    Banh mi
    Alan H.

    Decent Vietnamese food but not traditional but worth a try. We order banh mi with grilled pork with spring roll. The banh mi doesn't come with traditional mayo or pickled veggies, instead it comes with pan fried peppers and onions. It's kinda more like a Philly cheesesteak minus the cheese. The best part of the meal was the fries! The spring roll was really good the meat had a Smokey flavor to it. I highly recommend the spring roll. We also ordered a brisket pho the broth is so good, noodles a bit hard and not so fresh. Overall good but giving me lemons instead of limes with my pho should be a crime. The service was quick and friendly. And the ambiance is filled with a ridiculous amount of alcohol!

    Veggie Spring Roll

    I recently tried Old Saigon Vietnamese Bistro on a beautiful, chilly morning and went there for lunch with a friend. They offer a lunch menu that includes one spring roll and a choice of one main course for $18. While I found it a bit pricey, the food was delicious and well prepared. We ordered the veggie spring roll and veg pho, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. I was especially happy to see that they have many good vegetarian options, which is not always easy to find. Given that there are limited good dining options within Steiner, this place is very convenient. A nice touch at the end of the meal was their complimentary spoon brûlée, which was a pleasant surprise and a great way to finish lunch. Old Saigon Vietnamese Bistro is a lovely spot if you're craving comforting, flavorful Vietnamese food. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place for both a relaxed meal and a casual outing with family. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try more dishes next time.

    Chicken Curry

    5 stars for the Pho alone. The Pho was flavorful and savory. It was very much like the ones we had in Vietnam. The portion is massive with plenty of noodles and beef. The chicken curry was also tasty. Service was very friendly.

    I love this place because the staff is so friendly. Everyone greeted us when we walked in and the hostess seemed interested in asking about our day. For dinner we had their fried egg rolls and the shaken beef, which seems to be one of their specialties. It was very flavorful and delicious! Then on the way out we got a nice little bottle of wine as a gift for being new customers! We definitely will come back when we're in the area.

    The friendliest staff and owner. We had shaken beef and it was so tender and delicious. Presentation was beautiful. Their egg rolls were also super tasty and full of meat! The place is cute and has an aquarium in the back. If we lived closer, we'd be here a lot!

    AMAZING place!! Been one of my solid choices for great quality food in the Steiner ranch area. I love it here and the service is always top notch! It's a family run business and the place is always so beautifully decorated! I always feel so welcomed here and taken care of like family. Highly recommend!

    Shaken Chicken Wok
    Joshua A.

    Probably the best Vietnamese food we've ever had! My wife and I went in for dinner tonight and were incredibly impressed with both the atmosphere and the food. We got shrimp spring rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious! For our meals, my wife ordered the shrimp vermicelli and I ordered the shaken chicken wok. From the moment the food hit our mouths, we were in heaven! The sauce on the shaken chicken wok was smokey with a slight sweet taste. My wife mentioned this is probably the best vermicelli she's ever had even outside of New York City. Afterwards, we were offered their crème brûlée. To say it instantly melted in our mouths would be an understatement. It was perfectly cooked with a slight crunchy glaze. The atmosphere inside was calming and beautiful. Soft, soothing music accompanied the stunning visuals of each of the hand, painted murals. Don't forget to check out the outside koi pond! I simply cannot express how amazing Old Saigon is! Both Liem and Jen, along with their children Chrissy and Alex, and staff have done an incredible job with this new edition to the Steiner food community!

    Duck Curry
    Karen S.

    Great vibe with comfy booths. Last night I shared the Beef Lemongrass (plenty for two). Tonight I had the Duck Curry. Not very spicy with red peppers and delicious grilled pineapple! Both nights the meal ended with a surprise taste of complimentary Crème Brûlée. Perfect restaurant for a family gathering or birthday dinner!

    Shaken Beef
    Rich C.

    Family owned and they definitely thought of everything from ambiance to fresh flavorful food! Loved the plants, fish tank and calm background music. Easy place for conversation, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. They went out of their way for our peanut allergy and surprised us with a taste of their creme brûlée. Ordered the crab spring rolls, Shaken Beef and specialty Pho. All excellent and had plenty extra to take home! Will definitely come back and look forward to trying more of their dishes! A true gem nestled in the middle of Steiner Ranch neighborhood.

Parking can be difficult but not an issue if you just wait a bit for a grocery shopper. Time to Order: 5 minutes for appetizers, 12 minutes for dumplings and soups Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings: 5/5 still fantastic Black Fungus with Onions: Nice and light, like a little salad with pickled vegetables. Nice and crispy. The good old Hot Spicy Stew #25: 5/5 still incredibly filling and they're so generous with meats! I keep forgetting to ask for swapping the glass noodles with their regular hand pulled noodles, would do that. Friends had other noodle soups and enjoyed them all, as I thought.

There were water, bowls, utensils, and sauces in the lobby for anyone to grab, which was nice. We ordered their cucumber salad, beef noodle soup, and lamb noodle soup. Cucumber salad was 2/5. It wasn't the authentic smashed cucumber salad, the flavor was missing something, and I mean, for $7 or $8, you would think it would be amazing....it's not. Pretty disappointing, I'd much rather have my sister's over these. Beef noodle soup was meh. Nothing special. Broth was very simple, like they just added salt and that's it. Meat was cooked very well. My soup came with 1 piece of lettuce, weird.. Lamb noodle soup was the same as the beef noodle soup; it did come with the black fungus, seaweed, tofu, and some vermicelli clear noodles, along with their handmade noodles. Made sense why it was only $13.95 for the noodle soups. It's reasonably priced probably due to not being authentic, though, I wouldn't pay more than $10. They had handmade noodles, which many people do like. However, their noodles were very bland, along with their soup. I didn't find anything special here either. Maybe I'll get their dumplings or fried noodles the next time we come, but it's a no for me.

    Having grown up in a household where dumpling making and preparation were treated as a meditation…read moreon perfection, I've been incredibly pleased to see Austin seriously upping its dumpling game. While I've yet to find a Korean joint with a proper Korean mandoo on offer, Chinese varieties are thriving with the likes of Julie's Noodles, Steamies, Lin's and, the subject of my review, Dumpling World. Definitely don't expect ambiance here. After suffering the Triangle's persistent lack of parking, you'll walk into this place and find a really spare, almost utilitarian set up that screams "we mean business." They definitely mean business. I've probably been here a good 5-6 times, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Soup dumplings shine -- my daughter refuses to eat them anywhere else -- and their recently introduced thumb buns, which I think are fried mini soup dumplings, just ooze flavor. More traditional half-moon dumplings, no matter your filling of choice, steamed or fried, never disappoint. Don't ignore the non-dumpling items too. I don't know what the seasoning is in their green beans, but it's ridiculously delicious. You'll never look at green beans or haricot vert the same way ever again. Good, but unremarkable, are the soups and stews. Better to get those at other Chinese eateries. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from those, but did you really come to a place called Dumpling World to eat anything but dumplings? It gets crowded here at times so I recommend trying on a weekday evening. Uniformly, whether it's packed or slow, service is quick and courteous. With dumplings this good, it's clear that humility is one of the key ingredients to their consistency and quality.

The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.
