    I heard about this place and wanted to give it a try as it's one of the newer Pho places in Alief. The place is cute with a light decor and good vibe. Easy parking out front but plenty more in the back of the front is full. I had the 2nd beef pho with both beef balls and thinner cuts of beef. They have three sizes small, large, and XL. I went with the XL since it was only $2 more and it was a late lunch (got there about 130). Also opted for the fresh wide noodles for the extra $1 rather than regular Pho noodles. The large probably would have been plenty, given that's is 720 and I'm ready to skip dinner. Haha I quite enjoyed the broth and the noodles. Lots of meat in the dish. The beef balls were a little firmer than I would have liked which would have made this place a 4. However, as a bonus ordering a large or XL, I got a free iced Vietnamese coffee. This totally brought it up to a 5!

    This might just become my family's go-to pho spot in Bellaire. We had been seeing Di An Pho pop up on social media for a while, so we finally decided to check it out. We were seated right away when we walked in. The space is open, bright, and very clean. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made ordering feel effortless. Our food also arrived impressively fast. The pho itself was flavorful and comforting, with plenty of meat. A nice bonus is that ordering a large pho comes with a free coffee. Honestly, the coffee deserves its own spotlight. We tried the ca phe ube and the ca phe trung, and both were rich and tasty. Between the spectacular service, delicious pho, and surprisingly great coffee, it is easy to see why this place keeps gaining attention online. There was a steady flow of customers the entire time we were there, which says a lot. We will definitely be back!

    Don't sleep on the GOAT di an pho! I appreciated how they used a wider bowl to get you to appreciate the clear broth. Good portion of different meats in the pho dac biet. Best part is a large pho comes with a free iced coffee (I believe +$1 for viet iced coffee, which ngl was a little too chocolate-y for me) and you can take home the chopsticks!

    This place has gotten all the hype recently on social media and while it was decent, I wouldn't say it's enough to warrant all the hype. For starters, there's plenty of parking, they were running a promotion of getting a free vietnamese iced coffee (no substitutions) with your meal, and yes, you get to keep the chopsticks if you so please. Service was quick and place was large and clean. What was lacking was the flavor in the broth. It was good, but not incredible as many have said. Maybe I'm just used to deep, complex flavor in my broth, but this just didn't do it for me. Quite a few of the meat pieces were pretty dry and definitely needed sauce, but the one standout meat piece was the brisket, which was nice and tender. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're in the plaza, but there are plenty of other great pho spots in the Bellaire area.

    So glad we finally got to try this place! Tried to come a few times when they first opened and they were either sold out or the wait was a few hours. There is ample parking in the back, but can get full sometimes. We came around 9PM on a weekday so it was fairly empty. The restaurant has a great interior, very aesthetic and spacious. The service was quick and everyone was so nice and accommodating to any requests we had. They have S, L, XL sizes for their pho bo. We ordered the L pho tai and XL pho tai bo vien. The L was the perfect portion for me and I think the S wouldn't have been enough - good if you want something lighter or maybe for kids. The pho broth was clear and flavorful and the meat was decent quality. It's not the best pho I've had, but was solid and something I'd come back to! For drinks we got the bac xiu la dua (pandan foam), ca phe sua daddy (the original viet coffee), and sua dau nanh lanh (iced soymilk). Coffee was nice and strong! At the time we went, there was a special going on where you get a free coffee for any Large bowl of pho, which was really nice! I really liked the high-quality chopsticks and how they encourage you to wrap them back up & take them home. Such a cute idea and I still use them! Highly recommend!

    Went here to meet up with some friends. Didn't realize it was their re-grand opening for the restaurant. They were giving away free shirts to the first 100 customers. Guess it was just good timing for us. They had a special going on if you ordered a pho, you got a regular Vietnamese coffee for free. The restaurant itself isn't too big due to the design of the place. Service was quick and fast. I got a pho with brisket and meatball and a regular Vietnamese coffee. Overall, it had a nice taste, but it was too fatty. The coffee had a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. The parking lot is on the smaller side, and they share it with multiple other shops. So come a little early to find a space.

    5 stars mainly for amazing service, nice ambience, and coffee! Tri, our waiter, was attentive and friendly throughout the dining experience. Di An Pho was busy even before noon. Initially waited for a table but got offered bar seating sooner instead, which we didn't mind. Ordered pho tai. Not the best broth ever but it was still a solid bowl (4 stars). They have a promo for free ca phe if you get a large bowl. Ca phe muoi (salted coffee) was my favorite! Ube ca phe & pandan bac xiu were pretty good as well! It's cute that you leave with a chopstick souvenir!

    Solid pho spot on Bellaire! Although located more west from all the other Chinatown spots, it's worth a drive. Can't say I tried their chicken pho (which is why I'm reserving my last star), but their house special pho (P6) was not a disappointment. If you order a large pho, you get a free coffee! So we ordered the viet coffee with ube foam and the bac xiu with pandan foam. Both were really good. The bac xiu is slightly creamier than the viet coffee. You can definitely taste the flavors of ube and pandan in their cold foams. Would recommend trying. Ambiance is nice. It's bright and clean. The service is quick and they were nice to answer any questions. Also by the way, you get to keep the chopsticks. Parking was okay, but if it's at peak hour, I think it could be full and hard to park. Overall, great experience at a reasonable price and would definitely come back again. Thanks, Di An Pho!

    Came during the opening when it was 50% off, so it made the drive deep into Alief more palatable. The line at the time was crazy but there was comfortable seating. Plenty of parking in the back. Food-wise, I don't think the pho particularly stood out. Pho was as expected. The, at the time, $17 for an XL was CRAZY to me, when you can find similar sizes sub-$15 easily. And then the portions didn't look like a large to me. I got the pho tai bo vien (filet and meatballs), and it was only 6 ball-quarters, again CRAZY. Service was okay, and they do everything off the ipad. Keeping your chopsticks is kinda a nice plus, though I'd rather not keep them, and just shave $1-2 off my pho.

    I'm happy to say that we got a new go-to pho spot after visiting Di An Pho! First of all, they put a lot of effort into making the interior of this place really beautiful and festive for the season! The menu, place setting and utensils were perfectly placed on the table. The server was very helpful and asked us if it was our first time visiting. He explained recommendations and told us their current promo of buying an XL pho gets you an included coffee. I ordered the P7 Pho Ribeye and it was delicious!! They also did not hold back with the beef slices! It was protein packed and opened my face up with the chili oil and sriracha we asked on the side. This place is also conveniently next to a Chase, dessert and even a claw machine arcade. It's a great spot for any occasion.

    I'm impressed with this place! For the price, you get very fresh quality pho with a great selection of different options! Got the Pho Tai Bo Vien here and they definitely don't skimp out like most pho restaraunts do for the beef balls and meat. Even for a large bowl, it's definitely plentiful! Generous amount of vegetables as well They were running a promotion where you get free viet coffee with the purchase of any large size bowl. Add a extra dollar fee and youre able to add any foam like salted cheese foam, ube, or pandan foam. I opted for the Pandan and it was very light to my surprise. Definitely not overpowering at all especially when mixed which to me is perfect! Restaraunt is clean, service is great and very attentive. Plenty of seats inside and plenty of parking outside. I'd recommend it!

    Don't let the bowl fool you! The bowl may seem big but the portion of meat and noodles they give is ok. I ordered the signature combination meats pho large size and I only felt just normal full like there's food in my body now I don't feel hungry. I could definitely finish an X-Large bowl haha Overall, the broth is pretty clear and good flavor, they offer fish sauce on the side if you like to add more yourself. Veggies are very fresh. I like the interior is very modern and aesthetic, spacious and comfy seats, also got the hook on the table side for purses/bags. Friendly service and lots of workers working and always checking up on us. It's a go to spot for the atmosphere and vibe but probably not my top choice for pho quality.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

Growing up, my mom and grandma would make Cá Kho Tộ and Canh Chua, and those two dishes just belong together.

The guy who answered the phone wasn't the friendliest, but I decided to roll the dice anyway, and I'm glad I did because the food was solid. We started with the egg rolls. At $10.95 for five pieces, I thought they were a little pricey. They came out piping hot and fresh from the fryer with a great crunch, and the fish sauce was delicious. My only complaint was the lettuce--they only gave us one piece. What am I supposed to do with one piece of lettuce? The Canh Chua Tôm had the perfect level of sourness, exactly how I like it. The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the medium-sized bowl was a generous portion. The Cá Kho Tộ was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, though I would've liked just a touch more salt. Pair it with a bowl of rice and some soup, and it's hard to beat. Overall, this place was solid. Is it better than my grandma's? Absolutely not--but that's a tough standard to live up to. It definitely satisfied the craving, and yes, I'd come back.

My family is Vietnamese, but I am not, and I couldn't help but wonder if favoritism played a role in how tables were treated. After waiting an hour without anyone taking our order--or even offering us water--we finally left. What made it even more frustrating was that we had two toddlers with us who were incredibly patient the entire time. Despite seeing us sitting there for so long, the staff made no effort to check on us or even acknowledge our presence. The food has always been worth coming back for, but the complete lack of service on this visit was unacceptable.

    This is a good casual dining experience with authentic Vietnamese dishes. And some of these dishes…read moreare not sold or prepared in other restaurants. The place is almost always busy proving the quality of the food and the kind attentive service from the staff. When you enter, I usually just a spot and I'm quickly spotted by a waiter. They take the order quickly and the food comes out relatively quickly and hot. The staff even call out the classic phrase "Nước sôi!" when they bring a hot dish out of the kitchen. This phrase translates to boiling water, but they do this for patron safety. I've ordered the Cơm chiên gà xối mỡ which is fried rice with crispy chicken. The rice and chicken are cooked perfectly and the rice has crunch bits made for it. The chicken also has two dipping sauces that come with it. 5/5 taste We have also had the Bánh Khọt which comes as separate small pancake style foods stuffed with shrimp and batter with a side if fresh vegetables and fish sauce. 5/5 taste They also have some refreshing drinks and soft drinks as well. Large parking lot and the restaurant is in a strip center. Will return!

    Hmmm. I ordered banh khot because I had been craving it after my VN trip. The bánh khọt looked…read morepromising at first because the edges were crispy, but the center underneath the shrimp was extremely soggy and lacked flavor. The texture was disappointing overall, and the dish tasted bland and underwhelming. That said, I'm willing to give the restaurant another try since they offer many other dishes on the menu. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return specifically for this dish, but if I happen to be in the area again, I'd be open to trying some of their other offerings.

    I had little experience with Vietnamese cuisine and so did not know what to expect when I went to…read moredone at Hem. Oh how I've been missing out! I loved the street vendor feel that hits you from the moment you walk up with the casual outdoor seating. However, the interior, with its regal decor and trendy feel was what caught my attention. Our waiter was very kind and took time to explain the items on the menu, and his recommendation of the egg coffee drink was perfect for what I was looking for! The egg rolls, skewers, fried rice and clams were all delicious. Everything was rich in flavor and unique compared to other Asian cuisines I had tried before. Can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu!

The food is consistently great, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering the wide range of seafood options. I've tried the razor clams, and the grilled pompano, and I highly recommend both! They also have a solid lunch menu, which makes it an even better value. Service is always good, and the seating areas, inside and out, are very inviting. Definitely worth checking out!
