Love the pho and the service is grate all the food it's prepared fresh ,grate ambiance delicious food love it
Food is amazing the best Pho soup in the Rio grande valley.highly recommend the number 5 and 11.
Good food, new owners at le lai changed their menu so this is our new go to for Vietnamese.
Everything was great. Menu is kind of limited but that's ok because the pho was sooo good. I would definitely recommend if you are in the RGV and craving a great pho restaurant.
Their pho is the best pho in town. Their service is amazing. It's such an amazing place for anytime of the weather.
This place is good. Was visiting from another town but this spot tastes like home. Staff is friendly.
My face is on fire(in a good way) and my belly is full! I enjoyed it. Best Pho so far in the Valley. I agree with the other review about the sweetness of the broth. I want that rich, beefy, I spent three days making the broth flavor. Can only give a 3.6 star rating. Portion was just right.
Oh, wow. Has it really been three months since I last churned out a five-star review? Pho Houston in the heart of McAllen really broke me out of my funk. My family and I dropped by here during our Thanksgiving weekend excursion to the Rio Grande Valley, and yes, the name had a lot to do with it. As it turned out, the owner(s) moved south from Houston. I've had my fill of Chinese and Japanese cuisine near the border, but it was my first time having Vietnamese far away from home. The beef noodle pho I had on what was a wet, dreary afternoon did its job of keeping my stomach satisfied for the rest of the day. I loved how flavorful and aromatic it was. Everything from the beef chunks to the noodles were fresh. The egg rolls I had beforehand were an excellent way to start lunch. Since we head toward these parts every year when the weather is cooperative, it's likely a second visit in the future will happen.
Pho broth is really nice. It's not too sweet like other Pho restaurants. The original Pho flavor should not be sweet. The portion is pretty small. The Pho noodle is ok, it's not well done. Meat and topping are decent. Vermicelli and fish sauce are decent but nothing to blow me away. They don't honor the check-in on Yelp, but it's a mom-and-pop shop. I don't think they manage their Yelp page. Probably someone helped them to create the page and never updated it.
