Bingo! Finally! A Vietnamese restaurant NOT only worthy to stay at its location, but probably one of the top 5 on Veterans Memorial Drive.  
Hiiii folks, I'm here to tell you a little about this death trap of a location that used to be a Mexican Restaurant, then a Vietnamese restaurant with the worst crawfish you would have EVER tasted in your whole life and some to spare to finally this, yes THIS.  I get so excited when I think of how finally close it is to home and don't have to go all the way to Beaumont for the spiciest Bun Bo Hue you, and your taste buds, and your stomach, and your intestines and your anu........well let's just say that you better hope it doesn't burn as much going out as it does in.  I made a review of two Viet restaurants in Beaumont that beats all Houston restaurants as far as the flavor and spiciness until this champion stepped into the ring.  These people don't play, you will hurt yourself (if they serve you the same caliber of spiciness they did me), and you will hurt anybody that tries to take your soup away, it's that good and it's that close.  Please, whoever cooks this in the back, even though it is ridiculously spicy, do not change the recipe, it's unique,it's a bowl of soup from the lava river from hell.
Now that I got that out of the way, you can go ahead and survey around the restaurant and notice that there are hot pot style family style foods ($35) that cater to the taste buds of goat loving meatatarians.  It is a pretty good set up and based on what I saw, it's worth at least a try.
The fried egg rolls, fresh, not flash deep fried after being cooked halfway (half of the restaurants in Houston are guilty of this), very crispy and not oily.  You get three for about $2.50.  The fish sauce that comes with it is a tangy sweet, add your red chili pepper to taste for the custom zing.   
Banh mi bo:  The steak, egg, pate and toasted bread dish which used to be around $14 under the previous owners is now a reasonable $8, but not the same quality of meat.  It is something unique if you are a first time to Vietnamese food and curious what this dish is all about but hold on, if you tried it and liked it, there are a lot better places in Houston that does it better, this is just a gateway price/food to let you know what the Vietnamese cooks are capable of.  By the way, this also comes out sizzling on an iron cast like fajitas. 
The pork chop, egg, rice, and salad dish is perfect for those that don't want half of Wilber the oink in front of them but want to savor the taste that is on par with a good quality staple  dish.  What is unique about this dish here compared to other restaurants (and so few) is that they grill the pork (one) chop from start to finish, it is very tender.  If you've gone to other places you can tell that you've gotten something that was halfway cooked on par for the next day because it's almost like pork jerky, well maybe not THAT tough but almost close enough.  If you want to introduce anybody to the dish so that they get one of the best around, this is the place to get it.
Pho, I like it, I love it, I wanted more of it, I tried, so hard, but I couldn't finish it....it's not a gigantic bowl but there are a lot of different parts of the moo swimming in it that will sample you enough to balance out what you get so that you're not just stuck on one or two types of "meats".   
There was a sense of the star anise, cinnamon, ginger, the whole crew was in the bowl.  If you've eaten enough Pho in your life, you'll be able to tell that care and the ancestorial legend was put into this bowl.
Service.....uh.... well, you'll get to get your order taken, you'll get a good taste bud experience here but you might not get a refill unless you bring  your water cup (or whatever you're drinking) up to the counter.  It's a stop, drop and roll...away.....and stay away type service but that was just the two of the three times that I came here.  I'm sure things are probably better but I'm not holding my breath for my visits
The restaurant is clean, the bathrooms seemed like they got a good renovation, and there's even @gasp soap! And you don't have to jerk off the soap dispenser to get any soap out, everything works in here!
Oh, to the left wing of the establishment there is a wooden patio that would make a good place to enjoy the outdoor, just be alert because the surrounding neighborhood is kind of sketchy. 
I have a feeling that this one is going to be around for a while, they have the variety, the taste, the price and almost the service going for them.  
There are about three televisions in here and one of them seem to always be playing some kind of hometown Hollywood show that might interest you.
I have one request folks, if you do try the bun bo hue and they put it at their regular strength, please,  PLEASE message me and tell me about how spicy it was for you.  I want to gauge this with other places that I bump into.  Happy eating folks.
