    Pho was simply fantastic. Authentic flavors. So well-seasoned and well-balanced with lots and lots of protein. Loved the meatballs as well. So satisfying overall. Service was above and beyond. The owner was so helpful and lovely. Haven't been there for almost 5 years and she still remembered my face (or so she said), but still appreciated the gesture. The decor was beautiful as well with the big murals on the 2 side walls. Highly recommended and definitely coming back for more!

    Great restaurant with delicious food. My husband and I always order takeout, we've never dined inside. Come to think of it, I've never actually seen anyone dinning here. Only takeout orders. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. You can expect your order to be ready with 15mins. Be sure to visit the market next door while you wait. There's plenty of parking available in the shared lot. The menu is small but worthy. I don't ordering from DoorDash. You will over pay. Just call in and pickup. The ban mi sandwiches are small, I usually order additional appetizers. As I've mentioned the food is really good. Here's a list of our favorite menu items: A3 - Spring Rolls (made with reasons, shrimp, herbs, wrapped in rice paper) S1 - Grilled Pork Ban Mi S2 - Grilled Beef Ban Mi B4 - Bún beef rice vermicelli B7 - Bún shrimp & pork vermicelli C7 - Rice with grilled beef and veggies 7 - Stir-fried Flat noodles ( I wish this order had more shrimp)

    Great staff with great food!!! They treat you well and they actually remember their regulars down to their orders!! The atmosphere is always nice and welcoming. Very good for families or even groups. My spouse is always getting the fried rice & I know why, ITS DAMN GOOD!! The broth is amazing... it feels like grandma's recipe . Please note: Prices have changed.. except for the drinks. Prior plates were $9.99-$11.25 and now they are $13.95 and so on. However, I love good tasting food and the staff here makes it so much better so paying their new price isn't a problem. The food is just that dang good . I have 0 complaints, keep up the great service and food!!! We will most definitely continue to support.

    Bun Bo Nuong
    Shanna C.

    My favorite Vietnamese spot. Egg rolls are delicious and huge helpings of bun bo nuong. It's the only Pho I enjoy in the surrounding area. Fast & hot.

    This place is amazing, some of the best Vietnamese food I've found in the Houston area right here in cypress! The Pho is out of this world and the vermicelli dishes are amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff is super friendly too. You will not be disappointed!

    Cơm tấm

    Similar taste with Vietnamese original foods. If you miss Vietnam foods, come here, they cook fast and well serve. Great atmosphere!

    This place... I don't even know where to begin. It's calming, almost delicate. The broth? Unbelievably fresh--the freshest I've ever seen. I'm used to the usual: worn-down utensils, broth with little specks of who-knows-what, a murky film that tells you the water wasn't as clean as it should be. But here? Everything is pristine. The broth is crystal clear, pure, made with care. It's a rare kind of attention to detail, and honestly, that's something worth appreciating.

    Pho Tai
    Jasmine S.

    The place is clean. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcomed. The Pho Tai is my favorite the broth is just the perfect amount of flavor for me. I've added a picture of before it was prepped and after so you're able to see how amazing it looks! Would recommend this place to anyone.

    Cannot attest to anything beside the Bun Bo Hue here, but I've ordered delivery twice and the BBH has hit the spot every time. They're very generous on the vegetables which I appreciate. I ate the entire container of soup and surprisingly wasn't thirsty from MSGs like many other places. Some slices of brisket had too much for my liking, but overall it did the job.

    Special pho is more expensive than other but their soup taste is so good, rich, strong flavor and less cinnamon. This store have no decorations, but clean and still ok. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend for anyone who want to try Pho.

They are very accommodating for large groups and are able to split individual checks. My group ordered many different things and the conclusion across the board- delicious! I loved the crab spring rolls. Again, HUGE portions. The pho was well seasoned and yummy and I had tons of leftovers. The staff is super friendly! They will pack up all the leftovers for you.

Beyond the genuine warmth of the staff, the experience was marked by thoughtful touches--such as the elegant tableside pour of the pho and the graceful precision with which our server handled the wine. Their attentiveness wasn't an exception; it felt like the standard. The food itself embraced simplicity while delivering beautifully refined flavor. The hand‑prepared spring rolls were fresh, vibrant, and offered a variety of enjoyable combinations--we tried every one. The pho, again presented with a tableside pour, revealed a broth with remarkable depth. It required no adjustment, no enhancement--just appreciation. Thank you for a truly lovely dinner.

    We were in the mood for soup, so we searched for pho and Yelp led us here…read more First impression: it was dinner time and only one small family was dining. We were told to pick our own seats. The table we chose was clean, but the seats and floor weren't. The host kindly cleaned it up for us. We sat for quite a while before asking a staff member for water. We also requested lemons, but they never came, so we let it go. We ordered large bowls of chicken pho, and that was definitely the highlight. The portions were generous and packed with flavor, with a great balance of chicken and noodles. Midway through the meal, we ordered lemonade. The host didn't seem too happy about it and went to the back for a while. It seemed like it might be made from powder since she grabbed ice from the front machine. Then we found out it was $5, which was surprising. Service-wise, it felt a bit off at times, but you could tell they were trying. We did share a few laughs with the male waiter, which helped the experience. At checkout, we got a percentage off for Mr. Pho's 7th anniversary at this particular location, which was a nice touch.

    Just a little quick back story...I was driving along my cross country road trip. I was craving a…read morehot bowl of soup. I simply Googled Pho restaurants because I find giant bowls of soup to be quite comforting. This was on a random Sunday afternoon. Well, I just happened to be here in Cypress, Texas about 25 miles away from Houston and kaboom! Pho Bo 2 was located right off Highway 290 in a giant shopping plaza. From the outside appearance Pho Bo 2 looked pretty modern. I had a good feeling that I would enjoy the food here. Upon entering, there were plenty of tables and chairs featured and best of all they were open for dine-in during this pandemic! It wasn't too crowded which I actually liked so this way I could get served quickly (though most Pho places have fast service regardless) because I was hungry! Pho Bo 2 had all your typical food, appetizers, rice, plates and of course Pho soups...lol, the only reason why I ever come for Vietnamese. They offered 40 different Noodle Soups along two pages of the menu. What stood out to me and which I've had success with in the past is Pho soup including egg noodles, pork, shrimp and my new favorite item...quail eggs. I went with Soup #37...the Hu Tieu Mi...which combined rice and egg noodles with quail eggs, shrimp and pork...and for $8.95...an absolute bargain! I also got hot tea which I believe they charged an extra $1. With tax and tip the meal cost $15. Within 5 minutes or so, the soup came out. It appeared really colorful looking with a nice brown broth to it. I also noticed large pieces of pork, shrimp, quail eggs and little green scallions which I'm a fan of. And of course buried underneath the soup were the rice and egg noodles. From my first impression, I was excited with what I received. This #37 was very good. The broth was tasty and the pork was generally lean and not too fatty. I was disappointed with the shrimp. I believe there were only 2 shrimps in the soup and they weren't deveined. Grrr...why wouldn't they take a little time to devein the shrimp? This made me feel like they weren't fully cleaned. Ah, okay so the shrimp let me down. Still, for the occasion and for desiring Pho...the soup was definitely satisfying. Although they only offer 1 size for all their soups, I was actually left yearning for a little more after I devoured the bowl. Maybe I could have found a quick appetizer to start with. Finally, for spontaneously coming across this place on my Google Maps while driving...Pho Bo 2 was a general success. If I happened to be living in Cypress, I would return here. I felt like they were reliable and good enough in terms of quality with their Pho soup. My overall experience was a positive one.

At first I thought it would come w/ rice since I ordered a shrimp dish that would come w/ it last time I came around their soft/grand opening shortly before covid hit, but I had to ask the waiter for extra rice since there weren't any when he brought the wings out. Supposedly they'll charge you for an extra bowl of rice and I don't think that was the case though. I also ordered a jasmine milk tea w/ matcha boba and it tasted less flowery which is good for my liking and I didn't even taste any matcha flavor to the matcha boba that was like crystal boba though. Something I noticed inside was that whenever other customers left after dining in, the waiter didn't clear and clean the tables right away and I understand if he was busy though. I'm thinking it was bc there weren't alot of customers when we came in and he was probably gonna wait until more people would come in later. But overall most of their food is great and hopefully I'll be here eventually to try some of their other foods. :)
