    Banh MI Ga Nuong
    Nancy A W.

    We came here for lunch so my husband could have some pho. I forgot to take a photo of his meal but he had the F1. Pho Dac Biet. He enjoyed it. I was happy to see they served Vietnamese sandwiches so I ordered the S4. Banh Mi Ga Nuong and accidentally ordered the fried egg with it. The staff member apologized for not understanding me. I enjoyed the sandwich.

    Love they put the meats separately pho lean beef, brisket, and meatballs

    My normal pho place is closed on Sunday and I was craving it since I was a bit under the weather. The reviews seemed good so I thought I would try them out, but they were not as good as my typical spot. The place is bigger than it looks in the outside and the staff were ok. As I made a to go order I cannot say how service is in house. Food: The appearance of the food was exciting because everything was packaged separately, but finally eating changed things. First the pho noodles were flat noodles and not the typical noodle found in pho which I thought was taking away the experience of the pho. The lean beef had ginger in the bag but it worked nicely. The broth was light but had nice flavor. The egg rolls were overly fried and I could taste the grease plus the dipping sauce was thin and had a weird carrot slice in it so I did not try. As far as the ban mi the meat was flavored perfectly and the best part of my order. If I did return I would not order the pho but I would try some other things off the menu.

    I've been to Pho Nguyen several times, and my only real complaint is that it seems the quality of the pho broth is not consistent. The first couple of times I tried it, I thought it was literally the best pho I've ever had. After that, it has never been quite as good as the first time. It's like the proportions of spices are not the same each time for some reason. That being said, it is still quite good, and worth trying! The restaurant is clean, and they serve a carafe of pH adjusted water (Kangen Water, if I'm not mistaken) with stainless steel cups when you sit down. The service is pretty good, though we have had items ordered and charged, but never delivered on two occasions I can remember. There was never any issue having them removed from the bill. I think the staff just gets a bit overwhelmed at times - this place seems to do a lot of business. It's always been at least half full every time I've been there. As side note, I noticed that the restaurant has a You Tube channel silver Creator Award on the wall, signifying 100K subscribers. The channel is named "Thanh Long Tieng", but the only channel by that name I can find has nothing to do with food, so I'm not sure of the significance of that or how it's related to the restaurant. I'll have to ask next time!

    Grilled Porkchop Rice Plate

    Such an amazing experience! My first time here with my boyfriend we had the chicken fried dumplings as an appetizer. These were crispy, juicy and all the right flavors! For our mains I got the grilled pork chop rice platter and he got the grilled chicken rice platter. We both got an egg on top and everything was delicious. The pork chop was so flavorful and reminded me of my mom's cooking. Service was incredible as well! Definitely a hidden gem , come check them out!!

    Woweeee. This might be the best pho I have ever had!! Who knew it'd be in Houston, TEXAS?! My friend (who is from Vietnam) told me to try this pho joint, so naturally I got the $14.50 XL bowl of F1 pho dac biet. There was a ginger taste, which I haven't experienced with pho in Los Angeles. The noodles are also thicker (and cooked softer) than what I'm used to in LA. The bun cha ha noi $13.50 was also delicious. I saw a lot of older Vietnamese grandmas eating this around me. It came with two servings: one bowl of grilled meat in fish sauce and one plate with vermicelli and herbs. They served a small side of garlic and spice that added so much flavor to the dish. I had to ask for more, and they happily obliged! The egg rolls were also pretty good! This restaurant is a ways out of the Bellaire area, so I can see how that can deter fans from frequently more regularly. There's a good sized parking lot though, so that was nice. Restroom was in the back, but it was quite dirty. They also ran out of soap..

    It's been a long time since I've had such delicious and authentic Hanoi-style Bún Chả. The grilled meat was tender, and there was plenty of fresh herbs and noodles to go with it. I also tried the Phở, fried rice, and spring rolls. I found the prices to be reasonable considering the quality of the food.

    i've been coming here for years, today i ordered my normal pho tai after eating i just scoop a bite and this disgusting chunk of hair was it!!!!!! i'm african american this is definitely not my hair i can never go back here. When I called to tell them he said im sorry I'll let them know and hung up. Someone called back and apologized but unfortunately I do not want another.

    My wife wanted Bun cha Sai Gon.
    Brett B.

    FYI, we always go out to eat in the afternoon to avoid the crowds wherever we go eat. So, this was around 3:30 afternoon, we're the only ones here, but there's a few people picking up take out. The food was ready in less than 10 min and hot. Although it cools quickly due to the AC. My wife said that the Bun cha Ha Noi is the best she's had outside of Vietnam. The bun thit nuong Sai Gon was just the right amount for me too. And good flavor, we need hotter chili though. Anyway a good place tucked alongside the Hwy 6 overpass.

    Been here twice. My first experience was nice the service is good and the food is good besides the dirty cups. Came for dinner tonight and unfortunately i found a very long hair in my spring roll that ruined the whole experience and my appetite.

    Wow. Glad we checked this out while in the r Galleria area. We saw this restaurant on TV as a top…read morerated NY deli. Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average. We split an open face pastrami (which they brought an extra plate) and we are glad we did. The potato salad is tiny. Too much sandwich for one but not enough potato salad for two! The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet. We also had the apple pie alamode. Also pricey and gigantic. It was warm and delicious. Glad we tried this icon. We went at lunch and they get quite the crowd. You are not rushed at all. You can even take some bakery items to go--if you are too full to eat there. Amazing selection of cookies, rugala, black and white cookies and more.

    A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

One friend had the Thai steak salad and I had the veggie burger made with quinoa, beets and other vegetables. Wow...is what I will say!!!
