    I love an authentic mom and pop restaurant, and this spot served up delicious, authentic Vietnamese food in the popular Chinatown area in North Austin. I never would have even come across it if it wasn't for my friend who suggested we grab lunch here! Everything was quick, casual, and tasty. Very homemade flair, fresh and hot. Overall I enjoyed what I tried and would definitely revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in the large shopping center with other Asian restaurants! - Reservations? No, very casual walk-in spot. FOOD RATINGS: - Salted egg and pork bao (5/5): These were perfectly steamed and hot and fresh, and the pork was so juicy and flavorful! The salted egg was yummy and went so well. I really enjoyed this! - Wonton egg noodle soup (4/5): Classic clear broth soup with good flavor! Loved the wontons and the noodles. The meat was good, too. Very comforting bowl.

    It's a good Vietnamese food option and a nice place for family to eat. Service was quick. There are many seating tables and dessert options. Recommended for the locals and visitors.

    I really wanted to like this place because their bo kho looks delectable, but I thought everything was just okay. The broth wasn't as flavorful or rich as I expected it to be, and the bread it came with wasn't baked that well. There was also no AC inside the restaurant, and my friend and I were sweating. I can tell this restaurant is pretty authentic, but perhaps what I ordered wasn't the best. I do think it's worth another visit! Staff is very friendly.

    We were craving some Vietnamese food so we decided to swing by to because of the high reviews. We were greeted by a server who was very energetic and seated us quickly. I really liked that there was a mirror on one wall because while the sun was setting I was able to get a great view even though I wasn't seated across the windows. We wanted to order banh xeo and rice rolls but unfortunately they had stopped selling those a while ago so we ordered a vermicelli bowl and a banh mi. I loved the banh mi. The bread was so soft, it didn't hurt to bite into it or chew and the pork's temperature was like it came right off the stove. It wasn't what I expected for "grilled pork" but honestly I cannot complain because the sweet sauce that was covering the pork balanced out the hotness of the jalapeño. They didn't hold back at all with the amount of pork that they stuffed into it. The vermicelli bowl had the same pork taste that the banh mi did. There was a nice balance between lean and fatty pork meat. The noodles were thinner and shorter than I expected but the portion size was very big. To top off the meal, we got 2 coconut almond cookies on the house from our very passionate server.

    Beef Stew Egg Noodle + Grilled Pork Vermicelli w/ Egg Roll
    Amy W.

    Bep Co Tham is a bit of an unassuming establishment on the corner of the 'old chinatown' plaza. But inside, the restaurant is bright and spacious with a friendly staff. We got the Beef Stew Egg Noodles and the Pork Vermicelli with Egg rolls. The vermicelli was alright--the pork could use a bit of that char flavor. I also find it less favorable that they don't crush up the peanuts and have them on the dish as halves. But that wasn't my dish so you can take that with a grain of salt haha. The star of the show was definitely the beef stew noodles (N10 or N11 on the menu i believe). You can tell there was a lot of love put into making that stew! So much flavor! I enjoyed it lots, but towards the end, it did get a bit salty for me. For several of their noodle dishes you can pick either rice noodle or egg noodles, which is nice. We didn't get to try any of the drinks, but they have an abundance of offerings from fruit and floral teas to fresh sugarcane juice. Will definitely need to try some next time!

    Combo Broken Rice - Com Tam

    This place serves the worst seafood Hu Tieu I have ever had. If you're familiar with this dish then you can tell by the photo that the broth is flavorless and the toppings is disappointing. The moment the waiter served me the bowl, I knew I made a huge mistake. I think a bowl of instant ramen has more flavor. The broken rice combo was ok, the meat was decent, but the fish sauce was too sweet. I would give it a 1 star but I have only had the courage to try this place once. I really hope the chef screwed up just this one time.

    I was looking for some healing soup so I decided to stop in here. The waiter was very friendly, polite, and attentive. I asked for his top recommendation and he suggested the banh canh. There's not many places in Austin that offer this soup so I gave it a shot. I was definitely not let down. It was a really good portion and well seasoned. I would've loved it more if it was slightly more seasoned/salty (but maybe that's a personal preference). I also got the sugarcane juice and that was soooo good.

    We grabbed some amazing banh mi and bons to go, and let me tell you, this place was spotless! Our server was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us. The banh mi we tried was hands down the best we've had in Austin! While it felt a bit different from some of the other incredible banh mi experiences I've had--maybe it was missing a bit of that cold beet or a wider variety--overall, it was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back!

    The second time I went, had the sticky rice and banh mi and I think this is probably my favorite spot for Banh Mi special combo. Very generous fillings inside the bread. The sticky rice dish was also delicious and full of flavors. I'm a big fan of their home-made pate. Service is always good. They always greet you with a smile. Very casual spot. Will be returning.

    Veggie for Mi Quang
    Kenny N.

    I recently visited this restaurant with my family and decided to give it a try. It's located in the MT Grocery Store Plaza. The restaurant itself is a decent size, with multiple tables for both small and large groups. I ordered the broken rice dish with pork chop and Chinese sausage, along with a regular-sized sugarcane juice. Overall, it wasn't bad. I particularly enjoyed their chili paste, which had the perfect amount of spiciness for me. However, I wish the dish had included shredded pork skin. The Banh Mi was solid, with plenty of filling and a good amount of pâté on the bread. My sister had the Mi Quang and mentioned that it was decent. Overall, this place isn't bad, and I would come back to try other items on the menu. Service was okay. Did have to wait a bit before getting our order maybe because my sister was there first and told them that she still waiting for people to come.

    Food: delicious, authentic, and perfectly cooked noodles not over done, not too sweet char siu, fried pork bits (essentially chicharron) on top, with a nice mix-in sauce. Paired with a nice hot soup on the side. The coffee with the foam on top was a perfect dessert/wake-up drink Service: the waiter was very patient, kind, and attentive. He recommended the N5a.

    If you're looking for solid Vietnamese food, Bep Co Tham is an excellent choice! We've become regular customers here because the food is consistently amazing, and the staff is so sweet and attentive. They always check in to make sure we have everything we need--especially the young guy who works there, who's super kind. Today, we tried the hu tieu hai san and bo kho, and both dishes were flavorful and absolutely delicious. Co Tham has also started offering these small cakes, and we got the coffee-flavored one--it was the perfect treat to end our meal. Highly recommend this spot!

    U2. Crab Shrimp Vietnamese Udon Soup - Banh Canh Tom Cua - one of the few places in Austin to offer this and it hit the spot. 8/10
    Kim A.

    The banh canh tom cha (shrimp/crab udon soup) is likely the best you can find in Austin. Their bun rieu is great as well. In addition to their general menu, they also have bakery items such as pate so / pate chaud, banh bao, and Che. Highly recommend for good, authentic Vietnamese food.

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.

The pho was fine but nothing really stood out. It tasted good enough but did not have that depth or richness that makes you crave pho again. The mi kho dry egg noodles were also pretty mid and honestly lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing and I kept wanting to add more to make it pop. I also got the brown sugar milk tea, which I actually really liked. It was very sweet, which worked for me, but some of my friends thought it was way too sweet for their taste. Definitely something to keep in mind if you prefer lighter drinks. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty fast, which is nice when it is busy.
