“ I love Pho. Have to be honest and say I wasn’t going here with too high of expectations, was just hungry and it was a new local spot. Come to find out it actually pretty good. I ordered the Traditional Pho and my wife ordered the Chicken Pho, each bowl costing between 9-10. The servings are rather large and what I like most about it is how fresh the broth tastes. My wife is usually picky on how fresh the garnishments are that come out (cilantro, sprouts, onions, peppers) and she was pleased! The restaurant is pretty small but that doesn’t bother me. The staff was great on customer service. Will visit again and try other options on their menu. ”

“ I was working in the area, my favorite food is pho so I had to try this place. I walked in and the staff was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was very clean to. Brought drink very quickly. Ordered the combination pho and a order of spring rolls. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. Service was very quick. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be coming back ”

“ I love this place. They are very reasonably price and the food is phenomenal. I ordered the fried chicken wings (whole 4) and the hangover pho. Its a must try. ”

“ This was my first time ordering here and taking it out in July, 2024. I attempted to eat here on Monday afternoon, July 8th, following hurricane Beryl passing through Baytown with high winds. But they were closed by their only front entrance door was definitely locked. So today, Wednesday, was my actual first time, and I ordered the tasty Summer Spring Rolls with shrimp and their delicious Pho licious Pho. They included plenty of Sriracha chili sauce and Hoisin sauce for my spicy taste bud needs. Also, fresh Mung Bean Sprouts, as seen by my photos. I didn't eat it until around 4 p.m., and it was still so appetizing and filling. The only thing I needed to add at home was a metal fork in order to separate the cooked noodles instead of their small flimsy plastic fork. I will attempt to dine in at another time. It was rather busy at 2:05 p.m. on this Wednesday. And all their menus were occupied when I arrived to give my take-out order, so perhaps another time when I have a date. The only authentic Vietnamese restaurant that could rival here for a quality hot meal would probably be in Vietnam since there are many restaurants there to enjoy delicious Pho. Which makes your vacation in Vietnam highly worthwhile besides the beaches and sightseeing! For those who can't make it in your vacation plans, this is your best choice for authentic Vietnamese cooked meals in Baytown and beyond. ”

“ I absolutely love pho and I was craving it today. I decided to search for a spot near the area where I’m being treated for PT and I found Pho Em. After reading the reviews, I knew I had found my dinner spot. I walked in and made my way to the counter where a young man (cashier/server) was completing a sale with a patron. Once he was finished I asked him if it was okay to seat myself since I wanted to dine in. He politely answered that I was welcome to seat myself wherever I desired. I found a seat at a booth and he immediately brought a menu and happily asked me if I wanted something to drink. I requested a glass of water. When he returned I ordered 1 little Vietnamese egg roll which I thought would be accompanied by a lettuce leaf and a side sauce but it didn’t. The guy who came out with the egg roll was rather cold and nonchalant. No smile and no acknowledgment. I was pleased that my egg roll was freshly made and piping hot just like I like it. Not long after, a young lady came out with my pho which was also piping hot and so delicious. It hit the spot and I have more than enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I really want to give Pho Em 5 stars but here’s the issue I had...the young cashier was AMAZING and the young lady that served my pho was polite and wore a smile. However, there was a woman whom I presume was the owner/manager who came out several times and sat in the restaurant. I could see her glance at me several times from my peripheral vision and not once did she bother addressing me. During the entire time I was in the restaurant, besides me, there was a gentleman who came in, ordered, ate and left. I grew up in a business that my parents purchased when we came to the U.S. and I KNOW the importance of quality customer service. I am currently a business owner and I know that your patrons are your bread and butter. It costs nothing to say “hello” or “good evening” or even “thank you for your business” it all goes a long way. This woman had ample time to make contact with me and build a positive rapport but she failed to do so. It’s unfortunate that she didn’t cease the moment with a kind gesture. It makes sense that the gentleman who came out with my egg roll had a similar demeanor... lead by example. As delicious as the food was, unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be returning to Pho Em. I have certain standards and expectations for the way that I’m treated especially when I’m spending my money at an establishment. ”

“ I was in the area for some work training and stopped here for the lunch break. I’ve eaten at some of the best pho places in Houston and Cali, while also having consumed some mediocre pho in my lifetime. This place ranks up there with some of the best pho bowls I have eaten in my life. Caution: make sure you blow air over the hot broth in your spoon or you’ll burn off the surface of your tongue. It was piping hot and stayed hot throughout the entire sitting . The meats were tender and a good pho broth doesn’t require any dipping sauces placed directly into the broth. The broth spoke for itself. I didn’t even wanna dip the meats into dipping sauces separately because there was already plenty of natural good flavor. ”

“ Running some errands in Baytown area, and craving for a bowl of Pho, i was looking up on Google Maps and saw this place so I gave it a try. Oh man, I ordered a Combination Pho and it was so DELICIOUS and even better than some Pho restaurants in Bellaire Chinatown area. Definitely coming back to this place and try more items on the menu when i'm in town. P/s: remember to try their vietnamese coffee ”

“ Thank you Pho Em for your amazing vegan options! The food was absolutely delicious and I’m so thankful for you in having and being able to serve and cater to a growing vegan world. This is just the beginning and I am so thankful. Thank you again, especially for making your foods with fresh ingredients like the vegetables in the ‘em possible orange, spicy tofu fried rice and ‘em possible spring rolls; they were absolutely amazing. Will definitely come back and make it known to others of the options you have available !!!! ”
