Hot stone pho with theatrical flair, sizzling stone bowls, communal tables
"At Ong Jas Viet Kitchen, chef Jas Phan brings theatrical flair by serving pho in sizzling volcanic stone bowls that arrive bubbling furiously in a colorful dining room with communal tables and hanging fish sculptures; the noodles, filet mignon, brisket, meatballs, and herbs are plated on the side so I can add ingredients gradually to prevent soggy noodles and ensure the meat cooks just so—an approach that has gone viral while still honoring Vietnamese roots." - ByBao Ong
"This Pearland newbie serves up all of the familiar Vietnamese dishes, like bánh mì, vermicelli, and beef and chicken phở. What diners may not be familiar with is the stone pot phở. With this dish, the broth is served piping hot in a stone bowl, with meat, noodles, and vegetables presented on the side. Dip and eat as you go, like you would with a hot pot, or add everything in at once — the stone bowl keeps the soup hot until the very last slurp." - Minh Truong
"A newly opened Pearland Vietnamese restaurant from Jas Phan and Thanh Nguyen (the team behind Migo Saigon Street Food) centers its menu on stone pot pho: a deconstructed pho served with bubbling beef broth in a hot stone bowl while meat, noodles and vegetables are presented on the side so diners can dip like hot pot or combine everything as a regular bowl. Fans praise the format because the broth stays hot, the noodles don’t get soggy and delicate toppings — notably rare filet mignon — avoid overcooking. The broth is Northern-style, a pure beef bone stock simmered for 12 hours and seasoned with the owner’s proprietary spice blend without any MSG. The stone pot pho is priced at $14.50 and comes with four standard toppings (filet mignon, brisket, beef meatballs and tendon) with options to add fatty brisket, flank and other proteins; the rest of the menu includes traditional pho variations (chicken, shrimp, vegetarian), appetizers, rice and vermicelli dishes, specialty drinks like panda milk tea, and chef-signature plates such as garlic noodles with shaking beef and fried tomato rice. The space, designed by Phan, is stylish yet casual and family-friendly, featuring picnic-style tables, two murals, a large Buddhist altar, five hanging fish sculptures representing family members and custom stone tableware imported from Vietnam. A viral TikTok showcasing the stone pot pho drew substantial attention (over 400,000 views), and the owners are banking on easy access from central Houston via a newly constructed HOV lane to attract suburban and city diners alike." - Mai Pham
