#12 large!
Jorge A.

Added some pics since my review, but still loving this spot! This is my MFing spot!! I used to go to another spot closer to me off of barker cypress, but eventually I could never get through to place phone orders. On top of that a good friend of mine said I need to go back to this spot, so it all ended up working out. It had been years since I had been back to Pho Saigon, but I'm so glad it all happened this way. The pho is straight better than the old spot I used to frequent, plus their Vietnamese egg rolls are sooooo good. I usually get the #12 large and eat all of it, and of course drink the broth I have left over. Easy to phone in your order then walk in and pick it up no problem. They also recently added a rewards program that I'm all about, plus they're already cheaMy fav pho spot in the area.

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

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!

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. (#3) Boh-Neh. Not bone.

It's walkable from the George R Brown Convention Center and the Marriott Marquis where we found ourselves for a staycation in Houston. I've been to Huynh's many times but it had been a while since I don't frequent downtown nor the medical center as much as I used to. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's only a 5 minute walk from Marriott Marquis. We walked in late on a Saturday evening (the night of an Astros game down the street at Daikin Park) around 8 pm. We were promptly seated, and the service overall was very good. Everyone was friendly and attentive. My glass of water was always full. We ordered a standard large pho with 4 meats. At first I thought the broth looked a little light, but overall it was delicious. Grilled pork vermicelli with egg roll was amazing as expected. And lastly the pan fried noodle seafood plate was a hit. Everything we ordered and ate was great and we devoured it all. I will say that Huynh's is pricey, so don't think this is like cheap Asian takeout. It's quite nice in terms of ambiance despite the tight parking and surrounding businesses being a bit dingy.

My kids were on a mission to find a great-tasting bowl of pho, so we came across Old Saigon. And…read morewith a name like that, it has to taste homemade, right? The restaurant was easy to find, right off Main Street, and parking was a breeze. When we walked in, the restaurant had a modern look with a beautiful mural celebrating the homeland. We were greeted and told to sit wherever we'd like, so we picked a table and settled in. Our server came by with the menus, napkins, utensils, and plates, all neatly stacked, and then gave us some time before coming back to take our order. We ordered several different bowls of pho so everyone could try something -- salmon, steak and meatballs, and the combo (đặc biệt). Of course, we also had to try their dry pho. We also noticed they had a mango salad with a choice of protein, and since that sounded intriguing, we decided to give that a try too. The mango salad came out first, and I'm honestly still not quite sure how I feel about it. The mango was tart, and there was a creamy element that gave the salad an interesting texture and flavor. I did really like the grilled shrimp, though. Out of the protein options, I'd recommend the shrimp with this salad, although I could also see chicken pairing well with the flavors. Then came the pho. We tried several different broths, and they were all flavorful on their own. I didn't feel like they needed anything added unless you prefer extra spice or seasoning. I also really appreciated how generous they were with the basil. There was plenty to go around, which is always a win when you're eating pho! As we finished up, our server came back to the table with our check and small spoons filled with what looked like crème brûlée. We asked her what it was, and she said she didn't know. We mentioned that it looked like crème brûlée, and she agreed before walking away. I'm not sure if this was something complimentary, a leftover from another dish, or something we were supposed to know about, but it was definitely an unexpected ending to the meal. If you know what this was, I'd love to know! Overall, we'd definitely come back. The food was great, the pho was flavorful, and there were plenty of options for everyone. The service could use a little improvement. Our server seemed to have some difficulty communicating in English, and we could have used a few water refills during the meal. Nothing major -- we probably just needed to speak up more. Good food, easy parking, a nice atmosphere, and a family-friendly menu. We'd come back to try more of what Old Saigon has to offer.

The spring rolls were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The dipping sauce they packed for both the spring rolls and pork bowls had a faint flavor of something that could have had potential, but did not deliver. There was a small garnish of pickled onions and shredded carrot that went so well with the pork bowls. If they included more of that, the bowls would have been star status. But they didn't. And they weren't. Overall, I had a decent lunch. Maybe next time I'll dine in to see if that makes a difference.
