    Recommendation from my younger brother so I had to give them a try. Staff and owner were very friendly, they were busy but got us seated almost immediately. Waitress took our order and food came out shortly after. The pho in my opinion was really good but the only thing is they did not offer the rare beef "thịt tái" but it's okay. They have a lot of other food they offer our waitress was so quick I did not get a chance to capture a photo or the menu. Will definitely come back and try the rest of their dishes. Come show your support if you're in the area

    Phở Đặc Biệt

    The service was great! I got the Phở Đặc Biệt which is my go to order for any pho place. The vegetables were quite fresh and I liked the meat portion. The broth was decent as well. The only issue I had was with the rice noodle. It was probably cooked a bit too long beforehand because when I got my bowl, it started to get very soggy. I couldn't enjoy it that much so I ended up just eating most of the meat and broth. The ambience of the restaurant was nice.

    Very good service. Forgot the names of the items we got but everything was great, will definitely come more. Seated during lunch, busy hour yet everything was clean.

    Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice

    We ordered carry out and enjoyed the large portion sizes and felt they were at a good price. I liked the flavor of the sesame chicken but the chicken pieces themselves could be a bit more tender. The egg rolls and peanut sauce were good but not great. The workers were very friendly and kind. We would order from here again when in the area.

    Great place for pho in friendswood! It's hard to find a good viet restaurant in the area but glad we found this one. They have a great variety of food..it's not only pho! The portion sizes are large and they come in a really unique bowl. The broth was flavorful and authentic. They give you a generous portion of meat. We also ordered the egg rolls and were surprised when they came out because they were gigantic. The egg rolls also came with lettuce which was good cause you can turn your egg roll into a healthy spring egg roll :). The service was great and everyone was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you need a good place to go to for pho in friendswood...this place is it!

    Beef vermicelli bowl.

    Ratings were good so we stopped in. Should have read the reviews first tho. First, greeted immediately and seated. Nice bright space and light crowd for a Saturday. Pricing is a tad higher than most we have been to.. We ordered the eggrolls, very good. I ordered a vermicelli bowl with beef. I had asked if i got the version with an eggroll if they could substitute wontons as Id already ordered the 3 pc eggroll appetizer. No substitutions. He talked me into the version with no eggroll for $2 less. Doesn't seem like a customer friendly approach and shorts them $2 in potential profit to boot! His demeanor was abrupt although when two asian men came in he appeared to be falling over himself to accommodate them. Just my opinion. My brother unfortunately ordered the lemon chicken. I didnt read reviews until the next day but this has been a recurring theme and they have not addressed it. The chicken comes out gray looking. Its smells ok and didnt taste spoiled but it looks bad and has zero flavor. Had to wonder if this is the new fake chicken people talk about. Even dark meat selections have some hint of pink hue but not grey and dark grey in some cases. My brother couldnt eat it. He had asked for fried rice they gave him steamed. We got it switched out but it was bland and not noteworthy. The dish was just underwhelming if not unappetizing. My vermicelli was good and filling. Didnt even take a pic of the chicken we were so taken back by the dish. We will not be back.

    Tendons and fat.

    Money Wasted & Disgusting Food I picked up a to-go order that was disgustingly wrong. We ordered the P3 beef noodle with flank and we received noodle with tendons and fatty pieces of meat. Inedible for us and a complete waste of $30.

    This is such a great place! The location is unassuming, but the food is amazing! I loved the pho, it was delicious. I got the chicken, and it had a great, fresh flavor. I was so happy my friend introduced me to this place!

    Mongolian Beef. I took out the excessive amount of bamboo shoots. No flavor. Meat was hard and tasteless. Fried wontons were gross

    Dirty restaurant., Food was tasteless Wontons overcooked. Too many bamboo shoots. Beef was hard no flavor

    Small corner spot with very limited parking and seating, but they've been around for a long time…read morefor a reason. We love the food here, just wish the customer service was a bit more helpful. No one is rude. It just feels like they're focused on getting the food out rather than answering questions. For me, service is part of the overall experience. One example, the menu doesn't list ingredients for the shaking beef banh mi. I asked what was in it and got a pretty vague answer like "beef" and a few other items. When it came out, it had sour cream, which wasn't mentioned. I can eat it, just not my preference, so it would've been nice to know upfront. * Garlic wings - according to my wife, absolutely amazing * Pork & egg banh mi - really good and fully loaded * Egg rolls - good size and fried perfectly * Char siu pork stir fried noodles - nice kick from the black pepper * Shrimp fried rice - simple but flavorful * Shaking beef banh mi - different from what I usually get (with rice), still tasty overall The inside is tight and not really suited for big groups--more of a quick in-and-out kind of place.

I ordered the stir fried noodle with Sweet chili wings and to pork tacos that are the size of a size 6 in a woman's shoe. Stuffed with meaty goodness and topped with fresh cilantro, onions and their salsa all wrapped in comfort with corn tortillas and then wrapped in shiny foil paper. The wait for online orders is about a 25-30 minutes as it is a tiny kitchen, serving HUGE flavors. The place is always popping with guest enjoying their libations and soaking it up with the cuisine. Small, outside seating available with nice couches and bar tables to feast. I highly recommend if you haven't partook already. Love the ambiance, love the people. These people cook like how Jesus loves people.

    Fresh and delicious pho! This is my second time eating from Pho Barr in Dickinson, and both times,…read moreI greatly enjoyed it. The first visit I dined in, and this time I got pick up.

I'll definitely be back again.

    Came to try Pho Barr for the first time today…read more We ordered the Bò Lúc Lắc on the hot stone plate and the Bún Bò Huế. The Bún Bò Huế lacked the traditional rich flavor I'm used to, but it tasted clean and wasn't oily. It also didn't include the traditional pork blood, but mixing in shrimp paste, lime, fish sauce, and chili helped bring it closer to the authentic flavor. The food stayed hot in the metal bowl which was nice. The Bò Lúc Lắc arrived hot and sizzling, just as advertised. The beef was flavorful and cooked well. One thing to note is that it came with white rice rather than the fried rice shown on the menu description. The food was good, and I'd probably come back, but I'd try a different location because the service at this one was disappointing and ruined the experience. Andrew was very helpful, but the other two employees spent most of the time on their phones with their backs turned toward the dining room, making it difficult to get their attention. We had to get up ourselves to ask for a water refill. While in the middle of eating, one of the girls brought our check and said, "Whenever you're ready, no rush." It felt like we were being rushed out while I was still actively eating and it wasn't busy. What was especially disappointing was that she never asked how our food was or whether we wanted to order anything else before closing out our tab. I had planned on ordering a drink after my meal, but after that experience, I decided I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Better hospitality would have made a big difference.

A poem dedicated to Sailorfoodie's mom: You became a mother at only 10 years old, Following the passing of your very own. Your younger siblings began to look to you, Giving them the care and protection needed for this journey of life to get them through. You survived years of hardship in an impoverished land, Carrying the duties as the first born daughter with your weathered hands. Your selfless love soared higher than the tallest mountain, Making father easily fall for you at the very first encounter. You embarked to America with joy and sorrow, Saying goodbye to those you hold dearly while bracing for the unknown of tomorrow. Your silver strands glistening in the morning glory, Reflecting all of the paths of difficulties you have faced, I hope now with your family happy and healthy you can sit with ease with no worry. -Sailor out
