This is one of the best pho places outside of our home cooked pho. I always get the Wagyu pho where they have a special "expert" person who is not the waitstaff hand pour over the pho broth into the bowl. The meat was tender and savory. The both is light and smooth but still with flavor. This time I went with a buddy who is Vegetarian. He ordered the vegetarian pho and gave it his seal of approval for tastiness. I definitely recommend for those how happen to wonder out to north Austin/Pfluferville read more

TL;DR, good food, too noisy atmosphere, wouldn't come back due to that alone. Long version: We chose this place because they have a vegan pho (very hard to find since pho is inherently just not vegan lol-the bone broth is what makes it pho and not soup so this is a rare find!). The food was fast and tasted good. I got the shrimp pho (not vegan) and my partner got the vegan pho with "raw" tofu (it said it came fried and we both hate deepfried tofu, so we appreciate they did that for us ). The waitress checked on us several times. That said, I would not come back here. The noise level was horrendous. The constant scraping of metal chairs on concrete and the echo chamber the tall blank walls and bare metal ceiling causes was equivalent to nails on a chalkboard for the whole meal. Additionally , the music volume was SO high. I think someone went up to talk to them About the noise and the employee just looked like he didn't care , wouldn't look at her and just kept shrugging and making a "what can you do face". I almost asked them to turn the music down too but instead wore noise canceling AirPods my whole meal :-/ it was not an enjoyable experience to be honest and canceled out the other positives i mentioned. Hope they do something about the scrapping chairs in the future. Idk-put rubber caps on them all and have extra to replace them as they inevitably fall off??? read more

Lovely pho with generous portions and delicious flavor. Perfect for a cold day birthday lunch. Service was available if you needed something but honestly, we were never in need as they delivered everything asked for without having to ask a second time. read more

The egg rolls were delicious! I did want it to try the chicken broth but it tasted minty which i didn't like. Otherwise great service and reasonable prices! read more

Stopped in for dinner and was really happy I did. Parking situation is a little crazy, had to park a bit away and walk over, lots of traffic in the area. Was seated right away and given a menu. Service was quick, ordered my usual fresh rolls and pho with everything. Rolls were very good, fresh and loaded with shrimp and pork. Pho was good, nice flavor to the broth and loaded with meat. Looks like almost every other pho place inside, utilitarian and industrial. Enjoyed it and would definitely come back read more

I love pho, and it just happens to be in the area. I've never been here until today and I really liked their broth. It has almost like a sweet lingering taste. The portion is very generous as well. I had the egg rolls, which were delicious and crispy. The place gets pretty packed for lunch and a lot of people also get orders to go, showing that it's a favorite for a lot of people. The service is excellent, super friendly staff and fast to get food out and clean the tables. They're located in a pretty busy plaza, but the food is really good and that's why you can tell people choose to come here. I would like to try the vermicelli and rice next time. Because I'm coming back! read more

The atmosphere of the place is industrial, yet cozy and the staff are pleasant. The Pho is incredible! The beef rib pho was our absolute favorite! It's a giant hunk of meat and a very comforting broth. The meat and noodle portions of all the pho's are also very generous. The only critique I would have would be for the spring rolls to be a bit larger. Overall great place and we'll definitely be coming back!! read more

Wagyu beef served on a sizzling iron plate is a great deal. You would not expect such a high quality beef from a pho restaurant. A special dish created by the chef and sourced from Ranger Cattle. Love it! The pork broth was kind of salty but the side salad was great. read more

Hủ tiếu special is not special when there is no pork belly. Y'all should have what you put in your menu. The broth tastes just salty and water, bland. Phở with rare steak and brisket. Got home with no rare steak. No green onions. Broth has no flavor. Very disappointed. If you don't know any better. read more

The 3x I have been the food is just great. Meats are quality and the produce is fresh. This last time I decided to try something on the lighter side- grilled shrimp and zoodles (zuchini noodles) instead of the vermacelli. They were fresh and a healthy portion. Service is always quick and efficient too. Cute spot to eat it as well, with cool artwork on the walls! Another top reccomendation is the beef short rib and pork egg rolls! read more

If you haven't checked out this local favorite, put it on your list! Always clean and comfortable with staff that always greets you with a smile. LOVE that I can sub any noodle for Zoodles here. I don't know of any other place to get Pho or Vermicelli with a zucchini swap! Meats and veggies are flavorful and broths are perfection. read more

We were excited to try this place and the food looked good...until we saw the bug in the vermicelli. The tea had been good, but we gagged seeing this Lil guy crawling within our near-lunch. The host said he'd inform the kitchen, but...no thanks. The place was packed, so I wonder if like on Oprah, "everybody gets a creepy crawler in their luch!" Or we were the only lucky ones. Done with "Broth and Bugs and Basil." read more

Packed and painfully loud. As a Vietnamese person, flavor matters -- and this missed. Dry noodles were average, side broth had zero depth. Pho's only redeeming part was the beef rib; once that's gone, it's just bland noodle water. Veggies were sad. Meh. read more

My relationship with this restaurant has changed for the better over the years. It went from a place I was just kind of "meh" about to one that I actually get cravings for. Great environment and location and very friendly service here. I realize I actually prefer venturing beyond the pho side of the menu and ordering the vermicelli with choice of protein (the grilled shrimp is a personal fave of mine). It's filling and quite fresh and healthy. Note: this is really best enjoyed at the restaurant as opposed to takeout or delivery. It's just better when it's fresh. read more

As usual, I experienced excellent service, outstanding Pho and comfortable ambiance. My rare steak and brisket Pho was outstanding today. Very lean proteins and very fresh herbs and jalapeños. This is a great neighborhood restaurant. Keep up the great job! Surely a repeater for me. read more

If you follow Texas BBQ you will see that this is the most inexpensive way to have a dino rib. The beef rib pho is heaven on earth and the meat portion is huge (see pics). The bao bun sliders and vegan egg rolls were a delicious addition to our meal. I was super impressed with the pho. That beef rib was tender and delicious. The service was freindly and efficient and the food was very delicious. I love this area and there are many decent restaurants to enjoy. I would definitely return. read more

The restaurant was clean, and I liked the not-too-assuming atmosphere. There's so many options for pho! That's awesome. I got the flank and brisket pho, and the meat and noodles were great. I was not a huge fan of the broth. In my opinion, it was too aromatic and had too many spices in it. It was good, but not my preference. But overall, I'll keep this place in mind and visit again. I'd love to try the spring rolls and vermicelli noodles! read more

I've wanted to try this place forever, so I'm glad I got to check it off my list. We ordered the Pho Beef Rib and Vermicelli with Charbroiled Pork and Pork Egg Roll. Out of the two dishes, we enjoyed the pho more. The pho broth had a more star anise flavor than I liked, but it was still pretty good overall. The star of the dish was the beef rib. Wow! The meat was tender, the flavor was terrific, and it cooked perfectly. I would go back there for that alone. It was a casual setting and there was plenty of seating on the day we went for lunch. The waitress was nice, and the food came out pretty quick. If you're craving Vietnamese food, this will do this trick. read more

Really good pho, and overall a high quality restaurant and experience. A notch above your typical Pho restaurant. My only suggestion would be to consistently allow your patrons to use your Wi-Fi. It seems to be a dead zone for Verizon, and the guy next to me was connected to the WiFi, but when I asked for the password I was told it's private. Good is definitely fantastic though. read more

This place is so very delicious. I seriously love the vermicelli and am so excited they have the charbroiled chicken. It is so tasty!!! The pho is crave-worthy and I appreciate you can sub out for zucchini noodles in their dishes. They also offer beef rib and you can add it to an existing dish or get their beef rib pho. That thing is so tender and flavorful, it's criminal! read more

I decided to try this place while I was in the area. The restaurant has both a front and back entrance, with the L-shaped layout resulting in more tables in the front area compared to the back. Overall, there's a decent amount of seating available. I ordered the Pho with rare meat and brisket. The broth had a slightly sour taste compared to others I've tried. Each diner receives their own plate of herbs and veggies when ordering Pho. However, I don't recommend taking leftover Pho home from here. Despite separating the broth and noodles into two different containers, the broth had a strange taste when reheated at home. The service was prompt and efficient. I was seated quickly, and my order was taken without delay. read more

Reviewing this spot again after 5 years. I can't say much has changed since our first time visiting back then. To say it quickly, the fresh rolls did not taste fresh, the rice paper was either insufficiently soaked or the rolls were sitting out for too long. Just a small detail but they also mistakenly gave us pork instead of shrimp. I was excited to try the bao but that quickly faded on first bite. The bun itself was a bit too chewy and not in a good way. The duck tasted overcooked, I was expecting soft+fattiness but got the exact opposite. The pho is very overrated here (by yelp reviews) in my opinion. The broth lacks depth. I cannot recommend this place over any other pho restaurant that I've been to in the Austin area. Our waiter was very kind, that's the only positive experience I can takeaway from the visit. read more

Broth & Basil - Hu Tieu Special - Noodles Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Craving a good Pho fix, my wife and I tried this place out last night. It is close to our temporary digs, and I had read the reviews to see if we might like it. We arrived around 6:00 pm and the place was packed. We put our name down on a wait list and within 5 minutes we had a table. The decor is minimalist with very cool wall murals. It does have an industrial feel, and the high exposed ceiling causes the ambient noise to be a bit amplified. Our table was a little small (even though it was designed for 2 people) as the condiment tray took up a bit of space. Condiments include Sriracha sauce, Chili sauce (in a squeeze bottle), Hoisin sauce, salt, pepper, chopsticks, forks and spoons. The menu provides plenty of options to include some Wagyu beef options. Intrigued, I ordered the $22 Pho Wagyu and my wife had the $15 Vermicelli Phenominal. Both portions were large. Below is my feedback: - Pho Wagyu (10/10). It was presented with the raw Wagyu beef placed on top of the noodles (I assume so the customer can see the marbling). The server then poured the hot (delicious) broth over the top of the meat and filled the bowl. A plate of bean sprouts, lime wedges, Thai basil, and sliced jalapeños accompanied my Pho. After loading up the bowl with the garnishes I dug in. - Vermicelli Phenomenal (9/10). This dish included vermicelli with char grilled pork and chicken and was accompanied by a pork eggroll. Her dish also included some greens and shredded carrots, crushed peanuts, and a small cup of vermicelli broth (which was a little too sweet for her taste). When the server was pouring my broth, she asked if he would pour some over her vermicelli, which he graciously did. She didn't care for the eggroll as it was a little greasy and the pork was more like a paste than ground pork (what she expected). Bottom line: We will definitely be back for more. we'd like to try some of the other dishes on the menu like the rice options and the Hu Tieu specialty. Do yourself a favor if you're craving some great Pho and stop in for some at Broth & Basil! read more

Visited in-person about a year ago, but wasn't too impressed. However, I recently ordered to go and now I am considering a return with the family for lunch. To go, I ordered their pork chop vermicelli with a pork spring roll. It was so delicious and much better than I remember from my initial visit. I ordered through Door Dash and the delivery was prompt and food was still hot. The order was just as I requested (no onions). From what I recall, the restaurant is very chill and relaxed, and spacious and suitable for the whole family. read more

The vibe inside is modern and cool, definitely attractive for young adults. The pho broth was decent, however the noodles were a bit disappointing. They kept breaking apart as I picked it up with my chopsticks, I ended up maneuvering with my spoon as well. I don't think this would be top of my list if I'm in the area, but maybe the vermicelli could be an option to try next. read more

Amazing prompt service, food is always hot and ready to go. I recommend you start with a serving of spring rolls then followed by the pho w/charbroil ribs, then wash it down with a cool refreshing tall glass of Thai Tea. Broth & Basil never fails to satisfy even the hardiest of appetites. read more

Well what can I say. Rice hot, charbroiled beef horrible. Cold, tough, weird sweet taste. Broth nice and hot. Service, maybe I will let you know when I ask for my check, Ambiance ok I guess. Food use to be really delicious I have no idea what happened. NOT A FAN RIGHT NOW. read more

We stopped in here for the first time. I've seen it listed as one of the better places to get good Pho near home, my wife and I have a favorite place for Pho, it may have just changed. I don't usually "recommend" in my reviews but this time I have to say that I really recommend the dry-rub wings as an appetizer. Wow, they were some of the best wings I've ever had. My wife had the Pho, I tasted the broth and it was delicious. She said it was some of the best she's had too. I ordered the Vermicelli with grilled chicken. Again, it was really good, lots of chicken, noodles and sauce were great. We've driven by this place so many times without stopping in, it's now going to be our destination for Pho, wings and anything else on their menu. Cap this visit off with good service and a friendly staff. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Pflugerville. Fresh, healthy, delicious, and filling. Fast, too. The food is consistent, the wait staff are friendly, and the location is clean. Both my husband and I always get the pho brisket. He orders his with zoodles (zucchini noodles). I order mine w regular noodles. I add siracha and hot oil to mine. Delicious. I always have a little extra left over to take home, too. We would be here more often, but their kids' menu is very basic and has nothing that our kids like. Kids' prices are also very expensive for what they provide. Very plain and very small kids meals. We just don't bring our kiddos when we come here. If you do bring a couple kids, you're best off having them split one adult meal. Both for variety on the plate and for size of their meal. My kids are just not into plain noodles w meat or plain pho. I'm not docking any stars for this shortcoming since the pho is THAT good. If they ever do add some better kid options, we would be able to visit more often. Hopefully, the owners will see this and consider it. If they don't, we will still be back! read more

It's fine. I wish I had more to say but really that's it. I didn't super like this place, but the food was solid. The space was clean and bright, a little crowded. Honestly, it can get packed and this isn't the kind of spot I would consider worth a wait. Don't come hungry because your food will take some time. It's in a small shopping center and the staff is nice enough. If you're already in the area looking for pho you can't go wrong here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Delicious ! I love their Thai green tea. This is my family's go to spot when they come visit!
