    19. Spring Roll (2 per order)
    Jennifer L.

    This is a great lunch spot. The food is delicious and cooked to order. I frequent here for lunch to go and sit down. Either way they take care of you and you get satisfaction

    Vietnamese coffee

    Me, my wife and my sister decided to try Pho Houston for lunch. Once we entered. Staff were extremely efficient with seating us although the staff was efficient I will say I didn't feel a nice welcoming and also while ordering I felt rushed and kind of like a nuisance. The atmosphere felt nice music placed and the smell of pho was in the air. Pho Houston had many options from sandwiches ,pho rice, and protein, platters, and lots of appetizers, including spring rolls and egg rolls. I ordered a large chicken for a beef Bahn mi a pork Bahn mi and a shrimp vermicelli bowl that came with an egg-roll. Starting with the chicken pho the broth was extremely rich, but had an over powering flavor of ginger which hindered the the rest of the flavor the broth had to offer the chicken didn't seem to be breast but rather than thighs that were inside the pho which different from pho I had previously even though the chicken had an amazing flavor and the broth and chicken paired nicely together. Moving on to my beef. Bahn mi which was extremely pleasing the meat was cooked to perfection and had a touch of sweetness that was balanced out by the savoriness of the marinate that it was placed in before being cooked the pickled Daikon and carrots mixed with the jalapeños and cilantro that were also in the sandwich, elevated the sandwich to a whole Nother level. The bread was also extremely fluffy yet crisp on the outside, allow for a Crunch for every bite. The pork Bahn mi was even better. The pork was seasoned so well and so tender and salty the toppings balanced the savory mess of the pork bahn mi quite well. And finally the shrimp vermicelli bowl which was my favorite the noodles and vegetables were so fresh which paired extremely well with the shrimps the shrimp was very fresh as well and tased quite nice and to top it all off an egg roll was also served with the bowl it was piping hot and so crunchy yet soft and the filling on the inside was seasons quite well and tasted fresh a sauce was also paired with it which went quite nicely it was sweet and balanced the egg roll really well. Inside there was also other customers and it was pretty packed for lunch time. That being said I believe that Pho Houston is a pretty busy during lunch. All and all I will say that pho Houston was a pleasure to visit. I also want to highlight the Vietnamese coffee which was extremely delightful. It tasted like a Hershey's bar had met coffee beans and the consistency was very smooth almost like chocolate milk. This coffee was definitely the best part of pho Houston and we will definitely be back.

    Spring Rolls

    Food was great and fresh and the place is always clean and no long waits. Spring Rolls

    This place is Incredible. I travel the country for work and always look forward to houston. I have ate here every night for the past 5 nights lol i can't get enough. Made fresh to order and the service is fantastic and fast

    Burnt pieces in grill beef

    Order 3 x Grill Beef. 1/3 of the meat was burnt. Also spend half an hour picking out the burnt pieces out of the meat. The meat was full of these stuff, which tastes just like burnt charcoal. And I'm certain will cause cancer. My mom said this is caused by chef not cleaning the pot between dishes.

    12. Vietnamese Sandwich and Vietnamese ice coffee. Great combination!
    SD M.

    Been here now 4x in the last 1 1/2 week... Everything that I've had here so far, are excellent. Growing up close to "little Saigon" in Orange County, Ca. I'm spoiled in having vietnamese restaurants/cafe, everywhere and did I mention that we have places there that are 24/7! Lol From pho, vermicelli plate, fried rice to my fave, Vietnamese sandwich. They were ALL good(to my opinion) my weight will attest to this,

    Shaken beef,fried rice

    The service and food is always amazing when I come to this restaurant! The staff is friendly and the food comes out fast

    Pork eggrolls are delicious!
    Christina J.

    Wow! This place is really awesome! First, I appreciate the early hours, I usually eat lunch at 10 due to my early working hours. So the hours are much appreciated. I ordered the eggrolls which I ate every single one. They were pork, which was even better. A lot of places add shrimp to their eggroll mix, I can't have shrimp so this was a great surprise. Next, I custom ordered a bowl of Pho, instead of the reg meat I ordered grilled beef and it was excellent!!! Everything about my experience today was great. Thanks to all the staff, keep up the great work!!

    Extra large Steak pho
    Luis C.

    This is located only 5 mins from my job, and I found it through reading Yelp reviews. My fellow reviewers were completely correct as the pho is delicious and plentiful, service is very nice, there's plenty of parking on the back, and the food comes out quickly after you order which is important when you have to get back to work. I've paid more for phos of lesser quality at many places so cheers to this amazing place and the nice family running it. The broth is splendid and flavorful, the beef is tender and non fatty, and the noodles are on point. The XL bowl is huge and at $14 is more than fair. Add a soda for $1.50, and you have a filling meal for the whole day. Do yourself a favor and go there today

    Pho with all the meats and beef and shrimp rice

    Amazing food and service. The portions are huge and the meat was so juicy and tender. The restaurant is also very clean and inviting

    Their advertisement pictures on the store front's glass got me drooling so I wanted to check it out…read morewith my boyfriend, also I'm a huge fan of northern chinese food because it's my mom's hometown. The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

I swear it's just one really long hand made noodle, so it's a bit hard to share, but it's a must-get. We also tried the Claypot noodle and it was good as well but a bit of an acquired taste. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing.
