Cute hole-in-the-wall on N Lamar. The turmeric fish rice plate was fantastic, it included some really tasty roast veggies and a little salad of pickled stuff. Just one pork belly bun was more than enough, really generous chunk of meat, and the bun is so soft and pillowy The fermented spicy pork is also worth checking out, great flavor! read more

Placed an order online to pick-up a bahn mi sandwich. It was hot and ready not long after I arrived and I was able to chat with the owner a bit who was passionate about his business and seemed a very nice person. The sandwich was AWESOME. Fair amount of meat, fair heat, great bahn mi topping, great quality meat, great flavor, and good sauces. It's also pretty inexpensive for such a filling lunch. Highly recommend. read more

HEO well overdelivers on quality, price & friendliness! If you've ever spent $10 in a fast food line for lunch, you will feel pretty foolish after eating HEO for the first time. For $10 here, you get a large portion of flavorful Tumeric Fish, a variety of perfectly grilled vegetables, & course cut pickled cucumbers & cabbage. $8 gets you a Banh Mi packed with fresh deliciousness! They also have milk teas, sodas, bao starters & even a small frozen dessert to end on a sweet note. I will never stop talking about what a gem HEO eatery is read more

I really enjoy this place! I found this place when I forgot my lunch at home. Super close to work, so I tried it out. I got the beef rice box. It came with a lot of food! The beef was super tender and flavorful. The rice was great, I absolutely loved all the veggies. I also got the oolong ice tea, and since I am quite the teahead snob, did not expect much. It was very very good. Strong but not bitter or over brewed. Loved it. I think I will be "forgetting" my lunch more often. Can't wait to try more items. read more

I loved my lunch here!!! The owner took my order and recommended the fish and rice with grilled veggies since I was obviously in post workout gear and starving.. I ate every bite it was delicious! I will be going back for the bahn mi! The fish was soooo good! read more

Heo Eatery - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

We found this place because we were getting our drivers licenses, and were amazed at the food. My husband got the chicken confit rice bowl (the best part being the garlic rice) and I got the pork belly bahn mi. Both were delicious as were the sides of grilled vegetables and pickled vegetables that came with the chicken bowl. We also got a side of tater tots that were amazing too. We'll be making special trips over there just so we can eat lunch at Heo! read more

I love this place. This is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. The dishes are slightly upscale but the flavors are very authentic. I've had the tumeric fish, pork belly bao, lemongrass beef, Duck confit banh mi and the pork skewers(nem nuong) and they were all fantastic. They even allow you to replace the rice in the rice plates with excellent seasoned veggies consisting of brussel sprouts, broccoli, beats, and squash. Their pho is also very good when they offer it. Tastes more homemade than the typical MSG filled pho at most restaurants. read more

Love this place, the presentation and food quality is really good and the price point was definitely to my liking. I have tried pretty much everything on the menu (still need to try lemon grass beef) and have enjoyed it all. If y'all got a chance,give the ice pop a try, make sure you get it early because it sells out pretty early. read more

Love this place! Great short stop for awesome Vietnamese food. My favorite is the pork belly bao. You have to get 2 baos to fill you up. My friend got a daily special, a rib rice plate. I tried it. It was very good too. Definitely not your authentic Vietnamese food. But I was happy with my tasty meal. Gonna try their banh mi next time. read more

First time will not be our last time! Delicious and I recommend this relatively new restaurant. The turmeric fish dish is fantastic as was the pork bahn mi. The lemongrass beef was also pretty good. I recommend the yuzu lavender lemonade. Very refreshing. read more

Just dropped there for a quick dinner after haircut. The food is delicious and served quickly. It is very clean and has a modern design inside. read more

Really delicious! The roasted veggies in particular. I'll be back soon to try more items from the menu.

Super good food! Good drinks. Excellent proportions. I'm coming back here many more times

So cute! Love this place. The banh mi's are pricey for traditional pricing but the creativity to the food makes the price bump worth it. We had the ribs, duck, and spicy porks on a stick apps. All delish. Can't wait to come back to try more! read more

Hard to find, tough to beat. Pho was absolutely amazing! Server Rebecca was awesome, very helpful and attentive. Broth was delicious, noodles were perfect. No need to dress pho with with spices or chilies. Everything was delicious. Added treat soda was off brand local which was very good. Highly recommend read more

I don't think this place has any AC.. I came here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch with a group of 9, nobody else was in the restaurant at the time. We ordered our food and each item we ordered came out one by one. Everyone in my group received all of their food except for the people that ordered the pork belly baos. By the time everyone finished the rest of their food, the pork belly buns still did not arrive. The cashier/waitress came over to tell us they had to go get more pork belly so it'd be a while longer?? We waited 30 minutes in the hot and stuffy restaurant until we got them. The food was okay and way overpriced. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Great food , lots of delicious veggies ! Jasmine rice was the star! It was seasoned with lemongrass and garlic . Delicious!

Was in town for work. Needed a quick bite for lunch. When I walked in was immediately greeted, and then offered a walk through their very small menu. I ordered a bahn mi sandwich (I dont recall what I ordered, which is ok since I don't believe I got the one I ordered). It. Was. Delicious. And it came out super fast, I also had their hash browns. Everything was delicious and fast. Was able to get in and out well under 30 minutes! read more

Everyone in my party really enjoyed their food. The pho broth was very flavorful! I'm eager to go back and try the chicken confit rice box. The pickled and roasted veggies (a mix) that come with the rice box are really good. The thai tea was good and strong, not too sweet which is appreciated. I will definitely go back, and recommend it. Also the staff was friendly and the restroom was very clean. read more

Very pleasantly surprised by the taste of their food. I had Turmeric Fish (though the cashier first brought out Lemongrass Beef) and daughter ordered Chicken Confit. Both rice plates were delicious. I also liked the grilled vegetables and seasoned rice. Will return. read more

I eat Vietnamese all the time with my girlfriends' family and if its good enough for her to go to twice in 3 days then it's absolutely spectacular. The duck confit banh mi is fantastic, and the Vietnamese coffee is very very thick and mostly condensed milk, so if you're sensitive to dairy you should avoid it, but if you're not then you should absolutely try it if you want authentic Vietnamese coffee. read more

This place was legit. Started with the bao and fermented pork. Both excellent. Tried the turmeric fish and the lemongrass beef and rice. Also excellent. Huge flavors here and loved the grilled veggie sides. Cool, well executed design and decor. Oh, and the frozen yogurt was a really nice touch. Can't wait to come back. read more

Had the Lemongrass beef rice box. Taste buds rejoiced and i left full and happy. Great place and friendly staff!

Really good Vietnamese food - a great mix between authentic flavors with some fusion aspect. We got the Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi and Tumeric Fish Rice Box. The banh mi was good, but a bit on the pricey side for what it was. But the rice box was excellent. Fish was tender and flavorful, especially the leek and garlic rice it was served with. Definitely would recommend if you're if you're in the area! Oh and the iced coffee was nice and strong and creamy! read more

Great small and cute eatery if you want Vietnamese food! They have Pho, Bahn Mi, Rice Box, and bunch of drink options. The pork belly bahn mi sandwich I had was delicious and there was a lot of flavors as well. It came with potato tots which unique having with the bahn mi sandwich. I would have taken a picture of the food but I didn't have time since I was on a lunch break. I will definitely come back here to eat with my wife to enjoy the other food options on their menu! read more

Amazing food! Great sandwiches and rice boxes! I had the turmeric fish served with roasted veggies, leek rice and marinated (in house) veggies. Delicious! Everything including the teas are made fresh in house. Try the Thai tea. Good prices and top notch cuisine. read more

Heo Eatery - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow this place is sooo good and cheap! We keep trying something new on the menu every time we go and every time we are impressed. I wish they would take over the shitty place next door and expand their menu + restaurant. read more

We've been here twice now. It's a limited menu but The Beef Pho, Lemongrass Beef Bahn Mi, Tumeric Fish Rice Box, Lemongrass Beef Vermicelli Noodles (needed more noodles!) and Bao were all quite good. I'm gluten intolerant and can have about 1/3 the menu. Nice wood accent wall. Very clean. Glad we found this place! read more

Prefacing this review by telling you that I am Vietnamese so I am always up to try a new Vietnamese restaurant in any area. The best way to describe the concept of this restaurant is: Americanized Vietnamese food without sacrificing authentic flavors. This place is family owned. The family is from Central Vietnam and you can really tell by the way they cook. Everything is so fresh, healthy, and delicious. Their roasted veggies that come on the side of their rice dishes are to die for. They definitely take traditional plates and add a twist to it! Every meal here comes with a complimentary home made yogurt. This was a blast from the past from my childhood. The yogurt served exactly like how they sell it in Vietnam. We asked if we can purchase some after and they insisted we take one for the road. I love this place. Prices are amazing as well! read more

Small reasturant but the food can't be nocked. The pork belly is great and at a great price. If your in the neighborhood make an effort to try it out. read more

Turmeric fish rice bowl is incredible! The fish and rice were seasoned perfectly and the roasted vegetables were cooked just right. I might add a little spice next time just to see, but it's a pretty great as is. Great value and extremely friendly staff. I'll be back! read more

Not a diverse menu, but what they do, they do right. The grill items are the best imo. Comes with delicious veggies.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! It's really unassuming from the outside and I would recommend parking in the back because Lamar is no joke. The pho is a miraculous and full of flavor so there is no need for the hoisin sauce or even the siracha. The basil, sprouts and lime was fresh and all the extras I needed to complete this marvelous soup. My hubs got the lemongrass beef and it was so good and large for the price we paid. A warning if your sensitive to heat the lemongrass beef has a kick and it also came with a bunch of roasted veggies that tasted amazing and there was fresh pickles too. My kids got the chicken Bao and it was also really good. I really liked that they had Maine soda but I am particularly fond of their Vietnamese coffee. Can't wait to try their bahn mi next time. read more

Great Vietnamese spot that's a bit isolated but definitely worth the trip. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Must get the turmeric fish box, yummmmmm =) read more

We got the special, Rib rice box. It was really good quality food especially for $10. Ribs were beautifully cooked and well seasoned. They just came right off the bones as they should. The roasted vegetables were really tasty. The pickled vegetables were really great as well. I really enjoyed everything on my plate. I would definitely come back!! read more

Heo Eatery - Turmeric fish rice box - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow, much better than I expected! I had their fish and grilled vegetables, Delicious ! Very fair pricing. We will be back!

Wow! This place is so good!! We're totally addicted to the turmeric fish plate, which comes with really yummy, tasty rice (I know, right?), and roasted vegetables... but we've also eaten their banh mis (comes with cottage fries) and steamed pork belly buns, and they are amazing, too. They also make a lot of different teas which are also really good and refreshing. read more

Heo Eatery - Duck Confit Banh Mi with Turmeric Fish Plate in the background. - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Outrageously good pork belly banh mi. Tater tots were the weakest link. Still worth the 5

My husband and I enjoyed the food at Heo Eatery this evening. The staff was super friendly, and the food arrived fast and fresh to the table. For him - a rice plate special for the day with ribs and for me, the tumeric fish. Plenty of food, and we took leftovers home. Beautiful roasted and pickled vegetables flanked the meat/fish and rice with leeks. A nice touch - frozen yogurt in little bags was served at the end of the meal. We will be back to try the delicious looking bahn mi. read more

Took too long to eat here - if you enjoy and appreciate Vietnamese food please give this a shot - literally writing this on e verge of a food coma - pork belly buns, tumeric fish, special pho and fried whatever the f it is bites - OMFG get on this - lemongrass beef was a little lackluster but everything else was badass - lovely vegetables and rice ....nice change of pace from pho van which is our usual read more
