Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines that I enjoy on a regular basis. Since discovering the Uber Eats app, I have tried a few places that offer Pho, Vermicelli Bowls also known as V-Bowls, and Vietnamese egg rolls.

Belfort Blvd in Southwest Houston. From my history of orders, I can say that Simply Vet is simply delicious.
