    A9. Banh Mi
    Carrie M.

    We had quite a poor experience here. It looks like a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant from the outside, but it is ginormous inside. We walked in at 7pm on a Sunday, and all the tables were empty. It was eerie. The restroom was very dirty. The 3-in-1 cashier/server/cook who had a very couldn't-care-less attitude took our orders at the counter. I ordered the grilled pork banh mi. The bread tasted a little weird, but otherwise it was fine. Tragedy struck when my friend who ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls received spring rolls with only lettuce. I tried it, and it was gross. She informed the 3-in-1 employee, who proceeded to make them again. She brought them to our table, told us that she was "on another planet," and said "at least you get free spring rolls," in reference to the gross lettuce rolls. However, these new spring rolls had shrimp, but no pork. The travesty! Defeated, my friend ate her spring roll as she did not want to ask again for her proper order to be made. She only ate 1 of 2 rolls as it was unpleasant to eat. I wonder what secrets Kim Phung hides, as I wouldn't be surprised if they engage in shady activities. I read a review about how they seemingly impersonate other restaurants on delivery apps.

    Proof that 7601 N Lamar Blvd = Kim Phung restaurant.
    Lindsey L.

    BEWARE!!! I am giving Kim Phung 1 star because they are being dishonest and are impersonating Super Thai Cuisine on both Door Dash and Grubhub. Yesterday, I ordered what I thought was Super Thai Cuisine on Door Dash and paid over $40. My delivery driver then delivered an order from Kim Phung. I tried reporting this to Door Dash but they said a merchant is allowed to name themselves whatever they'd like to on their platform. I think it's dishonest and wrong of Kim Phung to impersonate another establishment (one that nearly has 5 stars) for financial gain. Yelpers, please know that if you try to order Super Thai Cuisine online and you see "7601 N Lamar Blvd" you are getting Kim Phung and not Super Thai!! Go in person and stay off Door Dash and Grubhub! If you look at Kim Phung's other reviews, it looks like in the past they have also impersonated other Austin restaurants. So wrong!!

    H6. Rice Clay Pot House Special A2. Fried Dumplings Jasmine Tea
    Hunter M.

    As I was casually looking at the menu on the wall outside, I see this lady make a beeline for the door. There was no hesitation in her demeanor, this lady knew what she wanted! I stopped her right before she opened the door, I said excuse me is this place any good? She stopped and said "Oh yes it's like the best in this entire area! It's been around like forever, I've been coming here for years". So as we both walk up to the counter to make an order, she already had one waiting for her. She begins to chit chat with the man behind the counter like they knew each other by name, probably cause they did! Proof that she definitely has been coming here for years. At this point I'm like okay, this is definitely going to live up to her hype. So I ordered the Rice Clay Pot House special, cause that sounds different from my usual. There's also no way im leaving without trying the fried dumplings. Everything was amazing! I almost thought there was no rice (was at the bottom), that's how much meat and vegetables they put in my dish! I'm usually more of a fan of steamed dumplings but man these fried dumplings hit the spot as well. I walked out of that restaurant feeling like Buddha. haha The guys working the counter were very nice. There was no one really in the restaurant. It was kind of a ghost town which is surprising cause they had like 30 tables, I guess they have their rushes at certain times. Maybe when it's more busy they have waiters or something but it's kind of like self-serve. This place is worth checking out!

    Overcooked boba
    Omar M.

    Just not a good experience overall. From ordering, to the food presentation, taste, and taro root boba. This particular chicken Chinese dish just didn't look very appetizing nor was the taste up to par. The boba was overcooked and was disintegrating already. Also the corner near the entrance has kids play sets stacked up. Other than that, the restaurant looked clean.

    Terrible representation of a shrimp spring roll.
    Tisha T.

    Quite literally the worst shrimp rolls I've ever had. These are made with iceberg lettuce and bean sprouts. No rice noodles what so ever. Also the shrimp were not deveined. That's just lazy and gross. Also if you're going to upcharge a dollar for shrimp-- there should be more than 2 shrimp, cut in half mind you, per spring roll. Just cheap and disappointing for no reason. Avoid.

    The greenest curry i ever did see
    Grace Y.

    My office is on the block, and there really aren't many food options, so this is a mainstay among me and my colleagues... unfortunately. The Vietnamese food is decent, but please don't stray away from the Vietnamese to their other cuisines. I once ventured out and got their green curry and it was this super unappetizing color of lime green, plus the curry sauce was super sweet and congealed.

    Rice, General Tso's Tofu, Yellow Thai Curry Tofu and veggie egg rolls.
    Rodney W.

    General Tso's Tofu, Yellow Thai Curry Tofu and veggie egg rolls. These are my favorite items to order.

    Jeremy M.

    Is this Nuclear Radiation green curry just for gimmick sake or what? It tastes pretty good. I mean it's got a robust and full flavor for a curry. I'm just worried I'm going to grow a third eye or something. The pork egg rolls were great too. I'll definitely be back. At $15 it's the cheapest chicken curry in Door Dash, too. Also a bonus. (Ignore the salmon in the picture. That was made at home. Haha)

The pho was fine but nothing really stood out. It tasted good enough but did not have that depth or richness that makes you crave pho again. The mi kho dry egg noodles were also pretty mid and honestly lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing and I kept wanting to add more to make it pop. I also got the brown sugar milk tea, which I actually really liked. It was very sweet, which worked for me, but some of my friends thought it was way too sweet for their taste. Definitely something to keep in mind if you prefer lighter drinks. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty fast, which is nice when it is busy.

I can't eat pho without it, so I called the store and was told it was offered but that he must not have heard the employee asking. I tried to eat the pho anyway, and it ended up being one of the worst bowls of pho I've ever had. I'm Vietnamese, so I know what good pho should taste like. The broth was extremely bland and watered down, with no aroma or real pho flavor. Without hoisin sauce it was even worse. I tried adding seasoning to make it taste decent but nothing helped. The noodles were also hard and clumped together in one big chunk. I had to microwave them for about three minutes just to get them to separate. In the end, I gave up and threw away our 2 -$18 bowl of pho. The broth tasted worse than instant pho. Very disappointing. I should have known better than to order pho downtown.

That said, the portions leave a bit to be desired, especially when it comes to the protein. You don't get as much meat as you'd expect, which can make the meal feel a little less filling than it should be. Overall, it's an okay replacement when your favorite spots aren't an option.

Be careful as the soup is extremely hot and the hot stone bowl keeps it that way for a while. You fill the bowl to the brim after adding all the meats and noodles. My only complaint is the noodles. They are fresh and just the right texture... very good! But for some reason the always seem to get cut up after I put them into the bowl.
