I used to go here every week as a kid when shopping at Hong Kong market. Visiting again recently after trying many other Pho in Houston, I can confidently say this is the best bang for your buck in all of Houston. I got an XL bowl, which was only $14.75, which is basically the price of a regular large bowl at most other places. They give plenty of herbs and the limes were juicy. In terms of absolute flavor, I prefer Pho Sapa still, but that is at the cost of $5 more and for way less portions. When you want quality+quantity, Pho Danh seems the way to go. The restaurant is clean and you can walk around the HK mall afterward. read more

Personal favorite pho place when stopping by in Houston. Service is quick; come sit down, choose, and get served (similar to how it is in Vietnam) Their pho has a good, savory broth with different bowl options and have always went for their flavorful broth in their Bun Bo Hue. read more

Pho Danh - Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Just had some Togo pho ga from here because I was sick and man was it good. They make their chicken in the pho ga kind of like com ga hai Nam which is chicken you eat with fish sauce and rice which is very unique. I had my girlfriend pick up to go and they packed it very well. read more

Great food and service.! The broth is clean tasting and fresh. Danh closes at 7pm but the food is worth getting there early.

I asked some of my Vietnamese foodie friends for pho recommendations and a couple of them specifically suggested Pho Danh. This place not disappoint. Did not skimp on meat portions for the Pho Dac Biet and the broth was just the right amount of salt. One of my (half-joking) soft rules is that the tidier a pho restaurant looks, the more watered down the pho will taste. That is not the case here, as the restaurant was very clean. Will definitely be back. read more

Dim sum at Ocean Palace was a 30 minute wait so I ventured over to Hong Kong City Mall and decided to try Pho Dahn. First time here, but I think I have found my new favorite spot for Pho, especially after trailer pho closed down. They just have pho, I got a large #20. Quite tasty! I drank all of my broth and felt great after! You can choose your size and then they have a variety of combinations of meats and also a just veggies option It wasn't too busy but a good amount of customers present. Everyone was friendly. There is not much decoration, but that doesn't really matter. The thermostat was at 75, maybe a little more cooler temperature would make eating the hot pho even better. I will definitely be back! read more

Very clean restaurant and amazing food! The waitress was also very nice even though we only spoke in English. We got the Pho Bo Combination one small for $11 and one large for $12 with Iced tea for $1.50. The Pho was amazing and really packed with food you're definitely going to get your moneys worth. I'm not sure what kind of tea it was but it reminds me of grass jelly or nuoc mac or maybe green tea? Not sure but it just tastes watered down which it was ok not bad. Definitely coming back here. read more

Pho Danh inside Hong Kong Mall 4 is very clean and less crowded than most Pho places nearby (a plus in my book!). I like how the beef broth is clear and tastes purely from the bones. The herbs and bean sprouts are all very fresh. The only thing is I wish they give more meat, meatballs in my Pho Dac Biet. Other than that this place is a hidden gem! read more

Wow this place used to be so busy during lunch if you didn't come early you wouldn't have a place to sit. Shame to see no one was here during lunch, it's a real tragedy IMO and I hope it picks up. At the end of the day, I didn't have any reason to knock any stars off this place. I think the Bun Bo Hue (small) was the perfect portion and very comparable to other places. Friendly staff waiting with smiles read more

Hidden in some corner of HK4, we came to this place starving. Almost every other pho place on Bellaire was crowded during lunch time and we didn't want to wait. It's been a while since I was here but the quality of their pho remains the same. My family and I used to come here all the time for some good old pho. This establishment is clean with plenty of space inside. I do like that it's hidden in a random corner of HK. It's more quiet and less crowded. We ordered a large size and I almost regretted when it came. I'm used to eating a small size and was a bit worried I might be in a food coma afterward. I ordered a pho tai bo vien but I forgot to tell them to put the tai separately. I don't like my meat to be overcooked. Other than that it was pretty good. I was way too full to move any part of my body. A great place to grab some pho in the area. read more

Pho Danh - Pho tai bo vien -large - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best pho places I've been to in Houston. It's conveniently located in the Hong Kong Mall away from the hustle and bustle of the main area. Their pho broth is flavorful and there is a variety of sizes to pick from depending on your appetite! I like the variety of vegetables they give you besides the basic basil and beansprouts. Try their Vietnamese iced coffee...it definitely packs a punch! read more

GOOD PHO! There are so many Pho restaurants in Houston. How to choose? I did a Yelp search for "pho" in Houston and the search returned over 500 restaurants. Luckily I have Vietnamese inlaws who have lived in southwest Houston for over 25 years. Their current "go-to" place for Pho is Pho Danh 2. I trust the inlaws, and the pho is pretty darn good. Generous portions, flavorful broth, all the standard meat combinations, and fresh vegetables. I was able to peek into the kitchen and it looked fairly clean and organized. read more

I love this place so much. Simple down home cooking. Comes out quickly, fresh, and wholly satisfying. My favorite is the mi Quang served dry with shrimp and pork. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu though. Plus the friendliest people who work there. read more

I can't believe I never wrote a review for Pho Danh. I have to echo the other reviews by saying this is probably my favorite pho restaurant in town. They are indeed super fast and fresh and the XL bowl is an off menu option. The ambience isnt exactly 5 stars (being in the back corner of the Hong Kong City Mall), but the food is why people keep coming back for more. My in-laws have been going to this restaurant for years as a post-church Sunday ritual every week. It gets superpacked on Sunday mornings, so they come and beat the lunch crowd by coming in around 1030... They have a number of other dishes and you can even order your noodles with soup on the side if you arent a big fan of super soupy bowls (which sometimes I fall into that category). If there is one place to go to for when I need a pho fix, then Pho Danh is where I go. read more

Great Pho place with variety. You'll love the friendly atmosphere and the ambiance of a large scale restaurant. Prices are great as well.

This is our to go Pho place. This is where we bring our out of town guests. My husband reminds me everyone has different tastes. So if you like clean pure beef broth taste, this place is it. We ordered 9 Pho Đặc Biệt (special) To Go today. Sometimes, To-Go Pho can be disappointing since it's not as hot as that as when you're at the restaurant. So here are the Tips to put it together at home so that it almost tastes like you're eating there. 1. Re-boil your beef broth in a pot till it boils for 3-4 minutes. While it's boiling, microwave your beansprouts for 1.minutes so that it's no loner cold. 2. Boil hot water and pour it into your large ceramic bowl that you will serve your Pho. Pour out water after 3 minutes. If you don't do this step, you'll lose heat from the broth and your noodles and rare eye of round won't get cooked. 3. In a large pre- warm ceramic bowl on top of a plate, put 1/2 handful of pre-cooked /parboiled beansprouts, on top of that put noodles, meats, onions/cilantro on top. Make sure to put the rare eye of round meat on a small dish on the side. 4. Pour boiling hot broth over meats and noodle of your Pho bowl. Place it on the table. Have the included bag of herbs, lime wedge, hoisin/hot sauce on a plate nearby to garnish it the way you like. Place the rare meet into the hot broth and shake it until it is cooked your liking (medium to well done). Enjoy!! Ps. The bean desert in coconut milk and jelly is tasty too. It's called Chè Ba Mầu (Three color desert) read more

I have been going here on and off for almost 20 years (it was my first pho restaurant when I moved to America). I always order the Pho Dac Biet (The Pho Special) because it includes every protein that they have to offer. Pros: Pho Danh takes card payments (which is rare for pho restaurants), the prices ranges from low to fair, it is cleaner than most pho restaurants, the food portioning is great, the broth is hearty, and the proteins are cooked well. Cons: This place is literally a hole-in-the-wall; it is a poorly placed location (at the edge of the Hong Kong mall), the servers hover over you until you're ready to order, there might also be a language barrier problem as most of them speak Vietnamese, and the appetizer options are very limited. Other than that, I honestly have no complaints; this place's quality is consistent and authentic. I'd recommend Pho Danh to anybody - Vietnamese or not. read more

Pho Danh - Pho Dac Biet (The Pho Special) - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Heard about this place after doing a yelp search. I've only been here once, but I will likely return again. It's located on the far side of Hong Kong City Mall, on the opposite end of the food court. It may be a little tricky to find. Definitely one of the best pho I've had. The meat was generous, fresh, and tasty. The interior is the usual noodle soup restaurant functional dining space. The broth does have a nice quality to it... not too salty or oily, but flavorful with a rich aroma. There is a vast selection of pho meat combinations with all the goodies like tripe, tendon, and meatballs. They rearrange the combinations of meats, so you can surely find one with all of your favorites. I reccommend pho tai if you are a pho newbie. There was a good selections of other Vietnamese dishes if gorging on a delicious bowl of noodles is not to your liking. Seating is mostly cafeteria style with long benches, but there are separate tables to the side too if sharing tables is not your thing. Parking can be a pain because it is in the busy Asian shopping mall, but you can always go shopping afterward for well, junk... read more

Pho Danh - Pho with eye round steak, flank, and marble brisket. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went to Pho Danh over Christmas break with my family. We stopped by after shopping in the shopping center. I had the pho khong thit. It was great, 4/5. The broth was flavorful, noodles were well-cooked -- not too firm or mushy. The fixings on the side were great too. This was a great pho place, and I would definitely come back! read more

This has become a rival for my favorite pho places in Houston: Pho 21 and Mai's. It's located in Hong Kong City Mall and has a community seating style. I chose number 12 with flank, brisket, and tendon (I think) and got a large which turned out to be $8ish after tax. I thought it was interesting that they offered a kids size all the way to an extra large bowl size. The broth here was amazing. I could've drank the whole thing. They gave you a lot of meat. There was meat on top and then under the noodles. In fact I think the only downside weirdly enough is that I needed more noodles to eat with my meat which rarely happens. The service was fast and the food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. My Viet friend brought me here and said it was his favorite place and I could definitely see why. read more

Pho Danh - #25 - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

They make the art of pho look easy! Arguably one of the top pho places in Houston and Bellaire, if you ask me. That statement alone says a lot due to the simple fact that there is plethora of Vietnamese restaurants located on every corner of Southwest Alief that serve this classic bowl of deliciousness. As for the restaurant -- there's plenty of seating, the store is clean, the lighting is great, the location is convenient, but most importantly the pho is prepared nicely. The broth is fresh, full of flavor, and has the perfect balance of salt. As for the meat, they are generous with the portions and I found the meat itself to be moist and tender. Along with the various pho selections, the prices are competitive and the food is brought out within minutes of ordering. Only downside, if you want to order something besides pho, then you'd probably be better going elsewhere. read more

Pho Danh - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is located inside Hong Kong City Mall. Although it's named Hong Kong, it's a misnomer because most of these restaurants are Vietnamese. Our Houstonian friend recommended this place near by for us and I would have to say this place is equivalent to some pho joints in San Jose, California. Pho Danh 2 broth was decent but not as good as Thien An Sandwiches by downtown Houston. Small $6.05/ Large $6.75. read more

Me and a good friend of mine Mr. Bui come here for lunch atleast once every month. If you are a fan of Pho this is one place that makes the best Pho in the city.They have the best broth, and best mixed meat pho. if you are not creeped out by the cleanliness and indifferent service then you will love this place. Ofcourse if you want toe treated like a royal , you will hate this place. Quickly getting to the Pros and Cons Pros 1.Tasty (They pretty much ace at this) 2.Authentic 3.Variety of choices 4.Quick service Cons 1.Cleanliness 2.No flat noodle 3.location (back of hong kong mall) read more

Pho? This isn't your mothers chicken noodle soup! Have you ever walked into a restaurant with aromas hitting your face like a head on collision with a semi truck? Well for me, the aroma from the spices no matter how many times I eat Pho at this place is such an invigorating bliss. The thinly sliced brisket, the beef tendon meatballs, Pho Danh is a noodle euphoria. Hands down perhaps one of if not the best Pho restaurant in Houston. What to order: If you like well done meat(No pink) I'd order the Pho Chin, pronounced FA Chin. Thinly Sliced brisket with rice noodles. If you like tendons, than you could order Pho Chin Bo Vien; Pronounced Fa Chin Baw Veen, Thinly sliced brisket with beef tendon meatballs. Then try a Vietnamese ice coffee, Cafe Sua Da just to add the icing on the cake. Located inside of Hong Kong City mall on Bellaire Blvd, you can almost smell the parfume of Pho from the outside. Its just amazing, there is a little bit of heaven served with every bowl. The broth is flavorful, the noodles are just right, and filled with meat. Allow me a moment of silence while I try to finish my bowl. See you guys there. read more

Stopping by hoping to get breakfast at the place with great shrimp ball soup by the Food Court. But they are not open, so a short walk later, back at this familiar spot(The only food place open in HK mall at 8:30 am on a saturday). Menus changed a bit so I go with my lucky #(Really hung up on shrimp this am). #22 with the shrimp, pork and some shrimp paste balls? The soup is pretty decent in taste, not over powering, tangy and spicy with the lime and Siracha. Shrimp paste balls had no taste, zero, not even fishiness. B- Still not a big fan of this spot, but not much choice when it's the only place open. read more

Five stars for: Best bowl of Pho I have ever had. I have only been here 3 or 4 times but that is because it is not located close to where I live. The Pho is simply the best -- there is something in the broth -- no other place I have been even compares. This place can be hard to find as it is located in the back of Hong Kong City Mall. It is easiest just to park in the back of the mall and enter through the back. While you are there be sure to get some fried banh bao from TP Bahn Bao which is also located inside the mall. read more

Haven't been to this place in a while and I can tell their portion sizes has gotten smaller. They added an 'X-Large' option to give them a reason to charge more, but the portion sizes remain the same just labeled differently. I ordered the large Pho Tai and it came out piping hot and quick. The pho itself is still pretty good. This place just sells pho and nothing else. Clean environment, no non-sense ordering. Waitress have a straight face the entire time with relatively welcoming attitudes. Decent for chinatown. Overall this is your above average pho joint whose portion sizes has gotten smaller in recent years. Not a must try place, but good enough to visit if you're around the area in a hankering for pho. read more

Love this pho place. Always a go to in bellaire. Service is quick every time. Broth is clear and freaking delicious. Generous amount of basil,bean sprout, lime, jalapeños and ngo gai (sawtooth herb) Clean restaurant. Have to shop in Hong Kong mall to know it's there because it's inside of it on the corner of the east wing. read more

My Vietnamese friend said this place used to be very good so we drove 35 mins to have lunch. It's tucked at the back of the HK city mall and it's very clean. My usual pho place is Pho Dien so I find the broth here quite light. The rare steak were tough as they aren't marinated. But glad I tried and will be going back to my default pho place! read more

Yummy beef pho!!! Quick service!! Decently clean! Pho Danh is slightly not your typical pho restaurant. It has bright lighting, cleaner floors/tables, and more people working. Sunday - Lunch time: There was a short line and it moved pretty fast. We (party of 3) were quickly seated and the menus were already on the table. About a minute later the waitress came and asked us for our orders. She kindly gave suggestions and answered all questions. Roughly about 5-7 minutes later, our Pho was kindly delilvered to us. I had a small Pho Tai Nam with the beef on the side. The broth was surprisingly very tasty, the noodles weren't over cooked, and the meat was nice and tender. The bowls weren't huge, but they were very generous with their portions. Although the overall Pho was pretty good, the broth didn't stay hot. The broth got warm pretty fast. :::: 3.75 stars ::: Located inside the Hong Kong City Mall :: The broth doesn't taste like it's overloaded with MSG. : read more
