Pho and a signature banh mi
Steve H.

Nice vibe and friendly staff. Stopped in for lunch. Place was busy before noon (they open at 11, I believe). I ordered some pho and a banh mi sandwich. Both had been excellent. The pho had been listed as spicy on the menu; but my palette didn't detect any heat. Regardless, will be back to sample some other things off their varied menu.

Beef Beef Noodle Soup / Pho Bo

I walked into this establishment on a Sunday afternoon after my local 5K run. I needed carbs and I needed good carbs. I was perusing Yelp when I found this Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered their fine appetizer of fried rolls, which were absolutely amazing especially with that dipping sauce, it was slightly sweet and sour and I rate that five out of five. Their beef noodle soup, a.k.a. beef pho, was so good. They gave a really good portion of thinly sliced beef perfectly cooked in the broth. Broth itself was very rich, tasted as if it was made with years of love and great practice. I added their oyster sauce, and chili sauce, which gave it that extra depth of flavor I was looking for. I was very pleased with this meal. I was very satisfied. It was a very good portion. Service was great. And staff was wonderful. Setting within restaurant has plenty of seating. Conveniently located in downtown Temple. I highly recommend this place and I will be back!

Beef and noodle only pho

The interior is very appealing and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely AMAZING. We recently moved to the area from Houston and have now declared this as our go-to Pho spot. Food, portions, and service was a 10/10 for us.

If you don't dine for one, you're missing out.  #itsbeenahellofayear

I heart this place to infinity and beyond.... It's been hard finding legitimate pho and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Their shaking beef is also a must try. An import from Cali worth keeping! Great family run business. Support local.

Rhey beat out a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the Greater Austin area! **Cha Gio (Imperial Egg Rolls)** These are the authentic Vietnamese egg rolls, wrapped in extra crispy rice paper and served with lettuce, a bit of vermicelli, pickles, herbs, and nuoc mam (fish sauce). The filling is a delicious mix of pork, woodear mushrooms, and glass noodles. You won't find this in Austin! **Fishcake Noodle Soup - Bún Chả Cá** Another dish you won't find in Austin. If you love fish cake like I do, this underrated Vietnamese noodle soup is a must-try. The chicken broth base, simmered with tomato, creates a bowl full of umami. **Bun Thit Nuong** The marinated, thinly sliced meat was absolutely delicious, and the vermicelli and vegetables were incredibly fresh. We spotted the mother (or grandmother) happily cooking in the background while the daughter managed the front. Just a heads-up: there's a sign at the entrance noting that they're understaffed. This is a very small, family-run operation, so be patient.

I love getting take out here. The food is really good, well priced, and seasoned to perfection. The portion sizes are really good. I usually order online and pickup. The process is really smooth. My order is always on time. The wings in the appetizer section of the menu is really good! If you want Vietnamese that is tasty and for a good value, this is your place!

Bún Gà Nướng
Esperanza M.

I've eaten here several times and every time the food was amazing! The service is fast and friendly, and at each encounter the staff really knew a lot about the menu and was able to answer my questions. As far as authentic Vietnamese cuisine goes this is one of the places in Central Texas that I have had the flavor experience that I had while in Vietnam. The imperial rolls are one of my favs for appetizers. And the rice dishes, never disappoint. This restaurant is great for lunch or dinner whether you choose to dine in or do takeout. This is a culinary treat you don't want to miss. Be sure to stop by La Dalat if your looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and a warm friendly environment.

As we entered the restaurant we were immediately warmly greeted by who I think is the owner ( found out she was indeed) !! Ordered at the counter and was a table number: Beef Pho Egg rolls Banh Mi Sandwiches Grilled Pork Bowl Egg Rolls are very crispy with very tasty filling !! Bahn Mi buns made fresh !

Drink: I ordered a large peach and mango fruit tea (no ice,…read more25% sweetness). The flavor itself could've been great, but the sweetness level was shockingly high, more like 100%. If it was made incorrectly, that's fine, but just offer to remake it. It's a $7 drink; the cost to fix it is minimal, and customers remember when you take the time to make something right. Because I requested no ice, the drink also wasn't filled to the top, which felt dismissive considering it was a full-priced order. Unfortunately I cannot drink super cold drinks or food. Seems silly to let a customer walk away with 2 oz shy of a full drink because you usually put ice Service: The staff member was polite when I walked in and even suggested one of their specialty drinks, which I appreciated. However, after I explained that I wanted a simple peach and mango tea and didn't want the specialty item that included strawberry and jellies, she continued to try to steer me toward her suggestion -- saying, "I think you'll like this better." I value recommendations, but once a customer has clearly declined, it's important to respect their preference. After receiving the drink, I realized how overly sweet it was and politely asked if it was truly 25%. I was told it might be because the boba had honey, but having visited hundreds of boba tea places, that alone wouldn't cause such a strong sweetness. I mentioned that I'm pregnant and watching my sugar intake, an opportunity to show care, yet there was no offer to adjust or remake it. When I politely set the drink down and left, there was no follow-up or acknowledgment. I didn't ask for a refund; I simply walked away. If keeping that one cup meant more than keeping a customer, that says something about priorities. Ambiance: Poppa Bear has a cozy café setup with Wi-Fi and a warm, casual vibe. When I visited, a few college students were working quietly on laptops. It's the kind of space that could easily become a community favorite. However, the experience felt like the team was more focused on avoiding loss than creating loyalty. In business, especially hospitality, a small margin for remakes or mistakes is simply part of good operations and it pays back tenfold in customer trust. Overall: Poppa Bear has real potential. The drinks and environment are inviting, but consistent service and responsiveness will determine its long-term success. A little attentiveness and flexibility go a long way in building loyal customers.

This is a very unassuming hole-in-the-wall restaurant that appears to be a repurposed office…read morebuilding. The owner is sooooo sweet and friendly. I thought the pho was very good, and this is very impressive coming from me as I have come to learn that I am very selective in my pho preferences. This was miles better than the pho at the other major Vietnamese restaurant in Temple. My friend who is picky with her pho tasted the broth and really liked it as well. I thought the flavour of the broth and noodles was delicious. I had mentally prepared myself to douse sauce on the noodles if I thought the flavour was too bland, but it turned out to be so good. I got the pho with beef meatball and lean brisket. My friend got two spring rolls and two egg rolls. She loved the spring rolls, especially the peanut sauce they came with. The sauce had such a rich flavour. The egg rolls, on the other hand, were a disappointment. One of them had vegetables, while the other looked odd and only had some kind of meat in it. My friend told me not to try it because she knew I wouldn't like it, but I felt it was necessary to give my honest opinion and more comprehensive review. It had meat that did not taste good and was very hard. It almost felt like they made it by mistake. Even though there was music playing, it felt so quiet in the restaurant. The ambience could be improved, but it was very clean and tidy. You can see that this is a family-owned business with kids' toys outside, which reminds me of the memes that say you know that means the food is going to be good when the owner's kid is in the restaurant. I hope they take their reviews into account because I really want their business to thrive! I will be recommending this place to my friends and will definitely return.

Austin's Vietnamese food scene over the years has been lacking but year after year, more authentic…read morespots are opening and my search for the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant is finally complete. Austin's 100% authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Bun Bo Hue: chewy noodles, fresh big chunks of pork and soft beef. The bowl is made the way I would make it at home, tons of meat. For less than $16, it's the best value to dollar to meal in my opinion more than pho or ramen. It is a bowl full of dark and light spicy flavors of soup. Fresh toppings on top, a big piece of pork blood cake. It's as good as Houston BBH. The banh cuon, man, taste like Vietnam. Fresh fresh fresh rice rolls, not too oily which I appreciate, nice textures of the ground pork which is nicely seasoned, sliced woodear mushrooms, and crispy onions on top. The bean sprouts are nicely steamed and sliced cucumbers add a warranted cooling taste. The nuoc mam for me I want to be saltier, garlic, fish sauce but I can add more spice from the bottles on the table. When you take in a bite of the rice roll, dipped in nuoc mam, it's a taste of Vietnam street food. Plus finish it off with a fresh blanched bean sprout. The price point less than $15 is worth it. Now let's talk about my all time favorite, banh knot. Fried little cakes filled with shrimp, a little bit of coconut milk, green onions and it's a little cup of goodness. Add some nuoc mam and it holds it in the cake. It comes with fresh lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and carrots. Roll it into a little roll, bite into the cake and bite into the vegetable lettuce wrap. It's all time goodness. A 1000% must try. Btw, the dining room and all the utensils are very clean. The plates are also spotless.
