    This place is always on point!!!! Service is amazing, the people make you feel like family. The pho, mango jerky egg roll are superb!!!

    Pho Tai Bo Vien

    Went here with my boyfriend! Easy service, food comes out in time, very clean. I ordered Pho Tai Bo Vien in a large. The portion is great, the broth is alright. Overall it's delicious. I would say a 9/10!

    Good place for pho late nights. This was our third option on a Saturday midnight coming back from the airport. Chinatown was literally packed everything, including this place. The wait wasn't too bad. The only complaint I would have is the cleanliness, but this is Bellaire. Tables were not cleaned properly and the pho bowl looked dirty from the outside still. The broth had good flavor, and meat was good, I ordered the pho dac biet smallest size and it got me full. $60 for 4 people is very affordable. I'd come back despite them not focused on sanitation

    This place is great for providing good quality and delicious pho that opens late at night. The price is great for a large bowl. The service was very quick to serve. This place ONLY ACCEPTS cash and Zelle.

    Got pho dac biet, tons of meat. I ate it too fast so here is a picture of the finished bowl.

    This one is my local gem. One of those places that you may pass up but will u turn - no problem to double back to. Family ran business. More likely than not, you'll meet the usual faces if you order take out as often as I do. LSTS. I lost someone close to me that ate pho with me and while their health was declining they enjoyed when I would bring him his "chicken noodles" as he called them. This place and family will always have a special place in my heart and with my family.

    Pho Dac Biet

    Two thing in life that I love: pho and late night food. The concept of Pho Ve Dem (#1) perfectly suits my nocturnal lifestyle, all while guaranteeing pho lovers a chance at tasty glory even in the wee hours of the night. Open starting at 5pm, this is definitely a spot for nightlife folks just looking to cure their hangover with some very tasty pho. It's a very modest interior for Pho Ve Dem. The place is not large and the decor they do have is very minimal. There are usually a mix of Vietnamese families and young people hanging out here. The bathrooms are not in the best of shape and the parking situation is a little tight beyond 5 spaces. Take a peep at the menu and know that it's basically all pho. It's very straight forward and totally feels like a one-sheet of meat cuts and bowl sizes. I appreciate the beefy broth, which in addition to being fairly clean, was a little too easy to slurp. My bowl of dac biet goodness was devoured quickly and I was very impressed with how much meat was included. I thought the tendons, bo vien meatballs, and flank cuts were generous and abundant. Service is going to be a crapshoot. Even for folks who speak Viet, the service can be a little rough around the edges and the vibe is super casual. The thought of waiters screaming orders across the room is not far off and to make matters more complicated, it's cash only. (#2) Strangely, I was really into their strong Vietnamese iced coffee. After my late night food coma, I was happy to indulge in something that was potent but sweet. I anticipate I'll be back for more midnight bowls of pho. ___________ (#1) "At Night" (#2) Now that's legit.

    The food here was good, standard Vietnamese restaurant with a majority of their usual dishes if you've been to a pho location. The service was decent, usual check ins and several refills on water. No major issues in the actual location. Ambiance was about as expected, moderate levels of noice and a very small location in a shopping center. Fortunate for us they stayed open later into the night than most places so we were able to grab a late night dinner. Check them out if you're in town.

    We were looking for a Pho place that was open late at night and decided to give it a try. It was not too busy when we got there and had a choice of tables. We selected one close the pay counter which we did not realize as it was an inner table. There got pretty busy when we left with lots of to go orders. We ordered the large combo Pho that includes a variety of meats like meatball, flank, tendon, tripe, etc. the price for medium and large was the same. The broth was delicious. Well seasoned. There amount of meat was also very generous. The only thing was the noodles. Not sure exactly what it was but it seemed to have been overcooked. It was not bad but tasted different somehow. Place was clean. Utensils were on the table and you grab your own chopsticks, soup spoon and sauce dish. After eating, you pay at the counter by indicating the number at your table. They pretty much know what you ordered even if you forgot. Cash only... they may have Zelle. We will give it another try next time we crave for Pho late at night.

    We came in town pass 1am and this was the place that Opens late. It compensates between fast food and sit down restaurants. Eventhough it was late but the hospitality was great

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!

    Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. 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.

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.

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.

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.
