    General Tao's Children
    Kathleen R.

    First time trying this place. I first have to say I'm jaded by authentic Vietnamese cuisine and this, though owners are Vietnamese and their recipes the cooks are not. Yes it does make a difference. The Thai tea was watered down and had no flavor, bland. The Vietnamese egg rolls were ok, not great and not as crispy as traditional rice paper egg rolls. You get 2 thinly rolled egg rolls as appetizer with a large lettuce leaf, missing the cilantro. The pork though it taste good it lacks the true spices that's it's usually grilled with. It came with lettuce carrots cucumber and bean sprouts. The fish sauce was a little too vinegar but add hot sauce it was better. I can't review the general Tao dish because I didn't try it. My husband however liked it and took home his leftovers. I would try it again when in the area but not go out of my way as I do to go to San Marcos for pho. Staff was pleasant enough but very rushed. We like the casual atmosphere with tv playing sports over the nice bar. Look like a full bar menu. Prices are higher than you'd expect to pay but you are in Belterra.

    I'm so sad that the service here was this horrible. There were 6 workers and 7 parties dining in. I could see they were getting a lot of take out orders too but goodness. This was pretty bad. I came at 4pm on a Sunday, when one would expect great and attentive service.. I had 4 in my party. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 order of spring rolls and 1 order of Thai chicken wings. These came out relatively slow. But we were long done with these and no one had taken our main order. After flagging down someone, we ordered 2 combination pho, 1 pork banh mi, and 1 salt and pepper squid entree. Nothing was written down. One of the 2 phos came out 10 minutes before anything else, then a shrimp dish (that no one ordered) the banh mi, and then another bowl of pho. The squid plate came out last, the vegetables were very well cut and presented by the portion and size of squid pieces were underwhelming. The pho was good but there were no herb/veggie plate to accompany it. After asking for some, a very sad plate came out that looked half eaten/unused by another person. I was very sadden by this experience bc I love Vietnamese food and this location is so close to us. I hope they are able to hire more help/train their current staff better... Our meals cost a total of $65.

    Best Bahn Mi outside the city. I crave those sandwiches. Staff is polity & friendly. Bright interior with lots of plants. Just a great place to hang out, sip a beer, and enjoy some good food.

    My husband ordered take out tonight including the ribeye pho. He got home, opened the container and the beef was raw. Not just rare .... actually RAW. The bag of vegetable toppings did not look fresh either .

    Update to my review: This restaurant has stepped up and repaired all of the things that affected our experience last time. Our server, Michael G was very attentive and the food came out very quickly and was as good as we remembered. We had the beef pho (p2) and chicken pho, and cream cheese wontons. With the experience improved, I would definitely recommend this restaurant once again.

    Took my friend who was born and raised in Vietnam and he was surprised by the flavor of the pho broth and enjoys the pork vermicelli regularly. Can't go wrong with the food here, pho is perfect for the cold weather. Friendly service, ample portions and overal a good variety of pan-Asian flavors/dishes

    North Hays County getting a McDonalds....meh. NHC getting a Simply Pho...OMG OMG OMG. I've been a fan of this restaurant for awhile. Have dined at Bee Cave for years and also Marble Falls because my BFF lives out there. They couldn't build this place fast enough for me! Girlfriend and I hadn't visited any of them together; we went a few weeks after the opening. Charcoal Pork Spring Rolls started our dining adventure. Very fresh ingredients paired with a peanut dipping sauce. Cream Cheese Wontons were next; perfect golden exterior with a gooey center. Pho has never been my thing; Bun on the other hand is a personal favorite. Always B2 at Simply Pho with Charcoal Pork and grilled Shrimp. Dump in the fish sauce, toss the ingredients, zig zag some sriracha across the top and dive in! Tom Kha soup with Shrimp is also a personal favorite. Girlfriend chose Combination Pad Thai and liked her first visit. Leftovers made it home too so I got a few bites. Could have been spicier for me; luckily they will adjust spice to taste if you ask. Also, hand sanitizer on every table. I may go broke and get fat dining here....

You order at the counter and they deliver the food table side. No frills on the service, which is why it's affordable. We ordered: pork XLB, pan fried pork and shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes, steamed pork buns, and suan tsai spicy beef noodles. The suan tsai spicy beef noodles with pickled greens stole the show. WOW. Perfect amount of heat in a flavorful broth. The pickled greens really balanced out the heat in the perfect way. I could eat this every day and be happy. Noodles were thick and perfectly cooked. I was inhaling the soup and scallion pancakes (also incredible) and left the XLB sitting too long. By the time I got to them, the slightly thicker wrapping had absorbed all the soup. Still good flavor though! The pan fried dumplings were also good, but just overshadowed by the soup in my opinion. I didn't try the steamed buns (not typically my jam), and my husband said the bun itself was great, but the meat needed some flavor. Nothing to photograph as we ate almost everything! I'll be dreaming about the pickled soup tonight as I roll into bed.

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.

I love the way they "KEEP AUSTIN SPICY" and am looking forward to some house specials upon return.
