This place had been recommended and did not disappoint. The spring rolls and bahn mi were delicious. It was a nice change from all the bbq and Mexican food in Austin. Although we love that too! Service was great, very friendly and professional. Inside and outside seating...we chose the inside due to ac! read more

I don't know why reviews for this place aren't better because I had an amazing experience! from the outdoor seating (feels like Europe?) to the service to the food everything was amazing. I got a mocktail that honestly tasted like a cocktail with a nice bitter touch and our group got fresh and fried spring rolls, salad, and then a few bahn mi's and I got a rice noodle salad bowl with pork which was incredible. We all loved it and had a great time! read more

A cute spot! Very lovely interior and a great patio with fans and shade. Service was pretty good the times I went and they are very accommodating for a gluten and dairy allergies. Lots of options! I like their Bun bowl with grilled chicken the best. The fried rice was pretty good but I didn't love the steak and it was heavy on bean sprouts. The chicken crunch spring roll was just okay. The latter two were pretty pricey so the bun bowl definitely feels best value. Also generally love the shrubs--though some are definitely better than others. Lots of NA options though which is appreciated, as well as fun cocktails. read more

WOW!! This place was PERFECT!! I was a bit hesitant at first with the bakery-Vietnamese fusion but guys: this place is AWESOME!! The Singapore noodles were to die for and the chicken vermicelli bowl was generous and delicious! My little brother loved the nutella banana hazelnut crepe and we all enjoyed the summer rolls (shrimp and pork was our favorites)! We came at around 1 PM, and they were slammed with customers ( now I see why) and was a 20 minute wait time. As visitors to Austin, we took this opportunity to walk around the business area and it was lovely! If it's nice, make sure to sit outside because it's lovely!! Staff were super friendly and food was incredible! Please please please check this place out because it will blow your mind! read more

1) 2 stars for ambiance. This café is so cute. It says it's right on the corner with the patio and then an inside, intimate seating area. During the day, it's really lively and at night it's very quaint and sweet, perfect for a date 2) food is 1 star. The spring rolls were mostly rice, the pork was extremely chewy and overcooked. The salad that I got was also very underwhelming, although the dressings were really good. Probably due to location, but I would say this place is overpriced / overrated. Brunch has some great options but again hit or messed with the protein, being overcooked or the portions being really small. 3) I would rate the service 1 star. We waited at least 15 minutes for water. And the server walked by at least three times without seeing if I needed anything. While they might be understaffed, this really took away from the experience. read more

Didn't love the service here and thought the food was over priced and mostly over-rated. I did love the decor! The red curry Dan Dan noodles were spicy and hot, perfect for rainy day meal, but the chicken was grizzly and not so yummy. My partners shrimp banh mi was ok but not wowed.

Way better experience this time around. We got seats at the bar for an impromptu lunch date. The fried chicken bahn mi is what dreams are made of.

The infamous shrimp rolls were delicious. The cucumber and mango salad was actually very refreshing, light and a hefty serving. Service was not to my liking, I wasn't greeted or brought water until 15 min of me waiting around for a menu when I was seated and service throughout was lackluster. It's best to uber here or find street parking if possible as there's only 2-3 spots available in front of the restaurant. This place is still worth a try despite the service and a good mix off cuisine in Austin. read more

Very friendly and cute place. They were very accommodating to our group as we had a few changes during the week leading up to it. I'm really glad I came. It is a really cute place. We were inside. It gets a little loud but for the most part, it was OK. Outside looked really nice as well, especially this time of year (November). Everyone seemed happy with their dishes. They came out promptly and warm. I had the Singapore noodles, which were really good (a little spicy but in a good way). We also shared benigets and they came out warm-- such a treat! Some of us were lucky enough to get street parking right outside. Parking is a little bit tough but it's Austin so it's normal. I would come here again for sure! read more

Only come here if you have no other options for food and are in desperate need of sustenance. Tried the banh mi, summer rolls, and Singaporean noodles. Everything was disappointing, except for the free dessert that was comped because the kitchen brought out clumpy Singaporean noodles that tasted stale...twice because the second order was just as terrible. The server also overfilled a water and let it spill all over the table and drip onto the chair where I put my phone and purse. But she didn't even notice and I had to ask for napkins to dry my phone lol. The one plus is that I really liked the outdoor seating and the views. read more

Beautiful indoor decor and super cute outdoor seating as well - dog friendly! We came for happy hour i think from 3 - 5 pm for half off appetizers and $3 off specialty cocktails! We tried the fried spring rolls (amazing) And the chili oil dumplings also incredible My husband got the pork banh mi and loved it - very great flavor. I got the fried chicken bun - pretty good but as impressive as the rest of the food - will probably try something else next time. I got the melon vodka drink - super refreshing. We also got the beignets and loved them! So good!! Service was great, food came out timely and water was refilled often. read more

It was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last! We tried several starters and a couple of entrées, and everything was fantastic. The Pork Belly Steamed Buns and Steamed Rice Rolls were outstanding. We also had the Fried Spring Rolls and Ginger Chili Oil Dumplings--both excellent choices. For entrées, we ordered the Drunken Beef Noodles and Ribeye Fried Rice, which were packed with flavor. Dessert was the perfect ending: Ube Vanilla Ice Cream and a couple of macarons. The ice cream and coconut macaron were especially incredible! Abigail was our server, and she truly guided our entire experience with great recommendations and warm, attentive service. The manager even stopped by to say hello, and the entire team was so friendly and welcoming. We had an awesome first visit. If you've never been, this place is an absolute must when you're in Austin! read more

Elizabeth Street Cafe - Outdoor patio - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

This charming place had an amazing fusion of Vietnamese and French cuisines! It's pretty packed on the weekend, so arrive early if you can. I got the Red Curry Dan Dan Noodles with spice brined chicken and baby bok choy. The spicy, creamy broth was rich and clung to the noodles well. The addition of raw Thai basil, sprouts, and carrots made it super refreshing. I loved the fried garlic on top to give it extra crunch and flavor. So delicious, still thinking about it now! It came in a huge bowl that's shareable for 2. On the brunch menu, it is under the Specialties section. We were seated outside, which worked out well as the weather was great and it was loud inside. The outdoor patio had vibrant, colorful furniture and decor. The servers were very friendly and checked on us often. There are limited spots in the parking lot, but street parking is free and just a short walk. Definitely gave cozy and welcoming vibes! read more

Super cute and charming space featuring French Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the chicken pho and it warmed me up from head to toe! The chicken was tender and scrumptious. What really stood out was the grilled chicken lemongrass skewers. I have never had that before when I ordered chicken pho. The broth was authentic with not too much msg like some other places. The meal was substantial. The mini size condiment bottles were super cute too! Service was good. They do get very busy so reservations recommended. The inside is a house converted into a restaurant, and there is a cute outdoor space with heater lamps. All in all a very happy experience! read more

Service is terrible. Food is mid. If there are more than 2 people in your party don't come here. A party of a 5 plus a child they made us a share a table with strangers and charge 20% mandatory gratuity for real crappy service. There's a fee for everything. 4$ per person if you bring a cake to celebrate a birthday. They messed up our initial drink order too and said they would fix it but took forever and we had to remind our waiter only for her to give us an attitude. They wouldn't split a check. They all had a bad attitude. Would never come here again. Also, pay to park on the street. Bathroom lights are so dim you can't see anything. read more

Pho is the ultimate comfort food, this place did not disappoint. I can't speak on if it is the most authentic, but the broth was light but still flavorful. We got the beef combo; I do wish they gave a few extra pieces of the sliced eye of round beef but there was still plenty meat in the broth itself. The crispy chicken spring rolls we got made me feel good about getting my veggies in. But I think what really made them a winner were the sauces that came with it. I loved the vibe of the restraunt - they had an option for indoor and outdoor seating and the staff was so friendly. read more

The service and food are both subpar... esp for the price. Really disappointed with my experience here. Not to mention annoyed they charged a $4per person cake fee. You would think that running up a $500+ bill of food and drinks would be enough profit for them but nope! They have to charge a cake fee which ended up being over $30... extra annoying when you consider the fact you only bring a cake when it is literally someone's birthday. I do NOT recommend and have no intention of ever going back. Much better food elsewhere in Austin. read more

If you don't know Vietnamese food, maybe... don't rate Vietnamese food. This place serves some of the best Vietnamese I've had in any city, and the flavors, balance, and execution are exactly what you'd hope for if you've ever eaten beyond a mall food court. Rating this gem under four stars isn't a "difference of opinion," it's a dead giveaway that you've never actually had Vietnamese food before, or just simply don't like the style of cuisine. Everything that was laid out in front of our party of 6 was fresh and prepared with skill and extraordinary attention to detail. Our waiter Kai was kind, knowledgeable, attentive and prompt. Ten out of ten, highest recommendation possible. read more

Elizabeth Street Cafe is advertised as a French and Vietnamese restaurant, but I would say that it's more on the French side. We dined here for brunch with our large party (8 people) and they were able to accommodate us with a communal style table seating. Most of the party ordered the beef pho and I went with the bun bo hue. It tasted "cleaner" than the BBH that I'm used to and had a generous amount of meat and toppings in the bowl. Although it was a different experience, I would pass next time and just come back here for the pastries because thy were absolutely DIVINE. We ordered croissants for the table in almond, butter, chocolate, almond, and everything. Crispy, flakey, and tasty, all at once! We also ordered several banh mis to go (grilled pork was my favorite!) for the F1 event and they held up well after a few hours. The service was friendly and the interior decor is super cute. Parking is limited but there's ample street parking in the surrounding area. read more

Elizabeth Street Cafe - Almond, everything, and chocolate croissants - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came on Friday to check them out. They have a half off appetizers menu I believe starting at 3pm and it's during the week days. Parking lot is like 4 parking spaces, and 2 handicap parking. There are stairs, I didn't see a ramp. The street parking is on a narrow street, and it's just a line of cars and you pretty much better know how to parallel park. I actually got parking in their tiny lot. Went inside to check in with the host. They have inside/outside dining. Since it was still a decent weather day and just spent 2 hours walking, outside suited me just fine. They do have the cutest tables and chairs and bonus, heat lamps. I ordered the fried spring rolls. I asked how many you get and she said 6. You actually get 3 small rolls and they cut them in half. Had I paid their full price of $13.00 I would have been super disappointed. Their spring rolls are very tasty. I did enjoy them. The size and quantity will keep me from ordering them again. The fried spring rolls are good, but I will try something else next time. Used the ladies room before leaving. And the bathroom is very dark. To shine a little light, maybe it's not very hygienically clean if you can't see properly. read more

This place has been on my bucket list since moving to Austin. Finally visited last night with some friends and it didn't disappoint! Adorable, colorful little restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Outdoor seating looked nice too. I will say it is a little loud inside, so if it's not too hot, outdoor seating may be the way to go. Drinks were unique but not very boozy and overpriced as cocktails are these days. Ordered the crunchy chicken spring rolls as an appetizer and was blown away by how fresh & delicious they were! Especially when paired with one of the several dipping sauces provided - yum! We ordered the Singapore noodles as a main. Easily shareable, very generous portions all around. I can't wait to go back and try the pho, banh mi and bowl options one day soon! read more

I am scoring 2 because the kids pho broth was nice and my kiddo finished it. I appreciate that they provide the garnishment for the kids pho bc most places don't but HUGE downvote for charging $4 extra for some dry chicken. I understand that their rent is probably astronomical but it's gross to spend $25 on s small portion of Singapore noodles that have THREE shrimps. I am also sharing a photo of the "opera cake" dessert. This is not a traditional opera cake and I wish they had disclosed this. Also, it's comically small. The chicken Bahn mi is nice and I felt was priced appropriately. This was a DoorDash order so maybe you could say it's going to cost more and have poor quality for that reason but don't put your restaurant on DoorDash if you can't provide a quality product outside of you restaurant. read more

Elizabeth Street Cafe - "Opera cake". Hilarious small portion. - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really cute and quaint restaurant with inside and outside seating. Very small parking lot but plenty of street parking surrounding the restaurant and there's a parking lot with meters next door. We started with the lemonade and green tea + lemonade and both were pretty salty; we later confirmed with the waiter that they cure the lemons for the lemonade which gives it a salty flavor. We ordered the pork buns, beef pho and the flank steak banh mi. The pork buns came out super fast and were delicious - the pho and banh mi took 30+ minutes. The waiters were very nice and hospitable about it but it was almost like they did a shift change when we ordered because we ended up with a different waiter half way through our visit so I'm not sure if that attributed to it. Overall very cute and food was good! read more

Told 45 min and waited for over 1:45 min. There were 3 tables open for over an hour and they finally sat us in one of the empty after 4x asking. Food didn't match the hype. Definitely wouldn't recommend since staff couldn't have been less interested read more

Such an adorable cafe, inside and out! Can't wait to come back for lunch outside once it cools down. I had the Fried Egg Bánh Mì and wow... SO good! The bread was homemade, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. Definitely ordering it again. My husband got the Pork & Shrimp Crêpe and he really enjoyed it too. We finished with a Taro Latte and Beignets -- and oh my goodness, those Beignets were incredible! Fluffy like a croissant, not overly sweet, just perfect. Honestly, I could come back just for those. (Might skip the Taro Latte next time though.) Service wasn't super attentive, but the food and atmosphere totally make up for it. Highly recommend if you want a cute, tasty spot that's not your typical American fare. read more
