    Side of Smokey Ginger Chicken, BBQ Pork Broken Tater Tots, and Signature Lemongrass Pork Bowl
    Angelica L.

    Overall: 3.7/5 [takeout] We ordered online for takeout around lunchtime. There was no line, and the food was ready when we arrived so pickup was seamless. Signature Lemongrass Pork Bowl ($17): The bowl was pretty small for the price, but it tasted authentic. I liked the egg quiche, the use of actual broken rice, and the nuoc mam. The lemongrass pork, however, was not as good as the BBQ pork. It was a bit dry, and the lemongrass flavor did not really come through. "Broken" Tater Tots ($9): Tots with scallion oil, house-pickled daikon and carrots, topped with Saigon mayo and signature BBQ sauce. We chose BBQ pork as our protein. This was delicious and far better than the rice bowl. The tater tots were still crispy enough by the time we got home, so we did not need to air fry them again. Side of Grilled Meat ($5): We asked for the smoky ginger chicken so we could try all of the meats. The chicken did not look charred or flame grilled; it was actually quite wet, though still tender.

    My friend and I came here on a whim, looking for Vietnamese food nearby. Chef Bao was very welcoming, energetic, and friendly. He gave us recommendations on what to get, and we got the Saigon BBQ pork and the Lemongrass pork. I'll only speak for the Saigon BBQ but my friend said the Lemongrass pork was very good. The fusion of pickled vegetables and sauce provides a sour, puckering, mouth-watering sensation. Combine that with the juicy bbq pork and fresh cucumbers and you have quite the flavor platter mixing on your palate. Would certainly recommend a try, and I'll be back when time permits.

    Good sized rice bowl. The food came out quick. The food was fairly good along with the price. No big complaints, nothing blew me away also.

    Amazing food. Tried the Saigon bbq bowl. The meat was tender and flavorful and the rice and sides mixed perfectly. Loved the crispy rolls. The Vietnamese coffee was good too. Will definitely be back for more.

    This rice is far from broken! Everything was delicious and Bao was wonderfully kind. Come for the rice and stay for the Bao.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D

It's shaded and decorated with wisteria garlands, and there's a TV playing a chill mix of old and new music--not too loud, just enough to set a good vibe. We ordered two dinner platters--one beef, one lamb--and they were stacked. Each came with rice, salad, baba ghanoush, and hummus. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were huge--I easily got a second meal out of mine. We also tried the moussaka and it was yummmaay! Lebanese food doesn't appear to be super common around Austin, so it's awesome to have a spot like this. I was really appreciative of how welcoming the staff were--they checked in with us and made us feel like we were guests in their home. Just really warm, genuine people. Great food, great people, and a chill spot to hang out for a bit

The tabbouleh is my favorite. I dislike when too much lemon is used causing it to have a strong, bitter taste. All of the flavorings are perfectly balanced. The chicken kebab is perfectly marinated allowing the meat to remain tender and juicy without being dry or overcooked. Service is always super friendly and fast.
