    Food is sooo authentic! Call an hour ahead for the cat fish! Really hard finding consistent vietname food. Small family owned and mom and pop but the best Vietnamese food in town!

    Combo sizzling plate

    This spot has been consistent with their Vietnamese speciality dishes. They offer a number specialty Vietnamese dishes that typical Vietnamese "Pho" restaurant won't. Must tries are the baked catfish where you can roll in rice paper yourself. The cat fish comes with 3 sizes, S,M,L but they never have S whenever I ask for it. :-(. They offer two dipping sauces, traditional mam nem or typical fish sauce. We love their mam nem so always opt for that. You have to preorder the cat fish as it takes 1.5 hour to bake. I recommend to call in to order before you drive there. Their hot sizzling plates with baguette are great too. Get the combo so you can get the full experience of all the "protein" options. We are also very fond of their pho especially the one in the stone pot. Parking is plenty and they're right next to Costco. Very convenient if you live far away and want to try their baked catfish and run Costco errands after.

    Hot stone pho menu
    Doan L.

    This place is legit when you see that it is full of local Viet on a Sunday afternoon! The menu is pretty good with authentic Vietnamese food but we normally come here for the S1 Ribeye Hot Stone Pho. They bring out the meat and noodles separately and then the soup in the stone bowl. This time the asked me if I wanted all the greens-- lime wedges, basil leaves, jalapeño slices and bean sprouts. I never eat the bean spouts but use everything else and it always seems a waste of bean sprouts when I don't use them so I was thankful to have them hold the bean sprouts. Be careful as the soup is extremely hot and the hot stone bowl keeps it that way for a while. You fill the bowl to the brim after adding all the meats and noodles. My only complaint is the noodles. They are fresh and just the right texture... very good! But for some reason the always seem to get cut up after I put them into the bowl. Not sure if they cut them before hand but they end up cut short when put them in the bowI. I prefer long slurpy noodles over cut noodles that's hard to pick up with chopsticks. Overall I still give it 5 stars and this one of the two best pho spots in the greater Austin area

    Pho Combo/Dac Biet
    Angelica L.

    Overall: 4.6/5 [dine In] We visited on two separate occasions and left both times feeling this is a solid Vietnamese restaurant. Service is consistently great, with veggies brought out promptly. The menu is extensive, so we are already looking forward to coming back to explore more dishes. One thing to note is that the veal rare steak pho and thit kho quet va com chay chao are no longer available, though they remain on the menu. The One Pho Hot Stone Special ($38): Sliced wagyu beef, beef short rib, flank brisket and poached egg. If you visit, try this at least once. The broth alone was so good that we didn't need to add any extra condiments, and the quality of the wagyu and short rib made it genuinely impressive and well worth the price. Pho Combo: Rare Beef, Brisket, Tripe, Flank and Beef Ball/Pho Dac Biet ($16.45) + Fresh Rice Noodles ($1.50): The fresh rice noodles fall somewhere between wide and regular thin rice noodles. While decent, it was not as flavorful or satisfying as the hot stone special, and the meat simply does not compare to the wagyu and short rib. We had to add Sriracha and hoisin sauce to give it more flavor. Bo La Lot ($24): Everything came out super fresh, and the banh hoi was exceptional, even folded into spring rolls. The bo la lot was enjoyable, though we have had better elsewhere. Our one gripe was the portion of meat, as only ten pieces did not feel like enough to pair with all the banh hoi and spring rolls. Hu Tieu Kho Trong Sot Thit ($15.95): Don't let the presentation fool you. The sauce makes it look unappetizing but it tasted absolutely delicious once you mix everything together. It was full of flavor and the best hu tieu kho we have had in Austin so far. House Favorite Combo/Bo Ne Dac Biet ($19.95): The baguette was fresh and even better when dipped in the sauce and pate. Everything on the plate came together nicely, hitting that umami sweet spot without being overpowering or salty. Fresh Kumquat Sugarcane Juice ($6.95 S / $9.45 L): Very refreshing and a great way to round out the meal.

    We went to this restaurant while waiting for Costco's tire shop to finish with the car. They were busy but we were able to get a table for two for breakfast/brunch time. The staff were welcoming and nice, overall great service with regular "table touching". The pho was delicious. Nice rich broth, plenty of meat and toppings. Great value and quality for the price! Adding tho to my rating of great pho options in town for suuure. The appetizer (pork buns?) was okay, not my personal favorite overall, but glad we tried it. Vietnamese iced coffee was mostly ice and not a lot of coffee. When they first brought them to the table both were just half way full (but considering amount of ice it was likely much less). So we had to ask to fix both. For $6 a cup, filling them only half way would be an actual crime lol But they made it right this time. Overall worth coming back for the pho and perhaps try other menu options as they have so much more to try.

    One of the better pho spots here while you wait for your Costco tire to get patched. The normal sized portion is really big. Prices are good. Service was also really good. The appetizer we got was the brisket bun. For $10 it was kind of underwhelming for the price, size, & what the dish was. The viet coffee although good was also kind of disappointing since it came in 75% ice and barely any coffee. The staff was nice enough to fill it some more. But there was so much ice it was not also. Other than that definitely come here for the pho. The menu is actually quite extensive.

    Overall, Not impressed. Service felt hurried and kind of chaotic (they weren't that busy). Pho was mediocre at best. Very salty. Took the menus away super fast so o couldn't even take a photo of it to post, sorry. Not planning on going back.

    This hidden gem, wonderful! Let's talk about the ambiance, the place is pretty chill and quite hidden, but has amazing customer service. My friend and I were seated immediately and received our food quickly. I had the beef and tripe with fresh noodles P5 and she had the B4 and said that it really hit the spot. The pho was a little bland, but I've heard that they are known for their other dishes, specifically the bò né, so if you have a chance to go, get that.

    Regular sized pho
    Lyla A.

    I am glad we tried this place. The service was good and their menu had some unique items on it that you wouldn't find at most Vietnamese restaurants. The pho was phine (see what I did there?) it wasn't as rich and complex as some pho broths are. I liked it but it was definitely light on flavor. The meat seemed like it was good quantity and the portion was good too. My husband had a dish with tomato sauce, different meats and an egg and it came with a baguette. The bread was excellent. So light yet crispy. The dish was unique and tasty but he wouldn't order it again. Give them a try!

    Wendi K.

    Really incredible Vietnamese food at great prices. The Spring Rolls ($7.50) and Pork Skewer with Steamed buns ($8.50) were both amazing. Both are well made and took me to Flavor Town. I definitely am trying to come back for the pho and the bone marrow dishes. Other items on the menu include your typical Vietnamese fare - banh mihs and vermicelli bowls. The staff is kind the interior is clean and non -pretentious.

    Beef steak with eggs
    Emily K.

    The beef pho is good, and the beef steak with eggs here is absolutely phenomenal! It comes with Banh Mi bread and a small bowl of salad. The salad was very refreshing with a hint of slightly tangy flavor, and the bread was warm on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The tender steak, eggs with the sauce, and the salad, putting all in the bread makes a perfectly juicy bite. Highly recommend it!

    Vegan pho
    Annie A.

    Stumbled on this place after a costco run and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. One of the most flavorful vegan broths I can find in Austin and packed with fresh veggies and tofu unlike many other places. They also had the option for fresh noodles which were amazing. The garlic tofu buns were stand out for me - so packed with flavor and absolutely divine. Overall value is so good for the price and taste was amazing! I will be back.

    Value for money: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Food Quality: 4 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 4 Thank you, Come Again?: 4 The One Pho is a cozy spot for a cold night in Austin! We ordered the Hot Stone Sliced Ribeye, the Sizzling Platter Ribeye, and the Bone Marrow Appetizer. I really loved the concept of the hot stone pho--the fresh noodles and broth served in the stone bowl kept the soup warmer much longer compared to the standard ceramic bowl. The ribeye dishes were flavorful and satisfying, and everything came out quickly thanks to their attentive service. My only feedback would be on the bone marrow appetizer. The first time it came out, it was cold, and the fat had solidified, which wasn't pleasant. I asked the server about it, and he confirmed it should have been warm. They immediately took it back and reheated it, but even then, there wasn't much marrow to spread across the four slices of toast that accompanied it. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was fast, and the hot stone pho concept is new to me. I'd return for the pho and sizzling ribeye, but I'd skip the bone marrow appetizer next time.

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.

I had my boyfriend pick up the food and he forgot to check for the hoisin sauce. I can't eat pho without it, so I called the store and was told it was offered but that he must not have heard the employee asking. I tried to eat the pho anyway, and it ended up being one of the worst bowls of pho I've ever had. I'm Vietnamese, so I know what good pho should taste like. The broth was extremely bland and watered down, with no aroma or real pho flavor. Without hoisin sauce it was even worse. I tried adding seasoning to make it taste decent but nothing helped. The noodles were also hard and clumped together in one big chunk. I had to microwave them for about three minutes just to get them to separate. In the end, I gave up and threw away our 2 -$18 bowl of pho. The broth tasted worse than instant pho. Very disappointing. I should have known better than to order pho downtown.

It was one of our top two banh mi here, along with the lamb one. The bread was nicely toasted, the pâté came through, and all the flavors were on point. Garlic Butter Prawn Bún ($18): The shrimp were perfectly cooked, though the garlic butter flavor wasn't very strong. The vermicelli and veggies were so fresh and tasty together with the nuoc mam that I was able to eat the leftovers without any protein. Curry Ramen ($16): This was our first time trying curry ramen, so we didn't know what to expect. You got to choose your protein, so we went with chashu. The curry had flavors similar to oc len xa dua and was pretty good, and the ramen itself had a great texture. I still prefer regular ramen but would still recommend trying this at least once.

Speaking of waiting for your food, the food comes out super quick! Within 1 minute of ordering my drink, it came out! And a couple minutes after follows the food. The service is amazing as well, the servers are super sweet and are very quick to serve you and get what you need. The menu offers a bunch of things, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and the drinks! I love how the desserts and drinks are also Vietnamese (most of the time I notice restaurants tend to have the basic selection of fountain drinks and desserts, but this restaurant has a wide variety of drinks and desserts so you can try something new every time you come here!) Most of all, there's a bunch of vegan dishes which I absolutely love. The food is always delicious I've been trying the vegan dishes recently and I love them a lot (as someone who doesn't like vegan dishes normally)!
