From a Viet person, I'd say the fresh noodle is really the key here for me. The rating for BBH stands at 7 out of 10, Com Tam, on the other hand, 9 out of 10, pretty amazing ! Pho, while scoring a 7 out of 10, may require an additional fee to customize the type of meat desired. In general, the restaurant is considered to be fairly satisfactory in terms of its location, ambience, and convenience, further aided by the presence of a parking lot located behind the restaurant. read more

Food was amazing. Broth was super flavorful for both the Pho Rare Brisket and Pho Chicken. Service was standard, workers were kind of indifferent to us. They said no discount for ACC students, only UT. :( Ambiance was AWESOME. Super gorgeous vaulted wooden ceilings, decorated with white and red gold-dusted fans. Just stunning. Everything was beautiful. read more

Awesome pho and banh mi, super aesthetic space, and decent prices. I had the black milk tea with boba and the boba was so soft and bouncy and it was served in a glass jar. Really good. I had the tofu banh mi and it was a good size and really tasty. They have vegan and vegetarian options along with the regulars. It's family owned, too. Really love this place. We don't have a ton of Vietnamese restaurants in Austin, so I really appreciate that we have Sip centrally located. read more

recently dined at Sip Pho in Austin, Texas, and it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was modern and inviting, creating a comfortable setting for enjoying a meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that our dining experience was pleasant from start to finish. The pho was undoubtedly the star of the show. The broth was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced with the right amount of seasoning. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the fresh herbs and accompaniments added a delightful freshness to the dish. It was clear that a lot of care went into preparing the pho, making it one of the best I've had in Austin. Additionally, the menu offered a variety of options, ensuring that there's something for everyone. From traditional dishes to unique twists on Vietnamese cuisine, each item was crafted with quality ingredients and attention to detail. Overall, Sip Pho is a must-visit for anyone in Austin looking for delicious Vietnamese food in a welcoming environment. I look forward to my next visit! read more

This place is honestly pretty good- i really liked their beef pho! However the soup tends to be a little bit greasier as they put a lot of oil especially on their bun bo hue. I honestly didn't really like their bun bo hue but the pho here is really decent. They also use the thicker noodle instead of the thin one. The matcha crem brulee boba was pretty good as well but next time i'll probably get it without the boba balls because it seemed like its been soaking for too long and not really chewy. But overall i think this is a solid spot! You order up front and they bring your food to your table and service is fast. read more

Sip Pho is so delicious! This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first time! We had the bao buns with grilled pork, grill plate with pork and rice and another grill plate with beef short ribs and vermicelli. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! The portions were also very generous. Service was quick and friendly. Seating can be limited during peak hours, but we were able to grab a seat fairly quickly on a Sunday afternoon. We don't live close but will make the drive again and again! read more

Went on a Monday and it was busy but the service was amazing ! The food came out so fast. I love that there's a self serve condiment bar. The teas were delicious. The boba was also tasty all of the sodas on their machine are vegan. The pho is so flavorful and a really big portion! We got the tofu pho and the rare beef steak pho. I would definitely come back and it's so cute in here! There's indoor and outdoor seating. read more

It's been a year since I've been here, but coming back made me realize how much things have changed since then. It was packed at the restaurant as usual on a Sunday afternoon. My partner got the pho wagyu and I ordered the beef rib pho. We seated ourselves and waited for our order to come out. Normally, I'm not as nit picky but I couldn't help but noticed how the tables wasn't as clean. It had that sticky feeling to it. The silverwares seemed questionable too. Our veggies/herbs and soups came out shortly. The veggies ,not pictured, not only did not look appealing but was not fresh either. The bean sprouts had brown ends to it meaning it's at least a week old. My $18 beef rib soup was the next disappointment. For that amount, I was expecting for it to be tender. Instead, it was so tough. Even with the knife, it was hard to cut through it- because it was in a hot stone bowl. I'm not sure what happened since I last visited, but I have to sadly say the quality greatly decreased. I think the restaurant has a lot of attraction being near UT, but not enough workers to keep up with the volume of customers. As a result, quality decreased on all areas. read more

Cutest date night ever!!! The ceiling was decorated with tons of origami, perfectly highlighting the high barn style ceiling. My partner took me here after we went to a concert in the city and it was so cozy. Let's be real, we're here for the food. If you want Pho, they've got it and it is amaazinnggg. We shared a ban mi and pho and it was more than enough food. We actually ended up having to take some home since we started with an order of rangoons. Not only was the food delicious but the presentation was beautiful and the service was great. Definitely check this place out! read more

One of our favorite go-to spots for our family. With every opportunity, we try to bring friends or visitors to experience the deliciousness. For a Thursday dinner, there were plenty of parking (front or back lot) and seating (indoor or outdoor). The place is very clean with a nice ambiance for a meal with friends or a date! Service was fast and friendly with eagerness to assist with any and all your questions! The pho broth is delicious and the portions are more than enough. The Wagyu Pho is tasty and a must try when available. You get a hot bowl with the Wagyu beef on the side to place in the hot bowl at your desire. The tofu egg roll is a great appetizer with lots of flavor and the perfect crisp outer skin. The banh mi was delicious and tasty as well. Overall, this is a must visit and they even give a discount for veterans and students of UT! We will definitely be back. Enjoy! read more

Delicious Vietnamese food; Right around the college area, you're bound to find a variety of food from different cultures, and while you may not consider them fancy, they often have great down to earth flavors at reasonable prices. We came by right when they opened so it wasn't packed but just during the 30-45 minutes we were there it got quite busy, so it's no secret that this place has amazing food, enough for 2 meals really. The soup I got was packed with flavor and had a great balance of broth to veggie/meat ratio. Savory but not oily or fatty, not too salty but with all of the flavors you want. Would definitely go back and try some other items they have; if you're wanting no frills well priced soup/pho, this is a place you should check out read more

Sip Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really enjoyed my experience at sip pho. Got there around 7:30lm on a Saturday and this place is packed. All the front and overflown parking are full, we had to park at the gas station across the street. They had a sign saying shortage on employee, guess that's why we are seeing a line at the registry. However, we didn't have to wait long, the line move super fast! We ordered two appetizers, pork belly buns and crab Rangoon. We both loved the bun and how much picked vegetables they loaded on it for you. Have to point out, the pork belly is not the chunky ones you normally get elsewhere, but more of a slider pork belly. That made it so much more flavorful. The crab Rangoon is good but it's not the most impressive ones that I had. The pho is really good! Delicious soup and super flavorful. I ordered flank steak and brisket. The meat has some tendon in it, but the hot soup make it all super good. The rice dish also worth a try, super flavorful meat and has tons of pickled vegetables. If you like picked vegetables as I do, should definitely try it. The rice dish also come with a soup, I think it's made out of white gourd. My mom used to make those when I was a kid, brought back a lot of memories. Definitely suggest this place, and will want to try their bham mi sandwich next time. 5/5 for a cold winter day! read more

Craved vietnamese food so we swung by here on a Saturday morning right when they opened. There was one other table here but the place filled up quickly!! I ordered the bun Bo hue. The broth was great, but the noodles were a little undercooked and the meat on the beef ribs were not tender. It was hard to eat. The service was great. You go up to the counter and order and they give you a number to sit down. Water and drinks are self serve. The place is cute and clean. I'll probably come by and try a different fish. read more

Wagyu Pho $20 Sip Pho $15 (basically pho dac biet meaning all meat special) Egg Roll Vermicelli $14 Boba Tea $5 Likes: -Aesthetic (open, bright interior, covered outdoor patio) -Ordering system (order and pay first then seats are assigned for your party) -Paper towels that I can actually use as a napkin instead of the super cheap ones at most Vietnamese establishments Dislikes: -Parking lot -Communal tables -Pho broth (very light in flavor) -Soup spoon (too small, flimsy, couldn't build a perfect bite) -Cast iron bowls that came with wagyu pho (looks cool but not practical since they were hot to handle) -Vermicelli noodles were overcooked Vedict: I prefer to slurp my pho rather than sip. The amount of broth our party left behind would leave any chef feeling gutted. read more

Y'ALL! I had the absolute loveliest experience here today. I was literally the first person in the restaurant as they opened the door (lol) and the whole staff was so kind. I had no idea what to order and the gentleman at the front walked me through the menu and they even had pictures of what the different meats/options looked like! I went with the wagyu beef pho and an iced matcha tea with boba. Holy literal cow- out comes the most beautiful presentation of pho I have ever seen. It was kind of like a hot pot in that you cook the wagyu beef in the soup yourself. I loved all the spice selections on the table too so you can really get crazy with the heat! The bowl was huge. I ate about half and took the rest home for dinner. The boba matcha was heavenly. The interior space is beautiful and they have a charming patio. No wifi but I just connected to my phone as a hot spot to do some work. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, kind staff! What more can one ask for!? I'll be back! read more

I thought this place was really good, I got the chicken pho and it was extremely flavorful. My partner got the beef rib pho and he enjoyed it as well. The star anise flavor is very strong in the beef pho broth but still good. The crab rangoons were the best ones I've ever had! The chili oil is very good too! The only reason I took a star off was because the service could be a lot better. The staff could be a lot friendly and more helpful but it wasn't a big deal. read more

As far as Bun Bo Hue and Pho goes, Sip Pho is one of my favorite places to come for this. The Bun Bo Hue comes with a big pork rib in it which is the first I've seen for this type of dish! I've also gotten their pho series and it has always been delicious - the meat in the pho is always so tender, the best I've had in my countless bowls of pho I've eaten. Broth is always flavorful and doesn't need any added condiments. Interior is modern, bright, clean, and stylish - love the ambiance here. They also have a small outdoor seating area and parking is very limited in the front with about a handful of spaces. read more

Good, convenient pho and they give you a lot more meat than a lot of places I'm used too. Soup flavor could be bigger, but overall solid choice. You order at the counter and leave your dishes on the table. Love the self serve for extra cilantro, onions, limes and jalapeños. Would go again read more

When I tell you the vibes at this place are immaculate, trust me, they are! BUT... of course there's a but coming... the "but" to this post is that the flavor and authenticity of there pho, while I wish it was spot on, it's just not on par with other pho places around. I ordered the beef combo pho and while all the fixings were there and available, I thought the meat wasn't tender, the pho noodles used were your typical pho noodle experience you would have hope for, which led me to a 3/5 star rating. Aesthetically, this place is bright, vibrant, and inviting. We were seated on the back patio which was spacious for big groups and can seat plenty of patrons. Loved the vibes, the food? Not so much unfortunately :( read more

They first opened at the end of Feb and then went on pandemic shutdown until now Short Rib Vermicilli ($13) I'm sure will blow your grass hat off. Grilled Vietnamese bbq flavors on untraditional cuts of meat, like short ribs, I've been in search of (also avail. at Broth & Basil btw). They kept the marinade the flavors of traditional Viet bbq which is what a lot of us are soughting after - fusion with out the compromise of traditional flavors. At least 5 pieces of short ribs and I say at least because that's all I can count from my picture. There were more buried under. Peekaboo Bugaboo! We're talking like a 12-13 inch plate or so of vermicilli noodles, sprouts, spring mix lettuce, Vietnamese pickled carrots, crushed peanuts AND an egg. Pho rare steak & brisket ($11) Meanwhile, most people are likely gonna post about the Beef Rib ($18) and Waygu ($18 - cz y'know it's Instagram), I'm sticking with the traditional pho and oh, how could I explain.The broth was on the lighter version of bold. The meats are cut ever so slightly thicker and leaner for the brisket and you get oodles of noodles. Like oodles. The rare steak was cooked the broth that came out steaming hot so recommend to order the steak on the side fo sho Shrimp Bao ($7) Shrimp was also so well marinated that it had a caramel color. Less charcoal smokiness; more marinated flavor. The baos were soft; not dense or cold. No skipping on the amount of veggies on the bao itself Boba Drinks (free) the Brown Sugar Boba is my favorite in town for the reason they can make it less sweet upon request. Some other places already premix it or worry about the look of falling sugar more that they can't compromise The boba were the extra fresh and soft. The kind that stick together if you don't drink but fast enough. Mango Tea mango and coffee jelly. Jellies are confirmed to have that bite It's a wide open space and at the moment one of the safest places to dine in inside or on its patio. Temperature checks, limited seating read more

The Lord knows that I've had my share of Pho and trying to find an authentic pho restaurant is tough here in the Austin. There are some darn good places, but nobody has really hit all the check marks for me until now! My wife and I recently got pedicures at our local nail shop. The topic of food came up and we were recommended to Sip Pho as it's "most authentic"according to our local nail peeps. So here we are, driving to downtown Austin in our quest for the best Vietnamese food. After circling the block several times, we finally find a parking spot. Our first clue that this place was going to be great! It was crowded (of course it was lunchtime) but we didn't mind waiting. I ordered the Beef Rib pho and my wife ordered the Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich. She also likes Crab Rangoon so we got that as well. After waiting about 7 minutes, we received our food. OMGeeeeeeeeee! So delicious!!!! The Pho- broth was amazing! Perfectly seasoned and not over salty. Rib was tender and moist. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The Pork Bahn Mi- HUGE!!!! The largest sandwich that I have ever eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant! The meat was perfectly marinated and cooked. The veggies were fresh and had the perfect crunch when biting into it. The bread was amazing as well which is extremely important! And the jalapeños were spicy as they should be. Crab Rangoon- Came out temperature hot and had the best tasting mixture of cream cheese that we've tried. The sauce was mild and very delectable. Sweet and savory. We loaded up on the extra jalapeño, cilantro and onions they had at their refrigerated salad bar. An extra touch for the people who order extra sides for their pho. The employees were cool and they worked hard to clean the tables as soon as people were done to allow more people to sit. I will definitely be back when I'm close to the UT campus. As a matter of fact, I'll make special trips from Georgetown to satisfy my pho cravings often!! #thankyouthursday read more

Sip Pho - Pho Beef Short Rib, Crab Rangoon, Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

We are pho Snobs with a capital "S" and after a long road trip to Austin from San Francisco, our bodies were callin' for a hearty bowl of hot soup. Sip we did, along with a bit more slurps, after an initial "wow" factor first taste. Most pho connoisseurs will know instantly if it's "good" pho at first sip. Flavors need to be balanced, not too salty, not too sweet, but the perfect blend of umami to tingle your tastebuds. Texas pho meat sure hits different. It's tender, soft, and full of flavor. Tendons are soft and melt in your mouth, along with bouncy tripe that compliments the other textures experienced. Tien (sorry if misspelled), the owner, even came over to our table to get to know us after noticing our paparazzi style photos and foodie-nature. She shared many stories about being a restauranteur and Austin-native, along with mentioning how her young daughter stepped in hugely to help the family business during the Texas power outage and snowstorm. This service is top-notch and I will be coming back here every time we are back in Austin! read more

Charming Vietnamese fare near campus, served in a modern but casual environment. Counter service with prompt food delivery, super clean feeling in the place. . I live nearby and have been here more times than I can count, so I can attest to consistently delicious food and great service. We walk over and sit on the back patio fairly often, and it is dog friendly, so our pup is also a big Sip Pho fan. The couple who owns it care very much about your experience and are often there to greet you and make sure everything is to your liking. I recommend trying any of the pho bowls, the freshly made boba tea, or my favorites- the lemongrass beef bao and wonton soup. They do takeout which is always perfectly packaged and also offer UT student discounts. You'll find a lot of students here as well as neighborhood locals. Bustling on the weekend, but never so busy that your order takes too long. Parking can be a bit tricky at times, so I recommend looking a block away and walking if the lot is full. read more

This is a cute spot to grab lunch with friends! The interior is clean and minimalist with nice pops of color in the decor. I had the sip bowl, which is a bowl of pho with all of the meats. It's a large bowl that is big enough for two meals! The broth is less flavorful than I prefer, but it can be fixed with hoisin sauce. I had a taste of my friend's bun bo hue, which was decent. The Viet Coffee was passable, but not sweet enough for my liking. Overall, I think Sip Pho is decent. I've had better pho, but I don't regret coming here. read more

I've come here probably too many times but the location is so convenient close to campus. Even if it wasnt, I would go out of my way to order here. The pho is pretty good but what I mostly come here for is the pork belly bahn mi. It's a huge sandwich and always comes with so much juicy meat! It's one of my favorite bahn mi I've ever had. The taro milk tea is also yummy, I like to get mango or lychee jelly usually. The inside and outdoor seating is very cute, light, and modern.
