    Banh Mi not wrapped well.
    Bethanne A.

    Yesterday, we were disappointed with the Banh Mi. They were wrapped correctly and the Fish Sauce wasn't in the bag. My son had to ask for it. The sandwiches are usually delicious, but yesterday they gave me and my housekeeper heartburn. I still have it. I don't the staff was the same according to my son.. We will still diner there again to see if it was a off day.

    We had not visited this location in a while, but they have been here for a very long time. They would not have lasted this long if it wasn't for their great food and service. The lady that took care of our table made us feel like family and she told us they are finishin up a renovation. The place was very clean and we're excited to see it when they finish their renovation. She informed us they will have desserts soon! The fried rice, soups, and Thai tea drinks were all delicious. Very authentic tasting food and a good establishment for groups. We will be back!

    Mango smoothie
    Alborz D.

    I absolutely love this place. Food is always fresh, trying everything on the menu. Pho is flavorful, broth tastes delicious and definitely made from scratch. Shrimp egg rolls were crunchy and paired well with the dipping sauce. Mango smoothie was refreshing, also tried their Vietnamese iced coffee- strong and tastes awesome. Banh Mi - I tried the grilled pork Banh Mi and it was really tasty, filling and packed with flavor. Fresh spring rolls were really good too. I highly recommend this place, a true gem. Owner really cares and does a great job connecting with people. Thank you. I could eat here every day.

    Simply the best Banh Mi in Tomball hands down it might be better than a lot of the ones in Houston. Great friendly service and you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Will definitely be back. The Pho was amazing as well

    Bahn mi pork
    Katie G.

    Tried this place because it's just up the road from work. I got the pork Bahn mi and it was fresh! It had good char flavor and the bread was surprisingly good for Texas

    I clean my bowl every time I come in here. Best pho in the Tomball area Fast service and delicious food

    Chargrilled pork and egg roll vermicelli
    Jeremy T.

    I finally made it to the 2nd location of Pho Zen and ordered something other than Pho. I'm no vietnamese food expert, but I took a chance to see if they can excel at something other than soup. So I went with the grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli to be exact. The dish comes in a bowl with grilled green onions, crushed peanuts and thinly sliced carrots on the side, all sitting on a bed of lettuce and diced cucumbers. It also comes with a small bowl of fish sauce with more thinly sliced carrots in it. The egg roll tasted very fresh with plenty of diced pork inside it. The best part for me was the chargrilled pork pieces, very tasty, tender and some fattiness to give it great flavor. Service was excellent at this location as well. They even gave me a to-go cup of tea when I was leaving without even asking me. It's like they read my mind!

The main thing that grabbed me was they actually let you finish your appetizer before sending out the food or whatever you ordered and in this case which was the Pho. After finishing our crispy tofu within a minute or two the soup came out with steam running upside the bowls. My friend who has eaten Vietnamese food for most of his life enjoyed the Pho so that this is the first time I ever remember him commenting on anything Vietnamese. Your restaurant pretty much is cleaned and well staffed for this 18th today of April Saturday 2026. The menu is still extensive from what I remember from last time which is a good thing the only thing I didn't like was I took off the banh xao :( I would say parking is ample considering it's a corner cap sharing the strip with other businesses. It's right in front of the Home Depot if you need a landmark.

I ended up throwing most of my order in the trash. As I was waiting I noticed 2 tables towards the restroom that had so much "junk" on them. I began to worry about my dinner choice.

Searching for a banh mi sandwich with tofu for a quick lunch takeout, I was pleased to see that the restaurant was close to interstate 45 for a quick stop on the way back to Houston (timing is everything to beat the traffic in this area - IYKYK). I ended up ordering both the tofu vermicelli and a tofu banh mi because obviously, you need to try more than one thing. It was fine. Out of the two dishes, the vermicelli was my favorite. It came with a generous portion of noodles, a small lettuce and shredded carrot salad, several large wedges of tofu in a kind of curry sauce, and the classic vermicelli sauce to drizzle over the whole dish. The flavor was good, although what I would consider a slight deviation from traditional flavors, and overall filling. Vermicelli is always a dependable choice and I was satisfied with this dish. The tofu banh mi, however was nothing special. I prefer the bread to be a bit more crispy on the outside with a soft interior and this one was fairly soft all over. Inside, the tofu really needed more seasoning, seemingly cooked without any added flavors except for the fried finish. I added some hoisin sauce but still it needed something more. I'm always eager to try new places but not sure that this one will be a repeat for me.
