    Not a bad choice at all! It's nothing extraordinary, but the food is predictably good. If you're in the area it's definitely worth stopping by. Honestly, my Pho was really good, especially when you put all the goodies in it and some hot sauce and whatever else they have hanging out on the table. Really tasty! The servers don't really check on you, but the food does come out quick, and if you want something else you can go up to the counter. Seems like a chill place, it doesn't have a lot going on, but I can definitely see myself coming back here. It's a no-frills kind of place and it focuses on the food being good, and I can appreciate that.

    This place us ridiculous. I am being blocked in by a delivery truck.. saying it will take 20 to 30 minutes before he gets done unloading. There are no signs saying where I parked is for restaurant only. There are many businesses here. I asked nicely, as he pulled up to see if he could let me out. He said this parking is for the restaurant only and I am making his delivery hard. He would not move for me to back out. Again. There are no signs stating this anywhere.

    Broth was watered down, and protein portions was disappointing. There was whiffs of star anise, and msg, and not much else.

    Best rice plate I've ever had! I've been eating it for over 10 years and the quality has remained the same. The meat is tender and flavorful, the rice is broken like how it's traditionally done (quite rare to find), and it even comes with a flavorful soup on the side. Beware that they may give less meat when you order takeout. I would definitely recommend the rice plates over the pho, unless you're really craving it. I think there's better pho spots in town nowadays, but this rice plate is the real deal. I seriously haven't found anything better, even after living in SF for a few years. The service is just alright, but I personally don't care too much about that. It's one of the staples in my family's rotation for good reason!

    My fave

    Craving comfort food? Pho Dan hits the spot with its authentic Vietnamese flavors, cozy vibes, and menu full of classics like pho, spring rolls, and banh mi. Vegan-friendly and perfect for group hangs or solo slurps. My fave? The pork chop with fried egg -- chef's kiss! A must-visit in Austin!

    Very blah The good - friendly staff, big clean and efficient environs, and easy parking The bad - the food is very blah. It isn't bad mind you, just no there there, kothing that makes you want to go back Which is sad, cos this used to be some of the best pho in town...

    Very clean - up scale Pho. Menu is diverse and special requests are met well. For example fried egg on top. Prices are moderate and the food good. Parking is good but can get tight at times.

    I love coming to Pho Dan whenever I'm trying to eat with a bigger group because the seating is just so accommodating which is already a big plus. Another plus being the dishes are all both decently sized and priced. And I just love how there are so many different pho options so it's easy to find the perfect combination of meats for each person. The pho is always good, with flavorful broth and a good amount of meat. But I really want to highlight the pork vermicelli bowls! The meat has a really nice smoky lemongrass flavor, the egg roll is so fat and crispy, and the dish as a whole is pretty filling.

    We haven't been here in a while. The food is still delicious. I had the #2 pho and spring rolls. Both are still really tasty. The service is lacking from what I remember. We had to ask for water twice. The server had that deer in the headlights look when asking for water. The ambiance is lacking too.

I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!

    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.

    I've been to this place many times and every time, I love it!…read more First of all, I just love coming here the seating and the space is so relaxing and such a perfect place to eat and talk. And honestly it's better than any fancy restaurant out there. I love the amount of plants in the space and the TV plays cooking videos and it's so nice to watch while waiting for your food! Speaking of waiting for your food, the food comes out super quick! Within 1 minute of ordering my drink, it came out! And a couple minutes after follows the food. The service is amazing as well, the servers are super sweet and are very quick to serve you and get what you need. The menu offers a bunch of things, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and the drinks! I love how the desserts and drinks are also Vietnamese (most of the time I notice restaurants tend to have the basic selection of fountain drinks and desserts, but this restaurant has a wide variety of drinks and desserts so you can try something new every time you come here!) Most of all, there's a bunch of vegan dishes which I absolutely love. The food is always delicious I've been trying the vegan dishes recently and I love them a lot (as someone who doesn't like vegan dishes normally)! The chicken pho is also so delicious it tastes better than I make it at home! So much flavor. The drinks are so good as well. They also give you a big portion and I normally have leftovers, but the portion size is amazing for the price that you pay. It's definitely more affordable and such a bang for your buck. This is definitely a spot to try and trust me, you'll probably fall in love! If I was an Austin tourist I would definitely hit up this restaurant. I could go on and on about this restaurant.

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.
