Today I was craving some Asian food, so I went to "Phở Tran88". First when you walk in a nice water feature greets you followed by the hostess to seat you, they're very welcoming. The restaurant has a good size seating area with the option of seating outdoors if the weather permits is nice. The variety of options from your regular Chinese dishes to Vietnamese dishes, the options are endless. But today I wanted something simple, I got the Sweet and Sour chicken with rice and the option of two egg rolls. The food was cooked just right with the appropriate tenderness and crunch. It's a great place if you're in the area and you're craving Asian cuisine. read more

Service was excellent, and establishment is very clean. We had a variety of plates at our table. We start with Vietnamese egg rolls which came out hot and were very good. Food was ordered next, I had SF4 which was rice noddles with beef, chicken and shrimp. My food was not hot and noddles were so over cooked that they fell apart when trying to pick them up with chop sticks. No flavor to dish at all very bland for Thai food. Asked for red pepper flakes they did not have. Second person had chicken and vegetables and ordered it Thai hot. Plate came not a red pepper flake to be observed in dish. Egg roll was hot and egg drop soap was good. Other plates also lacked spice and flavor. Been looking for good Thai in New Braunfels , guess I will keep looking. read more

This place is amazing! Full disclosure, I know the owners. Let me tell you a story...These folks used to own Pho NB here in New Braunfels, TX. We loved that place. They moved to San Marcos, TX and opened a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Tran88. We have been going there since it opened and love that food. I have a review for that location. About 6 weeks ago, they returned to New Braunfels and opened a Pho Tran88. On this menu, in addition to their outstanding Vietnamese food they have a Chinese food menu (because that sells well here). So on a Saturday after at lunch, my wife and I ventured down to New Braunfels to check out the new location and get some Chinese food. You can't go wrong with either Vietnamese or Chinese food here. The location is bright and clean. The service is always great. The food was perfect. I had the cashew chicken with egg drop soup and my wife had the chicken with vegetables with wonton soup. Portions are solid. This is worth a trip! Enjoy! read more

Have gotten the pho to go several times as it's good! However each time I have picked it up, the owner never greets you with a smile, no thank you, extremely unfriendly, almost like it's an inconvenience for me even being there! The first couple of times, I thought maybe she is just extremely busy or having a bad day. I feel like she is annoyed that I am even there as a customer, like here take it and get out. The employees I have dealt with have been friendly, but the owner should really work on her lack of customer service skills. I live close by but think going forward I will make the commute to NB Pho. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome at an establishment where I am a consumer paying for a service. read more

i've given this place 3 vastly different attempts since this store opened i get that times are tough right now and things are becoming more costly, but i paid $20 for one plain meal w no drink. the portions were okay but in comparison to most other places i was a little sad, but it really disappointed me on quality. 2nd visit i tried a completely different dish and had almost the exact same issues and it seemed like i was bothering them when i went to pick up my food. 3rd visit, had some friends in town, wanted some finger food appetizers to take to-go and enjoy at home for lunch. we got spring rolls, crab puffs, and dumplings. i and one other person got a terrible case of food poisoning. we think it might have been from the the spring rolls but not entirely sure - and it cost $45 for two orders of each which seemed a little pricey to me. i wish i had more positive things to say cause i really wanted this place to be my new go-to but i think im just going to have to throw in the towel read more

Everything is GREAT except the Fried RICE. Has an awesome, totally talented Kitchen....5 stars worth. They skip the Fried Rice altogether. Steamed rice w a drop of chicken broth and maybe some yellow egg shade to color it and call it Fried Rice. No it's not. Gummy and BLAND. The Pho place up in the Kohl center does the same thing, but theirs is even more bland and gummy. Yes, I understand.... if you make the Fried Rice too interesting, some people will just come in and order fried rice. It doesn't need to be fancy. It just needs to be Fried Rice instead of that scoop of gummy starch. read more

The flavors overall are a bit on the mild side, especially in the soups and meats, but the variety makes it a good choice if you're dining with a group or just want a casual, no-frills meal. It's kind of a "jack of all trades" menu with Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese options. One thing I do appreciate: they're very accommodating with substitutions and custom orders, and the service is always friendly. It can run a bit slow if the place is busy, but nothing unreasonable. Overall, not a destination spot, but a good local option when you want something convenient, comforting, and customizable.
