Houston- Pho

[SimonBolivar 10949]

What are your favorites?

[msbesq 385]

Pho Saigon, Les Givrals and Kim Son. I understand that Huynh’s is very good.

Pho Saigon, Les Givrals and Kim Son. I understand that Huynh’s is very good.

Huynh’s is the best of the places you listed by far. I’d say it is easily my favorite place to eat.

[ChampKind 1314]

Huynh is the tits. Especially their spicy broth. Simply Pho is also very good.

[PRONG HORN 3114]

I don't know why but the 59 Pho Binh is easily the best quality broth in town.   

I've had it at these places: Pho Saigon, Les Givrals, Kim Son, simply Pho, Pho Binh heights and Westheimer,  Pho VN 21,  Mai's,  And other places.  I wish it was all the same but the 59 Pho Binh beats them all, so everything else is usually a slight let down.  I haven't tried any of the Wilcrest bunch yet.

Pho Binh

Pho Dien

Kau ba on Dunlavy is new and fantastic

[pepper brooks 579]

Les Noodle on Montrose is the best Pho ive ever had anywhere including my mother in law's.  Their broth is so damn rich and flavorful.  The short rib pho special is one of the best things ive ever eaten anywhere.  it's absolutely special.

Pho Binh and get a side of bone marrow to mix in.

I've been to the OG on Beamer, the two on Bellaire, and the one on 59 south and they are all pretty consistent.

Been checking at least once a week to see if the new Les Baget at 34th/Ella is open yet. They've got to be getting close. I need that Pho (and the sous vide pork belly banh mi.)

Pho Huy on Gessner was way above par for me.

[Jimbaround 973]

White Oak Pho Binh never disappoints.

went this past Sunday.  They didn't have the short rib so I ordered the filet, fatty brisket, and meatball.  Damn fine Pho and huge portions.  So much so that it became two meals.  Will go again.

I love pho and I could live off the stuff.  this is why I only stick to pretty much pho tai when I order.  I know I'm probably missing out on some other amazing shit, which is why I need to be more adventurous.  for reference this is pretty much my order rotation when I eat vietnamese: 

  shrimp or pork spring rolls

  vietnamese eggrolls

  pho tai (I often switch it up with tendons, meatballs, brisket, etc.)

  bo kho with a side of noodles

  bahn mi

  durian smoothie

 

I'm .specially epicurious about vermicelli entrees and drinks.

I was with you until the durian smoothie. That is one nasty fruit.

there could be 50 items on the menu, but I pretty much only order what I know, and not all at the same time.

[HoustonHorn 1061]

Had Pho Binh for the first time today. Too much Star Anise/Cinnamon. Overpowering. This was the one on Bellaire. I will say I'm on  some medication right now that is fucking up my taste buds, but it typically makes everything taste to salty and this tasted liked it need a lot more salt to counter the flavor of the Star Anise/Cinammon.

Still ok, but not as good as I was expecting. Will try again when I'm off the medication.

Pho Dien is the correct answer to this thread.

It is excellent.

[billfromlaketravis 11377]

Seconded on Pho Dien. 
 

Pho 21 is also very good and dirt cheap. 

[Tex48 840]

Didn't see it on here: Pho Duy on Wilcrest

[Storm the Field 5274]

Beef belly pho at Les Baget slams and goes hard.

I've lately been grabbing lunch at Pho Ben in the shopping center next to 11th Street Kroger. Place is surprisingly nice for a strip center joint. Well balanced broth and they don't skimp on the meat. Affordable too.

Pho 9 near 10/Kirkwood is great if you are out westerly
