888 Vietnamese Restaurant Austin

The food here is sooooo tasty. The first time I came was in mid October. I had general Tso's tofu, tofu springrolls, and wonton soup. Everything but the wonton soup was delicious, even then the broth was very good, but the wontons had a fishiness that I think was beyond normal. The general tso's tofu was one of the best I have had of that dish. There was a lot of food, I had brought my own container to go, I had enough leftovers to eat two more times. As for the service, it is really hit or miss for me, when I walked in no one came so I wasn't sure what the protocol is here, so I went to the counter, the person who I asked about seating was not kind, and when I asked about sitting outside they told me I had to order to go. I guess those tables out there are not theirs...or something, his response about it was very harsh. I wound up sitting inside and the person who took care of my order was super sweet and attentive. I almost left after the counter experience, but I am glad I stayed. The next time I came (at the end of October) I ordered tofu and veggie pho. It was verrrrry good. The person who took care of my order was ok. I will definitely come back. I would probably be going back more if the service was kind and consistent, at this point I get anxiety about going, so it will be a while before I return. But the food is so amazing. Also, I don't know who posts the menu on behalf of their business (the one that is posted by the restaurant itself) but that must be an outdated digital file. The prices are better reflected in the paper menus that people have posted. If you're thinking of going, gooooooo. It is so good. The service will probably be great for you, it is worth the risk. There are a lot of workers, and they are just humans, we all have our days, so I try not to complain about service, but I wanted to be honest.
