Got Banh Mi & Pho review

I have passed by Got Banh Mi & Pho many of times. I finally made a trip to eat there before heading to work. I had a feeling that this little spot on Westheimer would be tasty and authentic.. Well guess what? It totally was! The Vietnamese food here is fresh and flavorful. I have only tried one item so far.. but that ensures me that the other dishes are probably just as good. I'm a big fan of vermicelli bowls. They are light, crispy and fresh. Nothing greasy whatsoever about it. So that is what I had here for lunch. I placed an order on the tofu vermicelli bowl. It didn't take long for them to cook it up - and it came piping hot to my table. The waiter was kind and friendly.. she checked up on me a few times. I appreciated her service. Anyways, back to the food... my tofu bowl was crispy, savory, garlicky and full of flavour. Most Vietnamese joints do not cook their tofu the way this place does. It was out of this world good. I felt like I was eating chicken, in which case i'm sure their chicken and beef dishes are tasty as well. The portion of the rice noodles was not as large as other Viet places, but the savory tofu made up for it. Their were large slices of vegetables stir fried with the tofu, consisting of celery and carrot. I would have liked more fresh herbs on top of my meal as well. But all in all, I really enjoyed this dish. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu, such as the soft tofu rolls and seafood items. The cafe su da frappacino looks nice as well. Places such as this really define the diversity of the Houston culture. Until next time!
