    Shrimp spring rolls with no bean sprouts  2. Fresh Spring Roll   Goi Cuon
    Brianna H.

    Wanted to try chicken pho for the first time and found this restaurant came nicely reviewed so we decided to give it a try. The staff is properly attentive, when we walked in we were immediately seated. The waiter came back by to ask what we wanted to drink, we also decided to order our appetizer and meal at that time. I ordered shrimp spring rolls with no bean sprouts. We also ordered vegetarian spring rolls. The spring rolls were fresh, and the peanut sauce was tasty! We really appreciated their willingness to modify them for us. The chicken pho came out quick and it was delicious. Very light, fragrant, and delicious. I ordered a large, and it was enough to eat for lunch and dinner. I also ordered extra rice noodles so when I ate it later I had some noodles left that weren't soggy. Sometime while we were eating they brought the bill and then when I was ready to leave I was able to bring it up to the register to pay. I love this as I don't have to wait on the waiter to come around. They also don't pressure you to leave which is nice.

    #15. Pho Tai Bo Vien - Small Bowl

    Best pho spot here so far! The food is just as amazing as its counterpart in the Katy area. We got here at 12pm on a Sunday and didn't have to wait for a table like we usually do in Katy. The ambiance is calm and nicely decorated. My pho broth was on point and super flavorful. I will definitely be coming back again and again.

    One of the better Pho restaurants in this area of town. Broth is nice and clear with good flavor. Decent amount of protein. Good prices as well!

    THE WORST PHO EXPERIENCE EVER A coworker/friend recommended that I give this place a try because he and his wife are fans and speak so highly of it. I must say though, I HATED IT! I was starving when I arrived. Upon entering, I was greeted by a joker-type smiley face small and friendly hostess, lol. She was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I'm giving them two stars based on her bubbly personality alone. She was such a sweetheart. However, if I were rating this establishment on cleanliness, customer service, and quality of food alone, I would give them zero stars. First off, there was a weird aroma floating around in the atmosphere like the smell of a dirty mop, which can only mean that the floors are being mopped with a dirty mop. The stench was so overwhelming that I couldn't smell the aroma of the food cooking in the kitchen, which was really weird because a restaurant is supposed to smell like food is being cooked. I did not smell any cooked food aromas wafting in the atmosphere. The dining area wasn't clean and the tables and chairs were old and rotting wood. There was white tape on all of the legs of the dining chairs which appeared negligent and tasteless. I noticed that there was not too many guests dining but there were many to-go orders being picked up. The ambience was noisy like that of a hospital cafeteria, dull and drably. Secondly, the older lady that took my order was not friendly at all and she was sort of rude in her approach towards me. As I was sitting at the table waiting for service, she walked over to me and handed me a menu and asked me what I want to order and if it's for dine-in or to-go. I told her that it is a to-go order and I asked if they had shrimp Pho. She was snappy and short in her response to my question informing me that they do not have shrimp pho as an option but they have seafood Pho. After finding it on the menu and reading what type of seafood is in it, while she was hovering and towering over me, I decided to go with the seafood pho so she could stop standing over me with her impatient energy. I don't know why I spent my money at this place. I should have turned around and walked out. However, if I would have walked out, then I would not be able to share my thoughts with you all about this establishment. Furthermore, the seafood pho consists of crab meat, fish balls, squid, and shrimp. I was so excited to try it out because it sounded so appetizing. However, after I got home and opened my bags to look at my food, I discovered only one shrimp that was not fully deveined and two pieces of imitation crab meat. I was highly disappointed! I do not like imitation crab meat. To top it off, I was given chicken broth instead of beef broth, which was my fault for not specifically ordering the beef broth. However, at other Vietnamese Pho restaurants, I've always been asked for my preference on which flavored broth I would like, but not at this establishment. The customer service was very cold and unwelcoming. I truly regret my experience with this restaurant. It was a waste of my energy and money, but I guess you lose some and you win some. I'll take the L as a learning experience. Plus it gives me the opportunity to help some other poor soul about deciding if they should give this place a try. Trust me people, it's not worth it. Overall, this establishment did not sit well with me at all. They need to make some serious repairs on their building because it's old and smelly. They need to replace the tables and chairs and get with the program because presentation is everything. I will never return to give them a second chance unless these conditions are met.

    The food is so tasty with a variety of menu selections and the service is always great and pleasant.

    Hairs sticking out

    First and last time! The pork sandwiches meat are full of hairs all over!!!!!! when my husband took a bite it was so noticeable. I took a look at my sandwich and same thing. The only reason we order here was because our spot is close today on Wednesday . I was starving and this killed my appetite.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

    Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

I believe the crawfish is seasonal, so go during crawfish season because this pho was delicious. The crawfish were so tender and the pho was so flavorful. The beef dish was also so good to eat and balanced. The fried beef balanced so well with the fresh salad and rice. I will say that when we went the parking lot was a little deserted at night. I would definitely lock your doors and take all your valuables. But that's all or Houston, so just stay safe!

The guy who answered the phone wasn't the friendliest, but I decided to roll the dice anyway, and I'm glad I did because the food was solid. We started with the egg rolls. At $10.95 for five pieces, I thought they were a little pricey. They came out piping hot and fresh from the fryer with a great crunch, and the fish sauce was delicious. My only complaint was the lettuce--they only gave us one piece. What am I supposed to do with one piece of lettuce? The Canh Chua Tôm had the perfect level of sourness, exactly how I like it. The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the medium-sized bowl was a generous portion. The Cá Kho Tộ was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, though I would've liked just a touch more salt. Pair it with a bowl of rice and some soup, and it's hard to beat. Overall, this place was solid. Is it better than my grandma's? Absolutely not--but that's a tough standard to live up to. It definitely satisfied the craving, and yes, I'd come back.
