The pho broth was just hot water... I asked them about it and they said I could add salt. Also, do not go here if you have any food allergies. They couldn't make any accommodations

Great food and fast service! The chicken on a stick is always great and can't go wrong with the crab rangoons

Enjoyed a yummy lunch on my second day in Houston. The front page of their menu showcased their most popular items, and it don't lie! We got 3 different items from it (all tasted great): * 3 (small) bowls of the Hu Tieu Nam Vang (Rice Noodle Soup Phnom Penh Style), * Banh Mi Bo Kho (French Bread with Beef Stew), and * Com Ga (Rice with Chicken & Ginger Fish Sauce). There was just 3 of us (girls) and they had already brought us our noodle soups.. then they brought the other two dishes to the table beside us thinking we couldn't possibly eat this much. Umm yes sir, all for us. Lol Everything was so delicious. Absolutely loved the noodle soup.. the broth was simply amazing! Then the chicken with the ginger fish sauce.. wow, so good! And lastly, the Banh Mi Bo Kho.. oh yum! Completely satisfying meal.

In an awkward location but food is good. everytime we go to bush airport, we stop by here before the flight. only downside is that they close at 3pm

The pho I ordered here wasn't bad at all, but it was probably my least favorite pho around the area. There are several Vietnamese places around this area of Houston, and I preferred them, especially Ba Mien Bistro.

Great food! Service is kind and rather quick. My guy stumbled upon this restaurant looking to order through delivery service during the week. He was so impressed with take out he said we had to go try it for dine in. It's nothing fancy. Very casual with a variety of people enjoying their menu. Plenty of options and very good quality product.

Used to be great. Like 3 owners ago. Downhill slide prices through the roof. Went in and saw 12.95 for vermicelli on white sticker jacking up prices again and that's the end. See ya.

I love the authentic flavor of the broth and the noodles are amazing! Don't let the outside appearance of this place fool you! It is family owned and the best time to go is before noon!

I was hoping to love this place, but I have to be honest! (I don't care if this restaurant is a trailer, a truck, or a cardboard box. I'm solely reviewing the pho here.) My boyfriend and I ordered pho đặc biệt, but there was nothing đặc biệt about it to me! The broth was bland and there was an obvious lack of noodles and meat. No amount of hoisin sauce would have fixed it. We both left unsatisfied and rather disappointed. My boyfriend recalled eating here years ago and remembered it being decent. Not any more! Some people here mentioned that they prefer the pho here instead of chinatown pho because the spices in the broth aren't as overwhelming. Maybe I'm just used to chinatown pho!? Or maybe they're inconsistent with the broth... The reviews here have me confused enough to give this place another chance if I'm ever in the area again. But beware chinatown pho lovers...it probably won't be what you're used to.
I'm not a fan of pho but this place is actually legit. Place is kinda run down but if you don't care about that pho is legit. Also CASH ONLY!

The food is so small but the service is good ，I ordered the large one but I didn't feel the food is enough for me ，so little food so upset

When you hear about strong Vietnamese food in Houston, this is what you want. They do one thing and one thing only - pho - and they are masters of it. Beef and chicken broth options, a variety of meat choices, and different bowl sizes. That's really it! Highly recommended, extremely flavorful. What you want if you prefer authenticity over a ritzy experience. This place has charm - how could a converted trailer home packed tight with tables, a minuscule parking lot that makes parking feels like high-stakes Tetris, and a cash only pay at the front model not have charm?! Hopefully you like charm, because it's delicious.

Top Reason why I came home often from college: Specifically to get Pho Ga Kho from here on Saturdays.....Oh, and to visit my family of course! This place has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. Same place, same atmosphere, same bowl of pho and every time it just hits the sweet spot. If you're reading this, STOP! JUST GO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!

Don't be fooled by its appearance on the outside, because the food will absolutely tell you differently! This is my favorite spot to go to every week for pho. The food is amazing, the pricing is really fair (about $10 for a large bowl), and what I honestly love most is that the service is ridiculously fast. As a regular, I would come in, and order and have the food brought out to me within 5 minutes! Although this spot is delicious, some cons are that the spacing is very limited, if you are coming during rush hours, there's a possibility that you may be seated with others because of the spacing, and it is a cash only restaurant, otherwise than that, Pho Binh is 100% worth the experience!
