Vietnamese food has been popping up all over the city…and it’s no wonder! The food is always refreshing, tasty, and great for those on a budget. I’ve been skeptical of the new wave of Vietnamese restaurants, and you can’t blame me since that’s where my roots lay. Nothing can compare to mama’s homemade meal, but I’m very surprised at what Pho Noi Viet had to offer…

Pho Tai Chin. Rare Beef & brisket.

 

Everything was great! I love the hominess of the food especially with the rice dish with grilled pork. There’s a hominess that’s difficult to describe, but reminds me of my mom’s cooking. I really enjoyed the iced green tea…floral and refreshing. I really wouldn’t mind getting one to go right about now! The menu is very simplified and they lack Bo Vien (meatballs), which is a staple in the Pho industry, but other than that, service was awesome and the food was delicious!

Regardless of the limited menu and the lack of meatballs, those are minor when looking at the overall and I will definitely come back to try out other menu items!

Cha Gio Vietnam (Vietnamese egg roll). 

Good, authentic asian food is a rare find in San Antonio...I’ve tried quite a few places and all of them left me unsatisfied, but I really enjoyed Pho Ha Long. It’s not my mama’s cookin’, but it really comes close on this Sunday morning. My family use to get pho every Sunday morning so ever since I’ve been living on my own, whenever I miss home, I hope to find a place like Pho Ha Long. They have excellent service and authentic Vietnamese pho. Another favorite is the Cha Gio Vietnam. It’s crispy, crunchy and filled with deliciousness on the inside. The bubble tea is great as well!

Just what the Carrollton area needed! In the past year, various restaurants have opened down Oak St. and its newest addition is Pho Bistreaux. They have just recently opened but already have crowds of hungry patrons entering the restaurant and leaving satiated…

The restaurant has opened its doors for only a little over a week, but the food is delicious and authentic. Great service overall, especially in comparison to its competitors throughout the city! The restaurant is quite small, but the environment is modern and family-friendly.
