    No Meat Pho
    Teri K.

    authentic and fresh! I was craving Vietnamese food today and found this place nearby on yelp. I started with brisket Bao buns, which were sitting on a perfect smear of hoisin sauce and crisp vegetables. The buns are quite filling so I was pleased to see No Meat Pho on the menu (just broth, noodles and fixings.) the beef broth is so flavorful and was served steaming hot. I did have room for more protein so I ordered a side of chicken, which was excellent and you could taste the charcoal from the grill. Everything was very fresh. The service was very friendly and the ambience was relaxing. Very clean inside as well. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

    Pad Thai

    10 out 10. From the service to the food, I had a phenomenal experience. The inside was pristine, surpassing our expectations considering the surrounding area. We started with the crab rangoons, fried dumplings, and pork egg rolls, all of which met our expectations. For my main, I had the pad thai with chicken. The noodles were perfectly chewy and saucy, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Delicious dish all around. Additionally, I had a fresh limeade to pair with my meal, and fresh it was! None of that concentrated premade lime flavor. It was perfectly sweet & limey, without being bitter. This meal revived me after a night of dancing and drinking. I would absolutely come here again!

    I came in on a Sunday night on a whim. Food was very affordable and I liked that they had a lot of side options as someone who doesn't usually finish full servings. Everything came out in a timely manner and service was kind. The restaurant is small and a bit hidden in a shopping center but I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to come back.

    Overall: 3.1/5 [Postmates Delivery] Vermicelli Grilled Meats Choices ($15.56): The vermicelli was hard and tasted old, and they didn't even use the correct type of noodle. The meat and nước mắm sauce also lacked flavor. Braised Pork Belly & Egg ($16.84): We opted for no noodles and added steamed veggies instead. The pork belly and broth were pretty good, but the eggs were just okay, and they only included one or two. It came with plenty of braised broth, which I saved to use as a marinade. Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($6.71): Very sweet, with a strong condensed milk flavor. Best to let the ice melt a bit. Side Beef Broth ($4.88): The broth was decent but not the best we've had. However, the packaging was concerning--they poured boiling hot broth into a Styrofoam cup, which doesn't seem safe from a health standpoint.

    First time in at Het Say and I have to say I'll be coming back soon. The Bo Koh was a 10/10 with a secret dipping sauce on the side (salt and pepper sour sauce) FANTASTIC. fantastic friendly service and everyone who sat down after us felt like part of the neighborhood. What a great experience. Do come and bring your friends and family.

    Chicken Pho (Pho Ga)
    Danielle D.

    We were in the mood for some Pho and decided to try this spot (new to us) on our way home to South Austin from downtown. The space itself was in a strip mall - plenty of tables but no AC so even though it's November we all know it is NOT cool yet here in Austin. So a hot, humid restaurant plus hot Pho was not a great combo. The dishes were priced competitively and the two pho bowls we ordered came out incredibly fast. I had the chicken pho and my hubs had some kind of beef stew. The beef was FAR better than my chicken. The broth had more depth and the beef was tender and flavored nicely. The chicken pho was bland - the chicken itself rather dry despite being in soup, and the added steamed veg were actually just tossed into the soup raw so not actually cooked in anyway. The raw veg mix consisted of a lot of bad base of cabbage so not really edible for the extra $3.75. Overall, it's not a place we'd return to - our local pho spot in Southpark meadows is way better.

    We stopped by Het Say Vietnamese Kitchen and tried the pho, pork egg rolls, limeade, and lime soda. The lime soda tasted like a bubbly version of the limeade--refreshing and fun! The pho broth was rich and flavorful--definitely the highlight of the meal. The pork egg rolls, while crispy, were a bit underwhelming in flavor. Overall, a solid spot for pho and drinks, with a few menu items that could use a little extra punch.

    Beef Pho (top), Combination Pho (down)

    Checked out this Vietnamese restaurant near our neighborhood and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! We shared an order of the Chicken Wings appetizer (4 pieces) and enjoyed the sweet and tangy sauce that was used to sauté the wings, especially the generous amount of cooked white onions that were also covered in the sauce. That being said, I did wish that the wings were made crispier. As for the combination pho bowl I ordered, the broth was light and flavorful, yet not too salty. They gave a generous portion of both the meats and the noodles, and I'd say the ratio between the two was well-balanced. I would definitely come back to this small family-owned business for my next Vietnamese cuisine craving!

    I finally tried Het Sey, and while the service was excellent, the food itself fell flat. The pho and spring rolls looked promising, but the flavors just didn't deliver--lacking the depth and richness I expect. Given the prices, I know there's better, more flavorful Vietnamese food to be found in Austin. Decent, but not a place I'd rush back to.

    Fried Pork Egg Rolls (2 pcs)
    Hong M.

    After flying back into town late morning my husband and I headed to our favorite phó spot but they weren't open yet so I searched Yelp and found that HSVK was open nearby. We drove over and got seated right away. We ordered the Brisket Phó, Grilled Pork Banh Mi and Egg Rolls. The egg rolls were small but packed with good flavor which was enhanced by the accompanying fish sauce. Phó was good with plenty of noodles and broth and the brisket was nice and lean. The banh mi was excellent! The bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. The pork was tender and tasty. I would have liked more pickled veggies -- I'll remember to request next time. I deducted a star for service, which was fine up to the point our food was served. There were only two other parties dining in and once everyone was served, the staff seemed to be busy behind the counter. No one ever came back by to offer a beverage refill or ask if we needed anything. Once we were done, we had to go to the counter to close out our bill. Otherwise, everything was good and we'd return, especially for that Banh Mi.

    Vermicelli (Grilled Meats)
    Michael C.

    Great service despite a third party issue: This was an uber eats order that was placed and then clicking around, boom order cancelled what the heck. Uber was no help to the issue. I went in and pickup up the order even being sick. Thumbs up for service to the restaurant for helping out. The food was amazing. The pho was very very flavorful to eat. I must say that the pho order has a good flavor to the mix. The vermicelli could be better as it was a bit overseased.

I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

It gave bougie Viet food vibes from the prices, which I thought was unreasonable since the ambiance wasn't anything special or over the top.
