I've been to Pho Saigon several times, and while the food can be good, the biggest issue is the inconsistency. Every time we order, the broth tastes different. Sometimes it's rich and flavorful, but other times it's bland or noticeably different from previous visits. The service is generally friendly, and the ambiance is clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to dine. I just wish the quality of the broth were more consistent because the restaurant has a lot of potential. read more

During my business trip, I finally saw a Pho Restaurant, Pho Saigon. This was the first and only chance to get my Iced Vietnamese Coffee, so I took it. Yes, this really hit the spot. Strong, bold, slightly thick from the sweetened condensed milk. I wish I had more time to eat a bowl of pho but I had to get to the airport. Support your local business. read more

OK. This is a solid spot with kind people and a massive veggie pho for the price. (The large pho price here is a regular pho price everywhere else. That's a WIN.) It's loaded with fried tofu and big cuts of veggies (carrots, bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms), and they don't skimp on the basil, sprouts, lime, or jalapeños. HOWEVER, HERE is where they lost me: I swapped IN beef broth instead of the veggie broth for more collagen, but that broth came with such a heavy fried onion flavor that it completely overpowered the dish and took over the entire bowl. Not a hint of fried onion, y'all. A massive takeover. You might as well call this French Onion Pho. It turned what could've been a near perfect pho into something that tasted like French onion soup. If you love that flavor, you'll be happy. If you don't, it's a lot. DANG! It was SO close to greatness, but that broth threw everything off. If all of your other soup bases use lots of dried onions, LOSE THE DRIED ONION and check your other seasonings. Small changes make a world of difference. Oh well...you win some, you lose some. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My favorite pho place in austin, my family and I have been coming here since we moved to austin in 2011. Always have gotten the bun bo hue with a side of egg roll. This place never disappoints with their cheap price and fast, reliable food. read more

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. read more

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.

The service was absolutely amazing. I accidentally forgot that cilantro was in meatball dish so when I asked for them to remove them that was not a problem. I am not a huge spring roll person but husband liked them. I still thought there was too much ice in my coconut water. I will be back and get a kids pho. read more

I got the Vietnamese iced coffee, spring roll, and the chicken pho (pho ga). Both were great. What stood out to me about the pho was the broth. It was thin, but flavorful. It is clearly made with a good stock and not just cooked with the chicken bones for the soup, but made separately. It was also quite clean and clear. The iced coffee was as it should be. The spring roll was clearly made recently and was delicious with a nice sauce. The place was clean and the service was good and polite. I will definitely come back and try more of their numerous selections of pho. read more

ok so i ordered my usual pho, first thing i do is take a sip before eating to taste the soup and it turns out to be watered down. i had to add hoisin sauce and sarach to give it some flavor. when i tasted the hoisin alone, it tasted old. i also ordered the spring roll it tasted normal but small. not a fan of this place. my seach continues to find an appropriate vietnamese restaurant read more

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! read more

Came Christmas Eve because they were one of a select few places that were open in the area and I was craving some Vietnamese food. Came in and told them I wanted ordered to go so they gave me a menu and I ordered the grilled pork rice dish. They said it would be 15ish minutes so I said I would be back as I walked around the Chinatown plaza. Food was ready when I got back and the food was delicious and lots of it too! Will definitely be back as they have an extensive menu. read more

Best pho I've had in Texas!! As someone who's been to Vietnam, this is the closest thing to it. Broth here is so rich, not too oily, affordable, and packed with noodles/toppings. The line moves fast and the seating was clean. Even if the wait time was longer and food was more expensive- I'd still be ok with it. It's just that good. I'd give up my first born for this pho again. I almost cried at the table eating this. Will def be back when visiting Austin!! read more

I used to go here quite a bit when a group of friends lived in North Austin. A few years have gone by, and I decided to go back today since it's always been a favorite. Everything was as good as I remember, EXCEPT 4 or 5 pieces of beef in the bowl of lemongrass beef vermicelli that were so hard and grisly I couldn't chew them. I could understand how one or two pieces of muscle or rock hard fat tissue (hoping that's all it was) might find its way past the prep cook, but this was really ridiculous and merits mentioning. The first one nearly ruined it for me, the next few definitely did. I kept hoping it was just a fluke as I pulled each piece out of my mouth. I finally just ate the noodles and left the "meat." If that gets through the disposal it'll be a miracle. Lots of good places in South Austin, not sure if I'll make the drive back up here. read more

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. read more

Stopped in for bun Bo hue because I saw a review I just couldn't ignore. Wednesday around lunch and the place was busy! I was so excited I could hardly wait, once my bowl came out it was bun Bo city! Although looks could kill, the taste didn't really deliver. Lol. I was honestly sad throughout my meal. I felt like I was catfished. The bowl had it all: pork hock, blood cubes, Vietnamese ham, beef brisket, thinly sliced pork belly. Everything was there but it was all half assed. The meat was not carefully prepared/cleaned so each meat was very "gamey" yet bland. The pork blood was not cooked as I'm use to and I would describe this as undercooked, it kind of melted in my mouth a little. Which is not what I would like for a blood cube lol.... I would never eat this item from here again as I don't ever want my love for this dish to be tainted. The highlights are presentation, freshness of herbs/condiments, and fast service from very attentive staff. Overall, there are other menu items I would love to try but this one wasn't it for me. read more

Excellent pho. The broth was tasty. The fatty brisket was extremely chewy which is why I am docking a star. I would LOVE if they offered bone marrow as an add on. For now the green onion tallow is a great touch to add onto pho. Their bun bowl was good/average. No complaints. We will be back! read more

I definitely overate - it was a lot of food worth it! Located in Chinatown, there are many food options to choose from after too (my favorite dessert drink place is Bambu) read more

If you want authentic Pho, this is the place. We've tried other places, but quickly stopped because after having the real, the best and freshest pho you could ever imagine, nothing compares to this place. Hands down number one pho in Austin,TX. I could live off this stuff. I was introduced to this place from a fellow Vietnamese co-worker who took me and a group out to eat for lunch. 10 years later I brought my girlfriend, now my wife to eat Pho for the first time. She immediately fell in love with Pho Saigon's Pho. #11 with side of spring rolls. Customer service is always great. Once you walk through those doors Into the restaurant the aroma is so wonderful. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Everything at this restaurant is delicious, you need to go and just try a different item on the menu each time. You won't be disappointed! I like ending my meal with their coffee it's very strong (just like the doctor ordered!) sweet and creamy with the condensed milk after you mix it well! The service is good. They're always very fast. They see you right away. They take your order quickly and food comes out quickly as well. I'd like the ambience. It's just people eating nothing special but it's nice relaxing. read more

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered the tofu pho, Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef and pork soup), and Bun Nuoc Leo Bac Lieu (vermicelli pork soup). All were delicious and the portions were huge for a decent price. The meats in each dish were pretty huge. I wished they had banh mi sandwiches, but the bowl I had was fulfilling anyways. Definitely would be back should I return to this city. Staff were friendly and fast. Lots of tables and chairs and the parking lot is huge. Restroom were a bit dirty, but otherwise, it was a good place for lunch. read more

Whenever it gets a little cloudy and chill I like to venture here. Good quality comfort food that soothes the soul.

Everything was great. Service,Food and the environment was awesome. Tried a lot of pho and bun bo hue this is one of the best!

This is my GO-TO place for pho in Austin! Although it's a bit more north than desired, the fact that I drive up here whenever I'm craving a delicious bowl of pho should speak for itself! They have a savory broth (with a hint of sweetness) that I haven't found at other pho restaurants in the area, so it's the broth that keeps me coming back. Their spring rolls are just as delicious, so don't hesitate on starting your meal with an order of these -- all the food items will come out in minutes! You won't regret coming here for your next bowl of pho :) read more

I think this place was ok. The pho broth was pretty good. I'm use to a lot more deeper flavors but it's good here. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and patient.
