Crispy Orange Chicken (V)
Taylor G.

I tried Fire Bowl Cafe while out shopping today, and it was good! I had the crispy orange chicken with fried rice - as advertised, the chicken was very crispy which I really liked! The fried rice was okay, they added a lot of edamame and carrots to the fried rice, which I think would have been better if they took some of that out, my bowl had a ton of these, and they weren't great. The egg roll was also okay, not the best I've tried but still pretty good! The service I received was amazing! They are very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating available. Overall I had a good experience here, the food was good just not the best I've had here in Austin!

Fire Bowl Cafe has always been a standby for me when I was fast and tasty Chinese. I've always ordered their General Tso Chicken which never disappoints. The chicken is always crispy, the sauce sweet and flavorful, the broccoli fresh and crunchy, and the rice perfectly cooked. This place is wonderful for take out or for a quick meal. The staff is extremely kind and helpful and the restaurant itself is clean and cozy.

I ordered spring rolls and hot and sour soup, to-go. I ate them 10 minutes later. Spring rolls had good ingredients but fell apart in the container and I had to eat everything individually. No sauce was provided despite the menu saying "served with sauce." I had to make some with resources at my office. Hot and sour soup had good flavor but seemed watered down. Do not recommend unless you want something healthy, fast and you feel like being resourceful for what's left out.

This place will always be a 5 star visit! Miguel Lomeli took my order, so pleasant, nice and most of all respectful. Always have a warm welcome when here. Thank you Miguel!

It was good. They got my wife's order wrong but we were chill about it and made the best of the meal she had.

It was alright and exactly what you'd expect from one of these places. It definitely is an easy quick bite though.

However, upon opening the front door I was met with beautiful fine dining ambience: exotic ceramic-tiled walls, cherry-finished wicker furniture cushioned with satin pillows, and of course the enormous golden cherub statue in the center of the room which delicately sprayed chicken tortilla soup into the Venice-like channels that crosshatched the restaurant. A hostess in a gondola rowed us to our table singing a song in another language (maybe Italian?) before letting us know that the Soup Man would be with us shortly as he was very busy today. The warning was unwarranted though, as the Soup Man shortly thereafter appeared at our table addressing, us by name and apologizing that the hostess didn't realize what esteemed guests we were. Bashfully I stammered that he must have me confused with someone else as I'd never been to this establishment before, but he softly shook his head and with a smile said, "I know all who live within this city." and pulled a steaming bowl of turkish wedding soup (my favorite!) from behind my ear as if to prove his point. Overall it was a wonderful experience! I am docking it one star because they were out of oyster crackers to crumble on my soup. Will be back!

We loved the Soup Peddler and would go back again to try their other menu items (it's a large menu and you are sure to find more than a few things to your liking)!

They were giving out free smoothie samples with three options: mango OJ, strawberry & banana, and banana PB. Their smoothies aren't very sweet and overall pretty basic. The mango & orange one was too icy, so it was hard to sip. The banana & peanut butter mostly tasted like peanut butter, but it wasn't too thick, which I liked. They also let you spin a wheel for a prize which was fun. Parking can be difficult during rush hour so I recommend ordering for take out. My parents bought an 8 oz cup of the chicken soup with rice. It was actually really good and packed with ingredients. It's something I would gladly eat on a cold winter day. I definitely liked their soups a lot more than their smoothies.

The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.

Soup is flavorful and they are generous with their steak and tendon portions. We will be back to try some more items on the menu.
