Unfortunately, this spot wasn't for us. I'm usually pretty easygoing when it comes to pho, but the broth here missed the mark. It was very dark and tasted heavily salted, without the traditional pho aroma and depth that I usually look for. I ended up not being able to finish my bowl. My husband ordered the duck noodle soup, and while the broth was a bit better, the duck itself was tough and had a slight funk to it. Between the two dishes, neither of us finished our meals. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and this probably isn't a spot we'd come back to. read more

4/5 4/5 Stars I enjoyed my experience at Mi Con Bistro. The pho was flavorful, and the spring rolls were fresh and well-made. The food was good overall, and I'd recommend both dishes. The main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I came across a review mentioning a roach, which has made me hesitant about returning. While I didn't personally experience any cleanliness issues during my visit, it was enough to give me some pause. Overall, the food was enjoyable, and the pho and spring rolls are worth trying. read more

Love this place. My go-to Vietnamese spot in Austin. The pho is great, and so is everything else. Possibly the best Bo Luc Lac I've had anywhere. The Viet Coco Curry is a sleeper hit. You can't really ask for more. read more

Eh. It was okay. We eat Vietnamese a lot. Like a LOT. So I may be a tough sell. Edamame was fine. Just had table salt on it. Eggrolls: fine Vermicelli bowl: meat was a little chewy, but the veg was fresh. Chili oil: not spicy or too flavorful. Pho: broth was good! And a nice portion. Service: lovely and felt like home. Overall: it was easy and fed us. Would I travel for it? No. Would I go back when I'm hungry and I'm a block away? Yes. read more

First off carrots in egg drop soup should be a criminal offense. All I could taste were the carrots, had to trash it. The egg foo young had some weird ass watery sweet gravy that really pissed me off as well. They don't include any condiments or utensils (thank goodness I was home and had some amino acid) definitely won't be back here unless I prepare the gravy myself and just don't feel like making the egg foo young. The stars are for the fast service, portions and price. read more

I was blown away by this dish!! I'm not sure if it's a traditional item or region specific in vietnam but I've never had it before. It was basically like a chicken stew. If you know what Singaporean laksa is, this dish really reminded me of it. The soup was rich, flavorful, sweet, but specifically savory. It was be great paired with some French baguette as well. I didn't particularly like the soft chicken in it but that's a personal preference. There were no bone or tendon/ligament pieces although it was very obviously cooked with chicken thighs. The service was impeccable. They are polite and prompt. Clean without the scent and ambiance it straight to the point! Would recommend for a casual meal or date night? Or even a work day lunch break. I really enjoyed it and will have a tough time deciding between this dish and the other unique ones not frequently seen down in Vietnamese restaurants in this area!! read more

Another great experience from Me Con Bistro. These (photo) are the best spring rolls I've ever had. They are grilled shrimp. The presentation was excellent, the service was great, the dining room looked very clean, nice, and inviting (I picked up to go). The spring rolls were so lovely, I had to snap a photo. I also had the Basil Fried Rice with tofu and broccoli. Everything was delicious! read more

Having explored multiple Vietnamese restaurants in Austin, I've found my go-to places for pho and a few other dishes. However, I've been on a hunt for a spot that serves traditional Cơm Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese Grilled Pork with rice)--and I'm happy to say, I may have found the one in Austin. I'm pretty particular about what I want at restaurants. While I enjoy a good banh mi taco every now and then, I primarily crave something more traditional that reminds me of my childhood. Me Con fits the bill perfectly. The space is clean and modern, and the server actually understood the given Vietnamese names for the dishes I was ordering--a rare and appreciated touch. While the reviews on Yelp don't do the pho justice, the rice dishes are what won me over. Don't skip adding an egg on the Grilled Pork with rice, it's the perfect finishing touch. I also had the Me Con Fried Rice, which comes with Chinese sausage & Char Siu pork. The flavors were spot-on, though I wish the pieces of sausage and pork were larger. Overall, I'm thrilled to have found Me Con and will definitely be coming back. I'm as happy as a clam! read more

This is a hidden gem nestled into a strip mall. Do not be tempted by the Taco Bell in front of it, far better things lie ahead. The decor and location may be unassuming, but the lack of grandour is made up for in the authentic flavors of the food. The Hong Kong Noodles are absolutely noodles are absolutely delicious. I could honestly have the chicken pho broth by itself and be perfectly happy with my lunch selection. The Me Con fried rice was a healthy portion and was just so good. We will definitely be coming back! read more

We tried this restaurant first the first time last week. We finally had some fall-like weather and wanted pho! The potstickers were 5 stars! SO good!! Some of the best I've had. So fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to get them again. The pho was 4 stars. Your typical pho but as soon as the warm broth hits the noodles and protein it gets cold fast. The flavors are all there. U the option of getting free "extras". That's a bonus! You just need to reheat once you combine everything. I ordered online and picking up to-go. The restaurants seems small but they were busy at lunch time. The employees seemed friendly during my little time there. I can't wait to try this restaurant again! read more

It's rare that I find something. I don't like here. My favorite thing on the menu is the pork vermicelli bowl. Delicious fish sauce. Also, their spring rolls come with a little crunchy wonton in it, which is a nice little touch. And if you're looking for something to be made quickly, they tend to be very fast. I can order something to go and it's never longer than 10 to 15 minutes during lunch hours. read more

This place has the best Vietnamese food in all of the hill country. Even thought the picture I am going to post is a Chinese dish. But the vermicelli is a 10/10 along with the Saigon egg rolls. I never have to wait longer than 10 months for my food. The staff is very attentive and on point with service. My son enjoys the fish tank as we walk in he restaurant that has a great view of William cannon. read more

Came here to satisfy my Vietnamese food craving. The interior is clean, simple and cozy. There are QR codes all over the restaurant to view the menu. I had done my research ahead of time.

Both were delicious and quite filling. I'll definitely visit again when craving egg rolls! read more

We were actually on the way to a different restaurant because my kiddo was interested in getting a vermicelli bowl when my wife saw the sign for Me Con. We decided it was closer and we'd try it out. The service was great. The waiter was very nice and super helpful. I always ask what the specialty is of the house and he responded with "most people enjoy the...." So we ordered a vermicelli bowl, crab Rangoon and a General's Chicken so we could have a little variety sample on the table. The crab Rangoon had a nice crisp and a delicious flavor. The General's chicken was mine. A solid and tasty option. Nothing really special or spicy about it so I added the chili... but it was... fine. The vermicelli bowl was pretty tasty. The chili/fish oil was delicious. The noodles seemed a little thick, but the consistency and flavor was there. To each their own. Nice and clean atmosphere and really pleasant folks working there. I will likely be back. Good basic Pan Asian faire. read more

I ordered pho and vermicelli bowls for the executives I work with and they all loved it. This was different from where we normally order pho, and now I think we'll order from Me Con Bistro (via UberEats). The order was hot when received which is always risky when you order via a third party. The spring rolls were great, too. Also something that was a huge plus for me -- each pho that I ordered came with its own separate bag of add-on's (jalapeño slices, lime, hoisin, sriracha and bean sprouts). At other pho places, they just throw all the add-ons in one bag, making it so everyone has to split what is in one bag for several bowls (and it is never enough for everyone). This was much easier for everyone! read more

Some things about this restaurant were quite positive! The staff is friendly and attentive. Service is quick. Prices are quite reasonable. The food was just ok. I had their chicken pho. It was, shall I say... the most westernized bowl of pho I've ever had. It wasn't bad really, just boring-- missing the complexity and depth of traditional Vietnamese flavors. Kinda just a chicken soup that happens to have rice noodles and the pho accompaniments like jalapenos, basil, and bean sprouts. It might serve well as a gentle introduction to Vietnamese cuisine, but purists will probably find it disappointing. read more

When is a "bun" actually a noodle? In Vietnamese cuisine, of course. "Bun" is the word for vermicelli rice noodles, thin strands that support a wide variety of fresh veggies, pickles, crispy fried spring rolls, toasted peanuts, and tangy sauce. Me Con Bistro takes out all the guesswork by offering the a plant-based version by the name of Vegan 512, adding tender seitan into the mix, too. It's an all-in-one bowl of savory goodness that never fails. Between all the textures, flavors, and colors, it's satisfying on every level. Maybe it would be even prettier plated in the restaurant, but even the to-go box isn't bad looking. read more

Great value and I will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Eh. I live less than a mile from this place, but I rarely come here-only when I REALLY want Chinese food and I don't want to travel any further. It does tend to get dirty (they don't clean often enough), and the food is mediocre. If you want cheap Chinese, go to Panda. If you want good Chinese, go up North or go elsewhere. Takeout is quick, which is the only reason I come here occasionally. Ambiance is quite boring. read more

My go to restaurant for a comfort meal. I love is so much, staff is always amazing too.

Didn't try the food but the Vietnamese iced coffee is delightful! I've ordered to go and the staff has been very friendly. The best part is they don't put ice in the cup and pour a couple sips of liquid bc the cup is filled with ice. The have pre poured coffee that is chilled and The add ice to it! Last time I asked to add just a little ice since the drink was already cold. Perfect!!! When you have your Vietnamese ice coffee craving I would suggest this place! read more

First thing I noticed at this place was that it looked different than most Pho places I've been to. They really put a lot of effort into the aesthetics of this place! the bathroom was so clean, I swear the sink and toilet were almost a glowing white. The tables also look really cool! The Phở was pretty good as well, portion was perfect and well thought out, i did not feel it was too much not too little. The quality of the meat was great and the temperature of the broth was spot on. I felt that the noodles were not over cooked like I noticed in some places. The chả giò was delicious!, the sauce it came with didn't seem to be the usual sauce, and I always like to try new things - I believe it was sweet and spicy if my memory serves me right. A lot of attention to detail at this place - sadly because of the name it does not always show up in "pho" searches on map apps - so definitely put it on your Pho restaurant bucket list to try out when you are in the area! mẹ con means mother and daughter and as you might expect it's run by a mother and a daughter - I haven't met them but the waitress mentioned them - which I think is a great name - there are so many pho this and pho that for names so definitely gets some points for creativity! read more

This is one of my family's favorite go-to restaurants in South Austin! It is casual, the food is delicious and quick (I get the bun with a pot of green tea, my kids get the pho, dumplings and egg drop soup), and service is friendly and hospitable.
