Pho Thy used to be my favorite pho place where I used to live. I had gone a few more times when visiting my parents, but it wasn't the same. I found out that Kelly is no longer the owner. I immediately confirmed that based on the quality of the food. The broth was bland, the rare steak is no longer the marinated filet with the flavor of lemongrass. It's just plain slices of rare eye of round beef like most typical pho places. The spring rolls were lower quality compared to Kelly's. It was the same for the Vietnamese Egg Rolls. It's unfortunate they didn't inherit the quality and flavors of the original Pho Thy. I think a better option would be Pho Vi-Vi. read more

Went to pho thy. Bf got a Pho Ga and I got the Special Pho. Both of us thought our broths were very flavorful and delicious. We both really enjoyed it. He said they have more chicken than some of the other places he been too and it tastes amazing. The viet coffee was pretty good as well, it was strong and more on the bitter side. The tables had lots of random cracks in it and the place definitely looked a little old. read more

My favorite place for a combination pho and a Vietnamese iced coffee!! I normally place the order on the phone and it's ready in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes there's a little language barrier on the phone, but I have never been given the wrong order. On a side note; this restaurant seems to be a family owned restaurant. I love walking in to pick up my food and it's like walking into a family meeting. Staff is always so friendly. read more

Honestly my go to spot for pho near home. I absolutely love the broth. Something about it always makes me feel absolutely better. It helps that it's also so tasty. I'm rounding up the numbers but $12 bucks for a small bowl of pho, but I usually get the combo which comes with a drink and 2 delicious egg rolls or spring rolls for $15. Those egg rolls are big and extremely flavorful. It has a good crunch to it. And the sauce youdip it in? SPICY, If you love spicy it's fantastic. It's a pretty quiet restaurant. Never too noisy. Stop by for sure to enjoy their delicious food. read more

Been coming here more frequently since Pho Binh's closure. Pho Thy is located in the same strip mall with Ben Thanh Food Market and Family Dollar on the corner of Fuqua and Sabo. They have started serving pho with fresh rice noodle but today I wanted to try one of their less known dish on the recommendation of the waiter. Bun Bo Hue has a distinct flavor that's can probably be described as pho's sexy cousin. They executed the Bun Bo Hue very well here. Great balance of sweet and umami flavors that's created by the fermented shrimp paste. The restaurant do get crowded on the weekends but during the week you never have to wait for a table and the food will come to the table faster than a cheeseburger at McDonald's. read more

We've been here many times, and long story short: it's good quality pho for a decent price. Their portions are generous. $7 for small, $8 for large, and $9 for XL. They give a lot of vermicelli & meat for the cost. Broth is hearty. I always get the large pho tai. After going to mediocre pho places with small portions at an astronomical price, this was refreshing. Service is as expected, not super personable but gets the job done. Bathrooms smell really strange and this place really lacks cleanliness, as many other authentic Vietnamese restaurants do. If you're able to overlook this, you'll enjoy your dining experience. 1 star off for a disappointing experience we've had coming here during our last visit. The place closes at 8 PM on Sundays. We drove nearly an hour with my grandma, arriving at 7:30. When we came in, they refused to serve us and said the kitchen had been closed down for the evening. They couldn't make any exception. While we respect that the employees wanted to go home, it was very frustrating not knowing they'd close down so soon, and 30 minutes is really early to have closed the place down, leaving our elderly grandma hungry and confused. read more

Why did it take me this long to write a review for Phở Thy? This has been my family's go-to phở spot for years. We honestly don't get our phở elsewhere. We always order their phở and can I say, it's the hands-down best damn bowl in town! When they bring it out of the kitchen, it's visually stunning. The broth isn't covered with a floating layer of beef fat compared to other places, and the smell is so inviting. You can tell they've been cooking this broth for hours. Another plus is that the bowl comes out piping hot. I recommend tasting a sip of the broth before you add anything. It's so rich, pure, and hearty. Honestly, we usually eat without any additional condiments because it's that good on its own. But you can add hoisin sauce, sriracha, and lime to enhance the flavors. I usually order the đặc biệt or special combo, which has all of the beef cuts. My favorites are the flank and filet mignon. They're so tender that they almost melt in your mouth. For your vegetables, my mom always orders the bean sprouts steamed and the vinegared onions. Trust me. Overall, for the price and value, I highly recommend this place to anyone willing to make the drive to Phở Thy. read more

Omg what a hidden hole in the wall for pho! By far my favorite pho place now. Where have you been? I ordered the pho tai gan and it was delicious! The soup base did not need anything added to it. It was the perfect savory broth that warms your heart and soul. The meat omgggg! You can tell it was made with love; im guess it was crafted with salt and pepper and maybe lime was added. It was well beaten because the meat was soft and it breaks apart so easily. It goes great with the pho. One down side was I had a lot of noodles in my bowl though. I was too full to eat all the noodles. If they had added less noddles it would make me crave for more. But overall it was worth the drive for me. I live 45 mins away. The place does not smell great when you enter, but don't let that make you run. The pho is worth it!!! My husband and son also killed their pho. The service was quick too. We were surprised that the pho came out fast. We literally just placed an order too. read more

Let me start by saying I'm not a pho kinda guy. So I did not order the PHO. I had the grilled beef with steamed rice and a fries egg on the side. It was a tasty and well portioned dish. 8/10 for flavor. It's not the best I've had but it's seems authentic and very affordable. I went with a large group of co-workers, about 12 of us. Most of them had the pho, it's served in very large bowls. They seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed their meals. It's a very casual restaurant, not the cleanest, not the newest, but it has a steady stream of diners come through while we were there. The wait staff was friendly but did have a little problem taking our orders, good thing we had two Vietnamese speakers dining with us. If ever I'm in the mood for some Vietnamese style food I will consider stopping by there again. read more

Came here based on my date's recommendation. This is probably hands down my favorite pho place near my area. The broth is so rich and light, the meat was tender, the noodles cooked perfectly; it was just a sweet melody of flavors that graced my palate. It's a rather small place and I would not have expected to come in here if I had just seen it in passing. It's a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I honestly didn't think that it would end up being as busy as it was, but it was. The only thing is the ratio of noodles to meat was a bit off. There was more meat than there were noodles, not that that bothered me too much, but I would have enjoyed more noodles with every bite of meat. Overall, I do have to say that this place has the best pho around. I would definitely recommend this place to any fellow pho lovers and I plan on coming back for sure. read more

This could possibly be the best pho I've ever had. It is a hole in the wall type of place but don't let it fool you! I've recommended many friends because it's that great! Their brother is so flavorful and savory that you really don't need to add much. They are also very generous with their meat portions. MUST TRY: Vietnamese iced coffee - I personally think it's the best that I have had! It is a little thick so take that in mind but I personally have no complaints.

I have been contemplating the move to SE Houston. My fiancee and I have been house searching and this area seems to be the most affordable right now. As we are searching we have been getting hungry! One of the stops we have been able to visit is this Pho restaurant. Their broth is actually quite solid and their tai (raw beef) is seasoned well. Some places just give you unflavored beef here it is marinated and tenderized. The service can be spotty depending on when you come. It seems to be the best in the area. It's not on the same level as Bellaire, but I never knew there was a small pocket of Vietnamese restaurants in this area. read more

Xeo Yum is a Vietnamese eatery located in a food hall in Midtown. They are known for their bánh…read morexèo, which is a crispy Vietnamese crepe/pancake. 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!

Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. 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.

Food: 4.9/5 Service: 4.6/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.7/5 I really enjoyed myself here. I don't think I've ever consumed so much shrimp paste in my life, so if you don't like that flavor you probably wanna go elsewhere, but other than that everything was just really comforting and nice to eat. My least favorite of what we got was the Banh Bot Chien, and even that was still really good and had a nice crunch. Everything else we ordered was all really authentic and very forward with flavor. The restaurant was incredibly busy on the Saturday we went, with the bustling lunch crowd of both large families and old couples filling up the entire restaurant, so try to go at an off-hour where most people aren't eating. It was just an incredible experience that I 100% recommend to anyone wanting authentic Vietnamese food.

Com Nieu Houston is probably one of the best in the Houston area when it comes to authentic…read moreVietnamese food. 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.

My god. This place was spectacular. We randomly came across this restaurant on a whim and had no…read moreidea that this was a michelin recognized spot. But after eating here, I understand why. I never had central vietnamese food before and never heard of most of these dishes. We saw that everyone was getting the three appetizer platter, bun bo hue, and had to try it. I also got the chicken vermicelli just as a classic. But every single item in the bun bo hue platter was jawdroppingly good. I never had anything like it before. I didn't know there were vietnamese dishes that utilized mochi flour and now I can never go back. Every single item was so good. The mochi was cooked so perfectly as every bite was so chewy and soft with no hard clumps at all. The meat that came with them as well were so sweet and tender. The vermicelli plate was awesome too as you can make a wrap with the lettuce and veggies and rice noodles and they all come together to mouthwatering perfection. I found a new spot to hyperfixate on whenever I come to houston.

Not your usual Vietnamese pho spot, amazing small dishes…read more Must get the banh beo chen - I recommend at least 8 per person and doctoring it up with the fish sauce and jalapeño. My favorite appetizers (in order): Banh beo chen, Banh ram it, banh bot loc, egg rolls, crystal dumplings. Personally I wasn't a fan of the paste-y texture of the banh nam but that is a personal preference! Service is not the most hospitable but very quick. We were reseated after spotting a cockroach under our table. But even so I would come back to have this amazing food any day.

The texture was disappointing overall, and the dish tasted bland and underwhelming. That said, I'm willing to give the restaurant another try since they offer many other dishes on the menu. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return specifically for this dish, but if I happen to be in the area again, I'd be open to trying some of their other offerings.

It's nothing spectacular but it was bright and clean and definitely a popular place. I will be coming back that's for sure.

Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea.

Try them, I love a good Asian style wing sauce and this hits the nail on the head with what I am looking for when I think of Asian style. No notes. Would order just these 9.3/10. Beef carpaccio is not something I would order again. I don't really care for carpaccio to be fair. 6/10. Shaken beef had great flavor, but it was less beef cubs and more big beef chunks. Flavor was excellent, but the beef should be in smaller bites. 7.7/10. The stuffed crab pocket was unlike anything I have ever tried. Great seafood taste in the inside, crispy shell. 8.7/10. The calamari squid dish was nice. Flavor was good. Fresh ingredients. 7.2/10. Drinks and services were really the standout here. Super friendly staff and fun Thai drinks.
