Their food is amazing. I've been here once before and had the Pho and didn't review it. This time I got the grilled pork and rice. The pork had an amazing flavor and the rice was really nice. It was a ton of food, easily enough for two meals. One thing that makes good asian food stand out from not-so-good is the length of time it takes from order to getting your food. I actually appreciate that the food at Tan My takes a little longer to come out because that means they're cooking it when you order it. It's not a standard set of items that they tweak seasoning on and it all tastes relatively similar - there is a real attention to detail. A great experience and I'll be back when I'm in the area! read more

Much has been said so I'll keep this brief and to the point: Excellent Pho. Decent everything else. The steaming bowl came with thin medium steak that cooked while in the broth. Very nice. Combo fried rice was good as well. Wonton soup was just ok and the spring roll was not great at all. But come here for the Pho and leave a happy camper. read more

Came back after almost a 2 year hiatus because I heard and read this place had the best vermicelli bowls in town. Simply put, yes they do. Get the #40 with pork or #41 with beef. Everything about it was delicious. The portion size was huge, the egg rolls crispy and tasty, perfect amount of fresh veggies, and the pork was delectable, although a bit on the sweet side. Pour the fish sauce in and mix it up and you have basically an awesome salad. Perfect for a hot Austin night. The pho here however is decent but I wouldn't say the best. A little skimpy on the meat and the broth was lacking something we couldn't quite put our finger on. I thought maybe it was lacking the star anise or clove flavor that we are accustomed to in pho broth. This place probably has the best service of any Asian restaurant I've been to. The girl working both cashier and waitress was super friendly, food came out lightning quick, and the prices are very reasonable. Overall top tier for Austin Vietnamese cuisine. read more

BEST PHO IN AUSTIN! If you are looking for high quality Vietnamese food, this is your place. Nothing fancy, just amazing food. When judging pho, you should start with the broth and Tan My has, without a doubt, the best pho broth I've ever had. My go to is the bbq pork pho with egg noodles... AMAZING! Truthfully, I don't think I have ever been less than extremely happy with anything I have ever ordered from this spot. If you are a pho lover, do yourself a favor and get to Tan My as fast as possible. read more

A new hole-in-the-wall favorite for me! Found out about this place through a friend, and loved it! This place is kinda small and in a corner-ish place, where you wouldn't really think twice about passing. But their customer service is on point, and their pho is really good as well. When it rains, I think of pho. When I think of pho, I think of rain. Recently I was pouring down cats and dogs in Austin, and a friend and I decided to spontaneously get some pho from here. I wasn't disappointed at all. The pho is really clean, broth wise. Most pho places have a really greasy/oily pho broth, and you can see the oil rise up on top of the liquid, which is kinda bleh for me. But Tan My's broth is really clear and tastes pretty clean too. Their meat isn't bad, but it's kinda different than most pho places, because other places give you lots of small pieces of meat (for the eye round steak/pho tai), but here, they give you a couple of large pieces. I usually get the same type of pho no matter where I go--the eye round steak with meatballs. Honestly, their meat is not my favorite (both steak and meatballs), but it's not bad at all. Mainly I eat pho for the soup, so if the soup is good, the pho is good for me. Also, the customer service here is really great. Because it's such a small place, the staff comes up pretty frequently to make sure that you're good on water or whatever else it is that you need. It might be possible that it was because it was pouring and no one else was there, but service was great. It's definitely worth the drive (10-15 minutes) for me. read more

Tan My - Pho Tai with meatballs - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Support your favorite local restaurant! Been craving their fresh Pho with lean steak. I always feel full but healthy from all the veggies they add. They are super fast as always. I order by phone just before I step out of the door. read more

. This place has always been at the top of my referred list as far as pho goes. Minh's Cafe comes close, but no dice. Must. get. egg rolls. I usually get the no. 10. It's taken me a while to adjust my condiment levels but now that I know it's 1 part bacteria laden red jar and 2 parts hoisin with a lime, I tried to move on. I wasn't crazy- but not deterred- about the non pho items, such as the no.44 and the 55 c. But the part that gets me most is the staff. Long story short, as the result of a crazy ex's threats via cell phone, I began discreetly crying in the middle of the restaurant. The owner came up to me and asked if I was ok. I lied and told him the soup was too hot, to which he immediately tried to take the bowl away to replace it. I felt weird at the joke and convinced him it was all ok but Jesus! How freaking nice was that? I would totally go back there if I weren't so embarrassed about public displays of emotion.. :( . read more

The broth here is great, the meat is good quality and you can add steamed vegetables. These are the main factors I look for in a good pho place and Tan My had all three. The atmosphere was a little "divey" which was fine, but when we tried the not so "fresh" spring rolls they were very rubbery , had terrible taste and we found a bug on one of them to boot. They were likely sitting out uncovered somewhere for quite some time. Since the rolls were an appetizer we were a little hesitant to eat the pho when it came out, keeping an eye out for more bugs. We very discreetly told the waitstaff what we had found and the owner came to apologize, however he didn't discount our meal or anything. The pho really was good and we wanted to return despite our concerns about their cleanliness. So we checked the Austin city website to see their health inspection grades hoping it would make us comfortable enough to return, but unfortunately the scores were less than ideal. Hence, we have yet to return. read more

One of my friends suggested this hidden gem of a pho place and we checked it out on Sunday at around 1 PM. It was packed, but there was a single table open. The wait staff hurriedly helped us pull up an extra chair, and got us waters immediately. The menu is no nonsense, and prices are reasonable. I had the #9 pho with brisket and eye round steak and it was out of this world good. The noodles and broth were perfect. The place was very busy, but the food came out quick, and our waters were never more then half empty. I will be back anytime I am in the area. Might be some of the best pho in Austin. read more

My family often convened in this restaurant for special occasions, because the experience is so lovely. This small niche in the wall has some extremely friendly staff and delicious Vietnamese food that will leave your taste buds ecstatic. Appetizers: The spring roles are all good, and the sauce is something else. The sauce is some type of sweet peanut concoction that is addictive. Entrees: My favorite has always been the charcoal-broiled pork Vermicelli (I have had the dish every time due to it's deliciousness). The dish comes with bean sprouts, green onions, carrots, noodles, and tangy sauce. My family often also gets the spring roles. My parents also enjoy the bird's nest, a very unique and delectable dish. Drinks: I normally drink water, but like to leech of my Dad's coffee... they have a sweet coffee that is out of this world. read more

I grew up in Austin and I have tried a lot of Vietnamese places and this restaurant is my favorite in town. Quick service and yummy food. I like their pho bowles because I can add extra veggies and other things to it so I can get everything I want! Family owned so it is the same individuals working there all the time! I always recommend this place when out-of-towners ask me what they need to try while in Austin. 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

Yup. That's some good pho. Too bad they don't take credit cards. I had to leave my meal to go to the ATM. I'll be back with cash in hand. Yup. read more

Best pho I've had in Austin so far. I'm from a small suburban city up north where Vietnamese food is in the reign--there is literally a Vietnamese diner on every corner, so I've definitely missed my own cultural food from home. This is probably the closest I've gotten to good pho in Austin, haha. Tan My is in the more suburban area of Austin, and walking inside is a reminder of a very typical Vietnamese restaurant. The broth has a lot of flavor, though it's a little on the sweeter side (I prefer mine with a deeper, more herb-y taste, if that translates at all), and it's clear--meaning it's good and not too unhealthy! The portions are really big, and I got a small--I was so full by the time I [almost] finished. If you're looking for a good bowl of pho, Tan My definitely hits the spot. read more

Best pho in Austin! I got the Pho Tai and the egg rolls. Both were awesome. Pho Tai had a delicious flavorful broth, very tender and rare beef that cooks while in the soup. The egg rolls tasted like they were made in house and were served with lettuce for wrapping and (my favorite) fish sauce. These were the closest I've come to Kim's Dragons' spring rolls in Pittsfield,MA. Unfortunately Kim's has been closed for some time.. Portions are also very reasonable. The decor and service aren't amazing, but who cares? The food is awesome. Actually the service was pretty good, just no frills. You know you're in a good Pho place when the pictures on the walls are blown up snapshots of the owners kids. read more

Looks are deceiving. This place blends in the the many strip malls in the area so it's not the easiest to find. Not sure if it's the safest area, but hey, if it's a place with great food who cares about safety?! We ordered the 55B (Spicy basil flat noodle with shrimp, beef and chicken) and a bowl of vermicelli (the one with egg rolls and chicken) One word: Outstanding! Both plates were portioned right, and had tons of flavour. I really love how the three proteins went really well with each other. I was quite impressed as ordering non-pho plates at a pho place can get you in trouble usually, but no mistakes were made here! Speaking of pho, there were a variety of pho options that seemed very nice. I would be back to try some of it! The service: amazed by the service. our waiter came and checked on us a lot without being annoying. He kindly asked if we preferred forks over chopsticks (that was a first) and provided us with water when we first walked in! Excellent service Price: before tip, we paid less than 20 dollars. The portions are on the larger side so the prices are just right for the given quality. I look forward to trying this place again! I am very curious to how the spicy pho is! read more

Tried bún bò huê for the first time ever. The soup had a spicy kick to it. My first choice at restaurants usually isn't something spicy, but I find myself craving this on random days. Besides the chewy noodles, there were also pork blood, pork bones, and various fatty meats in the soup. Nothing screams authenticity like a bowl of soup with minimal oil and lots of ingredients in it! With an inexperienced tongue for bún bò huê, I wasn't sure if it was really good for Vietnamese standards. My friend tried it to confirm. Muy fantastico! read more

Most authentic pho restaurant in Austin, classic casual pho shop vibe. The dry egg noodle with won ton is my fave

Bun Bo Hue was OK. Hu tieu kho was good. The portions were unnecessarily big. Service was good. read more

My family and I are huge fans of Tan My. We have been going here for 12 years, and I have never had anything less than the best Pho or Bun every time. This restaurant has spoiled me for anything else, I have never found any better through all of my travels. The staff is attentive and prompt, the food arrives extremely fresh, and they can deal with special orders from my kids with ease. read more

Absolute Hidden gem. Such low prices yet such high quality food and its large quantities! My boy Minh was slurping the nudes like never before! 10/10 recommend read more

The concensus was to have noodle for dinner. So we came here relying on the reviews from Yelp and wow, it sure did not disappoint. As I walked to my table, I peeked at what other people were having. We passed a table occupied by a couple and the gentleman had a bowl of noodle with some nice chunky meat and good share of vegetable. So I talked to myself: "Hmmm, what a delicious looking noodle!" Next, I watched in horror how my feet turned around and walked to the table! The gentleman looked at me and good thing I was ready to say something to ease the situation. Me: "Hi, your noodle looks really good and I wonder if you could tell me which one it is?" Gent: "Number 40, you can have it with either pork or chicken," and he smiled at me. Me: "Thanks for the tip and enjoy your dinner." (phew) and I proceeded to my assigned table. We studied the menu and decided to order chicken pho, vermicelli with grilled pork and eggroll (#40), vietnamese eggroll, and iced coffee with condensed milk. I have tried numerous Vietnamese restaurants in Texas, Florida, and California. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The vegetable was very fresh, the noodle was chewy (tasted like homemade!), the grilled pork was not too fatty, and all the dishes had a lot of flavor that make you want to eat more. This is definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants with reasonable price and excellent service. We will definitely be back for more. read more

my favorite Pho spot in Austin!! Definitely the best I've had and the service is quick and prices are great. A must try.

Tan Tan (as it was known back then) was my first introduction to Vietnamese food. Picture it, Dorothy--Austin 1999...lol But no really, that's how I've been going to Tan My. It's my favorite place for Vietnamese in Austin. I've brought several of my friends and family here, and they are forever fans. It's that good. I'm so serious! Can't even name a favorite item, I've probably had the whole menu over the years. Faves: pork & shrimp spring rolls, shrimp lemongrass vermicelli bowl (#47), pho ga with vegetables (#24), pho with bbq pork & shrimp, combination stir fry (#55), grilled pork w/ eggrolls vermicelli bowl...I could go on forever. Added bonus, the super sweet couple than runs the place. Nice, nice people. If I don't see them for a while, they ask where I've been. Kinda like your family when you haven't seen them in a few months...lol I keep trying to get the recipe to that broth jokingly---they're not budging. Seriously though, go! read more

This was the second stop on the tour de pho, and unfortunately, it just didn't sweep me off my feet. I liked that I could get chicken pho with actual pho broth instead of chicken broth - though I just didn't like it that much. I liked that I could spend 1.75 and getting a soup bowl full of veggies, but they weren't that great. The portions were fantastic for the price though, my fiance even took half his home with him since his eyes were bigger than his stomach and he ordered a large. It's almost not fair reviewing pho places which aren't Pho Van, just because that's pho for me, and I don't know if that will ever change. But a gal has to branch out and get some pho-riety in her life sometimes, and while this was a great one-night dinner interlude, I don't see us becoming regulars. But really, it's probably me, and not you, baby. read more

Best Phó you can get. Never disappointed when I go. I really recommend for anyone trying for the first time. Their egg rolls are also very amazing! 10/10 meal. read more

Man, forgot how good this place was good thing I live real close! Very good Pho and they give you a ton of meat in it. Broth is not to greasy either. Combo fried rice is one of the best in Austin!!! I guess it's been so long since i've been here they now take Visa and Mastercard!!!!!! when did this happen? Friendly service and good food! read more

Yum! I love me some vermicelli and pork with egg rolls! A girlfriend of mine introduced me to this little spot today and to my surprise the food wad delicious! My first thoughts, I was a bit weary because it was off in a small shopping plaza but as soon as you walk in, man oh man, it smelled DELICIOUS! We were seated promptly and attended to as soon as we sat down. Having a little time to review the menu I chose #40 vermicelli with pork for $7.35....talk about a steal, they give you this large bowl of food and you definitely have plenty to take home. Fast and friendly service and best of all they are opened until 11p! I'll be back to this place, yumo! read more

Solid choice, never disappoints. Great value and super quick every time we order take out.

Bun Bo Hue is the real deal here. Haven't had anything I don't like. Friendly staff, fast service.

One of the best Asian food spots in Austin. Beware that they stop seating at 8:45pm, even though they advertise closing at 9pm.

I love Vietnamese food and decided to try it based on yelp reviews. I ordered the vermicelli with egg rolls and charbroiled pork. It ok. The noodles seemed like they had been sitting out and were stiff. The pork had a good flavor. I also ordered some shrimp and pork spring rolls. I've had much better. Ok, but definitely not as good as the rating. read more

My first time trying Pho, and it was amazing! The first night I went was an hour before close, and the service was excellent! I think the owner was there- he was so nice and helped me choose a delicious dish (#9). I bought my boyfriend there last night, and even though they were pretty busy, we still have excellent service. I had the Bun Ho Hue last night- It was really great, but you might want to ask for it sans-blood :) I can't wait to go back! read more

I'm really surprised that no one has review this Pho/Vietnamese restaurant yet. It's located right behind the big Target (off Hwy. 183 between Lamar and Burnet) in a little rinky-dink strip mall... and is well worth the trip. I've been enjoying the wonderful near perfect noodle bowls there on and off there for at least eight years and have never had a bad experience or bad service. The place was introduced to me by the infamous culinary explorer Greg W. (bartender at the Crown & Anchor) and tops my list as one of the best Vietnamese soup joints in Austin. You can always tell good ethnic restaurants if the vast majority of the people eating there are of that ethnicity. Tan Tan is one of those places. Part of me does not want to review this restaurant here because I am afraid that it will become over-run with non-deserving culinary trendsetters and degrade into something similar to Kim Phung on Lamar (readers of the Austin Chronicle Restaurant poll continually rate Kim Phung as top of the Pho-scale... disgusting). I always order the same bowl (number 31? a shrimp, chicken, pork, egg noodle soup) and never deviate from that. Yes, it's probably a bit OCD for me but every time I head in there it just calls out to be reordered and reordered.... it really is that good. Spring rolls are recommended too as a starter.... finish off the meal with the Vietnamese coffee.... bring your friends, bring your boss, bring your significant other, you won't be disappointed. read more

Best Pho in Austin. Hands down. Nothing else you need to know. Clean restaurant and usually can be seated promptly. The owner is friendly too. read more

The pho and bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle) are both solid, flavorful dishes! This is a place I would proudly take my Viet parents if we want noodle soup. One stir fry beef and rice dish on the menu did not impress me, because it was too saucy and sweet for my liking. That's the only negative thing I can think of to say. However, I would still go back on any occasion (for the noodle soups)! Anytime I've walked in, it's a packed house, yet the servers manage to meet all my needs in a good amount of time. read more

Best of the TRUE Mi (egg noodle soup) in Austin! Seriously, this is where the Vietnamese people come to eat Pho, Bun, and Mi. My go-to is #32 Dry (Seafood Mi w/ Soup on the side)... Mmmmm, now I gotta go. Oh yeah, and if you're feeling adventurous, order their Bun Bo Hue. Chef will make it as spicy as you dare. read more

Long have I scoured Austin for great pho. Coming from Dallas, there are several mom and pop shops that are amazing back home, and nothing compared to the pho in Dallas until I ate at Tan My. We came here after a sprint triathlon, so naturally we were starving. My friend ate a large bowl of vermecilli and pho, so I got to try his dishes along with mine. If you are like me, I swear they put something in pho broth, I always crave more after a huge bowl. The portions are made to satisfy. I claim this restaurant to be the best pho I have had so far. Great for the morning after those crazy nights. read more

When I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, the primary thing I want is pho, whether I'm hungover or just hungry. My second priority is banh mi, and a distant third is rice/noodle dishes. Tan My ably delivers on the first and third, and while I'm always disappointed in places that don't do banh mi for whatever reason, its offerings are good enough to earn it a regular spot in your Vietnamese cuisine rotation. As far as pho is concerned, Tan My more than competes with anything in the area. The broth is what makes or breaks pho, and they have a really consistently flavorful and tasty broth that makes a solid foundation for whichever specific bowl you decide to go for (I'm a flank/brisket guy). A $6 small bowl should do it for you - one of my friends once dropped the extra dollar for the extra large bowl on a whim, and I've never seen anyone more defeated by pho; it was truly immense. In terms of their rice/vermicelli dishes are concerned, you can't go wrong with any of their fried rice options or anything with pork in it. These are usually $7-8 and are easily enough for 2 meals. Even their fried eggrolls are solid. Their staff is pretty chill and willing to do allow late orders at 5 minutes before close, which is nice of them. While their lack of banh mi prevents them from claiming hegemony over other places, their pho is still definitely worth a stop. read more

For being in a city that doesn't have the best Vietnamese/Asian food, I found that this place is as good as it gets. Their beef noodle soup (spicy) was by far the best I've had in Austin. Their pho was very flavorful and good compared to the other Pho places I've had in Austin. The price is basically the same as everywhere else, but their portions are pretty large. The broth and the meat are great! If you're looking for good Vietnamese food in this area, this is about as good as they come. They are also very friendly and the service is pretty fast. Every time I have gone there hasn't been a wait to be seated. read more

This place was super delicious. My hubby got pho which was bomb! The broth was flavorful, rich and bold flavor. The serving of the Noodles was perfect! The meat was tender and flavorful. I had the spicy flat noodles. This dish was bursting with flavor. I liked that it had a lot of meat and perfect amount of shrimp. I was a little sad because I was hoping they would leave the flat noodles long but instead they came chopped into big pieces. I was looking forward to slurping them up but I was still great! Overall this please is a hidden gem. We will be going back! read more
