    Pork Vermicelli (front) and Flat Noodles with Vegetables (back)
    Ricardo T.

    First time at this restaurant and the dining experience was very good. I had BBQ pork vermicelli with 2 spring rolls and my wife had Flat Noodles with Vegetables....very tasty and generous portions. The menu is extensive and will try a different dish next time. The decor is western style. This past particular Sunday was very noisy bc several small children were present. Service was prompt and friendly by bar lady...fortunately we sat at a booth facing the bar which shielded us from screaming kids a bit. Next time we come to this restaurant we plan to request to leave off the MSG ingredient.

    Took a risk by stopping by the restaurant as we pass by Marble Falls on our way to Enchanted Rock. Ambiance is very nice and screams Texas; not a traditional hole in the wall you typically expect in a viet restaurant. The hostess greeted us in Spanish initially which got us nervous thinking this might be a bad choice for Asian food. Don't worry, it got better from here... To our surprise, the food is quite good! We order Pho and Vermicelli dish and both are delicious! The folks working here are nice and friendly. Pho w. Sliced ribeye and brisket (4/5) - great bowl of noodle soup overall. We ordered a large and the bowl was like a normal size as we get at other pho restaurants in Austin; with that said, their meat portion was very generous. The ribeye was not as tender as we would like for rare steak but it was still good. Brisket was good but nothing to rave about. Pho broth was not bad at all. This hits the spot as comfort food during our road trip. Grill pork with egg roll vermicelli (5/5) - this dish is huge and the flavor of grilled pork is spot on. Fish sauce is very good too which to me, one key item that makes or breaks a good vermicelli. The egg roll here is SOOO good. It has a very good authentic Vietnamese "cha gio" stuffing flavor. I'm impressed! I will definitely reorder if we ever come back.

    Service was fast but food was mid at best. Spring roll was the best thing. Vermicelli noodles were too oily. My boyfriend liked his brisket and ribeye pho but said it was too salty.

    For a non traditional pho house, it's actually not bad. It's not Pho Bac in Garland... but it satisfied my needs.

    We came here a few weeks ago for some Pho. It was pretty good so we decided to try some of the other dishes. The first time we came the Pho was good but this most recent time, the other dishes were tried were "okay" at best. We ordered the house egg rolls. When we got home, and we only live a few minutes away, they were almost cold. They actually tasted as if they had been sitting under a heating lamp, but definitely not fresh. I asked the person handing me the food if they had any hot mustard. The reaction on his face told me he has been asked this many time before, but they didn't and only offered me siracha in a packet. Seems if they can have siracha, hot mustard wouldn't be that hard to get in packets. We also ordered the Chicken Fried Rice. It was supposed to come with carrots and peas; there were some very think julienne carrots but no peas. Not even one. I don't know what chicken they use, but it's flavorless and the rice is basically plain tasting. We tried the Lo-mein with chicken and Pad Thai with Chicken. They use a flat noodle and not a traditional lo-mein noodle. It came with the vegetables (broccoli, peppers, bok choy and mushrooms. They advertise "whole green peas" but there were none. There might have been two or three pieces of bok choy and we only saw one piece of mushroom. The other veggies were saturated from sauce. The Pad Thai wasn't a lot better and in both dishes, it's the same chicken as the fried rice. Just very bland and chewy tasting. Not very fresh chicken. If this rating was based upon the other food, I would have given two starts, but the Pho was okay.

    more desired. The place was about average business when we got in at 530pm. We got seated quick and had orders taken quickly also. I got the Thai Basil entree with chicken and steamed rice plus a bowl of my go-to tom yum soup with chicken. My wife got the large beef pho bowl. We were shocked how quick they had our plates out to us. 10 minutes tops I'd guess. The food was terrific! I ate all my food (I was starving also) and my wife only had her pho broth left but she took it home with us as it was that good to waste she said. Our whole order with 2 drinks was under $50 with tax included. So it's quite affordable as well. This is now a highlight spot for us when in town for a good alternative cuisine selection.

    The service was great, the food is amazing and Definitely going back. Really nice restaurant.

    We were in the area to visit the Sweet Berry Farm for their activities and seen this spot heading there and told ourselves we have to come try it after visiting the farm. Im sure glad we did because we we're hungry and in the mood for all this yumminess. We order some appetizers: egg rolls & wontons- hot, fresh & delicious! The sauces paired up well. I had the combination fried rice and hubby had the Pho with all the meat. The combo rice is a good amount, so don't think its like a side for one person. The Pho was to the rim and comes with the regular add ons on the side. The restaurant is clean and nicely laid out. The service was friendly and on it. I would definitely recommend this spot and will revisit.

    Very nice establishment with great interior design touch, however the food was lacking for the…read moreprice. I went with my brother and we had a fun time talking with the people around us. For $150/head you get solid Chinese food, with nice presentation. To me, if I consider the $150 price point for the meal, paying simply for presentation is not enough, especially if you consider other restaurants competing at this price point in the Austin area. Very few of the dishes had any real flavor advancements/innovations past the original Chinese dish it was based on. For example, the salt and pepper lobster comes out in this fancy wide wooden dish, filled with dried peppers, and then is seated on a textured stone bowl with sliced lettuce under the lobster tail. All to get 2 bites of typical tasting lobster. Was the lobster good? yes, but the general feeling is pay more to get better presentation, and less food for the money, not a food taste upgrade. To be fair, that may be what the restaurant is targeting. To contextualize Ling's kitchen, I feel as if you would be able to get a larger version of most if not all dishes, with similar quality in Houston for $20. For $150 you would be able to feed an entire family with drinks and dessert normally so I do not feel as if the money is worth it. Not much innovation on the flavors for the palate, but the food had very cute visuals. Service was nice, and the Chef's energy was infectious.

    Finally had a chance to try this out to celebrate my wife's birthday. If you get tired of reading,…read morethe punchline is "this is a meal you should go enjoy!" When you arrive, you are gathered in a side room with the other guests and served prosecco or tea, and a tasty opening bite. Our hosts were Nick and Mateo, and they were solid throughout the meal. If you want any wine/sake, you get that selected at this time (bottles only). We chose a sauv blanc from Round Pond, a CA vineyard where we'd visited with family years ago. Many of the dishes are seafood so this was a nice pairing. Once the group has arrived, you're seated around a giant and well decorated table in the actual kitchen. It's a super cool vibe with nice music and intimate lighting. Each course is announced with a gong, and thoughtfully explained, including the connection to Chef Ling and how to best enjoy. I didn't come across anything I didn't love, but I'll highlight a few of my favorites. The fried taro with spicy crabmeat aioli ate like a delicious crab cake! The dry aged Peking duck was a stunner, coming in a smoke filled wooden box. One piece was meant to be eaten in fluffy bun, the other to be enjoyed more purely. There's also a smoked duck tongue which is tasty, just trust me! There's also filet mignon was rich and tender, laying in a delicious green sauce. Chef's kiss! Midway through the meal you are invited to introduce yourself briefly to the table. You also get to walk around enjoy some extra bites and visit with the chefs. It was a charming and diverse crowd. A real slice of Austin. See my pictures for a good sense of what you're in for. You will definitely not leave hungry or disappointed. Chef Ling is present and makes her way around the table during the meal. She is kind and humble, but clearly knows what she's doing!

It has been one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants-and one of the only places to serve the Vietnamese pancake that I love. I sat down, getting ready to contemplate the menu. I was shocked to see it was a brand new menu. I asked my server about it, and he concurred that it is a new menu, but that the owners had taken many of the former choices off. . NO more fried rice-always my grandson's favorite. Although I was disappointed when it was time to order, I chose the Mixed Protein Bun. I requested shrimp and eggrolls. It is a bowl filled with rice noodles, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and your choice of protein. It also comes with a generous portion of fish sauce. After one bite, I knew that the old chef must have left. My food was so bland. To start with, I don't think it was salted at all..... which quite often affects the flavors negatively. There were no other spices or sauce or anything tasty in my bowl. I was very disappointed. I didn't even eat a quarter of the Bun. I didn't take the rest to go and I won't be returning, unless I see that they have returned to their former style of cooking. So I'll definitely be watching the reviews. It makes me very sad to have to write a negative review, especially about a place. I have enjoyed so much in the past!!!
