i got there at 11:50

I would give them 0 stars if i could. Hours don't reflect when they are open. The owner or worker was sitting down at a table 50 mins after they supposedly open and told me to "go away". DO NOT GO OR SUPPORT THEIR BUSINESS.

Very disappointed in the service. Tables were filthy, almost every single one had leftover trash on them. Asked the guy working if he could clean one of the tables and he sat us at the very end of a dirty one. I empathize with them in that I know it's hard to find star to work these days, but seriously it's a restaurant, cleanliness should be one of your top priorities. Food took some time to come out, everything was pretty good. Our chicken noodle dish came out very last, and by then we were already full and done eating. We asked the guy for a to go box so we could pack it up, and he offered to do so for us. We watched him pack up the food, and I saw that he had grabbed a fallen noodle with his bare hands and threw it into the to go box. That's straight up nasty. Idk if I'll be back again. Very disappointing, as I had a great time the last time I had come. Things sure have changed since then.

Don't come here. Foods are horrible. As Vietnamese I could this restaurant 0 star. Food are not good, and not Vietnamese foods. Noodles uncooked, beef salad far away from the pictures and taste horrible . We can't eat this food.

Halal beef pho and shaking beef
Isra A.

Finding a halal pho place is hard, especially when u still want it to be authentically Vietnamese. So this was like hitting the jackpot. Had the beef broth pho because the spicy one was out, but the owner brought us a spicy mixture to help make up for it. Also had the shrimp rolls and shaking beef, both absolutely amazing. The pho is actually really filling, worth every penny. The thai iced tea was also really good! Will definitely be back to try other dishes

They are not closed on first of the year!!!!. FYI. For my first time here I instantly caught on that this place is where groups of regulars meet and dine plus families come to chill and hang. I orders my signature medium chicken pho with extra jalapeños and boiled shrimp spring rolls. 2024 just started and I'm determined to eat my favorites. My wait is set for 20-25. Like I said they are busy. So I'm in my vehicle getting and apepite. During my wait, I was able to witness how they clean up behind large groups. Which was quick and impressive. All around impressive place

Food

Many say that Pho Ben is the top pho spot. I've asked Vietnamese hairdressers, and they recommend…read morePho Ben. While I personally don't think it's the best pho in Houston, it definitely ranks highly. What I like even more are their banh mi sandwiches. They have some of the best banh mis, and they definitely use good quality bread unlike many other places.

Pho Ben has become a popular Sugar Land staple for Vietnamese food, however I believe their quality…read morehas declined in recent years. While they seat and serve even large parties (I've visited with up to 12 people on a regular basis) with impressive speed, the quality of their food simply is not what it used to be. On this most recent visit I ordered a Pork Bahn Mi. The pork had absolute zero char, which I believe is integral to the sweet and savory char-grilled flavor promised in the menu description. As a result, the meat tasted as if it were stewed in an overcrowded pan leading to a rubbery texture. At a previous visit my baguette was also soaked and soggy, as if the pickled vegetables hadn't been drained before being added to the sandwich, then left to sit before service. I used to regularly order their pho, but have moved away from doing so as it tastes very average. On one hand their broth is consistent and does the job, especially if you are in a rush, but on the other hand is has no notable characteristics to speak of. Its aromatic blend doesn't particularly stand out and the broth doesn't have the deep flavor I would expect from Southern-style pho. The staff is always helpful and accommodating to the large parties I visit with. They always look busy, though not in a way that bothers me, and it's easy to see why when you consider the rapid speed that they serve food and clear tables. Overall, Pho Ben does the job for a quick bite of Vietnamese food. Even with larger parties, I've never had to wait longer than ~15 minutes for a table, and once seated, food typically arrives in ~10 minutes. However, due to its declining quality, it has fallen off my list of go-to spots in Sugar Land.

Every dish was prepared with care and packed with authentic flavors: House Special Pho: The broth is clear, clean, and naturally rich without feeling heavy or overly greasy. The tender beef slices topped with fresh scallions made every bite comforting and delicious. Hanoi Bun Cha: Beautifully presented on a traditional bamboo tray. The dipping sauce is balanced just right with savory grilled pork, served alongside fresh rice noodles, bean sprouts, and aromatic herbs. Sizzling Beef Steak (Bò Né): Served piping hot on a sizzling cast-iron skillet. The beef is wonderfully tender and flavorful, paired perfectly with runny sunny-side-up eggs and sliced onions. The restaurant is clean, and the service is fast and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back often and bringing more friends along!

Pho Combination with Short Rib and the flavor always hits. I have no complaints at all. The portions are perfect, and they always throw in a good amount of meat. The sandwiches are also authentic and the other side dishes/appetizers are also very good. I was surprised they had soft shell crabs which were delicious. It's a nice cozy little spot. The bowls they use are very aesthetic and I like the vibe of the overall establishment. It's generally quiet but you can eat your meal in peace. This is my go-to spot when I'm craving pho or when it gets cold outside. I've recommended this place to my coworkers and they've enjoyed it as well. I'll be back without a doubt!

When you know what you want, go back to the checkout counter and order all your food. Staff will come with utensils and water. The food was very filling. I'm pretty sure we over ate. The food are more on the Sweet side and focus on pork meats. The drinks are behind the checkout counter and not on the menu. If you want condiments, it's by the checkout counter too. As you can tell, most of the stuff is kind of self-serve, which is normal for this kind of establishment. We came on a Sunday around 11 AM. It was a steady crowd. Tables and chairs are very clean. The light took a little bit to get used to. I think we picked the bad spot because the fan above us had a light above the fan so it kind of got stroby. The breakfast plate is garlic rice, one meat, some tomato slices, and two eggs. (The breakfast plate is served all day.) If you have a friend, get two breakfast plates and a street food (3 sticks of one type of meat only). And share that. It's very filling. The pandan dessert was a refreshing after dish but I think it would taste better cold. (I'll ask for some ice next time to put on top of it.) Parking is free and out front. There is a lot of space. This place is in a new looking plaza with plenty of shops ready to rent out.

While I didn't try any of the other dishes, I noticed nearby tables enjoying generous portions of chicken, seafood stir fry, noodles and rice dishes --definitely a good value for the price. The service here is a hit or miss, however, given that it's a casual restaurant and the food is great. It's easily forgiven. It's absolutely worth a visit! If I lived closer, this would easily become a go-to spot for me.

This spot is low key with a nice, clean interior and friendly service. I visited here to check out…read moresome noodles and crawfish. 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!

During my latest visit, I tried some pho and also had the Bun Cha Ha Noi again…read more Like last time, the Bun Cha was delicious. The grilled meats, fresh herbs, perfectly cooked rice noodles all made up perfect bite after perfect bite. The portion is quite large and filling, so I definitely feel like this is a very good option if you're looking for Vietnamese but not just your typical pho and banh mi options. The pho was solid too, but the only complaint I will make about the pho is that the portion of meat was way too small, contrary to the bun cha. We ordered a build your own bowl, and it came with maybe 1 piece of each of the meats we selected. The broth itself was pretty good and perhaps one of the better pho soups in the area. Service is decent but I have yet to visit while it is busy.

I visited Pho Tan Loc Vietnamese House for lunch and unfortunately, I will not be returning…read more After arriving, I waited about 10 minutes before anyone took my order. I ordered the lunch special, which included pho and two egg rolls. The plate of vegetables was brought to my table, but there was no basil. I looked around the restaurant and noticed that the only other customer I saw without basil was another Black woman. When my two egg rolls arrived, they were cold. I don't eat cold food, so I left them on the table untouched. I asked the gentleman serving me if I could please bring me some basil. Instead of bringing it himself, he spoke to the woman who had taken my order. She came back and asked what I needed. I said, "Some basil, please." She responded, "More?" At that point, I didn't respond. I simply thought to myself, You never gave me any in the first place. She then brought the basil to my table, but there was a fairly large bug on one of the basil sprigs. When my pho arrived, the noodles were overcooked and mushy, making the soup unpleasant to eat. From the moment I walked in, I did not feel welcomed. The overall service was disappointing, and the food quality was poor. When it was time to pay, I chose not to leave a tip. I usually tip generously when I receive good service, but I cannot reward poor service and substandard food. I left feeling that I was treated differently, and that was upsetting. Whether intentional or not, no customer should leave a restaurant feeling unwelcome or feel they were treated differently because of the color of their skin. If businesses want the support of the community, every customer deserves to be treated with the same respect, courtesy, and quality of service.
