Lol ok first things first, this place is not owned by Vietnamese, the main guy is a Salvadorean. Now that we got that out of the way, I have never eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant, not owned by Vietnamese, where the food tasted like it was made by Vietnamese. This is the first one and you would not be able to taste the difference between this place and a Vietnamese owned one. The food is amazing, the pho is the standout. My wife gets the basil flat noodles and it's by far her favorite noodle dish she's ever had here in the United States.
I miss this place so much!! Small little cafe....hidden in a neighborhood, off a main vein. When I'm back in The Woodlands, I TRY MY BEST TO GO. It's absolutely a hidden gem. The pho seafood noodle soup is my go-to...with a spring roll. It's enough for 2 meals.
Egg rolls so good and crispy let’s not say about the pho we got the beef pho the flavor was a 10/10 and service as well
** 2025 UPDATE: PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR UPDATED MENU PRICES! * Please also see lunch special menu available Monday- Friday 11:00 am - 3:00 pm only. * monthly specials are available and may vary * reservations are available for large parties, and I was told it’s better to call in advance * to-go party trays available * regular takeout available in person or via phone call, as well as DoorDash, Toast and UberEats ** MANY VEGAN DISHES ARE AVAILABLE ** * you can customize your order if you have allergies or don’t like a certain ingredient *** Handicap accessible *** Clean restrooms and restaurant. The food is authentic Vietnamese cuisine (NO CHANGES to original menu item recipes), has fresh ingredients and is affordable with generous portions- whether you dine in or take out. I get two generous meals out of one bowl of pho. There’s even new menu items like street tacos and Micheladas- like the REAL DEAL deal (I’m Hispanic and I’m very picky). Great customer service y se habla espanol. I’ve come here for many years and I was told ownership changed 2 years back, however the recipes are exactly the same (original owners stayed on a while to teach the recipes). I can assure you this is true. Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic drinks available (smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, Fresh Coconut juice, Thai Tea, Freshly squeezed lemonade and more). I highly recommend ordering your food using the number next to your meal. Enjoy!
Very strange to say the least. But that isn’t a bad statement. Actually it’s a weird form of appreciation for something I never know could be so good. From what I gather as a first timer who never heard of the this place before... I thought wait so this is a Chinese spot? But don’t judge a book by its cover ladies and gentlemen. This is a bonafide legit Vietnamese restaurant in sheep’s clothing. First off it’s already hard to find decent Vietnamese food in woodlands or spring but to call it “Lucky Cafe” puts this under the radar even more so! But here I am to say to everyone reading this review you are in fact lucky to have found a good eat. Lucky Cafe is in a quiet shopping strip in the Woodlands. Another surprise... You’ll be caught off guard since there isn’t an Asian auntie/uncle who will wait and provide service to you...(common in most pho spots) rather you will meet some very nice El Salvadorians will make sure you are taken cared of. They from what I heard are the new owners while the original owner(s) still cook.l for the business. Customer service was great. Also a plus for those who speak spanish and have a hard time understanding the menu since they can translate for you. Quality of food! The pork bahn mi with an egg is crazy good! I highly recommend ! I even remember the order number #5. Pho is good - I ordered with steak and meatballs. I will be coming back to try the spring rolls since I forgot to get them. ( I ended up ordering two sandwiches instead!) Well worth the bahn mis
A Hidden Gem in Grogan’s Mill My wife and I stopped here for lunch after spotting Lucky Cafe Pho in a small shopping center in the older part of The Woodlands near Grogan’s Mill. It feels like a well-kept secret, mostly known to the locals — and what a great find! The food was excellent — fresh, piping hot, and packed with flavor. I had the Char-grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli, and my wife enjoyed the Tofu Vermicelli — both beautifully presented and delicious. They also offer a good variety of vegan options, which is a big plus. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. The staff made us feel welcome right away. The atmosphere was clean, bright, and cheerful. Despite the small parking lot, we had no trouble finding a space. Another bonus: you can pay with Toast, which made checkout super fast and easy. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving great Vietnamese cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!
I’ve been coming to this place for years now & it never disappoints! Their pho is the best ! Along with their beef rolls ! Atmosphere was very nice & cozy. Definitely a 10/10 experience every time I come here! Sergio the owner is always very welcoming and friendly
