We had a hankering for some good Pho, and since this place was close by, we tried it out. We've had…read morePho in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and of course there is nothing like the real thing in Vietnam. The place is relatively small, with about 12 tables. When we got there, we opted for a table along the wall. There was only one other table occupied, so I was happy that it was likely service would be good and fast (which it was). We were seated and provided menus to review and our server brought waters for us right away. The selections on the menu are wide and varied. Not only do they serve Pho and vermicelli dishes. but they also have a variety of fried rice, Chinese dishes (think orange chicken, sesame chicken, etc.). There is a small menu for kids as well. No beer or wine options, so we stuck with the water. We ordered some roast pork spring rolls, my wife ordered the Pho Tai Chin (rare eye round, steak and brisket) and I opted for the Pho Bo Vien (meatball). The spring rolls arrived quickly and were served with a cold peanut sauce. The sauce was not as thick as I've had at other restaurants, but it had decent flavor. The spring rolls were large and stuffed with noodles, lettuce, and roast pork pieces. The pork could have been sliced thinner, and it made for some extra chewing. I suspect they just use the roast pork from the grilled pork vermicelli. Our Pho arrived in large bowls along with a generous condiment plate of cilantro, sliced jalapeños, Thai basil, limes and beansprouts. There was chili crunch, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, and Siracha available on the table as well. I tasted the broth before doctoring it and was a bit disappointed in the lack of real Pho broth flavor. I do make my own using a recipe I got while in Vietnam, and this was nowhere close to what I've made or have been served elsewhere in the past. It was weak, none of the cinnamon or star anise flavors, and I had to load it up with salt, white pepper, a generous amount of chili crunch, and even a bit of Siracha sauce. While it still didn't bring any of the true Pho broth flavor, it did make it more tasty. The bowl had chunks of meatballs, plenty of rice noodles, onion, and once I loaded up on the cilantro, basil, jalapeños, beansprouts and lime, I was ready to dig in. My wife agreed that the broth left a lot to be desired, and she didn't finish hers. She used the Hoisin to dip the meat into as it had little flavor otherwise. I ate most all of my bowl contents, but left most all of the broth (which I usually finish if it is good). Overall the experience was good. The service was great, the prices are comparable to most Pho places these days (I remember when I could get a bowl for $9.00 not too long ago instead of the $16 these days). Will we be back? Probably, but not for the Pho or any of the Chinese and Thai options on the back of the menu. I'd like to give their vermicelli a try. One recommendation: have an option for a smaller Pho serving size. I mentioned it to the server and he indicated that young people like the large servings... OK but what about us older folks that don't eat near the amount we used to. Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 7/10 Value: 8/10

One of us order shrimp fried rice, which came out earlier than the rest. The soups all come out together. I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup. There were only three wontons in the whole bowl--which was a little disappointing. The flavor of the broth was lacking. I used the toppings from one of the Phos that got ordered to razzle dazzle it up a little bit--and some chili oil. Chili oil didnt not pack much heat or depth in flavor. All in all...pretty mediocre. Would check out some other spots before I decide whether or not to return.

01.24.2024 - Banhi Mi Boys - Killeen, Texas - I'm here right now waiting for my order. It's their…read moresoft opening and I bought their Grilled Pork Banh Mi. That's all for now. I took a copy of their menu and sat and waited. Then I later realized that I wanted Patè. It's not on the menu but the ladies at the counter were nice enough to add it with no fuss. I just can't imagine without patè. The menu looks promising. Lots of choices like spring rolls and wings. It looks good. But since this place is named Banh Mi Boys, I'm assuming their sandwiches should be the star of their menu. Let's see! I bought it as take out. So if you want patè, you need to ask. Which is not a problem. I'll continue my review when I take the sandwich home. I'm in a hurry to get home. Took a bite and the bread is actually toasted. The amount of veggies ratio to meat is fine. My preference would be to have more of the pickled veggies. The pickled veggies must've been made in house. It tasted fresh and crunchy. I guess what I'm use to with the California Banh Mi is a little different. I'm use to deep marinade into the meats but this will do for now since it's a soft opening. A bit too charred for me on the meat but then again Texas region they like that sort of stuff in their bbq. So I take into account that the cultural influence in the area. They've added fresh cucumbers, cilantro and jalapenos. Overall they have a nice looking menu. I would probably prefer a little more Patè. The pork meat would been better if it were sliced thinly. I like more veggies. Maybe next time I can say it when I go in for my next round. So far it's good. Im trying to not be overly picky. Been to so many Vietnamese restaurants and Banh mi places, I know what I'm looking for. It's a soft opening so I'll keep my expectations to as it is. It's brand new. I'm looking forward to trying the other stuff on their menu.

I saw an advertisement on Instagram about this spot and really wanted to try it. I gave 3 stars…read morebecause I was so excited about trying this place and I ended up getting disappointed but it's partially my fault because I didn't consume the food while it was fresh. I think it was about an hour before I got to eat it and the fries aren't something you would warm up, if you know what I mean. I was really looking forward to trying this and it just didn't give what it was supposed to, for me. The service was good tho and quick, the young ladies at the front counter were very sweet. The ambiance in the restaurant was very family feel and clean so I can definitely appreciate that, not to mention the artwork on the walls are beautiful. I ordered over the phone and it was quick & efficient. The order was of a steak & egg bahn mi, a char siu bahn mi, an order of Cajun crack fries and steak & egg fries. I enjoyed my char siu bahn mi, I'd give it a 7.5/10 - mainly because my bread buns were a little hard which made it a little hard to chew but it was still delicious. The Cajun crack fries was referred to me by the young lady on the phone and it was good, tho I didn't really eat the fries, I mainly ate the chicken and bacon that was in on it (because I didn't eat it fresh, the heat created some condensation inside the plate and made the fries soggy). I have a feeling that if I had it fresh it would have been better, it's why I gave this review 3 stars. My husband had the steak and eggs and although he did not enjoy it (he didn't like that when he'd bite into the sandwich all the meat would come out), I finished all of his food (lol). The steak was a little tough but I love the egg on it too. I hope to try this place again, another day so I could give it a more justified review. I do recommend this place though.

Austin's Vietnamese food scene over the years has been lacking but year after year, more authentic…read morespots are opening and my search for the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant is finally complete. Austin's 100% authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Bun Bo Hue: chewy noodles, fresh big chunks of pork and soft beef. The bowl is made the way I would make it at home, tons of meat. For less than $16, it's the best value to dollar to meal in my opinion more than pho or ramen. It is a bowl full of dark and light spicy flavors of soup. Fresh toppings on top, a big piece of pork blood cake. It's as good as Houston BBH. The banh cuon, man, taste like Vietnam. Fresh fresh fresh rice rolls, not too oily which I appreciate, nice textures of the ground pork which is nicely seasoned, sliced woodear mushrooms, and crispy onions on top. The bean sprouts are nicely steamed and sliced cucumbers add a warranted cooling taste. The nuoc mam for me I want to be saltier, garlic, fish sauce but I can add more spice from the bottles on the table. When you take in a bite of the rice roll, dipped in nuoc mam, it's a taste of Vietnam street food. Plus finish it off with a fresh blanched bean sprout. The price point less than $15 is worth it. Now let's talk about my all time favorite, banh knot. Fried little cakes filled with shrimp, a little bit of coconut milk, green onions and it's a little cup of goodness. Add some nuoc mam and it holds it in the cake. It comes with fresh lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and carrots. Roll it into a little roll, bite into the cake and bite into the vegetable lettuce wrap. It's all time goodness. A 1000% must try. Btw, the dining room and all the utensils are very clean. The plates are also spotless.

It has been one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants-and one of the only places to serve the Vietnamese pancake that I love. I sat down, getting ready to contemplate the menu.

NO more fried rice-always my grandson's favorite. Although I was disappointed when it was time to order, I chose the Mixed Protein Bun. I requested shrimp and eggrolls. It is a bowl filled with rice noodles, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and your choice of protein. It also comes with a generous portion of fish sauce. After one bite, I knew that the old chef must have left. My food was so bland. To start with, I don't think it was salted at all..... which quite often affects the flavors negatively. There were no other spices or sauce or anything tasty in my bowl. I was very disappointed. I didn't even eat a quarter of the Bun. I didn't take the rest to go and I won't be returning, unless I see that they have returned to their former style of cooking. So I'll definitely be watching the reviews. It makes me very sad to have to write a negative review, especially about a place. I have enjoyed so much in the past!!!
