    Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered the Combination Pho, Vermicelli Lemongrass Pork, Egg Rolls (Summer Rolls), BBQ Pork Wonton Soup, and Shrimp/Pork Rolls (Spring Rolls). Overall, decently priced and great portions. Conveniently located next to an Asian Market and stores. All their dishes were flavorful and delicious. Staff are fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean. Lots of parking and tables to dine on.

    I always come here for an early Pho or vietnamese noodle soup fix. The Pho are always tasty and fast service. The order size is big but they also have small sizes. I always order the winyon soup with roast pork. And today i tried the #25 Rice and special egg noodle soup with shrimp, pork and chicken and it was delicious.

    #41 comes w dipping sauce and side of broth

    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:)'

    Ready for some yummy pho

    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 .

    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!

    So fresh and so clean.
    Annie P.

    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.

It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place.

He asked if we wanted it hot or warm. We ordered it warm and in hindsight we wish we'd ordered it hot but it was still perfect for a chocolate fix. He even brought out a candle for the cake when he found out her birthday was coming up the following week. I also ordered a cheesecake and we shared each other's desserts. Needless to say we had plenty to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed it the following day as well and at a hotter temperature that was perfect with soft serve ice cream.

Not many restaurants in Houston offer Takowasa, which is marinated raw octopus with wasabi; and when we find one that does, it's our must order for appetizers. We also ordered the chicken karaage and agedashi tofu. The karaage was juicy and slightly larger than the size of popcorn chicken. The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.

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.
