Phở 18

Good variety of vietnamese dishes. I ordered the beef vermicelli bowl, and it was huge and delicious! My mom got the stir fried noodles with seafood and they were also really good. Really nice service and the decor inside is cute.

Such amazing Pho! So excited that they have veggie broth making this a vegan-friendly restaurant. So many pho restaurants only offer meat broths so a vegan is unable to eat at these establishments. The vegetable rolls are very tasty also. Everyone is so nice too. They are right in my neighborhood and recognize us each time we return.

Update September 2024: Pho 18 had new management, and the quality and standards are just as high as the previous owners. I like that they've added edamame to the appetizer options. They continue to offer a delicious veggie broth and tofu that perfectly accommodates a vegan WFPB lifestyle. Also, the new owner/chef is vegan!! She can even do an off-menu delicious Shaken Tofu! I added a plate of "pho veggies" to amp up the veggies. It is so yummy! This is great news for any vegans who want to know their food is truly vegan. Update: Pho 18 remains or very favorite pho restaurant. If anything, it had just gotten better since my original review. The staff is wonderful, the restaurant is clean, and the food is always the highest quality! Pho 18 stands out in the tons of Pho restaurants here in Houston because of the quality of the food and the customer service. I'm vegan, so having a veggie broth option is important to me. So many Pho restaurants do not offer this at all! The veggie broth is delicious!! There are also other vegan options like the tofu fried rice, veggie bun, stir-fried noodles, spring rolls, and veggie egg rolls. All that said, being remembered after the second time we visited and greeted with a smile makes everything about Pho 18 my favorite!!

i came here at lunch and ordered Fried Chicken Plate. It was lowkey surprisingly good the skin was crispy and meat need a little more juicy but it going great with the sauce. Lots of savory in this dish never tried this flavor before even i am Vietnamese. Recommended

I came back here while I was waiting for my car to get fixed. I ordered tofu pho 🍲 (vegetarian one). The taste got improved so much and I enjoyed it a lot! I’m happy to see the good improvement! I’ll definitely come back and bring my friends. Plus workers here are nice, smiling and friendly! I love it! Keep up your great work! Come and enjoy veggie options! :)

Very great experience. Service was great and the spicy beef Raman was great as well. The beef sandwich was very good. Smokey bbq tastes and I really liked it. I recommend the Jasmine or Mango tea also. Will definitely come back

This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Houston. The food is very good and great prices. We ordered vermicelli bowls for dinner and they were delicious. The lady taking orders up front was so beyond nice and helpful! I even got a tasty tea for my wait.

Came in on a cold January night 🌃, perfect for PHO. I loved the atmosphere and decor. Great customer service 👏🏽; She was very attentive. Ordered the Beef Pho and a house special fried rice 🍚 🤤.The chicken, beef and pork in the fried rice were crispy just how I like it 👌🏽. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Just FYI, they close the kitchen about 30 mins before closing time.

I had the pleasure of eating at Pho 18 on West Little York, and I must say the experience was spectacular. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The prices were reasonable, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. All in all, I highly recommend Pho 18 on West Little York for a delicious, enjoyable, and affordable Vietnamese dining experience.

Simply delicious! I had the beef pho, egg rolls with tai tea. Best meal I had in a long time. Full of flavor and proportions are excellent. Recommend for all!. Lady at the register is super sweet. Thank you for a wonderful meal. ****** NEW OWNERS, FOOD NOT AS TASTEFUL UNFORTUNATELY****** Ordered to go beef pho and the broth and beef were really cold and not much flavor. Had to get it warmed up at home. Tai tea taste different, not good. Egg rolls were good. This new rating for new owners 2 for me, sorry! 06/02/24

i really wanted some viet food, specifically banh mi AND pho ga, but it’s actually kind of difficult to find a place that sells both. i tried this place because they had both at a pretty reasonable price. boy howdy what a surprise!! i was expecting something different from the outside but its truly so cute indoors. the ac works well too lol. theyve got really pretty decor, good service, and theyre really clean. nothing felt sticky or unkempt which is just really important for me. i got a water, a fresh strawberry soda, shrimp spring rolls, pork egg rolls, a pork banh mi, and chicken pho. the strawberry soda was really tasty, classic kind of lemony lime base with tasty strawberry reduction… stuff? its like muddles with strawberries or something. super tasty and comes sealed like a boba. the spring rolls came with enough peanut sauce for an army. the pork egg rolls were super crunchy and light. the pho was good, chicken was super tender and flavorful, and was super duper hot coming out of the kitchen. the pork banh mi…. just omg. its five bucks and fifty cents and so so mind blowingly good. the baguette is crunchy, but really delicate, so it doesnt rip up the roof of your mouth at all when you bite into it. the pork itself is super grilled/smoky and contrasts really well with the carrots and cucumber. the total came out to 33.61 with tax, and i tipped the waitress twenty bucks on top cause she was super sweet. this place is awesome, definitely come eat here!!

Really excellent vermicelli and pho! We also got teas and they were incredible. The atmosphere is so cute too. And the service was great!

I LOVE the chicken vermicelli here! Great portions, and it comes with egg rolls inside- so it adds an extra crunch and flavor to the dish! The decor is soooo cute here and the service is AMAZING!! The Salty Lemonade Soda is great!! It's definitely a hidden gem!!

Stopped by for lunch, had the shaken chicken with rice, which was delicious, the portion was a little small for me but the quality made up for it. The shop is also very cute, and the people are very friendly. Recommended.

it was very good food i loved the chicken pho and the fried dumplings. The atmosphere is very cute and organized. i liked that they give glass cups for drinks and not plastic cups. for two people it was almost 40 bucks. Well worth it, for sure recommend!!!

The best food I've ever had. Everything is so fresh and delicious Such kindness makes me come back whenever I can. A place of great comfort for me. I don't eat Vietnamese cuisine anywhere else.

The food was absolutely delicious. Number 19 was absolutely perfect. The gentleman was very nice. Taking my order and checking out. The bathroom was very clean. Wow!! This is the best pho. I’ve tried here in Houston so far! Update!! 08/13/2025…. Still so delicious! Great service and price. I love this place.

The restaurant has such a cozy atmosphere! Loved the ambience and all the cute decor. Service was excellent! The hostess in particular was so sweet and friendly 😊 The food on the other hand was a bit of a let down. We ordered the Beef Pho and everything was just average. Nothing really stood out to us as memorable. Portion size was also a bit disappointing especially since we ordered the largest size. We've had much better Pho elsewhere here in Houston. While service and atmosphere was 10/10, we probably won't be coming back.

First time at this location, Went to pick up my to go order and wanted to add a side of just banh mi bread to dip in my soup as I’ve done at every other location. Woman at the front laughed in my face about it but seemed to not understand me, once I spoke to someone else he translated it to her and they would not stop laughing at me about it. Also was hard to order over the phone due to language barrier

The personnel is nice but don't speak or understand English. They always get my order wrong. I ask for no meat and extra lime and cilantro in my soup. I never get it. I order a small one always come with a large. I went on Monday at lunch time and ordered shrimp spring rolls and they brought me broth to dip my rolls. When I asked they said they ran out of peanut sauce dip. I told them I didn't want rolls. They still charged me. I liked Pho18 but the quality and taste is not the same since the new owners came in. Even though the quality has not been good I have given them the benefit of the doubt and have came back twice again and the same thing. Will not be going back plus the prices have gone up. That would not be a problem if the food was good.

This used to be me and my fiancé's favorite pho place. Their pho used to be SO GOOD, and the last two times we ordered from them were SO BAD. I don't know if they got new owners or new kitchen staff... The broth became so much LESS flavorful. Their fried wontons used to be delicious, and now they're just ordinary and taste like frozen wontons you get from random Chinese restaurants. We were hoping they just made mistakes on our last order, but this time is a lot worse!! "Beef pho" contains a chunk on frozen beef and noodles. We couldn't even cook the beef with the microwave because they were so frozen...Now we need to find a new pho place. NEVER ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN.
