    "Large" Pho with 3 meat eye round, flank and brisket.

    It took over 15 mins from the time I seated myself and to get someone to take my order. It was maybe half full and it was lunch hour so I gave the benefit of doubt and everyone else seemed to be waited on promptly. I got a sad portion of veggies and the smallest large Pho I've ever had... smh. It was good though... but going to order the XL next time.

    Super good pho spot and well priced! I got a small chicken pho for about $12.90, which I thought was good because it was a great portion. The soup was good and full of flavor. I took my order to go, and drove about 15 min to get home and everything was still fresh and delicious! The noodles were soft which is such a plus because I hate overcooked noodles lol Parking here is easy. The inside has a good amount of tables and looks very clean. A nice young man took my order and was very nice. They seem to be a good working team and got my food out to me in about 12 minutes! If you're thinking of swinging by, do so! It's really good you won't regret.

    Pho Combination: Pho Eye Round, Brisket, Flank Steak, tendon and Meatballs.

    Whenever I Come To The Pho Vietnamese Kitchen My Go To Orders Are The Pho Combination And The Shrimp Egg Rolls! The Pho Bowl Is Full Of Flavor. I Add All The Condiments With A Little Bit Of Chillie Oil And Hoisin Sauce. The Price Is Unbeatable!

    First time trying The Pho and we were impressed!! Small little place, our server was very sweet. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they were just okay, the peanut sauce was a little underwhelming. We got the grilled shrimp vermicelli bowl and the chicken pho and both were very good. Meals were super flavorful and the broth in the pho was amazing. Will definitely love to return.

    This the H3- it was so good. Has a little spicy kick to it and a combination of meats. Try it!

    Went here for tbe first time last night and loved it! The service was great, waiter was nice, place was clean and most of all my food was sooo good! We got the H3. Royal. The toppings you see come in a separate plate so if you don't like it don't worry you don't have to put it in!

    Have tried this place several times now & I love it. The soup is so good, it's comforting. The noodles & flank/brisket also delicious. For the drink, I get the HOUSE SPECIAL.... Sooop bomb & refreshing. For sides, I get the spring rolls... also loveee. The restaurant itself has cute & relaxing vibes to it service is fast. I recommend !

    This is an average Vietnamese restaurant. They did offer 10% off since there was construction going on while we were there. Food: The flavors were good, not great. The food was freshly made. Service: They brought the food dish by dish, and did not come back often to check on our beverage needs. Also I had to go up to the counter in order to pay. Parking: is limited in front of the restaurant, however there is a very open parking lot on the other side. Very ample parking. I'll probably not return as I'll search for a better Vietnamese restaurant. However, if you want an average experience this would be good

    The Pho Vietnamese Kitchen was a complete success! Staff were extremely friendly and greeted us as soon as we entered. They had a large selections of food to order from assortment of Phos , sandwiches and vermicelli bowls. Shortly after seating us and taking our order our food came quickly and efficiently despite it being a Sunday lunch rush which surprised me , today my wife and I order a Charming chicken pho a Beef Bahn mi and two egg rolls as our appetizer. Starting with the Egg rolls they we extremely fresh served with a side of sweet carrots and daikon that balanced the crisp and crunchy saltiness of the egg rolls each bite of the egg rolls was also accompanied by a very light and not overwhelming sweet and sour sauce that tied the whole experience together. Now the main event the Charming chicken pho which was extremely hot and had such an inviting sweet aroma. My first taste of the broth was rich and so flavorful almost if my tongue had been engulfed in warm hug by merely the broth of the Pho but it didn't stop there the chicken was perfect it was cooked well and was very moist and seasoned extremely well the chicken almost felt apart in my mouth and was very delightful to eat now for the rice noodles tied the broth and chicken together they were extremely soft and plentiful the pho fired on all cylinders!!! Now for the beef Bahn mi which was incredible the baguette was so light and fluffy while also being so crispy on the outside allowing for a light crunch to come through on each bite the meat was so delightful almost melting on the tongue it was a tad bit on the sweet side but it balanced well which the chili oil and jalapeños I incorporated into the Bahn mi the picked daikon and carrots elevated the Bahn mi even further which made for a nice tangy sensation which each bite. Overall the food was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient we will definitely be back soon thank you The Pho Kitchen!!!!

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.

The mochi was cooked so perfectly as every bite was so chewy and soft with no hard clumps at all. The meat that came with them as well were so sweet and tender.

Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea.
