better than a hot bowl of pho! We have already tried most of the nearby spots, so today we decided to check out this one since it had so many reviews.
When we got there, the place was packed. Parking can be a little tricky—you will probably need to park behind the building or on the right side, since there are two other stores next door. The restaurant itself was full, with a line even outside, but the wait was not bad at all—about 10 minutes. The staff worked quickly and efficiently, so food came out fast and no one had to wait too long, which I really appreciated.
Here is what we ordered:
• Grilled Beef Spring Rolls: Hands down, our favorite dish of the night. Super flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the peanut sauce was spot on. Definitely recommend ordering this one.
• Pho with Two Meats: The broth was a little bland for my taste—not as rich or beefy as I hoped—and it was not served as hot as I usually like.
• Beef Stew (Bo Kho): This also was not piping hot, and the broth leaned more soupy than thick compared to other places I have tried. Also, no carrots in the bowl, which was surprising since that is usually a staple in bo kho.
Overall, though, I think this is a solid spot. The service was quick and friendly—even though the place was super busy, they still made the effort to greet us as we left, which stood out to me. The prices are also a huge bonus—they are honestly the most affordable I have seen in Houston and Katy. I would definitely come back to try more dishes, especially since the grilled beef was seasoned so well.
