    The pork vermicelli
    Malou T.

    Omg! This is the most horrible Vietnamese food ever. I can't even imagine how they got these 4 star reviews. Service was fair. Beautiful well appointed interiors and very clean. But the biggest problem was the food. We ordered the pork vermicelli and was so disappointed. The pork wasn't seasoned at all and it was very tough and dry. The sauce lacked proper seasoning. Although this place provided various condiments on the table the dish should have already have the Vietnamese taste. The pork should have been barbecued with Vietnamese seasonings. The spring rolls were a very dark color and we were told they were fresh. We decided to cancel that order and got fried egg rolls instead. Unfortunately they too were very bland. So I'm not sure how this place got such a high rating.

    Cute place, friendly staff. They have banh mi, pho, eggrolls and spring rolls as well as vermicelli bowls. I ordered 2 meatball pho with fried tofu added as well as the banh mi fries with a fried egg. The broth in the pho was good, the meatballs were plentiful. The banh mi fries were like a deconstructed banh mi with fries, the bf liked them. Price point was a bit on the high side, plus they forgot my vietnamese coffee. Can't say I'd be in a rush to come back as there are other good pho places that don't cost as much.

    The food here is authentic! They toast your bun mi buns fresh and make your sandwiches fresh. I have been here a few times and enjoy the service as well. Smiling faces and really great service. They have a couple long tables so you can bring a group and eat here. They play good music and I enjoy the pho you can taste the bone broth delicious

    Pretty disappointed. I used to come here years ago before I moved here and it was pretty good, but now it's pretty sad. I ordered round eye pho and egg rolls to go. After tip/tax, it ended up being around $30. Pho was sad. Very small portion for price. Broth was not flavorful at all. Noodles were mushy. Meat was okay. I asked for extra lime and basil in my order which I did not receive. Bag of toppings include bean sprouts, one small lime wedge, and little basil. Egg rolls were good. Just like the pho, the service is also sad! No greetings when I walked in. Asked the girl working as the cashier for extra lime and basil since it was not in my order and was handed another premade bag of toppings. She also rolled her eyes when asked like it was that much of an inconvenience to grab a premade bag from the fridge. Sorry girl, maybe a restaurant job isn't for you if you can't give an ounce of customer service. For an outrageous $30, I would expect better quality and service. Maybe everything is better when dining in, but I don't think I will be returning.

    Pretty good quick service. One star deducted just because I think it was a tad overpriced. For two meals and a small app it was $50.00. A bit pricy given the other Asian and specifically Pho restaurants in the area. Broth was super flavorful, interior was spacious and I was a bit sad to say we were the only customers in there sitting to eat. Is it the best I've been to? No. Is it a solid option? Absolutely!

    This is a single piece of the "beef" pulled from the pho.

    This place is horrible. My wife got the round eye beef and they actually gave her a bowl of cooked fat. We took it up to the front and the girl working the desk said she's never seen "beef" like that either, but it's what the manager or owner told her it was. I took photos to share on here, it's just such a bad experience. Stay away

    Wow. Glad we checked this out while in the r Galleria area. We saw this restaurant on TV as a top…read morerated NY deli. Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average. We split an open face pastrami (which they brought an extra plate) and we are glad we did. The potato salad is tiny. Too much sandwich for one but not enough potato salad for two! The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet. We also had the apple pie alamode. Also pricey and gigantic. It was warm and delicious. Glad we tried this icon. We went at lunch and they get quite the crowd. You are not rushed at all. You can even take some bakery items to go--if you are too full to eat there. Amazing selection of cookies, rugala, black and white cookies and more.

    A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

After meetings we met and had a long lunch sitting outside on one of the two lovely patios. It was comfortable on a beautiful day.

One friend had the Thai steak salad and I had the veggie burger made with quinoa, beets and other vegetables. Wow...is what I will say!!! It was so flavorful and the focaccia bun (not gluten free) was incredible! Plus the double cooked fries were delicious! Oh, the side potato salad and kale salad were also delicious!
