Tasty 160 Pho & Boba Tea — Restaurant in Midland

New Update: four of us: my friend and my two sons all had food poison reactions the second day after eating here with me. Now we are more confident that it’s from food here that got us sick. Be aware!

This is my second time going there because of friend’s recommendation. The food was good both times but boba tea is just so so because they just use powder and add some liquid, shake it and here you go. Anyway, my second time experience was HORRIBLE. I ordered a spicy pho with beef stuff and a cup of boba tea for dinner. Around 8:30ish I started to feel my stomach was upset but I didn’t give it second thought because I thought maybe it’s just because I was on the swing with my baby for like 2 minutes. Then through out the evening my stomach started to have twisting pain building up and I knew something was wrong. I made myself throw up at a point where I couldn’t stand it anymore. I threw up everything I ate for dinner. Starting from there, I felt terrible in my stomach and then throughout the night the pain moved to my tummy and now I feel like I will have diarrhea. My legs, feet started to feel tinkling over night. In the morning my whole body is weak with tummy ache. I made sure I had plenty of water and trying to wait it out for it to pass my system. I know they do use raw beef to directly put in your pho bowel when they take it out to you. Not sure if it’s the meat or anything else. I love pho so I had it regularly at different pho places in Odessa and midland. This is the first time the food poisoning happened to me. But that is enough for me not want to go back to this restaurant particularly in the future. I wonder if there were other food poisoning cases. I just put this out here and maybe other ppl who experienced the same can voice out to bring awareness to the owner if there was...

I will NOT come here ever again. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone, unless you want to pay for overpriced food and boba tea which they are frequently out of boba. There is an additional fee to pay with card, and they don’t tell you that. Read the other negative reviews if you’re considering going here.

The owners and the employees are very rude. We have come here for over 5 years and they don’t even say “you’re welcome” after thanking them. The main reason we won’t be coming back is because of the incident that took place earlier today when we dined in. My baby was in the high chair and was grabbing the paper that they place on the table because they are too lazy to properly wipe or sanitize the tables. I folded part of the paper just enough that my baby wouldn’t grab at it while in the high chair. The old lady working today wearing blue plaid came over and pushed the high chair over while my daughter was sitting in it, and aggressively put another piece of paper over the table. Not saying a word to me or even asking permission to move my daughter.

My baby grabbed the paper again and the old lady came back and threw the paper back on the table and said something in another language and was very angry. I’m shocked that someone could get that mad at a BABY. This is not a family friendly environment. The restaurant looks unorganized and the floors and bathrooms are dirty. If they don’t care to keep the front clean that is visible to customers, then I doubt they keep their kitchen clean and safe. They leave a cup with cutlery at every table allowing anyone to touch it with dirty hands.

The owners don’t care about how their customers are treated. We spend at least $60-$70 when we eat here and because of what happened today, they have permanently lost...

I've always come here for Boba more than anything else. Today, I decided to try a Banh mi and other menu items. It was hit or miss. The garlic fries were crispy and tested alright, but visibly, they were a bit unappealing. The popcorn chicken was above par. The breading was seasoned properly, and the chicken was slightly juicy. The shrimp spring rolls were also good. They were longer than I've seen in most other places, so that was a plus. The pork banh mi, however, was lackluster. They didn't put quite as much meat as you'd expect, and the sandwich as a whole was overly sweet. If you're the type of person who likes it sweet, this is for you. It could've been a little more savory, but who knows, maybe I should've gone with the beef or chicken banh mi for more flavor. What saves this place is the pho, according to my wife. She says it's the best. The chili oil they serve is pretty spicy but very well made: rich, flavorful, and robust. They offer all kinds of sauces at the table to enjoy. The staff is very friendly and quick to serve. Overall, I would come here again, but not for the banh mi...
