    Combination fried rice with beef!
    Camille A.

    One of my favorite pho spots in North Austin. Never overcrowded and service is pretty quick!y The pho is delicious and always flavorful. The regular bowl is more than enough for me. On my recent visit, I tried a new dish (honey Siracha chicken) and it didn't come close to their pho. Also, the portion was a little small for the price. The restaurant is always pretty clean. There's no host so seating could be confusing for a new guest (just sit at any open table). They're still at the top of my list for pho!

    Service seems to be hit or miss however the food is what brings me back. Pho is about the broth and they got a good broth. Place is clean and it's nice to just sit and enjoy your food. I'd recommend this spot to anyone.

    BBH Spicy Beef and Pork Noodles Soup
    Pat H.

    My dad & kids love coming here for lunch literally our only and favorite pho spot! I try coming here a least once a week I can never go wrong with their food. And the staff always so attentive and gets my order right

    Vegetable Fried rice. Tasted rotten

    Not only the Food quality is low and taste bad, the service is horrible. I waited for my check for 20min and they still kept ignoring me

    Condiments and napkins in a bag was not a favorite.

    Found a new Vietnamese restaurant nearby that we hadn't seen in all of our travels here and there. The restaurant is in a small strip center and has about 15 tables and a good looking menu! We ordered a spring roll appetizer and made sure they knew I was allergic to shrimp so we got the pork spring rolls. We both liked them except they were somewhat 'loose' so you lost stuff each time you dipped. Not a deal breaker here, because it was so good, but hey, tighten up those rolls guys! Now, I'm always looking for a good bowl of Bun Bo Hue when I try out a new Viet restaurant so was excited when I saw it on the menu (listed as BBH). Unlike other soup offerings it was only offered in one size but the photos they had of it were appealing. Of course, being Anglo, I had to ask if it comes with 'everything' meaning, pork feet, pork blood, etc. Yes, it had 'everything' except for the pork blood, but I ordered it anyway. So my positives are that the soup had a really good taste to it, very solid and the bowl was full of stuff, especially the pork foot and other proteins. The broth wasn't too spicy and wasn't so hot that by the time you can eat your meal your dining partner is finished. But I really have to protest about receiving my condiments in a plastic bag! I'd really much rather them put all of the veggie condiments on a plate like everyone else does. It made it very difficult for me to pick out stuff from the bag (I like more of this but maybe less of that). Still, trying to dig at the bottom of the bag for stuff was messy and not every easy. Plus, I like to grab a hand full of bean sprouts and break them in half when they're on a plate but you really can't do that here. Next time I'll ask for that to come on a plate. The other minor detail is they give you a couple of napkins tucked into that plastic bag with your condiments. Hey, I'm eating soup! Just put a napkin holder on each table please! Still, we really enjoyed or meal, it was very good and we will definitely be back to try other menu items.

    Nomnomnom!! Pho is always fresh and flavorful! I decided to try the firecracker shrimp app-recommended with sweet & sour sauce.

    Delicious Pho

    The service here was amazing! Our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on me and my friends to see if we needed anything. I'm very picky with my Pho broth and this has to be one of the best broths I've tried! The portions are huge for the price I would highly recommend. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because noodles were soggy :(

    We ordered the Rice Plate with Egg Rolls & Grilled Pork (C5), EggRolls (A1), and the Pho Tai (P1). Not sure if we were ravenous or if Pho Phi is just that amazing, but we scarfed down our meal within a matter of minutes. The C5's pork was actually sweeter than salty, which is uncommon for this dish.Though different, it was still great. The broth in the pho was amazing, so homey and flavorful. However, they skimp on the beef! Will definitely return to try other dishes!

    P09. Brisket and Tendon Noodles Soup
    Melodie M.

    Food was just alright.. I ordered a small brisket and tendon pho but they only gave me one piece of tendon??? My husband ordered the large pho dac biet and it was just ok as well... The portions were pretty big but lacked flavor.

    Nothing like Phở on a cold Austin Day! I ordered the bún bó huê' which was pretty good, it wasn't as spicy as it should have been. It is almost authentic Vietnamese cuisine minus the blood pork jello goodness! This place is taking COVID seriously and have utensils individual wrapped which is a great thing. I would consider coming back again to give other dishes a try.

    Solid food Interior is nice, staffed well, lots of seating Viet iced coffee (asked for it with LIGHT ICE-- see pic) 3/5 Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) 4/5 - TOTALLY NOT AUTHENTIC BROTH (was literally pho broth with spice, kid you not) when I came in Jan 2022 buttt tasted normal (with legit broth) when i came in 2021 so imma just say that the chef was confused or ran out of broth and was embarrassed - lemme go back to an earlier point and state that the 2022 broth wasn't bad tho... just wasn't what I was expecting. so like def try it (esp if you like spicy food) and take the gamble on whether you get spicy pho or bbh. - oh ALSO the noodles were legit broken up into little ant sized pieces (in 2022) which was super confusing, considering I'm a grown adult (not a four year old child that needs their food cut up?) - think the chef just needs some sleep tbh, it's been a rough year for all of us /s - generous amounts of meat including tender brisket, ham, pigs feet, etc Good value, nice clean dining area

Hunger definitely gets humbled here. We came around lunchtime and caught what felt like the perfect balance of energy. Busy enough to get a feel for the restaurant without being overwhelmed, but by a little after 12, the crowd started pouring in, and the line nearly stretched out the door. That alone says a lot about how loved this place is on an ordinary day. I also appreciated the atmosphere -- it looked like parts of the space had been renovated (especially the tables), the warm wood tones made everything feel cozy and homey, and I loved the cultural wall and self-service stand. One thing I really enjoyed was seeing such a diverse crowd dining here; people from nearly every background packed the space, which felt like proof that genuinely good food knows no ethnic bounds. We started with the Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, and wow -- these came out hot. Like, proceed-with-caution hot. But the flavor payoff was worth it. The broth inside was amazingly potent and flavorful enough that I genuinely didn't feel the need to dip them in sauce. The filling had this pleasantly crumbly texture in the best possible way, and the pork and crab felt incredibly well blended. An excellent starter choice. The Flavored Black Fungus w. Onions ended up being one of the most refreshing dishes on the table. Flavor-wise, it reminded me of Vietnamese gỏi -- bright, acidic, and refreshing. The red onions had been tempered through pickling, so they brought flavor without overwhelming sharpness, and the vinegar-and-oil dressing tied everything together beautifully. It's a smaller plate, but comfortably shareable between 2-3 people. The Hot Spicy Stew (Malatang) was honestly one of the most sensory dishes I've had in a while. The spice smacks the back of your throat the second you inhale it -- though "spicy" almost feels like the wrong word because it leans more tongue-numbing than heat-heavy. The Sichuan peppercorn usage here is fantastic. Super aromatic, deeply flavorful, and somehow every time my BF lifted the noodles, another wave of spices would hit the air and smack me in the face (in the best way possible). Between the bold colors, aroma, and flavor, this dish felt impactful from every angle. As someone who loves lamb, the Lamb Stewed Noodle Soup was probably my personal winner. It reminded me of a cleaner version of miso soup (which already tastes clean), but with an added lamb richness that made it so satisfying. The broth had this flavorful fattiness from the lamb that made me immediately think, "Yeah... I'm going to need 20k steps after this." Zero regrets. I would order this again in a heartbeat every single visit. The Suan Tsai Spicy Beef Rice Noodle was the accidental order, and unfortunately, my least favorite. My friend actually wanted the spicier beef noodle option above it and ended up nuking this bowl with chili oil, which he swore improved it a lot. For me, the sourness leaned unpleasant rather than balanced, and compared to the Malatang and Lamb Noodle Soup, the broth lacked the same richness and depth. Overall, Julie's Noodles absolutely delivers on comfort, flavor, portions, and value. Come hungry -- and maybe with friends, because these bowls do not play around.

I keep forgetting to ask for swapping the glass noodles with their regular hand pulled noodles, would do that. Friends had other noodle soups and enjoyed them all, as I thought. Julie's is still probably one of the best noodle shops in Austin. Amazing value, amazing service.

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 ordered hot and sour pork soup. I had never had hot and sour soup with meat. Portions were generous, ingredients fresh, and the food arrived smoking hot. The noodles were soft, smooth and flavorful. The pork inside looked like tiny meatballs. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the restaurant was completely full and customers were continuing to flow in. Because the restaurant is rather small, I had to wait about 20 minutes for my order. Jim, one of the owners, said if I had ordered 3 items it would take about 45 minutes, that's why I went with one.

The cumin seeds give it that signature earthy, aromatic flavor and you get a slight tingly numbing spice sensation from the chilis and peppercorn. The lamb is not overly gamey, but it still does taste like lamb so if you are not really a lamb fan, I'd choose something else. - Jumping Fish: A very popular dish! Tender white fish fillets that is so soft it melts in your mouth. It is in a flavorful oil and broth that is refreshing from the fresh jalapenos. It is a savory dish, yet still relatively mild. It commes with napa cabbage as well! This was my favorite dish and I loved the flavor combined with the white rice. - Mapo Tofu (Vegetarian): They have one with pork as well, but I got the vegetarian version. Silky soft tofu cubes in that signature mapo tofu sauce and numbing peppercorns. Despite the appearance of all the dishes, none of them were very spicy. Overall, a comforting soft, spicy, savory dish with a slight tingle. - Eggplant in garlic sauce: A deliciously sweet and umami garlic sauce. The eggplants could have been a bit more cooked through in my opinion though since it was still quite firm. I loved it still! Note that all the dishes to me were not spicy just had an underlying subtle spice or tingle (like a finishing flavor note if you will). Also, since it is sichuan the dishes are on the oilier side. You order with the cashier at the front and pay up front as well. Food comes out quickly. It is a small space with three rows of tables (maybe around 12-15 tables give or take), so it does fill up fast. I went at around 5:40 PM on a Thursday and there was no wait, but by the time we finished eating at around 7PM, the restaurant was full. House of Three Gorges was hyped up a lot on my social media feed and through word of mouth, so I came in with high expectations. Luckily, they did not disappoint.
