Stopped in here on a whim to try their pho. There weren't many people there when we went but service was still fast. We were greeted and seated. Menus were brought out and so was water when we asked. Prices here are reasonable for the area. The vibe is casual-classy, and they have a cute pun wall of everything you can think of with "pho". Food came out relatively quickly, about 10 minutes. It was delicious, though my rice platter was a bit salty for my liking. The broth of the pho is very good, and Ho's Kitchen will likely become our new spot to grab pho in the area. Overall, a great experience and happy to return here! read more

YUM YUM YUMMM. This is hands down the best pho I've had in the 512. This was a suggestion that matched the reviews. I ordered to go and my order was ready in minutes and waiting for me! Before tasting the pho, I wanted to try the broth by itself to see if it could stand alone or if it needed sauces... whew. This broth is sooo flavorful. This isn't just a basic broth. You can tell they took their time with this. I added a squeeze of lime and basil (not needed) and devoured the pho. Let me also brag about the brisket because I've tasted some dry meat in before however the meat was so moist. You have to try it for yourself to savor what I'm explaining. Wings. These are some meaty wings that took me straight to flavor town! I was surprised the crunch was still there after the commute home. I will for sure make this my go-to pho spot! read more

This meal was PHOtasatic! If you are ready for an amazing authentic Vietnamese soup dish, then Ho's Kitchen should see you soon. Today's bowl was so delicious that not often. Do I pick up the bowl at the end to savor every bit of taste! Just speaks to the completeness of this meal. The spring rolls are filled with shrimp and a thrilling taste of their peanut sauce is unmatched. read more

I reviewed this place a month ago and now have come back for the banh mi, a French-influenced sandwich. It was the best I've had since Lang Van in Arlington. The key is always *fresh* bread and this was superb. The family that runs it only speaks Vietnamese, but the front staff are good about carrying good news back to the kitchen. read more

Ho's Kitchen - Lunch special. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Hello! We have eaten here several times. This particular time we tried the Banh Xeo and the fried chicken wings. In reverse order the friend chicken wings were great and the Banh Xeo split the jury, ranging from very good but not the best I ever had, to "just the way I like it, super crispy!!!" I will post a follow up review of our other visits and the cuisine that we tried. Of note, this is a functional dining experience. Also the service was very friendly and attentive. More to follow. read more

I ordered the beef Pho Tai and the egg rolls from Ho's Kitchen. The egg rolls were absolutely delicious: crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly filling, which I really appreciated. I would have preferred a different sauce to pair with them, but honestly they were still 5 stars on their own. The Pho Tai was just okay for me. The portion of beef was generous, which I liked, but I felt like the broth didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Overall, it was a solid first experience. I'll probably give this spot one more try to see what else they have to offer! read more

First time visit. I had a craving for a Banh Mi, and this would be my wife's first time eating Banh Mi. We ordered two of them, both with no Jalapeno's. Sorry, so hungry that we ate them before I had time to take a picture. They were great. My wife was apprehensive, but became a new fan. I added a little Sriracha to spice mine up a little. I work nearby, so this will be added to my work lunch places. We also had an order of Vietnamese Egg Rolls with fish dipping sauce. I usually don't care much for that sauce, but I loved it. It was a little like the clear Thai dipping sauce that I've sometimes had. A little sweet and acidic with just a little spice. Service was good, friendly and fast. Will be back soon. read more

Ho's Kitchen - Vietnamese Fried Egg Rolls with Dipping Sauce (fresh and hot). - Vietnamese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Solid selection at ho's kitchen when we stopped in for dinner last week! They've recently opened in this new development close to our house by lakeline area and we absolutely love having Vietnamese food options in such close proximity. The kids pho was pretty solid, and hubs rice plate and my vermicelli bowl were both pretty good. The waiter did not get our order right as we ordered a bahn mi to go and we ended up with yet another vermicelli bowl that we had to take to go. We didn't make a big deal but they weren't very on top of service, I had to ask for waters after we ordered to remind them, the check out was swift so I'll give them grace as they're still working out the routine. This place has potential and I hope to see them thrive and kicking off into the groove of things. I do wish there were more veggie options like tofu but everything was still fun and delicious. read more

I have been here a number of times already but this is me actually putting in a review! The pho is pretty good but man.. what keeps me coming back is the chicken wings! I usually don't buy chicken wings at places that don't truly specialize in it but these was smackin' the chili oil and flakes.. geez. I can't get enough of it. The service is good as well! The workers always greet me and take their time getting my order down. I hate that the number isn't logged onto the Google maps so I can call ahead so I just took a picture of the door and call them that way. The first pic is from the very first time I went with a friend - those wings didn't last ten mins read more

The best Vietnamese food in the Austin metro. On point pho broth, the best shrimp rolls, grilled pork rolls, salt and pepper chicken wings. Not loving the rice dishes as much. Finally a good Vietnamese restaurant in Austin area. read more

Excited Ho's Kitchen finally opened up. We stopped by to pick up our to-go order as we were in a rush and could not do a sit down dinner. The restaurant has an outdoor space so I suppose when the weather is nice, they will have outdoor seating available too. In terms of food. Everything we got was pretty good. Flavor of the grilled pork is on point and has a nice charred flavor, as a traditional Vietnamese grill pork should. Grilled pork banh mi sandwich - 4.5/5 there's a nice ratio of meat and pickled veggies and jalapeño to sandwich. Like I mentioned earlier, their grilled pork has good flavor and the meat has a nice chew but not tough. Pho Bac biet- 4/5 I thought they have great and good meat, to noodle and broth ratio. The soup was a little bit salty for us, but was not a problem as we were eating at home and added a little bit of hot water to to balance the saltiness. To go order it came with all the side veggies and sauce. Grilled pork vermicelli - 4.5/5 very refreshing dish. Again, very good grilled pork and a plus that they have good fish sauce to go with the vermicelli mix. Thumbs up for everyone in our family who have tried it. Spoke to the owner and they said they will be making updates to the menu and will be adding more meat options for their banh mi and vermicelli in the upcoming weeks. We will return to try other items on the menu. read more

New Vietnamese place that popped up in our neighborhood and pretty happy about it! It's modern, quiet, yet clearly homey at the same time. Food comes out pretty quick too. Their menu is small, but what they have, they do well. It boils down to effectively 4 categories - [spring] rolls, banh mi, pho, and bun. Proteins are mix and match but the core is the hallmark of most Viet cuisine, so they got all the basics. We tried a large pho (brisket and flank) and a bun bo hue. Broth on both were excellent - pho was clean and not too salty, while the bun bo hue had that funky lemongrass shrimp profile, a bit more pungent than other places I've had it, but not in a bad way by any means. Plenty of noodles in both, with the accompaniment of vegetables to throw in (basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños). The bun bo hue also comes with the more traditional meats - pork knuckle, sliced pork, sausage and pigs blood - so not for the squeamish, but very traditional, which I appreciate. Prices are a bit on the slightly higher side for dinner, but for the quality, will take that instead of having to drive 20 minutes to go anywhere else. read more

The Pho here is very good! We come here once a month at least. We also enjoyed the lunch special that comes with a small pho and sandwich. The sandwich was a little dry and needed a bit more sauce. Other than that the food is outstanding, has a hole in the wall feel to it read more

I had curry fried rice with chicken on the lunch special. It was delicious. And plentiful, they don't seem to skimp on portions just because it's on special. Service was great. The hostess was very patient as I tried to decipher the menu, and checked in twice to ask about quality. The dining area is comfortable and pleasant. I'm sure I'll be back to try the other menu items! read more

Ho's Kitchen Ok! So we went for lunch earlier this week and I got the lunch special (1/2 pho and 1/2 banh mi pork sandwich for $13! Such a great deal, bc both portions were generous. The broth was savory, the noodles were fresh and not too mushy, the jalapeños had the right amount of spice and the lime added good flavor. The sandwich bread was crispy and warm. The pork was crispy and was seasoned well. The toppings were also the right portions. We went tonight for dinner and since the lunch special wasn't available at dinner time we simply split a large pho, banh mi, and a delicious plate of chicken fried rice. The rice was as good as going to a hibachi restaurant. The outdoor seating was also wonderful, as the weather has cooled off. read more

Stopped in to check out the new place. Cute interior with friendly service. I devoured my pork banh mi sandwich and my wife enjoyed her pork vermicelli. We'll have to return to try the pho, but I suspect it will be delicious too. Happy to have this option in the area. . read more

Based on my local city group on FB, I tried this place out. My husband and I both enjoyed it! On a Saturday afternoon, they were quite busy. They only had a couple tables available. Other then the wall art (*which is pretty funny, when you read all the puns--see picture), they need some other artwork, as all white walls around it, looks like it is missing something. The service was spot on. They brought menus as soon as we sat. Unfortunatly their soda machine was not working, so my husband had to get Diet Coke in a can and glass of ice. I had the Iced Tea (not that great, just get water next time). Wish they offered some other choices for appetizers. Maybe some "Banh-Mi" with making from the sandwhich? Also, miss some type of wontons for soup (like pork)? But, otherwise, the food was good. I like the spring rolls more then my husband. The wrap was too chewy for him. But, I knew what to expect and liked the flavor (*was not expecting meatballs in wrap), but loved the peanut sauce served with it! My husban had the "C1" which was the rice and pork plate (*Think they need to serve it in a bowl, like they do with with the vermicilli bowl..saw at next table. It was was hard to mix the meat, vegtables and rice all on plate). I came and got a very delicious bowl (*think I might get the small next time)..of Pho. I got meatballs (not a big fan of, but ok) and rare meat (*but was cooked well in hot broth). Loved all the accompaniments ( Thai basil, bean sprouts, and lime wedge. Gave jalepenos to my husband). Then, of course, already on table was the Hoison sauce. I ate as much of it as I could! I ate all the parts and most of the broth! Great tasting broth! Will come back again! read more

We can't wait to go back to Ho's Kitchen!!! When we walked in we were impressed by how squeaky clean everything was, and the decor was appropriate for the space. I liked the fun chalkboard type wall, and their puns were goofy enough to bring a smile to my kiddos' faces. The service was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and quick. Our food was at our table in a very reasonable time frame, and everything looked perfectly cooked. Our favorite appetizers (that our kids eat as entrees) were the char grilled pork spring rolls, and the egg rolls. The flavors and textures were spot on and delicious. One of our kids begged us to keep ordering more egg rolls - they were perfectly crispy, but not so scalding hot that you couldn't take a bite shortly after you were served. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we were there he tried ordered three orders (6 total) for just himself. The only thing that wasn't a huge hit with our table was the regular pork spring rolls - but they're supposed to have shrimp and we skipped the shrimp. It probably would have been much more flavorful with the shrimp - so that one's on us. But all the sauces all the spring rolls came with were fantastic. My husband got the large meatball pho, while my son got the small rare beef pho. The small would have been plenty for my sized appetite. All the soup components were tasty, but I have to say the broth was the star of the show. It was seasoned beautifully, and left us feeling warm and happy. We're approaching summer in Austin, but don't be surprised if you see me slurping down a hot bowl of pho in ALL types of weather. It was that good. I ordered a bahn mi, and it was honestly my favorite thing at the table. Super reasonably priced, and was a very generous portion. I had all my kids take a bite so they could enjoy what I was so thoroughly enjoying - and they agreed 10/10. The bread was excellent - soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and perfectly toasted to complement the sandwich ingredients. Everything really was stellar. Will order again. And hopefully frequently. As a family of 5, I would say they are reasonably priced for everything we got. Really no complaints here. I think it's safe to say this is our new favorite Vietnamese place in the Austin area. Check them out for yourself!! read more

I got the bun bo hue for lunch and it was really good. I enjoyed the food here. Great service as well

When the bowl's this empty, you know it was that good. Stopped by this pho spot and I'm still thinking about the broth--rich, aromatic, and full of depth. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and every bite was like a warm hug. From the fresh herbs to the tender meat, everything hit the spot. read more

Ho's Kitchen surprised me in the best way. Sometimes you walk into a place skeptical, but leave thinking, "Why haven't I been here more often?" Super easy to find,. Lots of parking, and easy looking decor I ordered the Beef Pho E2, and it absolutely delivered. The balance was spot-on -- rich, savory broth without being heavy, vibrant aromatics, tender meat. It tasted classic but refined, the kind of pho you dream about when you're craving something real. We also tried the Banh Xeo with Shrimp -- and wow, "to die for" is not too strong a phrase. Crispy, flavorful, with a satisfying mix of textures (shrimp, greens, herbs) that made you want to keep going bite after bite. What stood out most was the care behind each dish. The flavors felt intentional, the execution confident. If you're in the mood for Vietnamese done right, Ho's Kitchen is a place you should experience. read more

Honestly I came here not expecting much. It was a hot day in Texas and just wanted pho regardless. To my surprise everything was great. I came in with my expectations kinda low. The service was good. The waitress was nice and came by multiple times to ask if I needed anything which usually doesn't happen at a most places. Anyway. Pho broth was good, it was nice to just chill at for a while and I enjoyed the whole experience. If I'm in the area I'd go back again and would definitely recommend. read more

I room my family here and the experience was amazing! Our waitress was so kind and the service was wonderful. She brought out our food quickly and was SO endearing, and when my sister spilled her drink they were so sweet and understanding. The restaurant was incredible chill and calm, and we all had an amazing time. I really liked the spring rolls, and my fiancé was obsessed with the grilled chicken and rice. Overall a 10/10 experience, I would come back just for the service itself! (I cannot stress enough how wonderful the staff were - they truly went above and beyond.) read more

The vegetarian pho and the spring rolls with tofu were excellent as well as the service and atmosphere! I recommend this place!

the food is good but a little over priced. for example for a small plate (less then 6 pieces) of add on meat it's 6$ the small pho costs 15$. At most other places a large costs 15$ and it has enough meat that I wouldnt have to get extra. And if I did need extra meat it only costs about 3$. But the real shocker was when we ordered Thai tea. We ordered it with light ice and received a cup filled to the top with ice and the actual Thai tea wasnt even filled to the top there was about half an inch of extra space. this means we finished drinking it in about 8 sips. for a 7$ 16 ounce cup of Thai tea to be 8 sips is completely insane. over all the food was okay and the service was ok, but I'm very disappointed in the serving sizes and prices. read more

Finally -- some delicious pho in Cedar Park! The first time we came was on a Friday night and it was pretty busy and the waitstaff was overwhelmed and were running around like crazy. The food was delicious though and worth it to come back. I just went for lunch and got the lunch special of pho and a bahn mi. Both the pho and the banh mi hit hard. Their shrimp spring rolls are so yummy and are also big and actually affordable (opposed to most places charging an arm and a leg for springrolls now). I'm so happy to have discovered this restaurant and I'm sorry it's taken me as long as I have. I'm definitely a fan and will be eating here anytime I have a pho craving now. read more

This new Vietnamese place by my house is really good to eat at and it's always a good recommendation for friend and family but the only gave it 4 stars due to some small thing. 1. I order the chicken wings from them and the flavor was good but I will say not crispy at all and I asked for it to be crispy too. 2. And this is a little on my family fault. We decided to order the food out like phone and stuff and when we go home everything's had already started to get cold and we only live 5 minutes away, but when we got home and started to put the pho together we had some thing missing from the phone like some bag of vegetables and also lines that usually come with it. Overall a good place to get food but recommend eating in house and also the owner is very nice and thankful when you either eat in or take it to got. read more

I'm so happy Ho's kitchen opened in this area! It's now our go-to for vietnamese food as it has been difficult finding a vietnamese restaurant with decent com thit nuong. And the nuoc mam is good!
