    #41 comes w dipping sauce and side of broth
    Patricia D.

    Me and my daughter come here once a week. Quick service and everything is always delicious. We always get a large 41 to share. The pork is so crispy and flavorful, the dry noodles are a nice alternative when you don't feel like pho, and the broth is tasty. We love this place so much.

    This used to be where the Pho Danh used to be next to the Hong Kong Supermarket. I'm usually a person who doesn't order the pho bowl but another noodle soup, however, this time I wanted to go back to my roots. Portion was good! Broth was delicious! Service was good! Che Thai was delicious! I'm actually craving for it now while I'm typing this!! Overall, it's been a while I've had a good bowl of pho. I usually don't put the hoisin and sriracha in the broth until I've tasted the broth. I know it's good pho when I don't even have to put it in at all and this is one place I didn't! That's saying a lot! I give a Truc-a-Licious rating of 5/5 stars!!!

    Pork with. Veggies and noodles.

    Went here yesterday for lunch after picking up a few things at the Hong Kong Market. Walking in through the front door I knew it was going to be good. The place was spotless, quiet music playing in the background, clean tables, and staff attentive as soon as you walked in. I ordered the spring rolls and were stuffed with pork and shrimp. They came with a good peanut sauce. As for the main dish, the #34. A noodle salad loaded with veggies and pork. So very good and large portions of pork. This place is great and highly recommend it for a good quiet lunch.

    Not Just another PHO place don't get me wrong I like Veit PHO but the owner here is Thai so they do Thai soup too. So this is why we travel about 30 minutes here about once a month the boat noodles are the best but also Yen da pho is delicious:)'

    Awe I loved my to go experience here . The staff was very sweet and the older woman behind the counter is probably just the most adorable thing you could ever meet . I ordered the # 17 with extra tendon for $2 because I'm a greedy little bird and love love tendon in my pho . The broth was pretty tasty nothing super interesting as far as flavors go but it was a tasty classic beef broth which I enjoyed very much . The meat servings are very generous & I was satisfied for how much extra tendon I got for $2. I haven't had pho this enjoyable in a while I wasn't feeling super great upon pick up so I appreciated the prompt and kind service along with the delicious food I will definitely be returning .

    So fresh and so clean.

    Clean, attentive, and delicious. Fresh veggie plates for our bowls of happiness was the winner besides the authentic flavors of our food. Surely will visit again to try their Thai boat noodles.

    Nothing like one on one with my daddy with Pho. I wanted to share a priceless moment on yelp.

    Daughter and Father occasional brunch spot! My daddy and I have been coming here for years! This place is nice and spacious not to mentioned perfect for that intimate talk as ironic as it may be in a large place. Their Pho has to be one of the best in the North of Houston and my ultimate fave is #24 Pho with chicken, pork and camaron (shrimp) like our kind server said. The flavors are always consistent and a significant bowl size whether you get the small or large bowl. Not only their amazing pho makes this spot the place for the obvious reason but I admire that eventhough it is a Vietnamese establishment the server went out of her way to speak Spanish to us since my dad speaks primarily Spanish and she did not have to do that but I think that experience made me love this place even more! p.s. I love their Spring rolls, they actually taste fresh!

The patio area is my favorite if Houston's weather is blessing us I'm always sitting outside I usually get the CRUNCHY" CHICKEN sandwich with either side of Pozole or the chips so crispy and made in the moment. I've had other items the burger the salad the salmon they've always been fees and flavorful, I cannot recommend one thing because everything tastes great! Best place for a cute date or get together with friends family this place has it all! Check out their seasonal items they're always changing and they absolutely worth trying ****** GREEN POZOLE!!'

    Came in to eat on a Saturday night around 8PM. They take walk ins, but we made reservations and I…read moream so glad we did. Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea.

We got there 15 minutes before to make sure we could find parking. They have a small lot but all the spaces were taken despite being before 6 pm on a weekday. And a few spots had noticeable broken glass so be careful. We fortunately found street parking close by; double checked the signs because I ain't getting towed for nothing. Then I double checked inside with staff to make sure where I parked was ok. On to the food: we got several happy hour appetizer items: soy garlic wings, Brussels sprouts, bao bun, roasted oysters. All was good but not amazing. I then ordered the pho tai chinh for myself - I was quite impressed with the portions and the price! Wifey got the lemongrass pork banh mi - good but not amazing. Overall I would say the food taste and portions were good, but note this is elevated Asian cuisine, so it'll run you $20-$30 minimum. Now the service - definitely super friendly staff. It was our first time there so maybe they brought out the extra friendliness. Even the chef came out and greeted us to make sure we liked the food. Waitress was very kind and checked on our table a LOT. Almost too much. Overall a good experience, yummy food, not a fan of the parking (a common problem in the Heights), and expensive for Asian food but that's expected. Enjoy!

    Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

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.
