Very yummy pho, not bland, and I like that it has a dark color and a light topping of fat

Food was amazing but the service was horrible. Did not come check on us to refill drinks and did not get our order correctly.

The shaken beef is incredible. Beef is tender and flavor is very rich. This is a must try. The vermicelli, smoothies, coffee, and rice dishes are good. The pho and spring rolls are OK. Pho is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Service is OK. Prices are very fair.

The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The server came over took our order and that was the last time we saw her. The cooks brought out the food and also disappeared. I wanted to ask for some cilantro and jalapeño to go with my dry vermicelli noodles, and had to get up myself and walk to the kitchen to ask. I waved at the waitress multiple times and she just looked at me and walked by me. The food was not good. They gave me a tiny dish of fish sauce for a big bowl of vermicelli. I wanted to ask for more fish sauce but again everyone disappeared. The food came out not even 10 minutes after we ordered. I could tell by the dried out cold chicken they precook everything in the morning and heat it up. We had to go upfront to pay because once they take your order you never see a server again. We will never come back here

Pho Hai Van is a small, physically unimpressive restaurant crammed into a shopping strip off Scarborough Rd in Houston, an area with a significant Vietnamese population. The inside is mostly hard wood tables and wood chairs with a few wood-bench booths. However non-aesthetically pleasing it is, the food more than makes up for! I've never been one to care much for appearances and Pho Hai Van delivers here! Their spring rolls always seem fresh and their pho always hot and delicious. Lately I've been ordering the B6 "Bun Xao Xa Ot", a vermicelli bowl with stir-fried beef (you can also get chicken) green onions, peanuts, lemongrass, and just the right amount of chili peppers to give it a little kick. I admit I'm not a fan of spicy food but the flavor combination plus the little kiss of spice that it gives you really makes this dish a favorite of mine! The price is also good as this will top out around $17 or so with the spring rolls. Don't be fooled by the appearance- this is a good restaurant that also has the benefit of being next to a Vietnamese grocery store named My Quang that really gives you a glimpse of Vietnamese culture!

I finally found my place for bố lúc lắc (shaken beef). Theirs tastes just like the kind I had from a restaurant on Bellaire Blvd when I was a kid which has since been gone with the wind. I don’t know what cut of beef they use and the fair price (I think it was $14) reflects that, which is ok with me. Many other places charge filet mignon price but serve it with less expensive cuts. Perfectly caramelized, succulent, and garlicky. I ordered it with the fried rice - apparently there’s no tomato in it.My partner’s spicy lemongrass tofu vermicelli (was delicious as well. It looked dry but it was flavorful and wasn’t desiccated or overcooked at all.We got a side of the pho broth so we could get an idea I’d say we were both underwhelmed, it tasted a bit too fatty. The taste was a bit bland but maybe intentional. By itself it was 7/10 compared to what I’m used to from restaurants on Bellaire.Since I grew up in Alief, I never sought out another Viet area outside of SW/W Houston but I was visiting family on this side and I’m so happy I had the chance to check this out! Our server was great too, he helped me pick between this dish and bun rieu.
Horrible place lots of insects the cook are really rude they come out and see who are they making food for and if they don’t like how you look they deny to cook for you had a table of 8 requested some food and they refuse to do it even the waiter apologized to us because he didn’t know why they where being like that and once we got up to leave all the cooks where laughing at us

The Pho is good with the flavorful broth, but a little disappointed with only 3 pieces beef balls in No.6 pho.The egg rolls are yummy, but the grilled chicken in the spring rolls is quite tough.The staff is nice, but only provided water to one of us.

I've been coming to this place for almost 20 years. It's always been some of the best food around. The food and coffee is on another level. The inside is usually quiet and has nice music playing. The only gripe is that I wish they would come to the table and fill my water more often. Overall amazing experience. Rating 9.3/10
