Pho Hong Phat — Restaurant in Leon Valley

If you need to kill that Pho fix fast then this place is where you need to be. I've been here solo, with as many as small army of 12, and various numbers in-between. All of those times the staff were able to seat us and then service us faster than a NASCAR driver with dysentery. Speaking of NASCAR, the parking is vast as the establishment is situated next to what appears to be an abandoned strip-mall, so parking your ride won't be an issue but the security of your vehicle might. Bring your own car-alarm and Taser (just kidding).

Once you walk in it's full on low-country Vietnamese decor but that's NOT why you came. Your stomach drew you here to extinguish the fiery desire to suck down savory rice noodles in hot beefy broth goodness. Yeah, so the interior designer's inner chi was off when slapping the visual cues of the restaurant together but who cares about Feng Shui when you're "hangry". They serve all sorts of Vietnamese entrees to all manners of clientele and accept all major credit cards. If you only have cash they'll take that too. So will their exotic plants at the check-out counter. They'll be parading on the rail like exotic dancers working for your bills. You're invited, nay, encouraged to stuff crisp paperbacks into their nooks & crannies. They offer no good-night kisses but only good luck wishes.

Once you've stuff your gut and your greasy face glistens with the luminosity of a thousand full moons who cares if you're robbed at gun point while you're standing next to your race-car reaching for your car keys. At least you'll depart this world knowing karma is a cold witch that left you feeling the irony that you just robbed the joint for feasting on so much whilst paying so little. However, clever returning patrons know the key to survival is to order everything on the menu. You won't be disappointed because everything tastes good and you'll have no money left for the mugger. Safety in numbers; so, bring friends that way you'll have other shiney faces you can point and laugh at on the Uber ride to the nearest ER for that gunshot wound or to have your...

The food USED to be Great. Not anymore. Today was my last time there. There is a young girl that’s really kind and the bussers are nice as well. As for the the Older woman (owner I think)...Super RUDE. I ordered a vermicelli plate and a pho to go, (my mistake was that I didn't remember what kind of meat my friend likes, and I asked for cilantro and onion on the side)...? She got frustrated cause I wasn't sure about their weird meat and I was ASKING for information about it or how they serve the plate. She was very rude and unprofessional. Aside from that, they stopped providing chives and jalapeño and get upset when you ask for something. In my order there was no limes or lemon, no hot sauce, soy sauce, napkins, and they Dont even offer you if you need anything else. the food was just mediocre. Maybe is the different cultures but they aren’t very welcoming either. when she gave me the bill she just put it on the counter and didn’t say a word to me. Just Poot service all around and to have just average pho?? No thank you, I’ll take my business somewhere else. Can’t believe you are trying to run a business with such poor attitude and skimping on the little things to save on money. It was one of our favorites but...

We've been to this place lots of times because my family loves Pho. But we will need to find a new place, the food just isn't so amazing that it's worth putting up with the service. We're rarely greeted with a smile unless its someone other than any of the Vietnamese people, that own/work this restaurant. Especially, the older lady that wears pig tails, she can be extremely rude. Try not to ask for anything extra such as napkins, lime, ect, because they frown on that. They make it a point not to come back to your table to check on you. Hey, they brought your food so leave them alone, eat, pay and leave. We were there last night and had the pleasure of being waited on by the lady owner. There was only 1 other person in the restaurant when we walked in. It took her several very unfriendly glances over st us from the register and almost 10 minutes to finally come ask us if we knew what we wanted. We all knew exactly what we wanted and yet she treated us as though she didn't have time to waste on us. The food the bus boy brought over to us was terrible,we were never checked on for drink refills or anything else and when we did have to ask, the young daughter acted as though it was it a burden. We won't...
