Yummy Pho & Bo Ne

I decided to order Pho on Saturday. I ordered the #15 Yummy Pho with the massive short rib, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. My manager actually ordered the same dish earlier in the week and encouraged me to try it, so I already had high expectations—and they still managed to exceed them. The short rib was incredibly tender and flavorful, with the meat literally falling off the bone. The broth had that deep, rich, slow-simmered taste that warms you from the inside out, and the noodles were fresh with the perfect bite. It was one of those bowls where every spoonful hits just right. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now. I’ve been to Yummy Seafood before, but had yet to try this place. Living in the Original Chinatown, surrounded by some of the best pho spots and amazing food up and down Bellaire, I thought I’d seen it all. But I still haven’t found another spot offering a short rib pho like this—especially one this big, tender, and well-prepared. Overall, Yummy Pho & Bo Ne delivered a standout bowl that’s definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be back.

Yummy Pho no longer retains its authentic pho flavor, so if you're looking for the traditional taste, Yummy Pho is no longer a good choice. The broth is too strongly flavored with star anise, which throws off the balance of flavors. They use "hủ tiếu" noodles instead of pho noodles, so it's actually "beef hủ tiếu", not beef pho. I used to enjoy it and brought my family here, but it's not the same anymore, which is quite disappointing. The price increase doesn't match the quality. My family ordered both pho soup and stir-fried pho, and the stir-fried pho was a better choice because it resembled "mixed hủ tiếu", while "beef pho" is far from the real pho should be. Another drawback is that the glasses of water smelled strongly of detergent, so much so that I didn't dare drink them. I hope the restaurant will improve the quality.

First and last time at this establishment. My daughter and I were eating our pho bowls and as I looked to the seat next to me, I was disgusted to find a live cockroach crawling on my purse! I didn't make a big deal about it, which I could’ve easily made a scene in front of the other customers. Instead, I alerted the server, and he swatted it with his bare hand, apologized and walked away. At this point, I had already lost my appetite and couldn't continue eating. I went to pay the bill and all they did was take off $6.50, (25% off)! They didn't even cover the meal that I barely touched! Disappointed and disgusted. I will NOT be returning to this restaurant.

🍲 Disappointing Atmosphere at Yummy Bo Ne & Pho (Katy) 😠 I visited Yummy Bo Ne & Pho this morning around 9:00 AM for an early meal before work. The **Pho was decent, hot, and acceptable—the food itself was fine. However, the customer experience was extremely unsettling and unprofessional. A Vietnamese woman, whom I was later told is a manager, was openly and loudly berating her staff both on the phone and directly in the dining area. She repeatedly referred to her employees as "li'nh" (Army) and was speaking in such a high volume that I and two other tables of customers were uncomfortable and witnessed the entire interaction. I tried to ask staff members for her name, but every employee I asked, from the front counter to the cook in the kitchen, was visibly afraid and unwilling to give it. The fear among the employees was palpable. The table server was alright. To the owner, Mr. Kevin / Khiem: Your restaurant's food quality is keeping your rating afloat, but this manager's behavior is severely damaging your customer experience and creating a toxic work environment. This level of public disrespect and intimidation of staff is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately to ensure a professional and comfortable atmosphere for your customers and employees. I won’t be coming back for a while. Tôi sẽ không quay lại đây trong một thời gian nua.
