"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!!!!

Was not pleased at all!! Food was SUB-PAR. They forgot my husbands order and the whole kitchen, waitstaff included, were goofing off in the kitchen for 20 minutes before they brought my food, which was literally inedible. Shrimp were rubbery and burned, vermicelli noodles were way over cooked and mushy, the veggies were not fresh, lettuce and cilantro were both wilted, the cucumbers were mushy, and worst of all the fish sauce smelled rank!! And I usually LOVE fish sauce. I'm a Vietnamese foodie and have been to every place within a 15 mile radius. This was one of the worst. To top it all off, when I went to pay for the food I didn't even eat, I pulled out my money and accidentally dropped a $20, my husband saw but thought I picked it up. Before we even got out the door, I realized that I had dropped it and turned to go back. My waiter had walked to where I dropped it and OF COURSE denied that he picked it up. I was not rude I just accepted it as my fault, but the dishonesty even after I paid for the food we didn't eat amd tipped our waiter $8, like cmon really!! read more

I'm old enough to remember many enjoyable nights out at Mai's when it was casual, unassuming, and delicious. Don't get me wrong, Mai's is still my go to spot when I take the time and energy to brave houston traffic for a great bowl of pho and a plate of spring rolls! (And after drinking a bit more that I probably should have.) However, I may be making that journey a lot less now. Why travel 25 miles, when I can just travel 5 before I run my errands and go grocery shopping? This place has that friendly, laid back vibe that makes me comfortable with just stopping by on a whim. This also seems like a great go to when the significant other's choice of restaurant is "whatever". So about the food; phenomenal. The flavor, portions, and price are that perfect balance where I leave feeling full in both body and soul; I want to come back and I want to try everything on the modest yet robust menu. Service is great and the location is clean and modern. If you are looking fir something cool and refreshing as Summer approaches, I highly recommend their house special drink. read more

So, the broth is good, I'll give them that. But the place is small, and the menu selection is limited. My husband had the oxtail pho...and those were the TOUGHEST oxtails ever. He said it was like gristle and bone with membranes. I had flank pho it was mostly fatty pieces. They even skimp on the ice coffee as it was mostly ice. I finished it in 3 sips... And to top it off, they added an automatic 15% gratuity...for a table of 2 dining in! We won't be back. read more

Loved the industrial and modern/rustic look. Husband order a large eye round pho and I ordered children's eye round pho. Perfect size for the both of us. We also ordered the shaking beef platter.

We love pho and have been here before and it a was good but today was the worst! We ordered our drinks then waited forever while the server hung out in the back to finally order.... My boyfriend ordered the combination house pho, I ordered grilled beef and fried rice and we ordered two egg rolls not even five minutes after we ordered they brought my plate out before everything else. It was ice cold I could put my hand directly on it. There was no heat coming from the plate and the garnish looked wilted. I rarely send food back but I wasn't going to eat cold meat so I sent it back not even two minutes later they brought it back again saying it was fresh. The middle was cold. It tasted like they put it on the grill for two minutes and then put it back on my plate and didn't give me fresh food at all. They also admit it having it back there prepared from earlier some sort of kitchen mistake and they brought it out to me not fresh. What was bad as they didn't fully fix the situation definitely would not come back, especially after paying $16 for inedible food and bad service. read more

The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

Hu's Cooking

Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

Xing’s Kitchen

I love Xing's Kitchen. Whenever I find myself in Sugar Land, it's my go to for Chinese, mainly…read morebecause I love the Shanxi oil noodle which is the best I've had. I swear it's just one really long hand made noodle, so it's a bit hard to share, but it's a must-get. We also tried the Claypot noodle and it was good as well but a bit of an acquired taste. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing. It's just not exactly a place where you would have a nice business meeting. Service was ok - nothing to note. You pay at the cashier which is like 2 feet from where you ate. Yes, it's a small space. Overall - I love this place and will keep coming back.

The Shanxi oil noodle is still the best in town with perfectly chewy noodles with the most well balanced sauce. I decided to try the claypot noodle with crisp pork which arrived piping hot with excellent flavor and the same hand pulled thick noodles. The soup was very well seasoned and paired well with the noodles, but I'm not certain that I would get it again since their other dishes are so spectacular.

MDK Noodles

We went in at 11:30 AM on a Saturday - while the sign said they were open and the lights were on,…read morethere was not a soul in the restaurant - not even an employee. I went to the back and there was an employee who said sit wherever you would like. Hardly a propitious start. It only went uphill from there! Service was excellent - the waiter explained the menu to us - food, obviously all cooked to order, took about 10 minutes. Food was brought out as it was prepared so we got our lunch entrees at different time (within a few minutes), but we were sharing so this was good. My daughter loved the steamed pork dumplings. The savory pancakes with bulgogi were outstanding. This is not my area of time, so it took us about 20 minutes to get there - ample parking. A huge number of restaurants in this strip center area - you should explore.

We asked if their raw skate fish was smelly and our service was kind enough to give us samples. We liked the flavor of the fish so we got it along with jolmyeon. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

It's a small and cozy place that can get packed around peak hours. I got the beef curry udon with a side of tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was tender and crunchy and made an excellent addition to the soft and creamy udon. The curry was one of my favorites I've tried so far, a generous, flavorful helping that wasn't overly salty or spicy. They also gave a good amount of tender sliced beef as well. If you're out looking for udon specifically, this place has all sorts of good options for you to choose from.

Ordered for the first time via DoorDash. The food was separated out where I had to assemble noodles that had dried into a ball, oxtail that was barely warm, and a ziploc bag that held a single piece of lettuce, sprouts, an jalepeños. The broth was lukewarm and even after "assembling" the items it was poor at best. Perhaps dining in is better, but this is by far the worst Pho I've ever had. Do not order from this place for take-out / mobile delivery app. Also, beware that they have a different name on DoorDash - they are listed as "The Pho" which is completely different than Pho Vinh. read more

This is one of my favorite Pho places in Houston. It ranks up there with Mai's downtown. Food quality is epic, atmosphere is great and service is amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. Totally recommend this place. read more
