While I'm going to say that this isn't my favorite vegan pho in town, it's still better than many. What really keeps me coming back are the vegan eggrolls. THESE are the best imperial rolls around, mark my words; perfectly crispy, juicy inside, not greasy, and served piping hot. You must get at least one order per person. Those are the rules. They do some great things with tofu. Garlic tofu, in the banh mi, vermicelli noodle salad, and rice plate comes out nicely fried and flavorful. Many of these items aren't vegan by default, but easily adapted upon request. Speak up, they know how to help! Also, I appreciate how chill of a spot it is overall. Never crazy busy, comfortable, spacious, always fast service, and perfect for the whole family. read more

I've been here twice now, and this place has earned a spot on my rotation. I started with my standard Pho Tai, and it was excellent. The broth was perfect and authentic. On my return trip, I went for the Stone Pot Pho with fresh noodles, and it was even better. I can't go back to regular noodles after having the fresh noodles. I found the staff friendly and attentive both times. If you want authentic Vietnamese, I'd come here. read more

The bone marrow appetizer was delicious, two large bones along with some bread with pate. The Banh mi at this place is also quite good. However prices are pretty high. read more

Soooooo good! The cat fish is amazing! The pho is authentic and flavorful. The workers are super friendly. Restaurant is clean. Hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Every time I come to town I will be visiting! read more

The One Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Service was decent, and the food came out quickly and hot. I ordered the pho combo, which came with a generous portion. The flavor was on the slightly bland or mild side (very subjective, and I ddin't add extra sauce), but I appreciated that it didn't seem to have MSG. Unlike some pho places where I usually feel thirsty afterward, this felt lighter, which was a big plus. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'll be back to try their bánh mì, Thai iced tea, and Vietnamese coffee. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Good food and ambiance. The plates are very big enough to split for two people. Came for lunch quick service. Give it a try

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. read more

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! read more

This took over a pizza place I'd noticed but never got around to trying. It's pretty much your typical neighborhood pho place, good levels of service, not much atmosphere. One standout is the pho with Wagyu - usually I wouldn't bother but another review called it out and I have to agree, it's great. The broth comes in the bowl, the contents separate. I just dumped everything in except the raw thinly sliced Wagyu. Being able to control the cooking time of the Wagyu was key, you just put in a slice at a time when you want one and take it out at your desired level of doneness. This was the tastiest and most tender beef I've had in a pho bowl. read more

Had a pho craving up north and finally dropped into The One Pho off Research--looked like the kind of spot that takes broth seriously. Atmosphere: Clean, bright, and casual--easy in-and-out strip-center setup with plenty of parking. Good for a quick solo bowl or a low-key dinner; tables are spaced well enough that you're not elbow-to-elbow when the room fills. Food: Went classic first: pho tái with add-on brisket. Broth leans clear and beefy with a gentle spice backbone--comforting without feeling flat. Thin-sliced steak softens right away; brisket brings that deeper, stewy note. On round two, I tried their Hot Stone Pho--fun twist that keeps the broth piping to the last slurp; great if you linger or share bites. Also split spring rolls (tight wrap, herbs present) and a banh mi on the side--crusty bread, balanced pickles, not drowning in sauce. Service: Counter-order or sit and they'll take care of you--either way, food hits fast. Staff checked on heat level and offered extra herbs/lemons without the usual arm-wave. Even at dinner rush the pace stayed steady and the bowls landed hot (the stone pot helps). Wrap-up: Steady, satisfying pho with a couple of fun swings (hot stone, catfish) and service that keeps the bowls moving. If you want a comforting beefy broth without trekking across town, this is an easy add to the north Austin rotation. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place :) the beef pho was delicious and very flavorful in my opinion. And I've traveled to Vietnam! We also got the lemongrass beef bahn mi and my husband said it's the best he's ever had! There is a super flavorful sauce in the sandwich that really blows it away. Will come again! Only got takeout so can't speak to ambiance but seems like a traditional low key place. read more

Went here for catfish springrolls (you have to order a day in advanced for them to prepare it for you) and it was amazing! I loved how they cooked the fish and there was plenty to eat for 5 people. We got the large size and it came out to be a little under $100. The staff was very friendly and asked us if we needed anything often while eating. I will definitely be back for this again and try their other dishes! read more

After searching the Austin metro area for the best pho, I've finally found it. The hot stone pho here is special. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny. What sets it apart is the complex, rich, deep umami broth. We had the Bone Marrow Hot Stone Pho and The One Pho Hot Stone Special. Both were incredible. I will say, though, for The One Pho Hot Stone Special, the beef rib & poached egg are nothing special. Just get the regular Wagyu Beef Hot Stone Pho instead for $10 less. The other pho had the bone marrow & bread with it which was very, very tasty. I will be back for the Bò Né Đặc Biệt, Hủ Tiếu, Cơm Sườn nướng, and Bánh mì. Lastly, a big surprise was how good the kumquat sugarcane juice was. Service was prompt & the server was polite. The restaurant was cozy, but nothing crazy. I did find the openness of the staff area to be very interesting. Overall, amazing food (but kinda pricey). 100% recommend to anyone looking for the best pho in town. read more

Pretty good Vietnamese restaurant with options you can't find it other places. There's actually a great variety here. Service is kind of a mix but they are usually quite attentive. Bo lo lat - super flavorful. It's not in the main menu but you need to order from a different sheet on their wall. Bone marrow - Delicious but wish they had more pieces of bread. Felt like a waste without more carbs to spread on. Banh mi - reasonably priced but also they have a meatball version that I haven't seen elsewhere except for Dalat! Excited to have this option locally. read more

I've been here twice within just the past month and the food is solid. I was surprised how authentic this place was since it looked like a chain, but there were many Vietnamese people dining there when we came. Being from Houston, I have a high bar for banh mi and pho, and I would say the pho is great. The first time I got the pho combo the first time and I felt the broth was a bit salty and there was a meat (probably fatty brisket) that was hard to chew. But the second time, I thought the broth was perfect and super fragrant. I personally don't get banh mi in Austin because I haven't found any that match the value and taste as the ones from Houston but this is the closest I've found in town. It's still more pricey and smaller but I'd recommend their banh mi if I were really craving one. read more

We ordered to go and noticed for the $9 kids meal option of meat was not available. When we got home with the order, our kids meal only had noodles and broth. No attempt was made to make it right nor refund for our kids meal. We called them back and my husband call got screened. I called on my phone and was told no manager was around. We have been here before and loved it. Unfortunately, today's experience was not pleasant. Food is good unfortunately $9 kids meal of just noodles and broth is scammy.

The One Pho has quickly become our go-to, especially for their traditional catfish dish. It's nearly impossible to find this made well, and they absolutely nail it here. Just a tip--make sure to order it in advance (about two hours) since it takes time to prepare, but it's worth every bit of the wait. Their pho is also fantastic. The broth is rich and comforting, layered with the kind of flavor that makes you want to savor every spoonful. The smoked brisket pho is especially memorable--tender brisket with a subtle smoky depth that takes a classic dish to another level. It's the combination of authentic flavors, thoughtful preparation, and standout specialties that makes this place such a gem. Whether you're craving traditional dishes or a creative twist like brisket pho, The One Pho delivers. Simple place, great service, and easy to find. read more

Found this place last minute since I have been craving pho way more than usual recently. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. They asked me if I wanted "fresh noodles" which was a bit different than what I'm used to but they actually make them there fresh. A little different than what I'm used to but they were good. The extra large wasn't a huge bowl just packed with more of the good stuff. I'd definitely go back. read more

The One Pho in Austin is serving up a true Vietnamese gem that you absolutely need to try - their Baked Crunchy Skin Catfish (Cá Nướng Da Giòn). I had the pleasure of watching owner and chef Dao Nguyen carve table side. (Tip: It's preorder only!) I've only had peking duck carved tableside so this was awesome, it was definitely a showstopper. The catfish comes with all the fixings - fresh veggies, rice paper, nuoc mam (fish sauce), and mam nem (fermented anchovies). They even serve it on this genius rice paper tray that keeps everything from sticking. I'm Vietnamese and I've never seen this! We got the large size ($85) for our group of 4, and let me tell you, it was more than enough. We left stuffed with plenty of leftovers. They also offer a small size for $50. So happy to have more Vietnamese restaurants in Austin! read more

Reviewing their latest special, cá nướng - grilled catfish. This is a whole, head on, tail on fish, be advised if you're not used to seeing a whole cooked fish. This is a "roll your own spring roll" dish and then dipped in a fermented fish sauce (mam nem) or regular chili garlic fish sauce. The fish is not deep fried but baked for a few hours to get the skin extra crispy and the fat rendered. You have to call a day ahead for availability and pre-order. I got away with calling the same day but early in the day to have it ready for dinner arrival time. The price is quite reasonable for a whole fish like this compared to other restaurants that offer the same type of dish. read more

Absolutely stellar. Hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in all of Austin. I don't say that lightly either because we've pretty much have tried them all. First off they serve Bò Né, also known as a Saigon Breakfast, 2 eggs served with meatballs, pate, and a baguette for dipping in the sizzling tomato based sauce. Most Vietnamese restaurants don't have Bò Né on the menu and One Pho's is spot on. My favorite is their pork skewer vermicelli bowl. The pork is seasoned to perfection and grilled over an open flame. Delicious. Service is top notch, place is clean, love the open kitchen concept, and parking is plentiful. Really couldn't ask for much else. Again, stellar. read more

It's a decent Pho spot, maybe I should have went with one of their Specialty Pho bowls. But, I can't justify $30 or $38 for a bowl of Pho. Regular P8 Combo $15.50 (Combo is always my go-to anywhere) it didn't have any aroma of spices and dare I say somewhat bland. Garnishing slightly wilted... Bao Buns were fine, solid app option. Service was lacking, asked for two ice waters and he just dropped off two room temp bottles of water on the table and walked away, little strange. Tons of options out in Austin now, Tan My IMO is way better. Or.... for comparison sake, Sip Pho does the same two specialty bowls (Pho Wagyu & Pho Beef Short Ribs - both at $20 a bowl. read more
