i have been eating here since 2016. for the past year i come here atleast every week and it never gets old. my personal recommendation is the salt and pepper wings , they are always fresh and crispy and the flavor is to die for. i also get the beef pho and the broth is always rich in flavor. honestly this is the best place to at in houma. it has great environment, with nice natural light. the waitress and waiters are always sweet and attentive. the food never disappoints, the service never disappoint. i love this place read more

The restaurant is clean with a lot of free parking. I heard the owner has to be up early in the morning to buy fresh ingredients for the day. Come here for lunch and the food is really good even my picky boyfriend likes the fried rice that came with the beef. I also have the fried egg rolls ( not in picture because I was too hungry lol). Usually egg rolls are filled with pork and wrapped with thick yellow wrapper but the egg rolls here are different. The egg rolls are filled with shrimp and crab meat because it near ocean. The wrapper are wrapped with rice paper which are much thinner and that how authentic Vietnamese egg roll supposed to be. read more

It's a shame that this is the only place too get pho in houma. The girls who work there always treat me nice , doing their job well. But for some reason I have gotten very undesirable service from a few of the guys who work front of house. I walked in yesterday, approached the cash register, told the guy what I wanted and he just gave me this blank stare for a few moments before shaking his head as if he was stuck in some kind of trance to say "sorry I didn't catch that". Then he didn't provide me with a receipt and asked if I would be okay with just taking $4 of change when I was owed $4.60. I said I would like it all, so he proceeded to count out my 60 cents in all pennies. I've had undesirable experiences with the guys in there the past few times I've been. I Will not be coming back to this restaurant. Pho was pretty good. The vibes didn't feel so great, the guy I mentioned before kept running back and forth from the kitchen while I was waiting on my food, too come slice a paper or two off the roll with his cute little box cutter. read more

Wherever I go, I run back to my first love, Pho, like phoreal. Nothing is better than a hot bowl of beef noodle soup on a rainy day, even if it's 100 degree outside . I usually get the combination pho with rare beef steak on the side. I add that into the hot broth, so it's cooked just right, medium rare. I love my bean sprouts steamed as well, adds a different texture and not as strong. I sometimes sub some of my noodles for bean sprouts, so it kinda helps with the carbs. My broth was flavorful, there were a ton of meat! They were busy during lunch, but the staff was quick. Very attentive and did an amazing job. Shout out to Gage/Gabe he checked up on me often, really made sure I got everything I needed. He went above and beyond even with how busy the place was. Great asset to the business, very personable and quick. read more

This place is very rude don't great you at all and they just look at you standing there so basically you might as well cook your own food and the lady got mad because I was asking for the sandwich whitch they have online and she starting catching a attitude when I said well can y'all take it offline because that's the only reason I came driving 30 min away read more

We ordered the crispy crab and shrimp spring rolls, chicken pho, and the birds nest with beef. For being the only pho place in the area this is an excellent choice. We enjoyed all the food and will definitely return. The service was good and the place was nice and clean. read more

This was a good place to come grab lunch. I liked their decor and service. The preparation of food was good. I had meatball pho with grilled shrimp rolls and a boba tea. The spring rolls were good.. very large portion with a crispy noodle in the inside to give a nice crunch. The pho was okay but the broth was not as good as some other places I've been to. The meatballs did not taste good at all in my opinion but I wasn't feeling particularly good and that's why I choose pho for lunch. The meatballs tasted flavorless and maybe prepared without draining the blood as it had that iron taste to it. The reason I give it two stars is the waiters and waitresses were standing around making odd noises very loudly. I wasn't sure what they were doing. My interpretation of it was that they were mocking someone that was mentally retarded. Five grown adults making fun of mentally challenged individuals.......is not funny. Whatever they were doing... I found it incredibly obnoxious. I hurried through my meal so I could leave. read more

Very high priced. Food is good, very authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Pho is just what it should be with a great variety. Service was wonderful and dinning area is well kept and clean. I do recommend it. read more

Food juts ok. Too expensive for what it is. I will get the chicken pho. Nothing else. But I will keep coming back.

Me and my wife walked in to the White Bowl about 3 315 today September 7 . Their was no one in the place but us. We sat down at a table and their were three employees at the bar. Two women sitting and a man with a hat standing in the back it Looked like they were fixing the silverware and they were talking to each other. We were never greeted by anyone. We sat down because the sign said sit anywhere. We were in their a good 3 to 5 minutes before one of the waitresses got up and went get us some menus. We ordered a fried rice dish, two bowels of chicken pho. Well the pho was pretty much tasteless and too salty. The chicken was tough and a little bitter.My wife didn't eat hers and we never got the rice dish we ordered and I think that was a good thing.. I don't think I will be returning any time soon. They need to learn when paying costumers come in to eat at your place you should at least great them because to me you're saying I don't need your business. If the guy behind the bar was the person in charge he needs to go to Pho NOLA on Transcontinental in Metairie and learn some costumer service skills because the couple who owns that place no how to treat people. read more

I absolutely love this place. Only complaint is when I go in one time I didn't tip for a $5 to go order and the girls kept treating me like I didn't exist after wards, even when I returned the days following and actually tipped read more

Authentic food, great service every time. Always greeted with smiles. Bun Bo hue was great.

So delicious. Wholesome ingredients perfectly prepared and presented. Helpful staff. Clean, restful interior. A new favorite place.

Crispy shrimp/crab rolls were good but tiny and not worth the $9. Would not go back. Disappointed

Great bun Bo hue. I go here for it at least once per week. Only pho place in the area, so it's a good place to go get that pho fix.

Can I tell you that this place was "licked the plate" good? I thought I would be good on my diet, but I was on a seafood diet here!!! I seen the food, I ate the food!!!! Everything was "finger licking goodness!" We for the White Bowl chicken wings (chili honey glazed) yum yum! And the grilled shrimp spring rolls-filling!!!! And the piece de resistance - the combo meat Bits's nest - which consist of crispy egg noodles with a yummy hoisin/oyster sauce- oh goodness - we made a Happy Plate!!! I usually take pictures but I was stuffing my mouth with yummy food I forgot to take 'Em! That is so not like me! LOL We didn't have room for much after our meal- we shared because the portions were so large - we had no room for dessert! However I did have the Thai Tea with Lychee boba was an amazing combo- this was a new drink for me! We were visiting in Houma but we will definitely come back for seconds!!!! read more

With new ownership this place has seemed to turn around a bit, the pho is more classical and there staff is more knowledgeable of the cuisine presented, I enjoy the combination Pho, shrimp and pork spring rolls with their delicious peanut sauce! read more

I have yet to get into pho. The chicken pho was good but underwhelming. They provide everything you need for the soup like the bean sprouts, hot sauce and sweet/pungent brown sauce. read more

The food was ok needed a little more flavor the service was super nice so that was a bonus

Yay! Pho in Houma!!! Moved here from Los Angeles where I lived in Koreatown and ate Pho almost every other day. I was sad to think I wouldn't get it here in Houma and was delighted to see this place and try it out. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was very fresh and tasty and big portions and the bathrooms are even clean! Will definitely be back! read more

Nice ambiance, friendly staff and yummy Pho. Of course when I go to a Vietnamese place all I want is Pho. I enjoyed my thin beef pho very much. Well prepared, spicy flavor and nice portion options. I will definitely be coming back. Finally a Pho place in Houma. On my way out I got a mango bubble tea that did not disappoint. read more

Lovely staff, good menu and outstanding special menu! I'm an ex-NYC er and now live in LA and am a huge fan of Vietnamese cuisine ( although you gotta go to Garden Grove for the real V food), so I was thrilled to find this gem in of all places, Houma, LA. while visiting for my niece's wedding. The decor is also well thought out with a nice bar. One suggestion: please put Shrimp wrapped in sugar cane on your menu and please add a hook or a table for purses in the ladies room. read more

White Bowl - Pho Rare Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

As much as I want to like this place, they have done everything they could since the new ownership to drive us away. Slow and forgetful service, waiting 45 minutes for food, missing items from entrees, insisting on serving Bun on a flat plate instead of a bowl were not enough to stop us from eating there a few times per month. Tonight our Salt & Pepper wings were burned and dried. We sent them back requesting a suitably cooked replacement. The kitchen sent the waitress back to the table with the black burned wings to tell us "that's how they come". We canceled our order and left. read more

Not soo tasty. Needs more flavor. The grill shrimp doesn't look the same as in the pics!! It looks like lightly grill shrimp without seasoning read more

Order the pork vermicelli. You'll thank yourself. It's wonderful. They also sell pho.

White Bowl has the best fried rice in Houma. Everything I have tried has been very delicious. The owners may have a bit of a language barrier but they are always very friendly. I say it is a must try!!! read more

When we had our class reunion a few people ate Dinner and a lot of people laugh deathly ill. We will not be back!

If you want to work somewhere and eat french fries, watch tv, wear shorts and t shirt, and have time to check your phone then this is the place for you! My server did all of the above AND I still paid her a good tip even though I got up once to tear her away from the tv and her french fries and ask for more water. The sign out front says casual dining but I've never been to White Bowl and didn't know the staff took casual so seriously. We picked a place to sit and I looked down because I stepped on crumbs that were all over the floor by the windows. Guess they were too busy the night before or morning of to sweep the floors. Our food and drinks were nothing special to rave about. It was just good. Had plenty leftover to bring home. read more

There's better pho and Banh Mis out there. But it's not bad. Right there in the middle. Servers are nice, it's clean. Food is just ok.

It was pretty good, not what I expected. I got the rare steak pho , the cilantro wasn't good in there .

I previously wrote a bad review. I take it back. This place is awesome again. Pork bird nest was amazing! Ask for the special hot sauce and extra sauce!! read more
