    Eh. It was okay. We eat Vietnamese a lot. Like a LOT. So I may be a tough sell. Edamame was fine. Just had table salt on it. Eggrolls: fine Vermicelli bowl: meat was a little chewy, but the veg was fresh. Chili oil: not spicy or too flavorful. Pho: broth was good! And a nice portion. Service: lovely and felt like home. Overall: it was easy and fed us. Would I travel for it? No. Would I go back when I'm hungry and I'm a block away? Yes.

    Egg Foo Young-shrimp
    Ashley M.

    First off carrots in egg drop soup should be a criminal offense. All I could taste were the carrots, had to trash it. The egg foo young had some weird ass watery sweet gravy that really pissed me off as well. They don't include any condiments or utensils (thank goodness I was home and had some amino acid) definitely won't be back here unless I prepare the gravy myself and just don't feel like making the egg foo young. The stars are for the fast service, portions and price.

    Viet Coco Curry with egg noodles comes with shredded cabbage and other accoutrements
    Charli V.

    I was blown away by this dish!! I'm not sure if it's a traditional item or region specific in vietnam but I've never had it before. It was basically like a chicken stew. If you know what Singaporean laksa is, this dish really reminded me of it. The soup was rich, flavorful, sweet, but specifically savory. It was be great paired with some French baguette as well. I didn't particularly like the soft chicken in it but that's a personal preference. There were no bone or tendon/ligament pieces although it was very obviously cooked with chicken thighs. The service was impeccable. They are polite and prompt. Clean without the scent and ambiance it straight to the point! Would recommend for a casual meal or date night? Or even a work day lunch break. I really enjoyed it and will have a tough time deciding between this dish and the other unique ones not frequently seen down in Vietnamese restaurants in this area!!

    Grilled Shrimp Spring Rolls (back)

    Another great experience from Me Con Bistro. These (photo) are the best spring rolls I've ever had. They are grilled shrimp. The presentation was excellent, the service was great, the dining room looked very clean, nice, and inviting (I picked up to go). The spring rolls were so lovely, I had to snap a photo. I also had the Basil Fried Rice with tofu and broccoli. Everything was delicious!

    Front to back: Grilled Pork with Rice and Me Con Fried Rice
    Christina H.

    Having explored multiple Vietnamese restaurants in Austin, I've found my go-to places for pho and a few other dishes. However, I've been on a hunt for a spot that serves traditional Cơm Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese Grilled Pork with rice)--and I'm happy to say, I may have found the one in Austin. I'm pretty particular about what I want at restaurants. While I enjoy a good banh mi taco every now and then, I primarily crave something more traditional that reminds me of my childhood. Me Con fits the bill perfectly. The space is clean and modern, and the server actually understood the given Vietnamese names for the dishes I was ordering--a rare and appreciated touch. While the reviews on Yelp don't do the pho justice, the rice dishes are what won me over. Don't skip adding an egg on the Grilled Pork with rice, it's the perfect finishing touch. I also had the Me Con Fried Rice, which comes with Chinese sausage & Char Siu pork. The flavors were spot-on, though I wish the pieces of sausage and pork were larger. Overall, I'm thrilled to have found Me Con and will definitely be coming back. I'm as happy as a clam!

    Me Con Fried Rice

    This is a hidden gem nestled into a strip mall. Do not be tempted by the Taco Bell in front of it, far better things lie ahead. The decor and location may be unassuming, but the lack of grandour is made up for in the authentic flavors of the food. The Hong Kong Noodles are absolutely noodles are absolutely delicious. I could honestly have the chicken pho broth by itself and be perfectly happy with my lunch selection. The Me Con fried rice was a healthy portion and was just so good. We will definitely be coming back!

    Shrimp fries rice
    Rey K.

    I ordered the food to go. First time trying this place. I do have to say the bao steamed buns were delicious. I would definitely get it again. As for the shrimp kimchi fried rice. It was okay, I wouldn't get it again. I am going to try other items and see how they are. I'll update my review when I do order again. I would recommend this place.

    Shrimp pho
    Jessica M.

    We tried this restaurant first the first time last week. We finally had some fall-like weather and wanted pho! The potstickers were 5 stars! SO good!! Some of the best I've had. So fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to get them again. The pho was 4 stars. Your typical pho but as soon as the warm broth hits the noodles and protein it gets cold fast. The flavors are all there. U the option of getting free "extras". That's a bonus! You just need to reheat once you combine everything. I ordered online and picking up to-go. The restaurants seems small but they were busy at lunch time. The employees seemed friendly during my little time there. I can't wait to try this restaurant again!

    General Tso chicken with a native Texan beer. The chicken is nice and crispy. That's just the standard here 10/10.
    Aj F.

    This place has the best Vietnamese food in all of the hill country. Even thought the picture I am going to post is a Chinese dish. But the vermicelli is a 10/10 along with the Saigon egg rolls. I never have to wait longer than 10 months for my food. The staff is very attentive and on point with service. My son enjoys the fish tank as we walk in he restaurant that has a great view of William cannon.

    Kimchi Fries
    Keasha E.

    Small restaurant, nothing fancy but the food was delicious! Everything freshly made. Although it was pretty busy the staff was still attentive.

    Lana K.

    Came here to satisfy my Vietnamese food craving. The interior is clean, simple and cozy. There are QR codes all over the restaurant to view the menu. I had done my research ahead of time. My take out order was taken immediately and the items were delivered just as quickly. Friendly, attentive service. I ordered the Saigon egg rolls and The Works bun. Both were delicious and quite filling. I'll definitely visit again when craving egg rolls!

    Fried Crab Rangoon
    Sean C.

    We were actually on the way to a different restaurant because my kiddo was interested in getting a vermicelli bowl when my wife saw the sign for Me Con. We decided it was closer and we'd try it out. The service was great. The waiter was very nice and super helpful. I always ask what the specialty is of the house and he responded with "most people enjoy the...." So we ordered a vermicelli bowl, crab Rangoon and a General's Chicken so we could have a little variety sample on the table. The crab Rangoon had a nice crisp and a delicious flavor. The General's chicken was mine. A solid and tasty option. Nothing really special or spicy about it so I added the chili... but it was... fine. The vermicelli bowl was pretty tasty. The chili/fish oil was delicious. The noodles seemed a little thick, but the consistency and flavor was there. To each their own. Nice and clean atmosphere and really pleasant folks working there. I will likely be back. Good basic Pan Asian faire.

    Springrolls

    I was in the mood for some shrimp, spring rolls and behold! These were the best spring rolls I've ever had in Austin, definitely will be coming back! The service was amazing, and the staff was kind :)

    I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. 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 had my boyfriend pick up the food and he forgot to check for the hoisin sauce. I can't eat pho without it, so I called the store and was told it was offered but that he must not have heard the employee asking. I tried to eat the pho anyway, and it ended up being one of the worst bowls of pho I've ever had. I'm Vietnamese, so I know what good pho should taste like. The broth was extremely bland and watered down, with no aroma or real pho flavor. Without hoisin sauce it was even worse. I tried adding seasoning to make it taste decent but nothing helped. The noodles were also hard and clumped together in one big chunk. I had to microwave them for about three minutes just to get them to separate. In the end, I gave up and threw away our 2 -$18 bowl of pho. The broth tasted worse than instant pho. Very disappointing. I should have known better than to order pho downtown.

The color wasn't too light, so I appreciated that they didn't go heavy on the condensed milk. Summer Rolls/Nem Nuong Cuon ($11): These were underwhelming, pretty bland without the peanut sauce, which I thought was just okay as well. OG Banh Mi ($14): Delicious! It was one of our top two banh mi here, along with the lamb one. The bread was nicely toasted, the pâté came through, and all the flavors were on point. Garlic Butter Prawn Bún ($18): The shrimp were perfectly cooked, though the garlic butter flavor wasn't very strong. The vermicelli and veggies were so fresh and tasty together with the nuoc mam that I was able to eat the leftovers without any protein. Curry Ramen ($16): This was our first time trying curry ramen, so we didn't know what to expect. You got to choose your protein, so we went with chashu. The curry had flavors similar to oc len xa dua and was pretty good, and the ramen itself had a great texture. I still prefer regular ramen but would still recommend trying this at least once.

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.
