    Pho Do Bien
    Kiet L.

    I knew I was in for a treat before I even walked into the restaurant. The smell of authentic pho spices hit me as I walked closer and closer to the restaurant. The gio cuon (spring rolls) were full of everything you expected and more. Most restaurants skim out of a lot of ingredients but Pho Tran gave healthy and balancing portions of veggies, noodles, and tofu (you can order it with meat). The pho (seafood bowl with chicken broth) was great and filling. Most restaurants have Americanized the dish but these was like home. My only complaint would be that there were not a lot of veggies (jalapeños, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and lime) offered. I noticed an extra charge for it on the menu so I did not request more. I'll return if I'm ever back in the area.

    Legit for San Marcos. Broth was hot, broth could have been beefier, fattier, but it was tasty. Noodles had a funky chew almost as if stuck together. Good amount of noodles and broth, nice ratio. Meat didn't meet this ratio. Only thing is lack of meat, quite skimpy. Bro we're in Texas, where's the beef? Amurika!!

    Ordered the goat curry pho! The brought was actually super light with just the right amount of spice. It was a chilly day so accompanied it with some jasmine tree. Friendly and attentive staff!

    Been looking for a good pho place and Chinese food for a while and we've officially found it. Service is great every time. Very attentive. Clean restaurant. Reasonable prices. Never disappoints!

    I can't remember what is was called since I ordered off the photos on yelp

    I can't remember what is was called since I ordered off the photos on yelp but I highly recommend this place !! I've gone to the one in San Marcos and new Braunfels and they don't ever disappoint

    When we first walked in, we weren't even greeted--not a smile, not a "hello," nothing. I was with four other women, and we all immediately felt unwelcome. The atmosphere was cold, and unfortunately, it only went downhill from there. The woman who appeared to be in charge was incredibly rude and unapologetic. When we asked simple questions about the menu, she acted as if we were inconveniencing her. There was absolutely no warmth or professionalism in the service. As for the food--bland doesn't even begin to cover it. There was no flavor, no seasoning, no color. It looked unappetizing and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Everything we ordered was either overcooked or tasted old. It was honestly a struggle to get through the meal, and none of us finished our plates. We left feeling disappointed and frustrated. With so many great restaurants out there, there's no reason to waste your time or money here. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

They name everything weird, off the Thai standards, so if you order pineapple fried rice, you actually get "stir fried pineapple, with rice" and "pad kee mao", an extremely common noodle dish, arrives as "kee mao," a rice dish. They make no effort to try to clarify, understand, or making things rice. And the food is fine and overpriced. There are way better thai places in town, with far better service. Go there, please. If you're going to charge $20 for a rice dish, at least try to get it right and stand by your product.
