I was first introduced to pho tau bay back 15 years ago. I've since moved to Seattle. Every time, I come back to Houston, this is one of the places at top of my list. Over the years, the quality has stayed consistent. Every time I come back and get my combo A with pho dac biet and spring rolls or egg rolls, it feels like I'm home. It just hits. I love the vermicelli bowls also. I've never been disappointed with this place which is why I definitely recommend this place. By the way, you can't get the combos to go. read more

The service and fast and the food is excellent! I can't wait to return! I started off with a Thai tea (you can't change the sweetness so too bad!) I had and order (which came with 2) spring rolls. I should have only eaten one but the second one was calling my name. Then I had the delicious pork and shrimp plate. Everything was delicious. I was jealous of my friend who order the chicken bahn mi. It looked so good and she said it delicious and ate it all. When we went to pay at the counter they nice gentleman gave us a bottled water! I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS!!! I wasn't feeling too well and was craving for something light to soothe my stomach without aggravating it. I immediately thought about some delicious Pho soup because it's soothing to the soul when one is sick with the flu or cold, or when one is just having some plain old stomach complications like myself. I have this weird stomach condition where certain foods upset my stomach like tomatoes, nuts, spicy foods, raw jalapeños, oranges, pineapples, etc, which are all foods that I enjoy. Bomber! Firstly, I had never visited this establishment until today. I knew of other Pho establishments where I could get some great tasting Pho, but I've always wanted to give this place a try. So, I thought to myself, "Hey, today is the perfect day to give this place a try." Secondly, upon entering, I was not greeted properly, but instead I was gawked at like a foreigner in an unknown land or time. Finally, after an uncomfortable thirty seconds or so of undesirable gawking, I was confronted by a male gentleman who was toting a menu in his hands. I greeted him, "Hello. How are you?" He immediately handed me the menu without so much as a, "hello," or "how are you?" I thanked him for the menu and asked him if they serve vegetable pho. He said yes and so I proceeded to order the vegetable pho soup with beef broth to go. After I paid my tab, I took a seat at one of the many available tables in the dining area. The dining area is spacious with clean tables, chairs, and floors. Kudos to them for that because I love cleanliness. Next, while I waited for my order, I thumbed through the menu that the gentleman handed me when I walked in. I took the liberty to take some photos of certain items such as their soups and their lunch menu specials. I also snapped a few shots of their golden Buddhas, which I'm obsessed with. As I was taking photos, I noticed the workers staring at me with confused looks on their faces, wondering why I was taking photos. Therefore, I ended my photo shoot, because I felt uncomfortable. Furthermore, when the gentleman that served me brought my order out to me, I thanked him and he mumbled something that I could not understand and then walked away. I proceeded to open the bag and check my order before leaving the restaurant just to verify it was correct. After checking it and seeing that everything was good to go, I began to close the bag and re-tie it. As I was doing this, the gentleman that served me walked up behind me and asked me if everything was correct. I told him yes that everything was correct and that it looks delicious and that I could not wait to get home to try it. I took this opportunity to also let him know that it was my first time at their restaurant, I am a Yelper, and that I do reviews on Yelp. When I said these words to him, his entire demeanor and attitude instantly changed. He perked up and smiled at me. Can you believe it? He smiled at me. Next, he said, "Oh you do review on Yelp! Yes, please give us a good review!" Lol hilarious! Overall, I enjoyed the vegetable Pho! It was absolutely delicious and soothing to my stomach. The beef broth was full of marinated robust flavors! Because of bad experiences at other Vietnamese establishments that don't peel the tail off the shrimp or devein the shrimp, I added my own shrimp to it when I got home. Therefore, I can't confirm how this establishment serves their shrimp pho. Would I return? I certainly would! However, I don't think I would dine-in because of the customer service. It's not too great. This review could have been five stars if the customer service would have been friendly and welcoming. It didn't sit well with my spirit how the man perked up and started to be nice to me after I told him I was taking photos for Yelp for my review that I planned on doing. As a result of this, I am giving three stars. read more

Consistently good food and great flavor. People who work there are very fast. Nice, casual and simple atmosphere to eat alone or with others. I like the spring and egg rolls, the pork sand which and brisket pho is tasty. read more

Giving this place one star because I have to rate something in order to write a review. The reviews I read on yelp.. completely shocked because I had the worst experience. I have never had a bad Vietnamese food experience. We ordered through Uber Eats and got two pork Banh Mi's, one beef banh mi, egg rolls, & dessert Che mau 3. All 3 banh mi's that we ordered were so dry and the bread was so hard and chewy that it was almost not edible. It felt like the bread was old old. The pork and beef were so dry!!! The egg rolls.... What.... It tasted like it was straight up minced garlic and taro.. under cooked . Che Mau 3... I literally threw the whole dessert away. The beans I think may have gone bad because something in the dessert tasted extremely sour. This location is not it for banh mi's , egg rolls, or Che. Do not order these items from here. I'm a regular for eating Vietnamese food in cypress and houston area and this Vietnamese restaurant is just not it! Please do not ever order the egg rolls.... I'm writing this review a day later and thinking about how the food tasted... those egg rolls were by far the worst egg rolls I have ever had. Imagine 3 cups of minced garlic wrapped with taro and a fried wonton wrapper. That's what it tasted like... (i love garlic but those egg rolls are not it). The gone bad Che Mau... still cringing from how sour it tasted. read more

I had there pho today and it was good. Someone mentioned it having a cinnamon taste in a review and I think that is fair to say. It is subtle but it is there. The quantity was decent. The prices look like they have gone up for pho from the menus posted on Yelp. It is closer to $11 for a regular size. Why the 3 stars? Honestly, I'm a big fan of mom and pop shops, but the person who took my order and the person who brought me my food were not very pleasant. Not welcoming and not a single smile or pleasantry. Not a thank you. They just looked so unhappy and not happy to have my business. If this kind of stuff does not bother you, you will be just fine eating here. If you enjoy even a semi smile, you won't want to eat here. read more

It may look like your average neighborhood Phở restaurant, but Phở Tau Bay is anything but! My friend told me about this place, it's her favorite. We ordered Bún Gà Nướng Sả (Rice vermicelli with grilled chicken), BÚN TÔM THỊT NƯỚNG (Rice vermicelli with grilled sliced pork & shrimp), and Phở Gà (Rice noodle chicken soup). I cannot describe how delicious all three dishes were. The broth in the Phở Gà has this sweet / savory taste and it's perfect! Both rice vermicelli bowls are not only pleasing to the eye with its variety of colors but they're also very full of delightful flavors! Don't let appearances fool you-- the restaurant may not seem like a lot from the outside but the interior is cozy and the dishes are fantastic. You will not be disappointed! Phở Tau Bay is perfect if you are craving comfort food. read more

This is the place for Pho when it's calling your name. Pho tau bay has become my go to spot any and every time I'm wanting the best Pho on this side of town. I've had every beef combination and can't go wrong with any of them. The spring rolls are always fresh, but the egg rolls are the best I've had in Houston thus far. The service is always nice and food is always fresh. I'll always be coming back here when I get the urge for Pho. read more

Pho Tau Bay - Beef Pho and Spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wanted to give their bún thịt nớng chả giò a try instead of my usual phở here which has an okay broth and good meats. The bowl had half veggies and half noodles w/ meat and the one piece of egg roll in it didn't had any carrots inside but pork and taro in it. Throughout eating this w/ the nớc mắm poured over and mixed along w/ the veggies, noodles, meat, and egg roll, I didn't tasted a whole lot until I was almost finished eating the noodles and some of the veggies. I noticed this time for the peanut sauce that came w/ the gỏi cuốn my parents ordered is that they added more chili garlic sauce than they used to but whenever I get that when ordering phở there I tell them to not add it since it's a bit too spicy for my liking. But they have really bomb gỏi cuốn here along w/ the sauce though and I'll still get my usual phở and gỏi cuốn here and occasionally their bún thịt nớng chả giò if I'm in a mood for it! :) read more

This is the best Pho we have ever been to, it is family run. Owner is involved but not overbearing. We have been going here for 10 years because it was 3 miles away. We moved away and now it's 15 miles away and we travel here passing up 4 other Vietnamese restaurants. Great food and fast service read more

I've been going to this place recently for the past 6 months and I have enjoyed the food they really put a lot of meat in the meal . The spring rolls are so compact and stuffed with so much shrimp and chicken. There peanut sauce is so good with the crushed up peanuts. This place is my go to place after the gym read more

Another year, another +1 on my continued adoration of this spot. It's gotten so they do not even ask me to order, they bring me the #7 lunch special without asking. Or maybe they just missed me as the holidays had interrupted my normal lunch schedule. Thank you Pho Tau Bay! read more

Great food and service most of the time! Most of the pho dishes are good, the Vietnamese eggrolls and spring rolls are great. Refills of tea and water are slow or nonexistent. The owner and son are really friendly. It is a must eat except on Sundays from 12-3 when church lets out. read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Texas! I've tried over 30 different spots between Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, but Pho Tau Bay takes the cake. They have the best peanut sauce of any of these restaurants by a landslide. I always enjoy the flavor of the beef and chicken pho, and the flavor has been consistent for years. The vermicelli bowls are on point, rice plates are insane when you add the fried egg, and the bahn mi are the best because of the type of bread they use. It's a fantastic quality bread that's slightly more airy than most pho shops use, and it always pairs well with a fried egg too. It's a family run pho shop. Don't expect a 5 star waiting service, but they do take care of you. Always clean inside. My family loves this place! read more

Food is always flavorful and well presented. I've been going there for about 8 years now and the service has always been great and consistent. It's a typical mom and pop location, older seating and older looking setting. Regardless, this is one of my favorite Pho locations! I always get the grilled shrimp & pork vermicelli with a side of beef broth and grilled pork spring rolls. Their pho broth is always AMAZING and their grilled pork is always consistently good. Let's just say I'm always full and satisfied when I leave. Will continue to come back! read more

This is our go to place! I love the owner and his family, very pleasant and friendly. Service is always quick and the food is soooo ONO (Delicious). Reminds me of being home! Aloha, Leilani read more

The service and food are impeccable! I was introduced when I was 15. I am now 24 and still a returning client! Recently went to have dinner with my family, and lost track of time, ended up leaving 3 minutes until closing time. However, not one comment or action was made to try to have us rushed out. Our waiter was also very kind and patient on informing my husband what was on our menu. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I've gone to to pho tau bay ever since I was little and still today the food tastes amazing and still is up and running. I am very happy that the restaurant and its recipes are the exact same no changes still the same amazing taste. Service could use some work but overall no complaints. Five starts. read more

Me and my family LOVED this place so much, mostly me. Yesterday I ordered out and ate at home. Later that night I had got food poisoning. From 8pm-3am i had real bad symptoms of food poisoning. Won't be ordering again.. read more

Ok so first time trying this place, the food was great. I got the pork banh mi the bread was very soft and the flavor was great. The yellow noodles were delish, the soup tasted so good and the shrimp was seasoned well. Now the service was not so good, we did carry out order . We were short a dish and also were given the wrong dish when I told them I missing one the man was like oh it's in there. But never was. I opened all the boxes and then he finally agreed that there was a missing item. It took them like 10 extra minutes to fix all that. Please train your employees to make sure the order is completed with the right stuff in the bag before Handing it to the customer. read more

This place is the bomb!! Every dish I selected is absolutely delicious. The soups, sandwiches, spring rolls and entrees - you cannot go wrong. They also have a large selection on their drinks. My personal favorite is the hot tea - Chrysanthemin (I know i spelled it wrong) The manager is very nice and yes, he works a lot on the premises. You gotta try this place - you will not be sorry read more

I tried the Chicken and Shrimp Vermicelli bowl. Know and understand the service is never the best. You usually have to ask for something and you will be serviced. I've also tried their Pho before and it's pretty good. There's nothing special but it's pretty good. read more

Pho Tau Bay - Chicken and shrimp vermicelli Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's my boyfriend's favorite and a like it, so we're here quite a bit. Probably my 2nd favorite sandwiches and I like the spring rolls too. I. Fact, sometimes, I just come and get myself 2 orders of spring rolls and that's all I eat. Mmm...spring rolls. The employees are nice, the food serves quick, the place is kept clean, and if a game is going, it's usually on. What more could I want? Only complaints: the lunch special does not extend to the weekends. And the sodas are by the can. I've tried the rice, the vermicelli, the sandwiches ... and of course, the spring rolls it's all pretty good. read more

So as far as Viet food, this is a stand up place and great price. Fast service, I had Pho the first time here and having the chicken vermicelli today. The problem is it's super cold out side and it's super cold inside, mind you I showed people at 11 am so they might have just turned on the AC. Another issue is that they have a TV and what's on is interesting because it's Super Bowl season but it's super dim because it's placed on the wall of windows read more

The Chicken Pho was Very Good!! My favorite Dish (: Great Service & Price Frendly people and the place is very Clean . read more

I've dined at many Vietnamese restaurants and have become a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to Pho soup. Pho Tau Bay is always busy at lunch, which bodes well when a restaurant has loyal customers. I've dined at Pho Tau Bay a few times as a way of sampling several different dishes over time. I've found that their portions are skimpy in contrast to other similar restaurants and I've often left hungry after a meal. I don't know what they use for spices in their Pho but their soups are not spicy enough. I wish the restaurant had more options on their menu as well. read more

This place has been a family favorite for years. Everything always tastes fresh. Service is very attentive and fast. Also, I love a good lunch special. For $10, you get spring rolls or egg rolls with pho and an iced tea--yes, please! I love this family-owned spot because it's consistently great, the price is always right, and the portions are very generous. read more

Decided to give this highly rated Pho place a try. The food is somewhat O.K. The service is at best a 2 stars. The waitress doesn't seem to be very friendly and don't think she wants to work at all. We were there after the lunch hour and the place is not crowded at all. But the food seem to come out very slow for some reason, and the soup is lurked warm. The egg rolls and spring roll we order seem not fresh at all. Very bland. I think some of the egg roll was not quit cook all the way. I am going to keep trying to find a better Pho maybe a bit closer to home. Not coming back to this place read more

The restaurant. It's fine. Nothing special. Dining room, counter, kitchen. Clean and spacious. The service. Almost too good. Our waiter asked us 3 times if we were ready to order within a 10 minute span. I didn't get the feeling he was rushing us though. It was probably just his way. Food was delivered quickly but dishes came out at different times. The food. We had the spring rolls w/peanut sauce. Delicious! Egg rolls. Meeeeh. A chicken sandwich w/a fried egg. Just ok. And one of the beef pho bowls. I was not impressed. The broth was missing something. It was filled with pieces of fatty brownish grey meat. Maybe it was suppose to look like that but it wasn't very appetizing. The vermicilli was good but it took forever to roll each bite onto my fork. I was getting soup every where! The server saw me struggling and didn't try to help. He was probably trying not to laugh. I think I understand why Asians tend to be so petite and Americans so robust. When you've gotta spend 5 minutes rolling your noodles onto a fork or try to use two sticks to pick up grains of rice, eating probably isn't the most enjoyable thing to be doing. Thank goodness for the fork...makes it so easy for Americans to just shovel it on in. LOL! All in all the food was ok but I won't be returning. read more

The Vietnamese Eggrolls are really good delicious it came with lettuce and yummy fish sauce

I only come here for the Hu Tieu! It's the only place in cypress where I can get my Hu Tieu fix! And I always get it kho (dry with soup on the side). I have only ever eaten the Hu Tieu and haven't tried anything else. I should though, just to see how good everything else is. I usually drive all the way to HK4 to get my Hu Tieu fix, but since this place offers it and is close to home, I'll settle for convenience. The service is friendly and the place is clean. If you can't find parking is the front, then no worries! There's plenty of parking in the back. You can enter both ways. read more

These are probably one of the best Banh Mi's you'll ever have in Texas. They are truly so refreshing and savory and taste amazing.

This place was sooo delicious! Service did start a little slow, but once the food started coming out, it literally started coming out lol! My plate was so amazing. The beef was flavorful and warm when it arrived. Perfect light lunch choice, for sure. My fiance ALWAYS gets the vermicelli bowl at every vietnameese place we visit, so he criticizes the same plate at different locations lol. His verdict was : Wow! AMAZING! We definitely will visit this place again in the future. read more
