Brisket pho
Kristen C.

Love coming here! It is the best pho I've had! The noodles are cooked to order which makes a big difference. The broth has a unique and delicious flavor! The service has always been great, it is family owned and they are very friendly.

I've eaten here four times. I have had the Banh Mi, lamb chops and Pho. Today is the fourth time over the past month or so. Every meal I've had here has been spot on. The Banh Mi was huge, the bread was crispy and inside fresh and soft the meat was tasty as well as seasoned as I asked (spicy). The three lamb chops on a huge mound of fried rice were prepared as asked (med rare) they were nice sized and tasted as good as a $60 entree anywhere in the city except with one extra lion chop. The Pho was outstanding! The bone broth was some of the best I've had and was told they make it from scratch and takes a long time. I recommend this place without a problem! Tonight was shrimp & noodles

single or double best margarita   no hangover

Absolutely the best margaritas, over and over, we have ever had in Texas, Mexico, and everywhere else we drink on this planet! Ken is always ready to make them just the way we like them and will make yours with other flavors Ke and Lien run a relaxing place to have all hand crafted delicious food with No preservatives spring rolls, vermicelli with pork, chicken, shrimp and all the fixings we love it here adds to our several great places to eat and enjoy company in Kemah, League City, Snd Clear Lake Shores

Pork spring rolls and salmon vermicelli

Super Fantastic! I've eaten at Ava's several times and have never been disappointed. I've had brisket Pho (4 times, cuz it's that good!), tofu and chicken fried rice, pork spring roll, and salmon vermicelli. If you like it spicy, i highly recommend getting a side of their Chile oil. It elevates the dishes to another level. Their cocktails are great as well. Give them a try! Picture is of latest dishes.

Crab ragoons

Food tastes okay, but the everything is tiny. I get inflation and all but for what I paid here (it was my first time) I could have gotten double portion sizes at the Chinese restaurant down the street. The staff was very nice and welcoming, I just wish I could have loved everything about this place.

I ordered the Nobi dog, Nobi egg sandwich, and the bittersweet sundae. I was initially hesitant to order the Nobi dog, but my doubts were immediately quelled with the first bite. The Nobi dog was a standout item with the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The savory Kosher beef frank is complimented by the sweet and salty chargrilled pork, pickled carrots and daikon, and spicy sriracha mayo and jalapenos. The crunchy pickled vegetables and creamy mayo stand out against the tender pork and beef frank. I would definitely reorder the Nobi dog at a future visit. Unfortunately, the Nobi egg sandwich was only mediocre and left and impression no more than the simply the sum of its parts. The chargrilled pork was flavorful and egg had a pleasant fluffy texture, but the sandwich as a whole tasted rather boring and uninteresting, especially compared to the Nobi dog. The bittersweet sundae was a stout brownie with vanilla gelato, covered in whipped cream and was the lowest point of this meal, and I would recommend against ordering it. In my opinion, there was entirely too much whipped cream, which was foamy and runny and had a metallic off-note, perhaps from the can it likely came from. After digging through the mountain of whipped cream, I was further disappointed by the texture of the brownie, which had an unpleasant eggy taste and texture. The vanilla gelato was only okay, and did little to salvage this disappointing dessert. Despite its shortcomings, Nobi's service was excellent and attentive. Even on a crowded Tuesday dinner, our waiter frequently checked in on our party. The restaurant is fairly spacious and can accommodate large (8+ people) parties, however it may be a challenge if you plan to visit on a Tuesday night. Overall I would return to Nobi's, specifically for the Nobi dog or the amazing $10 pork chop deal and to explore their wide selection of beers. Aside from that, I would be willing to try other items, but I definitely would not reorder the Nobi egg sandwich nor the bittersweet sundae.

The bread was overcooked and way too crispy. I could barely take a bite, and the crumbs were everywhere. The tofu was bland, but was well cooked, it would have done well with a sort of marinade. I would have preferred some pickled veggies or maybe even more mayonnaise for some taste. I have had some impressive tofu bahn mi before, and this would not be something I would order again. I can appreciate that there was at least an option, though. My friend got the combo plate with chicken, shrimp, and pork, and he thought it was a good taste with large portions. However, trying the pho would really help to make an accurate judgment of the quality of the food at the restaurant. I have friends who rave about the pho here, but the food seems pretty authentic, and I can believe that it is likely very good.

Attentive staff, standard indoor restaurant noise level and vibe. Nothing special in that respect,…read morebut great meat and noodle portions for all their noodle bowls. Their yummy pho bowl that comes with a whole rib is ridiculously good value. Otherwise standard, average pho establishment.
