From…read morethe moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels clean, relaxed, and welcoming perfect whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal. The pho itself is the star of the show. The broth is rich, flavorful, and tastes like it's been simmered for hours. You can really tell they don't cut corners. The meat is tender, the noodles are cooked just right, and the portions are generous. Every bowl comes out fresh and piping hot. Service is also on point. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick without making you feel rushed. They make sure everything comes out right and are happy to help if you have questions about the menu. Overall, Pho Empire delivers on all fronts great food, solid service, and a comfortable vibe. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to and would recommend to anyone looking for authentic, satisfying Vietnamese food.

I liked the fried tofu vermicelli bowl, and there were a variety of vegan/vegetarian dishes that were separate on the menu. It had a nice vibe inside, some tvs with sports and music playing.

The lunch combo is easily the best deal in town: you get a massive bowl of pho, an egg roll or fresh spring roll, and a soda for under $13. If you're just grabbing a quick bite, their banh mi is under $6 and hits the spot every time. The highlights: The Broth: Super clean, aromatic, and full of flavor. Vermicelli Bowls: Everything is so fresh, the grilled meats are perfect. Vibe: It's a huge, comfortable space with great service. Can't recommend it enough.

Solid place for authentic Laos food. Highly recommend if you're missing the taste of Laos food…read more It's not your normal restaurant. They don't ask you about a drink. You just get it from their fridge. I liked their beef larb. Level 4 was pretty spicy. We got it cooked. The Laos sausage was good but tasted like the ones you can buy yourself and cook. Their nam Khao had very good flavor. My only critique is that it could be even crispier and it would be perfect. Their Khao poon is okay not bad. I like my mother in laws better. Khao piek had good hearty broth flavor. Overall would come back if in the area! Their ambiance is a restaurant combined with a market you can get some pantry or frozen foods.

My husband and I stopped at Luang Prabang Market before our flight home, and wow, this place is a…read moretrue hidden gem. It's tucked away and attached to a small Lao grocery store, which honestly made it feel even more authentic. The moment we walked in, it felt like we were about to get a home-cooked meal. We ordered the organ soup with sticky rice, beef lahp, and nam khao, and everything was absolutely delicious. The broth in the organ soup was rich, clean, and deeply flavorful, exactly how it's supposed to taste. The sticky rice came out warm and perfectly chewy. The beef lahp was bright and herbaceous with the right amount of spice and lime, super fresh, and tasted just like what we've had in Laos/at family gatherings. And the nam khao was crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients here. What I appreciated most is the authenticity. A lot of other reviewers mentioned that this is one of the few places in Texas where the food tastes "just like home," and I completely agree. Multiple people also mentioned the friendly staff and how the market side carries essentials and hard-to-find Lao/Thai items. We felt the same way, everyone was kind, and the grocery section is a nice bonus for anyone looking for snacks or specialty ingredients. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the quality was amazing. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when traveling. If you want real Lao food, skip the trendy places and come here instead. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Texas. Highly, highly recommend.

Ordered my pork and shrimp vermicelli and within maybe 10min if not sooner it was out. Looked really appealing. Ordered an egg roll with it thos is the first place that chops it up and puts it in my Vermicelli im not mad at it it was pretty damn good. Only issue I had was I widh it would have had a bit more bean sprouts. Initially I didn't think they had put any nut found it at the bottom of the bowl. All I all it was extremely good.

They give you a beautifully thin sliced lime with your water. Today I tried a little of the chicken pho and did not regret one bite. They even given you sides of sauces and additives. Always a good time. Just a nice hole in the wall place. 10/10 bring a friend :) Update: came here after renovations. Super excited and happy for this shop. The Bún Nen Nuőng was super delicious and refreshing as it always is. I loved the Beef Banh Mi as well. The matcha flavor is rich and super tasty. The way the flavors leave you full but not bloated, moreso refreshed makes me so happy. The staff are so sweet and kind. Very clean and considerate. Still a 10/10. :)

This was our first visit to the Arlington location, and it was great to have the same kind of food we enjoy much closer to home in North Texas. We had the Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Pancake), Chicken Rice with Cabbage Salad, and Chicken Rice with Banana Flower Salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Bánh Xèo was crispy and packed with flavor, and both chicken rice dishes were simple, authentic, and very well done. Our waitress was a little concerned that I might not like the banana flower salad, which gave us a good laugh. I've been eating Vietnamese food for more than 30 years. I married into a Vietnamese family for a reason. Needless to say, the banana flower was not a problem at all, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We truly enjoy this place, and having an Arlington location means we no longer have to wait for a trip to Houston to get it. We are very happy to have Cơm Gà Houston in North Texas and will definitely be back!

Love this place. Good parking at lunchtime because it's in a shared plaza…read more You can order on a kiosk upon walking in which is very convenient. Inside is clean and has themed decor for the holiday season. They accept online orders to order ahead for pickup. Online ordering - They don't have the option to add additional items to the curry online but I called and he did an exception. I like to add extra veggies and tofu to mine. Today I did Dine-In & tried the red curry - lunch combo - and it was AMAZING. I drank all remaining broth and I have never done that with curry. The combo included a fried spring roll (with sweet chili sauce) with the meal and a small appetizer salad with pink sauce. The food was prepared promptly during my lunch break. I will be bringing coworkers here. Thank you!
