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.

We had a terrific experience here today. After our regular pho place in Friendswood made me sick…read moremultiple times in a row I decided we needed to find a new noodle place. Wonder Pho came through. Our server Emily was very helpful and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. I ordered a very straightforward Build Your Own pho. It was delicious. The broth was rich and had all the correct flavors. The meat offerings were correct. I had filet - some places no longer offer that option. My mom had the wonton soup with egg noodles. I ate most of it as leftovers. The dumplings were big and stuffed. The pork pieces were correct. The atmosphere is very standard Vietnamese restaurant. It looks newish and cleaner than most though. We will definitely be back.

I heard about this place from a friend, and my dad actually tried it before I did. He enjoyed it so…read moremuch that he went back multiple times before bringing me along. The staff, especially the owners, are incredibly friendly and often stop by to chat with your table, which gives the restaurant a warm, welcoming feel. We came by after a tennis tournament, and it ended up being the perfect post match meal. Although I am Vietnamese, I had never tried Banh Bot Chien (fried rice cake with egg) before, so I was excited to finally have it here. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The rice cakes were chewy on the inside with a crispy exterior, and the sauce paired with them was absolutely delicious. It is easily a must order dish. My dad and I also shared the Bun Bo Hue (spicy Vietnamese noodle soup). I thought it was fairly standard, not the most memorable bowl I have had, but still solid and enjoyable. For $12.99, the portion size is huge and could easily stretch into multiple meals, which makes it a great value. Overall, I really enjoyed trying this place, especially for the Banh Bot Chien and the welcoming service. While not everything stood out, it is a solid local spot that I would come back to when I am in the area.

Small corner spot with very limited parking and seating, but they've been around for a long time…read morefor a reason. We love the food here, just wish the customer service was a bit more helpful. No one is rude. It just feels like they're focused on getting the food out rather than answering questions. For me, service is part of the overall experience. One example, the menu doesn't list ingredients for the shaking beef banh mi. I asked what was in it and got a pretty vague answer like "beef" and a few other items. When it came out, it had sour cream, which wasn't mentioned. I can eat it, just not my preference, so it would've been nice to know upfront. * Garlic wings - according to my wife, absolutely amazing * Pork & egg banh mi - really good and fully loaded * Egg rolls - good size and fried perfectly * Char siu pork stir fried noodles - nice kick from the black pepper * Shrimp fried rice - simple but flavorful * Shaking beef banh mi - different from what I usually get (with rice), still tasty overall The inside is tight and not really suited for big groups--more of a quick in-and-out kind of place.

One of my favorites but I came into a small fortune and blew it all at Nobi. The food as always,…read morespectacular. I ordered the stir fried noodle with Sweet chili wings and to pork tacos that are the size of a size 6 in a woman's shoe. Stuffed with meaty goodness and topped with fresh cilantro, onions and their salsa all wrapped in comfort with corn tortillas and then wrapped in shiny foil paper. The wait for online orders is about a 25-30 minutes as it is a tiny kitchen, serving HUGE flavors. The place is always popping with guest enjoying their libations and soaking it up with the cuisine. Small, outside seating available with nice couches and bar tables to feast. I highly recommend if you haven't partook already. Love the ambiance, love the people. These people cook like how Jesus loves people.
