My new favorite pho spot in all of Austin. Super fast service during regular dine in as well as take out. It's a little pricier than other pho places though for some reason. But overall I keep coming back cause they always get the depth to their pho flavor right. There's never an off day with them. read more

Flat noodle with pork: Really good. Awesome flavor and the veggies are perfectly cooked. I think this will be a new favorite meal for me. It is great. The pork was tough, but that I forgave because it was so good. But it would perhaps be good for this restaurant to rethink their pork source. Vermicelli with lemongrass beef: AMAZING!!! Spicy and flavorful. I just love the spice on this. Vermicelli with pork and eggrolls: Pork is dry, but flavor is excellent. Eggrolls are a little soggy but this is because I ordered from Ubereats and it took them about 30 min to get it to me. I'm sure in house it would be perfectly crispy. Again, dry pork but awesome flavor. Pho with brisket and flank: Broth tastes almost as if it is bouillon with spices in it. Not a deep flavor. The meat is thin, dry, and scant. I gave the pieces that were gristle/fat to the dog. The veggies are really fresh and good. I will not be ordering pho from here again. The veggies that came with the vermicelli are fresh and crisp. The fish sauce is "boring", but if you add the chili that comes with the order it comes alive and is fabulous! read more

This restaurant is easily one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the Round Rock area. I've been here several times for lunch and the service is really quick. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, so there is almost no wait for a table. I love their grilled pork and spring roll combo vermicelli bowl. The grilled pork is nicely charred and egg rolls are crispy and flavorful (exactly how it should taste!). That dish never disappoints me. I have also got their Pho. The broth is everything and they make it really well, especially perfect if you are looking to have a nice warm dish. To top off the meal, have it with vietnamese coffee! It's strong but the condensed milk sweetens the bitter coffee taste. Always a treat to enjoy. read more

One of my least favorite Vietnamese restaurants ever. Perhaps I'm surrounded by more choices in my hometown... but I would definitely not recommend this place if you're headed to Arlington or Garland, TX. I ordered the rice dish with suon nuong, shredded pork and egg. The suon nuong (main protein in the dish) was dry with barely any flavor. Everyone else I went with had varieties of pho which were average. I would not come here again unless I'm in dire need to try to cure a hangover with their pho. Their waiter was very nice and funny. read more

We tried 20 or so of the closest Vietnamese restaurants the first couple years after moving to Austin... and this spot is the best we found in the city. There is a reason they are always busy: THEIR PHO BROTH!!! To die for. There are a lot of reasons why this place is great, from the service, the cleanliness, the consistency of food quality year after year... but what sets them aside is the pho broth. I am still astonished at how many places around here are using instant mix or even pre-made broth. Pho Hoang is the real deal. Pho broth is made from simmering beef bones or oxtail for a long time, over several hours, with spices and sometimes charred onion & ginger. That's what makes it so rich and flavorful, and Pho Hoang's has a beautiful complexity that will fix you right up when you're sick or lethargic. We honestly haven't had any mediocre dishes from this place. We also enjoy the shaking beef with butter rice and all their bun. Their take out system is flawless and we've never gotten a wrong order here... they seem to double check everything consistently! read more

Vietnamese comfort food. It is comforting. Technically, it's a noodle shop. That means you have a choice of noodles, noodles, noodles, rice and noodles. The noodles come wet or dry. You can pick what liquid makes them wet. You can pick how the noodles get sauteed if you get them dry. You can pick what gets dumped in with the noodles. I got em dry with the lightest and healthiest of the saute techniques and with tofu and vegetables instead of meat. The good health angels all pulled out their harps and sang hymns to healthy eating. Angel music is nice but that did mean I was getting one of the blandest preparations in the house. It was still fine. The food came out fast. The veggies were crunchy and tasty. The noodles were fried just enough to give a semblance of evil taste coming from what they were fried in in the bottom of the pan. I was happy. * I would eat here a lot if I lived or worked in the area. Would I drive here from New Braunfels for my one destination meal? Well Texas does have a whole lot of other pho places ... read more

My go to Vietnamese restaurant in Austin when it comes to Pho or Grilled Chicken rice plate cravings! In my opinion it's the most decent place in Austin for authentic Vietnamese food. I recently wanted to branch out in their menu and tried their Mi Thap Cam (combo seafood egg noodle soup) and I was totally disappointed. The taste of the broth was flavorless and the ingredients of the seafood didn't make it taste any better. The only edible thing was the egg noodle. My tip is the stick with their Pho menu and Rice/Vermicelli menu! Also you can't go wrong with the fried pot stickers! My boyfriend and I usually order them whenever we come here! read more

Just devoured the take-out version of pork chops with crushed rice upon the recommendation of Will K. There was no fried egg (perhaps one must request this?), but I didn't miss it for a moment. For less than $7, I got 2 delectable, smoky grilled chops, 2 cups of fluffy rice, a salad of cucumber, tomato, and shredded pickled carrots, and the requisite little cups of fish sauce and garlic-chili sauce. My method is to chop up everything and mix it into the rice, then soak the plate with the fish sauce that has been pre-dosed with a bit of the chili sauce. Such complex flavors in every bite! I could only finish half the plate, so I'll have another crack at it at lunch tomorrow. Pho Huang is my husband's favorite place for vermicelli. On his noodle bowl, he never strays from the sliced pork and egg roll combo (from which he allows me to mooch a bite or two). The pork is incredible - sweet and smoky, yet very lean. The eggrolls give you a second hit of crispy, porky goodness - they are mostly meat, unlike 99% of the other egg rolls in this town that are mostly grease-laden wrapper and cabbage. The pho is best in town, with perfectly seasoned broth and lots of fresh herbs and veggies to add to the mix. Love the french-press coffee with condensed milk! This is powerful stuff, so I only partake on days when I can handle a caffeine kick in the head that will put my brain on warp speed. There are two locations for this joint, the original one down on Rutland near Pickle Research and this newer one up near La Frontera. I prefer the new one, as the menu is longer and offers more non-meat options, including seafood. The negatives (and they're really minor): For some reason, they never seem to have paper menus, and their website has been defunct for years after hackers attacked it in the '90s (strange for a place with free wifi onsite, no?). It would be nice if they'd get a menu online so I could plan my order from home and not have my kind dinner delivery dude (aka hubby) have to guess what I'd like to eat. The cash only thing used to be annoying, but since they've installed ATMs near the check-out counter, it's no problem for me now. read more

I'm starting to wonder if these Pho places already know what I want to order, because it comes out in lightning speed! Came here initially to take a bowl back to work, but decided to eat there. I ordered the round and brisket pho, which took all of about 1.75 minutes to hit the table. It also came with the usual sides... Sprouts, cilantro, jalapenos, basil and a lime wedge. I dressed it up as I usually do, and asked for extra jalapenos, which were brought in a flash. I also ordered the pork spring rolls to give them a try. The beef broth in the pho was excellent. I like mine a little more on the oniony side, which was good. The spring rolls were fresh, and the peanut sauce was good as well. Great lunch on a windy, cold and gloomy day! It hit the spot pho sho! The only reason for 4 stars? Cash only.... I totally forgot about that and had to pay the $3 and bank fees to make my purchase.. I will remember that next time, because there WILL be a next time! read more

It's a solid pho spot. I can't attest to how it tastes in person bc I've been ordering through delivery bc of CoViD.

I'll continue to order from here. I've had problems with the food missing but that's more of the delivery app issue I think. I think one time I ordered the soup was not as hot.

Update 11/26/14 - you can now pay with your PLASTIC OR CASH.. the ATM is still on site. Credit Cards welcome now... Today I ordered the #200, Pork and Shrimp Noodle Soup.. it was good, not as tasty as the Pho (IMO) and the noodles were stuck together as if they were dropped in one clump; so i needed to pull them apart and they were not freely moving. Additionally, they were firm.. so either they were not cooked fully before being put in broth or they were just not good noodles. The meal wasn't bad this time around, but I would rather trust the Pho and its beefy flavors next time and hopefully they won't have that noodle issue again. I will keep it at 4-stars for this time.. read more

Okay, time for a truly honest review. Posted about where I could find some truly great Pho restaurants in Austin on Reddit, and people recommended this place. Seriously, I wanted _good_ pho. I don't want to go to a place where the owners also own Pholicious, as this place is. That place was beyond bland. So, here's the truthiness. I went in and ordered Pho Dac Biet - like I always do in any new Pho restaurant. The tendon was cooked very well, the other meats were done very nicely. But the broth. Seriously. What happened?! Pho broth should be full-bodied, full of flavor, savory, and have those nice fragrant anise notes with hints of ginger and garlic. None of that was present here. And I didn't go here on a Monday. I came here on a Wednesday. The broth was very beef-forward, and had almost no taste of other flavors that I expect. There was no sweetness, no spice flavor that I expect. Overall, I very disappointed. Pho (scale from 1-10): 4 I'll find better. read more

Hands down the best beef Pho I've ever tasted. Now let me qualify that some... I've had Pho from Orange County, CA, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, and New York, NY. So I have a pretty broad pallet and experience when it comes to Pho. I think the broth just had so much richness and depth, the meat... well the meat in Texas is fantastic and so you marry the two. BAM, you have this place. If you're craving good beef Pho this should be No. 1 on your list. Wow... just wow. This place is going on what my wife and I refer to as, "the rotation". read more

A hostess in a gondola rowed us to our table singing a song in another language (maybe Italian?) before letting us know that the Soup Man would be with us shortly as he was very busy today. The warning was unwarranted though, as the Soup Man shortly thereafter appeared at our table addressing, us by name and apologizing that the hostess didn't realize what esteemed guests we were.

Go vegan, or vegetarian, or just STFU and grab a bowl of chili! Keep it old skool and get the tomato basil with a grilled cheese sandwich (cheddar is the best option). The curry chicken soup is my fave but it's only rarely in rotation. They do juices and smoothies, too. Cool people. Old Austin vibe.

I'll definitely be returning on my next trip!! Thanks yall!!

Back for another wonderful meal! From the friendliness of the host stand to our amazing waitress…read more So much fun! Drinks never empty. She was totally on top of us I had the lobster pasta and friend had the ahi tacos. They did not skimp on portions. The tacos were so full of tuna it has hard to keep it all inside the shell! So very tasty and extremely fresh ahi for sure. The lobster pasta went beyond my expectations! The pasta was definitely homemade and cooked to the perfect texture. The sauce was not over powering yet very tasty for sure. And the lobster meat. Not sprinkled in like other places. Absolutely not! There was a hefty amount of lobster for sure! They did not hold back. This would be good for a girls night out or a very nice dinner date place. The location in downtown is very central to everything you can think of and public parking is near by.
