I've been coming here for a while and this place is delicious. The service is great. The food is great. The atmosphere is great. Kiana is usually my server and she is amazing. She is very sweet and she's always checking on me and she is always making sure my meal is fresh and good. I highly recommend this place. Specially, the chicken pho with egg and the dumplings. I also like the fresh lemonade. read more

Pho Binh 59 South is a far cry from its OG Pho Binh Trailer predecessor but the appeal has been largely due to the success of the name. Even without the family branding, it is a solid pho establishment that stands up on its own. Located in Sharpstown in a strip mall, highway Pho Binh is situated right next to Maharaja Bhog, which is not only one of the city's most popular Indian veg destinations but commands a wild crowd on the weekends. Know this ahead of time (#1) and head past the bulk of folks to the door and one will find a largely Viet crowd, high ceilings, and a strong aroma of spices and broth. It's spacious enough for all kinds of groups and the natural lighting is a nice touch. The signature pho is really their house special (#2), which is loaded with hearty beef cuts and a pungent yet semi-murky broth. The generous cuts of meats, especially the tenderness of the tendon and heartiness of the brisket were the real standouts and certainly made the meal that much more satisfying. The fried cha gio were a bit on the smaller side, which for $7 I didn't mind but didn't love either. The grilled thit nuong pork was a tad sweet but nicely charred, making it an ideal protein over bun vermicelli. Avoiding the fried dumplings as well as their milk tea is highly recommended. Service has been a mixed bag. Some days it's been great, on some others it's a bit slow. This is likely to happen on the weekends when they're at their most busy. They're only open until 6:00 p.m. so make this a lunch or potentially an early dinner destination. ___________ (#1) Because knowing is half the battle. (#2) Dac Biet. All day every day. read more

Been there 2 times. The first time the broth was perfect flavor and the meat was fresh. The second time the birth was salty and the meat was old and chewy. I won't be back here. The pho broth was so salty, I had to squeeze so much lime in there to make it edible to eat. Gross. I don't know what happened bc I was here at the same restaurant a few weeks ago and the meats and broth was so good. I guess they aren't being consistent with their recipe. Or they got too many cooks in the kitchen. I would hope that they taste their broth so they know what they are serving to customers. The cashier was delightful both times we were there and he was very helpful. The food also came out pretty fast as most do in a pho restaurant. Next time I'll just drive another 10 minutes to get to china town for some real pho with perfect meat and broth. read more

Came here twice in one weekend it was so good! Everything tasted extra special.. the broth, the baguette! Service was very pleasant, the servers were lovely. They also accommodated our larger families! Made for a great place to go with friends! read more

Since I'm always on the go during the week days, I had to force myself to eat something really quick and I wanted to stay away from fast food. I'm glad I came here. Sat down right away for a party of 1. They came and took my order within 4 min, ate, and left all under 1 hr. I think it was closer to 45 min and I'm a SUPER slow eater. The broth here was really good! I wasn't expecting it because I was so worried about time. The second that broth hit my lips, I knew I made the right choice for lunch. I've never been to this location before but I'm definitely coming here again. If you need a quick bite to eat, nothing is quicker than pho. That's pho sure. read more

My husband and I were visiting from California and we were looking for a pho spot to try out. Pho Binh 59 South did not disappoint! We both went for the #1 Pho dac biet (1 regular and 1 large). Not only was the broth very comforting and a nice blend of savory and a little sweet with nice aromatics but we were both impressed that they served the pho with cilantro in addition to basil (this isn't common in pho places in SF, SJ or Oakland or even OC) and the server asked us if we wanted our bean sprouts fresh or blanched. They served a ton of jalapeños as well which we love. Maybe they just give more veggies in Texas! The meat was plentiful and my favorite were the slices of brisket. For drinks I got tea and I was impressed they had several options for tea - black, green, or ginger. I got the ginger tea. We both finished our pho and I was super happy with this choice. It's a lot better than options in SF or Oakland and I was happy to give it a try. There's plenty of open tables inside and remember to pay up at the cashier after your done eating. Service was very friendly as well. The inside was clean and bright. read more

My wife loved her Angel Island combo smoothy, peach, mango and strawberry. I really enjoyed my iced Viet coffee with condensed milk. Wifey had the regular sized chicken noodle soup....I helped and we still couldn't finish all of it, very good. I usually try the grilled pork banh mi with a fried egg on my first visit to a "new for us" place......very tasty. We also shared some fried chicken dumplings...some of the best we've ever had.....we'll be back for more goodies. They have a bunch of locations so you should be able to find one near you. read more

I will say I LOVE PHO! If it was a man, I'd marry Pho. I believe this location has the BEST chicken pho I've ever tried. The broth was very flavorful WITHOUT all the condiments and fixings. It comes with half a boiled egg. Of all the pho spots I've been, this is the only spot I've seen them serve an egg with the Pho. Yummy!!!! read more

This place has it all. Good pho and Vietnamese plates as well as just about every type of fruit smoothie you could imagine. I had the chicken pho and my sister had the tofu rice plate. We also got a honeydew and cantaloupe smoothie which was heavenly and the tropical fruit smoothie which was good as well. I enjoyed everything we ordered here and will be back again! read more

Pho Binh An - Banh mi with an extra egg - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Atmosphere: The oolong milk tea is average among the boba places around Chinatown. Their oolong tea is very flavorful and it does not taste super sweet. They don't use powder, which is really nice, unlike many other tapioca places. The black coffee with sea cream is average. It's not sweet, so if you like the full flavors of a coffee, this is the place to go. Jasmine Green Tea with Sea Foam Their sea foam isn't creamy. The green tea is okay. Matcha Soy Tea with Grass Jelly The beverage is flavorful of the soy, but the matcha seems to be lacking flavor. It doesn't have the full flavors of matcha, could be poor wuality Price: The prices are more expensive here than the surrounding area. Boba Game: their boba is not too sweet, so that's real Service: The staff here is always happy to help you out, and they let you sample their beverages if you ask. read more

Ive been here a couple of times and have had great food and service. Today I dined in but wound up being in quite a hurry. The young woman who helped me took my order quickly and provided me with exactly what I needed. My food was delivered quickly to my table and at the correct temperatures. My spring rolls were not served with peanut sauce as I had ordered and I always appreciate that. They were crisp, fresh, and cold plus nicely and tightly wrapped... exactly how I love them. My pho ga was served piping hot and without white onion as I asked also. I wound up taking most of my soup to go and containers were brought out to me as well as a to go iced tea refill. A woman who I assumed to be one of the owners let me know the kitchen was closing and out of chicken broth when I asked about ordering extra to take home but she offered me the beef broth in which I accepted. She came out and nicely packaged everything up for me and reminded me not to forget my tea. So sweet. Will always be back when I'm in this part of town. Thank you! read more

Best Vietnamese spot I have been to! Great service and delicious food! My daughter is always asking to go back!

Ahh yes, another Pho Binh. Fun fact, I used to live right across from the original location on Beamer Rd on the southeast side. Did you guys know that it's built from a trailer home? In the past decade they've grown into a local chain throughout Houston and for good reason. Their pho is legen--wait for it--dary! L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y..! As a kid I couldn't tell the difference. I mean, with the 2 lbs of hoison sauce and sriracha I was throwing into every bowl, who could? (Y'all feel free to throw me a comment if any one else did this as a kid.) But because I'm more bougie, I can now point out the differences. The broth is fantastic. It's a very "clean" broth. Is it better than O.G. pho binh? No, but it's meniscually close, so for those looking to travel 25 miles out to see of there's a difference, you're wasting your time, but..! If you do, make sure you bring cash and know your pho. They don't provide menus--THAT'S HOW LEGIT AND BOSS THEY ARE. Back to the broth. Clean, was it? Ah yes, it's translucently beautiful. I honestly like my bowls with just a spoon of fat/oil. Want to make it even more umami and fatty? Ask for a bowl of bone marrow to add in. Vietnamese baby Jesus would be proud, though you might visit him sooner than you think if you do this everyday. My go to anywhere is "Pho tai bo vien," which is rice noods with meatball and thin cut eye round steak. *pro tip, always ask for the steak on the side, unless you like yours extremely brown and tough (yuck). Once the soup comes out, assess the heat. If it's already starting to cool, start moving the meat inside, but if you have time there's always this trick my uncle taught me: spray some sriracha on the beef, season with black pepper, and squeeze lime over it and marinade it for a minute or two. [Ramsay accent] "Meat, in." I aim for a pale pink and a hint of brown. I think what I'm really surprised about is my fiancé ordered the phở gà khô (dry rice noods with chicken, some brown sauce relatable to teriyaki, and the broth on the side) and they asked her if she wanted white or dark meat. My mind exploded. Nobody ever asks that, seriously! Screw the calories, guys, team dark for life. Bon appetit! *Make sure you take a sip of your broth before making adjustments [with hoison or sriracha sauce] otherwise, it just hurts... (Shout out to your boy if you get the reference) Recommendations: 1.) Gee, I don't know. Maybe phở? Lol. 1.5.) Sorry, I couldn't help myself. But in all seriousness, if you like the tips above, order yourself a bowl of beef based broth and grab some "tai" (eye round steak) on the side. For folks who like their meat well done I would steer you towards trying Chín (Brisket) or Nạm (Flank) instead. 2.) If you like eggrolls and haven't tried the vietnamese variant, get it. You'll find that we make THE BEST eggrolls. They do serve it with sweet and sour sauce by default instead of fish sauce, though I'm sure they'll provide fish sauce instead if you ask. read more

Nice looking restaurant. It felt like the waitress was rushing me to order as soon as we sat down. The beef pho and spring rolls were okay.

Quality of food was really good and the service was extremely friendly. Great job guys!!

I'm a huge pho person and this spot is my favorite, always delicious food, service is always top notch. And the staff is more than kind. The restaurant itself is very nice and clean. The appetizers are a must try. Very delicious! The steamed dumplings and egg rolls and spring rolls are always so good on top of the delicious. Large serving size pho. read more

Updated review - food still wonderful and service fast. I asked for no noodles in my Pho because I'm on a Keto diet and they said they could do cabbage instead. I was happy but they didn't tell me (until the bill came) that they were going to charge me $2.50 for a small bowl of cabbage. I would just get soup next time and not pay the $2.50. Otherwise a good experience as usual. ---------------------------------------- Pho my goodness! Pho-tactic! Best Vietnamese in Pho-ever! You get my point. I'll start out by saying that while I don't dislike Vietnamese food it's never been on the top of my list either. My husband felt like it so I jumped on yelp to see what was around. This place had good reviews so we went. All I can say is wow. If this had been the first Vietnamese restaurant I ever ate at, it would've ruined all of the restaurants for me. Here's what we ordered: large pho with brisket and tendon, Pork dumplings, grilled pork, chicken, and shrimp served with rice, a vermicelli bowl with BBQ pork and egg roll, and a side of their bone marrow. Every single morsel of food that spectacular. I have never had Vietnamese food that I didn't douse in Sriracha and other condiments. I couldn't bring myself to add anything to any of their food because the flavors were so outstanding. The service was excellent, and I look forward to coming back here when we return to Houston. I don't want to give the secret away and this place be too busy but it was just so much better than any other restaurant I have been to that serves Vietnamese food. read more

Consistently solid, and conveniently located right off 59. Broth is good, meats are good. they have the optional bone marrow broth which I would recommend splitting with another as eating all would be a bit much. They also offer banh mi (vietnamese sandwiches) and non pho dishes. This is my default place and i commute about 15 min away to come here. read more

This is a solid place for Pho Gah with soup on the side just like other Pho Binh location. The exception is that this place got more extensive menu than the other Pho Binh. My recommendation is to get Pho Gah with soup on the side. Also, get the egg rolls or spring rolls. Then you should be set. Other stuffs were alright as well. This place is a solid 4-star rating with their Pho Gah plus more varieties on their menu. The service does tend to be a bit better from other Pho Gha as well. It may worth the drive away from the Bellaire area just for that. read more

We saw a roach on the wall by our booth at the very front of the restaurant, on our way out. Speechless. The pho itself tasted very watered down. This may have been good at one point in the past, but there's a reason we did not see a single Vietnamese customer dining here. My Mother and I were the only Asians in the whole place. During a busy lunch hour, the place was only 40% full. I may call the City of Houston restaurant inspector on them due to the roach. Beyond gross. read more

Taking my boyfriend here for his first pho experience was a success! I wanted him to have a good impression, and so I spent a long time debating on which pho restaurant (out of the hundreds in Houston) would get the job done. I'm so glad I listened to the reviews and came here. I've been to Pho Binh's other location on Bellaire before, but they only have pho on their menu, so I chose this one for the egg roll appetizer. Their noodles, broth, meats, egg rolls, and service were all perfect. The soup tastes fresh and authentic, just like my dad's. The egg rolls were good as well! They were around $6 for 4 egg rolls. The waitresses were friendly and accommodating as well. Although, it was obvious that their English wasn't great. I spoke Vietnamese to them, but they still responded in broken English. It's no big deal, they were still friendly and helpful. If it weren't so far away from home and work, I'd be here more often. But I'll be visiting the other locations instead! read more

Resounding 5 stars. Having been to the infamous pho binh trailer right by Hobby years ago, I came across this "pho binh" by my hotel this past business trip, so of course I had to try it. When I saw on the menu that there are line items for FATTY meat, I mean shut the menu I knew what I wanted in that instant. For less than $9, I got a regular size bowl of pho FILLED to the brim with FATTY TENDER BEAUTIFUL brisket. Oh if you havent already, read my profile tag line. Anyway, I almost hugged the server when she brought it to the table. I mean look at my pic. Broth was delicious and the meat was *chef's kiss*. One of the happiest meals I've had in terms of quality and value. Im not even speaking in hyperbole when I say this was the best pho I've ever had. What a surprise for a weekday lunch just before a work meeting. You want to see what pure joy is? Serve me this exact bowl of pho. It may possibly cure cancer/bring world peace, FFS. Houston is so lucky to have such an amazing array of top notch Vietnamese food and I know I have barely even scratched the surface of it. I am so jelly of Houstonians. read more

I enjoy coming to eat pho here at this location because it reminds me of home or as if my mom or aunt was cooking for me. It's usually almost full when I've visited which is a good thing but I've never had any trouble getting a table. They are located next door to Peking Cuisine and Maharaja Bhoug along with Specs. The parking can be a bit tight as the restaurants in the strip are pretty popular. I've had their shrimp spring rolls, pho dac biet, and smoothies before and they all taste great. I love how they do not skimp on the meat portions in the pho. I will definitely be back again when the pho cravings hit. read more
