The Pho from here may be the best hangover cure know to man, if I could bottle it up I would be a billionaire. Their other food is really good as well and I can't wait till I get the courage to attempt the big bowl of pho challenge that they have.

While the service was great and restaurant was nice and clean, the pho fell short. I ordered the Pho Please (which had all the meats in it) and the broth was bland even after adding the sauces, lime, and herbs, and the tái was tough and took me awhile to swallow. The other meats were good though and dipping them in hoisin and sriracha made it even better. The spring rolls and Thai tea were also good. I didn’t order the egg rolls, but I was disappointed when I saw that they give you sweet and sour sauce with it instead of nuoc cham. They do have a bottle of pure fish sauce at their self service sauce bar, but it just makes it less authentic. It was expensive too and I wasn’t expecting to pay $43 (not including tip). I grew up in Houston so my expectations for Vietnamese restaurants are high. I would skip this place and head to the Vietnamese restaurants in North Austin. The main reasons why I came here was because I’ve been craving pho for a couple of days since the weather started getting cold and it was the most convenient option on the way home from class and it had a rating of 4.5 stars.

This is probably my thirteen time here and the service is always great! Jeska at the front took my order and left me smiling gushing over our fav anime 😄 it’s always nice dining in here. My fav order is the beef pho! The teas here are great too!!

So everywhere I go I look for Vietnamese restaurants that serve pho. TLDR: save your money on pho and go elsewhere as broth could taste better.
So my friend and I went in here to grab some pho. The inside was quite nice y clean. It was clean on the inside with an half full restaurant. It is a totally different experience from other pho places. We ordered at the counter and it was a mess trying to figure where they wanted to sit us. We had to choose a table before anyone else did at the counter as you got seated after you ordered, which was fine. It was more of trying to figure out which table was available. We order two pho bowls and two fried egg rolls.
Once we were seated, our pho came out to us pretty quick. The gentleman who came out to give us our food dropped off two pho bowls and one set of friend egg rolls. When I inquired about the second set, the register person told me that we only ordered one when I clearly stated two. I told them it was okay along with the guy who brought me the food.
The reason I was said it was alright was because the egg rolls were not fully cooked and not very pleasant. It felt like they had been pulled out and set under a warmer for more than the required time. The server was great and brought me out a second one and it was the same way. Very disappointed. My friend even noticed issues with the egg rolls and only ate half of one.
On to the pho! My friend and I both ordered the pho with rare beef. When that showed up, there was more beef than noodle. So if you want more meat than anything else, go here. Other issues, the broth was not very tasty. It tasted like the pho base instant stuff that you can buy from any store. So the only bonus was the additional meat. That is probably why they charge more than most places for a bowl of pho.
Otherwise, my experience at this place was okay. I would never go back to this place for pho. I might try the bahn mi later.

I've been here a couple of times and the food is always incredible! The boba tea is delicious, thought might not be good if you have less of a sweet tooth than me. Today I was served by Trang who provided absolutely excellent service! Though every employee I've encountered is incredible knowledge

Tasty food at a reasonable price. Large portions for the pho and banh mi so if you're less hungry go for the bao. Friendly staff, bao took a while to come out though.

This place is a great pho/noodle place, with quick service and amazing food at a reasonable price. The drinks like the milk tea are also very tasty. I would definitely recommend this place for a casual meal!

This is one of the restaurants I can never have enough! The staff here are just amazing, and the food is so savory! Try different dishes, and be pleasantly surprised!
This has been a go-to Pho spot for me, but my most recent meal was not great. The restaurant smells strongly of cleaner. This made it hard to enjoy my food. My rare steak was also tough. Sad to have had this experience.

While there are more authentic pho spots in Austin, this place has the best combo of decent pricing + nice atmosphere/cleanliness + menu variety. I was a bit skeptical at first because it’s more of vietnamese fusion imo but honestly, everything I’ve tried has been so flavorful and tasty! If you’re not well versed in Vietnamese food, this spot is a decent place to start. Go for the grilled pork banh mi (or grilled pork anything tbh)!

In my opinion, this restaurant does not like black people. I went out to eat with my two Asian friends and they were served immediately; however, it took 30 minutes for my food and I was treated rudely simply because of the color of my skin. I will not return!

if you're after just a basic pho fill it does the job, great portion sizing but fairly basic ingredients
2 vegan options - vegan pho or vermicelli
