Working in the RGV and was actually looking for a Chinese Buffet. Then Yelp showed me Pho Houston. I absolutely love Pho and Pho Houston did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean and quiet. The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the Pho with beef, tendons, and meatballs. It was delicious. The right amount of noodles and meat. I also had half order of spring rolls. Also delicious. I will definitely will go back, especially since is just down the road from my hotel. read more

I honestly love this place the food is always so good. I usually order takeout never disappointed. My favorite is the chicken pho soup and the shrimp spring rolls. read more

Same here on literally a frozen night to warm up. The service was great and very polite. I'm bummed I didn't know about this place sooner. I have the #7 which was beef and meatballs. The spring rolls were excellent and very fresh, they gave plenty of peanut sauce with their rolls. Great for a causal dinner! read more

The food was ok! The place was messy and loud. The owner is taking orders in dinning area (speaker phone). I couldn't even hear my husband talking. It is also overpriced! They add an extra fee if you pay with debit or credit card. They don't tell you! You find out when you are checking out.. read more

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING FROM STAFF TO FOOD! Highly recommend if you love Pho. The service feels like you're a customer that comes in all the time. Highly recommend the noodle soup with beef tenderloin and the egg rolls will be returning the last Star wasn't included because I believe they could be taking more COVID measures but it is not crowded at all. read more

Pho Houston - Vietnamese Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Always a good bet for a hot bowl of Pho!! Staff is always friendly even if you catch them just sitting down for lunch. They will gladly get up from their plate and take your order and not return to their food till yours is at your table. Really enjoy the family business type of vibe you get from dinning here. Fresh herbs come with the Pho along with all the condiments you could ask for. read more

Great place for a quiet date! My BF and I have been here twice and the food and service is wonderful!

Ive been eating pho for a while and this place has some good and bad things. The good: the broth is very good! I ordered the Thai tea as well and it was well balanced, sometimes Thai tea is extremely sweet, but here it was spot on. The Bad: I ordered the beef tenderloin pho, we were brought the side garnishments that typically accompany Pho. Theses veggies were old and wilted, maybe it was because we came at the end of the week in Sunday but either way, I've never had veggies in such bad condition. The noodles also were not fully cooked, I thought it wouldn't be bad but I ended up just having the broth. read more

I have been hearing how delicious the Pho is at this restaurant. I concur, the pho is absolutely delicious! The Vietnamese egg rolls are delicious as well. The owner served most of the dishes today to various parties. He was able to visit a bit as well without affecting any service issues. The service was excellent and quick for all tables. I could not finish all that I was served and it was cheerfully packaged to go for me. I will definitely return. read more

Tried for the first time from recommendation from friend, it was so good. I did not know what to expect but it was like a Mexican caldo with so much flavor. I wish I would of stopped by sooner. Great staff and prices. I will be coming back to try other items on menu. read more

i ordered the beef noodle pho and it was so good, truly a masterpiece and they have a station in the tables with any add on or topping you could possibly ask for, i would definitely recommend!! read more

Came here twice and the first time the food was Amazing. The second time I saw the server cough directly into the Pho Soup he was carrying out to serve. I then looked around at the open kitchen and cringed, cause it's not very clean. The food is great as far as taste but I don't think I will come back until they spend some time talking with the health department. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food. The perfect post run meal. I was greeted as soon as I walked inside by Gabie. She was professional, quick, and cheerful. I ordered the fresh shrimp spring rolls and combination pho. Both hit my table in a timely manner. Spring roll was fresh, peanut sauce had chunks of peanut (delicious). I added the chili sauce on the table. A nice touch. 5 Star spring roll. Combination pho came out steaming hot. A healthy amount of protein and noodles. I blacked out, next thing I knew, I had eaten everything on the table. I have never had a pho make me black out. The taste was amazing. 5 Star combination pho. Overall, great service, delicious food, good ambiance. Will return again read more

The best Pho in Mcallen. The best by far! No one else compares. The service is great and they will build you a Pho not on the menu if you so desire. The spring rolls are also amazing. Ask for spicy peanut sauce. Great job guys. read more

Greatest tasting pho, amazing banh boa (savory or sweet). Always great and polite servers.

The food is so good and the staff and owners are super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend their Thai iced tea.

Despite living so to this hidden gem, it took me a while to walk in and try it. I'm so glad I finally did. The vegan noodle bowl was delicious and hot the spot. I love that they have a vegan tofu option! read more

Theeeeee best pho we've ever had! And we've tried it in several states and cities! The broth is amazing! The owners are great too, very friendly! The valleys hidden gem for sure! read more

I love their pho! They are always willing to give more vegetables with it and some times they give free dessert.

Delicious Pho, highly recommended. Quick service and friendly staff. Menu has pictures of every item, so easy to choose what you want.

Had lunch here, and it was really good! I tried their beef flank. Huge portions. I almost wished I shared with my husband! They have a variety of toppings to add to your pho. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Overall, I don't think we'll be back. The service was a little slow; shouldn't have to get someone's attention for a refill. Next, the Pad Thai was swimming in sauce and wasn't good. The pho and eggs rolls were good but not out of the this world. I rather go to Xin Xin or Hop Tung. read more

Best Pho place in town!! The only complain I have if that two bowls of pho will rank you up to almost $26!! I think they jacked up their prices because it wasn't that expensive. If not, I would be going in a whole lot more often than I usually do. read more

Daaangg. Very good I say. I've had pho all over Texas. And I have to admit this one was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had. The broth was very tasty. Over all great eating experience. read more

Pho Houston - Vietnamese Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This was the best PHO I had in mainland United States. The portion was good and the taste was great. Definitely will go there again

Oh my gosh! We were looking for something different and we found it. This was our first time trying pho and we absolutely loved it. For the kids we got chicken fried rice, but they enjoyed the egg noodles more, which were the egg noodles served with my seafood dish. If you've read my reviews you know I love shrimp and this shrimp dish was perfect. I added the hot chili to my dish and it was even better. Service was great. read more

I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and shrimp ... by far the weirdest and strangest pad Thai of all ... the taste was not good at all neither was it visually appealing... read more

Fast service and the Pho is amazing!! Staff is great and are always ready to recommend something great. Prices are reasonable.

I've been coming here for years and I'll continue to dine here when I get a craving for pho. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants I enjoy, but no other pho really compares. Their bowls are consistently delicious and I have never had any sort of service or food issue. They gotta be doing something different - to me, no other pho comes close to Pho Houston's. Tucked away, relatively quiet, straightforward and quick service, always clean, reasonably priced for the portion of soup you receive. I've also never waited longer than 10 minutes for food, whether dine in or to-go. Love this place. read more

This Pho place has been in Midtown for over three decades. Other than Pho, they have other dishes, such as spring rolls, egg rolls, several rice plates, Vermicelli, and banh mi. Their food is consistent in taste and served quickly after you place the order. The restaurant is kind of old but clean. The service is efficient. Over the years I see more people of different races come to the restaurant as Vietnamese food becomes more popular. read more

The best Vietnamese food you can find in RGV. The pho, fried rice, fried and spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee are some of the item I definitely recommend. read more

Love the food, service, and general atmosphere of this place. Also, best pho in McAllen/Edinburg area (possibly the RGV, but I haven't been to all Vietnamese restaurants in the valley). This is my partner's and my ***favorite*** and go-to restaurant in the area. We now come here almost every week or every two weeks since we first tried it out. After moving from Boston, we were rather disappointed by food options in the McAllen/Edinburg area (looking at you Yasuke...) but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of Pho Houston. The food definitely bests that of other local options - Vietnamese (e.g., Snow Bite) and not (e.g., Republic of the Rio Grande). The service is also top notch in a small business-like fashion (e.g., the owner frequently checks on and cares for customers). The place is not overly staffed, so you won't get service every two minutes during busy times - but they are attentive (e.g., our waters are regularly re-filled), flexible (e.g., they've swapped in multiple menu substitutions when we've brought our vegetarian and vegan friends), and genuinely nice. There aren't any other restaurants in the area that come close to our satisfaction and continued patronage of this place. So whether or not you are interested in pho in particular, this is a restaurant to try. read more

The best pho place I've tried here in the RGV!! It's definitely my go to, the beef tenderloin soup with some chicken fried rice is hands down the best, and the rice is such a large portion you can share! Decent prices for the amount of food that comes. It is all very flavorful as well! A must try if you are looking for some top notch Vietnamese cuisine. The customer service is also very nice, they greet you right away and the food is little to no wait. read more

Whatever you do, don't order delivery. They go out of their way to make sure you know it's inconvenient to them. The food was decent. I've heard it's the best Vietnamese in the Valley. They must be doing pretty well if they can get away with being so rude. read more

What can I say but Pho, the location is a little hidden and it's small but it's worth it. The food is great the selection bomb. One of the best phos in the valley. The staff is always very welcoming everytime we go in, me and my date are greeted with a smile. A very welcoming experience. read more

Decent Pho for the area. I wish you could pay extra for extra meat or if they had an extra large option that would be nice too. Left hungry. They will not honor the Yelp deal. read more

Best pho in the valley. So authentic and always consistent. Most of the workers hardly speak English though so it's a little hard to communicate when trying to ask questions or ask for special requests. Food is amazing though. Place is just a little too quiet. I feel like I need to whisper every time I'm in the restaurant. read more

They had a list of varieties for pho alone. We had number 6 which came with beef tenderloin and beef balls, and number 7, with beef tenderloin and tendons. The beef was very tender with a lot of flavor and the tendons were yummy. One thing me and my wife noticed was they brought out the pho fairly quickly. It's wasn't very hot, but warm enough to enjoy. The price range is good for the amount you get as well. I ordered a Thai iced tea afterwards, but to me it was a little watered down. I really enjoyed the fast service and the overall meal and I will definitely be returning. read more

Wow! What an amazing treat. The broth of the pho was rich and flavorful with lots of meat and tendon!! I cannot wait to return!

Always great food here. Eaten multiple times. Fried chicken dish really good. No wait time.
