Pho 54 in Houston

First time eating pho. Asked if there were vegetables. Their idea of vegetables is bean sprouts and basil with japs and lime. Snow peas would have been so goooood!   Anyway. The flavor was nice. We got the bowl with beef and meatball Based on the server suggestion. Husband got the chicken.  Ordered the egg rolls.  They were also good. Overall good but I don't think I will be a pho lover any time soon

I had to try this spot out when I heard about it from a fellow friend. Both of the broth were good but I think it was overhyped for me. They do give you plenty of proteins for both bowls.

The bowl was bigger than my hand in diameter. I got super full and couldn't finish it all.

Houston had one really cold day this winter. On that cold day, every hungry Asian went out in search of the best bowl of pho. I called my #1 spot, and they were out of all soup.

The restaurant is well kept and clean; definitely not some stodgy hole in the wall. I'd heard some really great things about the bun bo hue, but when faced with a single winter's day, I'm going for pho. My bowl of beef cube pho came out piping hot. My side of bone marrow was filled to the brim with marrow and meat. The broth was seasoned so well, had excellent depth, and wasn't oily. No need to add sriracha or hoisin. The beef cubes were a game changer. They just fell apart in my mouth. To top it off, the egg rolls (cha gio) were so hot and tasty, and the limeade (soda chanh) was excellent - not too sweet or sour. Overall, the food is easily better than Pho Sapa across the street. Hopefully houston gets just o...
