I'll be honest--I wasn't expecting much, but PHO District 1 completely exceeded expectations. In…read morewhat feels like a classic college town, this spot delivers seriously good Vietnamese food with bold, comforting flavors that hold their own anywhere. The pho was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying--exactly what you want on a cold day or after a long one. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with customization. Every request was met with ease, and the end result was a bowl that felt thoughtfully made, not rushed or generic. Service was friendly, the place was packed (always a good sign), and the food spoke for itself. If you're craving legit pho and flavorful Vietnamese comfort food, this spot is absolutely worth the stop--and honestly, it's a standout for the area.

Had to have been the longest time for making the drinks. We were there for probably a hot 10-15 min. They were busy with take away orders so maybe that's why it took so long. Who knows. The restaurant almost seemed to be overfilling. The area next to the register was filled with boxes and things. Didn't really see the seating area but they were busy.

The bun bo hue had a decent flavor of lemongrass and surprisingly came with mam ruoc on the side (a particularly unique and... stronger fish sauce essentially bc it's shrimp paste I believe). The bun thit nuong had good char and flavor on the meat and lots of fresh veggies. Service was so so but we went right before the ice storm so.

Greeting from two Houston Foodies! In town visiting family,…read morewe were looking for some dinner. Restaurant is small but clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered Beef Pad Thai and Beef & Vegetables with rice. Unfortunately, our dishes weren't to our liking. Noodles were spaghetti and needed more seasoning and vegetables (not just cabbage). My husband ate my dish of beef and vegetables because he was extremely hungry. However, I would encourage dinners with a more American taste buds to give it try.

The servings were huge, the flavors were great, the food was hot, and the service was incredibly friendly. As mentioned in other reviews, the prices are very fair. Years ago, I lived in an apartment close by and ate at Bangkok about once a month. I remember the food wasn't always 5 star quality (sometimes it would be 3-4 stars instead), but it's always good. I'll be adding this restaurant back to my Lubbock favorites list. Added perk: Thai Pepper is closed on the weekends, but Bangkok is not!

My girlfriend Claire and I are from LA, so there's so many boba shops there. But Claire is even more impressed with the Teapioca here than with even most places we love in SoCal or in bigger cities (Yifang, Sunbright, 85 etc). Quality control is excellent, when she visited town we went every day for 4 days in a row. We were surprised to see who we assume are the owners working hard behind the scenes gently guiding their employees to make the drinks in the best possible way. I can't stress enough that this place is so good and I hope it always stays that way. Next time we want to try the Snowyn Taiwanese shaved snow too, that's not something Lubbock gets a lot!
