    Moniee M.

    I got 3c for 12.99 and added meatballs + $3.75 this is my 1st time here and they did not disappoint I woke up with a little bit of a stuffy nose & was craving pho but not really familiar with this area so decided to give this place a try will definitely be coming back 10/10, [[HIGHLIGHT]]place looked clean amd server was cool food came out fast[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Four stars just for the food alone when we walked in we went to grab a table was told we couldn't sit there. No reason why we couldn't. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't want to sit where everybody else is sitting. I wanna sit at an open table away from everybody else[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], if I can not five minutes later, couple walks in and sat at the table that we wanted to sit at and the owner said go ahead anywhere you want. Really?

    Pho ton is the one you want! It's owned by a husband and wife - who are the sweetest! The ambiance is super casual and the food comes out very quickly. My favorite thing to get from here is the rice plate which comes with a pork chop, some shrimp, and chicken. The flavor on this fire grilled meat is WOW. The fried egg that they put on the rice just ties the meal up into a nice bow. We have also had bon bu hue here - and the broth is immaculate! The perfect amount of meats and noodles. I definitely recommend this spot for pho and other viet dishes!!

    this place restored all my hp, gave me wings. Houston is covered in Vietnamese places but this place, this is special.... [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tea, the food, the decor, the prices. So perfect[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Everyone had the same idea, to get pho on a cool evening. I went inside and it was really busy. I'm getting a Tai Nam Gau pho. According to the menu that means it has round steak, flank steak, and fatty brisket - how can this be bad!! The table is laden with Sriracha, chili paste and chili oil. It just keeps getting better. Now to get the waiters attention to place the order. The poor guys running around like a chicken with his head cut off. He told me it's gonna be a little while. Ok, the orders been placed and the food came out pretty quickly. Tasty!! I'm coming back!! It was worth the wait!! The food is amazing!!

    Since the pandemic started,I have been ordering from here via Grubhub. I usually order the mini egg rolls and the bun bo hue,but since it was the first Friday in Lent,I ordered Spring rolls without the pork to start with. Then I had the egg noodle pho with chicken,shrimp,squid and quail eggs. It is so good! It was a pleasant detour from my usual bun bo hue order. The boyfriend had pork and shrimp vermicelli,he isn't Catholic,so he was okay with eating pork. The restaurant has a small parking lot and it kind of makes it difficult if you have a large truck. That's really my only complaint. This restaurant DOES follow COVID19 safety guidelines,andnit makes me feel good to give them my patronage.

    Mid week dinner stop + I had been craving a nice piping hot bowl of pho since the temperatures have dropped outside a bit...but sadly, what I got was warm, almost room temperature pho. Mind you, it was an hour till closing, and you know Asians hate wasting...also, service was average (as expected), but I clearly asked for NO cilantro, and they brought it out with cilantro!!!...then, instead of making a new bowl, they just tried to scoop out the cilantro, but did a poor job of it, so while I was eating it, I could still taste small pieces of cilantro in my soup. #fail. I personally was not a fan of the pho soup base. It didn't taste good at all, just a mediocre broth shall I say? Salty and just present. It wasn't what I was used to at most hole in the wall pho restaurants!...Don't let the interior decor deceive you. People raved (from past reviews) about the crispy egg rolls, but to me, they were miniature in size and crispy at first bite, but after that the flavors just sort of dwindled!...It was overly stuffed, and it's not the flaky, crispy. It looked better than it tasted for sure. We ordered: 1x spring rolls (bleh) 1x crispy egg rolls 1x Pho Tai (sadly disappointing) I've definitely had better tasting pho.

    My wife and I wanted to try something new and interesting and not too far from home since I only had an hour for lunch. Pho Ton came up on her search and we decided to give it a try. The restaurant location is on the corner of a small three-business (?) building and the parking was a weak point. It didn't help that I decided to drive my 1/2-ton truck there either. We were promptly seated, and service was acceptably prompt and pleasant. Looking at the menu I thought that the prices were a little high for a Vietnamese Restaurant and that the location must have something to do with it. Lunch came up to about $35 before tip. Anyway, we persisted and decided to order the dishes in the photos. The food came pretty quickly, and we were done in 45 minutes. Portions were good and despite being a little on the pricey side the spring roll appetizer were also good sized and fresh. It was all nice and fresh and tasty. The grilled pork and chicken in my rice plate was tender and delicious, although cooked in the same sauce. My wife said the vermicelli bowl was nice and fresh and the portion size was good. All in all, it was a very nice experience and I definitely recommend Pho Ton.

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.

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.
