    I've been here many times already and it's always been great food and value. Service is fast. The coffee is really good. It's a good way to start your day with pho fo breakfast.

    Love coming here for pho!!! The portion sizes are huge so I always get the kids chicken pho or else I won't be able to finish it!! The broth is so flavorful and the prices are amazing!!!

    Love love #26. I do not remember what my friend ordered but all delicious. Less fatty and you can ask for more cilantro. Fresh basil and beansprouts. Jalapeño for preferred level of spicy. Affordable. Great serving size for regular. No military discount but great service, food and clean overall! It is in Chinatown and that is a plus!

    Vermicelli bowl with grilled beef, egg roll, and a side of shredded pork & pork skin! So good!

    An oldie but a goodie. If you need a fast, delicious and affordable meal, this place is for you! Staff are friendly and service is fast. The food is always good with big portions! Our favorites are pork chop rice, grilled chicken vermicelli, egg rolls, Spring rolls, and Bún bò Huế (only wish their pork leg were more tender)! All in all, it's our all-time favorite place for a quick meal when we're in the area!

    Best thing about this place is the value. Good size portions for the price but the food was just okay. The pho broth was too salty and the meatballs had whole peppercorns in them and weren't my favorite. The pork chop was very thick and therefore a bit tough. Huge restaurant with tons of seating though and pretty fast service! If you are really hungry and want a cheap meal I'd come here but I'd probably go somewhere else for higher quality food.

    Nice homely feel pho place. Food was great, quick and friendly service, plenty of seating. The portions were huge , plenty of noodles , yum soup , and the jasmine tea was also a good addition. This one's inside the Chinatown plaza.

    This is a good pho restaurant with many other Asian restaurants in close proximity to each other. Price is good, portion is good, food is good, service is good. There is plenty of seating and parking. To say short, it's a good pho place, but nothing mind blowing. It gets the job done.

    I drive 45 minutes from Jonestown just for the Bun Thit Nuong. The flavor of the grilled pork is spot on and delicious. The service is always quick and helpful. Restaurant is very clean. Pho Saigon is where I take friends and family from out of town who crave the true flavors of Vietnam. They will continue to be on 'My Keepers List'.

    Bun Bo Hue - if you're a lover of this then must try! @nhueats_

    This is the best you can get with Vietnamese food in Austin. As a Vietnamese I've tried a lot of Vietnamese places and this place has an extensive menu and hits the nail for to the time being for Vietnamese food. I really enjoy their Pho and Bun Bo Hue. My family really enjoys their vermicelli bowls. The ambiance is a regular Asian restaurant nothing aesthetic but love their big open window. The service is decent. I'll always go back to this place with my family when I'm close by!

    We were in the mood for some pho and decided to give this place a try. It's been several years since we were last here. Upon seating ourselves, we were immediately greeted with two glasses of water. The waiter then asked us if we were ready to order. We needed a little more time to study the menu. After a few minutes, the waiter came back to take our order. We split an order of spring rolls to start off. They were tasty and the peanut sauce was really delicious. I ordered #19 pho with round steak and skirt flank. Our orders came out very quickly and piping hot. My bowl had plenty of rice noodles and meat. I added the basil and bean sprouts. I thought it was very good, but my hubby stated that the broth wasn't robust enough.... he eats pho more than I do. There was a decent number of people here during lunch period. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals.

Time to Order: 5 minutes for appetizers, 12 minutes for dumplings and soups Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings: 5/5 still fantastic Black Fungus with Onions: Nice and light, like a little salad with pickled vegetables. Nice and crispy. The good old Hot Spicy Stew #25: 5/5 still incredibly filling and they're so generous with meats! 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.

There were water, bowls, utensils, and sauces in the lobby for anyone to grab, which was nice. We ordered their cucumber salad, beef noodle soup, and lamb noodle soup. Cucumber salad was 2/5. It wasn't the authentic smashed cucumber salad, the flavor was missing something, and I mean, for $7 or $8, you would think it would be amazing....it's not. Pretty disappointing, I'd much rather have my sister's over these. Beef noodle soup was meh. Nothing special. Broth was very simple, like they just added salt and that's it. Meat was cooked very well. My soup came with 1 piece of lettuce, weird.. Lamb noodle soup was the same as the beef noodle soup; it did come with the black fungus, seaweed, tofu, and some vermicelli clear noodles, along with their handmade noodles. Made sense why it was only $13.95 for the noodle soups. It's reasonably priced probably due to not being authentic, though, I wouldn't pay more than $10. They had handmade noodles, which many people do like. However, their noodles were very bland, along with their soup. I didn't find anything special here either. Maybe I'll get their dumplings or fried noodles the next time we come, but it's a no for me.

The beef pieces are super tender and the texture of the hand-pulled noodles gets me every time! We wanted to try a couple of new items so we ordered their version of the beef scallion pancake role and it was surprisingly refreshing with the generous amount of cucumber slices while still maintaining a crispy, airy crunch and just the right amount of savory hoisin flavor -- paired nicely with the noodles! The Pan Fried Pork & Shrimp Buns surprisingly contained a surplus of soup even though the bottoms were perfectly pan fried. Please watch out when you take the first bite because soup went bursting out the other end with one of the buns LOL. You don't need a side of sauce for the buns because the meat and soup are flavorful enough. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the meal and already looking forward to the next visit! :)

The servers were kind and informative. Our order was the sweet potato cheese rolls, marinated cucumber, chicken stir fry noodles, and pork stir fry noodles.

I do want to go back for more marinated cucumber and try the dumplings!

    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.

    After landing in San Antonio yesterday to kick off my summer vacation, the very first thing I did…read moretoday was ask my friend to bring me back to this restaurant. The reason is simple: we ate here two years ago, and it left such a great impression on us that we had been looking forward to coming back ever since. Fortunately, not much has changed in terms of either the quality or the overall presentation of the food. Everything is still delicious, especially the Pho Combo. To be honest, it's far better than most of the pho we've had in Germany. That doesn't mean the pho in Germany is bad--it simply means this place matches my personal taste much better. As for the downsides, they're almost exactly the same as before. Parking is still a major challenge, and I understand that's probably not something the restaurant can easily fix. We also tried calling ahead to reserve a table, but they don't take reservations, whether you're coming with a group of 5-7 people or just 2-3 people. We arrived at 6:45 PM and still had to wait about 40 minutes before being seated, which was honestly quite inconvenient. Coincidentally, there was live music tonight, which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the sound system wasn't very good, so it was difficult to hear what the singers were performing. Then again, this isn't really the type of venue where people come specifically to enjoy live music, so most diners didn't seem to pay much attention to it. One thing I did notice was that either the kitchen has made a few changes over the past two years, or perhaps my own taste has changed a little. The food felt slightly saltier than I remembered, and the pho broth was richer and creamier. While that added some depth of flavor, it was a bit too rich for my liking, to the point where finishing the entire bowl of broth felt a little overwhelming. The braised short ribs were incredibly tender--so tender that a knife was almost unnecessary, and they could easily be pulled apart with just a fork. While many people would probably see that as a positive, I actually missed the slightly firmer, meatier texture I remembered from my last visit. That said, these are relatively minor issues. The quality may have dipped just a little compared to our previous visit, but this is still an excellent restaurant. If they can fine-tune those small details, it would easily return to being one of my favorite places. There's a good chance we'll stop by one more time before heading back to Germany.

    Is it that time of year for another 1618 update? Absolutely…read more After my umpteenth visit, I think it's safe to say I've worked my way through almost the entire menu (minus a few noodle, chicken & vegetarian dishes). My 2025 review still stands, but after so many visits, I've noticed a few items haven't been good as they used to, particularly the chicken wings (and yes, all three of them). The Garlic Wings haven't been hitting quite the same. They've started to taste a little dry, and the saucier wings taste better the next day since they don't have time to steep through once served. The Filet Mignon Pepper Steak is still my favorite dish on the menu, but I still can't justify ordering it family-style anymore. It's delicious, but the portion just doesn't match the price. One of the newest additions--the Truffle Fried Rice is spectacular. It's light, not overpowering with truffle, and the fish eggs really adds the perfect little pop of texture/flavor. I don't think I breathed the entire time I scarfed it down!! 1618 is still one of my favorite restaurants in Austin of all time, but I think it's time for the menu to elevate a bit and dive deeper into less mainstream Asian cuisine. If anyone can do it, 1618 can.
