If anyone around UT is seeking quality pho, I'll for sure suggest Sip Pho. Especially if you have a UT ID, 10% off discount! This place is almost always busy! There are some parking spots in the front and more in the back, but sometimes it still takes a bit of time to get a spot. There are many indoor seats and several outdoor tables in the back. The staff is friendly, helps introduce the menu, and is proactive about dietary restrictions. Vegetarian and vegan options are available! We came for lunch on a weekday, and about half of the indoor seats were occupied. Bun Bo Hue is a classic dish. The amount of meat in this dish is very satisfying. In addition to the beef rib, there are also meatballs, ham, and beef slices. The beef slices are added to the bowl raw and cooked when the boiling hot broth is added, so by the time the dish is at your table, the beef slices are still very tender! The broth is just spicy enough for an extra kick for the flavor. The second item we ordered may not be listed on the standard menu, but it is available! I asked for eggroll vermicelli. Vermicelli and fresh veggies with fish sauce are very appetizing on a hot summer day. As a Taiwanese person, I especially enjoy the pickled cabbage. The sweet and sour taste is very authentic; just a small bite sends me right back home. The self-serve topping bar provides lime slices, cilantro, jalapeno, and red onion for anyone wanting extra flavors. I'm a huge fan of the dishes I've tried, but also very much looking forward to coming back to try different items! read more

Ordered the beef Pho with Tendon and Rare steak the soup was alright and wasn't amazing. I did not like the rare beef. 2/5 The coffee with boba was very good and quite strong. I do feel like they skimped on the cheese foam. 4/5 read more

I was there yesterday, October 14th, 2025. I ordered hot tea. The pot was 1/3 full. When I asked for more hot water, when the waitress returned with the pot she said that this time the water was free, but for next time I'll have to pay for it. When I looked at the pot, it had about 1/2" of water. If you spend $30 on a meal, at least a full tea pot is expected. Very disappointed of the terrible customer service and the attitude. read more

Sip Pho - Beef brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

MUST TRY PHO IN ATX!!! This is my go-to Pho spot in Austin. They have multiple beef , seafood , and vegan options for their Pho. I recommend the Sip Bowl which includes a combination of all beef proteins. The Broth is why I keep coming back, it's simple but super flavorful you can actually taste each ingredient with each sip. Never too salty or bland, it's perfect everytime It's always busy but the service is quick and everyone their is super cool Once you have your spot either inside or in the patio section, they provide water pitcher to take with you. They also have Ban Mi and Boba. The Grilled Lemongrass Beef Ban Mi and the Boba Brûlée are the stars of the show. Sometimes there's a line but I never waited more than 20 min even at their busiest days. There's not much parking so I would recommend to park on a street near by and walk or if you coming from campus the 1, 30, 481 and 3 buses stop like a min. away from sip pho. The building itself has a simple, clean, and calm design with a tall ceiling and large windows that bring a lot of natural light. A cool contrast to the other buildings around the area. Cool Facts: If you show your UT ID you can get a discount and every year for Sip Pho's anniversary 100% of their proceeds from their special menu items are donated to a local charity read more

This is my favorite spot around UT (discount with UT ID!) They do have a small lot in front and behind the restaurant, so they always a plus. Plenty of denting indoors, as well as a covered outdoor patio. The staff is always very welcoming. There was a mix up with my order and the server insisted on making sure it was right with the kitchen! They always have really great portion sizes. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian friendly options. I love their table set up, all do your utensils, napkins, hand sanitizer right within arms reach! I had the rice bowl with tofu and the tofu bao. Delicious!! read more

After a long, chilly night of drinks, my boyfriend and I were craving something warm, nutritious, and flavorful, so we walked to Sip Pho--and it did not disappoint. Ordering at the front was super easy, and the staff was exceptionally kind. Seriously, their 10/10 service stood out. I also loved that they offered a UT discount (go Longhorns!) and even have a military discount. We ordered the beef pho and wagyu pho, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced--not too sweet or too heavy on one spice, which can sometimes happen with pho. It was warm, hearty, and left me feeling full and satisfied. To top it off, I grabbed a Vietnamese iced coffee. It was super strong, which I personally loved, but it was a little intense for my boyfriend. The adorable cup it came in totally made up for it, though--I loved it so much I took it home, washed it, and kept it! The restaurant itself was stunning, beautifully decorated with lots of natural sunlight streaming in. It was cozy and inviting, although the seating can be a little tight, especially with a full house (and it was definitely packed when we visited). Overall, Sip Pho is a must-visit! Amazing service, incredible pho, and a wonderful atmosphere--it's the perfect spot to warm up and enjoy a flavorful meal. read more

Best pho in Austin! I have avoided coming here after seeing the long line every time I drive by, but finally decided it was probably worth the wait. The line was out the door, but it only took us about 15-20 minutes to order and the server seated us immediately after we ordered. The tables inside are cafeteria-style but they provide some divisors to give you more privacy. Our food and drinks arrived very quickly and we were blown away by the quality of the pho! I ordered the beef broth pho with tenderloin and brisket and it was absolutely delicious. The broth is not overly greasy and packed with flavor. They also give you a ton of the traditional toppings, so you have a fragrant bowl of veggies with your noodles and meat. I also got the matcha green thai tea and was so impressed by how soft and chewy the boba was. It tasted like it was freshly made. Also worth mentioning that they provide a discount to UT students, faculty, and staff! Great spot! read more

Sip Pho - Rare steak and brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

There was a line out the door and around the building when I went. My friend and I both agreed we would not stand in that line again and really wouldn't even go back again anyways. I got the wagyu pho which was mediocre. The broth was bland. It wasn't horrible, but there's much better pho in Austin. Aside from the food, The place was clean with plenty of seating, and servers were quick. Parking was awful- they have a small section behind the building. The brown milk brûlée boba and matcha drinks were absolutely delightful! Lots of students are there so it can be loud and packed, not ideal for dates or a quick bite. read more

I really liked the feel of the architecture, especially the back patio, it feels breezy yet really urban. The food was decent, I got Bahn Mi, and my friend got Pho, but even more fun was their great selection of Boba . I got Passionfruit with Lychee, so fun and so good! The staff were busy yet accommodating too, like when I asked if I could leave my car in their free parking while we went to hang at Tweedy's, they said sure-so great not to have to worry about it! And the little details like the cute name bead safety pins on their Carhart inspired aprons made their outfits super charming! Like I remember Madeline, Amy, and Ryan's beaded names! Very adorable place: chic and minimalist, but charming read more

The food: I'm a sucker for a fancy drink and boba most of all. $6 is the perfect price point to hook me every time. I usually get a Thai tea at most places but the passionfruit tea with lychee jelly was the perfect counterpoint to the salty, savory pho. I got the Beef Pho and it was just what I needed while trying to kick a cough and stuffy nose. Can't wait to try the Banh mi next time. The vibe: minimalistic coffee house but make it pho. Loved the communal tables which was perfect for our coworker lunch. There were plants everywhere and natural light all around. I felt like I was in a garden rather than inside. Many apologies to the plant I brushed up against and broke the frond on. I have faith you will thrive and we will laugh about this later. The patio looks very inviting as well. The service: The staff we helpful and so efficient in getting food out. Their payment service was down but they had signage everywhere that cash and Venmo would be accepted. Even had QR codes posted while you were in line so you could get prepared. read more

I got the tendon and meatball pho. Overall good, the broth was a little too oily for me and felt I needed to wipe my mouth after a sip but still good if you were in the area and were craving pho. Was visiting Austin and wanted to try pho/Vietnamese food here. Prices were pretty average but on the more expensive side but still reasonable Overall, if I found myself close by I'd come back read more

The Beef Pho with Brisket and Flank was packed with rich beef flavor and perfectly cooked noodles. The food comes out really fast, making it ideal for a quick yet comforting meal. They also offer a 10% student discount for UT Austin students (this spot is really popular within the UT community!). The interior is beautifully designed and creates an aesthetic vibe that elevates the dining experience. A great spot for both food and ambiance! read more

Overall highly recommend ! read more

We were hungry for Pho and decided to give this place a try because we were in the area. It's located in the old Ruby's BBQ building near the UT campus. My hubby and I both had the pho with rare beef and meatballs. The soup came piping hot and had plenty of meat and noodles. Like other pho restaurants the soup is served with bean sprouts, jalapeños, Thai basil, and lime on the side. They also have a side bar where you can help yourself to additional onion, jalapeños (both pickled and fresh), and cilantro. You order at the counter but the food is brought to you at the table. Overall, we really enjoyed the restaurant and the food. read more

The broth is delicious along with all the option choices. Pho Beef Rib is super tasty and so is the Pho Wagyu (although not necessarily high grade) is very delicious. The Pho Wonton Works has the right combination of pork-shrimp wontons, with add'l shrimp and chicken. The egg rolls are crispy and satisfies my crunchy craving. The Bahn mi tastes great BUT fails at the bread being toasty and soft despite asking for it to be extra crispy. Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4.5 Definitely in our weekly rotation! read more

What!? How did I not know about this place!! They even give a UT discount. If it wasn't a little far, I would probably go weekly. The banh mi pork sandwich was delicious, savory and fresh. It was filling and memorable. My colleague also got a banh mi sandwich and said he goes quite often and catches any bus north from campus. The walk isn't bad either, you just need like 15 minutes depending on where you are returning to on campus. Lastly, the restaurant itself is beautiful. There is enough room for a big party but I would call ahead because I'm not sure if they do reservations. I highly recommend for your next lunch outing! read more

Every time a colleague mentions their favorite pho place, I counter with Sip Pho. This place is one you must get to early (at 11am) in order to get a seat when it's 90º or above because the outdoor seating will make you sweat! I have ordered the pork belly banh mi, the chicken pho, variations of the beef pho and the crab rangoons. All of these are perfect! The staff is super nice and even though they're not table service, they sometimes will come and check on you. I love the side dish bar where I can load up on limes and cilantro. The building is beautiful and so are the many moments I have shared here. You've gotta check it out! read more

I don't have pho often but I appreciate it. Sip Pho has a super cute vibe to it The boba came out warm and was the perfect amount of sweetness. They were also perfectly jelly-like, not too hard or too soft, they clearly mastered it. It was so pretty I almost didn't wanna drink it and just admire it but yall know I'm a boba fiend so I shlurped it up real quick. I got the rare beef tenderloin pho and it was served with rice noodles and a side of bean sprouts, jalapeños, basil, scallions, cilantro, and onions. I added everything except the basil and squeezed some lime in it as well. read more

I had the beef broth pho with brisket and rare steak, it was the best pho I've ever had! The broth cooked the steak and made it perfect.

The inside of the restaurant is so cozy read more

On a Tuesday night, I arrived about an hour or so before close and it was busy!!! Nearly every seat in the house was taken. In order to sit down, you must order at the counter and they'll tell you where you're sitting once you've order. It's near UT Austin (not sure if they're affiliated) but it seems mostly occupied by students and then some non-students. I ordered a Sip Pho bowl, Vietnamese iced coffee, and a to-go order of the beef banh mi. The pho was delicious. It was exactly what I needed. The broth was light but filling and the meats were perfect in size and texture. I added sriracha and hoisin sauce but the broth holds its own without it. Vietnamese iced coffee always hits the spot! Idk if the banh mi would've been better there but I did not like it at all. The bread was really good but I felt like everything else was bland or okay tasting. I believe it was supposed to be lemongrass beef but I could barely taste it. The pickled carrots were okay and it didn't seem like there was any sort of sauce or mayo. I don't know if I'd order banh mi from here again but I would absolutely come back for the pho and I would love to try the bun bo hue. read more
