Another Vietnamese review I'm going do considering I am Vietnamese and I probably have +1000 bowls of pho my entire time here in Texas. It was a great good lunch but it definitely had its pros and cons in my opinion. Anyone that eats pho, it's all about the broth and this broth had the great standard beef flavor that I'm accustomed too. Great nice bouncy noodles with the overall fresh herbs, like the bean sprouts and cilantro an overall good experience, but allow me to list of pros and cons. Pros: -The meat quality was great, freshly sliced beef and love the bouncy noodles. -The fresh herbs that came with the dish mixed together and overall fresh experience . Cons: -There was too much oil in the soup dish -After I left, even after a few hours, my mouth was still dry which I know for sure they added too much MSG -There wasn't enough beef -There wasn't enough vegetables as you can see on the pictures -You can see how little bean sprouts and leaves they gave me -Not enough green onions, not enough onions in the dish -I ended up eating the entire bowl of food because there just wasn't enough of it -to me it tasted like an $11 bowl not $14. If it came with more beef, yes it would be worth it.

I order pick up and everything was ready in 5 minutes. Food was good, also order a soursop shake, I loved it!! They gave me a big bag of bean sprouts and jalapeños, I really appreciate it. Enjoyed everything and definitely would order again. I just had a hard time finding an updated menu.

Fresh hot and fast - food quality good. Parking is a little tight and location is a bit limited for easy in and out. Seems like low patron level - walk in 2 maybe 3 tables working.

I typically go to the braker location but am now closer to the Round Rock location. Once again, Pho Dan was fantastic. I've tried a couple different pho places around Austin, but I always come back to Pho Dan. This is classic pho, nothing new or fancy. The flavor is always right on point.

Will they substitute the rice noodles for glass noodles instead?

I'm sure they can

Austin's Vietnamese food scene over the years has been lacking but year after year, more authentic…read morespots are opening and my search for the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant is finally complete. Austin's 100% authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Bun Bo Hue: chewy noodles, fresh big chunks of pork and soft beef. The bowl is made the way I would make it at home, tons of meat. For less than $16, it's the best value to dollar to meal in my opinion more than pho or ramen. It is a bowl full of dark and light spicy flavors of soup. Fresh toppings on top, a big piece of pork blood cake. It's as good as Houston BBH. The banh cuon, man, taste like Vietnam. Fresh fresh fresh rice rolls, not too oily which I appreciate, nice textures of the ground pork which is nicely seasoned, sliced woodear mushrooms, and crispy onions on top. The bean sprouts are nicely steamed and sliced cucumbers add a warranted cooling taste. The nuoc mam for me I want to be saltier, garlic, fish sauce but I can add more spice from the bottles on the table. When you take in a bite of the rice roll, dipped in nuoc mam, it's a taste of Vietnam street food. Plus finish it off with a fresh blanched bean sprout. The price point less than $15 is worth it. Now let's talk about my all time favorite, banh knot. Fried little cakes filled with shrimp, a little bit of coconut milk, green onions and it's a little cup of goodness. Add some nuoc mam and it holds it in the cake. It comes with fresh lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and carrots. Roll it into a little roll, bite into the cake and bite into the vegetable lettuce wrap. It's all time goodness. A 1000% must try. Btw, the dining room and all the utensils are very clean. The plates are also spotless.

Saigon 512 is amongst the top rated Vietnamese restaurants in the Austin-Metro area! I've been…read morecoming here occasionally the past few years (before and after their renovation) and leave satisfied every time. I uploaded their recent menu items as they have a new staff and are still in the process of training them to serve their whole menu again. My personal favorites that I get on rotation each time I come are the Banh Cuon w/ Pork (Vietnamese Rice Cake), Large Banh Xeo (w/ no squid), and Com Ga Di Bo (Rice Plate w/ Boiled Chicken). I always order a side of Goi Cuon Nem Nuong with my respective entree as well. The Sugar Cane Juice is absolutely delicious, fresh, and not too sweet. The service here is always friendly, attentive, and timely. Nice relaxing atmosphere with television and restaurant music for your dining experience. Definitely recommend for all my fellow Vietnamese food lovers!

I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. 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.

We really enjoyed our experience! We had to wait around 30 minutes to get in, but it was definitely…read moreworth it. The service was amazing, and the food came out quickly and was delicious! One thing that really surprised us was the wings. They were so good! The pho was also really good, and I would definitely come back. The only downsides were the wait time and the fact that the restaurant is pretty small, so the smell of food can be a little strong inside. Other than that, everything was fantastic! Definitely recommend!

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.

Like one of my favorite HARRY STYLES songs, it's a happy place to be, and buzzing busy on a Sunday!…read moreTake yours to-go (delivery through their website ordering) or dine-in lunch through dinner every day except humpday! I'm back for a delicious BUN CHA GIO (cold vermicelli noodle bowl, like a deconstructed spring roll) - this one with perfectly grilled shrimp, sub actual SPRING ROLLS (pork + shrimp) that are delicate & fresh, lovely in a house-made peanut sauce. There's an abundance of fresh fish specials & vegetarian options for all kinds of dietary preferences. OCHI is serving fast, and teamwork keeps the tables turning!
