I got the cheesy potato, chicken tortilla, and French onion. I'm normally not a French onion fan, but I'd get it again. As soon as I walked in the associate greeted me with a smile, how refreshing. She had it put together so quick it made my head spin. I'll be back!

On the menu it says for couple bucks more you can make it a combo with chips and a drink. Maybe really need to emphasize to you want "CHIPS AND DRINK" because when I asked to make it a combo I wasn't charged for it and ended up leaving without it. I just smiled and said no worries and left. There's not a lot going on in this place. There's a handful of tables in the front, you place your order at a counter in the back. Some of the items on their menu they don't even have so I guess they have a chalkboard of what they do have. Maybe it's just random every day I don't know. The portions aren't great, it's overpriced, and they don't even take your order correctly. The overall experience leaves much to be desired. Regrets.

We really enjoyed our mulligatawny and texas chili soups. The basil pesto grilled cheese was…read moreexcellent too, with stringy, stretchy cheese and nicely grilled sliced bread. The kale caesar with sliced parmesan and whole cherry tomatoes was good and had a light caesar dressing on the side. We also got the afternoon delight and my favorite, the iced golden mylk (yes, with a "y"). Oat milk based with a variety of spices of which the tumeric gives it the yellowy-golden hue. We loved the Soup Peddler and would go back again to try their other menu items (it's a large menu and you are sure to find more than a few things to your liking)! It's a walk up window with outdoor tables; friendly service!

They were giving out free smoothie samples with three options: mango OJ, strawberry & banana, and banana PB. Their smoothies aren't very sweet and overall pretty basic. The mango & orange one was too icy, so it was hard to sip. The banana & peanut butter mostly tasted like peanut butter, but it wasn't too thick, which I liked. They also let you spin a wheel for a prize which was fun. Parking can be difficult during rush hour so I recommend ordering for take out. My parents bought an 8 oz cup of the chicken soup with rice. It was actually really good and packed with ingredients. It's something I would gladly eat on a cold winter day. I definitely liked their soups a lot more than their smoothies.

The first time I came the line for lunch was long and took a little while to get our food about 30mins. This second time I came in we were able to walk right in and order our food! The cashier was friendly and quick. For my vegetarians this place has food that is healthy, vegetables heavy AND DOESN'T lack flavor. Another cool thing about the restaurant is that the menu rotates due to the utilization of local grown foods in the area.

Let me start by saying we drove over an hour to get here and the hand pies were more than worth it…read more We got the following hand pies and rolls: steak slice, chicken pot pie slice, jalapeño sausage roll, spiced lamb roll, and ham & Munster pie. Every single one of them...simply awesome!!! Even when I had done the next day warmed up, still amazing! My wife and son got lemon bars, millionaires shortbread and peach cobbler scones and they were also very good. My only complaint and why this isn't a five star review is because they pretty much had one person making coffee and taking/delivering orders. There were two other employees there while this was happening, but one guy was on his phone until he saw the entire line looking at him before he skulked off to the back and another person washing pans. She was busy but when she finished, she just stared at the line and then walked to the back as well. I get people may not be trained for every job, but this poor girl getting slammed and doing everything herself needed help. At least pretend to ask. An older gentleman walked in and went behind the counter, surveyed the line, checked a pastry fridge to make sure that it was stocked up, went to back briefly and walked out. No one ever helped the poor girl at the front counter. Food is amazing, but you may be waiting quite a while to order if they keep this up. Will we return....heck yes. I just hope they get the front area more help.

I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. 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.

RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.
