    The pho broth flavor was delicious, it didn't need any sauces to be added, when a pho is good, there is no need to add more. I enjoyed the beef balls, they were so delicious, i was mostly amazed by the broth both taste and smell. The restaurant was clean and it looked nice inside, the staff was friendly and attentive. The prices here however are a bit on the high side, but overall a great place to eat.

    I tried pho for the first time today. I loved it! The Special Combination Beef Noodle Soup with Tenderloin, Flank, Beef Balls, and Soft Tendon was so good! Don't forget to add the special sauce for extra flavor! It is VERY filling but doesn't feel heavy. The Egg Rolls are tiny but pack so much flavor! The Spring Rolls are amazing with the peanut sauce. This will not be the last time I eat Vietnamese cuisine!

    4C (beef pho) is the most filling and healing bowl I've ever consumed. I love being an established customer. 💗 the iced coffee is really good too!

    Disappointed. The quality has gone down. My noodles were dry and stale. Not fresh. The egg rolls that came with the noodle dish was veggie egg roll and not pork. We basically paid $13 for the meat. The pork egg rolls. I ordered were also on the mini side not the regular size. I don’t mind paying a little more to receive better quality. But don’t skimp on the product bc this is a reason for me not to come back. And we have been eating here for years.

    The best pho I’ve ever had. I don’t want it from anywhere else. Too bad your 8 hours from home. This will be one stop I have to make when I’m in the valley.

    Based on other pho places in the valley, I had a bad initial first impression because most places were pretty bland. I went with friends and honestly, this place beat all expectations. The broth had so much flavor, and the entire bowl was delicious. I'd definitely go again.

    I lived in Houston almost 30 years, and have been eating Vietnamese Pho since 1985. The name caught my attention so I just had to stop. The hot Soup was as perfect as I remember. I ordered the noodle with flank, brisket, meatball, and tripe. It was delicious, especially with the hoisin sauce as a must! The setup was the traditional Sprouts, mint, lemon wedges, and sliced pepper. Give it a try! This hidden jewel can almost be missed, so look south while on Nolana near 2nd. I’ll be back for sure. Tell them Yo Adrian sent you, and they’ll say “Who’s That?!!”

    First pho experience in RGV. I like the inside, it's clean with friendly staff. Looking at the menu , from the pricing, I was expecting the bigger bowl. Pho broth itself was pretty good, pretty rich in flavor. Thai tea was worst I've had ever. Dim s was good, I just wish the pricing and portion was better.

    Good chow but OMGOSH.. Expensive isn't even the best word to use. A flight to 🇻🇳 might be cheaper.. We were on this end of the Valley and I do enjoy Pho and eggrolls.. Pho Houston piles on the flavor and the portions are large enough to bring a few eggrolls home to the casa. Super friendly service with a smile. The food comes out fast, hot and full of Asian flavor. For being in the Valley, it's pretty good stuff.. I'd do it again if we're in the McAllen area.. Plotted..Scouts Out.

    Great Vietnamese food! I had Vermicelli with good sized shrimp and vegetables for $11.95. Huge portions! Pay in cash for a discount. Definitely will go back! Too bad they're closed on Wednesday, I'm always looking for a place to eat while hubby plays on his pool league.

    For a bit over $14 I received the smallest amount of noodles and chicken meat as my ga. Not worth the drive for this subpar dish that was not even close to as what was advertised. They really dropped the ball on a dish that should be filling at best. Definitely never going back. Rip off!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Great Pho place; young coconut water; good service; great flavor.

    Got a bowl of ramen veggies and tofu. The food had so much flavor. I also like to eat healthy wasn’t expecting a bowl of bean sprouts as a Wow appetizer, my main was also fairly healthy full of veggies. The atmosphere of the place is calm and pleasant. The service was good, the servers are very polite. Nice place.

    This place is awesome!!!! If you are looking for delicious food I highly recommend this place. This review is based on my experiance at the restaurant and because I was really impressed I have gone back multiple times. The establishment is clean, the tables are stocked with sauces, eating utensils, straws, etc.which are also clean and not sticky, poked at, or what not. I have tried multiple items on the menu and have never been disappointed. The serving sizes for the pho are huge and very filling which is why I usually get a number 8. The pho is flavorful, non greasy, filled with portions of meat and noodles that are sufficient and filling to me. The pho is like a warm hug and very soothing it doesnt leave me with a greasy after taste, heartburn, or regret. I love it!! The beansprouts, basil, and cilantro brought to include in the pho are fresh and crisp and enhance the dish very well. You get refills on water but not on sweet/unsweet teas. You can also expect canned sodas and not fountain sodas which you will be provided a cup (medium) and ice to pour your drink. So either order multiple drinks or drink your drink slowly if you wish to have something during your meal. When you pay there is a small service fee I believe for using cards which it seems most businesses are doing these days. All in all very positive and delicious experiance!

    Most delicious and authentic Vietnamese Pho noodle soups I've ever had.

  • 4/5 Ia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Order their #1B Vegetable egg rolls and were good. Wish we could of had the sweet & sticky sauce. Had the #8 Special Combination Pho with Beef tenderloin, flank, Beef meatballs, and soft tendon. Perfect dish for cold weather like today. Service was odd, took quite a bit for only waitress to come by with menu's and to take drink order. The busboy staff didn't know much about menu and hard to communicate with. Not sure what happened this visit but will say the taste makes up for the experience,

    Pho broth was sweet tasted alot of cinnamon. Egg rolls were delicious and salad served was super fresh. Not my cup of soup. My humble opinion. In all fairness I didn't have anything else. Waitress was friendly and helpful.

  • 4/5 Upper Crust C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here. The servers were very friendly and SUPER FAST! :) The dim sum is really good. No condiments needed. The Pad Thai that my husband got was delicious. I enjoyed my vermicelli, vegetables and chicken, but the chicken was very dry. The spring rolls with shrimp were very good, too! Would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Sarah Nicole S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow!! Just WOW! This was my first time here and I was just blown away by the service, the cleanliness and the QUALITY of this food! The flavors of the broth just harmonized beautifully. Spring rolls with peanut sauce were on point. I can’t wait to come back already.. they even packaged my food to go because it was just sooooo much.

    The food was incredible. They used fresh ingredients, which really made a difference in the taste. I loved it. We took the entire family and were treated very well by the staff. They were very accommodating for our group. I'll be back.

  • 5/5 Santiago C. 1 year ago on Google
    A really good Vietnamese spot. The quality of the pho is consistent, particularly in their beef which I really appreciate it. I always order the number 5 (Beef pho) and some egg rolls. Both items are delicious and come in sizable portions. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the environment is family friendly. I would recommend this place for a family dinner or outing with friends. Very yummy 😋

    Never Disappoints! My daughter had tofu noodles and I had beef tenderloin pho and vegetable spring rolls!

  • 5/5 Esther F. 2 years ago on Google
    The peppers for the pho kicked my butt lol I ordered 1 beef pho, 2 orders of shrimp spring rolls, and 1 chicken pad Thai. We barely finished our pho (divided into 3 bowls) and spring rolls. Gotta wait awhile for our food to go down before we can try our pad Thai. Thank you so much, we loved it. We ordered pick-up and all sides were included. Sliced onion, chopped reen onion, noodles, bean sprouts, cilantro, peppers, lime, basil leaves, and a small condiment bowl with a dark brown sauce in it. Our spring rolls came with that delicious peanut sauce. We'll definitely be ordering from you again!
