    Egg fu young
    Karlyn K.

    TLDR: Reliable Chinese and Vietnamese spot with generous portions, excellent fried rice, standout egg foo young, friendly service, and fair prices. A great choice for dine in or takeout. We've eaten at Hao Hao several times now, both dine in and takeout, and it has quietly become one of our regular spots. The location is easy to get to with good parking, which already makes it a win. The bright open sign was a smart addition and definitely draws your eye. Inside, the dining room is smaller with limited tables, which actually gives it a more relaxed, quaint feel compared to larger, noisier places. They offer both Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. I am not especially familiar with Vietnamese food, but I enjoy Chinese and have struggled to find a local option we really like. Hao Hao has filled that gap for us. Across multiple visits, we have tried a variety of dishes and have yet to have a bad meal. Somewhat unexpectedly, the fried rice is excellent. It even reheats well, which is not something I usually say about fried rice. This visit was with my parents. It was a little louder than our previous visits, likely because kids were out for the holidays, but still enjoyable. We started with fried dumplings, edamame, and ribs. The dumplings were nicely crisp without being greasy or water logged. I am not a rib person, but my significant other orders them every time, which speaks for itself. I shared the chicken egg foo young with my mother. This is my third time ordering egg foo young here. I usually get the vegetable version, but the chicken was just as good. Not many places serve egg foo young anymore, likely because it is messy and time consuming to make, but it remains one of my favorite dishes. Portions are generous. Two large omelets, plenty of sauce, and lots of fresh mushrooms. My mother's boyfriend ordered the pho and was very positive about it. The portion size alone was impressive. My significant other ordered the shrimp with black pepper salt and talked through the meal about how good it was. Service is table service and the staff have consistently been pleasant and easy to interact with. Food was a bit slow this visit, but that was unusual and they were clearly busy. It did not detract from the experience. Overall, this was another great meal. Reasonably priced, generous portions, and reliable quality. We will absolutely keep coming back.

    Cup of Egg Drop Soup with Crunchy Noodles
    Jerry E.

    First visit, at dinner time on a Friday evening (about 5:30 p.m. I give them a solid 4 for the food, but a 2 for service. I don't have anything negative to say about the server. He was congenial and hustling. But it appeared they didn't have enough staff and they weren't well trained (a management issue). I had to ask separately to get sweet and sout sauce with my egg roll, had to ask a second time for my crunchy noodles, and had to ask separately for soy sauce for my entree. The sense was that the server had to take care of way too many tables. Just too few staff, and insufficient training. The othet negative is that they charge extra for little add ons that most places include. On the other hand, the food was pretty good. I want this place to succeed. I did enjoy everything I ordered. Had Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce, Egg Drop Soup, Crunchy Noodles (that cost extra - most places don't charge for these), and Shrimp and Lobster Sauce. And it was Friday evening rush time. Just need for management to more fully train staff on how to fully take care of customers. I do like the food here. I wish they would improve the othet service related details.

    Good service, great tea and good food. We were seated right away, had immediate service, our drinks were never less than half full. I grew up with Hao Hao in Round Rock and was super excited to see this location. It did not disappoint. We found the restaurant quiet and well decorated. A few people seated at the bar and a few tables filled and we were able to chat easily during our dinner.

    Combo vermicelli bowl
    Lori H.

    As you walk in, the bar overwhelms the restaurant space and did not appear ready for a full bar at the time, seems more like a staff work space? We were sat at the opposite end where most seating is. I'd guess there were a total of 6 booth seating and a few 2 seat tables I couldn't quite remember but not a large space. Lots of stool seating at the bar mentioned at least a dozen+ We started with the pork/shrimp spring roll that were in generously filled with a char siu like pork and good sized shrimp halves served with peanut sauce. Nothing unique to review except the wrap was chewy. Entrees were the Neptune platter and combo vermicelli bowl with pork, chicken, beef and shrimp. The Neptune was ok, it wasn't bad but nothing blew my tastebuds out of the park. The meats in the combo vermicelli bowl were chopped so fine, and minimal that you could not identify what proteins you were actually given in the combo. Their bowls are prepared different somewhat like a stir fry rather than the traditional bowls. The flavor was ok, again, not a home run on any of these dishes to bring us back to this place. Staff were stoic with very little personality that welcomes guests. It's free, use it to your advantage. We still tipped well in hopes that it would bring some smiles to other guests after us

    They are still new so they have work to do. The sauces are very heavy on the entrees. Food could have been warmer. They charge extra for a soup change or fried rice. I try again in a few months if near. Very lovely setting. The serve beer and wine. Tables are very close together. There is a room for private party

    A great Vietnamese food option in the Leander area. Service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is clean and well-organized. I would recommend it for a small or large group.

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Jason C.

    Chicken fried rice was great. Chicken wings were great. Combo lo me in was great. Inside was clean. Music was good. Service was great. Simple as that I highly recommend this place!

    Kim J.

    First time trying this new restaurant, it's a smaller space. They do have bar seating, tables and a few booths. It looked like they carry a few different kinds of beer. The service was great, friendly and super attentive! We ordered the spicy chicken platter that comes with steamed rice (we ordered fried rice), eggroll and a choice of soup. We chose the wonton soup and also ordered a plate of crab wontons. Everything was fresh, hot and tasted great. The spicy chicken wasn't spicy to us. Next time we're going to request, if possible, that they make ours more spicy. We will definitely return.

    Closing at nine isn't super convenient. However, the general tsos was quite tasty. Arguably the best one in the area.

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. I was shocked to see it was a brand new menu. I asked my server about it, and he concurred that it is a new menu, but that the owners had taken many of the former choices off. . 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!!!

I ordered their most popular red braised beef short rib and honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The broth was very bland and I had to put more salt and some soy sauce in it to finish the dish. The meat itself was a mix between tender and dry. Surprised this is considered their most popular... My husband ordered their dan dan noodles with 1/2 spicy and he really enjoyed his dish, but the 1/2 spicy was still too spicy for him. We also ordered their spicy wonton and let's just say, we've had better. The appetizer came with 5 tiny pieces of wonton and again, the flavor is just not there. A bit disappointing to say the least. The only thing I liked was their cucumber salad, but that's a pretty basic appetizer that most taiwanese restaurants have. It's nice that it's complimentary, but that's about it. Overall, it was just an ok for me. We may be back to try something new, but for their most popular dish being meh to me, it's really up in the air. Restaurant had plenty of seats and was pretty clean. Servers were nice and attentive.

    Decent Asian food with a wide variety of options, but nothing to write home about!…read more We stopped by on a Saturday night with a large group and were seated right away. The space is sleek and stylish, and service was fast--though all dishes came out at once instead of being spaced out. Heads up: the egg rolls came four per order, despite the menu and server saying two--so clarify when ordering. Of everything we tried, the Singapore Vermicelli Curry Noodles were the standout. I'd skip the Authentic Red Curry--too watery for my taste. TL;DR: Nice ambiance and quick service, but the food's hit or miss. Great for groups, just manage expectations.

We choose many different dishes off the menu to try and we got the Pad Thai, Vietnamese beef stew (Bo Kho), special pho (Pho đặc biệt), vegetarian pho, shaken beef, short rib pho, etc. Everything tasted authentic and delicious. The food reminded us of home and it was comforting for the cold weather. The service was great as we walked in we were greeted right away and were seated. The food came out fresh and fast.

And honestly it's better than any fancy restaurant out there. I love the amount of plants in the space and the TV plays cooking videos and it's so nice to watch while waiting for your food! Speaking of waiting for your food, the food comes out super quick! Within 1 minute of ordering my drink, it came out! And a couple minutes after follows the food. The service is amazing as well, the servers are super sweet and are very quick to serve you and get what you need. The menu offers a bunch of things, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and the drinks! I love how the desserts and drinks are also Vietnamese (most of the time I notice restaurants tend to have the basic selection of fountain drinks and desserts, but this restaurant has a wide variety of drinks and desserts so you can try something new every time you come here!) Most of all, there's a bunch of vegan dishes which I absolutely love. The food is always delicious I've been trying the vegan dishes recently and I love them a lot (as someone who doesn't like vegan dishes normally)! The chicken pho is also so delicious it tastes better than I make it at home! So much flavor. The drinks are so good as well. They also give you a big portion and I normally have leftovers, but the portion size is amazing for the price that you pay. It's definitely more affordable and such a bang for your buck. This is definitely a spot to try and trust me, you'll probably fall in love! If I was an Austin tourist I would definitely hit up this restaurant. I could go on and on about this restaurant.
