Stopped in for the first time today and I’m so glad I did. I ordered the Pork Banh Mi and shrimp eggrolls to-go and everything was excellent. I was in a rush, and they had my food out fast. The banh mi was incredible—tender grilled pork and perfectly crisp, soft bread. The place looks simple from the street but is clean and welcoming inside. I’ve definitely found my new go‑to lunch spot. Great food, quick service, and very reasonable prices.

Usually get Pho Ga from here, which is very good and their spring rolls. Today got a banh mi and OMG... the best yet. Bread was soft and crisp, packed with meat and perfect amount of veggies. Going to have to start trying more things from place.
The service from them is always very polite and kind.
Overall 10/10...

Got tom yum soup. It’s ok, but it’s sweet, there are green bell peppers, not a hint of lemon grass or galangal. Onions and green bell peppers were large, the tomatoes were chopped small. It tastes ok, the heat was good, but it is not traditional tom yum.
Great people, great food. I wanted something light and had no idea what to get. One of their team members helped me decide, it was awesome. I will be back for sure - their chili oil is very good.

I feel betrayed by the past reviews on this restaurant, I thought it was gonna be really good. I spent about $40 worth of food ready to have a delicious feast. But I was met with THE most bland food I've ever tasted in my 37 years of life!! Holy crap I had to write a review and express my disappointment. The service was friendly and nice but the food was wow... I didn't understand how it could literally taste like nothing yet have color to it like it's been cooked with sauces and spices. I kid you not it tasted like absolute nothingness. I verified this with my gf who tasted it as well. Unfortunately this was my first and last visit. And for future patrons,I could not in good conscience recommend this place. Hopefully it was just a one off mistake but since I'm visiting out of state I'll never get that chance. So much food wasted. Sorry.

If you like Oreos you need to try the cookies and cream smoothie. I get it every time and it is so delicious and worth the $5. I’ve also tried the combination beef pho and bbq pork bahn mi and they were also good for their price. The menu is very affordable and the customer service is great the 3 times I’ve been there.
I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai w/medium spice. The food was very hot temp wise and I appreciate that! The flavor and spice were perfect for me, the portion size was generous, and customer service is great. I will definitely be back.

I can't believe I live around the corner & never stopped in. I've been hesitant because you can't see inside from outside but, this place is clean, great customer service & amazing food. This is a hidden gem you shouldn't pass up.

I’m very VERY picky about my Vietnamese food. We went here today after our normal sushi place announced they were now closed on Mondays. The food was phenomenal! This is a bit weird, but I can always tell a restaurant’s quality based on their fresh spring rolls. There’s a place in humble that I would only eat at, but wasn’t able to go to for years because I had moved. I felt like the food critic in Ratatouille when he ate the food and had a flashback to his mom’s meal. It was that good. Another review said that these were the best spring rolls in Houston and they were right! I had the seafood pho too. I didn’t have to add anything to the broth, it was very aromatic and tasted amazing. My girlfriend had the bao and the pineapple curry. The jasmine milk tea was great too. No burnt taste.
Great service too! Employees are very friendly and occasionally check in to make sure everything is great so you don’t have to worry about being caught off guard in the middle of eating.
I will definitely be coming back here again. Thanks for the great experience today!
