Pho Binh

MY REVIEW: We're elated that this location is now open Saturday and Sunday! It is our favorite pho in town and the bun dishes are yummy. The food is always fresh and the wait staff helpful. They have added smoothies to the menu which are very fun and complement the savory dishes quite nicely. We highly recommend it!

MY REVIEW: I went for lunch. I was very dissapointed. They were out of chicken Pho (pho Ga) and they did not have Bun Bo Hue on the menu so I tried the beef Pho and a pork sandwich (Banh Mi Thit Nuong). The broth was luke warm and weak (no nice anise flavor), the bread was stale, the sprouts were turning brown. Fortunatley there are lots better places to go for pho in Houston.

MY REVIEW: The noodle soup (pho) with beef, chicken, or whatever is great. The veggies to be acced (basil, silantro, bean sporuts, lime slices, jalopenos) are great. The vermicilli dishes (grilled pork, chicken) are great. Spring rolls are great. Vietnamese coffee is great. Haven't tried other items yet. I am ther once a week.

MY REVIEW: I have try to eat at this place for about 2-3 months now and always end-up go when it was close like Saturdays morning. Finally I went there for lunch on Thursday to pickup two Bun to go. The have a bbq pit in the middle of the restaurant where a cook get all the bbq meat ready. The bun tasted very good and authentic. The lady that go my order was very nice and efficient. I sat on a bench while waiting for my order and some lady came and gave me a glass of water.

This place is awesome since I live in Rice Military it's only 5 miles away.

MY REVIEW: Went with a group for lunch. Waitstaff were attentive, no one lacked for drinks, condiments or sides. With nine (9) of us we expected a longer wait for our food but it came out quickly and really hot! Everyone enjoyed their lunch and look forward to going again.

MY REVIEW: horrible. Pho -- beef stock is mediocre, beef is not the freshest, bo vien (meatballs) has odd texture. Sandwiches - sparsely filled and for $3.50 (The best sandwiches in town are no more than $2.50 a piece!) A thin, overly sweet single slice of BBQ pork fills the center of this sandwich...very disappointing. Spring Rolls -- the absolute worst I've had. shrimp isn't fresh, rice paper is dried out, and vermicelli noodle is overcooked. mushy consistency, lacks fresh ingredients.

perhaps the other locations are better, but anyone can do better than this place. try c*ali sandwiches or v*an loc in midtown. better yet, try b*odard bistro in bellaire.

MY REVIEW: Finally - there's a pho place in the area that I really enjoy, don't mind going on there couple of time during the week. I'm so addicted to their broth both chicken & beef. I also love all their grill dishes - very tasty seasoning. The staff are so friendly too.

MY REVIEW: I was so pleased when this place sprang up.

Pho, however you order it, is great. I appreciate the fresh crisp herbs that sometimes hang droopily over the plate at establishments downtown.

The spring rolls really are great. Considering how much of a fad they've become (they even serve them in cruddy Chinese restaurants apparently) and how often you see them, this is factor to consider.

My main dish is the charbroiled pork over vermicelli. Pork is moist with a tiny bit of fat without being low grade and greasy.

And the staff is very sweet and friendly. Love this place!

MY REVIEW: This place is excellent. I'm a little biased being that Pho Binh gave me my first "pho" experience, but since then I have eaten at other restaurants and have not found the pho to be better than it is here. It's just too bad I don't live near it any more.

MY REVIEW: These folks are working hard and it shows. The food is excellent. Very fresh and high quality ingredients and reasonable prices. The Pho (soup)is wonderfully subtle and well seasoned. Their Bun (noodle) dishes are terrific. We love this place and go almost once a week. The menu is limited, but what they do - they do very well.

MY REVIEW: This is a REAL PHO place where you can enjoy a bowl of Pho (Beef Noodle Soup) with an unique flavor from Hanoi, Vietnam. It's too bad that they close at 4pm everyday.... I love this place very much. Recommend to everyone!
