Ernie, my pal, loves this place. He took me there end of December. It was good and the wait staff was especially attentive.

looks like they just changed the chef, since their food is not that good any more. And the Bun Ha Noi is completely different from Bun Cha Ha Noi.

Dong Nai is the spot! A hidden gem in Austin, serving delicious and authentic Vietnamese food.
I discovered this establishment on New Year’s Day, when my usual go-to Vietnamese restaurants were closed. And I’m so glad they were, leading me to this spot!
The interior design of this restaurant has a “Mom and Pop” feel to it, and the food is absolutely amazing. I ordered the “Beef Rib” Pho (Absolutely amazing and highly recommend) and Pork Fried Egg Rolls. Both were authentic and absolutely mouth-watering delicious! This is the high quality caliber of Vietnamese food I am accustomed to growing up in Southern California.
Absolutely recommend this place to all my Pho Lovers. Friendly and timely service. This place needs to be rated much higher than it is!

Such a hidden gem in Austin! The servers are so attentive, the food is incredible (especially the pork banh mi) and the price for the amount of food is great. We love this place for a quick lunch!

Ate here today and immediately came down with bad food poisoning, I believe from the steak pho as that's the only food my friends didn't also eat. Even besides that, I'm afraid this is one of the worst Vietnamese meals I've had in Austin, as the Thai tea had a very strong aftertaste, the bahn mi was stale and over toasted, the pork belly was unappealing and the pho had chewy noodles, tough meat and a strong aftertaste as well. Service was fine, but the entire time we were there a single verse of Riptide instrumental was on loop. The entire time. One string of notes.

Great food. Fresh veggies. Friendly and attentive service.
We’ve had the pho, the special and the grilled chicken with rice. Very ver good.
A big shout out of appreciation to the Vietnamese pork egg rolls. It comes with 6 pieces with thin wrapper layers that I believe is rice flour. Something different and well made. It came with fresh lettuce, shredded carrots, mixed spring greens and sprouts. A must try!

Beef Banh Mi is awesome and the pho is great too! If you eat in I feel like you get bigger portions! Super solid for last minute takeout.

They have amazing belly boa. I stop in weekly and grab to go. Super clean inside, super friendly staff, and plenty of items to choose from. I highly suggest trying them out.

Me and my bf try out the pho called (PHO DONG NAI) yes that’s what is named after the restaurant, let me tell you, it was sooo yummy and very flavorful, they added egg in it, that’s was fun surprise. The broth’s depth of flavor was an overwhelming cornucopia, boggled the mind and baffled the senses, the umami!
My new favorite place for pho!!! Ample portions with cozy booths and tables. Wi-Fi available and informative cooking shows in the background about their Vietnamese food. It's a nice quiet place if you're needing to eat and do a bit of remote work.

I wanted to like this place bc I heard it was affordable on Reddit. Unfortunately when I got there the bahn mi prices had been raised by almost 30% even though the menu pic with prices had been uploaded only 7 months ago 🥲 I guess that’s the price for quality. I wouldn’t have minded if the waitress hadn’t laughed at us for having questions about the menu, and then another server came up to tell me i was the first female he had seen who finished the 15(?) inch bahn mi😭. I feel like that means I should have got it for free? It was very good tho. Will probably go back and try to save room for the mango sticky rice. Sorry for being a fat American

This place is so good! The service was good and the food came out SO quick! We came on a Friday night and it was pretty busy! The Pho was so flavorful with the perfect ratio of noodles and meat! We also had the Pork Belly bao and it was delicious! 100% will be coming back as this is our new favorite spot!

They just changed the menu. Super authentic. Definitely get the Canh Chua (needs 20min so bring a card game), ca kho to if you want something authentic and what viet people usually eat at home. The Banh mi is actually good - the right length, right fillings. Before this, I was t a huge fan because it looked like they catered too much to American tastebuds but now? The menu is what brings me back.

One of very few places I've visited in any number of cities that has chinese broccoli! Deliciously prepared, not over cooked or undercooked, with just the right amount of bite to it without being raw. Their fried pork spring rolls are amazing.
I also got their pepper calamari and pepper shrimp, both of which were very tasty, but could have been a bit spicier, but that's just my preference.
Very clean place, decent prices, and prompt service! I placed the order for pickup at 715, and it was ready before I arrived at 715.
The food was enough to feed several people with enough for left overs, the experience of ordering was painless, easy, and with no wait when I arrived to pick up the food, I couldn't ask for much more. Great little place!
