I've ordered their sticky rice from here multiple times for takeout. It's nice and savory, features plenty of processed meat like pork floss and Chinese sausage slices. But it also has egg and scallions and pate; overall the combo is satisfying. Separate from takeout, we decided to go for an early dinner. Their Crab Vermicelli Stir Fry is surprisingly sweet, with sweetness as a prominent flavor. It features plenty of crab bits. I also grabbed a Skillet Combo. It came with two runny side up eggs, pate, two types of cured pork, beef gravy, and a handful of cilantro. The baguette came on the side, as did the mixed salad of lettuce and tomato. The salad had some dried shrimp, fish sauce, and a slightly sweet dressing. The restaurant itself is located in the Chinatown Center on N Lamar. It's a small corner shop. Lots of mirrors and glass. The staff are friendly enough. Unfortunately, they've closed, and it looks like another restaurant will be opening up in its place. The situation leaves me unsure about where to go to satisfy savory sticky rice cravings. read more

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) read more

Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] Bep Combo Tham has that classic Vietnamese restaurant look and seems to be women-owned. They have a diverse menu, and at the end of your meal, they give you some kind of almond cookie as a dessert. Prices are a bit steeper than I expect it to be for some items. Combo Sticky Rice / Xoi Thap Cam ($13.95): Different from what we typically have since they provided non-traditional sides. The separate components didn't work together and the overall dish didn't have the expected umami punch. Stir-Fried Crab Glass Noodles With Special Sauce / Mien Xao Cua Sot Dac Biet ($16.95): Delicious, but it took me a long time to process this meal. Generous portion of crab, and the crab didn't smell or taste seafoody. Combo 1 Broken Rice / Com Tam 1 ($16.50) + Extra Pork Skin / Bi Them ($3) + Extra Crab Loaf / Cha Cua Them ($3): This was good, but nothing stood out. Crispy Fried Taro With Egg / Bot Chien ($13.99): Crispy and tasty. Comes with a generous side of pickled veggies and shredded green papaya which paired well with the bot chien. Combo Banh Mi / Banh Mi Thap Cam ($7.95): This was so delicious that I wasn't satisfied with eating just half. It reminded me of Vietnam, which I think is thanks to the mayo and pate. Red Thai Tea / Tra Thai Do ($5.50): I've never seen any restaurant sell Red Thai Tea before, so I had to try it. Unfortunately, this tasted and looked like a regular Thai Tea. Almond Cookies: The first time we were here, the cookies were hard as rocks. The second time, they were soft and had a nice, subtle sweetness that cleansed my palate. read more

I love an authentic mom and pop restaurant, and this spot served up delicious, authentic Vietnamese food in the popular Chinatown area in North Austin. I never would have even come across it if it wasn't for my friend who suggested we grab lunch here! Everything was quick, casual, and tasty. Very homemade flair, fresh and hot. Overall I enjoyed what I tried and would definitely revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in the large shopping center with other Asian restaurants! - Reservations? No, very casual walk-in spot. FOOD RATINGS: - Salted egg and pork bao (5/5): These were perfectly steamed and hot and fresh, and the pork was so juicy and flavorful! The salted egg was yummy and went so well. I really enjoyed this! - Wonton egg noodle soup (4/5): Classic clear broth soup with good flavor! Loved the wontons and the noodles. The meat was good, too. Very comforting bowl. read more

First time I ever heard of Durian Sugar Cane Juice and it blew my mind in the best way!! OMG!!! I'm a sucker for Sugar Cane and not a lot of places and make it right without tasting fake. The drink here truly takes me back to Vietnam. They added Durian, real durian, with chunks and I think they blend it up. A small cup is plenty and is around $8. Very worth it to me since Sugar Cane itself is already pricey, let alone adding in Durian. Sorry for no picture, it was just sooo good! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Got to meet the owner, who is very sweet as well. Spacious location and have a wide variety of food options on the menu. Will have to come back for other dishes read more

I really wanted to like this place because their bo kho looks delectable, but I thought everything was just okay. The broth wasn't as flavorful or rich as I expected it to be, and the bread it came with wasn't baked that well. There was also no AC inside the restaurant, and my friend and I were sweating. I can tell this restaurant is pretty authentic, but perhaps what I ordered wasn't the best. I do think it's worth another visit! Staff is very friendly. read more

We were craving some Vietnamese food so we decided to swing by to because of the high reviews. We were greeted by a server who was very energetic and seated us quickly. I really liked that there was a mirror on one wall because while the sun was setting I was able to get a great view even though I wasn't seated across the windows. We wanted to order banh xeo and rice rolls but unfortunately they had stopped selling those a while ago so we ordered a vermicelli bowl and a banh mi. I loved the banh mi. The bread was so soft, it didn't hurt to bite into it or chew and the pork's temperature was like it came right off the stove. It wasn't what I expected for "grilled pork" but honestly I cannot complain because the sweet sauce that was covering the pork balanced out the hotness of the jalapeño. They didn't hold back at all with the amount of pork that they stuffed into it. The vermicelli bowl had the same pork taste that the banh mi did. There was a nice balance between lean and fatty pork meat. The noodles were thinner and shorter than I expected but the portion size was very big. To top off the meal, we got 2 coconut almond cookies on the house from our very passionate server. read more

Bep Co Tham is a bit of an unassuming establishment on the corner of the 'old chinatown' plaza. But inside, the restaurant is bright and spacious with a friendly staff. We got the Beef Stew Egg Noodles and the Pork Vermicelli with Egg rolls. The vermicelli was alright--the pork could use a bit of that char flavor. I also find it less favorable that they don't crush up the peanuts and have them on the dish as halves. But that wasn't my dish so you can take that with a grain of salt haha. The star of the show was definitely the beef stew noodles (N10 or N11 on the menu i believe). You can tell there was a lot of love put into making that stew! So much flavor! I enjoyed it lots, but towards the end, it did get a bit salty for me. For several of their noodle dishes you can pick either rice noodle or egg noodles, which is nice. We didn't get to try any of the drinks, but they have an abundance of offerings from fruit and floral teas to fresh sugarcane juice. Will definitely need to try some next time! read more

I was looking for some healing soup so I decided to stop in here. The waiter was very friendly, polite, and attentive. I asked for his top recommendation and he suggested the banh canh. There's not many places in Austin that offer this soup so I gave it a shot. I was definitely not let down. It was a really good portion and well seasoned. I would've loved it more if it was slightly more seasoned/salty (but maybe that's a personal preference). I also got the sugarcane juice and that was soooo good. read more

This place serves the worst seafood Hu Tieu I have ever had. If you're familiar with this dish then you can tell by the photo that the broth is flavorless and the toppings is disappointing. The moment the waiter served me the bowl, I knew I made a huge mistake. I think a bowl of instant ramen has more flavor. The broken rice combo was ok, the meat was decent, but the fish sauce was too sweet. I would give it a 1 star but I have only had the courage to try this place once. I really hope the chef screwed up just this one time. read more

I recently visited this restaurant with my family and decided to give it a try. It's located in the MT Grocery Store Plaza. The restaurant itself is a decent size, with multiple tables for both small and large groups. I ordered the broken rice dish with pork chop and Chinese sausage, along with a regular-sized sugarcane juice. Overall, it wasn't bad. I particularly enjoyed their chili paste, which had the perfect amount of spiciness for me. However, I wish the dish had included shredded pork skin. The Banh Mi was solid, with plenty of filling and a good amount of pâté on the bread. My sister had the Mi Quang and mentioned that it was decent. Overall, this place isn't bad, and I would come back to try other items on the menu. Service was okay. Did have to wait a bit before getting our order maybe because my sister was there first and told them that she still waiting for people to come. read more

We grabbed some amazing banh mi and bons to go, and let me tell you, this place was spotless! Our server was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us. The banh mi we tried was hands down the best we've had in Austin! While it felt a bit different from some of the other incredible banh mi experiences I've had--maybe it was missing a bit of that cold beet or a wider variety--overall, it was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

Unassuming, no-frills establishment serving up some local viet food besides pho. I enjoyed coming here to try the other viet food and ordered bun rieu. It's not the best bun rieu I've had in my life but it wasn't bad either. It reminded me of local standard Asian food and I'd come back to try some of the other dishes as well. read more

The second time I went, had the sticky rice and banh mi and I think this is probably my favorite spot for Banh Mi special combo. Very generous fillings inside the bread. The sticky rice dish was also delicious and full of flavors. I'm a big fan of their home-made pate. Service is always good. They always greet you with a smile. Very casual spot. Will be returning. read more

The food here is so good! I came with a relatively large group, of around 14 and we were able to be immediately seated. The staff was super friendly and quick to get out orders. However, the timing of all the food coming out was kind of random. Everything came out together for the most part, but then three people's dishes took a lot longer to come out. But that might just be because we had such a large group. The food itself was really delicious. It wasn't too heavy and the serving sizes were pretty decent. I had the pork vermicelli bowl and almost couldn't finish it. But I do wish they gave us more fish sauce. read more

If you're looking for solid Vietnamese food, Bep Co Tham is an excellent choice! We've become regular customers here because the food is consistently amazing, and the staff is so sweet and attentive.

Today, we tried the hu tieu hai san and bo kho, and both dishes were flavorful and absolutely delicious.

Very simple, in terms of decoration, venue, with solid Vietnamese food. Prices were low in my opinion for Austin; excellent value. Friendly and attentive staff. The place had a very clean, organized feel to it. There was a sign outside that said "soft opening." So I assume they have not been open all that long. Shrimp spring rolls were fresh tasting, with three good size shrimp, and easy to eat rice paper wrapping. I had a noodle soup that included shrimp and squid in a delicious broth, that was not pho, but was a very inviting alternative. Regrettably, I cannot remember the name of the noodles. They were extremely thin and brownish. Really liked them a lot! Grilled pork bánh mì sandwich was almost perfect. Full of grilled pork, cucumber, light on the jalapeños, which was great for me as I'm not a big fan of spicy, and the bread was really good, crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. I enjoyed this place, although it's not going to get high marks as a romantic venue. However, the tasty food, friendly servers, and good value make it a place that I will return to. read more

Quan Co 9 is now Bep Co Tham. The new owners are the original owners of KN Kitchen who owned Texas Bakery and served banh mi with customers out the door in the morning. It seems promising, so looking forward to going back. Mi Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) that you can choose to eat it with bread, rice noodles or egg noodles. Banh Mi was very similar to what I remembered from Texas Bakery. There's a thick layer of pate where it was not mixed up so much with butter either making it less gooey.The pork had sauce which I'm always on the lookout for. Com Dac Biet (Special Rice Plate) is my highest recommendation, at least before they figure out the family style meals. The rice plate a lot of meats including a shrimp cake wrapped in bean curd. It's inconsistent at the moment, some days you get meatloaf and before I didn't. So they're probably still trying to work it out. Hu Tieu Suon (Rib Noodle Soup) which is not a common noodle soup but good when and hearty. It lacked umami and they don't serve bread sticks but the ribs were fall-off the bone. read more

We are always looking for quality Asian restaurants and this place is now one of them! Our first time visiting on a weekend for lunch and we were seated right away. I got the grilled pork banh mi and it was delicious. The bread has the perfect amount of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They do not skimp out on the meat and toppings. The pork was tender and super flavorful. We also ordered the broken rice combo and wonton soup. Both dishes were amazing and fresh. I personally really enjoyed the wonton soup broth. This place is a no frills restaurant that serves up authentic Vietnamese dishes. They also bring out complimentary almond cookies which was the perfect way to end the meal! read more

All our dishes were tasty. My husband thought the hu tieu bowl could have had more sliced char siu pork and ground pork because it didn't have enough protein to fill him up. Bun rieu was good - would definitely order again. We received almond cookies at the end of our meal instead of fortune cookies which was a nice touch. Good service. I love the VIetnamese jelly (agar agar) available for purchase. read more

Very nice people and pretty solid vietnamese food!! It's clean inside and phenomenal service. We typically do family style meals so my mom didn't order anything and they gave us a free drink! They also gave us some cookies to try. The owner/chef (I think) came out and talked with us for a bit which was super cool. She said they had been open for about a year and she used to own another place in the same area but sold it and bought this location. I got the com tam (broken rice) and hủ tiếu with shrimp squid and I asked for the pork on the additional. We also got fried chicken rice plate. All were pretty solid!

I came on a normal weekday. My plan was to find a place to dine and then go to a boba tea store afterwards to do some work on my laptop. Ended up at Bep Co Tham and ordered one of their specials, the skillet combo. Presentation was great, you get a side salad, a banh mi, and a skillet full of meat so I think $18 is pretty worth it! And the food tasted SO GOOD. Their pate and butter when dipped with chili sauce is next level. The server told me that their pate, butter, meat and stuff were all made by them, no wonder why it's so good and I've never had the same pate anywhere else before. I would just be happy with a banh mi, their pate and butter to be honest. Service was great, nothing to say there. Ambience was also great; it might be because I came on a weekday after rush hour (~3pm), the restaurant was quiet and other tables were also pretty chill when eating and ordering. They have bright interior and a bunch of glass windows which is an environment I love to do work in. So I just stayed there and ordered their butterfly pea boba tea instead (keep in mind their butterfly pea milk tea is the only tea that's Jasmine tea). The presentation for everything including the tea was very nice, and the taste of Jasmine flowers really came through. Totally would come back again! read more

Great price for the food quality! Is it the absolute best vietnamese food in Austin? No, but it's pretty dang good quality for the price you're paying. Got the $7 tofu banh mi (it's on the smaller side, but that's fine for me because I find most banh mi to be too big for one serving and too small for two servings). My friend got the beef vermicelli w/ fried egg roll (V5) which was pretty big! Vegetarians, make sure to let the server know that you're vegetarian when ordering the tofu banh mi - it actually comes with pate (which is like a meat paste). read more

This place is so good. My husband and I had a fantastic experience here. We got the scorched rice appetizer and it was SO GOOD. We had never had anything like it before. It was super crispy and the toppings were delicious. The noodle and pork plate my husband got was also very good. I got the vermicelli and crab dish that was on the menu and was a special that day, it was so delicious. We also got the coffee flan cake and it took all of my effort to not eat it before my husband got a bite! The service was great. Everyone was very nice. It's that kind of hybrid table service where you get sat and order at the table but then go to the counter to pay. Everyone was great. The ambiance is really bright, clean, and simple. Comfortable chairs and tables. There's a wonderful amount of natural light which makes for a very nice lunch date. I like the paintings on the wall as well. This will definitely be a common lunch date place for us now. They have a great menu with some options that are pretty unique for the area. Super happy with the experience. read more

Came here on a Sunday around noon. There were a few small parties already but we were seated immediately. They have small tables wrapped around the place and longer tables in the middle. The server was attentive to us and came to check in as we decided on our order. We shared the chasiu wontonn egg noodle dish and a fried pork bun (sorry forgot the vietnamese name!). I liked the noodle dish but the chasiu tasted a little off for me, almost like it was overcooked? My partner thought it was fine so maybe it's just me not used to having that served in soup. The pork bun was supposed to come in two pieces, but actually came in a giant piece cut in half. It was sizable so I guess it was fine, but still kind of odd. I liked the taste of it besides for the chinese sausage which I'm not usually a fan of anyway. My partner also order coffee, and to our dismay it came powered instead of freshly made. I think it made my stomach hurt a little after, so I'd skip it and grab coffee elsewhere in the plaza! read more

Unassuming, family owned and operated Vietnamese restaurant, a must try. We had lunch there yesterday and were pleasantly surprised by how accomplished everything was. The food was authentic, fresh and served by a very friendly and knowledgeable server. Mother and father do the Saigon style cooking to perfection, including the "real" Nem. Unlike all the other "spring rolls", this was made using filo dough for a thin, crisp wrap with the right stuffing. Crunchy and delectable. I am including photos of their extensive menu and offerings as of Dec. 2024. We will definitely be back often though we live outside of Dripping Springs. read more

Friendly service. We ordered for our group of six (two adults, four kids) and the food was out within 10 minutes. We ordered... C1 - Com Tam (Combo Broken Rice with pork chop) N8 - Mi Hoanh Thanh (Wonton Egg Noodle) V1 - Bun Rieu (Seafood Vermicelli Soup) A10 - Cha Gio (Fried Egg Roll) A9 - Banh Bao Kep Xa Xiu (Char Siu BBQ Pork Bao) Everything was tasty. The egg rolls weren't soggy. My favorite was the special of the day, Bun Rieu. It's listed on their menu as a regular item so I hope it's available every day. The only thing I would improve on is having the food come out all at once. My wife's order came out first, then a couple minutes later one of the kid's came out, then another minute passed before something else came out, etc. I noticed another table of two had one order come out and a few minutes passing before the second order (both bowls of noodle soup of some sort) arrived. read more

Amazing bo kho banh mi (beef stew with French baguette) and nuoc mia (sugarcane juice)! Was visiting from SoCal and was craving for some Vietnamese food, but was worried I might run into another dud restaurant. This play did not disappoint! The Bo Kho was so flavorful and rich. The toasted bread was just perfect. The nuoc mia definitely fixed my craving and was so refreshing after the rich meal I just had. My BF loves their banh mi and will be back for some more. If you're not much a sweet tooth type of person but want a nice dessert, try their pandan jello! One of my favorite dessert as a kid because I love the texture!! read more
