Wow, this place is amazing!! We came here for dinner a couple nights ago and we are so glad we did…read more We got here around 6:45 pm on a friday night and it was pretty much packed. It's a pretty small restaurant, but there are a lot of tables. You can either wait and be seated or if you find any free spots, you can sit down and they will come and give you a menu. I ordered their bum bo hue $16 and it was delicious. The broth was to die for. It was super flavorful and the spice and salt levels were just right. Not too salty, not too spicy. I've tried tons of bum bo hues in CA and dallas, and I would have to say Tan My is in my top 3, which says a lot! My husband ordered their vermicelli with charcoal broiled beef rice noodle bowl $15 and he says it tastes better than Pho Bac in richardson; iykyk. Overall, 10000% recommend. They are located in a really small plaza with a really small parking lot so I would definitely recommend carpooling or getting there early. Service here was great and it was nice that the young guy would check in on us. We are so happy to have found a really good asian restaurant; we've had a lot of misses, but this one was totally worth it. Ugh, I want another bowl just by writing this review!!

Upon entry, you must wait to be seated. The place is clean and has both booth and table seating. Someone came right away and sat us know. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the pork belly bao, pho and bun. All were good and the portions were good. Glad I got to try it and get my pho fix.

We ordered food for our office from here the other day and everyone LOVED the food. I'm vegan, and…read morethis place had options for me. The tofu banh mi was so tasty. I had to triple check the tofu wasn't actually meat because of how it looked! It also came with tater tots? I've never seen that at a Vietnamese place but they were sooooo yummy. The fried eggplant bao buns were incredible too. I haven't stopped thinking of them! This is definitely a new favorite spot I will be coming back to over and over again!!

Not too impressed with what I got here. Came here for a banh mi and was pretty disappointed. I…read moreordered a beef banh mi. It was not a traditional banh mi. The meat almost tasted like it was minced and it was way too saucy...the flavor was alright but I would just call this a beef sandwhich and not a banh mi. A traditional banh mi uses dry, cold, room temperature meats paired with crisp veggies. Also the ratio to beef to veggies was way off... there was just too much meat. Found the bread to be too oily + soggy as well. Not sure about the other food items at this place...I'll try them at some point but if you're coming here for a good banh mi, go elsewhere. People who took my order were nice tho

My biggest issue isn't the quality of the food--it's the portions. I ordered two vermicelli bowls with grilled pork, and I was honestly shocked by how little pork came with each order. It genuinely felt like they picked out the tiniest pieces of pork they could find, and I ended up with SO many noodles left over because there just wasn't enough meat to balance everything out. I think that's what disappointed me the most. One of the things I love about Vietnamese food is that it's usually such an incredible value. The portions are typically generous, the prices are affordable, and you leave feeling really satisfied. Here, I felt like I was paying quite a bit for a meal that just didn't feel very substantial. Overall, I still think the food itself tastes good, which is why I'd probably order again if I was really craving it. I just really wish they were a little more generous with the portions because I don't think the value quite matches the price. If they increased the amount of grilled pork, I'd probably enjoy this place SO much more!

I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. 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.

First, they asked me if I could change my table because im only by myself and the table I was seating at was for table 4. And I said yes, I thought it was cool not a big deal. Second scenario was the male server put other people's orders in my table while im eating my Pho without saying any word, no excuse or some and I thought that was a little rude. Third scenario was the other male walk by with a payment card reader and he told me politely for a payment while IM STILL EATING tho he told me whenever im ready and finished so he left that payment reader on my table and left. Fourth scenario was the lady walk by and she told me "pay pay" I thought that was hilarious and I totally understood because I know there is a little culture barrier I wanna say. So yeah that was my experience. First experience of eating pho in Austin. Everytime I eat outside I give atleast 15% to 20% of tip sometimes more and when I say everytime its everytime but that time I did not Tip at all. I was embarrassed of doing that but I just couldn't give a tip. I think you all should consider giving customers a great experience with professionalism. The food was good im not gonna lie but i think yall pressured of the idea that we must work fast paced and don't let people wait too long outside. When people are eating let them have their time and give them comfort and quality service. I don't understand why you have to rush them while eating. People like me waited outside too and I don't wanna feel rushed while eating. Very unprofessional but cheers

YayYay for YaYa cafe!…read more I feel like this is a very lowkey spot that needs more recognition. The food, the service, and the atmosphere this place an easy 5/5 for me. Let's start with the food and ambiance - the restaurant wasn't too busy when we went so thankfully seating was easy. The place was clean and presentable as soon as you walk in. The food was an easy 5/5, the broth of the pho's were so delicious and would recommend going easy on the sauces so you can appreciate the broth. The service - the owner was such a delightful person. He was very conversational and easy going. He honestly made the experience very enjoyable and comfortable. Yaya's is a spot more folks need to visit/revisit

I needed somewhere to sit for a spell, escape the ungodly Texas heat, and grab something to eat…read morewhile my vehicle was charging. Xian Noodles seemed to be calling my name, or, more accurately, responding to the increasingly loud growling coming from my stomach. Walking in, my first thought was that this reminded me of some of the little dive restaurants I've seen in movies out of Japan and Hong Kong: places where the surroundings might make one question the decision for about thirty seconds, right up until the food arrives and suddenly none of it matters. The sushi bar sits immediately to the right, while a wall partially hides the small dining room beyond it. There's no delicate way to put this, the place isn't much to look at. Think 1970s-style wood paneling, scuffed floors, aging booths, and décor that appears to have stopped caring about trends several decades ago. And strangely enough, I kind of liked it. The woman who showed me to my booth was also my server, and I ordered fairly quickly. I even got to choose my own noodles, which is where my judgment began to fail me. Mistake number one: I apparently selected the largest noodles known to mankind, massive, pappardelle-like ribbons that looked less like noodles and more like delicious strips of pasta upholstery. Mistake number two: I neglected to ask about the heat level. It was spicy. Very spicy!! The kind of heat where you keep eating because it tastes fantastic even as your forehead begins negotiating terms of surrender. But the food was genuinely delicious. Rich, flavorful, spicy, and far better than the surroundings had any right to suggest. My only real battle was trying to wrangle those enormous noodles with chopsticks. After several increasingly unsuccessful attempts, and realizing I was probably providing entertainment for anyone watching, I swallowed my pride and embarrassingly asked for a fork and knife. That contrast is really what makes Xian Noodles memorable. I've eaten at little hole-in-the-wall places where the floors were worn, the furniture had seen better decades, and absolutely nobody cared because the kitchen was turning out food worthy of a five-star restaurant. Xian has a little of that same spirit. In fact, rather than trying to make the place polished or fancy, I think they should lean all the way into it: embrace the "dive" aesthetic and give the dining room the energy of a tucked-away Hong Kong noodle shop or a Tokyo street-food stall. Because when the food is this good, nobody should care about the paneling.

Yummy rolls, good raw salmon, nice hot sides, and good appetizers. The spicy chili wontons were definitely a big hit with my group, it was very spicy with the szechuan numbing!!! We ordered it more than 4 times ... One big thing that left a lasting impression on me were the noodles. I believe we just ordered some regular stir fried noodles and did not expect it to be so delicious!!!! You know when you eat noodles and you immediately know that they are made fresh in-house? That was my first impression. They have a small window peering into the kitchen and I saw a chef hand-pulling noodles, so everything just made sense to me Absolutely delicious - the noodles are chewy and hold sauce so well. Lastly, the service was good! Our server was very nice and the young lady was very kind to us. All good at this location, please check it out!!
