Grilled Pork
John B.

We just had the best Bánh Mì sandwiches ever at NG Cafe in Austin (Parmer and 35). Grilled Pork and Pepper Shrimp. The owner, Angie, makes her own bread. She was extremely nice and even gave us 2 pieces of their homemade Sesame Hollow Bread when we left.

This place lives up to the banh mi hype with good pricing you should always order extra Togo for home ! I ordered the grilled pork banh mi, bread was fresh and crispy. Pork was umami bomb with lemongrass notes. I only wished it had more meat. The spring rolls were also in the tiny side. The surprise was the shortbread cookies, I dare you eat try to ear just one! Service is fast casual in a nice modern interior.

NG Cafe is run by a very sweet couple and it is influenced by Viet and Thai cuisine. I got the Vietnamese egg rolls and Bun Cha Ha Noi they were great. The egg rolls were perfectly crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor. The Bun Cha Ha Noi was very unique; the pork cutlets had good texture but maybe could have had more umami. What the pork cutlets lacked was made up in the sauce as well as the rice vermicelli, which is a weakness of mine. Though a little pricey, Ng Cafe provides a nice, cozy atmosphere to chow on your favorite Thai and Viet bites.

Egg Drop Soup
Paige M.

The food: I have ordered takeout here for years but I ordered in and switched it up for a Pork Banh Mi this time. It was delicious. I pulled off the fresh jalapeños but the jalapeño spread eventually added up and overwhelmed me. The soup and lemonade cooled me right down though. The vibe: it had been years since I was last inside and they have really switched to a cafe feel in that time with a more limited menu and different look inside. Overall I liked it and it does differentiate them others in the market. Service: the staff is always friendly and food was on the table super quick.

Pork belly banh mi
Nicolle M.

Highly recommend!! The cafe is super cute and the service is friendly. Some tips when ordering- if you like the taste add pate to your banh mi! It adds so much to the sandwich and its a small add. Also, the shortbread cookies are AMAZING! Grab a box before heading out, you won't regret it!

Singapore noodles
Eddie K.

NG cafe is a decent Vietnamese restaurant in Austin, they offer a variety of dishes (such as fried rice, noodles, etc). I ordered Singapore noodles and it tasted pretty okay, the portion is def on the smaller side. The interior feels hot and I think the AC was not working properly. Parking is widely available but the lot fills up quick, I ended up parking on the other side of the restaurant. Service is decent. Worth trying but probably won't visit again.

Banh mi tofu
Selena N.

A very quaint and cute French Vietnamese cafe vibe. The music and decor are calming and inviting. The staff are kind and very friendly. We got banh mi tofu and banh mi combination. The bread was excellent you can tell it is fresh made daily. My husband felt the meat and pate was lacking a little bit in quantity. The vegetables are incredibly fresh. He said overall not quintessential viet taste but overall very good. I felt the tofu was fried very well and super fresh. We did feel price was a little high but for whatever reason food tends to be higher priced in Austin. A Costco bottle of coconut water is $5! I believe it's a $1 a bottle from Costco directly. Oh also, they give you egg drop soup or hot and sour as an appetizer when you dine in

Menu

This was my first time coming to NG Cafe, and I'm glad we did. From the outside, the restaurant is non-assuming and very low-key, however the inside is bright, spacious, and decorated well. Service was quick. They forgot our matcha latte, but quickly made it once I mentioned it to them. The food was solid. Sandwiches aren't my normal go-to food, but the grilled pork banh mi was a 8/10 good! My wife had the Classic Combo banh mi and said her's was a 9/10 good. If you're in the area and want good food that's quick, definitely consider coming to NG Cafe!

Vietnamese Egg Rolls
Lori H.

We went during a busy lunchtime on Thursday, but the ordering process at the counter went very fast. Since it is open seating, we found an empty table to sit at after ordering. Since it was lunchtime, our meals came with a complimentary soup, which was nice. We got the hot and sour soup, and it was great. It was more on the peppery side, but I loved it. The rest of the meal was good. They offer a wide selection of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai dishes.

Banh Xeo- you take pieces, wrap with lettuce and herbs, and dip
Lisa O.

Ng Cafe is just so perfect Took my family here for my birthday, and we all loved it- we tried a number of house specials and pastries, all 5 stars, no notes! I really think you could order anything on the menu and be happy. The house dumplings were the stand out fave for the kids, I loved my Banh Xeo. They make everything from scratch including the bread and the smells in here are amazing. The ambience is peaceful and the owners are so very kind and lovely. Please check out Ng Cafe!!

Well filtered They have some sweet treats Deff will be going back to try Got the steak banh mi (it was more ground meat then steak) but great flavor Bread more on the chewy side not to much crunch Very generous on the meat portion N made to order Customer Service is wonderful Sweetest ppl behind the counter

Vietnamese Egg Rolls, Tom Kha, Matcha Lemonade alongside
Theron H.

My group and I really enjoyed our food. I tried the Matcha Lemonade alongside the Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Tom Kha Soup. They were quite delicious. The staff was incredibly accommodating, kind, and patient with our large group. The space is also very quaint and nicely decorated with very clean bathrooms.

Are they still in Business? I saw a moving & Storage truck in front of the NG Cafe and Los Chilakillers

As far as I know they are still in business maybe they were working on something

Are there gluten free options?

Do they accept cash? is the Vietenmese Yogurt pretty quick to come out?

I have been here for both lunch and dinner and it is pretty busy during both times, so clearly it is popular. I tried the Pho Please pho and the mi kho dry egg noodles. 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've ordered their sticky rice from here multiple times for takeout. It's nice and savory, features…read moreplenty of processed meat like pork floss and Chinese sausage slices. But it also has egg and scallions and pate; overall the combo is satisfying. Separate from takeout, we decided to go for an early dinner. Their Crab Vermicelli Stir Fry is surprisingly sweet, with sweetness as a prominent flavor. It features plenty of crab bits. I also grabbed a Skillet Combo. It came with two runny side up eggs, pate, two types of cured pork, beef gravy, and a handful of cilantro. The baguette came on the side, as did the mixed salad of lettuce and tomato. The salad had some dried shrimp, fish sauce, and a slightly sweet dressing. The restaurant itself is located in the Chinatown Center on N Lamar. It's a small corner shop. Lots of mirrors and glass. The staff are friendly enough. Unfortunately, they've closed, and it looks like another restaurant will be opening up in its place. The situation leaves me unsure about where to go to satisfy savory sticky rice cravings.

We got a lot of food here and family styled everything. Everything was delicious! The standout dish…read morefor me was the salt and pepper calamari! SOOOO good. Probably the best calamari I've ever had. Great flavor and fresh tasting. Would come back just to get this. Service was just ok - we had a large group and we took up 2 tables that were sitting back to back. The server kept walking back and forth between our 2 tables and kept bumping into my chair/bag which was really annoying me. Other than that, I'd just like to point out that their prices are on the higher side for Viet food. It gave bougie Viet food vibes from the prices, which I thought was unreasonable since the ambiance wasn't anything special or over the top. Probably wouldn't come back unless I was craving their calamari.

This spot is a decent option when your usual go-to places aren't available. It's not somewhere I'd…read morego out of my way for, but it gets the job done if you're craving Vietnamese food and don't have many other choices. The pho is definitely the highlight--it's flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying enough to hit that comfort food craving. You can tell they put some effort into the broth, which is a big plus. 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. Not bad by any means, just not quite on the same level--but still worth considering in a pinch.
