Stopped by 888 Pan Asian and ordered the combination pho. It was really good with a flavorful broth, generous portions, and plenty of meat. The serving size was definitely worth it because I had leftovers, and it somehow tasted even better reheated the next day. Always a great sign when the quality holds up after taking it home. Solid spot for pho if you're looking for a satisfying meal with big portions. Note to self: make sure to ask for the chili crisp oil on the side next time. It didn't taste nearly as good without it, and they don't automatically include it. Definitely worth requesting because it adds so much more flavor. read more

Pho anyone?? Anyone craving pho or vermicelli/rice plates, this is the place to be!! From the fried egg rolls to their spring rolls and pho, this place is authentically good. Also had the Tom Yum Soup and that was delicious. This place is great if you want really good Vietnamese dishes!! Photos to come later due to not having anytime to take photos cuz it's so damn good here! read more

888 Pan Asian feels like a classic Austin Pan-Asian spot at this point. It's been around forever and does exactly what you want it to do. They've got a solid variety of safe, reliable Asian dishes. Orange chicken, General Tso's, all the usual comfort orders, and they're consistently good. Nothing weird, nothing disappointing. Their pho is seriously slept on. It's good quality, especially for the price, and hits the spot every time. This is such an easy go-to when you don't know what you're in the mood for, or when you're eating out with friends after playing sports or hanging out downtown. Just dependable food that gets the job done. read more

A bottle of wine on the house and a giant bowl of delicious, heart-warming pho. 888 Pan Asian treated us like family and I had one of my favorite meals from my visit to Austin! The menu is extensive, but everything our table ordered was delicious, with layers of flavor and giant portions. The owner (I think) came by and gave us this bottle of wine on the house just out of kindness. Truly made our meal memorable and seriously cannot recommend enough! read more

You know a restaurant is good when you pull up and it is PACKED, always a good sign! This Vietnamese restaurant did not disappoint. We were craving pho and decided to give this place a try so we ordered to go. This place must be the go to spot as it was very crowded and there were people waiting outside. We only tried the pho but from what I understand there are lots of options on the menu. We enjoyed this place so much that we actually got pho again the next day read more

The food was DELICIOUS and you get huge portions. I ordered the flat noodle combination platter. The shrimp were Juicy. The chicken and steak were seasoned excellently. It was my first time having flat noodles and they were actually pretty good. I literally was able to eat on the same plate for three days. Service was great and the restaurant was very busy so it lets me know it was a good Austin staple. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures read more

888 Pan Asian Restaurant - Their shrimp fried rice is good but idk if it's 9.75 good for the amount they gave - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came during a busy time and luckily there was only a 10 minute wait. The service was fast but we did have some communication issues, I had received the wrong order and my mother did as well. It was also a bit louder than expected and some of the customers nearby were a bit unmannered putting their feet on the chairs.. definitely not a super fancy restaurant but it's affordable. For 3 adults it'll be around $75. Wonton soup is great! Port egg rolls taste like they were premade, their noodle stir fry is good! read more

First time here Love the name by the way! The food is so tasty and very generous in portions. I had the tom kah and the steam dumplings, my friend had the pho. The sauces are spectacular, I really enjoyed this lunch more than I can say. Everything looked amazing, too bad I was not as hungry but everything I had was delicious! They said their coffee is fantastic, will have to come back to try it. read more

This is great ATX staple. They have pretty good food all around with very large portions for almost everything. I have gotten takeout and have dinner in as well. I truly enjoy their Tom Kha soup even though they are some kinda chili oil that makes it orange instead of the traditional white. Still pretty tasty though. Prices are decent for the size of the plates. The service is always very friendly and attentive and they seem to know a lot of the regulars. Pretty decor with bright colors. Never too loud even though it's always full. read more

This used to be my go-to place for many years. They used to have a pretty good lunch buffet. But my last lunch buffet visit there was around 2018ish. After covid came they shut that down and have not brought it back. But I have been back a few times since covid. The quality seems to be upholding, but the portions have been reduced. Most recently I got a Pad Thai to go, and the container was really small. It's deceiving - it's the same size length wise, but the depth of the container is about 50% less. Yeah, pretty significant. That was an eye opener when I saw that so I mentioned this to the guy. He agreed with my consensus. I told him it looks like I would get a better portion if I eat in-house, he said yes. So this is one of those places where I did frequent many years ago, and referred them. But now - meh. They don't do anything here that is spectacular or phenomenal, or any unique offerings that are better than others (for example Pad Thai - it's everywhere, and there is a variance in quality, but their Pad Thai doesn't separate themselves from the rest of the pack). Service here has always been nice, attentive, and courteous. I may go back but just not as frequently. They are also connected to the Vietnamese place off Oltorf near Burton St intersection. read more

888 Pan Asian Restaurant is my go-to for authentic Asian cuisine. You enter the restaurant and go back in time with the Asian decor. The menu is expansive with so many options to choose from. I usually order my food to-go and it is always prepared quickly and accurately. This visit, we decided to dine in and were seated at a booth. The service was friendly and efficient. They also have expansive operating hours and are open late. We started with the Vietnamese Egg roll appetizer that was served on a bed of veggies with a side salad garnish that had a great flavor. My only comment about this dish is it could have used a sweet chili or sweet and sour dipping sauce. I ordered my usual, the Grilled Pork and Egg roll vermicelli. The portion size of the dishes are very generous. It came with fresh veggies and fish sauce to add on top. The pork and egg rolls are so flavorful. I couldn't finish the dish in one setting. Also ordered the Pho with meatballs that was served with fresh herbs like basil, bean sprouts and jalapeño. Neither of us finished our meals and packed up the leftovers to take home for another meal. Definitely a go-to for Asian cuisine with consistent and high quality menu options. read more

Super underrated spot for a yummy, comforting asian meal! We walked in on Saturday night (2 people) and had about a 15 minute wait. I got their veggie rolls to start and they were really flavorful and had a great, crispy texture. My boyfriend got the crab rangoons and scrafed them all down! I tend to order fried rice or lo mein so I wanted to get something different for my main. I ended up getting the veggie egg noodle soup with vegetable broth - HUGE portion! You definitely need to add some of the seasonings they bring on the side to bring out the flavor (cilantro, bean sprouts), it was super comforting and filling. read more

This place made is very disappointing experience on Easter. I was first and last time. I was excited for my order was taken, but after waiting 41 minutes, my food never came.I watched multiple larger groups from different races who arrived after me get their food while I was completely overlooked. No updates, no check-ins.It honestly made me feel like I was being treated differently. I see they look at me multiple times and I ended up leaving without eating and the management wouldn't say they're wrong for what they done. I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

All these years, and 888 just keeps delivering. Affordably priced, huge portions, and attentive staff. They have changed the menu over the years, but consistently keep their prices consistent and have something for literally everyone on the menu. We decided to switch it up a bit this time and were incredibly pleased. When I saw the duck taco on the menu, I assumed it was going to be a single (slightly expensive) taco but wanted to give it a try. Only to find out that it was not 1, but three! With the amount of meat, you probably could have stuffed 2 large tacos, but regardless, it was filled with flavor and a nice switch up. Topped off with a beef pad Thai, enough to feed three people. All around a successful meal. read more

This is a very popular place. The portions are large and rather unique. Service was very good.

I've been here a few times and always love their Lo Mein--it's seriously one of the best around. This time I dropped in for lunch and tried some different dishes. The chicken satay was awesome--juicy, flavorful, and the sauce was spot on. The spring rolls (both veggie and shrimp) were just okay. Nothing bad, just kind of average. What really stood out was the Panang curry lamb chop--so good! Rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I'd definitely order that again We finished with the mango sticky rice. The rice part was great, but the mango just wasn't ripe or sweet enough, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, still a favorite spot and worth going back for the hits on the menu. read more

First time back in 10 years & nothing has changed, in a good way! Plenty of seating, and to make things more plentiful, the menu! Typically a massive menu, and multiple cuisines are a red flag but pls don't cave in because everything we had here is delicious. Ordered the Bangkok Wings, Papaya Shrimp Salad (NOT Thai version), Panang Red Curry & Yellow Curry We got the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Good, but felt there could have been a bigger portion. The salad was refreshing and well balanced The curries were not overwhelming but aromatic w/ the herbs and coconut Bangkok wings were super savory Big shoutout to the service as there's plenty of staff to go around and all took turns going around asking if anything was needed Only one tv and it was kinda hidden behind the counter so that was kind of nice for the ambiance. Will be back! read more

I had been about 2 years since we have had food from 888 and even longer since we had dined inside versus getting taken out. We enjoyed it so much on a Sunday that we went a few days later for lunch on a Wednesday. I believe our waiters name was Cesar both times. Super nice and attentive. I'm not sure when they refurbished and spruced up the dining area, but I love the new interior and the beautiful yellow seats. Both visit we started with the pork egg rolls. They are smaller than what you would be used to, but tasty. Grilled Squid as well. It was OK, but wouldn't order it again. For entrees we had the Combination Pad Thai, Tom Kha Gai, Chicken Pad Thai, Mongolian Beef, Combination Sizzling Lemongrass Platter, Combination Fried Rice and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Also the portion sizes are enormous. We left with leftovers for 2 more meals for each plate. The coffee was a little stronger than usual, but not bad. My favorite entree though hands down was the Combination Sizzling Lemongrass Platter. Had a little bit of everything... perfect for me that can never make up her mind. Can't wait to come back :) read more

After a few years I have to redo my review. It has definitely changed. The ginger chicken which was my favorite is no longer spicy ( I even requested extra ginger) and as you can see from the picture the difference... they gave me a dish full of onions and peppers and barely any chicken at all. I ain't expect to pay 20+ for onions not to mention most of the sauce was spilled in the bag. read more

I came here for panang curry and it was excellent, rich and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. I also tried a few bites of my companion's pho and it was equally delicious, fragrant broth and tender noodles that made it really comforting. The portions were generous, so it felt like a great value for how satisfying both dishes were. The dining room is bright and comfortable with plenty of seating, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Everything came out quickly and piping hot, which made the whole experience even better. I have only been once so far, but based on how good both dishes were I am already looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. Could do takout sometime, but I thought it was comfortable in here. :) read more

This place made it on our food list for the weekend trip to Austin because a lot of food trucks we picked were not opened until evening. But glad we stopped in right at opening at 12:00pm After about 20 mins the whole restaurant is packed! Service is great, friendly and restaurant is clean with a nice hint of fabuloso! Red snapper with tamarind sauce hit the spot 7/10 if it was a tad bit less sweeten I would give this a 10/10 Grilled pork combo 10/10 portion is huge! 888 this restaurant sure has luck! read more

Appreciate this place is open late and the wide variety of Asian food options. However cant help but feel the food we ordered was just OK. The service was fast and very nice, and their chilli oil on the tables is really good- not the typical brand. But the Pho was lacking flavor and the papaya salad was under dressed. I also wasn't a fan of their fish sauce. If I could give this place 3.5 stars I would, but feel it doesn't hold up to the quality of asian food you can get elsewhere in Austin. Would be great for late night though! read more

Can't say we were impressed with this place as our pick for dinner one night. We took our food home to go, this place is bustling, and crowded, with people waiting outside the door. If you enjoy thick fair food style breading for your food, good on you, but something just didn't taste right to us. lol the breading for our calamari and chicken was thick and spongey and sweet, we compared it to fair grounds funnel cake batter (see photo to get better view) . Just Not our preference or taste profile... Our chicken pho was good Got papaya salad and it was wayyyy too sweet and almost bland to tick off boxes for other taste options.. although, I did appreciate the shrimp size I guess I'm so used to lao style papaya salad from back home in San Diego, that this just did not hit the spot for me. I had to add 2 types of fish sauces, fresh squeezed lime juice, and red Thai chilli peppers to adjust the flavors to my liking, at this point I should've just made it myself :/ Another down side, They forgot our Thai tea, had to call back and they offered a refund back to our card. Husband said he didn't like the food here, and he likes almost anything, so he's a critic in itself, lol guess this was a one and done :( read more

I ordered take out for a quick lunch. The service was fast and straight forward from phone order to pick up. Loved the homey inside ambiance. The presentation for take out was impressive! I like the large take out tub the vermicelli was in. Unfortunately, the actual dish was not on par. The beef seemed plentiful but was huge cuts of fatty meat making it hard to eat without using extra utensils to cut it up. The sauce ramekin was small and did not cover all the items in the entree container, making the whole meal quite bland. I had quite a bit of left overs but vermicelli does not heat well due to fresh vegetables and cold (hard) noodle.. The salt and pepper squid was almost entirely deep fried batter. The seasoning wasn't the normal "Vietnamese salt and pepper". And the actual squid were just body pieces and not legs or rings. It was served over fresh vegetables and a container of jasmine rice, I was not a fan of this item either. For a $30+ meal... I wasn't satisfied and definitely regretted my choices. With other Vietnamese options close by, I don't think I'd order these items from 888 again. read more

My go to take out- and I drive a ways to get it! Nice people. Good flavor on the dishes. Excellent curry. Highly recommend

Food is really good and the portions are really sizable. We stopped in and ordered royal sampler which had a lot so you can fill up. It came with pork egg rolls, seafood puffs, crispy shrimp, grilled squid, and sugar cane beef. The squid was done nicely and was not chewy. Then we also had the pho tai Bo vin and the yellow curry with chicken. Flavors are fantastic, broth was really good and we all left very happy. We will be back again and will remember the portions! read more

Disappointing! I read so many reviews claiming this place had great food and good portions. I ordered beef clay pot, BBQ & sausage clay pot, pho & tom kar gai. The beef clay pot is a beef & vegetable dish in a lot of cornstarch, thickened broth. This is not a beef clay pot. I haven't tried the other dishes, but from this beef clay pot, it's pretty obvious most of the customers here don't eat real Chinese food. read more

We tried out 888 based on my sister in law recommendation, as it was a place she went frequently when she lived in a previous apartment and hadn't been in a little while. We got it to go to have at her place after doing an escape room. I like that they have a broad enough menu to accommodate everyone. My kiddo demolished his chicken fried rice. My husband and his sister enjoyed what they got as well. I really enjoyed the veggie spring/egg rolls that we got. I liked my green curry, but ended up only eating about 1/3 of it and leaving the rest for my sister in law as leftovers. I think I would have preferred other veggies, or more variety of veggies, over the ones that came with it, but I get that is personal preference. read more

Wow!!! I was in Austin to visit with my nieces and we went out for a late lunch Sunday afternoon. My UT niece suggested this as it is a favorite of theirs and the food was good and portions large. The inside is more along "Asian diner" but the menu has a nice variety and the food did not disappoint!! I ordered Pho Tai Chin - I thought they were bringing me the pot -the dish was huge!! I swear it's double the size of any Pho I've ordered! It was steaming hot and the smell was amazing! I've never had such fresh basil and sprouts before-so. Tips and flavorful. The broth was full bodied (bone broth for sure) and I loved it- I did manage to eat all my noodles and beef -which were plentiful-but I had half a bowl left. So took it back to the house so I could fix myself ramen for lunch. I highly recommend this place and any chance I get to Austin in the future this is top of my list!! read more

Came in on a Saturday evening and received EXCELLENT speedy service!! We parked in the parking lot, walked in and were immediately seated. Our orders were taken and food arrived quickly.

We were able to take both home--so much bang for your buck here!! read more

What a random find for us. We were in the area and looked up "best Asian near me" and found this gem. The service is very quick and friendly. A diner type of atmosphere but that still didn't take away from the charm of the place. The crispy noodle dishes was literally the homemade version of the canned fried chow mien noodles you get at the store. Very unique and very good! Also tried the General Tso with white meat and it was perfectly fried with good quality chicken. About the only minor disappointment was the pad thai. Not enough tamarind and a little heavier on lemongrass and cilantro than I would have liked. The pho being served around the restaurant looked AMAZING. Next time. read more

Not going to lie, i was so skeptical of this spot for the longest time thinking it wasn't going to be authentic because it's so popular but i finally gave it a try and it took me by surprise!

What happened to this place? Either they changed management or they are trying to save on costs. I used to go here all the time so I know the food was good. But today I ordered a tofu clay pot and panang curry with duck to go. Had I have eaten there maybe I would have been able to get a new dish. But the tofu clay pot was disgusting tasting. There is an off-putting smell/taste and I had to throw away the whole thing. Their panang curry had NO FLAVOR. Literally could not taste anything at all. I used to love their curries which is why I trusted that this panang would be good. I wasted 35 bucks here for food that was below average... So disappointed. read more
