    Medium rare beef pho
    Lillyvette M.

    We really enjoy Vietnamese food and we had not been able to find a place in Brownsville that satisfied that itch. So we came to Pho#1 and really hit the jackpot! The pho was spectacular and the curry was so delicious. We also had the spring rolls and steamed dumplings. We enjoyed every bite!! The service was friendly and fast. The ambience was also nice. Plenty of room to sit comfortably.

    Steamed pork dumplings

    Very good food and good service. I would recommend. Tasty. I got the Spicy beef, meatball, and tendon pho and my boyfriend got the sliced medium rare beef pho and they were both amazing. We will definitely come again and try more menu options! The restaurant was also very clean and beautiful on the inside.

    The pho here definitely satisfies my cravings especially in cold and gloomy weather. The portion size is large, the broth is flavorful, and the meat is super tender. I especially love the ones with meatballs! They have an expansive menu with various Asian dishes as well. I got their tofu lettuce wraps (option to use other meats as well) and omg I've never had such savory tofu before! I almost felt full eating that appetizer before the pho even came out lol. So for the vegans and vegetarians out there this place is very friendly :) The shop is warm and cozy inside and the service here is fast! There was one occasion when my take out order was messed up and they only offered to give me a re-do the same day rather than being able to come back another day, which was kind of inconvenient for me to drive to and from home twice.

    Pork Fried dumplings were better than Ok. Not great, but recommended.

    Wow! Pretty good Vietnamese in Harlingen?? Who would have thought. It's not going to win any awards, but likely the best I've had in a long time so there are definitely points there. Fast, clean, great service. I had the pork fried dumplings. They were a bit gummy, but on the other side of that they were quite tasty and I enjoyed the sauce. For the entre I went with the B30: 30. Vermicelli with Marinated Char-grilled Shrimp. It was VERY fresh, tasty and hit the spot. The shrimp were way over cooked, but they made up for it with a fantastic seasoning. I would definitely return and advise anyone who likes Asian food to stop by if they are in Harlingen.

    Hey ya'll. Raquel here to just tell you all that if you are ever in the Harlingen area this is a fair to good little spot. They serve small from what I am used to. Unsure if they are feeling the "recession" but not what I am entirely use to in plate sizes. It might be a good thing as I should cut back. Lol! The broth in the Pho was pretty delish. I have had better bahn-mi sandwich. Bread was pretty rough and the size of the sub was smaller than normal. Hardly any meat in sub. I'm a huge fan of the Banh Mi sandwich which could be why I am a bit critical and not content. Fresh egg rolls were fresh yet thin. The lady checking out was pretty nice. Okay place to my opinion.

    Chicken Curry

    Great Pho and Thai food , generous portions, reasonably priced, good service, casual atmosphere

    Great pho 14$ was ready in 10 minutes right by the hotel ! Added updated photos in review

    Sesame Chicken

    Stopped in on our way from SPI in hopes to have some Thai food. It's not really a Thai place. More of an Asian/Mex Food Restaurant. They have a little bit of everything from Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican and Thai. If you are looking for traditional Thai this isn't the place for you. If you want a quick Asian meal this is your spot. Food took 5 minutes maybe after we ordered it. Thai Tea is good. Sesame Chicken was more of a sweet and sour sauce chicken with sesame seeds. Combo Lo Mein was soupy. It is packed with locals. All day specials.

    I should probably give them two stars but I give them three and here's why. I guess I am spoiled living in Houston Texas as we have the best food. These lose one star right off the bat! When you walk in it smells really awful. I asked what if was. They said they are burning candles to mask them sell of the sewer. Terrible for a restaurant. *** attention management **** Strike two. The cokes are flat. The sprite was flat! If you are going to operate a restaurant please make sure you dam soda machine is working or simply offer cokes in a can. Because the ones you are selling are flat and taste terrible. Not that hard to do the right thing and fix your soda machine or sell cans ************************************** Lastly the food: I got the lemon grass beef and as you can see from the pics, this is not lemon grass beef! I am not sure what it was. Maybe their own version of it. They claim to be Thai and Vietnamese but they also sell Chinese food. Guys pick one and get good at that lol. This is the first time in a long time I asked to send my food back and get something else. I simply couldn't eat their version of lemon grass beef. I settled for general tso chicken which was good. My bud got orange chicken. They need a lot of work here. Service was great. Waitress was really nice.

    Table condiments, no soy sauce?
