My fiancé and I tried Pho Please for the first time and really enjoyed it. Pho is one of my favorite dishes, so I was excited to try out a new place. The space has a modern, clean vibe, and I loved the little touch of customer doodles on the wall and by the register. Parking was easy with a big lot, and the wait time was short. Service was great. My fiancé had a lot of questions about the menu, and the staff was super patient and helpful. I got the vegan pho with tofu and veggies and it was delicious. Really comforting and flavorful. The portion was great with a good balance of noodles to veggies/tofu. My fiancé got the chicken pho and thought it was delicious too. He actually had to take his home, while I somehow managed to finish mine. I'd love to see a few more vegan options added, but we'll definitely be back. read more

We came here for lunch since we were craving Vietnamese food. You can order at the front & sit down wherever you want. Our food came out fairly quickly, and the staff were friendly. I really liked that they had a self service toppings bar, so you can grab extra cilantro, sriracha, or sauce. The pho was decent, but the beef vermicelli was a bit dry & way too sweet. I would come again if I wanted pho, not sure I would recommend vermicelli or the other dishes though. read more

Stopped by here after landing in Austin, TX - the staff is super nice and helpful with the large party I arrived with, and the restaurant is clean and spacious! The pho is just okay, unfortunately. I ordered the beef pho with brisket and meatballs. I liked that there's the option to choose between lean or fatty brisket - I chose lean and it was lean and thin as promised. The meatball portion was pretty stingy, I only had two quarter pieces in the whole bowl :( The pho noodles were also on the undercooked side. Other than that, the veggie/herb portions were very generous and the broth was tasty and light. Wish that everything else was better though. read more

Fantastic bahn mi sandwiches! Had the pork previously and the shrimp tonight and it is absolutely the best I have had in Austin. Large and a fantastic deal for only $11! Might be the best deal for a sandwich in Austin. Also had the spicy lemongrass bun bo hue and it's delicious and huge! Must be shared. It's way too much meat for me. Another great value deal for only $16! read more

We all ordered different dishes, and everything was fantastic. The pho each of us had was absolutely amazing--rich, flavorful broth and generous portions. I really loved the topping bar where you can grab sauces, limes, and anything else you need to customize your soup exactly how you like it. The portions were huge; we all ate a ton and still had enough leftovers for several more meals. I love this place so much--it's honestly some of the best pho I've ever had. I'd even rank it higher than 888 Pan Asian. Highly recommend! read more

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

Pho Please has a very modern, minimalist vibe and feels super clean inside. It definitely does not feel like a traditional pho or Vietnamese restaurant at all, which might be a plus or minus depending on what you are looking for. 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. read more

This is my go-to spot in the East Riverside area whenever I'm craving pho because it's consistently good and I've never had a bad experience. I love the casual ambiance where you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. There's a condiment bar with unlimited toppings like lime wedges, green onion, red onion, cilantro, etc. so you can grab additional ingredients to your heart's content! I also like that most of their entrees come in one-size because I can sometimes take forever deciding between multiple sizes haha. As a call-out, their combination pho (called the Pho Please) does not come with meatballs so please keep that in mind since some pho restaurants do include meatballs with the combination option. read more

I went here with a friend on a chilly day, and it was the perfect time for pho. The food was excellent and the experience overall was really enjoyable. You order at the counter and then take a seat while they bring the food out. The staff was very friendly and the customer service was great. The pho itself was really good, and as a vegetarian, I especially appreciated the options. It's not always easy to find good vegetarian pho, so I loved that they offered a full salad bar where I could add lots of fresh veggies to my bowl. That's something you don't see at many places. We also ordered the tofu rice paper rolls, which were delicious, and the peanut sauce was especially good. This is a super casual spot not fancy, but the food is solid and comforting. Parking was easy, which is always a plus. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it, especially on a cold day. read more

Pho Please - Vegan pho and tofu rice paper rolls! - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great spot for a good ole hearty bowl of noodle soup on a cooler fall/winter days. Pho is solid here and they have tripes and tendon which could be hard to find if you end up at a more Americanized VIet restaurant. While their vermicelli is decent, I would not go here if you're looking for authentic vermicelli. The veggies they use is spring mix. While spring mix is a much healthier ( in term of nutrition) it is not what we use for vermicelli. There should be typical lettuce and different types of herbs like mints, etc.. used in this dish. We ordered the combo which comes with 2 proteins and an egg. We chose shrimps and short ribs. Ribs were lean so it was a bit dry and somewhat tough. Shrimp was perfectly charred! I also appreciate their condiments bar. I love lots of lime I my food and even my water so it is extremely nice to be able to self-serve for the extra lime and herb veggies toppings. We also tried their boba tea and it was decent. Green light from me, should you need help making decision to get one or not! :-) read more

OH, you're SO good to us. -The Pho is so GENEROUS and SO flavorful. Such a good broth, heaping amounts of vegetables and chocked full of fried tofu (veggie pho) -The condiment bar is too kind, full of more fresh toppings for your pho -The matcha Thai iced tea is strong with matcha, sweet, creamy, floral and refreshing -and they have HUGE soft nugget ice pellets that will rock your world. Or at least make your drinks rock. Best ice in Austin, TX I don't know. Other Vietnamese places need to take notes! This one is coming for all the bellies and all the hearts... Even the parking is generous. ILYSM! ***kiss** read more

4.5 Stars - A casual Vietnamese spot serving pho, baos, spring rolls, banh mih, rice plates, and vermicelli bowls. There are lots of options to choose from for your Vietnamese food cravings. The prices are great and the portions are HUMONGOUS. They do NOT skimp on the protein. The meat quality is not high but it's on par with what's expected at this price. We got the chicken spring rolls ($7), beef pho ($15), and chicken rice plate ($14). Everything was yummy - nothing mind-blowing, but good. I would like to try something other than the pho next time ($15 for pho with 2 meats). Order at the counter, take a number, and they will bring the food to you. Tables and place are clean. They staff are very friendly too. read more

Had a hankering for pho with the recent cold front so I decided to try pho please, which was the closest spot that had good reviews. It did not disappoint, as it satisfied my craving and also showed me one of the more reasonable and delicious Bahn mi's I've had in the city. It is a order at the counter and sit down after establishment, and the interior isn't very big and can be busy, but the girl taking my order was pretty helpful with the questions I had, though she was vegan so it wasn't an exact match lol. She put me onto the Thai boba tea however and it was great. Definitely will come back when I'm needing my pho fix again. read more

I got the grilled pork banh mi and was questioning why it was $11 (higher than I'm used to) but when I saw the size it was completely justifiable. It's the largest banh mi I've seen in Austin so far. The bread is the chewy kind, which I really enjoyed. There are some tables on the side and some longer tables - good for larger parties. It was nice that cilantro, etc. was all self serve. The parking is not my favorite - plenty of spots were available but it was mostly compact car parking for some reason. read more

This place is always reliably good! I got the pho please and the bowl was big enough for two people to share for lunch. The portion is generous and the soup is delicious. The tables are more of a self serve format, where you order at the front and then get seated. read more

A few years in, and sadly, Pho Please is losing its authenticity with each passing visit. After flying back into town, I was in dire need of Vietnamese food pronto. I came in 15 minutes before closing time and though I was happy to take my order to-go, the cashier kindly stated we were more than welcome to dine in. I ordered the Pho with Mignon Steak and a side of Eggrolls. When the Eggrolls arrived, they came with a sweet and sour sauce, which is a big no-no for a Vietnamese. We need our nuoc mam!! Once I requested it, I was ready to dive in... until I saw how clear the fish sauce looked. I reassured myself to keep an open mind! Unfortunately, no amount of positive reinforcement saved the eggrolls. They were bland... even with the fish sauce!! I could only eat one, which says a lot considering my partner and I usually fight over eggrolls. The pho itself wasn't bad, but at $15 a bowl... either I'm getting more frugal with age or the pricing on Pho is getting more expensive. read more

Was craving for a quick Viet food fix and it was pretty solid! Pho broth was strong and flavorful, just a bit sweet but it balanced out! The filet steak was soooo good, I highly recommend it to pair with the beef broth. The brisket was a bit dry tho :( I also liked the condiment/veggie station, which included the Togo boxes, utensils etc. The green milk tea was also yummy. Customer service was also awesome and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to stop here for lunch since I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised. It's a pretty chill, no frills type of restaurant. You order first at the counter and they choose a table for you to sit down. I ordered their pork vermicelli bowl. The pork was very tasty. I liked the veggies and egg which paired very well. I'm taking a star away because some of my noodles were clumpy and broken. My husband ordered their pork banh mi. I did take a bite out of his sandwich to try it out and actually enjoyed it very much. Will come back again for their banh mi. Service is quick. read more

After touring UT Austin, my mom and I were starving and decided to come here. We were immediately drawn in by the pictures of the self-serve toppings bar filled with unlimited green onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. We placed our orders at the counter, and the food came to our table almost instantly while still piping hot. The staff were super nice, and the restaurant had a steady crowd, lots of natural light, and a really pleasant atmosphere. To start, my mom and I shared the Eggrolls and Crab Rangoons. The eggrolls were fine but nothing too memorable, and they were a little burnt on the outside, although that did make them extra crispy. The crab rangoons were also pretty standard and could've used more imitation crab, but they're my guilty pleasure, so I still enjoyed them. For my main dish, I ordered the Spicy Lemongrass Bun Bo Hue, which is one of my favorite Vietnamese noodle soups. While it wasn't spicy, it had a strong, fragrant lemongrass flavor that I really enjoyed. The thick noodles, rare steak, flank steak, bacon, meatballs, and Vietnamese ham were all cooked perfectly. I especially appreciated how generous and varied the toppings were. The portion was huge, and I could only finish about half the bowl. My mom went with the Grilled Pork Chops with Rice, and she loved it. The pork chops were so tender and packed with flavor that they practically melted in your mouth. Honestly, they were some of the best pork chops I've ever had, so I'm really glad the lady at the counter recommended them. To wash it all down, we ordered a Matcha Green Thai Tea and a regular Thai Tea, both of which were refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, this place delivered great food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Grabbed Pho for lunch for my husband and I and we were amazed at how much meat they put in the bowl - very very generous! The broth was also dynamite (ended up drinking it at the end because it was so good!) Their Bahn Mi's and Bao Buns look great too - we'll certainly be back! read more

Food: 4/5: I've been to Pho Please twice now, and every time I leave satisfied with the Pho. This time I ordered the kids Pho because the regular sized pho is a bit too much food for me. I also ordered the spring rolls, but wasn't impressed with those. The filling was pretty dried out. Service: 5/5: there are no waiters, since you order your food at the front. But the cashier and the rest of the staff were friendly. Ambiance: 4/5: nothing bad to note here. It's just your average pho restaurant. read more

I've been to this spot quite a few times now, and it's safe to say I'm a fan! I've tried almost all the Banh Mi sandwiches on their menu, and they never disappoint. The grilled pork is my go-to--it's packed with flavor and always satisfying. I've also had both their Banh Mi and Pho as takeout and dine-in, and both experiences have been great. The Pho travels really well, with the broth packaged separately to keep everything fresh and flavorful. One of my favorite things about eating here is their salad bar. It's such a thoughtful addition, and being able to load up on fresh veggies for my Pho makes the whole meal feel even more special. The spacious seating is another big plus--it's easy to relax and enjoy your food without feeling cramped. Before coming here, I'd read a lot of other reviews, and something that stuck with me was how many people talked about Pho like it could save their life. Honestly, after trying their rich, aromatic broth, I get it. There's just something so comforting about a good bowl of Pho, and they definitely deliver on that front. This place has become one of my favorite spots for a casual meal or takeout. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! read more

I am a world traveling pho loving Vietnamese food maniac (insert hyphens there) and I need to say the pho here is consistently DELICIOUS and so easy. I love a fast-casual spot that delivers on what they strive to do essentially and do it well. I've only ever gotten the pho here but the bun noodle plate looks enormous and tasty too. I get the filet and the brisket and then I get to double up on my own serving of onions and cilantro at their garnish bar. Well priced, super quick, no drama. LOVE IT. Best pho in Austin as of May 2025 - put me down on record for saying that and prove me wrong. read more

Oh my, this place is good. I did takeout for two people this week, and as we all know, takeout is rarely 100%. Pho Please was close... I'll definitely go again and it'll probably be a five-star experience. Just sayin'. For my colleague, who was feeling under the weather and needed to be in tip-top shape for an evening event we were hosting... he ordered the rare filet steak pho with extra noodles and extra protein. I ordered the chicken pho (which is a chicken broth base, FYI). The chicken pho was good, though I should have asked if they offer dark meat; the menu only features chicken breast. To-go came with a generous side of basil, ~3 jalapeno slices, 1 lime, 1 hoisin sauce packet, and 1 Sriracha. I should have remembered to ask for red chili oil, as I think that really makes the pho! Overall, they have hefty portions. My biggest rec is to DINE IN for the full experience. They have so many options on the menu beyond pho, like bahn mi, spring rolls, egg rolls, vermicelli bowls, some rice dishes, and bubble tea. read more

Came in after a night drinking so hoping pho would save my soul. Very modern pho place with a small variety of vietnamese dishes. You order up front and then are assigned a table for them to serve you. they also have a small garnish bar with the typical pho garnishes but brings some to you as well. Pho please (đặc biệt) - all the meat. soup is the most important part of pho for me. it was a little bland for my taste. still enjoyed it. portion size was good. good amount of meat and noodles. 5.2/10 i also took a bite of my cousins bun bo hue...that was very disappointing to me. they thought it was alright but to me it was way too bland for me. i expect BBH to have powerful umami flavor and it tasted too water like to me sadly... overall the pho is good enough for the area so I can see why it was busy. after a night out drinking it served its purpose. read more

I'm so happy I stumbled across this place... I could cry! I'm originally from Orange County and have been missing a good ol' authentic bowl of pho that wasn't all the way up in north Austin. Boyfriend and I came across this spot after a fun packed weekend at ACL and the food and service did not disappoint! You order at the counter and choose a table to be seated at. There's a bar with cilantro, onions, and some sauces to grab for yourself. The interior is beautiful and modern, and they have a lot of pictures of the dishes up at the front. The pho broth was sooo flavorful and tasted super authentic - didn't have to add anything to it! Shout out to the lunch crew working on 10/6. They were super friendly and walked around refilling our waters. Can't wait to come back every week! :-) read more

Pho Please - Pho please (combination pho) with egg rolls and a side of vinegar onions! - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Updated review as of 1/25/2025: I tried Pho Please 2 years ago and left with 3-star review. They've improved their pho significantly over a couple of years. The portion is still big and they give a good amount of meat this time. It's a good ratio between the meat, noodles, and broth. Flavor is also much better now. Being a native Vietnamese, I hold a very high standard for Vietnamese food, especially pho. Pho Please is getting very close to the authentic one in Vietnam. Each region in Vietnam has slightly different flavors in their pho. Pho Please is on the slightly sweeter side, which is fine. We didn't order appetizers but saw that their spring rolls are big and crab rangoons are fluffy. Give this place a try if you're nearby, and experience good Vietnamese pho! read more

Met up here with my good friend to catch up. If you're starving and want huge portions, this is your best bet! Their portions are massive! I ordered a vermicelli bowl, but it was basically a platter! My friend ordered a banh mi sandwich and it was the size of a chunky baby's leg! It was a cold day when we went and my food got cold pretty quickly so I don't feel like I had a great experience. I would like to go back and try it again to see if they can give me a reason to give more stars on the food part, but service was pretty good :) read more

I think my mistake was coming to a Pho place then choosing Bun Bo Hue. The broth lacked the richness and flavor that is the foundation of a good soup! It also had an inch of grease floating on top that I have to spoon off. Bun Bo Hu is normally slightly on the spicy side. This one isn't. They do provide chili oil, that wasnt really spicy. It may be that they found most people in the area didn't like the spiciness of it. Solid 3 stars if you're looking for a quick pho. I'm sure the pho is good as that is what most of the people were eating while I was here. I'd pass on the Bun Bo Hue if I were to ever come back. read more
