Tried Sip Pho for the first time and had a great experience. As soon as we walked in, the restaurant felt very clean with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. You place your order at the front before being seated, which was an easy process. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and my husband ordered the Sip Pho. 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. Overall, I would definitely come back again. read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

After a long hot day, my friends and I were fiending for Viet food and stumbled upon Sip Pho. You order at the counter before getting a table number. The service was good. The restaurant was busy especially since it's so close to UT. I got the vermicelli with lemongrass beef. My friends ordered vermicelli with both beef and short rib, beef bao, and pho. This was my first time having vermicelli with fried egg, but I liked it. The meat tasted like teriyaki beef jerky which I was fine with.The portions were pretty big too, so I had a good amount of leftovers to take home. They have a little sauce bar in case you need extra fish sauce like I usually do. My friends had no complaints about their food and thought it was decent! Sip Pho was good but nothing special in my opinion. I'd probably skip this spot next time I'm in Austin. read more

I was excited to try this place. I got the sip pho which is a combo beef. All this type of beef are not chewable and super rough, not sure what's the yellow part on the beef. When I asked the server, the server said you got a combination you will get this type of beef. The attitude is not what I expected. Like I ordered a combo, I must get some bad meat in there? Not sure what's the yellow part and why the beef is so rough. Ambiance is fine. The little fan decoration on the ceiling is cute. Disappointed at the food. read more

Came dinner time right before a football game so there wasn't a wait. You order at the front. They were pretty quick with bringing out the food and I like the self serve bar for the sides. This is a good pho with some differences from a traditional bowl of pho. The noodles are a bit thicker and the rare steak leans more thick and has more of a chew. You could also ask for chili oil. The building is beautiful and gives the experience a little more than casual dining. read more

I love trying new pho places. After a day of thrifting, this place hit the spot. The cucumber fountain drink was so refreshing and light for a hot summer day. It was easy to order, the portions are large, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Service was great! If we lived closer, we would dine here more often. read more

Came here and got the Sip Pho combo. Really solid bowl, especially for being so close to campus. The broth was flavorful, clean, and comforting, and the portion felt just right. They have a UT student discount if you show your ID, which is a nice bonus. You order at the counter and self serve your own water and drinks, so everything feels quick and casual. The vibes are very nice and aesthetic, clean and modern without feeling too busy. read more

Sip Pho - Sip Pho Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food: I got the waygu Pho, personally I loved it. Meat looked great before we put it in the pho, very good quality. Broth is great and tons of sauces you can add to the pho. Noodles don't even compare slurp right down the gullet. Tons of different plants in my soup I didn't even know the names of. Overall a 7/10 Service: service was great, food came out fast, wonderful lady at the desk explained to me how to order my first pho. 6/10 Ambiance: the vibe in here is super chill, kind of like cafeteria style tables but don't feel like I'm sitting with a bunch of random people. Hand sanitizer everywhere to keep your hands clean. 7/10 read more

Just got dinner from here for the first time and ordered the beef pho and it was delicious! I got the rare steak for my protein and it was pretty good. The broth was great and I loved how they had an area with extra limes and toppings for the pho. The restaurant was very unassuming from the outside so I was very surprised by how cute it was when we walked in. Service was also very good and our food came out super fast! read more

Absolutely loved this place!! Everything we ordered was so good, but the Wagyu pho really stood out super rich, flavorful broth and the beef just melts in your mouth. The brisket pho was also great, comforting and packed with flavor. Crab rangoons were obviously amazing as well. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The place is super cute on the outside and inside as well. This is definitely going into my regular rotation whenever I'm craving pho. Can't wait to come back soon!!! read more

Sip Pho - Pho with brisket, Wagyu pho, crab rangoons - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

A classic Pho staple right near campus. Although I'm not always craving this place, it does hit the spot eventually on rainy days which are the only times I come. I always get their seafood pho which has generous helpings of seafood. The broth is slightly bland but that can be easily remedied with sriracha and hoisin. I've tried their rangoons and bbq buns and those were actually really amazing. The bbq pork was marinated really well and cooked amazingly. The only downside is that the items are slightly pricey. read more

Service was quick and great! The pho was incredible; the broth was so flavorful and delicious. We got the chicken wonton works pho, the beef flank pho, and the brown sugar boba- everything was SO good. The noodles are thicker and soak up the broth really well, it definitely adds to how flavorful it is. Will be coming back! Cute setting too, but seating for larger groups may be more difficult depending on how busy they are. read more

Sip Pho - grill bowl lemongrass beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Craving Pho and made a stop here on a Saturday a little before 2pm. Parking is terrible but if you can walk or find a spot it's definitely worth it. Ordered the waygu pho and the vermicelli short ribs. Got seated inside and we were served very promptly. First out was the pho waygu. The waygu portion was very sizable which for the price was appropriate. Cooked directly how you like in the steaming bowl of broth. The meat was fresh and tender, the broth was spiced beautifully. Very rich and flavorful. The short ribs were also delicious, albeit served not at the same time. Marinated in a sweet savory sauce, slightly chewy but this did NOT detract from the overall deliciousness of the dish. Heaping portions of both. The place is an order at the counter, served at the table spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Kinda tight on room inside but still an OK set up. The prices are def not poor college kid prices, over $50 for our two dishes but again, banging flavors and huge portions so worth it if you come hungry and are craving some great Vietnamese food. read more

At first I was skeptical about this place due to the nice vibes (iykyk) and the location, but I was wrong!!! Their pho is cooked right and has a great balance of beef bones and appropriate spices. I also got their cafe sua da and that was also very good (strong). I wanna try their BBH next time as it looked pretty darn tasty too. I would be a regular here! read more

Sip Pho is the spot! Came here on a Sunday during brunch hours after a night of drinking, and this place hit the spot! We ordered the pork egg rolls, "The Works" Pho (Pho Dac Biet for us Viet folks), Bun Bo Hue, and Vietnamese Coffee. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The quality of the food and portion size was worth it. The Bun Bo Hue came with a huge short rib, and had meat normally found in Pho. It was unique to see and very tasty. Located near UT- Austin, so generally had a younger crowd as well as local families wanting to enjoy delicious Pho. You order at the counter and then seat yourself after. Chill atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely recommend this place and will be back! read more

Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] There's limited parking in front of the restaurant, but we were lucky to snag a spot right out front. To dine in, you order at the counter first; they'll then assign you a table and give you a table number. The food came out fairly quickly, and the portion sizes were generous but it was lacking the Vietnamese authenticity we were looking for. The interior design is very cozy with cool hanging paper fans. Rice Grill Combo ($18): You get to choose two proteins; we picked the pork chops and beef short ribs. It also comes with a side of light broth. The short ribs were better than the pork chops, but overall, the dish didn't really stand out. Matcha Thai Tea with Aloe Vera Jelly ($6.50) + Oat Milk Sub ($0.50): Pretty good! It had that distinct green Thai tea flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. The aloe vera jelly made it especially refreshing. Banh Mi Pork Belly ($11): This was a massive sandwich--I was full after just half. The pork belly was flavorful and well-marinated, though a bit on the salty side. While the sandwich was loaded with fresh veggies, it didn't quite come together as a cohesive bite. The pork belly was overpowering and threw off the balance. We actually thought the pork belly would've worked better as a rice dish than in a banh mi. read more

Delicious pho and banh mi served in an inviting bright room with reasonable acoustics at a good price. The staff are friendly and helpful. My shrimp and chicken were somewhat overcooked... but given the heat of the broth, this was inevitable. Consider this when you select your protein. This is a fine place to dine on your own. I was so hungry that I forgot to take photographs. There are four or five parking spots in front of the restaurant and a few behind, but don't even think of parking next-door at Kabobzi's. They tow. read more

The pho there is fantastic, albeit not the most "authentic", though still delicious. It's also great that UT students get 10% off. However, the customer service there is quite awful, with little to no actual service, attitude from workers, and messy (dirty) table bussing before each customer is sat. read more

Always go to first spot for me and Austin. Affordable fresh and yummy always. Also try the Boba. It's a very clean spot where you can always guarantee to have a table. read more

Great food here. The parking is kind of a nightmare but the pho can't be beat. Enjoyed the spring rolls too. Will be back for more.

Sip pho is my go to place for all my Vietnamese cravings. It is clean, consistent, delicious, and fast service. Whether I take my food to go or eat there, I have not had a negative experience nor an issue with my food. I've had the pho, the sandwiches, the appetizer - this will continue to be an easy place to grab a quick lunch, no fuss. read more

This place is a staple for UT students. It hits the spot when you are craving pho and don't wanna drive (if you live near campus), however, the pho is just okay. You order at the counter and get a number to put on your table. The interior is cute, and there are plenty of tables read more

drove 30min out of the way to try this spot but did not get to eat. Staff did not want to seat our group, which is weird because you order at the register then sit down to wait for your food. We were willing to sit separately and there was plenty of open tables. After a little back and forth with multiple staff we left. I personally don't like to stay at a place where staff doesn't want us there. Do better be nicer to families and groups of more then 2 people especially since we were willing to sit where ever you put us and not all together. I only put 1 star because it wasn't willing to post without one read more

GO TO THIS PLACE!!! - super cute location near lots of thrift stores/ restaurants - staff were friendly and food reasonably priced (soda, beef broth pho bowl, and egg rolls cost me around $21) - service was SO quick, I mean like we had all our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Amazing - food was DELISH and huge portions. I barely finished half my meal and was pretty hungry beforehand. Definitely recommend. Don't miss out. read more

This Beef Rib Pho is legit everything. Gotta say, Sip Pho is my solid go-to whenever that pho craving hits hard. The vibe inside is always chill--super clean and modern, so you can just relax and focus on the food. I came in today because I was having one of those days and needed something seriously comforting to treat myself. I already knew what I was getting before I even sat down. Okay, let's talk about the Beef Rib Pho because, wow. You guys, the beef rib is HUGE. Like, comically big in the best way possible, and the meat is so tender it just falls apart if you look at it too hard. It melts right into the broth, which is legit fantastic--super rich and flavorful but still clean and not greasy. You get all the fresh basil, sprouts, and lime on the side to deck it out however you want. Honestly, this isn't your average bowl of pho; this is the one you get when you want to indulge. It's why I keep coming back here every now and then. The quality is always on point, and it hits the spot every single time. If you're looking for a next-level pho that feels like a big warm hug, this is it. Seriously. read more

College patrons, high quality Vietnamese food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, modern seating. Highly recommend.

As a UT Austin student, Sip Pho is within walking distance of campus and gives 10% off to students. It's convenient and good for a quick vietnamese food fix. Fast service and you get your food fast. Usually busy, so there may be a line. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Quick eats kinda ambiance. I've tried many things off their menu: Pho The Works - it is their beef pho with EVERYTHING in it. I'd go with just their choose 2 meat option and do their filet mignon and brisket or meatballs. The rest is like tendon, tripe, and fatty stuff. Bahn Mi - Decent size, good portion, good flavors, nothing too standoutish but pretuu to good! Cream Cheese Rangoon - They were big and good! But i don't know if id get it again. Egg rolls - again it was good, nice appetizer read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

The combination pho bowl is my go-to choice when it comes to pho restaurants, and I felt like the restaurant used high-quality meat for my dish! The brisket and rare steak were lean and in general, the overall ratio between the meat and noodles met my expectations. The rice noodles that they use are a bit wider than the standard rice noodles that come with other pho restaurants, so that was a nice surprise! They have an unlimited side bar where you can grab extra toppings like lime wedges, cilantro, red onions, etc. which I really appreciated. The only thing I would caution is their limited parking spots -- there's some parking in front of the restaurant and some additional parking spots in the back through the alleyway, but in general, space is tight. Please be careful of parking spots that belong to other stores (watch for tow signs), because I've heard they actually do end up towing vehicles parked incorrectly. read more

Sip Pho - Combination Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very very cute interior. I got the pho with brisket and flank steak as well as the bun bo hue and egg rolls. Egg rolls 2/5 I'm not sure if it's because I lost my sense of taste because I'm under the weather but it had no flavor. 2 dollars per egg rolls that are mid in flavor is a sin in my opinion. Pho is okay nothing crazy. The noodles have a nice texture. The bun bo hue also wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to and it's pretty oily. However there is a lot of meat which is nice. Food came out SUPER fast. I have pretty high standards for Vietnamese food and this just wasn't it for me. The boba looked good though! read more

Visited 23rd of February '25. The good: One of the better Vietnamese placed around campus. I loved how deep and smooth the beef pho w/ seafood was when I got it and I can tell that their servers really care about service. The bad: Really busy especially on weekends. There was a long line that made it out the back door, and when our party of 6 got to the counter, we had to wait a while to get seated. read more

Our empty-ah plates should be indicative of the absolute deliciousness that SIP PHOTO humbly boasts, not a stones throw away from some of Austin's most elite and accessible thrifting. Not only were we delighted by the open formatting of the seating area, but we were pleased with how inclusive this establishment is to all living things. They do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, or species. So, if you want to enjoy a nice meal alongside your squiggly and squinchy friend Mag(gie), this is totally the place. 10/10 pho bowls. read more

Line to sit inside can be long especially during peak hours, so it might be hard for large parties more than 4-5. It's very cozy/modern with both inside and outdoor seating. Water and condiments are self serve. The service is good and the staff are friendly every time I have been. We both got the beef pho, one with rare steak/tripe the other with rare steak/flank. Portions are not as large as some other pho places I have been to in Houston but pretty good for Austin. You can walk from wampus/campus to it and you also can get a student discount. They also give you mint, limes, bean sprout, and mint to add to your pho. Overall, I think this is the best pho place near campus! read more

Sip Pho - Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I ordered the bun bo hue and had a really concerning experience. I understand this dish is supposed to have a strong, complex flavor with ingredients like lemongrass and sometimes a hint of pineapple, along with fermented shrimp paste--but this tasted completely off. The broth was overwhelmingly dominated by a harsh shrimp smell and flavor, with none of the balance I expected. There was no lemongrass aroma, no brightness, just an intense, almost unpleasant shrimp taste that made it hard to eat. Shortly after trying it, I started feeling nauseous and had noticeable stomach discomfort. I couldn't continue eating. I'm not sure if this was due to improper preparation or ingredient quality, but it definitely didn't feel right. This experience made me seriously question the food quality and safety here. Even bold, traditional dishes should still taste balanced and not make customers feel physically unwell. I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering again unless this is addressed. read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Sip Pho is my parents favorite Vietnamese restaurant for the bun Bo hue and it is definitely our favorite in Austin area. We usually come to sip pho for this specific dish. This time that we went, the bun Bo hue was skimping in meat which was not the norm. There was tons of noodles and the portion between meat/noodle was completely off balanced. That was disappointing. The grilled beef vermicelli bowl was terrible. Fish sauce was not well balance. The beef was under seasoned and noodles were cold and a bit hard. I do not recommend this dish. I don't think I've liked this dish every time I ordered it. Do I recommend this place? Yes for the bun Bo hue when they put the normal balance of meat and noodles. read more
