We've been going here for the past 8 years- love it! My entire family loves their food, including all 4 kids (it's next to impossible to please everyone usually)! Favorites include the #37, #245, and the shrimp spring rolls... mmmmm read more

Okay, time for a truly honest review. Posted about where I could find some truly great Pho restaurants in Austin on Reddit, and people recommended this place. Seriously, I wanted _good_ pho. I don't want to go to a place where the owners also own Pholicious, as this place is. That place was beyond bland. So, here's the truthiness. I went in and ordered Pho Dac Biet - like I always do in any new Pho restaurant. The tendon was cooked very well, the other meats were done very nicely. But the broth. Seriously. What happened?! Pho broth should be full-bodied, full of flavor, savory, and have those nice fragrant anise notes with hints of ginger and garlic. None of that was present here. And I didn't go here on a Monday. I came here on a Wednesday. The broth was very beef-forward, and had almost no taste of other flavors that I expect. There was no sweetness, no spice flavor that I expect. Overall, I very disappointed. Pho (scale from 1-10): 4 I'll find better. read more

I really like this place when I dine in. Delivery is the complete opposite. I have ordered delivery from them twice. Both times my order customizations have been ignored making the food inedible to me. I'm unsure if this is a restaurant issue or and ordering platform issue. Needless to say, I won't be getting takeout from them again. read more

I'm a sucker for Asian carbs and pho on a cold, rainy day like today is def one of my vices. This place is one of my go-to pho places in town. It's right by 35 so the location is pretty convenient. No frills and generally quick. The meats are slightly tough but the tripe and broth are good. The one strange thing about this place is the portion isn't always consistent. Today's portion was noticeable less than last time I was here. This happened more than once. read more

Pho Hoang - Pho with tripe, steak, and brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hands down the best beef Pho I've ever tasted. Now let me qualify that some... I've had Pho from Orange County, CA, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, and New York, NY. So I have a pretty broad pallet and experience when it comes to Pho. I think the broth just had so much richness and depth, the meat... well the meat in Texas is fantastic and so you marry the two. BAM, you have this place. If you're craving good beef Pho this should be No. 1 on your list. Wow... just wow. This place is going on what my wife and I refer to as, "the rotation". read more

This is not the most romantic restaurant. It looks like you're stepping into your high school dining hall again, but this time people are balding, bearded, dressed for business, and slurping buckets of Pho - instead of, pimply, wearing chains, and busting open Twinkies. So, I would not recommend this place for a date. That being said - definitely visit Pho Hoang for some very tasty Vietnamese food. I fell in love with my fried crunchy noodles and veggies. Like most Vietnamese restaurants, it's cheap! But remember, this place accepts CASH ONLY. read more

Pho Hoang - 252 with crispy noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had to get a new tire for my company truck at Youngblood auto and tire one day and looked around for something to eat and found this restaurant in same shopping center. Their pho is great. I think it's the best pho in the area (cedar park, Georgetown, Hutto, round rock). I always recommend this place to anyone looking for pho restaurants read more

There are Tons of Vietnamese places in Houston and DC but few around the Austin area. This place was definately one of my favorite places to go in the area. I love the pan fried noodles and the coffee.. .Fresh, a good deal, and authentic what more could you want yum! Oh yes and like the other reviews say BRING CASH. They don't accept credit cards and you don't want to end up using the sketchy looking atm that charges like 4.00 they have in the corner. read more

Great for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and at times it reminded me of places I visited in Vietnam for a quick lunch pho - what a surprise in Austin! Don't let the deluge of combinations and permutations on the menu intimidate you. It's essentially a choice of which meat you want, which type of noodle, and what type of sauce/broth. Service is quick and the place never seems too crowded and everything I've tried on the menu is pretty tasty. Very authentic food (4 stars) with a simple atmosphere (3 stars). read more

Thus far, this is my favorite Pho place in Austin. I have heard of a few others I need to try, so I will leave 4 stars. Pho Hoang is nothing to write about from a decor standpoint. Long tables with CNN playing on a single big screen. What it lacks in decor it makes up in inexpensive fare and fast service. We can get in and out, with a fully belly, in less than 1/2 hour and probably close to 20 minutes if we have to push it. The food is consistent, and good, and you can get out for a bit more than $6 if you simply eat Pho with water. Add on a couple of eggrolls to dip (yum) and it still runs around $9. read more

This place has the tastiest pho I've ever had here in Austin. The beef for the pho tai (pre-cooked) was a gorgeous red, and stayed that way until I actually dropped it in the broth. This was a delivery order, and oftentimes the heat from the other food items cooks the meat slightly while it's still in the bag: making the meat turn a greyish hue, and slightly chewy. Even after an hour or so (when I finally reheated the broth and put the soup together) the beef from Pho Hoang maintained that wonderful color. This is quality beef, very flavorful and tender. But the noodles were what really blew me away: so, so tender. Every other pho place I've eaten from in Austin has the chewy, ball-of-rubber-bands look and feel: not these. I couldn't believe how much more pleasant these were to eat. My husband put his soup together, but fell asleep before he ate it. I snuck a few bites of it the next morning, and the noodles were still tender, but not soggy. We had the fried dumplings as an appetizer, they were crisp, flavorful and not soggy, either. My husband and I eat low carb, but we are absolutely having another "cheat" meal tomorrow night, so that we can have this again. Truly impressive. read more

The service was great and the food was amazing. We love this place. I had the vermicelli which was awesome, and my wife loved the pho with meatballs and the spring rolls. read more

Nice casual pho place. Broth was a little better than average and nice inclusions. They had no problem doing a half and half meatball and eye round pho. Seemed nice and busy during lunch with a mixed crowd. Will come back again. read more

Pho Hoang - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hung over? Not feeling well? Definitely come here for the Pho! Yum yum yum. Always good here. The only thing I don't like is when I am not ready to order and they stand there looking at you... wanting to scream at you to hurry up and decide. I am slow and an indecisive person at many times. I could never decide between the pho and the crushed rice dish. Both are my favorite. I just know I will be full eating the pho tai. The crushed rice with grilled pork still makes me hungry after finishing the whole plate. =/ The eggrolls are good too. Don't forget, CASH ONLY. Make sure you have enough or else there is an ATM inside.. Booo to ATM fees. That's an order of appetizer if you can avoid the fee. read more

I have been eating here since the very beginning when they first opened. My family and I used to eat here nearly once a week. They got so familiar with me that the wait staff knew exactly what I wanted to order the second I walked in. The food here is fantastic. The pho soup is better than most places I've tried in Austin. Other favorites include the egg roll and iced coffee which is quite strong. Coffee is freshly brewed unlike some places. I have tried a lot of dishes here, and probably the only I didn't care for was the stir fried noodle. It wasn't bad, just wasn't great. Stick with the Vietnamese dishes, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Considering the climate was icy, cold, and gloomy, this establishment is one of the better Pho restaurants I've been to through Texas (as I am fro Houston); so the ambient outside plus the warmth of a well done beef skirt Pho was absolutely perfect. I recommend Pho Hoang to anyone, no matter who you are. Their craft and hospitality gives this small family business a 5 star rating. read more

Fish balls went from 1.50 to 3.50. This place is decent but the price gauging is criminal.

Pho was great... the Che was perfect in that it's not too sweet and just the right amount of sugar. Friendly and efficient service.

very authentic and big portions! i went here with my friends family who are vietnamese and i believed they liked it as well. i got the flat noodles with beef and it was very flavorful read more

The worst pho in Austin so far. Even the easiest person in my family didn't like it. Definitely not recommend this

Not sure what has happened, but the service was poor, the food was not its usual quality, flies circling at several tables, and the tables and condiments on the tables were tacky (like stuck on grease). The young man in glasses that appeared to be running the show could have not cared less about being there and making folks feel welcome or finding out if we enjoyed our food. We have been going for years and this is the first time that it has been sub-par. There is usually a very cheerful woman there, taking orders, greeting folks, and checking back on everyone. She was not there and it definitely shows through the lack of service and friendliness of the gentlemen working yesterday (May 22nd) evening. Hopefully it improves or we will need to find alternative options. read more

This is our favorite pho spot. Broth is better and more flavorful than where we were previously going. The staff is very nice and helpful, too. It really pains me to hear/see people complain about the menu. All you have to do is ask, people! And be polite! I've seen their servers and cashier treated very poorly, and it really pisses me off. If you're unhappy with something, maybe say something BEFORE you've eaten everything on your plate, ya know... just saying. This place has THE BEST egg rolls, and have had those same wonderful egg rolls for YEARS! They give more than enough greens for your pho, too! If pho isn't your thing, they have other delicious entrees as well! Super tasty!!! Great service!!! read more

Great Pho! I had the large seafood Pho and man was it large ...... Place is very affordable I will definitely come back. read more

easily the best place in austin for a hot bowl of pho. that's right i said it. the broth is super flavorful and you can actually taste the meat in the broth, without being drowned by salt and oil like most pho places. the noodles are always the perfect chewy texture and compliment the brisket i usually get SO well. i also LOVE the bo luc lac and the grilled pork plates....... whatever meat you order is always cooked so well and so rich in flavor!!! bottom line, if you want authentic, comforting, homey vietnamese food, no other place tops this one!!!! read more

Pho Hoang - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had a very nice experience here over a month back. I ordered the avocado shake and one of the pho dishes. It was absolutely delicious and the broth of the pho was fragrant. This is definitely a spot worth mentioning as it is authentic. Atmosphere: 4/5 If you see other Vietnamese people in a Vietnamese restaurant, you know the spot is legit. The outside of the vicinity looks very small but once inside, it is very spacious. Bathrooms are towards the back. Decor is very minimal but modern and simple. Nothing out of the ordinary. Food: 5/5 Authentic experience with the taste being what Viet food should taste like. Great selections and a simple menu to work off of in terms of ordering. Service: 5/5 The waitress was attentive and it was a nice thing. She was not overtly needy at all with hovering over us -- good balance of service and coming in clutch when needed/wanted but not disrespectful and intrusive. I like this. Value: 4/5 Overall, very good prices. Compared to a lot of places I've been too, these guys are a bit more on the pricier side. However, being in a place like the Greater Austin area, what can you expect? Still -- the prices can be better based on profit margin. Overall experience: 4.5/5 Worth the trip. I had a blast here and I enjoyed the experience overall. Great service, good food, and nice value, it was worth it. read more

There's not many pho places that I have truly enjoyed in the past but this... oh man! One of the BEST pho I've EVER had! I enjoyed the chicken pho. And pricing for portion is great as well. Even if you get a small bowl, it's sure to fill you up. read more

Pho Hoang - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Beware of additional price charge at the cashier. I will NEVER come back here again. They use frozen seafood to make thier seafood fried rice and soup. The price on the menu also different from what I was charged. Quality food is not at all worth it. read more

Probably my favorite place to get pho up north, the broth is usually very flavorful. It's not like that clear broth you get at some of the more "Americanized" Vietnamese places. I mainly come here specifically for the pho along with either an iced coffee or tea. The other dishes are not bad. Ive had their fried rice, crushed rice with charbroiled pork, spring rolls, and vermicelli bowls. They're all not bad, but once again, I usually come specifically for the pho! read more

I ordered chicken pho and it was great! So were the spring rolls. Place reeked of cigarette smoke, so only 4 stars, otherwise a great meal!

The Pho here is by far the best available in Austin - but specifically at this location. The location on Rutland uses a different recipe, so be sure to go to this one if you're craving a yummy bowl of Pho Tai. I've been going here for about 5 years now, and the pricing has been the same the whole time up until about a month ago. They re-did their menu's and added about a dollar to each of the menu items. You're looking at about $6.50 for a large with the regular round beef. The waitstaff is very quick at serving - you'll normally get your food within 2-3 minute of ordering, even at lunchtime. It's amazing. It is cash/check only, so be sure to bring some or you'll need to pay $2.50 to their ATM + whatever your bank charges to withdraw some cash. read more

good noodles (#37 every time), but more than anything, a chance to experience a restaurant completely off the grid. And I don't mean the power grid. This place is completely a cash business. If you watch "Kitchen Nightmares", imagine what the arrogant host would say about this place - great food, simple menu, fastest service EVER and absolutely no mechanism to tell whether the place makes any money. at all. ever. read more

The #11 was delicious! Fresh veggies and plenty of flavor in the broth. -2 stars for a restaurant full of dirty dishes on the tables and the whole staff eating and watching football. Seriously, dirty dishes on 70% of the tables. The place looked like my bedroom during finals week. read more

This is one of my favorite places to frequent because it is close, cheap, and, most importantly, has several great tasting menu items. My favorite dish has to be the pork chops served over rice. It also comes with a fried egg. These thin chops are great because of their charcoal flavor and, once you add a little egg yolk, will reward you with one of the most enjoyable pork chops imaginable. The sliced roasted pork dish is also worth trying. The meat is thin and has more than a hint of sweetness. You can get it as a rice bowl or a vermicelli bowl. They have many rice and vermicelli bowl selections. The rice bowls usually come with a fried egg, while the vermicelli bowls usually come with an egg roll. The egg rolls here are also top notch. Most of the patrons seem to order pho. Sometimes I get pho as a change of pace. The ones that I have had are good, but I keep going back to those pork chops. Cash only. read more

Yelper and friend Erik W. suggested we meet here for mid-week lunch. I fancy myself something of a Pho connoisseur, so I was eager to try their variation on Pho. Service was prompt, and the broth had a lovely dark, earthy color. Great flavor, though the noodles were a little al dente, which freaked me out slightly. While the food was good, I was mainly disappointed in the portions. I ordered the small bowl, which appeared decent at first glance, but was deceptively shallow, like Lady Gaga, or most presidential candidates. Like Jerry Sandusky in a locker room, it was only a few minutes before I was touching the bottom, and truth be told, I felt a little cheated. If you're going to force me to pay cash, at least give me my moneys worth! Ambiance was meh, and I would've been okay with that, had I not been to Pho Danh. Seriously, that restaurant is light, airy, and ridiculously clean. A good pho spot, if you live close, but if you have to make the drive, there are plenty of other places worth your gas money. read more

I've been eating here for three years. Every single time its amazing. Get the chicken pho, the egg rolls and the spring rolls. Its basically the perfect thing to eat on a rainy/cold day. Bring cash or pay $3 at the ATM. read more

Pho is my favorite food. It's also one of the foods I least trust in Austin, TX. Well, the weather is cold and I needed something to warm me up. What was my thought? Pho!! But I'm in Austin...uh oh.... My friend took me to this place and I didn't have high hopes. More of a "here we go again" feeling. But i was pleasantly surprised. The pho is decent! I got the Pho Tai Chin and an order of egg rolls. The eggrolls were suprisingly scrumptuous, too. Crisp, hot, and good to go. We had to go again this morning because it was freezing outside and we needed a lil warm me up. Now once again, Im saying this pho is decent. So if this restaurant were in Dallas, I would give it 3 stars, but because I expect so little from Austin Pho, I will give this 4 stars and proclaim it the Best Pho I have had in Austin. read more

The weather had gotten colder and I had been craving some pho! On a whim my parents invited me to meet them there for dinner. Yes! I was so excited. I've been here a few times with my family in the past and it has always been a go to for us. This wasn't any different from the past visits. We were greeted quickly when we walked in and seated at a 4 top at the side of the restaurant. I always found the seating in the place amusing. It seems like a large cafeteria or family style place. There's lots of long tables lined up in the majority of the dining area. We all ordered pho and my dad ordered 2 orders of Crispy Spring Rolls. I got my pho with rare flank and brisket. Broth is always flavorful not to oily and the meat is tender. There was plenty of crispy, fresh veggies to add to your bowl. Food is tasty and consistent. Service was quick and friendly. Always a satisfying visit when I go. I'm glad there's a good pho place in Round Rock I can count on. read more

It's 2009, you run a strip-mall restaurant in the most congested area home to the largest employer for miles, surrounded by every corporate business of any kind, and you don't accept credit cards. Really?!!! (Sigh) But you do serve great food at reasonable prices and have won me over with fresh ingredients and some solid spring rolls. The service is fantastic (very fast) and the place is pretty darn clean (didn't visit restroom). Oh, there's an ATM. I hate ATMs. read more

Pho Hoang is pretty much the only restaurant in Austin where I order a meat dish--the #37 of chicken and egg roll vermicelli bowl. Its extensive menu is not very vegetarian-friendly. The food comes out in 1-2 minutes whenever I go in the late evening. The menu items are cheap for Austin--the #37 is the amount of two to three meals and costs $5.95 pre-tax. Bring cash. Your meal includes small cups of fish sauce and hot sauce. The #37 had a nice mixture of raw vegetables whose flavors complemented each other and the chicken well. The small cut-up egg roll was a little greasy but most egg rolls are greasy. The employees seem nice and approachable. I've only had takeout here. The food tastes the same and is just as fast to come out as the Rutland @ Burnet location. There are long tables inside and makes it feel like a cafeteria. The front parking lot of the small strip mall is limited but you can park in the side and back. The strip mall is located along the south side of SH45 approaching the I35 @ SH45 intersection. read more

The pho broth is good ( and at last check MSG free, which is a rarity.) The prices on the website were different then my to go price by a few dollars. Also, when I got home, they had gotten my order wrong. Instead of well done meat, I had rare meat- which when you are wanting one, and get the other, is not the best. That being said, it was very delicious. They have added a credit card option, which is good news. Mixed experience. read more
