50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Austin

“My one year old grandson loving Daddy’s pho💕 Everything sooo tasty, especially # 49, tofu bún.“

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“I got the fried chicken pieces and the ramen and it was SO good. Super flavorful and fresh.

The chicken was super crispy and came with a good mayo. The ramen had a really balanced flavor with just a touch of spice.

I'll definitely be back!“

“Love Bodhi Viet and what they stand for. Everything on the menu is vegan Vietnamese, mostly faux meats in different formats, not a ton of tofu. Think seitan. Most dishes are served with fresh, raw veggies or steamed veg with no seasoning which is a nice balance with the heavy, salty faux meat. Everything my husband and I have tried has been delicious! We try to try a new item every time. I overheard the cashier tell a regular that R10 is her favorite (braised tofu rolls). $5 vegan banh mi is a steal, and most of the other entrees are $9. You can currently order online and pay there with card or cash.“

“highly recommend from a Vietnamese who know good authentic Vietnamese pho“

“Wonderful experience catering smokin beauty for a grad party for ~30 people. Portions were generous, prices were great, service was punctual and professional, and most importantly- food was delicious! Got lots of compliments and had plenty of leftovers“

“It’s a quick come and to go Vietnamese food and snacks. They are some tables for you to dine in as well and it’s highly recommended if you are ordering noodles soup or the steamed rice rolls. The food comes piping hot and tasty to our palette. They have fresh fried tofu, soy milk (sweetend/unsweetened), and other delicious Vietnamese bites as well.“

“I've visited this place several times, and each experience has been great. Plus, it's a family-owned business, which adds a genuine touch to the dining experience. I recommend giving it a try.

Food: The authentic Vietnamese cuisine they serve is truly comforting. Some menu items I like more than others. So far, my favorites are:

A1. Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
S1. Combo Banh Mi
N5a. Char Siu Egg Noodle w/ Wonton (w/ soup on the side)
N8a. Shrimp & Squid (w/ sauce & pork broth on the side)“

Open House Austin has a lot of resources and recommended vendors available, for both during and after buying a home. I found this incredibly helpful and valuable, and appreciate the effort made to help make home buying and home ownership less daunting.“

“I ate PHO Bo. Visiting Austin for 3 days and I was looking forward to eating some great BBQ and was let down Austin. However I searched for a great place to dine while I was in Austin and learned about the Le Bleu being an excellent local Vietnamese Cruise. Then I thought that I don’t recall when I had Vietnamese Cruise last. My expectation was high to eat some Pho especially the broth, veggies and beef. I’m not a noodle fan and me personally I want to be filled up by protein, veggies and broth whenever I have Pho. (Disclaimer I have eaten well throughout my visit in Austin and I was just looking for local cuisine that wasn’t glamorous nor expensive.) Le Bleu serving proportion is not to the custom of a cake bowl of Pho. The proportion was excellent, something from your own kitchen; not to be disappointed with. The broth, veggies, beef and even the noodles; yes the noodles was superb. You won’t be disappointed and my gluttony kicked in on having more and ordered Vietnamese coffee and chicken sandwich. You will be disappointed for not trying Le Bleu. No need to add fancy photos to lure you; glamour is overrated. You need to judge the food for yourself especially if you are a residence of Austin or anyone visiting Austin. Your tummy will be satisfied with some great food and drinks.“

“The dinner was great! we had enough left over for a meal the next day.“

“The best Vietnamese restaurant I've been so far in Austin! The owner came to my table to make sure everything was in order, so that speaks highly of how it is managed, definitely coming back ✌🏻“

“Cajun shrimp Banh Mi sandwich was delightful, first time here, we would recommend and revisit! 😋“

“I order from VCafe almost every week. Their food is delicious; I recently tried the bo kho, and it's so good. I will definitely order again.“

“The hapjowl seafood (fried wonton, seafood and vegetables) are our favorite. It's crispy and fresh!“

“WHELP it finally happened!

I finally got to a place i really wanted to eat at, because i have been here before and i absolutely love the food, only to find out i do not have enough to tip. I was devastated.

However, our server was not. She actually was amazing throughout our entire experience. She made us feel like family. From the complimentary butter, to the oh so properly dressed drinks, she was 100% on point. And i did not tip. My goodness i felt like royalty with the level of service that this server/bartender was able to provide. Almost immediately upon entering we were greeted with a coloring page for our child. Now that is top tier. ALSO, i was otw to the bathroom, the same server looks down the hallway and says the code for the door! I didn’t even know about the keypad! This woman was on top of absolutely everything!

I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to come back to make up for my misdeed.“

“Really nice & friendly folks! Nice & tasty food, nice size portions. Friendly service with a smile, very attentive! Did I mention the tasty food?? Oh, and decent prices 🙂 First visit today, we live in Cedar Park but when over that way will be sure to visit when we're looking for some good eats.“

“Spring rolls? 10/10 Phó? 10/10 Creme puff pastries? 11/10 Service? Unmatched!“

“I'm so grateful to have this as my friendly go-to neighborhood pho place. I go there regularly for my pho cravings. I also enjoy the Vietnamese crepes and everything else I've tried. The food is always delicious, and I love the casual seat-yourself atmosphere and the incredibly kind staff.“

“just got done eating. we got eggrolls, wontons, and freid pot stickers for appetizers. all very delicious! and served very quickly while piping hot. i ordered the N1 wok and fire egg noodle plate with the combination of beef chicken and shrimp. amazing so much flavor and lots of food. best food ive had ina a while. my freind got kung pow chicken and he loved his plate as well. so much food, he didnt finish his(light weight).“

“Nice and big portion vietnamese food“

“This is a nice, clean restaurant. Personally a huge fan of the modern Vietnamese music playing overhead.
Food was pretty good. I enjoyed it more than a majority of the Vietnamese restaurants in Austin. Service was however lacking.

Server was quick to have us seated, hand out menus, water, and took our order. Food was served within a reasonable time frame. A different person served us our food (I think she may have been the cook since she was coming from the kitchen) and noticed that the server had forgotten our utensils. She told the server to set our table up, and the server promptly came with a pre-set utensil basket. My husband ordered pho, but I noticed the typical pho spoon wasn’t given. We were planning to ask the server for it next time he swung around, but for the remainder of our time, our server didn’t stop by. In the end we just went with the metal spoon that came in our basket- not too much of a big deal, since we saw there was only one server at that time who was busy managing the front register and take-out orders.
It’s a little unexpected that there would only be one server for the restaurant on a weekend during lunch service, though… so come with the thought in mind that’s service may be lacking due to being understaffed.

Food was good. The pho broth was robust and flavorful, not overly sweet like how I’ve noticed with other restaurants which I appreciate. Our pho came with thick fresh noodles (banh pho tuoi) which my husband and I personally don’t like in general- especially this specific preparation since it was on the mushier side and was breaking apart in the broth. We always go for the regular thin noodles and were surprised when the pho arrived because our server never mentioned anything about the thick noodles. I’m unsure if they only use the thick fresh noodles here, or if there was an option to pick between that and the regular noodle, but our server never gave us the option to choose? Aside from that, the bowl was on the smaller side portion-wise compared to other restaurants, but reasonable for the price. The vege portion included bean sprouts, green pepper, and Thai basil which was also on the smaller portion size, but seemed fresh.
I got the Vietnamese shaken beef (Bo luc lac) with egg noodles. I enjoyed how it came with some mushroom (I think it was seafood mushrooms?) and bell peppers. The egg noodles has a wonderful firm texture and was coated nicely in the brown sauce. The beef was very tender, however the cuts weren’t very uniform. It also lacked the “wok hei” charred sort of flavor I usually enjoy with Bo luc lac. But it was generally seasoned well. I wish the noodles also came with the side of salt pepper lime like the rice version does, though.

Overall review: poor service, nice environment, food is promising but could be better. We look forward to given them another try and seeing how their other dishes are.“

“My favorite place to get banh mi in Austin.“

“their soup is super delicious! Price is very reasonable. Friendly people.“

“I love Hai Ky! Always fresh and fast. Went in yesterday and was surprised to discover at the end that there is now a "12.5% service & maintenance" fee. So on top of the regular menu price, tax & tip there is now a Service & Maintenance fee. I'm all for making more money but adding an additional line item is just the wrong way of going about it. Please raise the prices of the dishes or the drinks but don't add some arbitrary line charge to the receipt. That feels insulting to the customer and discourages directly tipping the service staff. The blow could've been soften if there was something written somewhere or if the staff told you about the additional charge. Instead, was blindsided at the end of the meal when the check was presented. No warning! Get rid of that charge!“

“I wish I had photos to share, but we didn’t leave any scraps to photograph“

“😁So delicious! I want to eat here every day. All of us left giddy with how good the food was leaving us happy and looking forward to going back. We had a pot of the Queen Jasmine tea, which was so smooth with a delicate floral tones. We ordered a Vermicelli bowl, Shaken beef and the Drunken noodles and oh my gosh we just loved all of them! Will definitely be going back.“

“My wife and I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! This spot everyone is SO nice. I love the Pho I get the chicken or the brisket all is amazing. The cold water service just makes the experience even better. One time I was craving the pho I called ahead they had the pho out as soon a I sat down were happy to accommodate my busy schedule. This place is a neighborhood 10/10“

“I really recommend Juicy Claws 🦞 they have excellent food a lot of options it’s delicious 🤤 and the great thing about it it’s that even they’re a seafood restaurant it’s not fishy smelly 😅 so am glad 😃“

“What a great place! We went as a group of ten! The menu had a good variety and the people were so nice!!!“

“Excellent establishment, perfect for an afternoon date or study time. Outlets at many tables, perfect lighting, and a radio at low levels to enhance focus made my study time ideal and enjoyable.

Now on to the food, oh my goodness, how delicious. The iced coffee is to die for, there are so many good menu items, my favorite being the lemongrass beef sandwich. They provide the Stubborn soda brand soda which is superior to Pepsi and coke on all levels.

The staff are nice and friendly, and work hard to make amazing menu items and to keep the place nice.

Each of these reasons are good enough on their own, and combined make it a staple for anyone coming through Austin.“
