when I got there around 12:45, it was a full house. My party of one had to squeeze in and sit between a whole bunch of men. Lol...yeah...it can be community seating if it gets super crowded, people. But it was alright...everyone did their own thing, and I just sat and ate my pho and off I went. read more

Pho Binh - Pho ga kho! Delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The first time I came here, I got so upset that I walked out without trying their food. There is a line, and even though the server ask for my name (party of 2), they gave the table for the group of only 3 that coming after me. Even though it is from Chinatown and it is busy, I have not experienced this in Pho Dien. Since I see it is always busy so I came back another time to try out the food, and I did not see anything good about this place to the point of getting in line for. The soup is plain and weird, even my husband has the same thinking with me. I grew up in VN until 17 so I am very picky on Vietnamese food, this place is just not the right one for me. read more

Pho Binh has been my go to spot for what I think is one of the best place for pho in Houston. They only serve pho so they know what they are doing. The soup is always served hot. The soup doesn't give you that thirsty feeling afterwards when you have a lot of MSG in the food. The soup is not too sweet like other places and have a taste that the broth has been cooked for a long time. I always get the raw sliced beef and have it cooked by the hot soup. Their chicken pho is also very yummy. Their service is quick and I've been there so many times that the employees already know what I am going to order when I go. The only thing others may have to get used to is during busy times on weekend you may have to share tables but it is definitely worth it. read more

Like Victor T said. Pho Binh isn't the cleanest vietnamese restaurant, but it is definitely has the BEST soup and meat (for pho) in H-town. I always order a large bowl of pho with an extra order of Tai (brisket), which only cost me an extra dollor. Dip the meat in Hoi Sin sauce + Sriracha sauce.. YUM!!! This place close early though, I think around 4PM. There was a few times when I went a 3 pm and they were out of soup. Definitely my favorite place for pho. read more

Always love my favorite bow pho ga kho here but sadly, I don't think their service will ever be improved at all... read more

Pho Binh - My favorite, Pho ga kho - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fast service, and really good pho, highly recommend. If you don't give this place 5 stars you tripping lol

When I lived in southeast, I would always go to the trailer one. Since I moved, I love that this location still satisfies my pho cravings. Pho Binh is the best....that's all you need to know. You can keep on reading reviews, but pho binh is still the best. Just go eat it ASAP before they run out and you will hate yourself for it! read more

Called in for a togo order of pho Bo (beef pho) for my boyfriend but they ran out and this was around 1:45 pm. I was disappointed considering he was craving for pho Bo so we opted for what they only had avail. Which was pho ga (chicken pho) Personally, I loved the pho ga! It had so much flavor and the small size could def feed me in two days! However, Pho ga dakao is still my #1 but pho Binh is now my #2 favorite The only thing I wish they served was quail eggs instead of a boiled egg. read more

Second time Ive been to the new location and I'm still a fan! I would give this place a five star if they had vietnamese eggrolls here, but I know for a fact that they are more focused on the prize which is their pho. How I judge the level of msg dumped in a broth is whether or not I have to down my drink during my meal or before I go, and with them I'm usually good with a few sips before we leave and I'm good. You can literally taste the freshness in the soup. I ordered the Pho Ga with Sac' n that's basically Chicken noodle soup with tripe. My favo. And I must say I was impressed about the way they thinly slice the chicken n tripe everytime, bc you can tell they took the time to thinly slice. The soup was superb... chicken slices were juicy.. tripe was tender.n veggies were fresh.. Fiance ordered the Pho Dac Biet. n that's the Beef noodle soup combo.. with thin slices of beef flanks..beef briskets... n really thin slices of beef tendons (thinnest I've ever seen tendons sliced)/tripe. I like this place overall bc of the quality n freshness of the broth, n the nice aroma you get with all the herbs in every bite. You know a pho business puts their customers in consideration when they delicately slice their meats so we don't have to chomp our food like horses. read more

First of all, when I walk into an ethnic restaurant and I'm the only caucasian person, I smile and give myself a secret high five because I know I picked the right place. This place is a pho factory!! They crank it out so fast you don't even have time to complain about the lack of anything but pho on the menu. And as for the pho itself, well, it was perfect! The medium was on point as far as portions go, perfect for lunch time (but for dinner I may venture into a large portion). read more

I love the broth here that i usually don't drink the last drop of pho lol. Reduce one star for service, being rushed for order and forgetting to give me drink. Why open at 8am-4pm? I really want to have dinner. read more

Don't come in here looking for the cleanest restaurant, but if you are seeking the best no-holds-barred pho in the city of Houston, then this is it. Order the pho tái nam (sliced steak and brisket) and you will be treated to the fattest and most tender brisket. The broth doesn't need any Srirachi or Hoisin sauce since it's that good. The staff here are responsive, and accommodating which is a nice surprise considering this place is always packed. You know a Vietnamese restaurant is the real deal when 99% of the customers are 'natives'. read more

Dry chicken pho needed more flavor or soy sauce. Added soup to the dish but was still bland. Had to add black pepper. Lemonade was good and was better than the dry chicken pho. Small side order of chicken pho was mediocre and did not blow me away. I noticed that the restaurant caters to old people. It could explain the blandness or houston is just a bland culinary town. read more

Good pho! Soup was flavorful and the service was pretty fast. We didn't wait long during lunch to get a table. The sprouts were clean and white. Something I notice at every pho place because some are brown. Liked how everything was fresh. My non-asian friends enjoyed it and it was their first time eating it too. It's located in this Asian plaza so there's other pho places to choose from. The price is very decent too for the size you get. read more

The chicken pho was amazing. #11 with soup on the side. It's an amazing flavor bomb in my mouth with those fried onion (?) bits and greens. The medium was a sensible size that I was able to finish. I could probably finish the large, but that's just gluttony. I love the fact that they ask if you want white, dark, or mixed meat. I'm still thinking about that meal 2 days later. You know it's good when you're still thinking about a meal days later! read more

Darn good pho and coffee. What else can you ask for? It looked like every Vietnamese person here knew every other Vietnamese person. The staff were extremely polite and shock, even the bathrooms were clean. A must visit! read more

This place is good! We were visiting Houston and had to leave early. They open at 7:30 so in we go. Service is good. Very accommodating. The restaurant looks clean. Pho broth is very good. Delicate flavor but oh so good! They only have beef pho and chicken pho, so if you're looking for variety, this is not it. They also have fresh fruit juice! I would definitely come back when I'm in Houston again! read more

I expected that this location would be as good the one on Mangum Rd but after my first experience there I can safely say that it's not. The menu is a bit different. No egg roll or ban mih. I ordered the Pho Ga which was ok, although there were only a few pieces of white chicken while the rest was chunk of gizzards and black meat. The Pho Tai was not the rich delicious clear broth that we've had at the other location. It was cloudy and had a very strong after taste of some weird spice. I'll just stick to the other location. read more

Stopped by this place because I was craving some Pho and Pho Binh by Night was closed. It was around 1 after the lunch service, so I was helped immediately. The waitress didn't speak any English, and was a little surprised that I didn't speak Vietnamese (I look like I might!). So she brought me a menu that looked like it was torn in half. I don't know where the other half went, but that's ok, because I already knew I wanted Pho Tai (Pho w/ medium rare beef). I also wanted some spring rolls, but it wasn't on the menu. I ordered a small bowl and tried to ask for spring rolls. She said ok. Before my email could even load, she came out with all the usual pho fixings (thai basil, mung bean sprouts, jalapenos). Then, a bus boy came out with some cooked mung bean sprouts. I was a bit confused, and at first I thought the old Vietnamese grandpa next to me ordered them, so I didn't touch them. Just when my email loaded, my pho came out. I started to realize my spring rolls weren't coming out, so I started munching on the sprouts. For the first time in my life, I finished the entire bowl, and the sprouts. The broth was amazing. The meal was super filling, and made a little lighter with sprouts (after all, aren't we all "trying to lose a little weight"?). If you're feeling voracious, order the medium or large bowl. All in all, it was a 15 minute lunch for $5.67. Bring cash because there's a $10 credit card minimum. read more

This is one of the better pho places in Chinatown/Bellaire area. Service is good here and the place is clean. They only serve pho here, no spring rolls/fried eggrolls/etc.. But the pho here is really good.. The broth, the meats, etc.. If you want good pho you should try Pho Binh. Man I am hungry for pho now. read more

Best PHO in Houston..!! I went there every Saturday..!! Especially dried chicken noodle,but my favorite drink is SoDa Xi Muoi read more

Definitely a chip off the old block. With it's minimal hours and sweet broth taste, you can definitely tell it's from the Binh chain. This is pretty much an only lunch time place. Place is the norm for a good pho place. Comes out fast and it is cheap. I like the Pho Binh chain cause of the taste of the broth. It's not loaded with MSG and has a homemade taste to it. It tends to be a sweeter broth than most places, which speaks to me certain days. Great to have a variety of pho broth in this city. read more

Hands down, best pho in Houston. My coworker brought me here for lunch one day, and ever since then I've been hooked! I crave their pho at least once a week. My favorite is their pho ga, the chicken soup. You have to ask for it without any tendons or gizzards, because they will add it in if you do not specify. The broth is clear and very rich and flavorful, and the chicken is nice and soft. I've also tried the pho ga kho, which is the dry chicken soup. It comes with fried crispy onions on top, so it adds a really good flavor. If you like beef, the pho tai here is excellent as well. If you're looking for a quick lunch on the cheap, you should definitely check this place out. And it doesn't hurt that the food is quite amazing. read more

This is the only place that I've ever had pho ga kho, but OMG, it's so good! There's something about the mix of chicken breast, thigh, gizzard, and half of a boiled egg, mixed with fried onion toppings... so good! They're also very quick and efficient with the food once you order. read more

Pho is delicious . We order takeout from here very often and are always pleased and full . The service is really good they are friendly, I will go back again:) read more

when ever it gets cold in Houston I head over to one of the best Pho places in town. This place is packed most of the time. the service is good but the pho is even better. I love the taste. the only things i don't like are some times you have to park in the back and this place closes after they sell out. so you never know if it's open. read more

Since I've arrived here in Houston, I am starting to like Pho, like very much. Pho Binh is one of the best place to try the awesome taste of Pho. They have two restaurants (as far as I know) which one of the restaurant opens from morning to afternoon time and the other one opens from afternoon till midnight. read more

Looks like I've become a regular here with a handful of check ins, so I should go ahead and give them a good review. I'm not sure if they have a menu here but I've never been given one. They basically just serve pho...no spring rolls, no egg rolls, no vermicelli bowl. So if you and your group are looking for varieties on the menu, don't come here. However, if you are looking for a good bowl of pho, this is the place. Although, I have to say that I'm not as big a fan of their pho bo (beef) as I am of their pho ga kho (chicken). They have the best here! I've tried the pho ga kho at a few other noodle places on Bellaire but nothing compares. They do get quite busy here. At peak hours, you might have to wait for a table. But the service is really fast & efficient so their tables turn quickly. One of my favorite place for pho! read more

I got the dry chicken noodle which is as good as usual, except for the soup, which is so salty and too much fat. Service is ok, our waitress is nice and helpful. read more
