How can this place have a 4.5 star rating when they are serving carniceria meat? And the worst kind! I ordered a lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl and what I got had no lemongrass taste whatsoever. I was able to spot the distinct cheap, over seasoned, tough, rough flavor of cheap carniceria meat . I took one bite and left. I will never return to this place again. There was no real Vietnamese flavor to that bowl. Disgusting! The rolls had fishy flavored shrimp and that is a wrap. Not the kind I want to ever experience again!

Pros: only Vietnamese restaurant in Kingwood/Porter, good service, decent menu variety
Cons: food is not good, not much parking
The pho tastes like it was made from canned soup they got from the Kroger across the street. The Bahn mi were edible, but not great. Their spring rolls were hard and way too chewy. And the boba in my milk tea tasted like it was uncooked.
If you are desperate for Vietnamese in Kingwood/Porter, this is edible, but it’s not good. I’ve eaten Vietnamese all over Greater Houston, and this has got to be the worst I’ve ever had; again, edible, but not good.

Please explain how this place has such a good rating. TERRIBLE….. over priced and serving size is mediocre my 5 year old stayed hungry from a $12 small pho… the bahn mi had about 5 slices of pork and the cheese puffs tasted stale. The combination pho was half the plate with 3 slices of beef and 4 halfed meat balls. The only okay thing was the Thai tea. Other than that this was the worst experience.

Me and my family always visit here at least once a month for the past 3 years! Today I was really looking forward to my meal here, but I ended up disappointed. I paid extra for additional meat in our sandwich , but none was added. It’s frustrating to be charged for something you don’t receive, especially when it’s done multiple times!
The flavors were decent, but not enough to make up for the mistake. I hope the restaurant pays closer attention to orders in the future, because accuracy really matters — especially when customers are paying extra.
Unfortunately, based on this visit, I’m not sure I’d return.

Misleading Advertising – This Is NOT Vegetarian Pho
I drove a long distance specifically because this restaurant advertises “vegetarian pho.” As someone who does not eat meat, accuracy in labeling matters. Unfortunately, the description here is not just inaccurate—it is materially misleading.
The so-called “vegetarian” pho is made with animal-based broth (chicken, beef, or pork). That fact was only disclosed after ordering questions were asked, and it directly contradicts the plain meaning of the term vegetarian. A vegetarian item cannot, under any reasonable definition, contain carcass-derived stock.
From a consumer-protection standpoint, this is a textbook example of false or deceptive advertising. When a restaurant represents a dish as vegetarian, the customer has the right to rely on that statement without needing to cross-examine the staff. Many consumers choose vegetarian foods for health, ethical, or religious reasons—none of which are compatible with an animal-based broth.
Had the menu accurately stated “vegetables with meat broth,” I would never have driven out of my way to come here. Instead, I wasted my time and left without being able to order what was advertised.
For anyone who truly needs vegetarian options, be aware: the pho here is not vegetarian in any meaningful or accepted definition.

The soup was alright. The broth was not very flavorful. It had meatballs in it, which were not fresh. They were rubbery, which tells me they were previously frozen; the other meat was okay. The feud egg roll is served w/ a piece of lettuce & julienned carrots w/a clear sweet dipping sauce. For $13.95 I got soup, drink & fried egg roll. Would I go again? Yes, but would like to try their fried rice meals.
They closed at 8:00 pm, we went at 7:00 pm.

This was our favorite place but few things have changed over years and this week decided it was my last visit. We drive further out because it was a perfect spot. The food is still delicious. It’s just the construction to park but then we had waiter that sighed when kindly asked for a relish side for my meal. The relish tasted like it had soap on it, it was nasty. The prices have went up , like $10 more. So with those three things…we decided not to return. I didn’t mention it on my way out, why bother, from other comments heard owner bans you anyway if you complain about anything . One thing I can say was the cashier is always very friendly..but just not worth the drive anymore!

Nice, new restaurant in Kingwood area and I got the pork bahn mix which was very tasty but lots of MSG. I was extremely thirsty afterwards but I would go back and try other dishes too along with their boba drinks!

Best Vietnamese around!! I love to get the shrimp vermicelli bowl. The smoothies with tapioca are delicious too, as well as the iced green tea and Vietnamese coffee. I always have wonderful service. I go a few times a month.
