I'm so glad this place exists because as a Vietnamese UT student who gets homesick for some home cookin and viet food sometimes, I can rely on UTea Pho to fulfill those needs. I had a chicken pho here and it was tasty! Broth is light and savory and was everything I could hope for. Would love to come back to try other dishes. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on Valentine's Day night for dinner. They had a special where couples got 10% off, and a free cream puff and rose! Upon walking in, I was impressed by the new interior or what use to be Cream Whiskers. It looked very spacious with plenty of seating, and was brightly lit. They also decorated the inside with roses and balloons, which I thought was very festive and adorable! We were able to be quickly seated and ordered the UTea pho with a matcha ajuki cream puff. The food came out quick, and we enjoyed the pho! It tasted very authentic and was reasonably priced for the portion you get. They definitely did not skimp on the meat! I liked the matcha cream puff from the old Cream whiskers more, but the cream puff here is good nonetheless! The service is great here and extremely quick and friendly! The owner is a cheerful, friendly man and constantly stopped to check up on us and to refill our cups with water. I definitely plan to come here again to try other things on their menu like their banh mi or coffee! read more

Cream whiskers has been replaced by a new vietnamese eatery! This place offers pretty solid pho, bahn mi, rice bowls, fried rice, and vermicelli in addition to the cream puffs that were available at Cream Whiskers. Pretty much all the entrees are under $10, so it's definitely a place I'll be frequenting more often. :) read more

UTea Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great pho and so close to campus! I live right next to it so I go there quite a lot. Love their expanded menu this year. I recommend the Shrimp Singapore Noodle if you aren't quite in the mood for pho. Also, their blueberry smoothies are made fresh and are quite good! Service is really great, and when it gets busy the owner even steps up and helps out. Always have a great time with friends here. Just a great place to go overall on campus! read more

Ordered the UTea Pho (the "dac biet" option) for lunch on a Monday. In short, UTea Pho almost takes over the #1 spot on my Austin pho joint list. Highlights: - good meat to broth ratio. I skipped breakfast and came away very full. - clear broth, not too oily or too salty - noodles were thin and stringy but not fragile, just like I like them - brisket was tender - steak was tender with a bit of fatty appendage, excellent. - meatballs were.. meatballs. Can't go wrong here. - came with all the standard fixings (bean sprouts, herbs, lime, hoisin, sriracha) Don't let its proximity to campus fool you, this is quality pho. Inside aesthetic is not as authentic as Tan My but food quality is very comparable. Tan My was in my opinion the only decent pho in Austin, now there is a competitor or at least close substitute. At 9.25 after tax, UTea is cheaper than Yaya and better quality than 888. They validate parking in the garage right next door, or you can pay $1 an hour for street parking nearby. read more

ive been here multiple times with my family and alone since theres not many vietnamese places in austin (hence the 2 different pictures). compared to houston vietnamese restaurants this is okay. its not the best but it does the job. crab rangoons had little filling in them and pad thai couldve been better. meat was sometimes dry. also they had a weird $0.35 to go fee? either way it's great if youre looking for a pho fix! read more

We came to this restaurant after many good reviews from Yelp. UTea Pho did not disappoint us at all. We had Grill pork spring rolls Egg rolls UTea special Pho Chicken Pho with chicken broth Basil fried rice with chicken Everything were so good, egg rolls were hot and crispy, all the soup for pho was hot. The place was clean and the customer service was excellent. The Asian male/ the boss was super helpful to us since we were visiting in Austin, Texas. We asked him where to visit on New Year's Eve. He told us places for family to hang out, where's the fireworks and etc.. read more

Great food and value. convenient location near campus Definitely going back again. Highly recommended

I was honestly skeptical of this place before I went, because it used to be a bakery and cafe, but changed into a pho + cafe restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. They have remodeled it, and the new atmosphere is light and pleasant to be in. The service was good. AND the pho was delicious!! Definitely recommend and will be going back soon! read more

This place is extremely hidden behind Pluckers. However, it is very clean and the ambiance is nice. Food was good and the drink was nice as well. Wasn't too much to it just a very good restaurant overall. read more

One of the best flat noodles I have ever had a must try. The Pho was flavorful hot and delicious.

I found this place while walking around West Campus. Seems like a newer place. It was delicious! It's limited seating, maybe 10-12 tables but it's worth it! The Pho was so good, chicken was cooked perfect and the broth wasn't too salty like some places usually are. We also ordered egg rolls and spring rolls which were also very good! Highly recommend you try this little spot on West Campus! Great service as well. :) read more

It's okay def not a go to pho spot more of a convenient acceptable spot. The broth is okay and the cream puffs are so so. For the price it should be better. I go here when I'm too lazy to drive. read more

You would think that it wouldn't be good due to it being in West Campus, but I honestly loved it. It's so much better than the neighboring pho places... it's reasonably priced too. I'd give it a 5/5 for West Campus eats and 4/5 for overall! read more

I would come here weekly it seems, since my apartment was on the same block. never had an issue with ordering or waiting times, staff were always super friendly. Their food and location is convenient being near UT's campus. not expensive. Boba and egg noodle dishes were great. read more

This place is amazing! Convenient location. Their pad Thai is phenomenal and their customer service is always great!

my pho was extremely bland and tasted like water. meal was not worth the price at all

Got the Crab Rangoons and chicken pho like last time but the pho broth tasted watered down. The crab rangoons were really good and they were nice and hot. Like last time, there wasn't a lot of chicken so that was a bummer. However, the service of the place was absolutely amazing and my friend and I really appreciated it. read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I'm so glad to have found such an amazing place. Their noodles are fresh noodles and the portion is very good for such an affordable price. The broth is very rich and tastes delicious!! Definitely will go again :) read more

Service was greaaaatt! The workers were personable and nice, food was 10/10 too! Don't waste your time at the other very known Pho place at UT, this place is the best. Small businesses always do it right :) read more

The best pho around campus. The owner is super nice. Would recommend the UTea special pho and the grilled pork spring rolls.

It took us at least 40 minutes to get our food. Which was good but not great. I think if anything the food did not live up to the hype that we heard about this place. I will be willing to try it again, but if the wait is as long as it was when it was nearly empty( mind you I went when it was nearly empty) , this place will not be getting my money again. read more

Yummy food! We ordered beef flat noodles, fried rolls, Vermicelli, passionate fruit slushy, all excellent! Open for indoor, outdoor dining. The space is also clean and comfortable to dine in. read more

Food is ok. There are some dishes I like. I always place to-go orders. But it seems about an additional takeout fee is silently charged, making Me never leave a tip any more. Recently I got a wrong food order and was offered to take it for free. I was so nice that I agreed to pay for the original order as I assumed the wrong order was more expensive. Later I found out the wrong order is cheaper than what I actually paid. I came back and requested to speak to the manager, who refused to meet me. I left my contact and a note and 2 days later I was offered to get the refund of the price difference. read more

My favorite restaurant in West Campus. I am not kidding when I say I go here every week. The staff is so nice and the food is really consistent. It's always busy but the food comes out so so quickly. Highly recommend this place!! They have so many options and they're all so good :) love this place. read more

Food is delicious! It's a nice place to go and eat as well near campus and different from what is around.

The pho is probably one of the more decent phos you can get around the UT campus. Considering its price (~$8) I think it's about average. The spring rolls, while not traditional, were good. The meat inside was definitely the highlight. The Banh mi sandwich (I got the special), was again good and fair priced for what you can get around UT. The bread could have stood to be toasted a tad longer. The cream puff itself is a lot smaller than it used to be when UTea Pho was just Cream Whiskers so that was a little disappointing. Although the cream puff still tasted great. Overall a fair vietnamese spot, with its highlight being its quality and price compared to other Vietnamese restaurants/ food spots near walking distance of UT campus. Definitely something if you want something close by and need a Vietnamese fix but don't expect the full vietnamese cuisine experience read more

Insanely good pho here, super prompt service, average prices but huge portion sizes. The pho broth was insanely meaty and the rare steak inside was tender and not chewy whatsoever. Only critique I have is that I didnt get as much basil and bean sprout as I usually like but I'm sure had I asked they would have given. Either way, highly recommended! read more

Good place to-go for pho when you're not home. the prices are not that bad for being near campus

You must come here for the pho. The broth is so chock full flavor! It was supremely satisfying. I had been craving a bowl of good noodle soup, and this place was completely satisfactory. I got the UTea Special (P8). Definitely worth it. I will come back to try the vermicelli which is what I usually get, but the soup was calling my name. read more
