Le Emperor saved our butts this past Valentines Day. While the day began with other plans, a very…read moresick foster pup forced us to cancel our dinner reservation and order local. After a lot of back and forth my partner and I finally agreed on Le Emperor. Confined to the house, we were limited to placing an order for takeout or delivery. While I didn't voice my opinion at the time, I was concerned that the takeout experience would put a damper on the meal. I was wrong. The mango salad is now a new favorite of mine, and a dish I strongly suggest ordering. The flavors are bright, and acidic, sweet, yet savory. The dish hits all of the right notes. My husband ordered the vermicelli. It was his first experience with vermicelli and to my surprise he tackled most of the dish without adding the accompanying sauce. My salmon was equally satisfying. While we were sad to see the former business go, we're so happy to find Le Emperor a fitting replacement. We will be back!

Guuyyyyys, super disappointed!!…read more I used to live in the area and would visit ALL THE TIME! So much that the waiter knew my order and even my favorite seat! Went back today after many months and the food was super bland. Even the char grilled pork in the spring rolls was bland and also not as meaty as I remember. I didn't have time for a large pho so I asked for a small, which in my defense most restaurants have. Welp, not this one. Apparently, it's only large or Kids portion. Needless to say, my long anticipated dinner was unsatisfactory. The only thing that was as good as I remembered, the creme brûlée!! The service as always is so pleasant, they are always so friendly and kind. The environment as always quiet and welcoming with a touch of class.

We were in the mood for soup, so we searched for pho and Yelp led us here…read more First impression: it was dinner time and only one small family was dining. We were told to pick our own seats. The table we chose was clean, but the seats and floor weren't. The host kindly cleaned it up for us. We sat for quite a while before asking a staff member for water. We also requested lemons, but they never came, so we let it go. We ordered large bowls of chicken pho, and that was definitely the highlight. The portions were generous and packed with flavor, with a great balance of chicken and noodles. Midway through the meal, we ordered lemonade. The host didn't seem too happy about it and went to the back for a while. It seemed like it might be made from powder since she grabbed ice from the front machine. Then we found out it was $5, which was surprising. Service-wise, it felt a bit off at times, but you could tell they were trying. We did share a few laughs with the male waiter, which helped the experience. At checkout, we got a percentage off for Mr. Pho's 7th anniversary at this particular location, which was a nice touch.

The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were all top-tier, and it's definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Vietnamese food and a chill vibe.

Hubby ordered the pork bahn me (sp?(, and he really enjoyed it We're stuffed!

Staff was attentive and very friendly with our son. They did give us scissors to cut the noodles and it was in a plastic wrap. Might have been new scissors. Only thing I thought was I guess tacky? The middle central table in the restaurant was filled with their condominium trays and they sat there putting stuff together. I know pho restaurants do that same time but it's usually in the corner or somewhere close off.

Just a little quick back story...I was driving along my cross country road trip. I was craving a…read morehot bowl of soup. I simply Googled Pho restaurants because I find giant bowls of soup to be quite comforting. This was on a random Sunday afternoon. Well, I just happened to be here in Cypress, Texas about 25 miles away from Houston and kaboom! Pho Bo 2 was located right off Highway 290 in a giant shopping plaza. From the outside appearance Pho Bo 2 looked pretty modern. I had a good feeling that I would enjoy the food here. Upon entering, there were plenty of tables and chairs featured and best of all they were open for dine-in during this pandemic! It wasn't too crowded which I actually liked so this way I could get served quickly (though most Pho places have fast service regardless) because I was hungry! Pho Bo 2 had all your typical food, appetizers, rice, plates and of course Pho soups...lol, the only reason why I ever come for Vietnamese. They offered 40 different Noodle Soups along two pages of the menu. What stood out to me and which I've had success with in the past is Pho soup including egg noodles, pork, shrimp and my new favorite item...quail eggs. I went with Soup #37...the Hu Tieu Mi...which combined rice and egg noodles with quail eggs, shrimp and pork...and for $8.95...an absolute bargain! I also got hot tea which I believe they charged an extra $1. With tax and tip the meal cost $15. Within 5 minutes or so, the soup came out. It appeared really colorful looking with a nice brown broth to it. I also noticed large pieces of pork, shrimp, quail eggs and little green scallions which I'm a fan of. And of course buried underneath the soup were the rice and egg noodles. From my first impression, I was excited with what I received. This #37 was very good. The broth was tasty and the pork was generally lean and not too fatty. I was disappointed with the shrimp. I believe there were only 2 shrimps in the soup and they weren't deveined. Grrr...why wouldn't they take a little time to devein the shrimp? This made me feel like they weren't fully cleaned. Ah, okay so the shrimp let me down. Still, for the occasion and for desiring Pho...the soup was definitely satisfying. Although they only offer 1 size for all their soups, I was actually left yearning for a little more after I devoured the bowl. Maybe I could have found a quick appetizer to start with. Finally, for spontaneously coming across this place on my Google Maps while driving...Pho Bo 2 was a general success. If I happened to be living in Cypress, I would return here. I felt like they were reliable and good enough in terms of quality with their Pho soup. My overall experience was a positive one.

At first I thought it would come w/ rice since I ordered a shrimp dish that would come w/ it last time I came around their soft/grand opening shortly before covid hit, but I had to ask the waiter for extra rice since there weren't any when he brought the wings out. Supposedly they'll charge you for an extra bowl of rice and I don't think that was the case though. I also ordered a jasmine milk tea w/ matcha boba and it tasted less flowery which is good for my liking and I didn't even taste any matcha flavor to the matcha boba that was like crystal boba though. Something I noticed inside was that whenever other customers left after dining in, the waiter didn't clear and clean the tables right away and I understand if he was busy though. I'm thinking it was bc there weren't alot of customers when we came in and he was probably gonna wait until more people would come in later. But overall most of their food is great and hopefully I'll be here eventually to try some of their other foods. :)

Some observations/personal preferences: it would be great if the fish sauce came out with the egg rolls to dip instead of the sweet-and-sour sauce, and I wish they had soda chanh on their menu since they offer da chanh already... Our server was super sweet! Didn't catch her name but I appreciated that she made me as close to a soda chanh as she could with what she had and it actually tasted really good!

From the many pho spots I've tried in cypress this place was top 3 for me. The broth was clean but also had the perfect amount of fat on top and it wasn't watered down or bland. The meats were good but the portion was a bit small. But that's probably because I got it to-go and they are trying to fit everything inside the tiny pho containers. I'd have to try this place some more to see if they are consistent. They had my order ready within 10 mins and it was quick checkout .
