    Pho
    Adilene P.

    We all ordered different dishes, and everything was fantastic. The pho each of us had was absolutely amazing--rich, flavorful broth and generous portions. I really loved the topping bar where you can grab sauces, limes, and anything else you need to customize your soup exactly how you like it. The portions were huge; we all ate a ton and still had enough leftovers for several more meals. I love this place so much--it's honestly some of the best pho I've ever had. I'd even rank it higher than 888 Pan Asian. Highly recommend!

    This is my go-to spot in the East Riverside area whenever I'm craving pho because it's consistently good and I've never had a bad experience. I love the casual ambiance where you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. There's a condiment bar with unlimited toppings like lime wedges, green onion, red onion, cilantro, etc. so you can grab additional ingredients to your heart's content! I also like that most of their entrees come in one-size because I can sometimes take forever deciding between multiple sizes haha. As a call-out, their combination pho (called the Pho Please) does not come with meatballs so please keep that in mind since some pho restaurants do include meatballs with the combination option.

    Combo vermicelli- with shrimps and bbq short ribs

    Great spot for a good ole hearty bowl of noodle soup on a cooler fall/winter days. Pho is solid here and they have tripes and tendon which could be hard to find if you end up at a more Americanized VIet restaurant. While their vermicelli is decent, I would not go here if you're looking for authentic vermicelli. The veggies they use is spring mix. While spring mix is a much healthier ( in term of nutrition) it is not what we use for vermicelli. There should be typical lettuce and different types of herbs like mints, etc.. used in this dish. We ordered the combo which comes with 2 proteins and an egg. We chose shrimps and short ribs. Ribs were lean so it was a bit dry and somewhat tough. Shrimp was perfectly charred! I also appreciate their condiments bar. I love lots of lime I my food and even my water so it is extremely nice to be able to self-serve for the extra lime and herb veggies toppings. We also tried their boba tea and it was decent. Green light from me, should you need help making decision to get one or not! :-)

    Beef Pho ($15)

    4.5 Stars - A casual Vietnamese spot serving pho, baos, spring rolls, banh mih, rice plates, and vermicelli bowls. There are lots of options to choose from for your Vietnamese food cravings. The prices are great and the portions are HUMONGOUS. They do NOT skimp on the protein. The meat quality is not high but it's on par with what's expected at this price. We got the chicken spring rolls ($7), beef pho ($15), and chicken rice plate ($14). Everything was yummy - nothing mind-blowing, but good. I would like to try something other than the pho next time ($15 for pho with 2 meats). Order at the counter, take a number, and they will bring the food to you. Tables and place are clean. They staff are very friendly too.

    Had a hankering for pho with the recent cold front so I decided to try pho please, which was the closest spot that had good reviews. It did not disappoint, as it satisfied my craving and also showed me one of the more reasonable and delicious Bahn mi's I've had in the city. It is a order at the counter and sit down after establishment, and the interior isn't very big and can be busy, but the girl taking my order was pretty helpful with the questions I had, though she was vegan so it wasn't an exact match lol. She put me onto the Thai boba tea however and it was great. Definitely will come back when I'm needing my pho fix again.

    Serving sizes are so generous and pho broth was super flavorful! $15 for beef pho (comes with your choice of 2 cuts). Also ordered the lychee green tea which was delicious too. Service was friendly & quick.

    Pho please
    Michelle L.

    This place is always reliably good! I got the pho please and the bowl was big enough for two people to share for lunch. The portion is generous and the soup is delicious. The tables are more of a self serve format, where you order at the front and then get seated.

    Pork Vermicelli

    Ordered pork vermicelli to go on January 26 (Monday) My only meal I had for that day, ended up getting Food Poisoning. Uncontrollable vomiting and ... It is now 4 am, still sick with tremors from the food poisoning. Might have to go E.R if the tremors and vomiting don't stop.

    Was craving for a quick Viet food fix and it was pretty solid! Pho broth was strong and flavorful, just a bit sweet but it balanced out! The filet steak was soooo good, I highly recommend it to pair with the beef broth. The brisket was a bit dry tho :( I also liked the condiment/veggie station, which included the Togo boxes, utensils etc. The green milk tea was also yummy. Customer service was also awesome and friendly. Highly recommend!

    Pork vermicelli bowl
    Krasti Q.

    I decided to stop here for lunch since I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised. It's a pretty chill, no frills type of restaurant. You order first at the counter and they choose a table for you to sit down. I ordered their pork vermicelli bowl. The pork was very tasty. I liked the veggies and egg which paired very well. I'm taking a star away because some of my noodles were clumpy and broken. My husband ordered their pork banh mi. I did take a bite out of his sandwich to try it out and actually enjoyed it very much. Will come back again for their banh mi. Service is quick.

    Yum! We had a an assortment of food pho, rice bowl. It was all pretty good. I would come back. The service was amazing as well. Very friendly!

    Beef pho

    Came here for dinner tonight and it was so good! I had the rice paper rolls (chicken spring rolls) as an appetizer and they were pretty good. The meat was very tender and the rolls were a good size. I kinda wished the peanut sauce had a little more flavor to it though. I think it would be really good if it had just a little spice and acidity to it! I got the beef pho and it was very good! Very good portion size and the meat seemed like it was high quality. The broth itself was also good, I still added a lot of lime and siracha though. I also loved that there was an area in the restaurant where you could grab more cilantro, onions, limes and other things to add to the dishes. Overall I would definitely recommend! Service was great and the restaurant was a good size with plenty of seating and a nice sized parking lot.

    Thai Tea and Matcha Green Thai Tea
    Sophie T.

    After touring UT Austin, my mom and I were starving and decided to come here. We were immediately drawn in by the pictures of the self-serve toppings bar filled with unlimited green onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. We placed our orders at the counter, and the food came to our table almost instantly while still piping hot. The staff were super nice, and the restaurant had a steady crowd, lots of natural light, and a really pleasant atmosphere. To start, my mom and I shared the Eggrolls and Crab Rangoons. The eggrolls were fine but nothing too memorable, and they were a little burnt on the outside, although that did make them extra crispy. The crab rangoons were also pretty standard and could've used more imitation crab, but they're my guilty pleasure, so I still enjoyed them. For my main dish, I ordered the Spicy Lemongrass Bun Bo Hue, which is one of my favorite Vietnamese noodle soups. While it wasn't spicy, it had a strong, fragrant lemongrass flavor that I really enjoyed. The thick noodles, rare steak, flank steak, bacon, meatballs, and Vietnamese ham were all cooked perfectly. I especially appreciated how generous and varied the toppings were. The portion was huge, and I could only finish about half the bowl. My mom went with the Grilled Pork Chops with Rice, and she loved it. The pork chops were so tender and packed with flavor that they practically melted in your mouth. Honestly, they were some of the best pork chops I've ever had, so I'm really glad the lady at the counter recommended them. To wash it all down, we ordered a Matcha Green Thai Tea and a regular Thai Tea, both of which were refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, this place delivered great food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

The staff are also so efficient and kind whenever I've visited. I always get a beef noodle soup and douse it in spicy sauce and vinegar. The broth is always so warm and comforting and they give very generous portions of meat. The noodles are my favorite part as they are so long and thick and you can taste how fresh they are. They soak up the broth perfectly. As a pairing, I always get the mix dumpling plate. You can really tell that they make them in-house because of how unique and fresh they taste. The dumpling skins are so light and taste amazing. A top-tier spot in Austin.

Got the Pork and Shrimp boiled dumplings 12 pcs. $12.75 The dish arrived with 10 minutes. A plateful of dumplings and empty cup for condiments. I thought there would be a dipping sauce. The dumplings were flavorful without a sauce although I would have enjoyed an option. I added some chili sauce to the empty dish and spiced up things. By the end I was completely full and satisfied. Washed down with some authentic bottled green tea.

I ordered hot and sour pork soup. I had never had hot and sour soup with meat. Portions were generous, ingredients fresh, and the food arrived smoking hot. The noodles were soft, smooth and flavorful. The pork inside looked like tiny meatballs. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the restaurant was completely full and customers were continuing to flow in. Because the restaurant is rather small, I had to wait about 20 minutes for my order. Jim, one of the owners, said if I had ordered 3 items it would take about 45 minutes, that's why I went with one. You could easily tell that many folks at the restaurant were regulars, which means the food, service or both were exceptional. Definitely will be returning to Three Gorges...

The cumin seeds give it that signature earthy, aromatic flavor and you get a slight tingly numbing spice sensation from the chilis and peppercorn. The lamb is not overly gamey, but it still does taste like lamb so if you are not really a lamb fan, I'd choose something else. - Jumping Fish: A very popular dish! Tender white fish fillets that is so soft it melts in your mouth. It is in a flavorful oil and broth that is refreshing from the fresh jalapenos. It is a savory dish, yet still relatively mild. It commes with napa cabbage as well! This was my favorite dish and I loved the flavor combined with the white rice. - Mapo Tofu (Vegetarian): They have one with pork as well, but I got the vegetarian version. Silky soft tofu cubes in that signature mapo tofu sauce and numbing peppercorns. Despite the appearance of all the dishes, none of them were very spicy. Overall, a comforting soft, spicy, savory dish with a slight tingle. - Eggplant in garlic sauce: A deliciously sweet and umami garlic sauce. The eggplants could have been a bit more cooked through in my opinion though since it was still quite firm. I loved it still! Note that all the dishes to me were not spicy just had an underlying subtle spice or tingle (like a finishing flavor note if you will). Also, since it is sichuan the dishes are on the oilier side. You order with the cashier at the front and pay up front as well. Food comes out quickly. It is a small space with three rows of tables (maybe around 12-15 tables give or take), so it does fill up fast. I went at around 5:40 PM on a Thursday and there was no wait, but by the time we finished eating at around 7PM, the restaurant was full. House of Three Gorges was hyped up a lot on my social media feed and through word of mouth, so I came in with high expectations. Luckily, they did not disappoint.
