I have been here before to done in. This was my first take out experience and it was just as good. I was immediately greeted and assisted at the register. I was not rushed and my order of round steak and brisket pho with an order of fried egg rolls were ready in 15 minutes. As I sat and waited the staff continued to check on me. I made a few stops before heading home but the packaging of my pho ingredients made the home preparation so easy. Other pho places will not allow pho to go and I understand why...they don't know how to package it. My bag had plenty of siracha, hoisin sauce, and lime and bean sprouts. No complaints and if this cold weather continues I will return.

We absolutely love coming here for noodle soup and vermicelli! Their vegetarian Vietnamese-style dishes are hands down some of the best in Cedar Park. Our go-to favorites are the vegetarian pho with tofu, the lemongrass tofu vermicelli, and the tofu bánh mì--everything is consistently flavorful and satisfying. Each visit leaves us craving more, and we can't wait to come back again!

Pho Thanh Nhi in Cedar Park is a small, family-owned spot that punches above its weight with authentic, hearty Vietnamese dishes, consistently good quality, and great customer service, making it a local favorite. The highlight for this food place are their fresh, flavorful Pho with tender meats, excellent egg rolls, good Banh Mi, and attentive service. Some may find it slightly pricey but I feel the value is fair. I love the homemade broth and generous portions, making it a very good spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Meat portions are generous, especially the tender brisket and rare steak in Pho. Good portions, often enough for two meals, making it feel worth the price. Huge, well-filled egg rolls are a big hit. Decent, fresh, classic ingredients, especially Pho and sandwich. I easily noticed their quick, attentive, and polite staff. The restaurant exudes a bright, modern, and clean atmosphere. A point for consideration: when ordering, use the number/letter code instead of the food name to prevent any mistakes. My son who happens to be a vegan ordered a vegan Banh Mi (Banh Mi Chay) which has almost the same food name as a pork Bahn Mi (Banh Mi Cha Lau). They served a pork Bahn Mi, it took some time for my son to realize that he was eating a pork sandwich. It was partly a mistake from both sides, we did not blame the restaurant. The restaurant manager/owner was kind enough to give my son a complimentary fresh vegan Banh Mi upon everybody realizing the mistake. I was glad that my son never had a stomach upset that night. Despite the mishap, I am still giving this restaurant a high rating. One of the best Pho I have ever tasted.

Came here on a Saturday and this place was packed. We went for the typical items we would order at a VIET restaurant. Since they have Banh Xeo which to us, is a specialty dish so we went ahead and ordered it. Service was great which earn them an extra star! Banh Xeo pork and Shrimp - 3.5/5 Flavor is great and crispy on the top but it was so greasy on the bottom side. They did not provide enough veggies and have limited veggies option as a typical authentic banh xeo would have. They only have lettuce and basil. The fish sauce is good which saved the day! Pho đặc biệt (Combination) - 3.5/5 Soup was a bit on a salty side but manageable. Unfortunately, the pho broth was mirky and has bubbles on top of the meat fat which grossed me out a little bit. Noodle has good texture but the meat option was just too fatty for our taste. Vermicelli with Grilled chicken - 3.5/5 Flavor was great. Everything was good but the dish gave my partner the runs. He also says the chicken tastes like it has hormones. I'm sure it's not far from incorrect as I doubt use organic chicken. Have to lower 1 star because we all got stomach issue about an hour after the meal. :-(

I came here with my family today, and we were all so happy that we found this place! We've been living in Cedar Park for 8 years but this is by far the best pho we've had in the area! We ordered 1 combination pho 2 veggie pho (they can make the broth veggie as well) 1 beef vermecelli 1 Vietnamese crepe And tofu bahn mi Everything was very good! We really enjoyed the all the items. Pho was really good, some places make the veggie broth bland, but it was really good here. Bahn mi was really good with the flavor and the bread was super crispy!! The crepe was a little bit oily for my liking but the flavor was really good! The servers were super nice too, even though they were super busy, the service was fairly quick! It is a good place for the family outing! If you are looking for a good Vietnamese place in the area, you gotta check this place out!!

Food still great! Service is very lacking and nonexistent. They just walk up to your table and say " know what you want ?" No introduction no how are you haha.. just straight to the point. They don't really check up on you after a few minutes either. Maybe it's full moon? Maybe the company morale is down? Ambience is simple , somewhat clean

Fast service, ample parking after the dinner rush. We went arrived here around 7:40pm and were seated promptly. Having gone to other pho restaurants, we already k ew what we wanted: pho. I ordered a combination pho, which includes a variety of different cuts of beef, including tendon and tripe. From the time we sat down, ordered, and received the food, it took no more than 10 min. Service is fast and the food is tasty. Big portions of meat, noodles and pho broth round out the experience. The restaurant is quiet, which I appreciate. I hate restaurants with loud music. A peaceful end to a long day. We've been to Pho Thanh Nhi in the past, but this is my first time writing a review. They've been nothing other than consistent, and the prices are reasonable for the area.

Great Pho and Vietnamese Sandwich on a cold day. I came here because I needed some soup for my soul as I deal with this congestion. I was pleasantly surprised at how great this place is. Highly recommended!

Fatty brisket and round steak pho
Krista P.

Food is incredible. The owner is amazing and the vibe is chill. I can honestly say this is the best pho I've ever had. I get the fatty brisket and round steak. I think p7? Also their spring rolls are really really good as well! Sometime I indulge in a Vietnamese milk coffee!!! Love this place and well worth the drive for me!

Are they still closed as of 10/27?

They are open again!!! Going today for lunch!!!!!

Why is it closed and when does it re-open?

They are still closed but when I spoke with the owner a month prior to the closing. They stated It was due to a roof repair and when we went by, we noticed that construction was still going on and all the businesses that were affected had to close…

First of all, we were just there 08/07/2026 around 9pm, i hope the management reads that. The staff…read morewas very friendly and service oriented. Young kids doing hard work on a friday evening instead of partying. And they did a great job!!! Second, the food: We had the soup dumplings, the won ton in the chili sauce, the minced pork noodle and the stir fry noodles with beef. The food was amazing, could be a little bit more spicy though, but they have some hot sauces and chili oil to turn it up a notch. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not to soft and not al dente. Prices are good, portions are plenty. Also, they have these super delicious garlicky cucumbers in a savory sauce/dressing at the self serve section. I should have taken more of those. It's a neat little place, they also have these cute little booths outside. I already know what i will try next time we go there. This place is up my (noodle) alley!

TLDR: SO much potential…read more From the pictures online, Noodle Alley looked legit! Simple seating, bamboo plants, simple wood furniture, red lanterns and a shrine-- it gives traditional without even trying. You can order either at the counter or directly at your table via QR code. I'd recommend ordering at the counter, since it seems like table orders take longer to get moving. If your body runs warm, their central AC isn't running and for the most part, I found myself too hot to even want to order noodles with broth. Instead, I opted for the Cold Sesame noodles, which surprisingly wasn't bad! NOTE: the picture overhypes the dish and the actual result/taste look nothing like it. It absolutely needed more dimension other than the cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots-- fried garlic, lime, peanuts, scallions, ANYTHING. The chicken was tender (THANK GOODNESS), but should have been more shredded. Small menu items: *The Taiwanese Popcorn: another one-dimensional item that could have been so much better. It needed more spices and BASIL! *Soup Dumplings: Came out deflated with not enough soup, but the good news: the dumpling wrapper was tender and the pork filling wasn't too bad. *Shrimp & Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce: needs more acidity, I added a few drops of vinegar and it made the dish perfect Self-Service: In addition to being able to order at your table, Noodle Alley has a self-service bar where they serve oranges (essential to end all Chinese meals) and cucumber salad. Though there seems to be some praise for the cucumber salad, we found it to be too soggy meaning it's been sitting for some time.

I had the bun rieu (noodle soup with a pork based broth, tender spare rib, crab cake, and tomato) while hubby had the bu luc lac (beef cubes cooked over a high flame with lemongrass, onions, and garlic spices. Served over lettuce and tomatoes with a side of salt & pepper lime dipping sauce). We ordered the lemongrass stir fry vermicelli (lemongrass stir-fry on top of vermicelli bowls filled with fresh herbs, shredded lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots, and crushed peanuts. Served with a side of house sauce with chili and pickled carrot) for our child and didn't realize it was spicy. She ended up downing an entire glass of water and couldn't finish her meal. The bun rieu broth was lacking in flavor and there were barely any crab cake pieces. It was disappointing since it looked like it was one of the top mentioned dishes on Yelp. The bu luc lac was decent and hubby enjoyed his dish. For dessert I tried to order che ba mau (coconut milk poured over layers of sweet mung beans,soft red kidney beans, green pandan jelly, and crushed ice) but was told that they didn't have the ingredients to make any of their shaved ice desserts.

We've lived near King Noodle for some time and always thought that this place didn't serve…read moreauthentic Asian cuisine. It turns out King Noodle started as a Vietnamese restaurant serving pho but now also serves traditional Chinese dishes not found anywhere else in Austin (that I know of). For this visit, we tried their pho. P2 wanted pho and I obliged. Our server didn't understand Vietnamese, so that was a bit of a red flag considering good, authentic Vietnamese restaurants typically have workers who spoke Vietnamese fluently. It took about 15 minutes for our pho to come out, a long time to wait from what we're used to from other Vietnamese restaurants (usually 5 min). But when we tried the broth, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was enjoyable. I noticed that the broth wasn't as thick and packed with flavor as in other Vietnamese restaurants; it was pleasant and drinkable. I usually have a hard time finishing the pho broth because it's too rich in fat, but I liked how I could do so at King Noodle. They also added a good amount of noodles and meat. We noticed that the meat was precooked before being added to the broth, so it was hard to tell if the meat was fresh. We also tried their jasmine green tea. I would avoid it as they just use a cheap tea bag in a teapot and charge $2 for it. We were impressed at their extensive Chinese menu and would like to revisit to try out some of those dishes!

I attached the paper that is taped on the front door, stating that they owe the city a lot of money in missing/late payments.

Overall: 3.7/5 [dine in]…read more Unfortunately this place is closing down on May 24, 2026 due to failed lease negotiations with the landlord. We made the drive up north to try it before they close since they carry some Vietnamese snacks that are hard to find in Austin. Their menu is extensive covering drinks, desserts, and snacks so it took us a while to decide on our order. All their drinks are lactose free which was great to hear. The staff was nice but it did take a while for everything to come out. Peppermint Pandan Latte / Sam Dua Bac Ha ($6.95) + Crystal Boba ($0.95): We got this at 75% sweet and it was delicious. You can distinctly taste both the peppermint and pandan and it was really refreshing. Matcha Lover ($8.75): We got this at 75% sweet as well. It is a matcha latte with matcha foam, matcha pudding, and matcha mochi. We were not huge fans of this one. The foam was really thick and creamy which made it hard to mix, and the drink had a strange taste that we think came from the flour on the matcha mochi. I think it would have been better if we had eaten the mochi off the top first before mixing everything together. Popcorn Chicken ($8.75): This was okay. They used a different type of batter than what I am used to and it was pretty bland. I didn't like the chili dipping sauce either. Taiwanese popcorn chicken is still way better to me. Mixed Soft Rice Paper With Full Topping / BT Phoi Suong Full Topping ($14): This was our first time having banh trang tron with dried meat and seafood toppings. It also came with a sliced hard boiled egg instead of quail eggs. Very interesting and different. I really wished it came with tamarind sauce because that was the one flavor I felt was missing and would have tied everything together. The portion size also felt a bit small for the price.
