Visiting Austin and realize it's hard to find good Vietnamese food around here let alone authentic. So if you're looking for good authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place! This is family run and owned. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive and quick. Good spot to grab a quick bite (especially if you have a sudden craving). Clean inside and can fit large groups. Their signature Bun Bo Hue is very flavorful and not too salty like a lot of other places.
If you ask me which Vietnamese restaurant in Austin I would suggest, my next question would be, “for what dish specifically?” because if you’re wanting some bun bo hue then look no further because it was ON POINT here! Great flavor, portion-size, and value for what you pay. Paired this with some cha gio which was good as well.
The com ga thit nuong? It was good! However, given how great the previous dish was, I desired more here primarily because I was hoping for more of a charcoal, grilled flavor from the meat and didn’t get that. Additionally, I would have liked the opportunity to order broken rice (com tam) instead of the regular white rice I got.
That said, they have a huge menu to choose from, so I’d like to come back sometime and try some of the others!
55c is one of my faves, a crispy rice noodle with beef, chicken shrimp, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and bean sprouts in a garlic sauce. It's a lot of food for what you pay. You will definitely get full off of it! The staff is really nice and they are able to get the food out quickly.
Great pho.lots of meat
Very good flavor and authentic
Thai tea is very small and little expensive.
Hole in the wall joint with lots of people which tell you it's good.
Ordered small pho with rare steak and tripe. Broth a bit on the saltier and greasier side, but still good flavor. Meat quality seems very good, and lots of meat was in the bowl. Noodles are good as well, but got soft towards the end. Pho comes with veggies and sauces are on the table. Portion size for small is good.
Very busy at 12:45 on a Tuesday. All tables full. Tables were pretty clean, would come back!
