    To go orders only
    Stephanie P.

    This place has been here for a while and I finally decided to give it a try as it's near my home and I really wanted a good salt and pepper shrimp or calamari. I ordered a few different items: Crab Rangoon 3/5 - some of them were pretty empty, the tops were crispy but the bottom was kind of chewy- I tried them as soon as I picked up my order so it wasn't because they were to go. The filling that I did get was good but a tad sweeter than I like. Salt and pepper shrimp: 3.5/5 pretty good and spicy but these were not crispy at all, I expected the jalapeño to be larger but it was diced. - you can choose steamed rice, plain fried rice or some other kind of rice. I picked plain fried 1/5 super bland . Garlic scallops: 2.5/5 - this should be labeled bell peppers in sweet brown sauce instead. There might have been 2 scallops total in this thing that They slice super thin like a poker chips. The dish was mainly bell peppers & was not garlic tasting either. I see why I haven't gone here before, something told me I would be disappointed. This place is to go orders only so when you walk in the left side of the restaurant is used as storage and the right side has a couple booths , obviously not for dining in. Won't be returning.

    Are the chicken dishes made with breast meat or dark (thigh) meat?

    They only use breast so white meat.

    Hidden gem for sure. Not your typical menu, seems to be a fusion of sorts. So don't expect…read moretraditional Vietnamese items, it's more creative. Service was fast, friendly and welcoming. The inside was vey inviting and tastefully decorated. We had the Beef Bulgogi Bao, this was really yummy. The bao was soft and delightful. The beef had a sweet bulgogi glaze that worked really well with it. The rest of the toppings added a nice balance without overpowering the meat. My only wish was that it was 4 baos and not two since they are so small. The highlight was the Firecracker Shrimp. Be warned this is not a spicy dish like you might think from the name. The crispy shrimp was crunchy and not soggy at all, it felt pretty clean and not greasy. It came with salad, rice and a spicy soy sauce and it was just so good. With 12 shrimp, it's definitely shareable between 2 people. Lastly we had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was $6. It tasted like Ovaltine and was mostly ice with just a few sips. I wouldn't recommend it unless the cup size is increased or the price is decreased. So overall, it's a bit pricey. The menu was also a little confusing. We checked online prior to coming and they had a lot of stuff but when at the restaurant, there were only a few items listed which caught us off guard. We actually ended up ordering the wrong item (firecracker shrimp when we actually wanted dynamite shrimp, ultimately it worked out cuz it was delicious but the problem still stands). So those are the only cons I can think off. Other than that, The place was fantastic. Did not think Hutto would have a place of this caliber. We will be back to try the rest of the items, it all looked so good. Definitely will be a repeat customer. 4.5 stars rounded up for now.

I'm from San Francisco and travel to New York monthly for work, so I'd consider myself a bit of a foodie, and this place delivered. Austin really needs more Asian street food spots like this. We were honestly shocked to find something this good in Hutto of all places. The staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming to our two toddlers, which made the experience even better. The food came out quickly and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely worth a 5-star.

The chicken and beef tasted old and sour. Crispy cold rice appetizer - rice was stale. This place appears to be on its last leg. I wouldn't pay happy hour prices for food that doesn't make my mouth or stomach feel nasty.

The food was fast and tasted good. I got the shrimp pho (not vegan) and my partner got the vegan pho with "raw" tofu (it said it came fried and we both hate deepfried tofu, so we appreciate they did that for us ). The waitress checked on us several times. That said, I would not come back here. The noise level was horrendous. The constant scraping of metal chairs on concrete and the echo chamber the tall blank walls and bare metal ceiling causes was equivalent to nails on a chalkboard for the whole meal. Additionally , the music volume was SO high. I think someone went up to talk to them About the noise and the employee just looked like he didn't care , wouldn't look at her and just kept shrugging and making a "what can you do face". I almost asked them to turn the music down too but instead wore noise canceling AirPods my whole meal :-/ it was not an enjoyable experience to be honest and canceled out the other positives i mentioned. Hope they do something about the scrapping chairs in the future. Idk-put rubber caps on them all and have extra to replace them as they inevitably fall off???
