" Visiting Cao Thang was an unexpected delight! Initially, I was skeptical about the exterior, as it looks quite unassuming. However, once inside, the cozy decor and friendly staff immediately put me at ease. The pho was superb—its aroma and taste brought back memories from my travels in Vietnam. The prices are very reasonable. I appreciate how they focus on serving authentic dishes rather than trying to adapt to Western tastes. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cao Thang has become one of my favorite spots whenever I'm craving authentic Vietnamese food. The pho is absolutely delicious; the broth is rich and flavorful. I also love their banh mi sandwiches, the baguette is crispy and the filling has the perfect balance of flavors. The place might be small and cash only, but the quality of the food truly makes up for any inconvenience. It's like stepping into someone's home kitchen; you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an excellent spot for a casual meal! I ventured into Cao Thang on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The broth of the pho was rich and savory, just how I like it. The interior felt very clean, and I appreciated the laid-back vibe. The only issue I had was that it’s cash only. I had to leave to get cash, which delayed my meal a bit. Overall, it was worth the trip. I’ll definitely recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Cao Thang by chance, and what a lucky find it was! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile from the staff. I ordered the pho and a banh cuon. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, truly taking me back to Vietnam with each bite. My only gripe would be that the eating area is a bit cramped, but that just adds to the hole-in-the-wall charm. Thank you for such a wonderful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Houston, but Cao Thang stands out due to its commitment to authenticity. The flavors are genuine, and it feels like I'm enjoying a home-cooked meal every time I visit. The prices are also fantastic for what you get. The bun mang vit is a must-try! I will definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cao Thang on a recommendation from a coworker, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the food was high-quality and very authentic. I had the pho and it was so flavorful. The only downside was the cash-only policy. I wasn’t prepared, but they were kind enough to let me run to the ATM. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Cao Thang was excellent! From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm atmosphere. The food was incredibly authentic; I ordered the crab noodle, and it was sumptuous, rich in flavor. The seating is a bit close, giving it a cozy vibe, but not uncomfortable. I do recommend going during non-peak hours to fully enjoy it without the crowd. This is a real treasure in Houston! " (*Curated Review*)
