This restaurant says "authentic" Pho. They DO NOT have Thai basil, they serve with cilantro. That…read moreis not authentic Pho. The broth is flavorless, the "rare" beef is served well done. Service is poor. We were never asked how our meal was by our server. They forgot half of our order also. Staff let the online order machine alert unanswered, therefore we had to sit and listen to it beeping repeatedly. Staff also kept changing the music repeatedly, so it was overall a terrible experience all around. Highly recommend not wasting your time or money at this restaurant.

April 14, 2026 Food…read moreas usual is amazing, we ordered 2 beef, a mini rice plate, and some egg rolls. We absolutely devoured everything that was in front of us because the food is truly that good the side plates compliment the pho perfectly and even the fresh veggies for garnish are a perfect addition. It is family owned and at one point I know it was also family operated. Tonight in particular was not their night. The service was terrible. Not only was the cashier a little slow with change, taking orders, didn't properly explain what drinks they were out of, gave the wrong take out order NO ONE was attentive. The only times we were able to ask for something else like chili oil was when they were still bringing out our food. After the last plate that we were missing no one came to ask us if we needed a refill, napkins, sauces or anything. The place itself is also really nice with beautiful paintings, nice tables, good ambiance and good vibes but the service is the ONLY reason why it's not getting the full 5 stars.

The ambience is quite nice, they have darling little touches like roses on the table and cozy cafe style tables. You do order and pay when you walk in which was a little surprising to me, but it is what it is. I ordered the Best pho with their 12+ hr bone broth, tendon, brisket and rare filet and it was absolutely amazing! The flavor of the broth was so rich a authentic. Very full of flavor. And the noodles were flavored so perfectly by the broth. The spring rolls were so fresh and their peanut sauce was so delicious and creamy! Best peanut sauce i've ever had! Pho gets 5/5 Spring rolls 5/5 Peanut sauce 5/5 Vietnamese Coffee 3.5/5 (I like mine a little sweeter and creamier, personal preference) The service was quite attentive. I still had pho and spring rolls left over and one of the servers was quick to wrap it up to go for me. Overall this place is amazing and better than some of the restaurants I've had in Chinatown Houston for Pho! Definitely try this place out. You will Not be disappointed

Do yourself a solid and eat here soon.

I do however prefer the orange chicken from the mall and Panda Express more over this one. Something about the flavor of this one just is a little unusual and the texture is.... spongey.

Kate was very nice and helpful. First time here, did not…read moredisappoint!!! I thought I was going to walk into a cafeteria style kitchen where you choose your already cooked food and they plate it for you, quite the opposite! They cook every dish on the spot, veggies and choice of protein were fresh and tasty! You choose your dish from the menu on top, there's daily specials, the prices are reasonable but the portions are big. I asked for mine extra spicy but oh man! That dish was very spicy, so next time I'll choose medium spice** lol They have vegan and gluten free options upon request** overall very good and the choice of music was the cherry on top! Definitely coming back again to try the other plates.

Little ticked away Thai place that's perfect for any one, family and /or friends…read more The place is cleaned and waiter was helpful. Had several appetizers (homemade dumplings, spring rolls, potstickers, and calamari). Overall, all were good, the spring rolls were a little overcooked and the homemade dumplings were a little too smooshy for my liking. But good. Decided to have the Pad Key Mao (drunken noodles) with pork and boy I'm glad I did because It was delicious. I didn't want to go extremely hot but went with medium and definitely wished I went higher but nothing that wasn't a deal breaker. If you're on a time crunch I wouldn't recommend as there seems to only be one waiter who was the cashier as well. But we were in no rush which allowed my friends and I to enjoy each others company sharing stories and laughter.

The Tom Yum soup was perfectly balanced--spicy, tangy, and packed with flavor. It had tender chicken, fresh herbs, and just the right amount of heat to warm you up without being overwhelming. The Pad See Ew was equally impressive. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was a perfect finish--sweet, creamy coconut sticky rice paired with ripe, juicy mango slices. It was fresh, light, and the perfect way to end the meal.
