OOH LA-LA LA PHO 04/05/2024 I was starving after my flight back home to Houston from Chicago. Although I was delighted to see my son again after ten long weeks of Navy Bootcamp and not being able to see him or talk to to him, I was tired and exhausted from the trip. I knew right away that some good 'ol shrimp Pho would make me feel better. Since this place is within close proximity to where I live and I've had it bookmarked forever, I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to see what they're working with. When I arrived, the place was not crowded, but there were a few diners dining inside. The first thing I noticed was how clean and spotless it was, which is something that I can live with. I love a clean establishment because it makes my dining experience comfortable and it also puts me at ease knowing that I'm ordering food from owners who believe in cleanliness. The ambiance and overall atmosphere of the place was nice and quiet and the lights were very bright. Customer service was great which was provided by a young lady that greeted me as I entered. She was very sweet and kind. I placed a to-go order for a large sized shrimp pho which cost about $14. She informed me that it would be about a five minute wait which surprised me because I was thinking to myself, "that's kind of fast." However, as promised, no sooner than I took a seat in the waiting area, a young gentleman emerged from the back with my order within five minutes. I was really impressed with his kindness as he handed me my order. He presented great customer service skills and professionalism. It's scary sometimes when you're trying a new restaurant for the first time and you're not sure what to expect. In my many past experiences, I have encountered rudeness and disrespectfulness from workers and owners which leaves one feeling a bit skeptical about trying something new. However, my experience at La Pho was such a nice and comfortable one. Furthermore, not only was this establishment squeaky clean with great customer service, but the shrimp pho was Ooh La La La-Mazing! First off, I noticed right away after opening my bag and checking my food before leaving the restaurant that the shrimps were slit down their outermost curvature and deveined. I was highly impressed because just about every Pho restaurant that I've visited does not devein their shrimp, which is very annoying to me. Moreover, when I got home and was finally able to sit down and relax, I was highly satisfied as I began to taste my shrimp pho. It was full of fresh vegetables and boasted of a flavorful beef broth. I especially appreciated that it wasn't overly salty. I've had some pho broth in the past that was just a bit too salty for my health, but not this establishment. The pho was accompanied by fresh cilantro, basil, green onions, red onions, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and a slice of lime. It was nice and hot, and soothing to my tummy, and my soul. I simply enjoyed it and cannot find any complaints about it. Overall, La Pho is an exceptionally clean establishment with great customer service that serves delicious and flavorful tasting shrimp pho. I will definitely be paying them a future visit to try some of their fried calamari next. I'm thinking I will dine in to get a feel of what the dining experience is like. Hopefully, they will continue to exercise great customer service skills while providing delicious and fresh cuisine. I highly recommend this place for all pho lovers. You will not be disappointed. Trust me.

I've been here a few times and the food is consistently amazing. It pictured is the 2 pounds of crawfish that we got when we ate there yesterday they were a little on the small side, but I have been eating them from this restaurant all season and they have a really good flavor for the house special a few times I've tasted some that were slightly off that seem like maybe they weren't kept at the temperatures before being cooked or maybe they had been cooked before earlier and that day, but nothing bad enough to make me not return here again.. Last night we went close to closing, not realizing it. They were still polite and sad, and did not allow us to order in. We offered to take It to go

Excellent fast service. Very clean environment. Loved how they brought all silverware in plastic sanitized containers. All the food was fresh and delicious! Best pho I've had in a while. Highly recommend and will be back!

This place is very clean and has lots of available parking. It used to be under a different name. I thought the previous place was really good, so I was surprised it changed. We were immediately welcomed. The restaurant has booths and regular chair/table options. It's a very open style concept. We started with ice tea and an appetizer of eggrolls. Very tasty! Next, we ordered our meal. We love vermicelli bowls, so this was one of the reasons we chose this place to eat today. It was really good, but the pork was a little burned and needed a little better flavor. Aside from that, it was good and very well presented. I thought the presentation was pretty and definitely appetizing. The service was impeccable. We were both impressed. We will definitely return to try other items on the menu. I plan to give the vermicelli bowl another try and hope the pork is better. $35 for 2 plus tip.

New OWNERS and new Restaurant name now La Pho!!! Tried a new restaurant spot last night and it was so good . We ordered a few appetizers calamari and chicken wings. The crawfish was BIG and delicious . The flavor was great with A LOT of garlic . I got the medium which was packed with tons of flavors and not hot. Next time, I'm going to do SPICY. Restaurant is clean and bright. Great for family dinners and large parties. Definitely a must try if you are in the Cypress area. Plenty of parking. I will be back soon to hit up more items on their menu!!!

Wow! First time trying this place and will absolutely recommend, so surprised we had the whole place to our selves considering how delicious the food is, how clean the restaurant is and how quick the service was ! It was a great first time experience and will definitely be back. The pho had great flavor, the crawfish were delicious and fresh, the veggies were super fresh and the drinks were so good. Homemade lemonade was over the top !

This was our first time eating here. I called ahead to confirm crawfish stock and price. There are booths on either side of the dining area which was nice for privacy. Staff was very nice and attentive. All tables got service really quick and were checked on in good time. When you order crawfish, you get a table cover which is great cause I don't like making a mess. Crawfish was really good. Firm, not overcooked, and you can really taste the ingredients. It's cooked with orange and corn which I could taste very subtly. Really nice experience with this one. Softshell crabs were a hit with our son. Nice light batter on them, and they went perfect with the sweet chili sauce on the side. It isn't spicy, so toddler approved. The body of the crab still had the egg (roe) which was an awesome bite. We also got a Large Pho with Tai and Nam beef. I dug into it before I could get a picture. The broth is really nice and balanced. Tai was filet mignon beef which was good and the nam was not overly fatty cuts. Everyone dug into this. Overall everything was really great. The flavor profile is really balanced, for lack of better descriptors. We're going to go back again today to try more flavors. Glad we tried it, cause this will probably be our spot.

I believe this place used to be a Chinese restaurant but now it has changed to Vietnamese. I took a chance one day as I saw this place on Google. I didn't see an updated menu but I assumed they had pho so I ordered 3 pho tai bo vien to try at home (1 small and 2 large). When I went to pick up my order, I was pretty lost when trying to find the building. They are tucked away behind the main strip off the street and in the corner. I never knew this spot even existed. When I walked in, the space is huge and completely renovated with all white marble counters and white walls it looked very fancy. I went to pay (not knowing how much anything was) and it was in my opinion, way overpriced for what we got. The employees were very nice and still figuring out the POS system when taking my order but that's okay. As soon as I got home I opened the bag and I was really disappointed. The large pho had the exact same amount as the small pho. Even though it was $2 more for the large. Overall, I think this place is just okay. I still ate my pho but definitely not worth $12, maybe $5 at most. I feel really bad because I want to support them especially when they're in a bad location but I don't think I can. The meat also tasted funny with a weird texture (almost gummy) so I couldn't eat it all. Same with the meatballs- they had too much cartilage in it?? I am used to small pieces of cartilage but most of the meatballs were half cartilage and that was really unappetizing for me. I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Hopefully over time things change a little and this business is successful. Good luck!

I was very pleased with the food, the service and the decor of the newly remodeled restaurant. My wife had spicy crawfish and she loved the taste and felt that the spiciness was right up her alley - the hotter, the better! They did a very nice job with the crawfish. I had a banh mi sandwich - crispy bread, delicious filling with that lovely Viet mayonnaise. I enjoyed it. The staff checked on us several times throughout dinner and made it clear that they wanted us to enjoy our dinner. We did enjoy it and appreciated the attentiveness and friendliness of our host and server. Overall, dinner was a terrific experience. I plan to go again. This is NOT the old King Crawfish Noodle Restaurant. It is a NEW restaurant.

Love this place! Food is so good! portions are really good size- and everything is a great value for the price! owners are so friendly and take good care of customers. Decor is so inviting and welcoming for whole family! its s little hidden Gem that really delivers! my favorite Shrimp Pho and Shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce! Yum! The best Pho around!

This pace is right down the street from me.. And the best part about this lovely restaurant is that they have Vietnamese food, Chinese food and seafood!! I have had such a yen for crawfish. 6.99 a lb here!!! They also sell beers and wines.. My family ordered Chinese dishes. They all LOVED the taste of the food. You can ask to get any dish spicy or not spicy. If it comes spicy you can get it even spicier!!! Awesome!!! I ordered 2 lbs of crawfish. If you want potato or corn you order it separately. You can ask to have it seasoned in 4 different ways. I ordered the Spicy Cajun.. GREAT FLAVOR!!! Everything was on point and tasted amazing. Definitely will be back. I bet their pho is delish.
