    Pho
    Christine C.

    Pho dien was good! One start off for the soup. I do feel it was better the first time we went here. Could be an off day. Soup was still solid though. Don't get me wrong. The best part was the meaty quality. Meat was very tender and not chewy so they def have a good cut or it's fresh.

    I will drive 40 minutes to have pho in the morning here! That says alot its so fresh and so good! It does get packed here and there but that just goes to show theyre doing something right! The portions are huge and the staff are cool people!

    Service was great - attentive, helpful, and friendly. Parking isn't too bad because it's in a small plaza. However, pho broth could be more flavorful and rich. Note that there may be homeless who might come in and stop by your table.

    Hands down the best pho--service is fast and the staff is consistently so kind and welcoming!

    We had a meal here. Food very good. Highly recommend. We had pho, vermicelli, spring rolls or egg rolls and strawberry banana smoothie. Very nice experience. Good number of people. Pleasant noise level. Not loud. Excellent customer service. Staff very nice. Gracious

    This time around, I got to meet the owner and I wish I hadn't... I got to the restaurant, having driven 45 minutes just for this chili oil. (Needless to say, yes, its worth it, and yes, it's that good.) I went to the counter and let the owner know that I'd like to purchase a container of chili oil. She confirms the order, I nod, then excused myself to the bathroom. When I came back to the counter, another worker asked me what I needed and I told him I was waiting for the chili oil. When the owner came out of the kitchen, the server asked her in Vietnamese if she had gotten the chili oil yet. She replies "Why would I make it for that girl when she hasn't even paid yet?" She walked over to me, closed me out at $10... then turned to the worker and spoke in Vietnamese again to say "Tell her she's going to have to wait." I was shocked by the stark contrast of the attitude and customer service that she gave in comparison to her husband. First of all, I'm Vietnamese, I can understand you, there's no need for that. Secondly, and this is what kills me, she didn't think I was good for... a whopping $10. I kept in mind that it took time to prepare the chili oil from my last purchase. Hence why I placed the order first, then excused myself to the bathroom. At this restaurant, the food is served first. After the patron is done, they pay out later. I don't understand why it was such a big deal to prepare the order first while I excused myself for a couple minutes. I also didn't understand why the owner seemed so irritable throughout this interaction. Maybe she was having a bad day, who knows? Either way, I have to admit this experience has tainted my excitement for this restaurant.

    This place has really good Pho. I have been going there regularly 1to 2xs a week for quite some time. Lately they've been skimping on the beef in the pho! After today's order, I will no longer give them my money. When I got my order home today, this is what I got for $20.00! I feel ripped off. I will have to go to this other Pho establishment on the NW side (Pho Viet Tastes) where I get 3 times the amount of meat for the same price.

    I love Phò for breakfast. Phò Dien is open by 9am perfect time to fill that belly with some rich broth. The service was friendly and the Phò was pretty good. I even took another order to go. The iced coffee was great too. Sometimes it's too sweet but Phò Dien 1960 gets it right. My only complaint was the TV wasn't on so I kinda just stared at the walls or staff while waiting.

    Short and simple: this is my all time favorite Vietnamese spot! Speedy service and a great selection of food and drink. I'm always satisfied when leaving this establishment, you have a lifetime customer!

    Very friendly sweet staff but pho was only ok, a tad bland not super Viet authentic. Overpriced too: $19ish before tax and tip!!

    This is my favorite Pho spot in all of Houston and trust me I've tried many spots. Fresh ingredients and flavorful broth.

    This Pho tastes just like home. Authentic, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

After being seated, we waited approximately 18 minutes without anyone approaching our table. No one came by to take our drink order, introduce themselves as our server, or even check in with us. The restaurant did not appear busy at the time--there were only a handful of other customers--so it was difficult to understand why our table was completely overlooked. There were only three of us, and after waiting nearly 20 minutes without any acknowledgment, we ultimately decided to get up and leave. It was especially disappointing because we were genuinely excited to try this place. We've been looking for a new ramen spot, and finding one so close to home seemed perfect. Unfortunately, we never even had the opportunity to try the food because of the lack of service. Hopefully this was an isolated issue, but our first experience was very disappointing.

    My favorite place for Peking duck around the Houston area. It's a little farther out, but I usually…read morestop by whenever I'm driving to or from AIH. The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward. It's simple, hearty, and especially good on a colder day. I've tried several other dishes here, and they've all been solid and remind me of the Chinese food I grew up eating. The servers have always been attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is spacious, so it's a good spot for family dinners or larger groups.

    Where to begin? We stood a bit by the door waiting to be seated. Idk if they're short staffed or…read morethat's their reg staff. Which is wild cus they were running around that place nonstop. When we finally got seated we weren't asked What would you like to drink or this is our drink menu. It was-Water,right,right,Ok brb. So we had water just like the rest of the people in there. Also weird how they don't have any drinks on the menu or let you know about options. Could I have asked for something else? Sure but again waitresses were just all over the place it was crazy. When we ordered and others food was coming out we realized what big portions they give you. BTW just 'cus it's big portions doesn't mean This food is about to be the best Ive ever had. The food- We got some shrimp plate and we were told it was spicy because it has peppers and peppercorns which would numb your tongue which it was just basic shrimp dish. Only good or cool part of it was eating lotus root which Ive never had before. We also ordered the "special" house beef noodles and I don't see the hype or why they're so special. The only crazy part was the noodles length. Which honestly made it hard to eat. We ordered the duck which came with the soup. The soup was made from scraps. I think if they had added more duck and not just scraps it would be my fav thing of everything we ordered. Will say it tasted like chicken soup. For the duck. It wasn't as crispy as people made it seem to be. I expect idk a more gamey flavor to it and all I kept saying is-This taste like pork carnitas. Idk why we got treated than the table behind us. We asked for to go just like they do but they just gave them their to-go plates like Here ya go and they put all of our food in our to-go for us. Would I go back? Its one of those you say- Ok I've had it,had the duck,don't get the hype but ok not worth coming back again for more.
