    Leftover of my banhmi
    Jarrett L.

    Today I waited 30 minutes for a pick up order after showing up later than the estimated pick up time. I ordered 2 banhmi sandwiches. While I waited I saw over a dozen plates of food come out. Finally after waiting for 20 minutes I asked about the food, they told me 2 more minutes. 10 minutes later, they finally brought out my two sandwiches. Some of the worst service Ive had to deal with during a pick up order. However, the Banhmi deal was very good and the sandwich was bussin. Would probably just dine in next time.

    Pork belly bun
    Eric G.

    They are currently located in the bun belly restaurant and offer to go meals only as far as I can tell. This worked out well for me because I really just wanted to takeout a vermicelli bowl. Ordering online was a breeze and only took about 20 min to be ready. I didn't intend to buy the pork belly bun, but am glad i impulsively did so. The pork was perfectly cooked and flavored, and went well with the other fillings. The vermicelli beef bowl was delicious and substantial for a reasonable price. They didn't back off on the flavoring, which I feel like sometimes happens at other locations. Overall definitely would recommend you try them out if you're in search of some refreshing Vietnamese food!

    Hair in my food!!
    Amber P.

    Ordered through Lunchdrop and requested no jalapeños on the order. My dish came with jalapeños but I was hungry trying to eat before a meeting, so I was diligently removing them and came across a large/long piece of HAIR!! Called the restaurant and the owner at first denied it and I said I have a picture of the hair and the jalapeños and requested a refund. He said that Lunchdrop would have to resolve that or he could provide me with credit there. I won't be eating there again, especially if at first you rudely deny my claims and then just brush me off to figure it out on my own. It was the restaurants fault that my food was not edible though!! Absolutely disgusting!! Only 1 star bc no stars is not an option!!

    Food is fine. But service is slow as duck. Don't get me wrong, I get used to and love the authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Meaning I am totally fine almost love seeing grumpy waiters, but here is just different, you will see people waking in in the front and just been ignored for like 5min. Same with to go order. I understand there is staff shortage but the surrounding restaurants aren't like this. I been giving this places 3 chances, won't coming back. The new location sucks. I don't know how you people leave 4-5star reviews. Change my mind

    Ordered a Vietnamese coffee for pick up and they had it ready for me behind the counter once I got there. They added ice and handed it to me once I got there. And this is what I got. If your gonna pay $5 for a coffee at least fill it up to the top.

    Beef rice bowl
    Irene V.

    I got the beef rice bowl to go. The order was ready on time and pick up is inside of Bun Belly. I would say I overall, the flavor of the beef and rice was really good. I was disappointed however, in the quality of the beef. Many of the pieces were more fat than beef and some pieces were all fat. I ended up not eating about a quarter of the meat. The vegetables were also soaked in butter, which I'm also not a fan of, especially as part of an Asian dish. I don't think the flavors go well together and the amount of butter was uncomfortable for me. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be going back.

    Beef pho $9
    Ruochen W.

    This small establishment is a lot livelier and memorable on the interior that what initially meets the eye. The shop owner was so friendly, eagerly explaining all the items on the menu, cracking jokes while serving food, and practively offering to take our trays away when we finished. This degree of customer service is a rarity itself. The beef pho is a giant bowl of deliciousness. I always like my beef a little rarer to showcase extra freshness and this place delivered. The broth also packs a rich flavor. For drinks, the Vietnamese coffee is a good one and though the peach mojito didn't taste as minty as I expected, it was still refreshing. A wonderful hole in the wall that I recommend to anyone around the area. For UT students, it's just a short bus trip away!

    We just dined here and hope to be back again! We ordered the Lemongrass Beef Rice Box, Turmeric Fish Rice Box, and beef pho. Everything was fresh and tasty with the garlic rice and veggies that accompany the rice boxes being the star of the show. I think the fish was better than the beef. Here's what I think they could do to improve (it's almost perfect!) Offer a small size of pho (for kids) or something small/kid size because the plates are large and some kids may not want to share with their family. None of their food is such that the quantity can not be reduced for a smaller portion. Having some scissors to cut the noodles would be great too (like Vietnamese Restaurants usually have) but this is certainly not a deal breaker. I had to share a bowl of pho with my 3 year old and he couldn't eat the noodles and was gagging trying to get them down. I can see why this place has such great reviews.

    I love Vietnamese food and have had a ton of great Vietnamese food here in Austin. This is definitely on my list of top places, but it could use a little work. While I got a lot of pork and the flavor on it was excellent, a lot of it was just fat unfortunately. Also the veggies had some pretty great flavors, more intense than other vermicelli bowls I've had before but I really would have loved more veggies. They should include an option when ordering online to add extra veggies!!

    Heo is nothing outstanding. Not too bad nor good either. The interior is cute with all the Vietnamese food paintings on the wall. The parking is atrocious though. I had their pho. It was okay. I have a feeling that their bowl was big, but the food portions itself weren't very large. I would rather go have Vietnamese food where the older Vietnamese people at Austin actually go to. The parking was horrible. Heo is located at a super busy part of Austin close to Lamar. You cannot get out of the parking spaces at Heo without directly backing out onto Lamar. If cars are coming, which cars always are, then you'll have to rely on the generosity of someone else on the road to let you go. If you can, park somewhere else rather than the parking designated for Heo.

    Really enjoyed coming by for some so food to heal me on a rainy day! You order at the back and then sit yourself down, there's a condiment bar with sriracha and hoisin and napkins and utensils (they give you spoons if needed when your food comes out) Very quick service (food came out in like 5 min) and the man up front was friendly! Also they came over and clean up for you when you leave. The pho comes in a 40oz bowl but there aren't enough noodles to make it really "large" or shareable, I would say it's definitely just one serving. Fortunately for me, I only wanted a little bit of the broth and maybe a few bites so I stole from my friend. The beef inside was VERY delicious, very juicy and soft. I also got a pork belly bao and THAT was also juicy and soft. Probably one of the best pork belly Bao's I have ever had! Good size meat as well. Melted in my mouth. The pork sausage that comes in 3s on a stick was also really good! Wish there had been more sauce because it was on the saltier side but I still liked the flavor. Lastly, the fries. And the sauce was some kind of honey mustard type orange sauce but it was so good! Like tater tots but maybe a little crispier. The sauce really makes it amazing.

    Pork Belly Banh Mi
    Jenna Z.

    Stopped by here for dinner. It was a bit suspicious because when I walked in there was nobody inside but the owner soon walked in and took my order. I got the Pork Belly Banh Mi. It came with tater tots that were flattened and tasted so much better than regular tater tots. They also gave spicy Mayo on the side. The Banh Mi was really good. The pork belly was very soft and melted in your mouth. It also came with a very sweet and delicious sauce on top. Overall, very satisfying, worth it, and delicious! Will definitely come back again :)

    Phuong O.

    I honestly stopped by because of their store name. Parking in front was crazy but i managed to get out, i would recommend parking in the back! I only got the Vietnamese coffee to go and it tasted different from the usual but it was alright. It for sure had an extra ingredient to it. Heeeeeeeeee Heo!!

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.
