I find that Gong Cha has some of the most "tea" tasting tea ever. The hibiscus tea, for example, tastes exactly like freshly brewed tea, without any artificial flavored syrups.

Personally, I'm a Dutch Bros girl, so I was definitely a little skeptical when I saw they had "power" drinks. But I took a chance and got the Beach Dream, and WOW--it was so good! Especially on a hot day when you're already melting outside, this was exactly what I needed. I was genuinely sad when the drink was gone. One thing I didn't realize about this location is that it seems to be a popular spot for college students and people working on their laptops. There's tons of seating, and it seems like it would be a great place to meet up or get some work done, but most of the seats were full when I went. I was there on a Saturday, though, so I'm sure I caught it at peak time. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying another flavor!

There's plenty of parking. My friend and I were looking for some coffee/boba in the area and saw this location was nearby, so we decided to check it out. First off, the inside of the coffee shop is very cute. Feels very authentic too. To be honest, it reminded me of being in a coffee shop/cafe when I was visiting Vietnam. They had a lot of Vietnamese decor, artwork, and even Vietnamese music playing. We were greeted by a very friendly barista, who made our coffees very quickly. I ordered the "Phin Love Ca Phe" and my friend ordered the "Ca Phe Sua." We both absolutely loved our drinks. The flavor was so good. The size of the cups were large, and we felt like the price was very fair for the portions. I loved everything about this place. I could see this being a good study/working spot too. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

The inside is setup with a warm interior that really takes you right out of the busy city nestled away from a really busy highway. Here you order at the counter and your drink is brought to your seating area. My first unfortunate experience is that the sofa-lite chair cushion has been pretty worn down, so sitting in it wasn't the most comfortable - not a dealbreaker but its noticeable. But my much bigger disappointment is how when the cà phê sữa đá (vietnamese iced coffee) comes out... it tasted just like regular drip coffee with condensed milk. A coffee you'd normally find yourself sipping through a conversation can just easily be chugged down seeing how thin it was. I'm not even going to give them a hard time of what kind of coffee was used either since every location has their preference. I'm only talking about it's overall richness. Regardless; beautiful place, large menu, I will probably return and try something else. Good vibes, just don't expect rocket fuel.

I just had to share my amazing experience at what I believe is absolutely the best pho spot in South Houston maybe even all of Texas! This place has quickly become a favorite of mine. Their pork rice plate is bursting with flavor, and the portion size for the price is simply incredible. But that's not all the boba milk tea is fantastic, too! The combination of delicious food and top-tier, friendly service makes you feel like part of the family every time you visit. If you're looking for a new go-to spot that delivers amazing taste, great value, and warm hospitality, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Came to try Pho Barr for the first time today…read more We ordered the Bò Lúc Lắc on the hot stone plate and the Bún Bò Huế. The Bún Bò Huế lacked the traditional rich flavor I'm used to, but it tasted clean and wasn't oily. It also didn't include the traditional pork blood, but mixing in shrimp paste, lime, fish sauce, and chili helped bring it closer to the authentic flavor. The food stayed hot in the metal bowl which was nice. The Bò Lúc Lắc arrived hot and sizzling, just as advertised. The beef was flavorful and cooked well. One thing to note is that it came with white rice rather than the fried rice shown on the menu description. The food was good, and I'd probably come back, but I'd try a different location because the service at this one was disappointing and ruined the experience. Andrew was very helpful, but the other two employees spent most of the time on their phones with their backs turned toward the dining room, making it difficult to get their attention. We had to get up ourselves to ask for a water refill. While in the middle of eating, one of the girls brought our check and said, "Whenever you're ready, no rush." It felt like we were being rushed out while I was still actively eating and it wasn't busy. What was especially disappointing was that she never asked how our food was or whether we wanted to order anything else before closing out our tab. I had planned on ordering a drink after my meal, but after that experience, I decided I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Better hospitality would have made a big difference.

We walked in a more laid back time with not many people and seated ourselves. There were a few items on the menu I had to mentally translate since I'm familiar with the names of the dishes when I eat in Chinatown-Little Saigon. I decided to go with the Vietnamese coffee and rock and roll beef also known as Vietnamese shaking beef. I did make an adjustment and did fried rice and an egg on top. The Vietnamese coffee is solid. It has that flavor and concentration you expect especially phin filter with condensed milk. The rock and roll beef is a good choice too. The steak cubes are tender and has the nice accompaniment of onions, tomatoes and cucumber. The sauce packed that nice garlic punch which the steak absorb. The fried rice is a nice upgrade from regular white rice but both would be good choices. Overall it was a nice visit to Pho Hoang. It was very straightforward and our server was nice too. No complaints. From my personal experience of drinking Vietnamese coffee for years, I think my tolerance is much stronger to it and found this one today as concentrated but not as bold like I am used too. But this is still very good. There are some staple dishes offered and seen also include a fried fish platter and a few other additions.

The other saving grace was the broth of the beef pho. It was just right...perfect flavoring. Unfortunately, the flank steak was obviously old and dried out and contained unappetizing pieces of gristle and fat. The spring rolls were almost inedible, due to shrimps that were well past their freshness and a wrap that just fell apart. The grilled pork bahn me was the worst. It was not served on the traditional French roll but a bolillo that was just grainy and flavorless. I regret having to report that, after decades of enjoying Vietnamese cuisine, this experience was, well, the most unfortunate of all.
