Apart from having one of the more memorial names (#1) that I've seen in the greater Houston pho-cosystem, Pho Oh Yeah (Which shall be referred to as "POY" from this point on) is a genuinely a decent option in Katy. For starters, being a Halal option is an incredibly rare. There are only a handful of Vietnamese places that have some Halal dishes, but POY is certified as a Halal based establishment. The have a dedicated section of the menu and the certification proudly displayed as one enters the restaurant. The interior is bright, festive, clean and well maintained. They have the classic marble top tables, one of the most prominent furniture pieces in any Viet spot. There is no shortage of space for groups and parking is definitely abundant. Speaking of abundant, the menu reflects some of the most intense variety I've seen at a Viet spot. The pho variety alone has more than 20 choices, ranging from a kid's size to a $40 1 pounder of beef tenderloin (#2). Sirloin pincanha is also featured on numerous things from pho to banh mi to bun dishes, along with short rib and the usual meaty suspects (#3). Their pho gets a thumbs up for broth and portion, and the fresh herb condiments are appreciated. Goi cuon and nem cuon were also a thumbs up and were nicely packed with proteins and veggies. While the bun bo hue wasn't as spicy as my group would have enjoyed, it still was nicely portioned and was fulfilling in other ways. Topping it off with a nice Vietnamese coffee (in a branded to-go cup no less) is always a recommendation. The owner is one of the most eclectic personalities I've seen at a restaurant. He's personable, amusing, and always makes everyone in my party feel like they're right at home. The staff is attentive and while the prices are higher than the average Viet spot, the customer service makes it all worth returning. __________ (#1) OH YEAH (#2) Affectionately called "Pho Oh yeah Filet Mignon" (#3) Tendon, round, brisket, meatball, seafood, chicken, etc. read more

This has been my go to place for a quick solo lunch when I'm running errands around the Katy area. I hate that we don't have really good Asian food around here but found this place and it's actually pretty decent! It's not the best but it's good! It'll help suffice my cravings for Bun Bo Hue. I've been here maybe 5 times in the past 6 months. I like that fact that they have the special for $14.95 during weekdays. You can pick between pho or bun bo hue, tea or soda and either an eggroll or spring roll. All this for under $20 with tip?! That's a pretty good deal! Especially now when eating out so expensive! The bun bo hue was nice and hot when it came out. Love the crisp veggies with it. Only complaint was the spring roll.. it was just way too much vermicelli! lol I need more veggies and herbs in it but still good nonetheless. But I'll opt for an eggroll next time. Overall, I enjoyed this place. Will keep coming back for this special when I'm out and about. read more

We came during dinner time, so there was a busy parking lot; however, plenty of tables inside. At the time, the restaurant wasn't too loud. For food, I got the medium-sized pho. The meat was plenty and not too chewy and had fresh vegetable toppings. As for the broth, I prefer a lighter one compared to the one I had, as it was a bit dark and heavy. Overall, it's not a bad place to get some quick pho on the go or with others! read more

Pho Oh Yeah - Medium Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Katy, Texas

The services were nice and the food was great! We came from California just to try out the food and the friendly environment.

They have a special separate menu for halal meat-- say less. I have yet to eat inside of this establishment, but we have picked up from here, and my go to so far has been the bahn mi. I'm not brave enough to pho and drive. Perhaps one day we will eat in here and try their different soups, because I do love a good soup, but for now, I wanted to comment on how they seemed happy to be there. I feel like that makes a huge difference in the environment. Yes, having a clean place is a huge priority for patrons, as well as professionalism, but I really enjoy what I see employees kind of hanging out with each other and smiling and laughing. It just feels a lot more welcoming. And that's a reason enough for me to want to come back. read more

3.5 Stars Came here because Pho Dien sold out. We were seated right away. The pho was solid 4/5. Nothing remarkable. The cleanliness was icky. The basil they gave us was rotten. There was trash left on the floors on the tables around us. The table was not properly washed. There's like old school movie instrumental soundtracks playing like A Time for Us or Godfather while they have four tv's in each corner- one showing news and the other three showing what I assume is the owner showing different things to eat. Even though there was multiple parties the restaurant was quiet and service was a bit slow. Otherwise solid pho. read more

Save your money -- do NOT eat here. Before ordering the P24 Short Ribs pho, I specifically asked the server if the meat was fall-off-the-bone and good quality. He told me it was. When the dish came out, the short ribs were extremely overcooked and basically inedible. The meat was tough, chewy, stuck to the bone, and clearly low quality. I brought this up and asked if there was anything they could do -- even offered to switch to a different meat and pay if needed -- but the server said there was nothing he could do and offered zero solutions. No attempt to fix the issue, no alternative, nothing. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience. Poor food quality and even worse customer service. I won't be coming back. read more

Pho Oh Yeah - P24. Short Rib Pho (Noodle Soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Katy, Texas

hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to -- and that includes California. There is no better Vietnamese food in California than this place, which says everything about how authentic and high-quality it is. The flavors are rich, traditional, and unmistakably authentic. The pho is perfectly balanced, deeply comforting, and tastes like it was made with generations of experience. Every dish is fresh, bold, and full of soul -- the kind of food you remember long after the meal is over. read more

We went for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Empty house the manager looked at us then took less than 5 minutes to greet us. Another 10 to place order,not very helpful nor welcoming, we order we get a rice noodle dish and brisket & tendon pho, the soup home 1st with ROTTEN bean sprouts hidden under a VERY skimpy amount of herbs3 pieces of jalapeños &1slice of thinly cut lime. I was amazed that they even tried that, soggy&rotten nasty stuff it took 10 minutes to get new but wait there is more- still no second dish meat for grilling was frozen and needed to be nuked to thaw not good, imagine NOODLE soup at A NOODLE soup house was with the wrong noodles, they used vermicelli, which tasted old Finally after an additional tens minutes now about 40, the 2nd meal arrives it sucked as well 20 minutes after that we finally were able to leave, Pho Saigon is better just down the street, sadly what a waste of time and money, don't waste either. They knew about the subpar food- the "cook" stood at the kitchen door yammering in some gibberish, glaring at me yet the food was still crap & as I stated above DO NOT waste your time nor money for a business so obviously indifferent to the situation, serving rotten bean sprouts, microwaving food and behaving as if this occurs everyday and perhaps it does Yuck read more

This place was referred to us by my husband's barber. We had the Pho Tai, pork eggrolls, grilled pork springrolls and Brazilian lemonade. Restaurant was clean and the staff were attentive.

Great ambiance and authentic Vietnamese food. I recommend eating here if you want a nice and quieter restaurant with great service !

We ordered through DoorDash, and it was totally worth it! The broth for both the pho and the hue spicy noodle soup was absolutely delicious. The pho could have used a bit more meat, but the spicy noodle soup more than made up for it with a generous variety of meats. Super satisfying, even for delivery! Definitely visiting in person to get a feel of the flow of the restaurant, service, and ambiance. Ofcourse to get the spicy noodle soup again! read more

Tonight was our 2nd time dining here. The place is clean and the waitstaff is attentive. My husband and daughter had beef pho and they said it was really good. I had bun bo hue and it's legit. The flavors are spot on. I've never had meatballs in bun bo hue before but it was pretty good. I've tried bun bo hue at our restaurants around Houston and it's not as good as this place. The fried rice was good as well as the egg rolls. The last time we were here we had rice and pork chop and it was really good too. I highly recommend this place. read more

Pho Oh Yeah - Bun Bo N1. Oh Yeah Hue Spicy Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Katy, Texas

Overpriced. Average food. Great atmosphere/service. Pretty decent for Halal Viet Cuisine. This place is very clean. The servers are nice and makes sure you're good to go. There's a bunch of TV's around of the famous Viet food YouTuber, Viet Thao, giving his review of this place. Very fun and interesting to watch (and a great convo starter). They offer Halal options on a separate menu than the original. My friend said the food was pretty good but overpriced. Bun Bo Hue (3/5): The broth was extremely lacking. While there was plenty of meat, most of it was over-cooked and rubbery. I was really disappointed by the pork bone because it should be soft and melt in your mouth. If you're looking to eat traditional Vietnamese food, find your nearest mom and pop shop because it will be cheaper and more flavorful. For Halal, it pretty decent. Verdict: Hype is not worth it. read more

on the hunt for good bun rieu west of houston. place is relatively clean inside. no issues finding parking. so what's weird is bun rieu isn't on the menu but if you ask they have it. the parties that came in after me also ordered it. first thing i noticed was the huge the serving was. it was loaded. quantity doesn't always mean quality but overall i very much enjoyed their bun rieu. they added shrimp in there which was new to me but hey who doesn't like shrimp. they used meatballs instead of cha too. but was good. the rieu was incredibly tender and lotsa crab. the broth was decent. my wife got bun bo hue and the broth was amazing. would come back here again if craving bun rieu and didn't want to drive to bellaire. it hit the spot and great value for your money read more

Food is really good with specific focus on their pho and chicken egg rolls. Honestly, some of the best we have ever had and therefore the 4 stars. It is an easy 5 star restaurant if the service was not beyond horrific. We are not the first to complain about this. It boggles the mind. Why have outstanding food yet receive scathing reviews on service and not fix it. It will be the end of you. Trust us! Fire them all and retrain all your service staff. It is that bad! Potential to be a top pho restaurant. Not only in Katy but in Houston. Fix the front of your store and see your review improve dramatically. read more

We came here with inlaws that know about the celebrity (?) that opened up this restaurant. Upon entering, the restaurant had a pretty outdated 90s vibe and the printed menus were also looked like they were the product of a home printer instead of a professionally printed product. The menu looked pretty standard compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. Pho, BBH, vermicelli dishes etc. The menu prices were about 40-50% higher than a Vietnamese restaurant in Bellaire. Pho and such were $15 instead of the usual $7-9. Same with the entire menu pretty much. The taste of all of the dishes were fine. I've had better pho and better bun bo hue in Houston at a lower price point. Service was pretty much; you order, we bring you food, we take your plates. Nothing extraordinary and for the price, this definitely wasn't worth it and there are much better options at a lower price point and at the same price point. I don't know who this celebrity is, but it kinda seems like a Vietnamese Guy Fieri opening a restaurant and hoping the hype carries it; I hope it does because the food isn't impressive at all. read more

It's exciting to see halal Vietnamese options here. However, the service here is the WORST!! Our server came up to one side of our table and barked "what do you want?" This is not how you ask customers what they would like to order. She did not repeat our order back. Our food didn't arrive for 45 minutes. When we finally received it, it was all mixed and there were items missing. The server was arguing with us that this is what we had ordered when clearly we hadn't. It seemed like she wanted to leave the unordered dishes at our table and make us pay for them! We managed to flag down another server and expressed to her our concerns. She apologized on her behalf. We never received an apology from our ordinal server. We will not be returning here. Disappointing because we enjoyed the banh mi and pho. read more

Pho Oh Yeah - Pho Beef - P10. Eye Round and Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Katy, Texas

I hate to give out low star but this place it's horrible. We were here today for lunch at around 1pm. The place was half full with lots of dirty tables that weren't clean from previous customers. The floor was filled with trash that hasn't clean and picked up. They sat us down and after 10 minutes we still waiting to see the menu. We literally had to get up and went to the counter to get the menu ourselves. Then it took almost an hour for the food to come. They were pretty much well staffs at least 4 servers on the floor but who knows what happened behind the scene. Servers were not friendly at all. When we asked extra veggies for our soup noodles she didn't seemed happy about the request. I had to tell her, you served 4 bowls of noodle and gave us one tiny plate of veggie, it wasn't enough. If you eat Vietnamese food then you know the condiments came with the noodle soup and it's a must. Food was Ok nothing out of ordinary. We do have plenty of Vietnamese restaurants in town to choose. Price range is way over price. The owner is from California so he sure has the Californian price on the menu. Well good luck to the new owner but for sure I won't be back. read more

I was excited to stumble upon this place in the Katy area. I placed a takeout order for their Brisket Pho and couldn't imagine it being less-than-good. Unfortunately, the broth was cold, the meat was fully raw, and the condiments were stale. Not great. Based on a number of positive reviews, there must have been a mix-up. Please note: This review reflects my one-time/last-time visit. read more

KATY, TX / VIETNAMESE/ 01-22-22 / TAKEOUT BRUNCH +The customer service was excellent. Warm greeting by the cashier, and the staff offered me water while I waited for my to-go order. +The take-out packaging was well executed. +The Summer Rolls were good. +The broth was full of flavor and the noodles were cooked just right; al dente enough for the soup to cook it a little more. +The pho meats were well-prepared and sliced nicely. +The restaurant was fairly clean. +They open a little earlier than other Vietnamese spots. -The sriracha and hoisin sauce packets were not something we're used to. Would like to see the original Huy Fong Foods brand and a less suspicious hoisin/oyster sauce. -Disposable plastic bowls would be a nice-to-have. It was a great take-out experience. Definitely going to have to check out other items on the menu. Give them some Yelp love, y'all! read more

Visited this place because my parents and I wanted to see MC Viet Thao and try out his food. Truly did NOT disappoint. Place was very clean and all of the staff were super kind. Of course MC Viet Thao himself was great, took the time to chat with us and having a good time. Parents had pho, which they said was good. I had the Oh Yeah Vermicelli and I really liked it. Meat was grilled and seasoned perfectly. At the end MC Viet Thao wanted us to try out his Banh Mi on the house (btw highly recommend), I thought that was real sweet and generous of him bc he really didn't have to. Definitely coming back for more of that Banh Mi and trying out his other dishes! read more

Came here from CA and was thrilled to see Mr. Viet Thao. He came by our table and asked if everything was ok and literally made us feel welcomed in his "home". I ordered the infamous Pho Picanha and have to admit it's pretty good. The broth is light but rich in flavor. The rice noodle is cooked perfectly and the Picanha is oh so delicious! Each piece of meat is thick but yet so tender and you can definitely taste the freshness of it. We also ordered the Seafood Eggrolls served with a side of sauce and the Bun Rieu so large that 2 people can share! I would definitely come back when I visit Texas again. read more

I grew up watching the travel segment of Van Son and I'd say that's where I learned a majority of my Vietnamese during my younger years so when I found out I was headed out to Houston for a work trip, I had to make a pit stop here for nostalgic purposes. It was a rainy day but my excitement to try the legendary MC Viet Thao's restaurant knew no bounds. The interior of the restaurant is very nostalgic and is what you'd imagine when you think of a Vietnamese restaurant from the early 2000s. Videos of Viet Thao are playing in every corner and his face is on the menu. The man is proud of his food and wants you to feel that same happiness he feels when he digs into a plate of food and I can respect that mindset haha Also, in terms of service, maybe it was because I'm Vietnamese but I personally think that it's objectively above average when comparing it to other Vietnamese restaurants of similar type/price points. However, it looked like they were pretty efficient and kind in handling the other guests while I was there. Their restroom is also clean which is always a good sign in my eyes! I came alone so I didn't get a chance to try everything I wanted so I ended up just ordering the Pho Picanha because it piqued my interest. When my food came out, I couldn't help but giggle because it was visually a peculiar dish. The fat caps of the picanha floated to the top so it looked like a bunch of steak squares were floating in my bowl but once I picked it up, I realized that I had a bunch of picanha strips in my bowl! For the price ($20) and how much picanha I had, I'd say it's well worth it. The pho is pretty good for the Houston area and I'd be willing to come back out to try the other top items here. I was about to order some more food to-go because of how satisfied I was but I had a flight to catch so I unfortunately wouldn't have been able to take it with me. read more

Pho Oh Yeah - Shaking beef. - Vietnamese Near Me - Katy, Texas

Pros: I wasn't expecting to love this place, but I did! Went with a part of 8 people. 3 had pho. Sister got the che. Really liked it. I had the spring rolls, traditional egg rolls, and picanha banh mi. The picanha was so good. Tender and flavorful. I'll be craving this when I go home to Oklahoma. Dad had the bo luc lac. We all liked it. Flavorful. Melt in your mouth little bits of beef. My mom had the bun Bo hue. She thought they gave lots and lots of meat. Very generous portions. She also got the sugarcane drink. Which she thought was just like what she had growing up in Vietnam. The owner came out at the end of our meal. Brought us seafood enrolls to try. I was leery cause I hate seafood eggrolls, but these were so amazing. No fishy taste. Full of huge chunks of seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid, etc.) Cons: the prices are higher than other places in town, but my mother said it's worth it because of the quality of their food. Meat is if good quality and fresh. My mom thinks there is little to no msg in the food; which she considers very good. But my husband loves msg so he considers it a con. read more
