I was excited to try this place. I got the sip pho which is a combo beef. All this type of beef are not chewable and super rough, not sure what's the yellow part on the beef. When I asked the server, the server said you got a combination you will get this type of beef. The attitude is not what I expected. Like I ordered a combo, I must get some bad meat in there? Not sure what's the yellow part and why the beef is so rough. Ambiance is fine. The little fan decoration on the ceiling is cute. Disappointed at the food. read more

Came here and got the Sip Pho combo. Really solid bowl, especially for being so close to campus. The broth was flavorful, clean, and comforting, and the portion felt just right. They have a UT student discount if you show your ID, which is a nice bonus. You order at the counter and self serve your own water and drinks, so everything feels quick and casual. The vibes are very nice and aesthetic, clean and modern without feeling too busy. read more

Absolutely loved this place!! Everything we ordered was so good, but the Wagyu pho really stood out super rich, flavorful broth and the beef just melts in your mouth. The brisket pho was also great, comforting and packed with flavor. Crab rangoons were obviously amazing as well. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The place is super cute on the outside and inside as well. This is definitely going into my regular rotation whenever I'm craving pho. Can't wait to come back soon!!! read more

Just got dinner from here for the first time and ordered the beef pho and it was delicious! I got the rare steak for my protein and it was pretty good. The broth was great and I loved how they had an area with extra limes and toppings for the pho. The restaurant was very unassuming from the outside so I was very surprised by how cute it was when we walked in. Service was also very good and our food came out super fast! read more

A classic Pho staple right near campus. Although I'm not always craving this place, it does hit the spot eventually on rainy days which are the only times I come. I always get their seafood pho which has generous helpings of seafood. The broth is slightly bland but that can be easily remedied with sriracha and hoisin. I've tried their rangoons and bbq buns and those were actually really amazing. The bbq pork was marinated really well and cooked amazingly. The only downside is that the items are slightly pricey. read more

At first I was skeptical about this place due to the nice vibes (iykyk) and the location, but I was wrong!!! Their pho is cooked right and has a great balance of beef bones and appropriate spices. I also got their cafe sua da and that was also very good (strong). I wanna try their BBH next time as it looked pretty darn tasty too. I would be a regular here! read more

Craving Pho and made a stop here on a Saturday a little before 2pm. Parking is terrible but if you can walk or find a spot it's definitely worth it. Ordered the waygu pho and the vermicelli short ribs. Got seated inside and we were served very promptly. First out was the pho waygu. The waygu portion was very sizable which for the price was appropriate. Cooked directly how you like in the steaming bowl of broth. The meat was fresh and tender, the broth was spiced beautifully. Very rich and flavorful. The short ribs were also delicious, albeit served not at the same time. Marinated in a sweet savory sauce, slightly chewy but this did NOT detract from the overall deliciousness of the dish. Heaping portions of both. The place is an order at the counter, served at the table spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Kinda tight on room inside but still an OK set up. The prices are def not poor college kid prices, over $50 for our two dishes but again, banging flavors and huge portions so worth it if you come hungry and are craving some great Vietnamese food. read more

Sip Pho is the spot! Came here on a Sunday during brunch hours after a night of drinking, and this place hit the spot! We ordered the pork egg rolls, "The Works" Pho (Pho Dac Biet for us Viet folks), Bun Bo Hue, and Vietnamese Coffee. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The quality of the food and portion size was worth it. The Bun Bo Hue came with a huge short rib, and had meat normally found in Pho. It was unique to see and very tasty. Located near UT- Austin, so generally had a younger crowd as well as local families wanting to enjoy delicious Pho. You order at the counter and then seat yourself after. Chill atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely recommend this place and will be back! read more

Tried Sip Pho for the first time and had a great experience. As soon as we walked in, the restaurant felt very clean with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. You place your order at the front before being seated, which was an easy process. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and my husband ordered the Sip Pho. Both broths were rich and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. My Bun Bo Hue came with a beef rib that was tender and delicious. One unique thing was the noodles in the Sip pho bowl--they were slightly thicker than vermicelli, which was different but not a big deal. For drinks, I ordered the Matcha Green Thai Tea. It had an interesting flavor combination, but the matcha taste was a bit overpowered by the green Thai tea. It was still enjoyable, though slightly too floral and sweet for my personal preference. The prices were very reasonable, and they offered a great variety of pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Next time I visit, I'd love to try the egg rolls since I noticed many people ordering them. The only downside was parking. There are about six spots in front of the restaurant, with additional parking in the back. It was a little difficult to find a spot, likely because we visited on a weekend. Overall, I would definitely come back again. read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] There's limited parking in front of the restaurant, but we were lucky to snag a spot right out front. To dine in, you order at the counter first; they'll then assign you a table and give you a table number. The food came out fairly quickly, and the portion sizes were generous but it was lacking the Vietnamese authenticity we were looking for. The interior design is very cozy with cool hanging paper fans. Rice Grill Combo ($18): You get to choose two proteins; we picked the pork chops and beef short ribs. It also comes with a side of light broth. The short ribs were better than the pork chops, but overall, the dish didn't really stand out. Matcha Thai Tea with Aloe Vera Jelly ($6.50) + Oat Milk Sub ($0.50): Pretty good! It had that distinct green Thai tea flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. The aloe vera jelly made it especially refreshing. Banh Mi Pork Belly ($11): This was a massive sandwich--I was full after just half. The pork belly was flavorful and well-marinated, though a bit on the salty side. While the sandwich was loaded with fresh veggies, it didn't quite come together as a cohesive bite. The pork belly was overpowering and threw off the balance. We actually thought the pork belly would've worked better as a rice dish than in a banh mi. read more

drove 30min out of the way to try this spot but did not get to eat. Staff did not want to seat our group, which is weird because you order at the register then sit down to wait for your food. We were willing to sit separately and there was plenty of open tables. After a little back and forth with multiple staff we left. I personally don't like to stay at a place where staff doesn't want us there. Do better be nicer to families and groups of more then 2 people especially since we were willing to sit where ever you put us and not all together. I only put 1 star because it wasn't willing to post without one read more

Delicious pho and banh mi served in an inviting bright room with reasonable acoustics at a good price. The staff are friendly and helpful. My shrimp and chicken were somewhat overcooked... but given the heat of the broth, this was inevitable. Consider this when you select your protein. This is a fine place to dine on your own. I was so hungry that I forgot to take photographs. There are four or five parking spots in front of the restaurant and a few behind, but don't even think of parking next-door at Kabobzi's. They tow. read more

This Beef Rib Pho is legit everything. Gotta say, Sip Pho is my solid go-to whenever that pho craving hits hard. The vibe inside is always chill--super clean and modern, so you can just relax and focus on the food. I came in today because I was having one of those days and needed something seriously comforting to treat myself. I already knew what I was getting before I even sat down. Okay, let's talk about the Beef Rib Pho because, wow. You guys, the beef rib is HUGE. Like, comically big in the best way possible, and the meat is so tender it just falls apart if you look at it too hard. It melts right into the broth, which is legit fantastic--super rich and flavorful but still clean and not greasy. You get all the fresh basil, sprouts, and lime on the side to deck it out however you want. Honestly, this isn't your average bowl of pho; this is the one you get when you want to indulge. It's why I keep coming back here every now and then. The quality is always on point, and it hits the spot every single time. If you're looking for a next-level pho that feels like a big warm hug, this is it. Seriously. read more

The combination pho bowl is my go-to choice when it comes to pho restaurants, and I felt like the restaurant used high-quality meat for my dish! The brisket and rare steak were lean and in general, the overall ratio between the meat and noodles met my expectations. The rice noodles that they use are a bit wider than the standard rice noodles that come with other pho restaurants, so that was a nice surprise! They have an unlimited side bar where you can grab extra toppings like lime wedges, cilantro, red onions, etc. which I really appreciated. The only thing I would caution is their limited parking spots -- there's some parking in front of the restaurant and some additional parking spots in the back through the alleyway, but in general, space is tight. Please be careful of parking spots that belong to other stores (watch for tow signs), because I've heard they actually do end up towing vehicles parked incorrectly. read more

Sip Pho - Combination Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I ordered the bun bo hue and had a really concerning experience. I understand this dish is supposed to have a strong, complex flavor with ingredients like lemongrass and sometimes a hint of pineapple, along with fermented shrimp paste--but this tasted completely off. The broth was overwhelmingly dominated by a harsh shrimp smell and flavor, with none of the balance I expected. There was no lemongrass aroma, no brightness, just an intense, almost unpleasant shrimp taste that made it hard to eat. Shortly after trying it, I started feeling nauseous and had noticeable stomach discomfort. I couldn't continue eating. I'm not sure if this was due to improper preparation or ingredient quality, but it definitely didn't feel right. This experience made me seriously question the food quality and safety here. Even bold, traditional dishes should still taste balanced and not make customers feel physically unwell. I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering again unless this is addressed. read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very very cute interior. I got the pho with brisket and flank steak as well as the bun bo hue and egg rolls. Egg rolls 2/5 I'm not sure if it's because I lost my sense of taste because I'm under the weather but it had no flavor. 2 dollars per egg rolls that are mid in flavor is a sin in my opinion. Pho is okay nothing crazy. The noodles have a nice texture. The bun bo hue also wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to and it's pretty oily. However there is a lot of meat which is nice. Food came out SUPER fast. I have pretty high standards for Vietnamese food and this just wasn't it for me. The boba looked good though! read more

Visited 23rd of February '25. The good: One of the better Vietnamese placed around campus. I loved how deep and smooth the beef pho w/ seafood was when I got it and I can tell that their servers really care about service. The bad: Really busy especially on weekends. There was a long line that made it out the back door, and when our party of 6 got to the counter, we had to wait a while to get seated. read more

They do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, or species. So, if you want to enjoy a nice meal alongside your squiggly and squinchy friend Mag(gie), this is totally the place. 10/10 pho bowls. read more

Line to sit inside can be long especially during peak hours, so it might be hard for large parties more than 4-5. It's very cozy/modern with both inside and outdoor seating. Water and condiments are self serve. The service is good and the staff are friendly every time I have been. We both got the beef pho, one with rare steak/tripe the other with rare steak/flank. Portions are not as large as some other pho places I have been to in Houston but pretty good for Austin. You can walk from wampus/campus to it and you also can get a student discount. They also give you mint, limes, bean sprout, and mint to add to your pho. Overall, I think this is the best pho place near campus! read more

I was so hungry, and the food was so good, that I forgot to take a picture! However, I got the vegan noodles, and it was very filling, delicious, and a great bang for your buck! They really only had two vegan options: pho or dry noodles. I got the dry noodles, and again, it was delicious! It was one of the best places I tried in Austin, TX! My friends, who do eat meat, were also very happy and full with the meal. The location was walking distance from the University, and the decor inside was very cute! It was quaint and clean! All the girls working there were very nice and helpful. My only piece of feedback was that going there with a large party is a bit difficult. We had 5 people total, and we had to wait a little bit longer for a table inside because it was pretty full. It's first come first serve and you HAVE to order before grabbing a table. You can't add yourself to a waitlist or a reservation, so just keep that in mind before you visit. Nevertheless, I'd definitely come back! It was great!! read more

Sip Pho is my parents favorite Vietnamese restaurant for the bun Bo hue and it is definitely our favorite in Austin area. We usually come to sip pho for this specific dish. This time that we went, the bun Bo hue was skimping in meat which was not the norm. There was tons of noodles and the portion between meat/noodle was completely off balanced. That was disappointing. The grilled beef vermicelli bowl was terrible. Fish sauce was not well balance. The beef was under seasoned and noodles were cold and a bit hard. I do not recommend this dish. I don't think I've liked this dish every time I ordered it. Do I recommend this place? Yes for the bun Bo hue when they put the normal balance of meat and noodles. read more

Parking was incredibly limited. The line wrapped outside of the building. I waited in line well over 30 minutes. When I finally got to the register to order, I was told that only to-go orders would be taken as the restaurant was closing soon. In my opinion this is a terrible customer experience. If the restaurant was going to only offer take out ordering after a certain time, this should have been communicated well in advance. If restaurant staff actually informed us while in the line, I would have gone elsewhere since I was looking for an in restaurant dining experience. I had the crab rangoons and beef pho with brisket and rare steak. The crab rangoons were good but the pho was underwhelming. My pho was very bland. Definitely not worth the hassle of finding parking, waiting a long time, and not being able to eat on premises. read more

I was writing up the review for a different pho restaurant and decided to look at my historic pho reviews. My previous review is embarrassing, and I cannot believe I never updated it. Sip Pho actually changed my mind on pho because their chicken pho absolutely blew me away. I visited Sip Pho a few times during college and after because I liked it so much. They have free (albeit limited) parking too, yay. The vibes are great, and the food is pricey but very good. They give a discount if you bring your UT student ID. read more

Great spot for a quick meal that will still satisfy you. The pho here is pretty good and generous portions as well. The bahn mi and boa buns were pretty similar, just a different bread so I was bummed out when I ordered both. The pickled vegetables don't taste pickled at all and honestly felt they were both a bit dry and lacking in flavor. read more

A quintessential "home-base" restaurant for true Austinites. Sip Pho is a gram-worthy, fairly-priced Vietnamese spot in North Campus/Hyde Park. I'm a long-time fan and have tried nearly everything on the menu, but my personal faves are the beef broth pho with rare steak, crab rangoons, and the Cucumber Watermelon fountain drink! Their boba brûlée and bun boe hue are also absolutely delicious. Served up via counter-service, it's a casual spot perfect for first-dates or grabbing a hot meal during finals week. Pro-tip: they have a UT student discount, you just need to show them your physical UT ID. read more

Great first visit to Sip Pho! I attended a private event here, and the staff was incredibly kind / welcoming. The food was excellent, so we will definitely be back to try a few more of their options. Our favorites were the beef pho and the pork belly bao (for an appetizer). Great portion sizes! Hope you show up hungry, because this is perfect for nearby Texas students (who, with Military service members, also happen to get a nice discount on their orders). Thankful that places still do this to welcome members of the community :) read more

As a UT Austin student, Sip Pho is within walking distance of campus and gives 10% off to students. It's convenient and good for a quick vietnamese food fix. Fast service and you get your food fast. Usually busy, so there may be a line. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Quick eats kinda ambiance. I've tried many things off their menu: Pho The Works - it is their beef pho with EVERYTHING in it. I'd go with just their choose 2 meat option and do their filet mignon and brisket or meatballs. The rest is like tendon, tripe, and fatty stuff. Bahn Mi - Decent size, good portion, good flavors, nothing too standoutish but pretuu to good! Cream Cheese Rangoon - They were big and good! But i don't know if id get it again. Egg rolls - again it was good, nice appetizer read more
