Seafood P2. Pho Seafood Combination/Pho Hai San

Service was amazing. Love the atmosphere. Our waiter was very helpful. We ordered the seafood pho and combination pho, both were great. Never had seafood in my pho but my boyfriend got it and the seafood in there were tasty!

I'll be honest--I wasn't expecting much, but PHO District 1 completely exceeded expectations. In what feels like a classic college town, this spot delivers seriously good Vietnamese food with bold, comforting flavors that hold their own anywhere. The pho was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying--exactly what you want on a cold day or after a long one. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with customization. Every request was met with ease, and the end result was a bowl that felt thoughtfully made, not rushed or generic. Service was friendly, the place was packed (always a good sign), and the food spoke for itself. If you're craving legit pho and flavorful Vietnamese comfort food, this spot is absolutely worth the stop--and honestly, it's a standout for the area.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. I got the beef pho (pho dac biet ) and tried the chicken pho and also one of their milk boba drinks. The veggies were sparse which scared me but the chili oil was a very nice surprise. Not common for pho places but I enjoyed the flavor of it. The boba was also very surprisingly good (better than some other boba chains I've tried in town). There is a ton of broth. There is a bit of... depth missing but overall it's pretty solid. My friend did a create your own bowl and said there wasn't enough toppings/ meat for him so just to put that out there. Biggest downside is that the place smells pretty strongly of the nail salon next door which kind of muted my appetite at the beginning.

Still my favorite Pho location in Texas. Even gave me a to go cup for my hot tea. I'm always satisfied here. Thank you for the great food and service!

I get this dish every time I go and it never disappoints. The service is fast and the inside is pretty quiet with lots of booths. The savory meat, with the cold vermicelli, and the crispy garlic and peanuts all make for the perfect bite with the sauce. I like to add a little bit of chili sauce on top too.

Usually get the Pho which is a 10/10, decided to try something different and it's just as good. The people who own it are even better! Would highly recommend anything on the menu. 8.1

Wow just wow Stop by again while in town for work and the food is amazing. This time they showed me how to mix the sauces together. This is by far the best PHo restaurant I have been to and I and from Houston and we have a lot of them and I have tried many across the United States. If you are in Lubbock you need to give it a try service is amazing

On that cold Lubbock night this is the place for you. We ordered a couple appetizers for the table. The coconut shrimp and spring roll. So good. We came for the Pho! The broth was amazing. It had so many flavors that hit just right. I had the custom. This option gives you 3 meat choices. I ordered the beef meatball, rare beef, and flank steak. My hubby had the Chicken and rice. This was also very good. The chicken was seasoned just right WOW! It gave me that hug I needed on this cold Lubbock night

Beef Pho with meatballs
Resyl

First time here as we were just driving through Lubbock. Reviews looked good so we chose this place. Our table ordered the Pho Chicken, Beef Pho, and the Special. Price for the portion was average. They give you more meat than noodles. Flavors were there, and the meat on the chicken pho was tender. I also did not have to season my Pho, the broth was good enough. We also ordered egg rolls and Thai iced tea which was good. The disappointment was the chicken fried rice. Since we're on the road we wanted another dish to eat for the drive. We were not expecting this kind of fried rice. I have never seen this version (pictured) so we asked if this was our order. The cook and server came out and explained that they don't mix their meat with the rice. So if not fried rice, why put it on the menu as that? Anyhow, the order was rice with vegetables ( the cook said they don't put eggs in their rice) and a side of flavored chicken. We didn't want to argue, so we took it as is. Flavor is lacking. Rice is mushy and bland, and the chicken is dry. But we came for Pho so overall, this place is alright

Landed yesterday and we were in the mood for something hot. This place did not disappoint pho was great, we built our own bowls with brisket and steak it was awesome, the melon boba with mango jelly was so good. Our server was super nice and quick, they had just opened so we were one of the only people there but the restaurant was clean and very inviting, thanks!

Pho special, with a truly delectable flavor and refreshing taste
Paul L.

(This review is from November 20th, 2023) It's weird that there's a really good pho place in Lubbock. This is on par with places that I've had in Houston! Our Vietnamese friends swear by this place. The pho special broth had just the right amount of meat flavor and that herby goodness that makes you feel refreshed after a long day. Brisket was phenomenal as well, and lots of sriracha sauce on the side to complement it. We also tried both the banh mi pork and beef, and both were very good (while being about 5-6 bucks each!) The only thing we didn't get to try was the Bún bò Huế (spicy beef noodle soup) but it was sold out, and apparently it gets sold out extremely quickly when it comes back in stock! Hopefully we can try this next time and post an update to this review. But tl;dr, amazing restaurant!

I pulled off the road with a serious quake, This place was…read morehandy, my bowels were at stake. The place was clean, and the water ran strong, The stall lock held tight, so nothing went wrong. The potty seat was clean, which is hard to beat, And plenty of butt paper hung next to the seat. I thanked my good fortune and sat myself down, Probably the best bathroom in all of this town. I'm giving this bathroom eight points out of ten, That's near a perfect review from this old man. I would've graded it higher, and I'd have given it a nod, But number on the stall wall wasn't Martha, it was Bob.

When I first started school at Texas Tech, I was looking for a good coffee shop to study and spend…read moremy time at. For a while, whenever I asked for recommendations, I was always told J&B Coffee. I went there for the first time in 2022 believing they would be the coffee that saved me and truly show me what West Texas coffee roasters and brewers have to offer. Oh buddy, I was wrong. I want to start by saying the atmosphere of J&B is incredible. Inside feels like a time capsule to the early 2000s coffee craze with their beverage menu written on a chalkboard, the brick and wood decor, the massive windows bringing natural light into the building, and the space being large and welcoming. There are a few areas to choose from at J&B which include the busy and social front space, the back room for focus and quiet, the upstairs conference room for group meetings, and the outdoor wrap around seating that is typically shaded for a nice afternoon chat. The staff is always very friendly especially with how slammed J&B seems to be on a frequent basis with a line usually reaching the door. Their aesthetic is extremely welcoming. It is like a mistrusting hug. A false sense of comfort before you actually get your beverages. Regardless of getting an espresso based beverage hot or iced, I think it is the worst coffee in Lubbock. I have gotten grounds in my coffee, burnt beans, and straight up unfinishable beverages from J&B, and it is disappointing every time. Last time I went, I tried the Sopapilla Latte which was their September Cause Drink featuring horchata powder, honey, and cinnamon, and it just did not do it for me again. My girlfriend and I went back to see if anything had improved, but our verdict remained the same which was not good. I was an officer in an organization at Tech and during our meetings one officer always suggested J&B. We would go biweekly and their beverages became so unbearable to me that I started exclusively ordering London Fogs to avoid espresso. They started recognizing me for ordering London Fogs frequently. Their pastries are usually pretty good. I have had banana nut bread and blueberry muffins from there that are excellent. They also have a kitchen where they serve sandwiches and other items that people seem to enjoy. I have not tried a meal there. My girlfriend told me she had to stop going to J&B because the smell was so putrid to her. She described it as a coffee smell that was not aromatic and warm but comparable to a coffee left on the counter with creamer in it until it reaches its lukewarm state of tragic existence. You could leave J&B in the evening and sometimes the glorious smell of cow dookie blowing in the wind like Bob Dylan would be comparable to being inside. It is like visiting that one buddy who swears he is not addicted to the broccoli and you throw your clothes in the washer and pray the smell leaves your cotton tees. I do like that they are open pretty late compared to the other heavy hitters in Lubbock. I was working on my graduate thesis and needed to get out of the house after many hours at the library, so I opted for J&B. It worked for that experience, but I ordered a tea. Another plus is their massive cork bulletin board which makes J&B a perfect hub for finding events in the community, clubs and organizations for the hoards of college kids stepping inside every week, and more like piano lessons or people needing someone to join a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. They also host a lot of events from live music to trivia and comedy shows which is also pretty awesome. After this last visit, I finished my latte and found remaining grounds in my coffee. It was disappointing because their space deserves love for being a perfect hub of productivity, but they do not have the product to back it up. A lot of people I know do not go to J&B as their personal choice. Someone else always suggests it for a group project or meeting, and then you find out they only come for the J&B Arnold Palmer which leaves you choosing between the most mediocre espresso drink of your life. A triple bogey. I want to love J&B more, I really do, but it continues to haunt the residents of Lubbock and the students of Texas Tech. It welcomes you with a beautiful atmosphere then reveals itself to be a heel with its evil all along coffee. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A wolf in an apron, maybe? RIYL: Torturing your partners in a group project but loving a good atmosphere.
