    A2. Shrimp Spring Rolls A8. Dumpling, vegetable
    Rene M.

    I decided to try this little place close to my home. I was pleasantly surprised! I had shrimp spring rolls, pan fried veggie dumplings, and vermicelli with chargrilled shrimp. I ordered take out so I'm not sure about the inside but I did have special requests to add bean sprouts and they accommodated me happily. First of all, those veggie pan fried dumplings were delicious. Like I even gasped a bit!! Then I tried the shrimp spring rolls and I might have moaned a little. The spring rolls tasted fresh and the noodles were cooked correctly. The vermicelli was also very good. The vegetables were fresh and crispy and the noodles were cooked well. They added bean sprouts to mine on request, which in my opinion, was a great texture addition. I will go back for sure!

    This place was decent for where it was located. I ordered the Thai tea, wonton and bbq pork soup and a banh mi. Thai tea: 5/5 it was delicious and perfectly made. Wonton and BBQ pork Soup: 3/5, the wonton tasted like old meat but the broth was flavorful but lacked depth. Overall, it was decent. Banh mi: 3/5 it was good, bread was soft could be crunchier. Little to no meat. It had like 5 pieces of meat in it. Overall, I'd come back because it's a decent place for its location and can satisfy a need for soup.

    A4. Grilled Pork Spring Rolls

    I really wanted some pho and this place is close to my house. It was a cold Thursday night when me and the hubby rolled in. It was moderately busy but there was a late dinner rush after we arrived, somewhere around 7:15 pm. The dining area is pretty large with many tables and some booths (?) along the walls. A large flatscreen television was playing women's basketball. We were told to take any seat we wanted, so we sat at Table 6. I hadn't had food all day so I was starving. We were brought two laminated menus and given some time to look them over. We ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls, as well as some crispy, pork-filled egg rolls. Hubby thought the spring rolls were a little loose and prone to falling apart, but I didn't have the same issue. I thought everything was great. The dipping sauces that came with the appetizers was also delicious. They served the peanut sauce warm. I nibbled some of the shredded carrot garnish and was pleased to learn it was pickled! We were given complimentary glasses of water, but we both opted for milk tea. I got taro, the hubby got coconut. My drink was tasty enough, but the powdered flavoring that was used kept collecting on the bottom of my plastic cup and I had to frequently stir it up. Not a deal breaker, just a note. I ordered a large bowl of the classic Pho Central soup with all the fixings: steak, meatballs, tripe, and tendon. I was very excited that they had this on the menu. Most pho places I've looked up don't seem to want to offer tripe or tendon, both of which are favorites of mine. The hubby got a large pho with just steak. We were brought a generous plate of basil, fresh sliced jalapeños, mung bean sprouts, and juicy lime wedges. I have to say, this was the best pho I've discovered since moving here at the beginning of the pandemic. It was flavorful and the meat portions were good. I was very happy that they gave me so much tendon! (Some places can be stingy with it.) I suddenly noticed that the restaurant had emptied out, and it was then I realized they'd closed. (I thought they were open until 9 pm, but it was actually 8.) However, no one came over to hurry us. They let us finish eating in peace. (We were almost done anyway.) We apologized for holding them up, quickly paid, and left. Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable experience, and I'm looking forward to returning sometime in the near future!

    Wow! My friend and I came to eat during our lunch break, and were nicely surprised. The ambiance was chill, with booths and tables to sit at. The waitress dropped off our menus and then quickly took our orders. The food arrived within ten minutes, and may I say it was DELICIOUS. We both had brisket pho with chicken spring rolls and regular shrimp spring rolls. We're very picky about the pho we eat and this one surpassed the standards. We'll be back!!!

    The food and bubble tea/smoothies here are good. They have a great variety of items on the menu. I tried the taro smoothie with lychee jelly ($4) and it was sweet and delicious! The $4.75 traditional Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich) was small, but had good flavors. The fresh jalapenos in it were nice and spicy. The $8.50 chargrilled shrimp, chicken and egg roll dish was tasty and filling. Service was good and there are plenty of seating inside. Every Saturday, kids (10 and under) eat free with a purchase of 1 adult meal. There are 4 different options on the kids menu. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; . ( ` - ` - ' - ' ' - - - ' ' ( _ / . _ ) - ' ( _ \ _ ) 2020

    A good friend of mine told me about this place so I decided to stop on in. Walked and had the pick of the litter on where to sit; so to speak. I was greeted before walking in the door. I sat down and ordered my shrimp Vietnamese spring rolls. I went and washed my hands and the rolls were on Meeting me back at my table; And they were very good. They were thinly wrapped which was great-I had the opportunity to really enjoy the taste of them with my fish sauce. 2-3 minutes later my main dish was joining the table. I must say the Pho Ga was what I needed it really hit the spot. Oh did I say that it was good. There was so much chicken in my bowl. Great staff, clean resturant (including restrooms), quick & efficient service with good tasting food. And NO FLIES!!!! 5

    WOW! Is what I have to say about Pho Central. Great place the staff is awesome and very friendly. Now as for the food, man this place is a MUST come to. The food is equally as awesome as the staff. I have eaten lunch here everyday for the past week. I love this place

    Love love love this restaurant. Very clean and very fast service typically. Spring rolls and pho are incredible and fresh as are their rice and vermicelli dishes. Always a steady crowd coming in and out. I also really enjoy their vegetarian options as a meat eater. The lemongrass tofu is really good.

    We drive from Pearland to eat here. It's very good. Everything is so fresh. Can't go wrong. The owners and staff are very friendly. Very clean, also. They even welcomed our high school tennis team after a tournament. Great place!!

    When you need your Pho fix and you're away from home... Yelp your around the area and look for good…read moreto great reviews... That's true because sometimes you have to read the fine print as to why someone might give a 3 vs a 4 or 5... Pho Barr is nothing on the outside, standard windows, small but inside there is some magic going on... The smell hits you as soon as you open the door... Umami, garlic, teriyaki, beef... Your mouth is watering for one or all of the ingredients... I went straight to the pho options and picked my favorite... Spicy Tonkatsu with Black Garlic... It had pieces of chashu (large) on the top with plenty of fresh veggies... The noodles tasted fresh with the perfect chew... The broth was delicious!!! Give them try for your next pho fix!!

    DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!! I don't care where you live in Houston this place is FIREEEEE!!!…read moreI've been cravings soup and wontons and all the things and this place had a menu full of options for everyone! I wanted to order 4 more things but it was a solo lunch and I was on a time crunch... Food was 10 stars!! It came out fast and hot hot hot... fairly priced and the portions were enough for 2! The service was wonderful and as a first timer, the service was helpful too!! I really appreciate help and a friendly attitude when Im a newbie!! Totally impressed and wanna try the Orange Chicken, Shu mai, and Dry Popcorn Chicken (can't remember exact name but it looked AMAZING) GET HERE Now y'all!!
