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

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

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

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

I was pretty satisfied with this place! It's pricey for pho, but I enjoyed my shrimp egg noodle dish a lot. The flavor was good and the portions were large. It came with some soup as well, which was flavorful. As is the norm for pho places, we were attended to promptly and the food came out quickly. There's plenty of parking in the lot as well as in front of the store! I'll be back, since it offers a lot of non-pho options that I'd like to try. read more

Rare steak pho (P1) Came in for a late lunch around 2pm on Sunday and was seated quickly. I ordered the rare steak pho with the recommendation of the house made noodles instead of the regular thin noodles. The pho and noodles were amazing! Definitely of the better phos I've ever had. I would return here and recommend to others! read more

The One Pho - Rare steak pho (P1) - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Austin went from only one place to five places for Bo Ne! Bo Ne Dac Biet ($19.50) I appreciate the multiple components and different meats. Could've used some extra butter on the side to fatten up the pate and bread. The pieces of beef was tossed in a savory brown sauce. We were hoping steak cubes where it could be served medium rare, but these were still good with the sauces. The xui mai (meatballs) were simmered in the classic sweet garlic tomato sauce and Vietnamese ham. The banh mi (bread) was on the softly toast side and airy to soak up all the sauce. Although not out of this world, this is the most true to Houston Bo Ne that I've had in Austin. Hot Stone Pho ($30) is like a deconstructed pho is the easiest way to explain. To eat, you test a piece of rare steak in the temperature of broth you want and then add all the ingredients in at once, mix then eat. It's not supposed to be hot pot style where you dip one ingredient at a time, no... The noodles are the freshly made kind. With that said, they lack the chewy texture but it's the most appropriate noodles for this style of eating pho in order to cook through. The meats were very fresh and cut thicker than other pho shops, and the main feature was the bone marrow which worked well because the broth was lean. Speaking of broth, it had a stronger star anise flavor. For price is it worth? Maybe to just try because this is one of those activities that the "richer" in Vietnam does do but paying $15 instead for a regular bowl is just fine by us! There is also a beef rib version for $38 if so desired. Cafe Sua Da (Iced Coffee) was premix but flavor was good. Located right next to Costco on Research where the Russo used to be. read more

Great new spot up north. Drove up all the way from driftwood and it didn't disappoint. We grabbed the last whole fried fish of the day, perfectly steamed for spring rolls. They have some authentic dishes that you won't find other places. This is also the first I've heard of a spot in town that does Bo 5 Mon (beef served 5 different ways). ATX has been asking for something similar, check this place out folks! read more

This has officially become my go-to pho spot in Austin. The broth and noodles are legit - super flavorful, and you can even choose between thin or thick noodles. The staff is really attentive, and since they're Vietnamese, they know how to make everything taste authentic. Highly recommend! read more

The only reason you would consider eating here is because there is such a lack of options in Austin for Pho. A TikTok brought us out here, but it was a disappointment. They are understaffed and lazy I believe. The soup gets thrown into a pot frozen and is very bland. I'm confident it's just watered down beef broth. No spices at all. They're very stingy with the herbs. They have good rice noodles if you order the $30 pho but the $15 comes with the plain old dried ones. The brisket and the rare steak are so chewy and full of gristle which some people might like, but it's not for me. The tripe and tendon balls were good, but you only get 2 very small pieces of tripe and zero tendon. The service is busy handling complaining customers and bowls being sent back. We received our meal in this order: bowls of pho, spring rolls, then finally our spoons and herbs. The spring rolls were short, stumpy, and with little tiny shrimp for $8, but the fish sauce was really tasty. With the quality of the beef and the soup, I'm nervous to come back and try the 5 beef dish or the stone pho. read more

The staff was friendly and seated us promptly, which was a good start. Unfortunately, the dining experience became uneven once food service began. Our dishes came out at very different times, leaving some of us sitting and watching others eat both at the beginning and the end of the meal, which really disrupted the experience. Another frustration was that several items listed on their online menu are no longer available, including the beer and wine selection. That was disappointing, as the availability of drinks factored into our decision to dine here in the first place. The menu clearly needs updating to reflect what's actually offered. As for the food, the banh mi and pho were good, but my entrée was a letdown. It was advertised as two pork chops (end cut), but what arrived was essentially one chop plus scraps, and the main chop was mostly bone, roughly 60% bone, leaving very little edible meat. Overall, decent flavors, but watch out for cheap cuts of meat and an outdated online menu. With some fixes, this place could easily improve. read more

Small Vietnamese restaurant in the arboretum area. The restaurant opening and wanted to try it out. Service need some work. They kept bringing food out to the wrong the table multiple times. They also forget to bring out some items to tables and I notice people kept reminding them. Food is okay nothing amazing for me. The Kroger sriracha doesn't taste like the original sriracha. It is more on the sweeter side and not spicy at all. The banh mi (V-1) was on the salty side. Pho was also on the sweeter side for the broth. Overall, there are other places I would go than here at this time. Maybe as they continue things will get better. read more

Had dinner with two friends tonight during the one pho's soft opening. The employees are very nice, welcoming, and eager. Between us three females, we ordered one cast iron skillet house favorite combo that comes with a side salad and 1 banh mi baguette, one bone marrow hot stone pho, and an order of pork and shrimp eggroll (4 count) I'll start with the good. The eggrolls were very good. Loved the flavors, the crisp, the portion. $6. Bone marrow stone pot pho. The pho presentation was novelty. It reminded me of a fondue or hot pot. However, if you don't dip all of your meat in from the beginning, the pot loses heat very rapidly and you will be left with rare meat to enjoy. Although, the staff reheated out pot when requested. The broth was unremarkable. The noodles were perfect. The manager mentioned they ordered freshly made/highest quality noodles from California. $30 Last, the Bo Ne skillet smelled so good but was delivered to us at a lukewarm temperature. It did not sizzle or even steam. On the plus side, The bread that came with this entree was so good. It was baked upon order. The pork meatball was my favorite, there's a lot of potential here, if only warmer... 19.50 The portion sizes are adequate and price isn't too bad. *It does seem steep for the stone pot pho, however, there are a lot of components and could be good for diners who like their meat less cooked. I wonder if the pho wasn't split amongst three and eaten singularly, if it would've been a Better experience. Overall, our spread cost $60 with an additional loaf of bread. Split amongst 3 was $20 each. I'll give them some time to figure out some logistics and kinks before returning. read more

I visited this place on a little weekend excursion in Austin and was pleasantly surprised! My rule for non-American food is if I can pronounce the restaurant it probably isn't good, but this was really tasty! Even my iced coffee caught me off guard. Service is pretty straightforward, you order and then you pay at the register instead of the table. It's just a cute and casual Vietnamese place, if I were local I'd visit again. read more

Ordered it on door dash and maybe it's just me but Houston Vietnamese food is just way different. It's so flavorful and well done. My spring rolls were coming apart when we got them even though they were individually wrapped. They just weren't wrapped tightly enough and the pork pieces were a little dry. Pho broth was tasty but wish it tasted meatier. Got the kids size BoNe and it was good. read more

The One Pho is an upscale take on pho with a gorgeous space and quick attentive staff. There's plenty on the menu that gives off the vibes of your normal Vietnamese restaurant with things like bun and pho in regular bowls, you're probably not coming here for those. You're here for what is unique that you can't get anywhere else in Austin and while it's expensive for what it is, got to carve yourself a niche somehow. Came here for mother's day and my wife wanted to celebrate with some Wagyu Stone Bowl pho. She really likes pho and we agreed the broth here is clean and a little sweet. Despite being in the stone bowl, which while does retain its heat well, still requires you to throw the raw meat in at the beginning to cook it in a reasonable amount of time (for pho at least). The One Pho is generous with the meat, but the brisket and flank is par cooked prior to arriving to the table and while we agreed the wagyu meat was really good flavor wise, it's not super marbled cause wagyu eye round? is still eye round. I tried House Favorite Combo Bo Ne, which is basically make your own banh mi on a sizzling cast iron skillet. Lots of meat, two sunny side up eggs and everything brings something interesting to the party. The baguette they give you is crusty, hot and fluffy and was delectable. Of the meats, we liked the beef best, followed by the pork meatball and then the ham. The pate was a bit too funky for us but that's what I expect. All of these were super flavorful and offered good textural contrast. The veggies offer a good palate cleanse. All that said, it's good but definitely overpriced. If you really like pho, it's worth a one time experience but I would probably stick to their regular items otherwise. read more

Love the food there! The pork skewer, dry egg noodle are some of my favorites. So good that I haven't ordered anything else! I need to expand, for sure. read more

Definitely satisfied my craving for pho!! We ordered the wagyu pho via doordash and it was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and the portions were huge. Although the wagyu pho was more expensive, the amount of beef they gave us was worth it. I think i could have easily shared it with my partner. Also the sugar cane juice was good as well. read more

Ended up coming here for lunch today while I waited for Costco to complete my tire replacement request, and I'm glad I did! I've eyed this place a few times already whenever we come to the Costco on this side of town, and was very content with the service and the food quality. I ordered the Rare Beef and Meatball pho bowl and this place by far has one of the most generous portion sizes for pho I've experienced in Austin thus far, and this was only the regular size!! I mean I probably got like 10 slices of rare beef and 4 huge meatballs (other places usually only give me two meat balls, maybe 3 if I'm lucky lol). You know the protein amount is generous when I finish the noodles before the meat has been completely eaten haha! Everything tasted fresh and the broth was flavorful, yet not salty. I also enjoyed the longer strands of green onion which I usually don't see at other pho restaurants. I'll definitely be back to try out their hot stone pho bowls (didn't even know they offered this) or even one of their Vietnamese rice bowls in the near future! The ambiance is very casual so come comfortable AND hungry haha! read more

I thought the pho lacked depth and flavor. Personally for the price I felt it could've had more meat. The beef steak was probably the best dish but we wouldn't go back just for one dish. read more

It's a solid spot and gets the job done. Large portions, good pho. I got the p8 combination which is my usual go-to, and also tried the spring rolls. I'd say that the combination lacked tendon which most places include. I believe the price was also a smidge higher than most places. I'd also say that the fluorescent lighting was a bit harsh as an atmosphere critique. Overall, if I were nearby and happened to want pho I wouldn't be opposed to coming back -- but if I were choosing a pho place from scratch there would be a few off the top of my head that I would probably prefer more. read more

No complaints. I thought the price a couple $$ to high until I saw the insane portion size. Some of the best I've ever had. Clean, quick, friendly and good. What else could you want?!? Best of luck on the business. The waiter told me it was pretty new. Looks like you are off on the right foot. read more

I thought $28 for a bowl of Pho is was steep but the clay put pho delivered. It really kept the broth piping hot. So hot I burned my tongue for days haha. It comes with the wagyu meat, it really was an experience beyond your typical pho. The meat is best cooked when you are ready to enjoy it. We weren't told that we should cook it as we go so we had put it all in the broth which resulted in some of the pieces being over cooked. Next time e will be more prepared. The noodles were very good as well though. I'd definitely come back for the clay pot pho! read more

This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Their pho is so yummy, and their staff is so kind! I love their housemade garlic and fish sauce wings. The bone marrow pho is my favorite because they give you huge bones along with some bread and pate. Their pho broth is incredibly flavorful and has a really strong clove-flavor. I also tried my friend's banh mi, and it was delicious. I highly, highly, highly recommend this place. Take it from someone who could eat pho literally every single day of her life. read more

Oh my, this is my new favourite photo place! Recently opened, this takes pho to a new level! I went with my mom and we got the hot stone pho which they bring out a bowl of hot soup and you put each of the toppings in. Be sure to cook the meat first while the soup is at the highest tempe. Definitely give this a try, it won't disappoint! Service was fast and friendly. Love the vibes! A bit pricey at $20 for a bowl, but it's definitely different and the portions are huge so I can't complain! My mom and I split one bowl and we could barely finish it even then. The Thai tea was so good as well. Everything about this place was just perfect:) read more

The food is great, but they need to change the website to reflect that they no longer serve alcohol.

I tried their pho during the soft opening, so I definitely took that into consideration for this review. I do think there is room to improve, but there are pros that should be highlighted as well with my experience. The broth could have been a little more flavorful, but I love the presentation and concept. It is a bit pricey, I think I would've been okay with ordering just their regular pho. The noodles were so good! Reminded me of the noodles I had when traveling to Vietnam. The flavor of their Bo Ne was perfect! Would've been better if it came out hotter and sizzling, to match with the name of the dish :) but definitely try their Bo Ne! Their bread is made in house and was so so soft!! Loved it so much. The bone marrow was good as well. Definitely give them a chance. Service was amazing. The owner of the place came out to talk to us and checked in on our experience. read more

Went here while in north Austin visiting my sister, nice large restaurant with tons of seating, great for groups! The service was very friendly and food came out really fast. I had the short ribs, the portions were huge and the food was amazing. This was probably the most perfectly cooked rice I'd ever had, I ended up taking it home and eating it again that night. My sister ordered the lemongrass beef and I was a little jealous once I got a taste of hers. I will definitely be ordering the lemongrass beef or chicken next time I go! We also ordered Vietnamese iced coffee, it was some of the best I've had, however I don't recommend having it late at night because I was very hyper after that!

I tried this after I saw some influencer post to their story about the best pho places in Austin. I likely won't go back. Service: They are SEVERELY understaffed and have a kitchen that is not made for the number of tables they seat. Went on Sunday for a late lunch. Waited 15 minutes to just get on the list. Multiple tables stayed dirty while people waited because they didn't have the staff. Once seated, we had our order ready because we weren't sure when we would have someone attention again. It took about another 15 minutes for us to get our iced tea. Food: The only thing that stood out was the offering of "wagyu" pho options. The broth was pretty good and they do give a lot of meat. I ordered the S-4 (wagyu, beef rib, etc.). It was served in a stone bowl that overflowed if you added too much to it. We ordered the eggrolls - which, sadly, were not Vietnamese eggrolls and were just okay - and fried okra (which was surprising). I was thinking we would get some Vietnamese spin on fried okra...No. It was just frozen, breaded okra. It was strange. The soy sauce was on the table and in a bottle called Knorr Liquid Seasoning. Bleh. It tasted NOTHING like soy sauce and more like molasses. Lastly, we got pork banh mi's to go. They gave us instructions for heating them up. These were good but, again, nothing special. All-in-all, it was just okay. Not something that, in my opinion, is worth me going through all of this to try again when there are so many great Vietnamese restaurants in Austin. read more
