    Banh Mi Vit Quay
    Tonyia F.

    I love Vietnamese food. It's so healthy and packed with spices and flavors and so fresh. My gut never feels like trash after eating this goodness of food. All this place is hidden on the side of HMart, they offer a variety of different meals that are inexpensive. From drinks to soups to dishes, you're bound to find something that will satisfy your hunger.

    This is a small restaurant, and the service was good. My son got a beef banh mi and really enjoyed it. He also ordered the sugar cane drink. It tried it. It was very sweet, slightly thick, with an interesting flavor. He enjoyed it. I ordered the pho with beef eye round. The broth was really good as were the portions of ingredients. I really enjoyed it.

    Came here to try vegetarian friendly option! We had a meat alternative beef banh mi! It was okay but definitely something enjoyable to eat. Next time, I'd like to try tofu one.

    Grilled Chicken Rice

    Ordered the grilled chicken and rice to-go. While the flavors were on point (loved the sauce it came with) the chicken ratio to rice way wayyy off in my opinion. There was not enough protein to balance out the plate, and it seemed overpriced because of this. I think there are other Vietnamese food options that have much better portion sizes to justify the price better!

    This little shop is located on the corner of HMART plaza. Parking was easy and the restaurant had seating (limited due to size of shop). It seemed like people came in to order to go but we came in and dined in. We got banh mi's and chicken potstickers. The beef and pork banh mi's were good but for $9 a banh mi, expecting to have more meat. Also, I didnt see much mayonnaise and the pickled veggies could've been pickled more. The potstickers looked deep fried and not pan fried- interesting, but flavor was there. I am from houston so definitely have had better banh mi's but for austin, this place is decent (giving 4 stars as the bread tasted good and veggies were fresh). If there was 3.5 stars, i'd give that. Bit expensive for portion.

    There are peanuts served with the vermicelli and fish sauce. I didn't mention my nut allergy when ordering banh mi but I had no issues. Plenty of parking nearby. They have a nice little bookshelf inside too. Ordered via Toast To-Go. I was shocked to find pate is not included on the banh mi by default and costs and extra $1.50! We ordered a pork and beef banh mi with no modifications, and shared half of each. Both of us greatly preferred the beef banh mi (3.5/5) because it was more juicy and flavorful than the pork banh mi (2.5/5). The pork banh mi was dry. Overall, both banh mi were lacking in protein for the price. The bread was good but smaller than other banh mi I've had, especially at the price. Vegetables seemed solid, though do be aware that the jalapenos aren't de-seeded. Overall, I'd say the banh mi are average and on the pricier side.

    Simple order. Totally wrong. Not sure how to say to improve other than more attention to detail.

    bahn mi combo good, but, please do better on the bread!

    Stopped in for lunch today because we found this place on Yelp on our way to Cedar Park. Nice restaurant, right off 183, friendly staff. Menu is not expansive but varied enough for most people. We zeroed in on the Bahn Mi sandwiches. I had the combo (with ham/pate, etc.) and also ordered a pork spring roll. The pork spring roll was really good, nice and plump and the pork was 'wrapped' around the veggies and the rice paper covered it all so you could see how much pork you were getting and it was a generous amount. Now for the main event. I loved everything about the Bahn Mi *except* the bread. I'm very picky about my Bahn Mi's and, although it *looked* like real french bread, it was not what I'm used to. First the insides... lots of stuff and appropriately portioned so that you get a little of everything with every bite. I love it when a restaurant pays attention to that type of detail, it really makes a difference to get that spectrum of flavors in one bite. Also, the meat/pate portions were generous, moreso than other Viet places, and the right amount of jalapenos as to not be overly heated. So, the bread. It looked like French bread but when I eat my French bread *anything* I expect to have a mess of crumbs when I'm done. No crumbs here so if they're calling it French Bread, I'd suggest they change their recipe to make it crumbly on the outside and soft on the inside like many other Vietnamese places do. So we bump you for 1 star on that important part. I'd definitely come back, if I'm way north again, as there are other menu items that look very worthy of trying. Lastly the prices for the sandwiches are very fair. In fact, we felt like almost all of their menu items were not Austin prices yet so I hope they don't get greedy like some other Viet places and unnecessarily start charging big city prices!

    This small Vietnamese restaurant being right next to H-mart is easily missed due to it being in the shadow of a giant but the food here is very good. Authentic flavors and lots of flavor. The interior is small so don't expect to dine in with more than 4 people but their banh mi is great as a take out. There was a jalapeño in there which did catch me by surprise (it was at the ends of the sub). The pork had a really nice subtle sweet marinate which went really well with the cucumbers and carrots! The bun is toasted as your order is made so no need to worry for soggy buns either!

    1. Banh Mi Thit Nuong - Grilled Pork Sandwich

    We wanted to try somewhere new and wandered over to Banh Mi Galang. When we stepped in, the general ambiance was not very presentable. It looked like we walked into someone's house instead of a restaurant. There was a random folding table that looked like it was for personal use. We ordered spring rolls and banh mis. While the spring rolls came out within 5 min, the sandwiches took nearly 20 min. The banh mis ($8.50 each) weren't good and also very small for the price paid. Although tasty, the spring rolls were $3 each and we wouldn't pay that much had we known how many rolls we were going to get. In total we paid $23 + tax for 2 spring rolls and 2 banh mis, lol. Baguette House, near MT Supermarket, offers more for less, with larger portion sizes. We'll avoid Banh Mi Galang in the future.

    Good choice for Vietnamese food in far North Austin. My go to order there and at most Vietnames restaurants is the pork vermicelli bowl. Their pork is very flavorful and I like that they have recently started adding crispy onions but the quality and quantity of their veggies is lower than other places I prefer. My husband recently tried the pork banh mi and raved about it noting the bread was very fresh and there was just the right balance of meat, veggies, and bread. The restaurant itself doesn't offer much in terms of atmosphere. The restaurant is overall clean but you can see where crumbs and such have gathered in the cushions of the booths. The drinks are in cans or bottles and kept in a cooler for you to grab yourself with their excess drinks stacked in the corner between the counter and the dining area. A little more care in the layout and cleaning would help improve the atmosphere. The staff there have always been kind and attentive. The price is pretty on par with other similar restaurants in the area.

    After landing in San Antonio yesterday to kick off my summer vacation, the very first thing I did…read moretoday was ask my friend to bring me back to this restaurant. The reason is simple: we ate here two years ago, and it left such a great impression on us that we had been looking forward to coming back ever since. Fortunately, not much has changed in terms of either the quality or the overall presentation of the food. Everything is still delicious, especially the Pho Combo. To be honest, it's far better than most of the pho we've had in Germany. That doesn't mean the pho in Germany is bad--it simply means this place matches my personal taste much better. As for the downsides, they're almost exactly the same as before. Parking is still a major challenge, and I understand that's probably not something the restaurant can easily fix. We also tried calling ahead to reserve a table, but they don't take reservations, whether you're coming with a group of 5-7 people or just 2-3 people. We arrived at 6:45 PM and still had to wait about 40 minutes before being seated, which was honestly quite inconvenient. Coincidentally, there was live music tonight, which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the sound system wasn't very good, so it was difficult to hear what the singers were performing. Then again, this isn't really the type of venue where people come specifically to enjoy live music, so most diners didn't seem to pay much attention to it. One thing I did notice was that either the kitchen has made a few changes over the past two years, or perhaps my own taste has changed a little. The food felt slightly saltier than I remembered, and the pho broth was richer and creamier. While that added some depth of flavor, it was a bit too rich for my liking, to the point where finishing the entire bowl of broth felt a little overwhelming. The braised short ribs were incredibly tender--so tender that a knife was almost unnecessary, and they could easily be pulled apart with just a fork. While many people would probably see that as a positive, I actually missed the slightly firmer, meatier texture I remembered from my last visit. That said, these are relatively minor issues. The quality may have dipped just a little compared to our previous visit, but this is still an excellent restaurant. If they can fine-tune those small details, it would easily return to being one of my favorite places. There's a good chance we'll stop by one more time before heading back to Germany.

    Is it that time of year for another 1618 update? Absolutely…read more After my umpteenth visit, I think it's safe to say I've worked my way through almost the entire menu (minus a few noodle, chicken & vegetarian dishes). My 2025 review still stands, but after so many visits, I've noticed a few items haven't been good as they used to, particularly the chicken wings (and yes, all three of them). The Garlic Wings haven't been hitting quite the same. They've started to taste a little dry, and the saucier wings taste better the next day since they don't have time to steep through once served. The Filet Mignon Pepper Steak is still my favorite dish on the menu, but I still can't justify ordering it family-style anymore. It's delicious, but the portion just doesn't match the price. One of the newest additions--the Truffle Fried Rice is spectacular. It's light, not overpowering with truffle, and the fish eggs really adds the perfect little pop of texture/flavor. I don't think I breathed the entire time I scarfed it down!! 1618 is still one of my favorite restaurants in Austin of all time, but I think it's time for the menu to elevate a bit and dive deeper into less mainstream Asian cuisine. If anyone can do it, 1618 can.

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.

    I've been to this place many times and every time, I love it!…read more First of all, I just love coming here the seating and the space is so relaxing and such a perfect place to eat and talk. 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.

The server kept walking back and forth between our 2 tables and kept bumping into my chair/bag which was really annoying me. Other than that, I'd just like to point out that their prices are on the higher side for Viet food. It gave bougie Viet food vibes from the prices, which I thought was unreasonable since the ambiance wasn't anything special or over the top. Probably wouldn't come back unless I was craving their calamari.
