    Since I'm always on the go during the week days, I had to force myself to eat something really quick and I wanted to stay away from fast food. I'm glad I came here. Sat down right away for a party of 1. They came and took my order within 4 min, ate, and left all under 1 hr. I think it was closer to 45 min and I'm a SUPER slow eater. The broth here was really good! I wasn't expecting it because I was so worried about time. The second that broth hit my lips, I knew I made the right choice for lunch. I've never been to this location before but I'm definitely coming here again. If you need a quick bite to eat, nothing is quicker than pho. That's pho sure.

    Lots of fresh veggies - cilantro, basil, limes, bean sprouts, jalapeños
    Paula Adora V.

    My husband and I were visiting from California and we were looking for a pho spot to try out. Pho Binh 59 South did not disappoint! We both went for the #1 Pho dac biet (1 regular and 1 large). Not only was the broth very comforting and a nice blend of savory and a little sweet with nice aromatics but we were both impressed that they served the pho with cilantro in addition to basil (this isn't common in pho places in SF, SJ or Oakland or even OC) and the server asked us if we wanted our bean sprouts fresh or blanched. They served a ton of jalapeños as well which we love. Maybe they just give more veggies in Texas! The meat was plentiful and my favorite were the slices of brisket. For drinks I got tea and I was impressed they had several options for tea - black, green, or ginger. I got the ginger tea. We both finished our pho and I was super happy with this choice. It's a lot better than options in SF or Oakland and I was happy to give it a try. There's plenty of open tables inside and remember to pay up at the cashier after your done eating. Service was very friendly as well. The inside was clean and bright.

    Beef Bahn Mi , Egg roll

    Ordered take out, fast and easy pick up! Not going to lie, i will not return here for a bahn mi, or egg rolls. Bahn mi bread was so hard and stale i could barley bite into it. Egg rolls small and taste like they were in the refrigerator and refried... Maybe they have better things in their menu.

    My wife loved her Angel Island combo smoothy, peach, mango and strawberry. I really enjoyed my iced Viet coffee with condensed milk. Wifey had the regular sized chicken noodle soup....I helped and we still couldn't finish all of it, very good. I usually try the grilled pork banh mi with a fried egg on my first visit to a "new for us" place......very tasty. We also shared some fried chicken dumplings...some of the best we've ever had.....we'll be back for more goodies. They have a bunch of locations so you should be able to find one near you.

    The best chicken pho I've tasted in my Life. And I've had many. I always get the medium mixed white and dark meat chicken Pho with extra dark meat on the side. Yummmmm & their smoothies are so tasty and can be customized even made with Splenda. Great place for pho and vermicelli. I ate the pork spring roll tht came with it on the pic I attached. Delicious

    Banh mi with an extra egg
    Rex W.

    PURCHASED · Banh Mi Dac Biet (i.e., the most common banh mi, which includes most ingredients--It translates to "special" banh mi." COSTS · ~$5 (I could be wrong) POSITIVE · Nothing beats some authentic banh mi in Houston, Texas. (I live in NYC so it's difficult to find good Vietnamese food.) · There's a hot lady working the cash register. I exchanged a bit with her while checking out. NEGATIVE · Nothing. IMPRESSION · Great spot I miss Houston Vietnamese food :(

    Honeydew smoothie with cantaloupe added. It was heavenly
    Holly H.

    This place has it all. Good pho and Vietnamese plates as well as just about every type of fruit smoothie you could imagine. I had the chicken pho and my sister had the tofu rice plate. We also got a honeydew and cantaloupe smoothie which was heavenly and the tropical fruit smoothie which was good as well. I enjoyed everything we ordered here and will be back again!

    Pho ga
    Andria W.

    Ive been here a couple of times and have had great food and service. Today I dined in but wound up being in quite a hurry. The young woman who helped me took my order quickly and provided me with exactly what I needed. My food was delivered quickly to my table and at the correct temperatures. My spring rolls were not served with peanut sauce as I had ordered and I always appreciate that. They were crisp, fresh, and cold plus nicely and tightly wrapped... exactly how I love them. My pho ga was served piping hot and without white onion as I asked also. I wound up taking most of my soup to go and containers were brought out to me as well as a to go iced tea refill. A woman who I assumed to be one of the owners let me know the kitchen was closing and out of chicken broth when I asked about ordering extra to take home but she offered me the beef broth in which I accepted. She came out and nicely packaged everything up for me and reminded me not to forget my tea. So sweet. Will always be back when I'm in this part of town. Thank you!

    Came in to eat on a Saturday night around 8PM. They take walk ins, but we made reservations and I…read moream so glad we did. Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea.

We got there 15 minutes before to make sure we could find parking. They have a small lot but all the spaces were taken despite being before 6 pm on a weekday. And a few spots had noticeable broken glass so be careful. We fortunately found street parking close by; double checked the signs because I ain't getting towed for nothing. Then I double checked inside with staff to make sure where I parked was ok. On to the food: we got several happy hour appetizer items: soy garlic wings, Brussels sprouts, bao bun, roasted oysters. All was good but not amazing. I then ordered the pho tai chinh for myself - I was quite impressed with the portions and the price! Wifey got the lemongrass pork banh mi - good but not amazing. Overall I would say the food taste and portions were good, but note this is elevated Asian cuisine, so it'll run you $20-$30 minimum. Now the service - definitely super friendly staff. It was our first time there so maybe they brought out the extra friendliness. Even the chef came out and greeted us to make sure we liked the food. Waitress was very kind and checked on our table a LOT. Almost too much. Overall a good experience, yummy food, not a fan of the parking (a common problem in the Heights), and expensive for Asian food but that's expected. Enjoy!

    Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.
