    Dinner Menu 2026
    B B.

    I didn't see an updated dinner menu so I was a little surprised when I arrived that the prices seemed double what I expected. I must have been looking at a lunch menu online. The place was clean and was making big to go orders which I felt was a good sign. It was warm and friendly inside. I had the skirts on fire and was disappointed with the flavor and texture of the meal. I feel like the place smelled great and I'd like to give it another chance.

    Pho Tai and Vietnamese Egg Rolls

    We ordered Pho and Vietnamese egg rolls for delivery. Note they only offer ChowNow for delivery. The pho is good, but average. Egg rolls were nothing special, if not a little salty. Btw we've eaten other food here, dining in, and found it to be pretty good on average. But the delivery was terrible! Delivery was estimated at an hour, took and hour and 10 min. I had to pay a delivery fee, which was brokered through door dash. I HAVE A DOOR DASH SUBSCRIPTION! Because it took so long, all of our food was cold and had to be reheated. There's lots of choices for food and delivery - no reason for me to order from restaurants that only use ChowNow. Sadly, this restaurant is off the beaten trail and should be doing what they can to keep/get customers. ChowNow just ruined it for me.

    this place is consistently delicious !! the staff is super friendly every time my family and i visit and the food is great :) love this restaurant

    We came in from Houston to stay and passed this place. Growing up with Thai food as a staple means it's hard to find good comfort food. At first we were gonna take our food to go but the staff was incredibly welcoming and we decided to slow down and stay. I'm so glad we did. The service was wonderful. The food. Oh god the food!! Spring rolls and dumplings came out and were divine. We both ordered the num tok. When I say this is one of the best num toks we've had in probably ten years. One of the most relaxing dining experiences we've had in a long time. Will be making the drive from Houston as much as possible lol.

    Cashew tofu

    A hidden gem indeed. We have been to tens of thai places and many Vietnamese places too but we have never seen the tom yum noodle soup on any of these menus and the one at Saigon is delicious. The cashew chicken and other thai regulars are pretty good too.

    Pad Kee Mao, was supposed to be spicy but it was sweet:((

    We went with high expectations because of all the positive reviews, so was disappointed, food was good, but not something you wanna go back again, especially if you live far!! We went for a long drive and decided to try SC, because of all the reviews, we got seated as soon we entered, just one family were dining in, the place itself is underwhelming, chairs are dirty and it's so dim and unappealing. We ordered green curry, pad kee mao and Vietnamese Coffee. Green curry was good, I asked them not to add eggplants, and oh boy, they had added so much veggie, especially green beans, it was more than half of curry and it's absolutely raw, curry itself was good. Pad kee mao: it says spicy on menu and my husband requested extra spicy but still it was on sweeter side. Vietnamese Coffee: this was very good, but the phin, glass, everything need a good wash badly:(( I think they're more popular for there pho, so I don't recommend for Thai dishes, but maybe give it a try for pho!!

    Charcoal pork and egg roll
    Rolando N.

    Small place tucked away on Hudson Bend. The food here is simple and delicious. A very nice place for a great meal in Lakeway. We had the Saigon curry and the Charcoal pork with egg roll during lunch. Portions were huge. Big bowls of vermicelli with vegetables and meat. The food was well prepared and full of Vietnamese flavors. We really enjoyed this and will be back. Service was friendly and super prompt.

The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.

Both broths were rich and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. My Bun Bo Hue came with a beef rib that was tender and delicious. One unique thing was the noodles in the Sip pho bowl--they were slightly thicker than vermicelli, which was different but not a big deal. For drinks, I ordered the Matcha Green Thai Tea. It had an interesting flavor combination, but the matcha taste was a bit overpowered by the green Thai tea. It was still enjoyable, though slightly too floral and sweet for my personal preference. The prices were very reasonable, and they offered a great variety of pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Next time I visit, I'd love to try the egg rolls since I noticed many people ordering them. The only downside was parking. There are about six spots in front of the restaurant, with additional parking in the back. It was a little difficult to find a spot, likely because we visited on a weekend.
