Loved the food , the service is great friendly. And the food portions is more than any where else

The food was really good, although it wasn't what I asked for. I came in 30 minutes before closing, party of one. As soon as I sat down I was approached abruptly being told I can't dine in, only To-go. After I was then rush to the front to place my To-go order. After being rushed to order my food was shortly brought out and my request for To-go sauces were met with a snarky rebuttal. They gave me the wrong meats in my pho, which made it really hard to enjoy. Other than that the soup itself was good, I guess just don't come 30 minutes before closing expecting good service... read more

This restaurant was very good but no any more! I ordered: - the special fry rice and to my surprise was white with few pieces of meat and 2 soya sauce little pocket... for me to mix? of course it didn't have any flavor at all, this is the worst fry rice EVER. - Egg rolls where ok! WHAT A DISAPPOINTED WASTE OF MONEY! read more

OMG! Finally found an amazing pho place outside of Asian town. The food is so good. Service was fast and the food was hot and fresh! Everyone is so nice. Very casual Vietnamese restaurant, nothing fancy but when your food is this good you don't need to be flashy. If you're in the area it's a must go. read more

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! read more

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) read more

Arlin was our server this was our second time dining here. The food was exceptional! I truly regret not coming here sooner.

amazing customer service and the food is amazing !! would definitely recommend to try

The best pho and rice dishes , the spring rolls and Vietnamese egg rolls are on point !

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. read more

Chicken pho had great flavor and fresh chicken taste. 3 beef pho was also tasty. Egg rolls were perfect. Place was clean.

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. read more

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. read more

Usually I will go to the same places I've already been but today I wanted to order delivery and try something new. Food was delicious and authentic! Loved my pho tai nam & the fried rice is phenomenal I will for sure order again! read more

Pho here is soo good, my kids and I love it so much. The service is always super fast and helpful when I've asked for suggestions.

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. read more

Wow, love this place! Pho and rice plates are very authentic tasting. I eat here once a week!

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!! read more

Pho Viet Mai - Combo flat noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Here we go again with another Vietnamese pho! lol What can I say? I am a pho-natic. First comes first, masks and social distancing are enforced prior to seating. After ordering, I began observing the decor in Pho Viet Mai. It was so cheerful and adorable that I felt it was Chinese New Year all over again. I'm a firm believer that your decor and tidiness showcase who you are in your setting. Black and white Vietnamese photos were hung sporadically on their bright orange walls. That totally made the restaurant so authentic. There was a colorful fish tank near the front entrance; so serene watching the fish while I waiting on my pho. Come time for the most anticipated, the food. This was needless to say, thumbs way up! I ordered the Pho Tai Bo Vien. Vietnamese translated to English: rare beef slices with beef meatballs in a beef broth with rice noodles. I usually get the sliced beef round eye steak rare because I don't like overcooked, dry meat. By the time the pho bowl is placed in front of you, the filet pieces are cooked. Even though the filet sliced beef cooked quickly, its tenderness was impeccable. Clear flavorful broth, uber tender beef steak slices, hearty beef meatballs, heaping amounts of fresh limes, jalapeños, basil, and bean sprouts were all magical right in front of me. I was over the moon with my bowl of pho and Vietnamese coffee. I also ordered two banh mi to-go. Choose from marinated pork, beef or fried egg in your banh mi. These are large baguettes stuffed with cucumbers, fresh jalapeño slices, pickled carrots and daikon. The staff today was mother and son and family friend serving customers. I can tell they take pride in their food and business here. read more

This place is really close to my house and I was craving some Vietnamese vermicelli.

Everything was delicious and the serving sizes were gigantic. We will definitely be ordering here again. Our order was also ready in 10 minutes from the time my husband placed the order. read more

The Shrimp Pho was good ( 5 stars) , broth was good and well seasoned and they give a very generous amount of food. I'm giving 2 stars because the water pitcher had mildew under the rim and the cups where not clean. We almost just left in general. It was a big turnoff. read more

I've probably been here 100x before writing this review. So far, this is my favourite vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood. I still remember my very first bowl of chao (rice congee) there. It has a solid taste, made me crave for the bowl everytime I think about the restaurant. However, she doesn't sale chao anymore due to low sale count . It's ok, i still love the place for it's com bo luc lac (rock and roll beef). The beef cube was very tender and seasoned just right. The rice plate also comes with stir fry bellpeppers and cubed fried potato which you can opt out. The owner is very down to earth. You jist have to let you know what you want and she will adjust to your taste happily. My other favorite food and my boyfriend and I usuay eat here is com ga nuong (chargrilled chicken with rice) and spring rolls. Yum yum!! Pretty much everything is good here hehe. We will continue to come often, especially on days that we dont feel like cooking at home . read more

My friend invited me to eat here because it just opened and his family says the food tastes good. COM BO LUC LAC I was really disappointed in my rice dish. It didn't taste very authentic and the flavors were lacking. The meat was bland and chewy. It was missing that salt and lime flavor. There was no side bowl of salt, lime, and pepper to dip in, but there was a side bowl of soup, which wasn't very flavorful. It was very light in terms of seasoning. This dish was very simple and not worth the price nor the empty stomach. I'm sure I won't be coming back. Something as simple as bo luc lac was a failure, I doubt I would like the other items on the menu. No thanks~ read more

Pho Viet Mai - P4 I forgot the New but on the menu it's P.4 - Vietnamese Near Me - Cypress, Texas

This would be a 3.5 for me. I was actually looking forward to eating Duc Chuong in the same plaza but since they had closed early (8pm) for some odd reason, I settled for this it was conveniently right there! It was about 8pm on a Monday night when we hesitantly walked in to thai establishments. I was in dire need of soup. The lady that took care of us was really nice, communicated well. We ordered eggrolls for apps, pho tai bo vien for me and a rice plate for the mister. I had asked for the eye-round beef to be on the side but it came overcooked it in my bowl of pho anyway. When food came out, everything was piping hot so that was a plus! However, they only provided me with bean sprouts, and no other herbs or veggies. I had to ask for it. Shouldn't it be automatic? The pho broth was very dark in murky in color. Took a sip and wow.. it was super sweet! Usually I prefer my pho broth to be more on the savory side, maybe a little more salt. That was just odd. Didn't taste bad but just not normal. The rice plate looks kind of bare. A few pieces of meat. The mister said it was really fatty. Like super fatty riblets. He also thought that was overly sweet. So at this point, we got our main dishes but not the eggrolls. Eggrolls came out maybe 15 mins later. Piping hot! I guess it was super fresh so I didn't mind the wait. It was tasty. Lots of fillings and fresh herbs. However, the fish sauce was overly sweet yet again. I think this restaurant switched out the salt and replaced it with sugar?! lol who knows but yeah. Eggrolls were the best part. Very fresh and tasty. Not a bad place but it's not suitable for my taste bud. I'm not a sweet person and almost every dish we had, had a really sweet component. read more

Only until recently had I realized how concentrated the Vietnamese population was in the Cypress area of Northwest Houston. I was surprised at how many small Vietnamese grocery stores are thriving in the area, and some even have Vietnamese restaurants opened up beside them. Pho Viet Mai is one such restaurant, located next to Ca Mau Food Market, that could actually put all the Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown to shame. The small restaurant looked pretty brand new, with bright colors on the walls and a clean dining area. Not what I had expected to find in such a small, quiet and rusty looking shopping plaza (if I were to judge a book by its cover). Our entrees came out rather quick, before our order of egg rolls. It might be partially due to my somewhat low expectation of the restaurant, but the first bite into the grilled pork chop that I ordered kinda blew me away. Compared to any grilled pork chop I've had at other Vietnamese restaurants, Pho Viet Mai's was not only perfectly marinated, but exceptionally juicy. I immediately noticed how they did not overcook the pork chop like most restaurants would, yet they did not undercook it either. A couple more bites got me squirming in my seat with satisfaction. The entrée came with a huge portion of rice, a sunny side up fried egg, very fresh veggies, and a side of pho soup. The gf's grill pork slices tasted just as amazing as my pork chops, and came with a huge bowl of vermicelli noodles and veggies. Definitely worth the price. The eggrolls came out later, steaming hot and extra crispy. I liked how they were a bit thinner with less filling, that way I could get a bit more crunch of the crispy wrap with every bite. read more
