I prefer LES BA'GET over this. This place is decent, but it just does not hit the same. Broth has room for improvement and the bone marrow dish was great but still not NEARLY as good as LES BA'GET.
affordable cleanup
Nice and small restaurant, barely any parking, no greeting when you arrive. Extremely small menu. The pho had meat in it that was rubbery. Not a place I would revisit.

One of my favorite spots in Houston for Pho! Always yummy. I wish they had more appetizers but ?♀️ the pho is so good I don’t care

Located near downtown Houston. They have their own parking lot. You pay and find your own seat. They provide free lime ice water. The Pho was very delicious, reasonable price.

I'm only giving them 3/5 stars because I've had better pho in Houston. The serving size is pretty big and they do give you a lot. Makes sense though since you're paying over $10 for it. But if you're looking for a more traditional classic pho this is not the place to go. I had the bone marrow which was super fatty and not in a good way. It was extremely oily and I felt yuck afterwards. I had beef noodle soup with their toppings of filet mignon, lean brisket, and beef meatball. Which is their most popular as recommended by the waitress. The staff was very friendly, but the place was dirty. Our table was sticky and parking is a pain.

I love this place. It more like a hidden gem... I am picky on pho, but they did good, be aware the size will be big portion, but that's what I love about them, generous and consistent of quality... if you were looking for authentic Vietnamese pho in the downtown area, here it is. You can also try the beef basil roll and grilled bone marrow. Delicious...

Their menu makes it easy for you to customize your pho which makes ordering more simple. I ordered the bone marrow and passion fruit tea. The bone marrow comes with 3 small slices of bread and it was not bad!

I ordered pho with fatty brisket, tendons, and meatballs. Very tasty and Delicious. Their broth is different from what I had which makes it their specialty.

Best pho inside the loop of Houston. Portions are huge though, which can be a perk for those with big appetite. Their main menu is pho only, essentially. So if you are looking for bahn mi or fried rice or other yummy Vietnamese options, you will need to find an alternative.

This place was amazing. The staff here are great. I ordered the bone marrow, beef pho, spicy cucumbers and the iced coffee. When the waiter brought out my bone marrow, he immediately told me that the bone marrow was lacking and that they were making me a second order free of charge. The bone marrow was delicious and the bread to dip in the soup with it was toasted to perfection. The cucumbers were very refreshing. The coffee was more bitter than I was used to, but somehow tasted better. And the pho was enormous. The broth was tasty and they give a heaping portion of noodles. Would definitely recommend this place
I had high hopes for this place considering the other rave reviews. Anyone giving this place a high rating, have you ever had pho before besides an instant kind from Costco? I think this might be the worst pho I've ever had, I should have known better than to try pho outside of the Bellaire area. The broth is murky and flavorless, seems like they're not really making bone broth from scratch & it's made with pho mix or soup base - it's very off putting. The pho noodles were complete mush, way overcooked. I get that this place is fusion, I ordered most of their appetizers, most were good - but the price is an insane rip off. $5 for 1 spring roll and $6 for a few tiny pieces of pork belly?? The pork belly pieces were the size of a nickel. Obviously I'd never be back & wouldn't recommend this place.

The food we got was really good. Maybe the best Pho I've had so far.But when we went inside, the place had this very bad smell that required a very strong will not to go out and just eat somewhere else.

I have been wanting to try it out, finally got a chance today. Ordering was quiet simple, you choose the base of the broth first, beef soup, chicken soup or vegan. Then you can choose up to 3 proteins or add extra $1 50 to get a combination of meat. There are extra sides you can order as well. There is a list of appetizers, I totally wanted to try roast bone marrow, but the cashier said it was out for the day. Really?! At 2pm? On a Sunday? So we ordered the Vietnamese street corn, roast brisket spring rolls, and two bowls of beef noodle.The street corn is marinated with minced garlic, ginger and some kind of sweet sauce, I prefer something more buttery and creamy. The egg roll was average, the brisket was yum. The beef noodle soup has a lighter taste than most of the pho out there, doesn't make you thirsty afterwards. The taste is good.Let's talk about service, you pay when you order and they bring the food out, so not much service was needed. So tell me why does the cashier was giving me attitude? And it was just towards me, she was totally nice and giggly when she was serving the two guys after me. Maybe just because I am a girl, and she is totally jealous of my beauty, I dun know, can't find an excuse for rudness.

Great small dishes but the pho? What the pho! It's sweet and lacks any depth whatsoever. The color is so off also...I'm not sure what they're doing but they rank near the bottom for authentic pho. I should have went closer to Bellaire. Bone marrow was amazing. The brisket spring rolls were good as well. Not sure if they should continue doing pho since they don't know what they're doing in terms of broth. Inside is clean and well designed. But I won't be back.

The food is ok. Not an authentic pho spot but pretty convenient and plenty of parking - rare for this area. Liked that they have vegan pho option but the taste is quite "pre-mixed" vs. hearty hour-long soup taste you'd look for in good pho. The spring roll sauce was also a bit off.
