    Pho was simply fantastic. Authentic flavors. So well-seasoned and well-balanced with lots and lots of protein. Loved the meatballs as well. So satisfying overall. Service was above and beyond. The owner was so helpful and lovely. Haven't been there for almost 5 years and she still remembered my face (or so she said), but still appreciated the gesture. The decor was beautiful as well with the big murals on the 2 side walls. Highly recommended and definitely coming back for more!

    My favorite Vietnamese spot. Egg rolls are delicious and huge helpings of bun bo nuong. It's the only Pho I enjoy in the surrounding area. Fast & hot.

    Great staff with great food!!! They treat you well and they actually remember their regulars down to their orders!! The atmosphere is always nice and welcoming. Very good for families or even groups. My spouse is always getting the fried rice & I know why, ITS DAMN GOOD!! The broth is amazing... it feels like grandma's recipe . Please note: Prices have changed.. except for the drinks. Prior plates were $9.99-$11.25 and now they are $13.95 and so on. However, I love good tasting food and the staff here makes it so much better so paying their new price isn't a problem. The food is just that dang good . I have 0 complaints, keep up the great service and food!!! We will most definitely continue to support.

    This place is amazing, some of the best Vietnamese food I've found in the Houston area right here in cypress! The Pho is out of this world and the vermicelli dishes are amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff is super friendly too. You will not be disappointed!

    Similar taste with Vietnamese original foods. If you miss Vietnam foods, come here, they cook fast and well serve. Great atmosphere!

    This place... I don't even know where to begin. It's calming, almost delicate. The broth? Unbelievably fresh--the freshest I've ever seen. I'm used to the usual: worn-down utensils, broth with little specks of who-knows-what, a murky film that tells you the water wasn't as clean as it should be. But here? Everything is pristine. The broth is crystal clear, pure, made with care. It's a rare kind of attention to detail, and honestly, that's something worth appreciating.

    Great restaurant with delicious food. My husband and I always order takeout, we've never dined inside. Come to think of it, I've never actually seen anyone dinning here. Only takeout orders. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. You can expect your order to be ready with 15mins. Be sure to visit the market next door while you wait. There's plenty of parking available in the shared lot. The menu is small but worthy. I don't ordering from DoorDash. You will over pay. Just call in and pickup. The ban mi sandwiches are small, I usually order additional appetizers. As I've mentioned the food is really good. Here's a list of our favorite menu items: A3 - Spring Rolls (made with reasons, shrimp, herbs, wrapped in rice paper) S1 - Grilled Pork Ban Mi S2 - Grilled Beef Ban Mi B4 - Bún beef rice vermicelli B7 - Bún shrimp & pork vermicelli C7 - Rice with grilled beef and veggies 7 - Stir-fried Flat noodles ( I wish this order had more shrimp)

    The place is clean. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcomed. The Pho Tai is my favorite the broth is just the perfect amount of flavor for me. I've added a picture of before it was prepped and after so you're able to see how amazing it looks! Would recommend this place to anyone.

    Cannot attest to anything beside the Bun Bo Hue here, but I've ordered delivery twice and the BBH has hit the spot every time. They're very generous on the vegetables which I appreciate. I ate the entire container of soup and surprisingly wasn't thirsty from MSGs like many other places. Some slices of brisket had too much for my liking, but overall it did the job.

    Special pho is more expensive than other but their soup taste is so good, rich, strong flavor and less cinnamon. This store have no decorations, but clean and still ok. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend for anyone who want to try Pho.

    I have been patronizing this restaurant for almost 5 or 6 years now, I never thought to review it because the food speaks for itself, plus if you see other Vietnamese people that come to eat here that means the food is good. I know that sounds kinda weird but if native Vietnamese people eat here that means it is correct in taste according to Vietnamese pallets, that being said let's talk about the broth in Pho. The broth here is nothing short of excellent you can taste the richness in their beef broth it has hints of star anise, cinnamon and a deep flavor of the beef which is usually diluted in other Pho restaurants. This is one of the few places in the Cypress area that my picky kids will eat Pho at, they don't add any extra sauces to their Pho because it tastes great on its own. Plus their other dishes are amazing as well. If you love pork chop you definitely need to try theirs it's to die for... it's a must have!! Ambiance is very nice here, basic yet has a homey feel to it. They have plants and a fish tank which is very cool to look at while eating lunch or dinner. Highly recommended place to eat great Vietnamese food. Prices are good a bit pricey in comparison to Bellaire but an excellent alternative if you don't want to drive all the way to China town/ Bellaire to eat Vietnamese food. Best Northwest Vietnamese restaurant!!

There's not a lot of African restaurants in Cypress, but this place is definitely worth a try. Still can't get over the texture of fufu! It's so pleasant with the soups.

We also requested lemons, but they never came, so we let it go. We ordered large bowls of chicken pho, and that was definitely the highlight. The portions were generous and packed with flavor, with a great balance of chicken and noodles. Midway through the meal, we ordered lemonade. The host didn't seem too happy about it and went to the back for a while. It seemed like it might be made from powder since she grabbed ice from the front machine. Then we found out it was $5, which was surprising. Service-wise, it felt a bit off at times, but you could tell they were trying. We did share a few laughs with the male waiter, which helped the experience. At checkout, we got a percentage off for Mr. Pho's 7th anniversary at this particular location, which was a nice touch.

They accommodated us with our stroller and made it work. I am so excited that I found a farm to table restaurant where I feel like the food is good enough quality to feed my baby. We paid $50 per person for the brunch buffet and the baby was free since she is under 2. The food was delicious! They had an amazing assortment of fresh fruits, cheese, breads, salads, breakfast foods, dips, pasta, and veggies. They also had a carving station with steak and chimichurri sauce.

It's been quite a long time since I was here and as I was in the neighborhood I decided to stop by again today. Remembering how good they were last time, I ordered the Oma's Frikadellen (grandma's recipe for all-beef meatballs). I like a good German meatball and these were tender and juicy. There was a choice of red cabbage or sauerkraut as a side; having confirmed they made the sauerkraut in-house themselves, had to order that because I know it's super healthy to eat. Better yet, that sauerkraut was almost perfect with a great flavor, but not too tart and just really a delicious version. Honestly I could've eaten a huge bucket load of that sauerkraut and I may buy some to go someday just to have it on hand in my refrigerator; a slight warm and it would be a wonderful side to serve guests. Dessert was a wow! I wanted to try a dessert that they made themselves and so I couldn't help but go with one of the dessert specials of the day. There were several options available not on the menu and although it was tempting to try the tiramisu or one of the three versions of crème brûlée they make, I decided to go with their homemade limoncello cake which turned out to be a delicious choice that I'm very happy about. Waiter Ty said it was one of his favorite desserts here and I could taste why -- moist cake, flavor-filled filling, whipped cream and with blueberries to decorate the plate. In fact it was so yummy that I decided that so someday soon I would order one with a couple days notice and then take it to my family's place next time I go over for dinner - what I don't know is whether I'll tell them the truth or try and pretend that I made it myself LOL :-) Update: the next day I did call to order an entire cake and it didn't last very long once the family dug in, got gobbled up because it had an intense great lemon flavor, wonderful.
