    Was up north for an event and in the mood for Asian cuisine, so decided to stop at Bep Saigon for dinner. They have an extensive menu with dishes made ​​from professional Vietnamese chefs with unique recipes. There was plenty of parking onsite and we were greeted quickly and seated upon arrival. The restaurant had a large crowd which is usually a good sign. The menu was so extensive it was hard to decide what to order. I ended up going with the Buddha's Delight with broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, Napa cabbage & mushrooms stir fried in brown sauce. I ended up getting the beef for my protein. I didn't really like the flavor profile and the veggies were drowning in sauce. I had to drain some of the sauce off the plate because it was a bit over saturated. I added an egg roll and egg drop soup. The egg drop soup had a dark brown color and not the normal flavor profile, it was somewhat bitter. Someone in my party ordered the vermicelli bowl with beef. I had high expectations for this place, but the food just did not meet my expectations.

    First time at Bep Saigon and we loved it! Service was friendly and quick, and we were easily able to find multiple vegetarian options. The Vietnamese pancake appetizer was excellent- such an amazing mix of crispy and chewy texture, and we loved the pan fried flat noodles. Another great crispy/chewy texture combination. We are definitely adding Bep Saigon into our regular rotation!

    pho dac biet

    really good banh bot chien! could be crispier, but i love the addition of pickled radish and carrots the dip was also tangy and savory 10/10 pho dac biet was okay, the amount of noodles they give is insane - definitely 2 portions a tad sweeter than im accustomed to, otherwise is standard enough for a craving

    This is a rather impressive restaurant serving up Vietnamese fare. They appear to be open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm. It's located north of the AMC, directly on the north side of the P. Terry's. Parking is plentiful. Interestingly, this was the first time I had a stir-fried rice noodle that was slightly crunchy. Their Hủ Tiếu Áp Chảo has a crispy fried exterior and a soft and slightly chewy interior. Basically, they are rice noodles that are pressed together and then cut into flat squares. These are stir-fried with protein and veggies; they are quite delicious. Their beef luc lac Bò Lúc Lắc is also fantastic. The beef chunks are uniformly sized, cooked with onions, and served on top of a bed of lettuce and tomato slices. Served with a lemony black pepper sauce on the side. The Thịt Kho Tàu, or braised pork belly, came in a small caldron with chunks of braised pork belly, scallions, and fried eggs, with a savory brown sauce. Their soups are also pretty solid, though I think the aforementioned dishes pack more punch. I've also ordered their vermicelli bowls, pho, and spring rolls to go; they are decent enough. A weakness I would point out about this restaurant is their rice, which is served with the beef luc lac and the braised pork belly. It's the same feeling you might get as getting a fly in your soup or crunchy insects in your salad or cooked (but perhaps not well-cleaned) leafy greens. In this case, their steamed rice comes with way too many grains that have black spots. Sure, perhaps some insect larvae had a good time nomming on the rice kernels before being harvested, but I essentially always have to inspect every single grain for blemishes. By far, this restaurant serves rice with one of the highest densities of damaged grains, and it's no fun when you start mistrusting your food. This issue has occurred on multiple repeat visits, so I would encourage them to take their rice preparation more seriously, or at least use higher quality rice. In terms of payment, if you eat in, it's likely they may be short staffed a bit, so if you want to pay, venturing up front to pay is a good tactic.

    Braised pork belly
    Xi T.

    I tried their Bún bò Huế, braised pork belly, and pan-fried flat noodles with seafood combo--and I really enjoyed all of them. The flavors are delicious and a bit different from the usual, which made the experience even more interesting. Bún bò Huế This dish comes with thick, rod-shaped rice noodles in a flavorful broth. The soup is rich and tasty, with a comforting depth. It includes a piece of pork hock that's pleasantly chewy--so if you like your pork hock fall-off-the-bone soft, this might not be the best fit. There's also one piece of blood cake that's very soft and has a clean flavor--nothing too intense. If you're not into blood cake, just let your server know or skip this dish. It's served with a side of Thai basil, bean sprouts, and a small cup of sauce. I think the sauce might be made with tiny fried fish, maybe shrimp, and a bit of sugar. It's sweet, savory, and full of umami. I added it to the broth after finishing the noodles, and honestly, it made the soup even better. Pan-Fried Flat Noodles with Seafood Combo I love this dish! The flat noodles are made from rice and seem to be either steamed or boiled first, then a couple of layers of flat noodles were added to the pan, pan-fried (not stir-fried) like a pancake, and finally cut into large, wide pieces. The outside is golden brown and crisp, while the inside stays soft and chewy--such a satisfying contrast. The seafood combo includes shrimp, squid, scallops, carrots, and broccoli. The seafood is tender and juicy, and the vegetables are still crunchy--so if you prefer softer veggies, just be aware of that. Personally, I like the texture contrast, and it shows that the chef has strong wok skills. Braised Pork Belly This dish is full of flavor. Braised meat is usually cooked with soy sauce, so it may contain gluten. The pork belly is soft and melt-in-your-mouth rich, with a good balance of fat and meat. It's served with two "tiger skin" eggs--what my family calls eggs that are hard-boiled, peeled, and deep-fried to create a golden, textured surface. A familiar and comforting touch. The dish comes with steamed rice, and if you're not into fatty meats, there's also a braised fish option. Overall Experience I'd personally give the food a 4.5, but since there's no option for half-stars, I rounded up to 5. The service was friendly, the wait time was reasonable, and parking was easy. Most dishes come with steamed rice, different styles of rice noodles, or vermicelli. If you're looking to avoid gluten, this is a great place to check out.

    My family and I came here for lunch, and we were happy overall with our meal. Staff were very attentive and food was tasty. Restaurant is clean and easy to find parking. I felt like the food was authentic to Vietnam and prepared well. Portion sizes are on the smaller size for entrees (we did family style) and food took a while to come to the table. We ordered the bo luc lac (shaken steak) and a Vietnamese fish soup. All were good but I've had better at other places. Side note: requesting and incentivizing customers to give perfect ratings is misleading. This place has several signs inside where they will offer a free item or discount if you show a perfect review.

    Buddha's Delight Lunch with chicken
    Dah Zhung S.

    I came into the restaurant and ordered the Buddha delight with chicken. It was a lunch special so it came with a hot and sour soup, egg roll, and I upgraded to fried rice. Would've been a great deal had the food been better. No chopsticks were given. I understand the quality of to go orders will always go down some. But the order came out fresh and I took a bite immediately in the car. The chicken was dry and rubbery. The "fried" rice was regular steamed rice cooked in stock. Not crispy at all and completely lacking flavor. Uncle Roger would've died eating it just so he could roll over in his grave at how bad it was. Hot and sour soup and egg roll were ok but nothing special. I really wanted to like this place and the reviews had been good. One of the workers at the restaurant was kind and considerate and offered me a place to sit away from the front door because it was cold and breezy. Maybe the Vietnamese food is better?

    Jelly Fish Salad
    Rebecca L.

    No matter how many Vietnamese spots open in Austin, I still remember being one of the first customers at Bếp Saigon and it's a place that's consistently solid over the years. On weekdays, it's my go-to for quick, flavorful lunches. On evenings and weekends, I like bringing friends or family to enjoy their more traditional, shareable Vietnamese dishes like Bánh Xèo (crispy Vietnamese crepe), Canh Chua (hot and sour soup) or Cá Kho (braised caramelized fish in clay pot). Here are some of my favorite dishes I've tried over time: Gỏi Sứa / Jellyfish salad with herbs and shredded veggies ($18) Bánh Xèo / Vietnamese crispy crepe($18) Bánh Khọt / Mini crispy coconut pancakes Bò Lúc Lắc / Shaking beef Hủ Tiếu Áp Chảo / Crispy pan-fried flat rice noodles (always extra crispy!) Tôm Rang Muối / Jumbo Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($17) Bánh Bột Chiên / Fried rice flour cake with egg Heo Xào Lá Quế Thái / Thai Basil Pork Bún Bò Huế / Spicy beef noodle soup Canh Chua / Tamarind-based sour soup with veggies and pineapple hot pot style Cá Kho Tộ / Braised fish in clay pot Bonus tip: their catering is excellent. Their portions are plentiful, well-packed, and they'll make solid recommendations if you're not sure what to order. Super helpful for parties or company gatherings.

    Banh khot. 7 pieces for 7.95. The sweet coconut sauce on top is weird!
    Phuong C.

    Definitely an upgrade from what it used to be! Under new management about a year ago, they did some lux renovations and changed out the menu. On this Friday evening when I was so hungry, I was welcomed by the new owner. Who suggested the fish fillet, which was their special of the day. They even have the whole fish option too. I must say that the food options and flavors were fantastic! It completely changed my view compared to what was in the past. I was craving for their rice, cake omelette/ banh bot chien. And the flavors, the texture were way better than expected and compared to other places! A must order. My Vietnamese family loved all the other entrees as well. The crispy fried egg noodles with seafood (was not seafood, more like a combo) (the presentation was a bit off. But the crispiness and flavors were definitely a ticket to come back. The fish fillet was plump, moist and went well with the sweet & sour sauce and white rice. The panfried rice noodles with combination meats were well enjoyed. And the Chinese tangy orange chicken that came with a cup of wonton soup, was inhaled. Bravo, Bep Saigon! I'm impressed with your flavors and will definitely be back to try some more.

    Tia V.

    The food was okay but overall kind of hit or miss. The bun rieu had nice flavor but was way a bit salty, and the banh bot chien was just decent, different from what I'd imagined. My Thai iced tea and coffee didn't come out until the end of the meal, though they did comp the drinks, which I appreciated. Service was friendly, but the restaurant could definitely be a bit cleaner. Not a terrible experience, just not great either.

    Bun Bo Hue
    Lori H.

    I would recommend checking this place out. Overall, this is a great spot to stop by for Vietnamese food. They also serve a good amount of Chinese dishes. Food: I ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari and the Bun Bo Hue. Each dish had great flavors. I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items on their menu. Service: the staff was friendly and attentive. They checked on me throughout my meal and made sure I was taken care of. Ambiance: It's a nice family-owned business. The restaurant was clean and had a good, homey feel.

    Vivian L.

    I've been to the restaurant several times and still haven't tried the pho! There's so many more options to explore. Absolutely love the canh chua and banh bot chien. Lucky to live very close to this establishment when craving viet food other than pho.

    Shaken' Steak
    Nicolle M.

    This is our new go to spot! Delicious food, great service, and clean restaurant. We ordered the egg drop soup, shaken beef, jellyfish salad and catfish pot- all were excellent. Our favorite was the shaken beef and I always love egg drop soup. There was something about this soup however that was so rich- I'll be back for more! Overall highly recommend for Vietnamese!

I promptly received an email acknowledging the issues, with promise to communicate that forward. I also received a credit. The timeliness of the response made it clear to me that there is an eye to quality control and that there's earnestness in making things better. I'll raise my "C-" to a "B-" and will give them another chance. ------------- Delivery: It took 1hr 25min for an order of soup, spring rolls, and lettuce wraps to be delivered... on a Monday... after lunch rush... when the restaurant location is less than 2 miles away. Online order: 1:03p; food in hand: 2:27p. That was a bummer. It's normally 30-40 minutes. Food: The small container of the dipping sauce (packed in the spring roll container) had a warped, melted lid... it was packed at the top of my complete order bag, and I suspect that it sat under a heat lamp for about 40 minutes. The spring rolls were soft and pithy and soaked in in the sauce. Kinda yucky. No crunch left. Food: I ordered chicken lettuce wraps. That came in a bi-partition container; lettuce on one side and chicken on the other. The lettuce was totally limp. The lettuce was dark green and looked like it was the nasty stuff you might peel off of a head of lettuce that sat too long in your refrigerator drawer. I'm sure it started out fresh when the meal was packed, but putting it in a container with hot food, and then next to a container of soup, and then letting it all sit under a heat lamp for 40 minutes did it no good. I did contact Tso's online and suggested that they pack lettuce separately for their lettuce wraps. Food: The chicken, the hot & sour soup, and the spring rolls were all a bit salty... saltier than usual, IMHO. Tso's is usually a solid "B", but this meal barely met a "C-".
