We'd passed it plenty of times but honestly never thought much about it because it's in a strip center and doesn't look like much from the outside. Walk through the door, though, and it's a completely different story. The interior has a really interesting Western/Texas feel, which is not exactly what you expect from a restaurant serving Vietnamese and Thai food! We were in the mood for Thai on our first visit, so we both ordered the Pad Thai. It was delicious--some of the best we've had. One thing that really stood out was how much chicken they put in it. A lot of places seem to ration the chicken in dishes like this, but they definitely don't skimp here. We enjoyed it enough that we came back again. This time we tried the pho with tofu. It came out absolutely piping hot and was good, although we thought the broth could have had a little more flavor. I also tried the Thai Basil House Special with chicken, which was excellent--and once again, loaded with chicken. Two visits in and we're definitely adding Simply Pho House to our regular Marble Falls stops. Hunan Pudding is probably next on my list to try, or maybe the General Tso's chicken. Lots more of the menu left to explore!

All amazing! Timing and tempo could have been better. My meal came out around 5-10 minutes after my dates meal. His was cold by the time mine came. We were done with our meals for quite a while before the server checked on us about dessert. We were told we only had 3 minutes to order dessert which was a bit off putting considering we had been ready to order at least 15 minutes prior. We got our dessert shortly before 10, and at 10:02 the house lights came on glaringly bright - aka time to get out. We hadn't even gotten our check yet. Overall the back end of the night felt rushed which put a damper on the experience. I would come back maybe during social hour or earlier in the day.

My 19-year-old granddaughter is visiting from out of town, and she was so impressed with everything: the beautiful presentation, the restaurant itself, and especially the incredible flavors. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for a bit. Our waiter was wonderfully kind and attentive, checking on us throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. The wonton soup was delicious, with fresh, crisp vegetables that added the perfect crunch. The lunch special is an amazing value at $13.99. For just a $1 upcharge, you can substitute fried rice, and your meal includes an egg roll, your choice of soup, and your entrée. The portions were generous enough that we both had leftovers to take home for dinner. I ordered the Szechuan Beef, and it was absolutely outstanding. My granddaughter had the Orange Chicken, and we both agreed the Szechuan Beef stole the show! Austin Elite approved! We'll definitely be back!!

For $150/head you get solid Chinese food, with nice presentation. To me, if I consider the $150 price point for the meal, paying simply for presentation is not enough, especially if you consider other restaurants competing at this price point in the Austin area. Very few of the dishes had any real flavor advancements/innovations past the original Chinese dish it was based on. For example, the salt and pepper lobster comes out in this fancy wide wooden dish, filled with dried peppers, and then is seated on a textured stone bowl with sliced lettuce under the lobster tail. All to get 2 bites of typical tasting lobster. Was the lobster good? yes, but the general feeling is pay more to get better presentation, and less food for the money, not a food taste upgrade. To be fair, that may be what the restaurant is targeting. To contextualize Ling's kitchen, I feel as if you would be able to get a larger version of most if not all dishes, with similar quality in Houston for $20. For $150 you would be able to feed an entire family with drinks and dessert normally so I do not feel as if the money is worth it. Not much innovation on the flavors for the palate, but the food had very cute visuals. Service was nice, and the Chef's energy was infectious.

Finally had a chance to try this out to celebrate my wife's birthday. If you get tired of reading,…read morethe punchline is "this is a meal you should go enjoy!" When you arrive, you are gathered in a side room with the other guests and served prosecco or tea, and a tasty opening bite. Our hosts were Nick and Mateo, and they were solid throughout the meal. If you want any wine/sake, you get that selected at this time (bottles only). We chose a sauv blanc from Round Pond, a CA vineyard where we'd visited with family years ago. Many of the dishes are seafood so this was a nice pairing. Once the group has arrived, you're seated around a giant and well decorated table in the actual kitchen. It's a super cool vibe with nice music and intimate lighting. Each course is announced with a gong, and thoughtfully explained, including the connection to Chef Ling and how to best enjoy. I didn't come across anything I didn't love, but I'll highlight a few of my favorites. The fried taro with spicy crabmeat aioli ate like a delicious crab cake! The dry aged Peking duck was a stunner, coming in a smoke filled wooden box. One piece was meant to be eaten in fluffy bun, the other to be enjoyed more purely. There's also a smoked duck tongue which is tasty, just trust me! There's also filet mignon was rich and tender, laying in a delicious green sauce. Chef's kiss! Midway through the meal you are invited to introduce yourself briefly to the table. You also get to walk around enjoy some extra bites and visit with the chefs. It was a charming and diverse crowd. A real slice of Austin. See my pictures for a good sense of what you're in for. You will definitely not leave hungry or disappointed. Chef Ling is present and makes her way around the table during the meal. She is kind and humble, but clearly knows what she's doing!

It has been one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants-and one of the only places to serve the Vietnamese pancake that I love. I sat down, getting ready to contemplate the menu. I was shocked to see it was a brand new menu. I asked my server about it, and he concurred that it is a new menu, but that the owners had taken many of the former choices off. . NO more fried rice-always my grandson's favorite. Although I was disappointed when it was time to order, I chose the Mixed Protein Bun. I requested shrimp and eggrolls. It is a bowl filled with rice noodles, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and your choice of protein. It also comes with a generous portion of fish sauce. After one bite, I knew that the old chef must have left. My food was so bland. To start with, I don't think it was salted at all..... which quite often affects the flavors negatively. There were no other spices or sauce or anything tasty in my bowl. I was very disappointed. I didn't even eat a quarter of the Bun. I didn't take the rest to go and I won't be returning, unless I see that they have returned to their former style of cooking. So I'll definitely be watching the reviews. It makes me very sad to have to write a negative review, especially about a place. I have enjoyed so much in the past!!!

Other than that it's pretty much self service unless you're there for drinks as well. I will say the Asian aspect of the fusion leaves a little to be desired, as in a majority of the dishes just contain some sort of ponzu or yuzu marinade, not that it's a bad thing just wanted more. The miso mustard flavor on the potatoes is a really good combination and was hoping for more flavor fusion in that realm. But as a smokehouse it is a really solid choice. Overall, a really good place to dine!

The soup dumplings and fried beef buns are standouts and definitely worth ordering. For entrees, the duck is excellent and the coconut shrimp is another highlight.

The atmosphere is upscale and comfortable, making it a great place for a relaxed dinner or group night out. Overall, very consistent food and a nice dining experience, just not quite at the level where every single dish hits perfectly.
