    23. Bun Bo Hue

    They were out of cha luo for the Bun Bo Hue but overall pretty good and not too spicy. Definitely a great choice post drinking the night before. Vietnamese coffee is strong and somehow the styrofoam cup keeps ice cold for a ridiculously long time. Plenty of seating at 11 am on Sunday. They also are in a strip with a decent amount of parking. Fast service.

    This place us ridiculous. I am being blocked in by a delivery truck.. saying it will take 20 to 30 minutes before he gets done unloading. There are no signs saying where I parked is for restaurant only. There are many businesses here. I asked nicely, as he pulled up to see if he could let me out. He said this parking is for the restaurant only and I am making his delivery hard. He would not move for me to back out. Again. There are no signs stating this anywhere.

    Broth was watered down, and protein portions was disappointing. There was whiffs of star anise, and msg, and not much else.

    Best rice plate I've ever had! I've been eating it for over 10 years and the quality has remained the same. The meat is tender and flavorful, the rice is broken like how it's traditionally done (quite rare to find), and it even comes with a flavorful soup on the side. Beware that they may give less meat when you order takeout. I would definitely recommend the rice plates over the pho, unless you're really craving it. I think there's better pho spots in town nowadays, but this rice plate is the real deal. I seriously haven't found anything better, even after living in SF for a few years. The service is just alright, but I personally don't care too much about that. It's one of the staples in my family's rotation for good reason!

    My fave

    Craving comfort food? Pho Dan hits the spot with its authentic Vietnamese flavors, cozy vibes, and menu full of classics like pho, spring rolls, and banh mi. Vegan-friendly and perfect for group hangs or solo slurps. My fave? The pork chop with fried egg -- chef's kiss! A must-visit in Austin!

    Very clean - up scale Pho. Menu is diverse and special requests are met well. For example fried egg on top. Prices are moderate and the food good. Parking is good but can get tight at times.

    Very blah The good - friendly staff, big clean and efficient environs, and easy parking The bad - the food is very blah. It isn't bad mind you, just no there there, kothing that makes you want to go back Which is sad, cos this used to be some of the best pho in town...

    I love coming to Pho Dan whenever I'm trying to eat with a bigger group because the seating is just so accommodating which is already a big plus. Another plus being the dishes are all both decently sized and priced. And I just love how there are so many different pho options so it's easy to find the perfect combination of meats for each person. The pho is always good, with flavorful broth and a good amount of meat. But I really want to highlight the pork vermicelli bowls! The meat has a really nice smoky lemongrass flavor, the egg roll is so fat and crispy, and the dish as a whole is pretty filling.

    We haven't been here in a while. The food is still delicious. I had the #2 pho and spring rolls. Both are still really tasty. The service is lacking from what I remember. We had to ask for water twice. The server had that deer in the headlights look when asking for water. The ambiance is lacking too.

    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 have been here for both lunch and dinner and it is pretty busy during both times, so clearly it is popular. I tried the Pho Please pho and the mi kho dry egg noodles. 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. Definitely something to keep in mind if you prefer lighter drinks. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty fast, which is nice when it is busy.

But it also has egg and scallions and pate; overall the combo is satisfying. Separate from takeout, we decided to go for an early dinner. Their Crab Vermicelli Stir Fry is surprisingly sweet, with sweetness as a prominent flavor. It features plenty of crab bits. I also grabbed a Skillet Combo. It came with two runny side up eggs, pate, two types of cured pork, beef gravy, and a handful of cilantro. The baguette came on the side, as did the mixed salad of lettuce and tomato. The salad had some dried shrimp, fish sauce, and a slightly sweet dressing. The restaurant itself is located in the Chinatown Center on N Lamar. It's a small corner shop. Lots of mirrors and glass. The staff are friendly enough. Unfortunately, they've closed, and it looks like another restaurant will be opening up in its place.
