The pho was spot on for depth and flavor of the broth. The spring rolls and egg rolls were amazing...and that peanut sauce is the only one I've ever liked! They're accommodating to allergies and special requests. They are friendly and attentive. The place is clean yet simple. Prices are also very fair. Wish we lived close, this is the real deal. Authentic. read more

Pho Tai is one of our favorite pho places in Texas. We love coming to visit when we are in Galveston. Don't judge the book by the cover definitely applies here. The outside is rough but the restaurant is super clean and despite other reviews we have never experience a sewer smell. The pho is so delicious, the broth is my favorite. We love pho and have it often and never have been disappointed here. The spring rolls are always fresh. Service is good for a Pho restaurant. read more

Food was amazing! This was some authentic Vietnamese food for a great price range. The service is fast and the waitress was super nice. This is our second visit to Texas and this place is a little hidden gem in this town. The outside can be hard to miss driving and the place outside needs some work but the ambiance inside is family friendly. read more

Surprisingly great pho in Galveston! I knew right away from the old Vietnamese asian interior of the restaurant that I was about to eat some good pho. The service was quick, you could easily tell it's family owned. I usually get the Brisket Pho at all places and I could say that the brisket here is tender and fatty! I have had bad brisket from pho places in Houston so this is surprising to say. The broth was hearty, warm, and meaty you can tell how long it has been cooking. I also got another dish, shaking beef but I would not recommend it at all as it was chewy and the rice was not broken like usual. The Pho is definitely the star and I would stick to that. Overall, 7.5/10. read more

My favorite place for pho on the island. It's easy to miss when you're driving along broadway and the outside looks very unassuming. Rest assured that the food speaks way louder than the appearance (as with most restaurants that serve high quality pho). I always get the Pho Dac Biet because I like a bit of everything, but you really can't go wrong with any of the pho options. A+ for nailing the broth down in terms of saltiness and temperature. If you're feeling a dry dish, I recommend the pork banh mi as well! Staff is cordial if you decide to spark up a conversation but will otherwise keep to themselves at the cashier. read more

On our way out of Galveston we decided to try a Pho place. The kiddos were excited. When we asked the waiter what he'd recommend he said "Depends on what you want to eat." We chuckled... but then realized he wasn't going to give us any inside scoop... so we went with our gut. One kiddo got the Banh Mi and enjoyed it. The other got the pork vermicelli bowl and found it good... albeit not very flavorful. My wife and I split egg rolls and a beef vermicelli and had about the same experience. We either didn't order the right thing for this restaurant or... they're just OK. I'm glad we tried it, and if I was a local I'd probably visit it every few months... but we likely won't be back. read more

Best traditional Vietnamese food in Galveston hands down! No frills, quick service. Always a great stop on the way home for take out or a casual lunch with friends. Prices are very reasonable and food is flavorful. Only wish the hours were open longer as I'm always craving pho tai when they happen to be closed. read more

Pho Tai - Pork Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Best vietnamese restaurant on the island! There's several viet restaurants, but this one never disappoints. I've been for lunch and dinner, and I particularly like their banh mis and vermicelli bowls. You order at the register and they will bring the food to your table. At the end, you pay at the register. The vermicelli bowl I ordered was huge! Generous portions of meat, veggies, noodles, and peanuts. Sauces are on the table along with utensils. Lots of indoor seating. Very casual and has a home like feel. Very quiet and lots of natural light with large windows. Parking can be hard if it gets busy, but there is a small lot in the back, as well as free side street parking. Employees are nice too! read more

It is a small shop with good food but questionable service. The problem was a communication barrier I think. The food was good enough.

Always consistent and delicious! Go frequently lovely family! Service is amazing ! ........

Vietnamese on Broadway. Good pho, good banh mi. Building is tired but clean. Parking in the back.

Best Vietnamese food I've ever had. The service is always awesome. The ambience is hole in the wall, which is my favorite kind of place.

Holy heck, this place is amazing! They easily have the best pho I've had in ages, and the spring rolls and Bahn Mi were outstanding too

Local family owned spot for some of my favorite pho in town. Did the vermicelli bowl this time with all the proteins. Only downside is one shrimp. I think they used to put 3 on them, but it's been awhile. Must add the fish sauce that comes with it. You're missing out if your don't mix it in. Would probably do the order that has two proteins next time so you get a better portion of each. read more

Pho Tai - Vermicelli bowl (all the protein) - Vietnamese Near Me - Galveston, Texas

A Little blue restaurant on Broadway, one of our main roads in Galveston, that packs a punch. I went on a mother daughter date at my daughters suggestion. We ordered Thai tea with boba and it was strong and delicious. Their boba is good and creamy. We both ordered the vermicelli with shrimp and chicken which is a huge portion and every is cooked to perfection. I ordered a pork banh mi sandwich which I have never had before and oh my goshhhh it was so good. The sub bread is crunchy on the outside but chewy and soft on the inside. The pork is perfectly cooked and seasoned. Crunchy greens, carrots, cucumber, and jalapeños make for the best sandwich. read more

Great takeout from Pho Tai tonight! Food was hot and fresh when we got home and the eggrolls had a great crunch to them still. Egg rolls were crispy and the pork in them was so flavorful. I got the beef fried rice and loved it. Best I've tried on the island. Rice had a good amount of sweetness to it if you're looking for that Viet/Thai style fried rice. Husband got the seafood Pho and said it was really good. Broth had good umami flavor but could even do with more of kick. Overall, our new favorite Asian takeout spot on the island! read more

Looking for some good Asian food in Galveston is hard to come by. However I would say this one is pretty decent. Although the exterior looks closed, the interior has a homey feel. The staff greeted us and welcome us to choose any table we wanted to sit at. The pho is pretty good. My friend go their A1 which is basically like their combination pho. And I got their b2 (I think) which was basically their vermicelli noodles with grilled pork. Both were pretty yummy. read more

Vietnamese pho is truly comfort food. The times I really enjoy it is when it's cold out or the day after a heavy night of drinking

Pho Tai - House Special Combination (Pho Dac Biet) - Vietnamese Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This is my favorite pho spot on the island. There aren't many, but I always go straight here when I'm craving pho and I've always left satisfied. Pho broth tastes very homemade and they have a good selection of meats to add. Reasonably priced for the area. I also appreciate their to-go packaging and have ordered take out pho many times I haven't had as much chance to try their other dishes but the vermicelli is pretty standard and definitely solves any craving I have for Vietnamese food when I can't go off-island . read more

That was a missed jewel. Tried it and was great food. Portions so large we made two meals out of order. We will definitely go back!

My daughter and i go here a lot and pretty much every time get the vegetable pho. It is the best on the island. Service is super quick. And i know it doesn't look much from the outside but the food is amazing! read more

We were in Galveston for the weekend, decided to grab some Vietnamese food for dinner. We yelped and found 3 restaurants, decided to give pho tai a try. Clean, quaint place with few tables. You seat yourself as typical of viet restaurant. We ordered pho ga (chicken), pho tai bo vien (thin rare beef with beef meatballs), and hubby had the bun (rice vermicelli) with shrimp and chicken. The pho is pretty good. Broth fragrant and came out hot as it should. I'm viet so base a good viet restaurant by its pho broth. We also had chicken spring rolls and fried egg rolls. All decent. I saw a lot of takeout so this place seems favorable by the locals. Would come back next time we're in Galveston. read more

We never visit Galveston without eating at Pho Tai! We are five hours away and I would almost drive there just for the amazing food!

The food was pretty good, but they overcharged us and added an automatic $15 ($14.89) tip to the total. The receipt was not itemized, so I couldn't figure out what all the rest of the charges were. We felt ripped off. read more
