I was very surprise to find Spicy Beef and Noodle Soup (Bún bò Hu) here. And our waiter highly recommended this noodle soup. I went to Hu while ago, my Vietnamese friend recommended me I had to try this Bún Bò when I stayed in Hu. I did... Bún Bò Hu is very authentic, I ordered the original one, but my Vietnamese friend who came with me she ordered the one without pork blood pudding. They are very flexible, they will help you to modify the dish if you do not like the ingredients. The veggies are very fresh. I highly recommend this place, fresh, tasty and resealable price. read more

This is a really fantastic hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant! After being in Vietnam for several weeks a while back, I hadn't made the trek to get Vietnamese food since I've been stateside. However, I finally broke that record with Pho Luc Lac, and I was not disappointed. The food here is delicious! I got a large pho (it was huge portions, and I was unable to finish it all) which was really savory and had an excellent flavorful broth. The service was quick, and the prices were cheap. They do close a little earlier than other places, so be sure to check out their hours before going. read more

The broth is bland.. kind of limey tasting. The meatballs are good. Service is good and they brought my food out fast. They use white instead of red onion :( and barely any cilantro. read more

I was looking for a place to eat and saw this place. I had the Mi Quang (Vietnamese Tumeric Noodle Soup - Shrimp, pork, quail eggs, peanuts served with bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, jalapeño and lime wedges ). It was really good. Delicious. I ordered the small and couldn't eat it all. They don't skimp on the shrimp like a lot of places do. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes. read more

Pho Luc Lac - Mi Quang - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Though this Vietnamese place is not in Chinatown, their noodle bowls are amazing! I'm not Vietnamese, but the dishes seemed pretty authentic. We wanted to try something other than the typical bowl of Pho. We ordered egg rolls for appetizers, and Bun Bo Hue and Hu Tieu Nam Vang Nuoc. Bun Bo Hue is a noodles soup with mixture of beef and pork. It comes with pig blood in cube, but I wasn't daring enough, so I asked to omit it in my bowl. The broth is so rich! It is very different from Pho broth. The broth is red, so it looks spicy, but I didn't think it was spicy at all. It was still full of flavor. The noodles are a bit thicker than Pho noodles. They don't skimp on meats in the bowl. They also give you plenty of fresh veggies to add into your bowl. Hu Tieu Nam Vang Nuoc was a seafood noodle soup. Addition to squid and shrimp, they also add pig's heart. We tried it and it just tasted like pork, but leaner and chewier. The broth was clear and so were the noodles! I liked Bun Bo Hue better, but my husband liked Hu Tieu Nam Vang Nuoc better. If you are adventurous and want to try something different than Pho, I would suggest either of these bowls! Mi Quang is also a good option. We've had Mi Quang at another Vietnamese place and we liked it. This place also has many great reviews on Mi Quang! read more

Food could have been warm. Pork was room temperature and shrimp cool. Tasted ok and presentation was good. Floors were very slippery and needed a good cleaning. read more

I love this place!!! If I can give 6-10 stars I would. This place has an awesome tasting bún bò huê and I couldn't even finish the bowl. The lady who helped us was awesome and hospitality was on point. The seating area was unique and the food was served promptly. I like it here. read more

They have great food, fast service, and friendly people! This is the place to go for flavorful authentic Vietnamese food!

Some of the best Vietnamese cuisine I've had in all of the greater Houston area! My sons love their pho ga and I found their vermicelli bowl is so flavorful! read more

Came to try the Mi Quang due to all the great reviews, but was let down. Their broth was decent, on the sweet side, but everything else is a big no. Their choice of pork meat was waaaay too dry. Supposed to be pork belly but they used some sort of lean cut instead. My search for mi quang continues. The only passable place for it right now is pho duy. This is a very hole in the wall restaurant. I had already lost part of my appetite when I was told to sit at a corner table and realized I was sitting right next to a whole bunch of dead bugs in a spider web. To top off my visit, I had a Thai tea that looked very watered down and my first sip contained something clumpy. I'll pass. read more

My favorite Pho place in NW Houston hands down. Very authentic vs other Pho places in the surrounding area. Prices are great too.

Still the best Vietnamese restaurant in Spring Branch! All dishes here are authentic and delicious!! I have had the bun bo hue, the mi kho, grilled pork spring rolls, banh bot loc, banh canh... all tasty. Very friendly staff and service. I recently ordered 40 egg rolls 1 day in advance for a party and they had them ready on time, great price, and everyone loved them. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone; in Houston or just visitng! read more

Pho Luc Lac - Grilled chicken rice plate. Simple, but the chicken was very well marinated. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is the best Pho that I have had in Houston. It is a little hard to get to and hard to find since it's in a shopping center but worth it. I got the large chicken pho with white meat and the other person I was with got the seafood pho. We split the spring rolls, which were the best spring rolls that I have ever had. The chicken pho was amazing but the seafood wasn't very good (they use fake crab in it). Still gets 5 stars though because that was just a bad order. read more

Terrible. Don't waste your hard earned money on this awful restaurant. Do not get the egg rolls. Worst egg rolls I've ever had or seen. They sat in oil way to long and were chewy with zero flavor. Terrible. Pho had no flavor , noodles were cooked but sat out and hardened which made the pho worst. Chicken had cartilage chunks and was over cooked/dry. Just absolutely disgusting. read more

This place is a real hidden gem! We were enticed to try this place after seeing their outstanding Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. We come here once or twice a week now ever since our first visit. The bun bo hue and special combination pho are the best in Houston! We haven't enjoyed other pho restaurants since we discovered this gem. Their service is always professional and efficient. You can be out of this place in under half an hour satisfied and fulfilled! Not to mention, their prices are amazing. $20 can get you an order of spring rolls with two entrees! read more

Best Pho in the Memorial/SB area hands down! Place doesn't look like much from the outside, but everything I have had here is fantastic! Service is always great and the staff is super friendly. read more

Great egg rolls!! Waitress was very helpful and nice. Also, Mexican Coke is a plus :)

After church I was craving pho and I didn't want to go to the usual... but Spring Branch isn't really known for legit pho. I was delighted to find this place through Yelp, and so off we went. It was a little further than what we're used to driving for an after-church lunch, but "authentic" and "best (fill-in-the-blank) in Houston" in Yelp reviews definitely caught my attention. When hubbs and I drove into the plaza I immediately recognized it; I used to go to Royal Tapioca with some girlfriends back in college and post-college for my banh mi fix. Anyway, we walked in and the aroma of pho made us feel like this place was the real deal. When we sat down a waitress greeted us and we immediately ordered the barbecue pork spring rolls before we could decide what we wanted for lunch. After a few minutes, our waitress got our order: I got a beef pho with fatty brisket, brisket and flank, and hubbs got the #1. Shortly after, we got our spring rolls. The skins were still warm and chewy, like they had just made them. They were really big with a generous amount of meat, and the sauce was even still warm, with a good creamy peanuty flavor. Definitely 5 stars for the spring rolls alone. After a while we got our pho. When I first tasted the broth, it tasted clean, and I could taste bone. But when I ate it with the noodles and meat, it was a little bland, so I had to add some salt. But as I continued to eat, the broth was more and more flavorful... not too overpowering, but clean, like as if I was eating homemade pho at someone's house. Overall, a very solid experience. It's a shame it's kinda far with only residential roads to get to it, but I would definitely come back and try the vermicelli and bo luc lac, and if I'm feeling adventurous, the other dishes whose names I'm not familiar with :) read more

Amaizing family own little Restaurant. The owner is very sweet. She is always very attentive and remember our likes and dislikes.

Came in for a pick up order for lunch after reading all of the good reviews. Friendly service, was acknowledged the moment I stepped in. Fast preparation, I don't think I waited 10 minutes for my order. Great presentation, I like pretty food. Spring rolls were really good with that sauce they serve it with...bland and unsavory workout it. Vermecelli with shrimp and chicken was great but next time I'll eat in. By the time I got back to my office, it was room temp. Hate the bean sprouts. Unless you fry them to hell and back, they're like eating lawn grass. If you ask me they take away from the dish but oh well. Over all, I enjoyed my lunch and will try this place again. read more

This place is legit let me tell you. Service was spot on, I've been there 3 times with my friend and the lady (might be the owner of the place) already knew our preferences! The meat in the pho was tender and juicy,... Broth itself was full of flavor. I like the texture of the clear noodle, not too chewy but refreshing! Their artichoke tea and mung bean were also very good, and not too sweet. The price is on the cheap side with the quality you get. If I could give 10 stars rating for this place, I would! another note : their banh bot loc is ma may zing!!! read more

I've been feeling under the weather recently and Pho always makes me feel better. I came here for lunch. A large bowl for $7? Score. $2 for extra meat? I'll take it. The broth was light and had a little of a citrus taste to it. Noodles were thin and soft. It felt like I ordered extra noodles too since there was plenty in there. read more

Lost count of how many times I've eaten here. The food is always good and I have yet to be disappointed. Authentic Vietnamese- fresh and tastes like the stuff I grew up eating at home. No glitz and glamor but it always hits the spot. Yum! Only downside- I got off work late sometimes and I want to stop in but they're usually closed by then (about 9:30/9:45pm. Most places Asian restaurants are closed by then but this is the only place I want food from!). It's one of my favorite Vietnamese food stops. read more

I'm sorry to say maybe this is considered to be good in this area but the food is just so so to me. Maybe it might be the demographics but again not to sound too harsh the flavoring is lacking big time for the pho. The don't even have dipping dishes for the meats. The recommended the mi quang which we also ordered and the dish itself should not be flooded with broth. This dish is meant to have very little soup which made it into a totally different experience than what I'm used to. The typical veggie addons like banana blossoms were not served, perhaps it had to do with the demographics again. :\ read more

Wow! The service was so nice and attentive. The pho broth was so rich and flavorful. I had the bun bo hue which was perfect. They add a lot of meat to it so it is definitely a good deal for the price of a large bowl! I will be back to try more food from here. read more

This place has some of the best Pho around and best prices. I have also tried the rice vermicelli and the spring rolls. All very good. I wish they were open a little later, but I usually grab a to-go order around 6:45 before they close and it works out. read more

Very very delicious food here. This place doesn't look like much on the outside, and isn't fancy on the inside.... but wow, the food is amazing. I had the spring rolls when I came and a bahn mi. Both were delicious. My husband had a pho, and he loved it as well, the service was also fantastic. Their price point is pretty standard and I think it's extremely fair considering the quality of food. If you are looking for good pho or a good bahn mi come check this place out. read more

That food was delicious! I had 2 chicken spring rolls which were marinated so well and the chicken was not dry, which I have encountered at other places, and the peanut sauce was quite good as well. They have this oil on the table that has toasted chili flakes in it. Those chilis give it such a unique and delightful flavor :) Then I had the bo luc lac. It's beef tenderloin that is sautéed with onions. You also get carrots, cucumber, and lettuce with the order. I chose the fried rice option but was too stuffed to finish it. The waitress said next time I can opt out of the rice and just get extra veggies which is awesome because that's what I wanted to do initially. I will definitely be back!! read more

Service was friendly and prompt. Location is a bit ghetto, but there's plenty of parking. Spring rolls with shrimp | good size. Freshly made. Fresh tasting shrimp. My only complaint is the peanut sauce. A little bland and thin peanut sauce for my taste. 3/5 Bun rue oc | light in flavor. Some added fish sauce can customize it to your palate. I liked it but didn't love it. Know that there are snails in this dish if that's something that concerns you. They're mostly flavorless, but add a chewy texture to the bites. 3/5. Homemade soy milk drink | not bad. A bit sweet and a little chalky, so not for me. But not bad. Personally, wouldn't order again. Steamed rice with grilled pork | pork was seasoned well. Huge portion. 4/5 Overall, I thought the experience was a solid "okay, not bad". Would come here again if friends wanted to but wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more
