    Hu tieu mi
    Vi D.

    I used to frequent Phanh Ky in Bellaire area but haven't recently so I decided to check out this Katy location when I was in the area last weekend. I got the hu tieu mi noodle bowl, and my husband got the bo luc lac rice dish. The beef in the bo luc lac dish is amazing! Very tender and well seasoned. There's also several cloves of garlic mixed in with the beef, and a side of salad with dressing (vinaigrette soy sauce). I was really impressed. My hu tieu mi noodle soup was okay, the broth was great but the meat was a little dry for my preference. I do like that they steamed the bean sprouts. The service was phenomenal though! We were checked on multiple times, and food came out really fast.

    This place opens at 9am. 9am yall. It's the only place around there that opens that early which is perfect when I have a 10pm appointment. Food was hot, plenty of veggies. My dry noodles were a little saucy but I had ample vegetables to coat it out. Bread was hot and crispy and delicious with the condensed milk.

    The first time to eat this place. I really enjoyed that place so much and I was very impressed with the quality of food there as well. I liked servers who were really friendly and helpful. Very highly recommended!!

    Spring rolls

    Their spring rolls were great! They come with a dipping sauce Im not used to and I dont k own whats in it except greatness. The rest of our food didnt wow any of us. Not bad, but also not great. The reason this restaurant has more than 3 stars is because our server was fantastic, he was funny, quick-witted, super smiling. The restaurant itself is in an Asian shopping area thats loaded with restaurants all around it in a new "strip-mall" like setting. There isn't much character to the restaurant but it is clean.

    Love the flavors of the soup! It's different from your typical pho, a little sweeter? But still delicious! the bread is so yummy with the soup, side soup or the condensed milk! Super fast service and comes out hot! Chill vibes!

    Phanh Ky at this location is slightly smaller but cleaner. I prefer this location to the one at Chinatown because the staff here are better in communicating. Staff were friendly and service was fast. I had A1 Chinese fried breadstick for starter, and my main was S4 Dry Clear Rice Noodle and Thick Egg Noodle. The fried breadstick was crispy, and when paired with condensed milk, it was yummy. My dry noodles came with a bowl of broth and a spare rib in it. The broth was flavorful. The noodles were tasteless. The sauce was savory but slightly too salty. When mixed well, the bland noodles, and bland ingredients like the sliced pork and pork liver tasted flavorful. The appetizer and noodle portions were small. For most people, one bowl of noodles wouldn't be enough. I would visit again when I have craving for the sauce since it was the sauce that made the difference in the bowl of noodles.

    Seafood broth is so good, the egg noodles goes good with it, and the spring rolls are really good!!!

    Very good noodle soup here! The toppings, broth, service, and noodles were superb! I loved their chili oil/sauce too that you can ask for! The smaller size was very filling, I could barely finish mine. I'd come back!

    The beef noodle soup was good! Their broth is not like the same as bone-broth based Pho... this has fried onions that add flavor The only thing I would've changed is the bean sprouts serve on the side; they give cooked ones instead of fresh, which I prefer. I ordered the signature Shaking Beef to go, and I will update as soon as I try it

    Great service! The employees are so friendly and food came out fairly quick. Tried their mi kho and it was good but the sauce was too sweet for my liking, and wished their noodles portion was more. It came with thin slices of pork, shrimp, and pork liver. So be warned for those who aren't into pork liver and request it without. Mi kho was complimented with a small, flavorful side bowl of broth with a piece of pork spare rib too. Not many vegetarian options. You can order a bowl without pork but they don't substitute it with many shrimps.

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!

It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.

Another group of four arrived about 30 minutes before closing and was refused service altogether.

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.

Service was prompt and quasi friendly. I thought the broth was good despite having an overwhelming aroma of cinnamon. I requested for pho tuoi (fresh noodles) which are slightly bigger than the standard noodles they give you. However, I regretted this choice because many of my noodles were clumped together, distracting from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, I think there's a heavy usage of MSG in their broth because I felt loopy and very thirsty for water halfway through. Needless to say, I was only able to eat half of the generous serving. For those who are a fan of pho and appreciate generous portions, this place is definitely worth a visit. Their pho bowls are substantially larger than those I've encountered elsewhere, offering a potentially satisfying experience for the more voracious diner but for me, quantity is not enough of a reason to become a regular. Note: There's a $1 uncharge for pho tuoi (fresh noodles).
