I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. 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.

The restaurant is clean, no weird odor, with plenty of seating. The pho arrived to the table. A big bowl of hot soup filled with fresh vegetables. Savory rich broth, whew! You can't get any better than that. The whole meal was delicious! The vegetables were so crisp and cooked to perfection. I didn't get a soup spoon to drink the broth, but had to drink it like cereal from a bowl. The tofu was tasty as well. Very yummy. It tasted like it was Houston quality, but I had forgotten for a second that I was in South Austin. This restaurant did not disappoint!

As someone who grew up eating Vietnamese food and has bánh mì often, I wouldn't say it's one of the best I've had. However, it came with all the traditional Vietnamese cold cuts and garnishes you'd expect, and it definitely hit the spot when I didn't want to make the drive up north. I always ordered mine with extra pâté, which increased the price quite a bit, but was worth it for the extra richness and flavor. I also decided to try their ramen once, and it wasn't bad either. Overall, Saigon on 7th is a convenient option when you're in the area and craving Vietnamese bánh mì.

But it also has egg and scallions and pate; overall the combo is satisfying. Separate from takeout, we decided to go for an early dinner. Their Crab Vermicelli Stir Fry is surprisingly sweet, with sweetness as a prominent flavor. It features plenty of crab bits. I also grabbed a Skillet Combo. It came with two runny side up eggs, pate, two types of cured pork, beef gravy, and a handful of cilantro. The baguette came on the side, as did the mixed salad of lettuce and tomato. The salad had some dried shrimp, fish sauce, and a slightly sweet dressing. The restaurant itself is located in the Chinatown Center on N Lamar. It's a small corner shop. Lots of mirrors and glass. The staff are friendly enough. Unfortunately, they've closed, and it looks like another restaurant will be opening up in its place. The situation leaves me unsure about where to go to satisfy savory sticky rice cravings.

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.

This was my first time having vermicelli with fried egg, but I liked it. The meat tasted like teriyaki beef jerky which I was fine with.The portions were pretty big too, so I had a good amount of leftovers to take home. They have a little sauce bar in case you need extra fish sauce like I usually do. My friends had no complaints about their food and thought it was decent! Sip Pho was good but nothing special in my opinion. I'd probably skip this spot next time I'm in Austin.

I've been to this place many times and every time, I love it!…read more First of all, I just love coming here the seating and the space is so relaxing and such a perfect place to eat and talk. And honestly it's better than any fancy restaurant out there. I love the amount of plants in the space and the TV plays cooking videos and it's so nice to watch while waiting for your food! Speaking of waiting for your food, the food comes out super quick! Within 1 minute of ordering my drink, it came out! And a couple minutes after follows the food. The service is amazing as well, the servers are super sweet and are very quick to serve you and get what you need. The menu offers a bunch of things, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and the drinks! I love how the desserts and drinks are also Vietnamese (most of the time I notice restaurants tend to have the basic selection of fountain drinks and desserts, but this restaurant has a wide variety of drinks and desserts so you can try something new every time you come here!) Most of all, there's a bunch of vegan dishes which I absolutely love. The food is always delicious I've been trying the vegan dishes recently and I love them a lot (as someone who doesn't like vegan dishes normally)! The chicken pho is also so delicious it tastes better than I make it at home! So much flavor. The drinks are so good as well. They also give you a big portion and I normally have leftovers, but the portion size is amazing for the price that you pay. It's definitely more affordable and such a bang for your buck. This is definitely a spot to try and trust me, you'll probably fall in love! If I was an Austin tourist I would definitely hit up this restaurant. I could go on and on about this restaurant.

We came in August 30th, around 8PM, nothing really out of the norm, ordered our food, I had gotten the (Bo Luc Lac) or shaking beef, and my wife got the spicy beef and lemongrass soup with noodles as usual. The Shaking beef was inedible, absolutely horrible, I'm not sure what cut of beef is used but it was almost like chewing on a steel toe boot, or perhaps a car tire. Spat it out within moments and sent it back, and got it removed from the tab with the server apologizing nonstop, which of course isn't her fault. 5 minutes later, my wife stares at the bowl like she just had a heart attack, and I glance over, and of course, a dead ROACH. Somehow was in the food, and it didn't float up to the top until HALFWAY she was finished eating. Absolutely vile, I cannot comprehend how a roach even got in there, was it already in the big pot of soup they use for other people's orders? Was it alive in our bowl and the steaming hot broth was poured on top and killed it? Safe to say, we didn't make a massive scene; alerted the server, she promptly got the bowl from us, and we didn't need to touch the tab for obvious reasons. The only issue is I would've loved to have spoken to a manager because this is a major health hazard, and roaches can carry E. Coli and Salmonella... I tipped our server cash regardless of the outcome of the food since this wasn't her fault and she did well in taking care of us, but we will never be back, and I suggest everyone reading this review to go elsewhere. A Cockroach in a restaurant bowl of food for a guest? Imagine how many other guests ATE their food without ever seeing one, or if it was in the massive pot how many guests ate orders without realizing there was a roach being boiled in their food. STAY. AWAY. Just disgusting.
