The Most Anticipated Houston Restaurant Openings, Winter 2025 | Eater Houston

"A fast-casual build-your-own pho concept from Kiet and Julie Duong (of Crawfish Cafe) will expand with a Galleria location (February) and a Pearland location (March). The interactive pho experience lets diners customize Vietnamese soups with pho broth made fresh daily and proteins such as oxtail, beef rib, brisket, bone marrow, and Vietnamese ham; vegan broth options use tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and boy choy, and there are miniature pho bowls for kids featuring chicken or meatballs. Other offerings include lemongrass shrimp sate, Bo Koho (a 12-hour braised brisket and tendon stew), egg rolls, and the Pho Dip — the owners’ take on a French dip featuring fatty brisket, bone marrow buttes spread, basil, cilantro, and onion on a baked baguette with spicy aioli and hoisin, served with a side of beef broth for dipping. Each location will offer indoor seating plus carry-out, delivery, and catering." - Brittany Britto Garley
