    Beef Pho Beef Noodle Soup (Pho)

    Corner 99 has a lot going for it. We've tried to eat here many times since they opened and we always missed the connection. Finally we made it work! Thank goodness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cute, the energy is good... and the volume is LOUD.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had two kids across from us screaming like they were auditioning for a horror movie, so conversation was basically optional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not the restaurant's fault, but definitely part of the experience. Now the food? Genuinely delicious. My husband ordered the pho and ended up emptying two bowls of chili sauce into it -- and it was still on the mild side. Flavorful, yes. Spicy, not so much. If you love heat, you'll want to BYO fire. I ordered the tofu vermicelli and it was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, great texture -- it just needed a little kick to make it perfect. Same with the spring rolls. Still, I was honestly thrilled to see a full vegetarian section on the menu. As a vegan‑who‑still‑eats‑cheese (cheese‑itarian life), having real options felt like a win. And bonus points: they've got a killer local beer selection. Plenty of great choices, and it pairs perfectly with the food. Bottom line: Corner 99 serves great food with thoughtful vegetarian choices and awesome local beers, but if you're a spice lover, you'll be doing your own heavy lifting. And maybe bring noise‑canceling headphones just in case the kid choir is performing again.

    Shaking Beef with Fried Rice

    My wife and I are regulars here for their banh canh cua and bun cha hanoi. Both dishes are so delicious. I don't even like banh canh unless I get it from here. The broth is so flavorful, full of depth, and the pork that comes with it is probably the most tender pork I've ever had in my life. The broth for bun cha is kind of lacking at most places I've tried in town, but not here! This place has easily become one of our favorites!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friends and I visited on a Saturday night and surprisingly, there weren't that many people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated right away and I noticed that the water cups/dishes they use here are pretty cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friends ordered an appetizer (skewer) and beer and said they were both good. As for the entree, I ordered the Bahn Can Cua (tapioca noodles with shrimp, crab, and pork). I'm personally someone who is super picky with anything pork related and really sensitive to gamey tastes. The soup was a little too strong for me at first but when I added the lime, it was significantly better. The pork slices, shrimp, and crab were all delicious! Overall, it wasn't the best bahn can cua I ever had but it wasn't bad at all! Service was good too.

    Enjoyed this place, it's considered "modern Vietnamese" we enjoyed this place a lot. Simple menu, and portions sizes are decent. I read this review about the banh canh, so I ordered it. And it's good!!! If we come back I want to try the pho and a few other things Service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And ambiance is nice and clean, plenty of parking around as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's also a beer menu for beer enthusiasts

    I got the chicken wings, pork chop rice, Cahn chua and their skewer combo. The wings were really good, the flavors hit. Pork chop rice was definitely one of the better pork chop I've had in Houston. It was tender and flavor was really good. I wouldn't recommend the skewers. All of them came out really dry and were lacking flavor. Other than that everything was pretty good.

    There are a lot of Vietnamese options around this area, but this one is definitely worth trying out! I was in the mood for pho and in the area around lunch. I branched out and tried the lemongrass beef broth soup instead of pho. It was a treat and will have to become another go-to. It was plenty of soup for me to also have dinner. The broth and beef were so flavorful and hearty. The Vietnamese coffee was great too, super strong as Vietnamese coffee is and definitely a pick me up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The server was nice and it was a cute little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    What a great find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Little touches like the drink menu and chopstick box were things that made the restaurant special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Delicious brisket fried rice and tofu stir fry were perfectly cooked and flavorful. Several beers to choose from and they also do flights.

    Came here really wanting to try their fish sauce chicken wings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a modern interior decor with hanging light bulbs and plenty of natural lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers are quick and attentive. The tables are already set with a cool set of mugs and silverware, but had to ask for napkins. We got the corner 99 fish sauce chicken wings (appetizer) for an entree with a side of white steamed rice (extra $2). I got the banh canh cua soup. Chicken wings 5/5. Definitely tasted way better than it looked. Fresh, well seasoned and cooked. Amazing fish sauce flavor and not too watered down. Perfectly fried. Banh canh 5/5. Came with extra chili flakes and lime. The tapioca noodles were a bit slightly over cooked for my personal taste-- I like them a bit chewier. But the broth was so good, finished the entire bowl. The 3 shrimps were colossal, and the crab meat and pork were plentiful. Very satisfied with this meal and no longer will need to make our own fish sauce chicken wings. This place is legit!

    Myself and my family have been coming to Corner 99 since it opened. We can order off the menu without even looking because we all know exactly what we've come for. Over time I've felt as though I may have been overreacting but our last visit solidified that we won't be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness and sanitation is of the utmost importance when I'm out dining with my family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's no telling what happens in the kitchen but we of course can see what happens otherwise. One waiter that has been there a while has consistently bad dandruff. I let it go initially because he didn't serve us our food but in the back of my mind it was unsettling to think that could be flying into the food. This past Sunday we went and the man serving our food put a dish on the table and proceeded to sniff and wipe his nose with his hands before taking so much as a step back from the table. Not just a one off, repeatedly. I counted 3 times. He then proceeded to wipe his nose with his shirt and pick at his nose as he went to grab a cup of hot water I requested. He also got on his phone and took a call only to go back serving. My husband politely asked him to return the cup and wash his hands to which he obliged. That did it for me though. I was absolutely disgusted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That hot water was requested because we soak our silverware due to it coming in this community box that sits on the tables now instead of individually distributed utensils.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This done in order to enjoy a place we've come to from the beginning but it's just not worth it at this point. Hopefully some training will take place and more sanitary practices will begin for their current and future customers. They deserve at minimum, that. We, unfortunately, won't be back. To be clear, I did ask for the manager but was told they left after a large party was served earlier that day.

    Salt and Pepper Calamari

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little Vietnamese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. We ordered: - Pork skewer | 7.5/10 - Tender and flavorful - Salt and pepper calamari | 5/10 - Too salty and wasn't crispy - Bánh canh cua | Didn't try, but my mom said she would not order it again - Smoked brisket pho | 7/10 - Liked the brisket, pretty solid pho - Hot cheek dumpling | 5/10 - Dumplings were already falling apart before I even ate any. Wasn't bad, but wouldn't get again - Shaking tofu with fried rice | 5.5/10 - Sauce was pretty good, paired well with the rice. But tofu wasn't crispy at all which was disappointing - Thai green milk tea | 7/10 - A bit too sweet at first sip, but tasted better once the ice melted more

    The banh canh cua was FIRE!! The broth was so flavorful and they did not skip out on the crab meat. This has got to be the best banh canh in Houston. Brisket Bun Bo hue was good however I think I would get the normal one next time. I personally don't think brisket goes with BBH however my fiance seems to really like it! The broth was flavorful and overall a great dish. Great customer service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]very clean restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute ambience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I previously gave this restaurant 5 stars but lately the customer service is lacking. The food is still delicious but I'm going to try another Vietnamese place in the area a friend told me about and see if their service is good. Corner 99 used to have a woman who worked there was very good and knew her regulars and anticipated needs like extra sauce before you even asked. Hire her back if you can

    I had time to squeeze in one last meal before leaving Houston, and after seeing Pho Dien…read morerecommended all over TikTok and by so many friends, I knew I had to give it a try! I'll admit I was a little skeptical going in because I genuinely think my favorite pho spot in Texas is still in Austin where I live. That being said, Houston has such an incredible Vietnamese food scene that I've been making it my mission to try as many of the highly recommended spots as I can! When my pho first came out, I thought the broth was rich and flavorful, but it didn't immediately blow me away. Then the manager came over and started chatting with me, asking where I was visiting from and what some of my favorite pho spots were. He even asked what style of broth I usually like, and after I told him I tend to prefer a richer broth, he brought me a side of their fatty broth to add in. It made SUCH a difference!! It added so much depth and flavor, and I appreciated that he took the time to personalize my meal instead of just serving the food and walking away. What impressed me even more was how attentive everyone was. The manager noticed I'd asked for to-go containers even though I'd barely touched my food and came over to make sure everything was okay. I had to explain that I just wasn't as hungry as I thought I'd be haha. He was SO kind and even packed me an extra container of the fatty broth to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We also ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, and WOW...it was honestly one of the best versions I've ever had! The pork was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Between the delicious food and the genuinely amazing hospitality, I can definitely see why Pho Dien is so well-loved. Next time I definitely want to come back and try their bone marrow pho!!

We ordered the Combo Pho, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. It had that authentic homemade flavor that's hard to find. The portion was generous, with plenty of tender beef, meatballs, and noodles, and all the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños made it even better. Every bite was comforting and satisfying. We also tried the egg rolls, and they were perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful on the inside. They paired perfectly with the dipping sauce and made a great appetizer before the pho arrived. To complete the meal, we ordered their tea drinks, and they did not disappoint! They were refreshing, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and a great complement to the warm bowl of pho. Whether you're craving a classic milk tea or a fruity tea, they have something for everyone. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for family dinners, lunch with friends, or even a quick solo meal. The quality of the food, generous portions, fair prices, and excellent service make this place stand out. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese comfort food, Pho Dien is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be coming back to try more of their menu. Highly recommend the Combo Pho, crispy egg rolls, and one of their refreshing tea drinks!

    After fasting for 36 hours, Yummy Quan was our first stop -- and at that point, we would've eaten…read morealmost anything... but luckily, we didn't have to settle. This place delivered where it mattered most, especially with the highly reviewed appetizers. Probably one of my favorite drinks here was the Thai Green Tea. It has a really interesting flavor that stands out from regular Thai Tea -- more earthy, but not quite like matcha (we guessed there might be pandan in it). Just a heads up: it's definitely on the sweeter side. My partner and I actually let the ice melt a bit before continuing to drink it, which helped balance things out. I came back a second time and still loved it just as much. The dipping sauce felt like a truly authentic representation of Vietnamese cuisine. It was a lightly diluted fish sauce with spicy red pepper and plenty of garlic -- simple but really flavorful. I also appreciated that the table setup let you customize it to your taste. In my first experience here, we ordered the Bánh Xèo, Bánh Khọt, and Bánh Bột Chiên. I was hands down a huge fan of the ginormous Bánh Xèo -- crispy, flavorful, and just overall my favorite (though I'll admit I'm a little biased toward it already). Meanwhile, my boyfriend completely fell in love with the crunchy Bánh Khọt. That said, I did notice a slight graininess in the Bánh Khọt, which took away a few points for me. The Bánh Bột Chiên was solid and got a pass from us, but it wasn't our top pick -- mostly because we've had better versions elsewhere. Other worthy notes: the herbs were fresh and crisp, and the pickled vegetables were refreshing as well (though my boyfriend thought they could've been a bit more strongly pickled). Eating everything the traditional way -- wrapping it in lettuce with herbs -- made the whole experience even better. Honestly, I would come back just to order two Bánh Xèo. I actually came back a second time before posting this review, this time with my family. We ordered the Bắp Xào, Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc, and a simple rice dish. This visit was a bit different -- across the board, we all agreed the dishes leaned too salty this time around. I could also tell the staff was overwhelmed, with only two people handling both the front and the kitchen, so it was tough to get their attention at times. That said, the Bánh Xèo still held its ground. My parents were genuinely impressed by the size, and for me, it's still an absolute banger -- something I'd come back for again and again purely for flavor and value. The Bắp Xào really stood out to me in a nostalgic way. I loved the use of traditional Vietnamese corn, and the sautéed dried shrimp brought back memories of flavors from dishes I grew up eating, even if I couldn't quite pinpoint which one. While my mom thought it was too salty, I actually felt like it would pair perfectly with a bowl of plain white rice. I also tried some of my brother's Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc and found the beef to be tender and flavorful, though not particularly standout compared to other places. I've had very similar versions nearby, but it's still my brother's go-to -- though I suspect that might also be his way of loading up on protein. Overall, even with the inconsistency during the second visit, I still really enjoy Yummy Quan -- especially for the appetizers. It's a place I'd bring family and friends to try, and I'm still curious about more of the menu... but realistically, I could live life on Bánh Xèo alone. At the end, you also get to grab some guava candy, and for anyone who's never had these, don't forget to pick some up -- they're simply delectable!

    Overall, good Vietnamese food. Certain dishes were a miss, but overall good food. Definitely Katy…read morepricing for the dishes though. I love getting banh khot, banh xeo, and banh bot chien for appetizers. Just tried the egg rolls and it was good too. My go to main would be bun dau mam tom. Other mains such as com chien bo luc lac and bun thit Nuong was ok. I did not like the bun rieu, was too sweet... probably because different region so rieu balls were different than I was used too also. Staff is friendly, food does take a little bit to come out so I always order my appetizers first right when sit down.

It's probably about as close as we'll get with the importing. Bún Bò Huế - My mom and I both agreed that the broth wasn't as rich as we'd like, and I don't think it's their highlight dish. That said, it was still a delicious and filling meal. Served with the traditional red cabbage. Phở Đặc Biệt - Still one of my favorite pho places because of their light broth. I always feel like I get great value here for the amount of food they give you. The meat cuts were especially good today. Bánh Mì Bò Né - My brother's go-to order. I've had it multiple times and have always enjoyed it, but today was definitely soup-energy. Bún Thịt Nướng - I didn't have this one, but the person who ordered it said they enjoyed it! Overall, this place continues to be one of my family's reliable Vietnamese spots. The meat in both broth dishes was especially good this visit, and despite us coming so close to closing, they never made us feel rushed. We'll definitely keep coming back.

    When you are sick and tired and the weather is cold, you know a bowl of pho would be perfect. I…read morepicked Pho Guru because I drove by and saw a pho restaurant in this area, which made me curious to try it. We dined in for lunch. At first it was just us and one other table, but not long after, more people started coming in, probably for lunch as well. The restaurant is pretty large, with both tables and booths, plus a big table for large groups. This is what we ordered: Combo Rolls This comes as a sampler with five different types of spring rolls. Regular spring rolls, nem nuong rolls (fermented grilled pork), grilled chicken, grilled pork, and shrimp only. I really liked this idea because it lets you try everything without having to order each roll separately. My favorite was the nem nuong roll. Bun Bo Hue I do not eat pork blood or pork loaf, so I substituted them with more tendon and beef meatballs. Because of that, I cannot really comment on how the pork tasted. The broth was okay but a little lacking in flavor. After I asked for shrimp paste, it tasted much better. Bo Kho (Beef Stew) This is my husband favorite dish, so he always orders it whenever a place has it. He ordered the one come with bread as dipping. He did not really like this one. It was not bad, but not great either. The flavor was missing, and the broth was more watered down than how he prefers it. Still, it is worth trying if you like beef stew. Overall, our experience was just okay. The service was fine, but the food did not leave a strong impression on us. We did not stay long since my husband had to get back to work. I would come back to try more dishes, especially pho. Since their name is Pho Guru, I feel like the pho might be better. Plus we dined in around Fall time in 2025 so I think the place would have so change with out last experience

    CLOSED ON TUESDAYS! Com Tam Saigon at Katy Asian Town is…read morehands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Houston area -- and the very first place I go when I land in town. I've been meaning to write a review for years! See my photos of the different meals I remembered to shoot. Anything you order, you can't go wrong! Everything here is consistently excellent. My go-to order is the Bún Thịt Nướng (B2) -- the grilled pork is perfectly seasoned and cooked, the noodles are light, and the vegetables are incredibly fresh. I also love the garden rolls with pork or shrimp. What really sets them apart are the sauces: tangy, balanced, and flavorful without being overly sweet. You can tell care is taken with every component. We've ordered family meals, various entrees and it never disappoints. Their soups are also outstanding -- comforting, deeply flavored, and exactly what you want alongside a Vietnamese meal done right. I bring family and friends here whenever I can, and everyone loves it. Their take out is quick and still as tasty. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, the prices are modest and fair, and the whole experience feels like a breath of fresh air compared to Los Angeles dining. Parking is plentiful, and while Katy Asian Town has many good spots, Com Tam Saigon is always my favorite. Reliable, delicious, welcoming -- this place never disappoints. Try it!
