Everything was great. Tables are a little too close together inside. Hard to get in and out of and you feel like you're in your neighbor's conversation.
We were encouraged to go to Elizabeth St. Cafe and eat outside. SO glad we did. The food was remarkable. Our wonderful waiter recommended the Mango Cucumber Salad ..... fantastic. The Cha Ca was spicy and delicious. The Carpaccio had its own flavor profile and I can't wait to order it again. Really delicious dining experience.
It was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last! We tried several starters and a couple of entrées, and everything was fantastic. The Pork Belly Steamed Buns and Steamed Rice Rolls were outstanding. We also had the Fried Spring Rolls and Ginger Chili Oil Dumplings—both excellent choices. For entrées, we ordered the Drunken Beef Noodles and Ribeye Fried Rice, which were packed with flavor. Dessert was the perfect ending: Ube Vanilla Ice Cream and a couple of macarons. The ice cream and coconut macaron were especially incredible! Abigail was our server, and she truly guided our entire experience with great recommendations and warm, attentive service. The manager even stopped by to say hello, and the entire team was so friendly and welcoming. We had an awesome first visit. If you've never been, this place is an absolute must when you're in Austin!
Great meal as always. Service was a little slow. Food was fantastic as always! Restaurant was very loud so difficult to carry on a conversation at our booth table because we were far away from one another. We always love coming here! Be prepared that inside can be fairly loud.
Elizabeth Street is one of my all-time favorite Austin restaurants. You can't go wrong with the crunchy chicken spring rolls, the escargot (seriously delicious), the banh mi, the pho, the bún... And the ambiance / vibe is perfect. Highly recommend.
Food is always good. Menu hasn't changed in a while. Service is very good. Drinks are very good. Tables are too WAY close together.
Had an anniversary here and they wrote a personalized note! Food is amazing and service is also amazing.

Elizabeth Street Café is a charming spot with a great vibe. It's hard to park there though. The dumplings are so good... flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. Get and share the Chicken Bahn Mi, the steak with fried rice, rice roll and the dumplings.

The food was really lacking for the price. $22 for a bowl of Pho. The pho broth was really bland, and the beef was very scarce. The broth was very hot which was good. But overall it was really lacking. For those who know Pho and appreciate quality Pho, this isn’t for you.
To be honest it’s probably some of the most average pho I’ve had. Saved only by the atmosphere.
Restaurant Atmosphere and service were lovely.

As a regular to-go orderer, I was excited to dine in. My rating has nothing to do with the food but everything to do with the waitress rounding my change back down because she decided herself that I was going to tip anyways. I paid in cash. I'm an extremely generous tipper, but the principal that you would just assume I don't need my change is absolutely appalling to me.

Never knew it was Vietnamese Food. Amazing quality. Hands down the Elizabeth Fried Rice Sirloin Steak was perfect. Before going to Elizabeth I went to see Nomad across the street (1st Street) and the energy there was a little too snobby for me. I always go for the underdog!!

Came from out of town for a bite to eat before a concert and this place did not disappoint. The prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting. The wait time to get seated and for food to reach the table was not long. I will say though be mindful of parking! However, fighting for a spot is worth it.

Elizabeth Café is an absolute gem!
I stopped in recently and was blown away by how warm, charming, and perfectly “Austin” this spot feels. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the service is quick, and everything on the menu tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The vibes are cozy, bright, and just make you want to stay awhile.
My food and coffee were both perfect — full of flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell they really care about quality here. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast, meeting a friend, or just want a relaxing café to unwind, Elizabeth Café hits every mark.
Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back. 🌿☕️
