Pho Bo To Grill - Richmond, Texas

I'm surprised! I was in the area and had a craving for Pho. I stopped in and then saw Bun Bo Hue on the menu! I instantly ordered it and wow! The broth was rich, thick vermicelli noodles, and meats brought back a lot of childhood memories! As you can see in my one pics, I ate and drank everything! I will be back for the beef rib!

Pho Bo to Grill offers an outstanding take on traditional Vietnamese cuisine, and their Short Rib Pho is a standout dish! The broth is rich, deeply flavorful, and simmered to perfection, capturing all the essence of authentic pho. The tender, fall-off-the-bone short rib adds a luxurious touch to the dish, making each bite satisfying and full of flavor. Fresh herbs, and rice noodles complete this hearty bowl of comfort.

The restaurant's warm ambiance and friendly service further elevate the experience. If you're a pho lover, Pho Bo to Grill is a must-visit for an unforgettable meal!

Will be coming back to try other items on the menu ?

Had the bun bo hue. They were nice enough to swap out the tradition bun bo hue noodles and put pho noodles in my soup for me. Brother was so flavorful and they put a generous portion of meat. My kids had the pho which they gobbled up. My wife had bun thit nuong cha gio which she was was very good. Prices were very reasonable and the restaurant was clean. We will be back. I wish they sold tshirts.

When this place first opened up, my sister and her daughter tried it and said it was underwhelming. A couple of months later one of the kids I nannied for wanted to order here to-go and I decided to place an order as well to form my own opinions.

Typically, pho to-go is not a great experience as the soup is nearly cold by the time you get home and places don’t par-boil the noodles. Overall, it’s not as fresh as it would be having it in the restaurant. Well at pho bo to, in all my experiences thus far, their pho to-go is as good as it is in-store. I was amazed by the quality of the meat and noodles. The broth is perfect! My family and I’s go to for pho is usually pho saigon but I honestly
think their broth is too sweet. Pho bo to has a great balance between the spices, saltiness, and sweetness.

Ever since I ordered to-go that one time, I’ve gone back more times than I can count and even took my boyfriend there for his first ever pho experience. He was very pleased and he’s usually a picky eater when it comes to cuisine he’s unfamiliar with.

I saw some bad reviews about to-go orders and how their food was cold. If you order pho to-go, the noodles and meat come cold because the broth is supposed to be hot enough (I heat mine in the microwave if it needs to be hotter) that it warms the noodles and meat up. I think it’s unfair to leave bad reviews for places whose cuisine is obviously a different culture from theirs. It’s important to educate yourself before you fully form an opinion.

After venturing through their menu here’s some of my recommendations & thoughts:

-Classic Pho & Pho w/ Short Rib:
Again, broth is amazing, and the small portions are filling enough with an appetizer. Great value for the quality!

-Shrimp & Pork Crispy Egg Rolls:
Great flavor, you can see small pieces of the shrimp that adds great texture, always crispy and fresh

-Thai Tea:
It’s very rare to find good/authentic tasting thai tea in this area. Other places around it like Kung Fu or Kravin use the powdered stuff that taste like chemicals. Pho Bo To’s thai tea is so good, and very close tasting to places in chinatown!

-Shaking Beef:
I like the flavor of both the beef and the fried rice but I don’t think it’s worth the price for how much meat you get.

-Shrimp Fried Rice:
Not something I’d go for every single visit but it’s good enough that I’ll order it when I am craving fried rice. The rice is just a little dry/hard (can be cooked longer) and the portion could be more for the price.

-Pork Fresh Spring Roll:
Just okay, if you’re craving it I think it would satisfy your craving. It could have a lot more filling and be more densely packed. The sauce it comes with is very good!

-Shrimp Eggrolls:
Good to try but nothing to write home about. It’s just a shrimp covered in eggroll wrapper so not too flavorful compared to the shrimp and pork eggrolls.

-Bun Bo Hue:
This was my first time ever trying bun bo hue, and I don’t think it’s for me personally. I’ve seen other reviews talking about how good it is so if the flavor is for you then I think you’d like it! It’s not a beefy broth like pho but it’s more of a pork broth that I just personally don’t like the flavor of.

The food was incredible, the service was relatively quick & our server was kind. The atmosphere was chill (I went in the late evening). I will definitely be going back in the near future to try other items on the menu.

During my first visit to this restaurant, I ordered the Grilled Pork Summer Roll and the Classic Pho with four meat toppings. Both dishes were quite delicious, and the portions were generous. The servers were attentive, offering multiple check-ups and drink refills. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great flavor ! Dac Biet Combination is great. Good customer service. 100% recommended. Egg rolls are a little bit small and served without lettuce and pickle carrots.
