Their menu is huge and I wish I could've ordered more but I knew we couldn't finish it. You know a Chinese restaurant is authentic when there's duck blood and pig's feet.

You order at the counter and they deliver the food table side. No frills on the service, which is why it's affordable. We ordered: pork XLB, pan fried pork and shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes, steamed pork buns, and suan tsai spicy beef noodles. The suan tsai spicy beef noodles with pickled greens stole the show. WOW. Perfect amount of heat in a flavorful broth. The pickled greens really balanced out the heat in the perfect way. I could eat this every day and be happy. Noodles were thick and perfectly cooked. I was inhaling the soup and scallion pancakes (also incredible) and left the XLB sitting too long. By the time I got to them, the slightly thicker wrapping had absorbed all the soup. Still good flavor though! The pan fried dumplings were also good, but just overshadowed by the soup in my opinion. I didn't try the steamed buns (not typically my jam), and my husband said the bun itself was great, but the meat needed some flavor. Nothing to photograph as we ate almost everything! I'll be dreaming about the pickled soup tonight as I roll into bed.

I ordered this to go style and was a little bit worried I was still going to be hungry. I mean,…read morejust 6 soup dumplings sound like they can go down pretty fast. And as an appetizer at that lol . But way to prove me wrong because these were nice and hearty. The wrapper itself was a bit thicker than others I've tried and the protein inside was nice and hearty. There wasn't as much soup in all of the Dumplings but I feel ordering to go might have not done it justice. Flavor was rich and serving size was just right.

The beef pieces are super tender and the texture of the hand-pulled noodles gets me every time! We wanted to try a couple of new items so we ordered their version of the beef scallion pancake role and it was surprisingly refreshing with the generous amount of cucumber slices while still maintaining a crispy, airy crunch and just the right amount of savory hoisin flavor -- paired nicely with the noodles! The Pan Fried Pork & Shrimp Buns surprisingly contained a surplus of soup even though the bottoms were perfectly pan fried. Please watch out when you take the first bite because soup went bursting out the other end with one of the buns LOL. You don't need a side of sauce for the buns because the meat and soup are flavorful enough. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the meal and already looking forward to the next visit! :)

These are ALWAYS, freshly-made, hand-pulled noodles made in house every single day. They are DELICIOUS! If you want authentic, thick, wide noodle dishes, look no further! Chen's got you. Spicy beef noodle soup, green onion pancakes, pan fried dumplings, hot oil seared noodles, spicy lamb noodle, sesame pockets, etc. All of these dishes I've had myself dozens of times. My wife loves the sesame pockets, and my kids could eat two whole servings of the pan fried dumplings in like five minutes. They're always excited to get Chen's noodle house and can't wait to go again. Quality is always there! Again, noodles are authentic and freshly made from scratch.

I've both dined in and ordered takeout, rarely ever waiting that long on my food. If I ever did, it was always because it was so packed and busy. Even then, it's worth the wait!

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.

Don't overlook this casual Vietnamese gem in the North University area. Visited for a casual weeknight dinner and found the place bustling, but the line moved swiftly. You order at the counter, receive a number, and your food arrives promptly. The menu offers reasonably priced options ranging from Pho and Banh Mi to vegan dishes. I opted for the Pho Wagyu, which was deliciously satisfying and generously portioned. Parking may require a bit of circling for street spots, but it's worth it to return for their delectable Pho! read more

I ordered the Wagyu pho and it honestly exceeded expectations, the broth was rich, piping hot, and packed with flavor and the wagyu was definitely delicious and had great marbling. You can tell a lot of care goes into it. My pho was at the table within minutes, which I didn't expect for something that tastes so slow-simmered. The portions were super generous, and the service was genuinely friendly and welcoming. This is easily one of the best bowls of pho I've had. Definitely coming back. read more

I visited this spot during a tour of Austin with a friend, and it did not disappoint. The interior is gorgeous, and the food was excellent--you can really never go wrong with pho. You order at the register up front, and they bring the food to your table later, which is super convenient. They also have water jugs you can bring to your table on your own, which is a nice touch. The portion sizes were generous, and overall, I can see why this place is an Austin staple. read more

I occasionally visit this restaurant, but this experience was unacceptable. The restaurant closes at 9 PM, and we arrived at 8:30 PM. It was freezing outside, 7°C with strong winds.

My biggest issue isn't the quality of the food--it's the portions. I ordered two vermicelli bowls with grilled pork, and I was honestly shocked by how little pork came with each order. It genuinely felt like they picked out the tiniest pieces of pork they could find, and I ended up with SO many noodles left over because there just wasn't enough meat to balance everything out. I think that's what disappointed me the most. One of the things I love about Vietnamese food is that it's usually such an incredible value. The portions are typically generous, the prices are affordable, and you leave feeling really satisfied. Here, I felt like I was paying quite a bit for a meal that just didn't feel very substantial. Overall, I still think the food itself tastes good, which is why I'd probably order again if I was really craving it. I just really wish they were a little more generous with the portions because I don't think the value quite matches the price. If they increased the amount of grilled pork, I'd probably enjoy this place SO much more!
