Nasty! This was on my #10 pho soup. And the next thing I know the front lady was stepping into something on the floor next to me. Literally, it was a roach! She picked it up with napkin and didn't even washed her hands afterwards. Avoid this place at all cost. Zero star read more

Auntie's around Austin again ^_^ 'Twas a chilly day and BroE thought it'd be perfect for us to warm up w/some comforting cozying bowl-o-pho. Without hesitation I was like, pho yeah! We entered and were quickly directed to our table then we grabbed a high chair for my toddler nephew. Looking around I can see this casual spot bustling during the lunch and dinner rush. Fortunately we arrived during "linner". Our lady server was helpful. She took the time to guide us in ordering the proper portion size of pho for my 1.5 year old toddler nephew. When we picked the children's bowl in the "Special Noodle Soup" section, she pointed to the "Side Items" section that offered a small bowl of rice noodles which also included broth. She shared that the children's bowl is for bigger kids. We appreciated the info and it was a perfect size for him. My regular size bowl of #12 (pho tai chin) got it done. Yes to their pho. It was familiar, flavorful, aromatic, and warming. Just felt so right having pho when it's cold outside. As always I added sriracha sauce and the regular fixin's from the plate. Satisfaction. They're conveniently located in Chinatown Center so afterwards we headed to MT Supermarket and Texas Bakery for random groceries and treats. Next time we'll bring the rest of the family since their pho is solid. read more

Classic high volume Lunch noodle house. Quick, attentive, great flavor with a big lunch crowd. Located in the Asia market area lots of competition. They stand out for speed and consistency at a great value. We like it as the setting is noodle house - packed with people enjoying lunch. The smoked porks spring rolls are a must try. read more

This is and will always be my go-to pho restaurant! My family and I will always come here after a day of shopping at the Domain or driving around Austin and we order pho with meatballs every time. The service and food are consistent which is why I love coming here, even if it's busy. I wouldn't say the pho is the best I've ever had, but its always good and I just know I'll be satisfied anytime I come here. We are always seated immediately and they're very quick with bringing out the food. I've probably been here 20 times already and haven't had a bad experience once! read more

First time here and first time eating pho, very good food! Staff is very friendly and quick service!! Definitely will be back!

"I've got noodles...on a cloudy day...when's it cold outside...I've got any month to eat...I guess you'd say...what can make me feel this way? My pho...(my pho), Talkin' about my pho" (Another chessy song for my Yelp review, but it's for everyone' entertainment) This place serves some pretty good, close to authentic Pho noodle soups. There is a lot of variety when it comes to choosing your meats, and they give you a good amount of toppings like bean sprouts, mint/basil leaves, etc. I always get the pho noodle soup, but I have friends who tell me that the Vermicelli bowls and other entrees are pretty good, so you should give that a try as well! Again, when the weather is right, you gotta come here and comfort your Asian side with some Pho Noodle Soup! read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 PM - not during peak hours. The place was 75% empty. We got no service. They didn't repeat the order back to us & got order wrong. When the food finally came, it had no flavor. The staff just sits around the counter & chats to each other. We waved at them for 10 minutes before someone noticed. I was about to call the phone to have them send someone over because no one was paying attention to the people there. By the time someone was headed our way, they kept getting distracted by a bunch of other people because everyone else needed to ask for things too. The server stopped by three other tables before they got to us. Food was mostly overcooked: the noodles were so mushy & bloated like they cooked it then left it in water all day. The meat was burnt. By far, one of the worse Vietnamese food experiences I've had. Definitely would not recommend & definitely would not come back. read more

Well this vietnamese food is not for me..Everything was imitation from crab meat to the fish balls. Not for me...Two thumbs down..

Coming from a SoCal city where there's practically a pho restaurant in every street, I was very glad to have found Pho Saigon. The pho broth is good and authentic (not the best I've had), but it varies so often. Some days, it's really close to perfection and other days it's not very good at all. The quality of the meats and tendon they select aren't the best either. I will say that the tripe I've had here tastes clean, which is something I haven't really found with other pho restaurants in Austin. Their bun bo hue broth also varies in quality/taste. It's almost like there's a new chef every day, and I'm just betting on the days that a good chef is in. Overall, I've had their BBH a handful of times, and I'm really not impressed at all. The com tam dishes here are pretty good, but I've only had the grilled pork and beef plates. Overall, Pho Saigon is good, but I'm still trying to find a better one. read more

Really good food. Reason for four stars rather than five is terrible service. My sister almost finished her bowl of vermicelli with pork before I finally got my bowl of pho. Five other tables around me also got their food before me. No one bothered to check on me when I sat there with obvious annoyance. I finally got the food and dammit... it's too good to not come back. I'm hoping that the delay was an unusual mistake. It would've been nice, though, if someone had bothered to apologize. But I'll come back and give this place another try. read more

Has been a speedy experience since quarantine. Always great pho. I also really like that they have Che here as well! If you want a chilled refreshing dessert, get Che ba mau! read more

Pho Saigon Noodle House is located right in the heart of the Chinatown Market area off North Lamar. I have been a few times because of its authenticity and flavor. Also it is reasonably priced. I generally go with a Pho with eye round steak and flank but went for a rice and meat plate this time, I think Com Dia but don't remember. The coconut juice with coconut pieces is always a treat for me. My friend got the Thai tea and Pho. Great place!! read more

Came here for pho, spring rolls and it was very disappointing. The beef was over cooked and the broth sucked. The spring rolls were not flavored or wrapped correctly either.

I don't typically write reviews but after ordering from Ubereats, I just HAD to write one. My boyfriend and I have tried so many Pho places and just couldn't find a place that for 1) has Bun Bo Hue (my absolute favorite) and 2) has authentic tasting Pho. Let me tell you. I have ordered from countless places where all their pho tasted mostly of water and had no flavor.... This restaurant however, made their pho taste homemade and had so much flavor! I will definitely be ordering more from this place! I'm sad it took me 3 years to find it because it is seriously, SO good! read more

Solid Pho. Definitely better than most Pho restaurants in Austin. I'd recommend the Pho Tai and the Pho Tai Nam. Their meat over rice dishes are really good as well. The #57, which is charbroiled lemon grass beef over rice with a fried egg on top, is a favorite amongst our group. Another dish I'd recommend would be the Vermicelli noodles with charbroiled pork. The meat is cooked really well and they hook you up with big portions. read more

Good food for a good price. I had the Pork Vermicelli cold noodle bowl and it was tasty. They skimped just a little on the meat which was fine given the cheap price. Overall it's good Vietnamese food but there is a lot of interesting Asian food places to try within the same general area, Chinatown Center. This place would be 5th or 6th on my list when comparing all the available lunch and dinner options there. read more

Impressive! I got a regular size beef pho, and it tasted super delicious! One of the best phos I've ever had in my life. The broth was clear and flavorful. And the noodles were well-cooked. I came here with couple of friends for a Sunday lunch, and the restaurant was extremely packed. It proved how popular this restaurant is. Food came out extremely quick. I think they came out in less than five minutes after we gave our order to the waitress - I'm not even joking. Try out the Vietnamese coffee here! It's sweet yet has a pretty strong coffee taste. I can tell I'll be visiting this place more often now. They sure do know how to make pho here! read more

Great food and service, we got the lemongrass beef and loved it, would give 5 stars but the ambiance was missing a touch, could use some music and better lighting read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Austin. I've tried various dishes and they were all cooked very well. Everything from their rice pork chop plates to their Pho. I love the grilled pork, it is nicely charred with some hint of lemongrass flavor. The best part is that the food portions are very large. I still can't tell a difference between their regular size bowl vs the large bowl. Regardless, it's too delicious not to finish entirely. I recommend any dish with grilled pork. Service is generally quick, although it could be a hit or miss on some days. read more

I haven't been here in a few years but I went today! And if was just as amazing as I remember. If you have a pho craving in N Austin this is your place. Seat yourself. Staff is very attentive. Portions are HUGE and affordable. To go boxes and cups offered. Refilled drinks when needed. I got two delicious meals of vermicelli and char broiled chicken with a soda for $10! read more

Our family has many fond memories of eating here. Of course the food is delicious, but it is more than just that. I tend to think that most customers go here for the food _and_ to feel a little like they are in another place or time. This immersive quality is what makes this place authenticate. You can no longer travel to Saigon, Vietnam (now named Ho Chi Minh City), but in Austin, TX, you can get a little feel of what it might have been like to have a nice bowl of Pho there. And given the recent event where a customer yelled "speak English" at a staff member, if you find yourself similarly inclined to act in such a way, may I suggest you steer clear of this fine establishment? Better yet, leave the country entirely for a couple of years (may a suggest Vietnam?) and try learning a foreign language first before judging someone else's foreign language skills. Then come back to Austin and enjoy a nice bowl of Saigon Pho like a normal human being. I wish you a safe journey. . . read more

After 6 other Pho places this is the only one I would recommend so far . The chicken wings were A1 as well !

So you're drunk on a Monday. Now replace "you're" with "i'm" The moment I walked in, there was a plethora of hipster/homeless looking people with all sorts of coloured hair, one with a giant Zelda triforce tatted on his arm. I'm not in Little Saigon (Westminster/GG, CA) anymore. Pho is a universal language! when you're knocking on death's door, the right amount of chili and sriracha will rejuvenate you like Lazarus. It's the modern day miracle. General Guide: Most Pho places (like this one) are good, just look for anything with a location in Vietnam or a number in the name. Don't know what to order? just say #1. You'll be fine. Avoid places like Chef Tyler Akin of Stock. (google it - anything hipster sounding really) I'm going to pass out now. read more

Decided to have pho when I first arrived in Austin, TX. This place wasn't hard to find, it was in a Chinatown center plaza. The restaurant is pretty big with many tables and customers. Didn't wait for that long for the pho, I got a size small, but it still had a pretty big portion. The pho was tasty and the broth tasted very fresh. read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Pros: Lots of seating. Veggies with pho are fresh and a good portion size. Fried egg rolls are great. They have scissors to cut the noodles for younger patrons (TIP: GOOD VIETNAMESE PLACES KEEP SCISSORS ON HAND FOR THIS VERY REASON.) I didn't even have to ASK for scissors...they brought them out with my veggies. Next door to MT Supermarket. Cons: The pho broth could have seasoned a bit more, but I only say that because I'm comparing it to my favorite places in FW or Houston. The distance from my neighborhood. Wish they had one closer! Conclusion: If I'm doing my Asian food shopping and am hungry to Pho, this place is it! read more

I've tried almost everything on the menu and the food is consistently great! My go to place for Pho, fried egg rolls and Bun salad!

Like Duys next door it can either be a hit or miss. I've had a few bad experiences here, but recently the opposite and so I'm hoping for more consistency. [What I like] I've been ordering the Com Tam and child's pho bowl mainly. Its my way of sampling the pho without committing to stand-alones. Child Pho Bowl- main difference I noticed was it costs a few cents more, but includes meat. Other places would be just noodle and broth. So I liked that, and overall it was good. Com Tam- So this time I received bigger portions, but more importantly, the meat was seasoned/charred so well. Nice. Broken rice was there, nice. Veggies were fresh as can be, great. Overall solid 4/5. Really wish they included a Com Tam item with an egg quiche. Its like a burger combo, but with no fries. Its like no Com Tam dish in Austin offers it? Just something for a wishlist. Glad the food was good and certainly fine with coming back. read more

Love love love pho, and I can always count on this place to deliver. The clear broth w/ chicken and vermicelli noodles is always my favorite, and I love their eggrolls. The price is also very reasonable - it's about $7 for a big bowl of noodles and $2 for delicious eggrolls. There are also many other options. Very reliable place for a person in love with pho (or just someone who enjoys pho in general). read more

Came here with my mother and sister on a weekday for an early lunch before the lunch rush. There was only 1 other person dining, so not busy at all. The food is absolutely DISGUSTING! I got my usual Bun bo hue, the bowl came out orange instead of the usual red you'd see in Bun bo hue. They didn't clean the meat throughly so it stunk. I barely touched my bowl. Haven't been here in the past few years and I will not be coming back. It has taken a turn for the worst. There are better places around. For the people who think this place is good obviously you haven't had good pho. Time to give other places a try! read more

Full disclosure. Up until earlier this week I never tried Pho. If you know me than you're probably shocked considering how adventurous I am when it comes to food. Pho has been on my list of things to try for a while now; unfortunately, the places that I went to in the past did not have a vegetable or fish based broth. Pho Saigon on the other hand delivers a rich, deeply flavored vegetable stock that you can sub for any of the other broths on their pho menu. I went on Sunday, 11/2/2019, around 1:30pm. The place was busy and yet they were able to seat us immediately. What I really appreciated (that may not sit well with everyone) is that they will seat different parties at tables that are pushed together--if you watch A Million Little Things, *semi-spoiler* think family dinner style the night the power went out. Depending on the situation, you may just make a new friend. If you're dining alone, then they'll seat you at the high top situation at the half-wall they erected, which cuts the restaurant in half. The service is decent. Once we sat down, they took our order and the food was out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the Pho Do Bien, which includes rice noodles, imitation crab stacks, fish ball halves, and shrimp. I swapped the chicken broth for a vegetable broth and I saw scallions, onion, and cilantro floating in the bowl. They also gave us each a plate of vegetables to throw into our pho bowls consisting of bean sprouts, jalapeños, Thai basil, and lemon. For those not in the know, Thai basil is different than Italian (sweet) basil in that it has a spicier quality to it. Take a nibble before throwing just the leaves into your bowl (no stems!) to appreciate just how pungent these herbaceous leaves are. I tossed it all in, a generous squeeze of lemon, and began slurping away to my heart's content. About halfway through I spotted the hoison sauce to add some more umami, saltiness to the bowl. Just don't go overboard. For those wondering what exactly hoison is: fermented soybeans mashed and blended with other spices. It lends dishes a richness and some salt content. It has a strong flavor that is hard to replicate with other things. Put some on your spoon and taste it before going crazy with it in your main bowl. The other sauces at the table include a chili sauce, Sriracha, and fish oil. Don't make the same mistake I did and try the fish oil on it's own. It is VERY assertive. And definitely don't put a dab on your finger to taste it, because the smell lingers. When you're done with your meal, if you need a to go container, just grab one from the front counter. To pay, head to the register and give them your table number. I knocked a star for service. Once you're seated and they've taken your order, they don't really come by and check on you. So if you're planning to order more later, just order on the front end. read more

Always great food always fresh. We usually get takeout and have yet to be disappointed.

Okay, here's all I remember about algebra: A) I love big tasty bowls of white chicken pho. B) Pho Saigon Noodle House has big tasty bowls of white chicken pho. C) I love Saigon Noodle House. Sometimes, it's fun to be cheap. Split an order of spring rolls, a pho for you, a pho for me, and put a chopstick in us for less than $18. Most of my invitees see the fun of it. read more
