    19. Spring Roll (2 per order)
    Jennifer L.

    This is a great lunch spot. The food is delicious and cooked to order. I frequent here for lunch to go and sit down. Either way they take care of you and you get satisfaction

    This place is Incredible. I travel the country for work and always look forward to houston. I have ate here every night for the past 5 nights lol i can't get enough. Made fresh to order and the service is fantastic and fast

    Me, my wife and my sister decided to try Pho Houston for lunch. Once we entered. Staff were extremely efficient with seating us although the staff was efficient I will say I didn't feel a nice welcoming and also while ordering I felt rushed and kind of like a nuisance. The atmosphere felt nice music placed and the smell of pho was in the air. Pho Houston had many options from sandwiches ,pho rice, and protein, platters, and lots of appetizers, including spring rolls and egg rolls. I ordered a large chicken for a beef Bahn mi a pork Bahn mi and a shrimp vermicelli bowl that came with an egg-roll. Starting with the chicken pho the broth was extremely rich, but had an over powering flavor of ginger which hindered the the rest of the flavor the broth had to offer the chicken didn't seem to be breast but rather than thighs that were inside the pho which different from pho I had previously even though the chicken had an amazing flavor and the broth and chicken paired nicely together. Moving on to my beef. Bahn mi which was extremely pleasing the meat was cooked to perfection and had a touch of sweetness that was balanced out by the savoriness of the marinate that it was placed in before being cooked the pickled Daikon and carrots mixed with the jalapeños and cilantro that were also in the sandwich, elevated the sandwich to a whole Nother level. The bread was also extremely fluffy yet crisp on the outside, allow for a Crunch for every bite. The pork Bahn mi was even better. The pork was seasoned so well and so tender and salty the toppings balanced the savory mess of the pork bahn mi quite well. And finally the shrimp vermicelli bowl which was my favorite the noodles and vegetables were so fresh which paired extremely well with the shrimps the shrimp was very fresh as well and tased quite nice and to top it all off an egg roll was also served with the bowl it was piping hot and so crunchy yet soft and the filling on the inside was seasons quite well and tasted fresh a sauce was also paired with it which went quite nicely it was sweet and balanced the egg roll really well. Inside there was also other customers and it was pretty packed for lunch time. That being said I believe that Pho Houston is a pretty busy during lunch. All and all I will say that pho Houston was a pleasure to visit. I also want to highlight the Vietnamese coffee which was extremely delightful. It tasted like a Hershey's bar had met coffee beans and the consistency was very smooth almost like chocolate milk. This coffee was definitely the best part of pho Houston and we will definitely be back.

    Burnt pieces in grill beef

    Order 3 x Grill Beef. 1/3 of the meat was burnt. Also spend half an hour picking out the burnt pieces out of the meat. The meat was full of these stuff, which tastes just like burnt charcoal. And I'm certain will cause cancer. My mom said this is caused by chef not cleaning the pot between dishes.

    12. Vietnamese Sandwich and Vietnamese ice coffee. Great combination!
    SD M.

    Been here now 4x in the last 1 1/2 week... Everything that I've had here so far, are excellent. Growing up close to "little Saigon" in Orange County, Ca. I'm spoiled in having vietnamese restaurants/cafe, everywhere and did I mention that we have places there that are 24/7! Lol From pho, vermicelli plate, fried rice to my fave, Vietnamese sandwich. They were ALL good(to my opinion) my weight will attest to this,

    Shaken beef,fried rice

    The service and food is always amazing when I come to this restaurant! The staff is friendly and the food comes out fast

    Pork eggrolls are delicious!
    Christina J.

    Wow! This place is really awesome! First, I appreciate the early hours, I usually eat lunch at 10 due to my early working hours. So the hours are much appreciated. I ordered the eggrolls which I ate every single one. They were pork, which was even better. A lot of places add shrimp to their eggroll mix, I can't have shrimp so this was a great surprise. Next, I custom ordered a bowl of Pho, instead of the reg meat I ordered grilled beef and it was excellent!!! Everything about my experience today was great. Thanks to all the staff, keep up the great work!!

    Extra large Steak pho
    Luis C.

    This is located only 5 mins from my job, and I found it through reading Yelp reviews. My fellow reviewers were completely correct as the pho is delicious and plentiful, service is very nice, there's plenty of parking on the back, and the food comes out quickly after you order which is important when you have to get back to work. I've paid more for phos of lesser quality at many places so cheers to this amazing place and the nice family running it. The broth is splendid and flavorful, the beef is tender and non fatty, and the noodles are on point. The XL bowl is huge and at $14 is more than fair. Add a soda for $1.50, and you have a filling meal for the whole day. Do yourself a favor and go there today

    Amazing food and service. The portions are huge and the meat was so juicy and tender. The restaurant is also very clean and inviting

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

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.

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!

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.

Multiple tables that were seated after us were greeted, had their orders taken, and were served while our table was never acknowledged. My family is Vietnamese, but I am not, and I couldn't help but wonder if favoritism played a role in how tables were treated. After waiting an hour without anyone taking our order--or even offering us water--we finally left. What made it even more frustrating was that we had two toddlers with us who were incredibly patient the entire time. Despite seeing us sitting there for so long, the staff made no effort to check on us or even acknowledge our presence. The food has always been worth coming back for, but the complete lack of service on this visit was unacceptable.
