    Bun Bo hue (not a great photo but this dish is fantastic )
    Elise M.

    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!

    Beef pho

    Second time here and it was just as good as the first! I love the beef pho here. Great portion and high quality meat. Service has always been good and food comes out fast!

    Pho
    Adilene P.

    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!

    Vegan pho and  tofu rice paper rolls!
    Mira D.

    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.

    Rice Paper Rolls (with grilled shrimp)

    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.

    Combo vermicelli- with shrimps and bbq short ribs
    Chrissy N.

    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! :-)

    Beef Pho ($15)

    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.

    Pork belly bahn mi
    Jack G.

    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.

    Serving sizes are so generous and pho broth was super flavorful! $15 for beef pho (comes with your choice of 2 cuts). Also ordered the lychee green tea which was delicious too. Service was friendly & quick.

    Pho please
    Michelle L.

    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.

    Pork Vermicelli

    Ordered pork vermicelli to go on January 26 (Monday) My only meal I had for that day, ended up getting Food Poisoning. Uncontrollable vomiting and ... It is now 4 am, still sick with tremors from the food poisoning. Might have to go E.R if the tremors and vomiting don't stop.

    Milk green tea
    Celine D.

    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!

    Pork vermicelli bowl
    Krasti Q.

    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.

They were giving out free smoothie samples with three options: mango OJ, strawberry & banana, and banana PB. Their smoothies aren't very sweet and overall pretty basic. The mango & orange one was too icy, so it was hard to sip. The banana & peanut butter mostly tasted like peanut butter, but it wasn't too thick, which I liked. They also let you spin a wheel for a prize which was fun. Parking can be difficult during rush hour so I recommend ordering for take out. My parents bought an 8 oz cup of the chicken soup with rice. It was actually really good and packed with ingredients. It's something I would gladly eat on a cold winter day. I definitely liked their soups a lot more than their smoothies.

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.

It's attached to a hotel and it definitely had the feel of 'room service fancy' when it came to the entrees. The waygu beef burger was a perfectly uniform bland patty in a sea of lukewarm fries with two sad slices of roma. The waygu steak wasn't bad, but again, room service fancy feel. The Green Goddess salad looked pretty good but expect to pay extra to add a protein. I did like the ambiance. The waitstaff was helpful and informative. The kitchen and bar took a while, even with just a few tables occupied. When we called to reserve a table, they let me know they couldn't split checks and gratted parties over 6, which I expected but appreciated they communicated it. The website was hard to navigate for me and the Happy Hour available under Caroline isn't actually offered anywhere but upstairs. If you have accessibility issues, note that there aren't any restrooms on the first floor. Be prepared to walk a maze through the restaurant, through the coffee shop and either up 4 switchbacks of stairs to the 2nd floor or to ride the elevator on the hotel side to find one. Overall, if you're planning a trip here, I would check out Caroline Upstairs and hit up the upper deck patio for drinks and appetizers and skip downstairs restaurant. Unless you like lukewarm fries with no seasoning! Then, this is your place
