“ Local Pho place mostly just doing pho, good value for the amount of food you get. Families and other older Vietnamese folks eating here so you know it's pretty good. Strip mall with ample parking. #1 Pho with Filet Mignon - meat cooked well, still juicy with chew. Lots of noodles to go along with it. Broth is delicious but not as rich as I'd like it to be, hence 4/5. Good bowl of pho though! Vietnamese coffee - really strong, as expected. Fair price too. They have a range of silly drinks to choose from, which is exciting Food comes out pretty fast & it's a small spot so you can easily flag staff down. They get stuff done fast here, no bs. Prices are good and portions are plenty. Worth stopping by if you're in the area. ”

“ Been here a bunch of times. They give you huge portions of pho for the price, but it's a bit bland. You can also order one of the giant bones that they use to make the broth for free! The to go curry they sometimes sell is good too! ”

“ This is a pho restaurant that has been in Houston for a long time, and every time my family and I come by from out of state we always come here whenever we crave pho! It's ran by this sweet old Vietnamese woman (who I'm assuming is the owner) and the service is always quick and friendly. The decor of the place is typical like any other old school pho places and the space is pretty narrow, but we didn't mind all of that since it's not a modernized place. For food, I got their Pho Dac Biet (Special Pho) at a large size ($13.50) and my mom got their Bun Mang Vit (Duck Vermicelli Soup with Cabbage Salad) at a large size as well ($14.50). Prices were decent. Everything was hot and delicious! Also if you ask them for "Xi Quach, which means Bone Marrow with meat, they will give you one with no charge... and trust me it's HUGE! Overall, nice old school Pho restaurant that, although not aesthetic, has a special charm to it with their simplicity and friendly service. ”

“ The pho was really nice and came out super fast, but it honestly did not impress me more so than any other pho restaurant. It was on the pricier side for a bowl of pho in Houston. I saw everyone eating a big bone with their pho as well, and didn't see it on the menu/realize that it was free until I read other yelp reviews after. I think that if they had advertised that, or had offered it to us when ordering, it would've made for a better experience! ”

“ Good pho and broth, very cozy inside and only a few items are on the menu so you know it's their specialty. It comes with a side of a huge beef bone for extra collagen. I came after lunch and people still kept coming in. They have a super small bowl which is perfect as well as other sizes. ”

“ I think Pho Tran might be my new favorite Pho restaurant in Bellaire.... They give sooo much meat and it's always so tender! Broth is clear and delicious. I like that they give a bit more variety of fresh vegetables too. Very hole in the wall and frequented by older Vietnamese locals which is a great sign... ”

“ When I want no-frills vibes, fast and furious service, and more importantly, a delicious and piping hot broth of pho, I make sure to go to Pho Tran. It is the quintessential dive in Bellaire Chinatown and the kind of place that is always poppin with locals. It is one of the more underrated noodle soup dives in the city. The interior is stale, with office style flourescent lighting and a handful of the usual faux-granite tables for medium sized groups. When they're busy, the wait can be 20 minutes, but most folks are usually in and out. Even the odor of the various soups they have cooking in the back sometimes permeate the dining room. I'm not complaining, it's like walking into someone's home while they make you a delicious meal. Their namesake pho is outstanding. The murky broth is a little darker than I'm used to, but it was full of flavor with a hint of salt. For the dac biet, the accompanied meats were abundant and the side condiments (especially the Thai basil) was extremely fresh. There are some nice cuts of flank and tendon and I was reasonably impressed with their bo vien meatballs. I'm not calling it the perfect pho, but definitely one that I can enjoy on any day. Additionally they also specialize in bun rieu, bun bo hue, and bun mang vit. (duck bamboo noodle soup) There aren't a lot of places out there that can churn out a quality bowl of each under the same roof, but it's something to take note for anyone who is pho'd out. I was happy with the prices and the relatively relaxed but efficient service. The latter was quick and wastes no time in getting the food to the table. English is not the primary language here, so keep that in mind if you're not able to converse in Vietnamese. I would give Pho Tran a big xe-lua (#1) style thumbs up. __________ (#1) Which btw, is available. Not a lot of places will offer a mega sized xe-lua style bowl, but it's doable here. ”

“ The pho here tastes amazing but I feel like it was missing something. 4/5. Everything came out quick! The service was nice and attentive. This place got busy quick and I was glad I got seating when I did! Will come back to try their other pho menu items to compare! ”

“ When Houston freezes over with a temp of 30 degrees and there's black ice and snow flurries on the ground, you obviously seek out warm noodles. My family and I were in town visiting. My mom loves visiting new places--only to go to the Asian neighborhoods and only to eat at Vietnamese establishments. She's pretty singular in her palate and she's 64 now; there's no convincing her that a 25min Uber from our hotel when it's freezing cold outside is not worth it to try a place which an random lady she asked while shopping at HK Market suggested. I digress. HOWEVER, Pho Tran (no relation) was perfection. It was definitely worth it, and as always, my mom was right. We showed up at 10ish am and didn't wait for a table of 4. I got the Bun Mang Vit and highly recommend that's what everyone should try here at least once. It's apparently what they're known for. IYKYK order the beef bone on the side. Honestly, it's gonna be in my Houston rotation. ”
