    Bean sprouts
    Aruni G.

    Met a friend here last week to have lunch before we walked over to nearby salon to get our nails done. It's conveniently located in the same shopping center! We both ordered beef brisket and steak pho and it was so much we took some home. I asked just to add two vegetable items but they added carrots too, which was fine but not what I had ordered. We both enjoyed the food but it did took a while to get it even though there weren't many people there. My friend ordered a hot tea after and we had to check with the person who took our order to a few times to see when it would come. I look forward to going back and trying their vermicelli!

    P4. Rare Steak - Phở Tái The broth is the best I've had!

    The pho is extremely fresh! I asked for my steak on the side and it was beautifully plated! The broth was so fresh and had an almost sweet/savory flavor. The noodles were fresh as well. The perfect texture. The service is amazing! They are very welcoming and kind! They have a cozy ambiance. TVs for families and plenty of food to choose from! The price is right!

    I hadn't been here in 'way too long. This evening they are putting up their festive Christmas tree (none of this October nonsense for these nice people!) ASA I walked in, the owners offered me a refreshing cup of cold water. Hospitality like this is rare, especially these days. Perfect tofu spring rolls. PERFECT. I tried the Tofu Bowl with rice. SO GOOD. My companion (who never complains but never says anything nice either) remarked THREE TIMES how good her pho was. There's food here for everyone, from committed carnivores to very selective vegans. I summoned all the willpower at my command and did NOT order the chocolate milkshake. Next time, I'm starting with that.

    Pork V2. Vermicelli with Grilled Pork Bowl

    Friendly service and a tasty Vermicelli Bowl without the bean sprouts (++). Good portion of grilled pork that was "lean" and 100% edible (not like some places where the pork has chunks you can't chew). Clean place and mellow music in the background all for an even $13 before tax and tip.

    Review is for take-out via GrubHub. Nut allergy friendly for the dishes I ordered. We ordered the bun bo hue with extra noodle and the pho dac biet (special) with extra noodle. I did not see any bun bo hue extra noodles when we got home unfortunately. The extra pho noodles were clearly in another container, as the main containers have the noodles under the vegetables. Highly suggest heating the broth to near boiling to cook the meat enough if you are driving 10 or more minutes away. Otherwise you risk eating raw beef. Normal for any take out pho. The portions were excellent and the flavors were solid. Nice little containers of Sriracha and hoisin provided. I would like to have some lime included. The pho was solid. The bun bo hue was a little thinner and more oily than others I've had, but also was very tasty. I would recommend for scratching the authentic pho itch!

    I was craving pho so I ordered some to go and was not disappointed. I can't speak on the service much since I did not dine in but my food was ready pretty quick and the inside of the restaurant looked nice. My food was really good! The broth was pretty good and my meal was a good size. It's hard to judge pho because it pretty much completely depends on the broth but I think this place was really good.

    Best BBH in Austin. I have lived here since 1980, so I have had them all.. Simple broth and meats. Its not authentic with the pork blood or pork knuckles but I dont eat those anyways.

    Pork spring rolls
    Jessica R.

    10/10 will be back again. We ordered way too much but it was affordable and incredibly delicious. Service was friendly, the place was clean and felt family owned. Pork spring rolls and beef bao buns with peanut sauce on the side, brisket & steak pho, and chicken banh mi were all literal perfection. I plan to go back 100 times. Sooooo good!

    Beef V1. Vermicelli with Grilled Beef Bowl
    Dan K.

    Shocking myself that I'm giving V Cafe a 4 star rating even though nothing was what I was expecting! I'm going to echo Silas and say "Shockingly good!" in this unassuming parking lot. I got the beef vermicelli bowl with a fried eggroll and Thai tea. I also snatched one of my companions grilled pork bao as well. Almost everything that came out, I wanted to NOT like but ended up liking anyway. The vermicelli was a bit wet (possibly with some oil?) when I got it, for which I like it to be dry and then I wet it with the Nước chấm / fish sauce, but the flavors were good. The beef was not grilled with char marks nor flavored with lemongrass, but the flavors were good. There was not an abundance of textures in the bowl (I did steal the sprouts from my dining companion's pho) but the flavors were good. The eggroll was the puffy fried skin ones which I don't prefer. (But the flavors were... Actually, I'm going to leave that there). The Thai Tea was good. Little you can do there to mess that up. Grilled Pork Buns were sweet and fluffy. Long story short... I really did enjoy the meal and even though things were not the way I expected them, they were delicious. Check out V Cafe and keep an open mind!

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.

But it also has egg and scallions and pate; overall the combo is satisfying. Separate from takeout, we decided to go for an early dinner.

It came with two runny side up eggs, pate, two types of cured pork, beef gravy, and a handful of cilantro. The baguette came on the side, as did the mixed salad of lettuce and tomato. The salad had some dried shrimp, fish sauce, and a slightly sweet dressing. The restaurant itself is located in the Chinatown Center on N Lamar. It's a small corner shop. Lots of mirrors and glass.

You place your order at the front before being seated, which was an easy process. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and my husband ordered the Sip Pho. Both broths were rich and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. My Bun Bo Hue came with a beef rib that was tender and delicious. One unique thing was the noodles in the Sip pho bowl--they were slightly thicker than vermicelli, which was different but not a big deal. For drinks, I ordered the Matcha Green Thai Tea. It had an interesting flavor combination, but the matcha taste was a bit overpowered by the green Thai tea. It was still enjoyable, though slightly too floral and sweet for my personal preference. The prices were very reasonable, and they offered a great variety of pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Next time I visit, I'd love to try the egg rolls since I noticed many people ordering them. The only downside was parking. There are about six spots in front of the restaurant, with additional parking in the back. It was a little difficult to find a spot, likely because we visited on a weekend.

Sip Pho was good but nothing special in my opinion. I'd probably skip this spot next time I'm in Austin.

And honestly it's better than any fancy restaurant out there. I love the amount of plants in the space and the TV plays cooking videos and it's so nice to watch while waiting for your food! 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)! The chicken pho is also so delicious it tastes better than I make it at home! So much flavor. The drinks are so good as well. They also give you a big portion and I normally have leftovers, but the portion size is amazing for the price that you pay. It's definitely more affordable and such a bang for your buck. This is definitely a spot to try and trust me, you'll probably fall in love! If I was an Austin tourist I would definitely hit up this restaurant. I could go on and on about this restaurant.
