Really good pho. Small is enough for 2 servings. Closed Sunday Shrimp fried rice is excellent too.

Chicken fried rice was tasteless. No flavor whatsoever. Chicken was so dry. The spring rolls were decent, though.

We ate at Pho Yen tonight and were really disappointed. We ordered several bowls of pho, and unfortunately, the broth was incredibly bland. It honestly tasted more like water than a flavorful pho broth. We've eaten there before and never had an experience like this, so we were wondering if they have new owners or if something has changed recently. Has anyone else noticed a difference? read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pho Yen has updated their interior and it's gorgeous! Their menu also has been updated. The standby items are still there but you can now find Bahn Mi sandwiches - and they are great. We eat Pho here at least 2-3 times a month and have never been disappointed. Generous portions are great value. Special mention for the Singapore noodles!! read more

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! read more

Since the early 2000's had been a staple my me and my family! Even through the years still remained consistent, friendly, and great option for healthy eating. Wish they brought the pork back and the old egg roll recipe with pate! read more

I think they have the best vermicelli and Vietnamese egg rolls in the Friendswood area! Portions are generous, and the flavors are always on point. Just disappointed they no longer serve pork--my kids always asked for the char-grilled pork, and we don't go as often because of it. Wish they would bring it back! Still my go-to spot when I'm craving vermicelli or egg rolls. read more

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. read more

When you enter they always are there to greet you and get you seated, making you feel like a regular. They have very good Phô with our frequent preference is for the meatball version. And never forget to get their Vietnamese eggrolls. If you are expecting small finger foods you will need to rethink. They are the size of Chinese eggrolls but much meatier and served with the same lettuce and Coriander/Cilantro accompaniments. The staff is ready to advise and accommodate any special needs for your meal. This is a small and very friendly place to have a good comfort meal of Vietnamese Phô. read more

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. read more

Food is excellent especially the chicken noodle soup and the lemon grass chicken! I swear the chicken noodle soup has healing properties!!!

Back in the area and was craving authentic Vietnamese food. The food was terrible!! The Vietnamese egg rolls (Chả giò ) were not authentic. The eggroll filling was not the traditional filling and the fish sauce (Nước Mắm) was. straight out of the bottle from the store - no preparation. We waited for our main dishes hoping for a better experience. The Mongolian beef was terrible. The beef was pasty and lacked flavor. Giving a one star for the friendly staff. read more

This is THE pho spot in friendswood. Their portions, the broth, the price. Everything about pho yen is just perfection. Going there for lunch is perfect because when you let them know, they bring the check with your food so you can dash out when you need to. The lunch specials are exceptional as well.

I have tried many Pho dishes over the years and some have been much better than others. Pho Yen is on the higher end of the spectrum for flavor and quality. The broth is tasty and they always give a sufficient amount of veggies. The quality or the meat is good. Overall, I really enjoy it here and am happy and full every time. read more

Been going here for many many years . The food is always great and the staff are so friendly and professional. My favorites here are the Vietnamese egg rolls, Sesame chicken beef and broccoli, , and the chicken noodle soup (pho) . Nice lunch specials too. The soup is great if you are under the weather. Glad this place is in friendswood, a welcome change from all the wonderful fast food places we have . Highly recommend. read more

Nice little gem here tucked into the A+ Pack and Ship plaza! I've had their pho, wonton soup, and pad Thai. All were wonderful and major comfort foods. The pad Thai is a bit different having thinner noodles (somewhat similar to angel hair pasta) but I still liked it nonetheless. Very generous portions on all fronts, happy and friendly staff, and reasonable prices. read more

Best Pho in Friendswood area for starters. The pho broth is traditionally rich and full of flavor from the oxe tail- not just some imitation broth (if you know your pho..). I've been frequenting here for 4 years and it's been the same family/staff. The customer service is great and very attentive, wether it's a large party of you're alone. Always smiles and good attitude. The reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because they're always skimp on the veggie tray with the soup and the drinking glasses are tiny; thus making for countless refills. However always worth it to ask for more jalapeños and lime and a drink doesn't stay empty long. **HIGHLY RECOMMEND** read more

This has been my "go-to" comfort Asian food for years. Through new ownerships, the dishes are always delicious! Never change. My favorite is padthai or sesame chicken. Eggs rolls are awesome as well as spring rolls and fried cheese wontons. Soups are delicious too! It's a must in Friendswood! always clean- polite employees / A+100 read more

Our neighborhood pho spot is slipping. Sad to say. If you go... just stick to PHO & spring rolls!!My husband keeps trying other things and they are just bad. The lemon chicken tonight was ridiculous. Nasty unidentifiable fried something that they said was chicken with a side bowl of sauce. He couldn't eat it. I really couldn't look at it. The pho was fine, what I expected and the spring roll was good. Let me explain 3 stars. 1: because it is in the neighborhood. 2: they are nice people. 3: my pho and spring roll was as I expected; good. read more

Whaaaaat happened here? Identity crisis? How does a Vietnamese restaurant not serve......pork? What happened? Did the owners give up pork, and expect customers to do the same? Are they trying to re-engineer our palettes to give up ...... pork? We were told there were issues, complaints from customers of undercooked pork, so they removed pork from the menu. Whaaaaat? We ordered pad Thai that had little flavoring. Sp8cy beef was I edi le, and left to die a sad death. We ordered spicy chicken and it was bland. The unsweet tea was good. I don't know what happened to this place but they will lose true Vietnamese patrons. The food is horrible.. Needless to say, we won't be back. ETA: we were told the kitchen precooks all the protein, so that when you order a dish, it is either cooked a 2nd time, or already cooked. It's why all our dishes had chewy, unedited chicken and beef pieces. I seriously don't understand how customers are giving this place such high reviews. read more
