First time at a Texan Vietnamese place, so temper reading my review with that in mind. Greeting was warm and friendly the moment I opened the door. Being a Sunday morning, I was the first one in, but the large, airy place gradually filled. I ordered my usual Pho with everything. And as they had sugar cane juice, I ordered up one of that too. The pho was huge. The soup was very hot, which helped to cook the raw slices that is necessary in a good pho to help flavor the broth. But the broth was so sweet that I had to take off a star and leave all the soup behind while I was eating the noodles. There was also a lot of meat. The balance of amount was definitely weighed towards the premium cuts although I prefer the cheaper tendon and tripe. Good for value and those who prefer meat. All the beef was very flavorful with good mouth feel. The raw slices cooked up beautifully tender. The sugarcane juice was a highlight. Delightfully fresh and delicious! If you've never had juice from a stick before, you need to try this! read more

I ordered delivery from Saigon 512 tonight. Everything came out beautifully. Hot, fresh, lots of veggies, and herbs. Loved the portion sizes. The spring rolls with tofu were tasty. The peanut sauce was great. The Pinapple fried rice had tons of flavor. My husband enjoyed the orange beef so much! We would absolutely order from here again and again. read more

Not sure if it was their off day on the day we went but their noodle soup items were not good. As a Vietnamese born and raised in Vietnam for 18 years, my standard for Vietnamese food is high. We tried this place after reading many positive reviews and we were disappointed. Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu don't have their own unique flavor as they're supposed to have. They seem to use the same broth for both and only add shrimp paste and some lemongrass in Bun Bo Hue. Bun Rieu doesn't have the subtle tanginess of the tomatoes and no crab aroma. My mom got Bun Rieu and had to squeeze a bunch of lime wedges in the broth. The only great thing about Bun Bo Hue is that they're very generous with the meat. You will have meat in every spoon and still have it until the last spoon. My husband and sister got Beef Pho - the pho broth is so sweet. Their menu has a lot of options for Chinese and Thai dishes, which is kind of a red flag to me. Sometimes the less, the better. Sticking to just Vietnamese cuisine and doing it well is much better than adding multiple options from different cuisines. Service is ok. They're efficient and do their job to take orders, bring your food out, and that's it. Don't expect them to come around and check if everything is ok. If you need anything, just ask. There's one lady that is very nice and sweet. The restaurant is bright and clean with lots of tables. I'd recommend them changing the music - they played all the very sad and heart broken Vietnamese songs in instrumental the day we were there. You may want to try their non soup items if you visit this place. read more

Okay, I came back to try other dishes and was pretty disappointed. Pho: Huge portion with lots of meat and noodles. However, the broth... it was sweet! Usually Pho from the south has a sweeter taste than from the North (I'm from the South), but this one is just too sweet and lacking in fragrant. The only save was the portion size. Bun Rieu: We also Bun Bo Hue and clearly they used the same broth for both dishes, which was very disappointing considering how different they should taste. Sliced pork (which is shouldn't to be in bun rieu), cha, rieu, and 2 pieces of boiled tomato that I feel like they just toss it in there. Bland and pretty sad Quick service, nice people. If you're Viet, you will be disappointed to have their Pho and Bun Rieu read more

The staff is super sweet and there is always ample parking and open tables inside. I can only speak to the PHO, as that is what I have recurrent purchased. The broth has had an 'off' flavor. It doesn't have the spice flavor profile I would expect. Granted, the bone broth may be different if offal meats/tendon etc are used in preparation. To a western palate it can border on gamey tasting, though i haven't tasted pho broth that is similarly muddy tasting. The veggies were sparse and the meat (brisket and flank) were alternately super fatty and too chewy. read more

"Want to meet for dinner?" Absolutely. "Where?" SAIGON 512, of course. Great service, fabulous food, quiet enough to talk. Recently they have added some new specials that sound great. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the new supplemental menu, but I was tired and hungry and was thinking only of how to decide what to eat. Love this place! read more

Saigon 512 - Pork chop in rice plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I appreciated they have some of the most authentic Viet dishes on their menu and I think they might be the only restaurant doing it alright in the area. We ordered Bot Chien and Bun Dau Mam Tom. Food was ok, not exceptional but still pretty ok with the price range. Bot Chien was missing the special sauce on the side and the vermicelli in Bun Dau was a bit dried and broken. The sauce and meat + tofu in Bun Dau were pretty good. Service was quick and friendly, they forgot the sauce for the Bot Chien but they gave us the sweet fish sauce which was ok too. The vibe was pretty nice, we went for lunch but I could imagine this place more busy and fun during dinner time. read more

This was a lovely Vietnamese restaurant with really fresh dishes that tasted just as good as they looked! We had several dishes and I didn't get to take photos fast enough! The flavors are perfect and slightly different from cookie cutter Vietnamese restaurants... meaning they don't get to cater to the flavors here but to the true authentic flavors of their specific area of Vietnam. I would definitely recommend anyone to come and try this. Plus the staff is very friendly and accommodating- even for big tables despite the small place. read more

Amazing Vietnamese food for north Austin!! Their menu is pretty extensive and has more than just pho. I came for the Banh cuon (rice rolls with ground meat) and it did not disappoint. By far the best I've had in Austin(many restaurants do not have). We also tried the Fish clay pot which comes with a small side of rice. Highly recommend both. We will be back to try more items on the menu. Dessert #87 is a must if you like coconut!!! read more

Saigon512 is hands down the best Vietnamese food around. In my opinion, they have absolutely no competition.

I've been genuinely sad since they temporarily closed for remodeling and can't wait for them to reopen. read more

This is my go to place for Vietnamese food in Round Rock, TX. When I eat at the restaurant I usually get the Canh Chua, a sour fish soup traditionally with catfish. I love how sour the soup is and the big filets of catfish they give you. I recently ordered take out from this place and loved the bun thit nuong, I had mixed feelings about the pad Thai. The flavor of the thing nuong was good and the vegetables were pickled well. The Pad Thai was a little too sweet and the noodles were very thick for pad Thai. read more

I was craving some very specific Vietnamese dishes and this place satisfied! The banh bot chien was nice and crispy, cooked to perfection. The canh chua had a balanced flavor and was a hefty portion even for a small. The bo luc lac was not as tender as I'd like, but that's because the beef cubes were a little large and more a medium temp, which was a nice treat. The sauce was the perfect sweetness. Bonus points for having sugar cane juice. The workers there were so sweet and provided excellent service. Will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Easy to see why this place is rated so very well and loved by many! It was a little busy for mid Sunday afternoon but we were greeted right away with smiles and Sat immediately with extensive menus in hand. The "Special" menu listed one of the items we ended up ordering and I cannot recall the exact name of the dish but I have it pictured here and it was explained as "Dry Pho" with crispy rice cakes and stewed beef in a delicious pho-like gravy it was accompanied by a small bowl of pho meatball. We also had a bowl of pho with choice of up to 3 meats and chose brisket, rare steak, and meatballs. All of it was amazing! The owner or possibly chef/creator brought the new dish out and explained more about it and that we were some of the first to try it and that it is only available there. It was a really nice family friendly place with large portions, reasonable prices, great service, and most importantly fresh delicious food. We will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Woahh Bun Rieu was very well flavored! Not bland at all like some of the reviews said. There was also blood sausage in there. The mini banh xeo was interesting because it's not your typical normal banh xeo crepe. Definitely crispier but didn't have as many toppings/not as thick as the original. I'm not sure which one I prefer more, it would depend on the day. Not a fan of the crispy century eggs, very strange. Banh bot chien was delicious!! Would definitely get again. So crispy with a nice scent of fried flour. Great service, they checked in on us often. read more

Food: The food was average. I had the Pho Meal Combo. The meat was cooked ok, the portions were big but there was nothing special. The pork dumplings were fried. They were cooked right, but I think they are not fresh at all. The friend Rice was yummy, most likely my favorite things from anything. Price: I think it was the average price. I guess we don't pay for the quality but the quantity they serve. Service: Little to no service. I asked for suggestions, and they were very indifferent and not helpful. They came once to refill water. Ambiance: It is good for a casual lunch and maybe a date. It is not a romantic place or anything like that but a calm ambiance. - read more

The deathbed hangovers that Saigon 512, its welcoming employees, and its comfy window booths has saved me from deserves 5 stars in itself. The banh khot is presented so beautifully, is crisp, and tastes great. Their pho is comforting with large portions. Banh bot chien serving is large and hits the spot. Love the vietnamese street food videos they play on the TVs. Really just nice Vietnamese vibes in the Round Rock area. read more

Replacing our beloved "Oh Ho" restaurant comes "SAIGON 512". Authentic Chinese food with a unique taste. Although the place had a nice crowd, almost 80% occupancy, we were seated right away and able to check their extensive menu. Service was great and the food quality was good. Mentally I kept comparing it to the previous restaurant so I'll have to visit again in order to be fair and provide an unbiased opinion. I found the location clean! Service was good and someone checked on us constantly. Plate portions were ample. Post Covid prices in effect. Find yourself in RoundRock for lunch or dinner, check them out. Michael C. read more

This restaurant was great and served one of the best bowls of pho that I've ever had! I'm not saying that just cause I was hungover, but genuinely was impressed with the flavor. I'm not usually drinking pho broth, but this broth was amazing. It wasn't too salty and had a really nice beef flavor. I grabbed the standard pho bowl that had all meats, tendon, tripe and meatballs. The MEATBALLS. They tasted homemade, with some black pepper and spices mixed into it. They were actually my favorite protein in the bowl. There was also SO MUCH MEAT. I couldn't even finish it, I felt like I kept digging more and more out. The restaurant was big and clean too. I can see a lot of large families being able to be seated here. I was also impressed with the service. You can tell it's family-owned, and different people checked on me while I was eating. It was really nice! I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

I live in the area so have seen this location turn over managements and owners at least 3 times. Well the saying third time is a charm applies here!

Saigon 512 - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I came to this location today with Thing Two after her Dr. appointment for a bit of lunch. We ordered a few things just because, let's talk about a few, shall we? Spicy Hunan (Shrimp) I generally prefer dishes prepared in this fashion as they are well known for their hot and spicy flavors, fresh aroma, and deep colors. I also prefer this style more so than Szechuan-prepared dishes as they have a less spicy flavor, and are usually only protein-based dishes with peppers. The dish served here was made with broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, snow peas, and cabbage. Although I did appreciate the plump shrimp in this dish, it missed the mark for me on a spiciness level. As a lover of spice, I would not order this dish if I came to this establishment again. Flan Cake This flan with Boba is a twist on the classic flan dish. The milk used for this dessert is infused with coconut to give it a familiar flavor and served with soft chewy boba. This flan cake is the ultimate flan recipe for coconut lovers and of all things sweet! Overall, the service here was prompt and friendly and the establishment has a nice aesthetic. The appetizer we ordered was good, yet the main course as far as spice and flavor profile could be improved upon. Good showing for a soft opening. read more

Found my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Austin! This place serves some traditional Vietnamese dishes that's hard to find in other pho places. Some of the dishes we tried are definitely close to what I've had when visiting Vietnam. Their Bahn Cuon and Bahn Xeo was really good. The star of the show was definitely the catfish soup that came beautifully presented, hotpot style. The crispy noodle they recommended was also terrific. Highly recommended. read more

Been twice already once they've settled a bit from grand opening and here are my thoughts. Firstly, the owners have been in Austin for 40 years and the original owners of Bep Saigon. They have both family style and street Vietnamese food and it's a good place to take a large group to try as many items on the menu as possible. They even have canh chua, CA kho for those days. Banh Khot ($12.99) is extra crispy and comes with a drizzle of coconut milk. The fish sauce is especially sweet here so ask for a squeeze of lime if you're not used to it. Banh Cuon ($15.99) is already difficult to find in itself. Their rolls are smaller but they do come with ground meat on the inside topped with well marinated shrimp and pork. The rolls were fresh and had the right chew to it. Bun Dau Mam Tom ($13.99) is extremely hard to find originating from North Vietnam. It comes with a variety of pork meats (ham, sausage, pork belly, etc.) all with a side of potent traditional shrimp paste. The flavors of the meat was good and it snagged up all the shrimp paste. Add rice paper if you want to make spring rolls out of the meat and vegetables. Pho Dac Biet ($16.95) was less sweet which is what some people are looking for. The noodles were nice and springy and the broth was nice and bold. Mi Thap Cam ($15.95) is the best in Austin in my opinion. It has the proper umami dried shrimp broth and the egg noodles are nice and thin. It came with all ingredients except for shrimp fritter but the shrimp, pork, crispy fat, ham and calami were cooked at the right texture. They have actually drip vietnamese coffee and not just the premixed ones. Only complaint I would have is their fish sauce mix is much sweeter than most. So request a lime if you would agree read more

Saigon 512 - Kid's Sweet and Sour Chicken, Pho (Brisket, Flank Steak, Beef Meatballs), and Cha Gio - Vietnamese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Wish I could give this place 10 stars!!!! Everything was so good and done right! First time trying Vietnamese food outside of the typical Pho and I was highly impressed. Food Wow, wow! Started with the Banh Knot and once I was shown how to set it up, it was incredible! From the crunch to the sweetness of the coconut milk and perfectly cooked shrimp. This along with the accoutrement was an excellent way to begin. Then onto to the Canh Ga Chien, went with the spicy tamarind sauce and these were cooked perfectly, as well. The sauce was a great combo of spicy/tangy/savory that paired well with the chicken. For an entrée, I suggest one of the vermicelli bowls because the meat has a certain marinade that I cannot pinpoint what's in it but it was a flavor I have not experienced before on beef. It just worked, beef was very tender, then you had the freshness of the cucumbers, carrots, the crunch from the bean sprouts and don't get me started on the fish sauce! Service She was so attentive, patient as we had some allergies at the table, and didn't rush us out even when they were closing. Ambiance Nice, cozy spot in a shopping center. wasn't too crowded inside as most people order takeout read more

Love this family friendly place with dishes you likely won't find elsewhere. The staff is lovely, always so welcoming and efficient. That said, I have found that the pho broths are getting increasingly sweet. A little sweetness is perfect for balance but this last bowl I had was practically sugary and I found it to be much less enjoyable than usual. Hoping they can use this feedback because I want to keep supporting them. read more
