First things first: 1618 Asian Fusion is located in a busy and popular area of South Austin, but…read morethere is a free parking garage right across the street, which makes visiting much easier. The dining environment is comfortable, clean, and fun. It has a lively atmosphere that works well for hanging out with friends, date nights, or even a casual dinner when you want something a little nicer. Their menu has a great variety of food and drinks to choose from, which makes it a good spot for groups. I tried the dim sum and pho, and both were fresh and delicious. What surprised me the most was that the prices were actually very reasonable, especially considering the location, atmosphere, and quality of the food. No wonder every time I come here, it's always packed. It's rare to find an Asian fusion restaurant that does this concept right, but 1618 really pulls it off.

It definitely does not…read morefeel like a traditional pho or Vietnamese restaurant at all, which might be a plus or minus depending on what you are looking for. I have been here for both lunch and dinner and it is pretty busy during both times, so clearly it is popular. I tried the Pho Please pho and the mi kho dry egg noodles. The pho was fine but nothing really stood out. It tasted good enough but did not have that depth or richness that makes you crave pho again. The mi kho dry egg noodles were also pretty mid and honestly lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing and I kept wanting to add more to make it pop. I also got the brown sugar milk tea, which I actually really liked. It was very sweet, which worked for me, but some of my friends thought it was way too sweet for their taste. Definitely something to keep in mind if you prefer lighter drinks. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty fast, which is nice when it is busy.

First off, they didn't offer hoisin sauce or sriracha with the pho, or even ask if we needed…read moreutensils. That was the first sign of how this experience was going to turn out. I had my boyfriend pick up the food and he forgot to check for the hoisin sauce. I can't eat pho without it, so I called the store and was told it was offered but that he must not have heard the employee asking. I tried to eat the pho anyway, and it ended up being one of the worst bowls of pho I've ever had. I'm Vietnamese, so I know what good pho should taste like. The broth was extremely bland and watered down, with no aroma or real pho flavor. Without hoisin sauce it was even worse. I tried adding seasoning to make it taste decent but nothing helped. The noodles were also hard and clumped together in one big chunk. I had to microwave them for about three minutes just to get them to separate. In the end, I gave up and threw away our 2 -$18 bowl of pho. The broth tasted worse than instant pho. Very disappointing. I should have known better than to order pho downtown.

Absolutely loved this place!! Everything we ordered was so good, but the Wagyu pho really stood out…read moresuper rich, flavorful broth and the beef just melts in your mouth. The brisket pho was also great, comforting and packed with flavor. Crab rangoons were obviously amazing as well. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The place is super cute on the outside and inside as well. This is definitely going into my regular rotation whenever I'm craving pho. Can't wait to come back soon!!!

They have a UT student discount if you show your ID, which is a nice bonus. You order at the counter and self serve your own water and drinks, so everything feels quick and casual.

We got a lot of food here and family styled everything. Everything was delicious! The standout dish…read morefor me was the salt and pepper calamari! SOOOO good. Probably the best calamari I've ever had. Great flavor and fresh tasting. Would come back just to get this. Service was just ok - we had a large group and we took up 2 tables that were sitting back to back. The server kept walking back and forth between our 2 tables and kept bumping into my chair/bag which was really annoying me. Other than that, I'd just like to point out that their prices are on the higher side for Viet food. It gave bougie Viet food vibes from the prices, which I thought was unreasonable since the ambiance wasn't anything special or over the top. Probably wouldn't come back unless I was craving their calamari.

This spot is a decent option when your usual go-to places aren't available. It's not somewhere I'd…read morego out of my way for, but it gets the job done if you're craving Vietnamese food and don't have many other choices. The pho is definitely the highlight--it's flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying enough to hit that comfort food craving. You can tell they put some effort into the broth, which is a big plus. That said, the portions leave a bit to be desired, especially when it comes to the protein. You don't get as much meat as you'd expect, which can make the meal feel a little less filling than it should be. Overall, it's an okay replacement when your favorite spots aren't an option. Not bad by any means, just not quite on the same level--but still worth considering in a pinch.

This really hit the spot and satisfied my pho craving after the winter storm. I'm so glad they were open because this meal saved my life. I'm a changed person. The vibe is very classic pho spot and took me back to my favorite pho restaurant at home. The workers were also very sweet and attentive and we got our food super quick. Like really quick. I got their large number 1 pho and the large is a very generous portion. The bowl was as big as my head. But the meat cuts were so soft and chewy and the broth tasted amazing. My pet peeve is when pho noodles are too soggy or soft but these were perfect.

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.
