I was excited to try this place after several people called this the most authentic place in the city. That may be true but the food was just fine. Not as good as several other places. Quite bland across the board. We upgraded to the hand made noodles, which were good, but honestly I think I prefer the traditional noodles better. The grilled pork needed seasoning. Service was very slow, but friendly. If I lived nearby, I would probably go again, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

When we went to the place it looked very busy which is a good sign of good food. Prices are great the only thing that is preventing me from giving them a full 5 stars nowhere on the menu was a plate for fried rice.

The staff was friendly and seated us promptly, which was a good start. Unfortunately, the dining experience became uneven once food service began. Our dishes came out at very different times, leaving some of us sitting and watching others eat both at the beginning and the end of the meal, which really disrupted the experience.
Another frustration was that several items listed on their online menu are no longer available, including the beer and wine selection. That was disappointing, as the availability of drinks factored into our decision to dine here in the first place. The menu clearly needs updating to reflect what’s actually offered.
As for the food, the banh mi and pho were good, but my entrée was a letdown. It was advertised as two pork chops (end cut), but what arrived was essentially one chop plus scraps, and the main chop was mostly bone, roughly 60% bone, leaving very little edible meat. Overall, decent flavors, but watch out for cheap cuts of meat and an outdated online menu. With some fixes, this place could easily improve.

Service is super slow or at least it was for me but the food was great! My friend got the wagyu pho and I got the lemongrass Banh Mi . They were a little heavy on the mayo but otherwise really fresh and delicious, will come back again but probably order to go so I’m not waiting 30min for a server

The server put down a glass of water with no ice and did not engage me. I was ready to order immediately, but he never said anything to me. The service wasn’t the worst experience ever but was just extremely weird. The food was all average and the portions did not seem correct at all for the pricing extremely overpriced and just not a good experience when I get far is me treating myself and I couldn’t wait to get out of there unfortunately. :/

The best Vietnamese restaurant in the Austin metro. I've been looking all over town reviewing Vietnamese restaurants to find quality equal to or better than I found at home in Houston. This is that place.
The best pho I've had was their Bone Marrow Hot Stone Pho. Rich, savory, and DEEP bone broth plus house made noodles. The best Banh Mi I've had was their Coldcut Style Banh Mi. Amazing baguettes, pate, and ample meats. A new dish I tried was their Bò Né Combo (House Favorite Combo), which blew me and partner away. The Vietnamese sausage & meatball were flavor explosions. Their Kumquat Sugarcane Juice was the best I've had as well. Sure it can be a bit pricey for some items, but it's on par for Austin pricing and all the items were worth EVERY PENNY.
I cannot say more good things about this place. I live closer to Austin staples like Fresh Bowl, Pho Phong Luu, Sip Pho, Bep Saigon, Tan My, and Pho Saigon, but no longer feel the need to go to these restaurants anymore. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin now.

Incredibly high quality and fresh food! The broth is to die for. I had the smoked brisket pho and wagu beef hot pot, would highly recommend both. Lastly, the service is so considerate and attentive, great recommendations and very prompt! Great place to eat solo or with a big group!

Went to dine in once and had a good experience. Good portion size. Then ordered to-go today, this is the portion of meat. Way smaller than dine in. The tiny piece on the fork is all the beef that we got. It was literally 3 beef slices.
