Wish I found this Vietnamese restaurant sooner since I've been coming around this area for some time now. I think this is the second location but this is my first time trying this restaurant.
First, the restaurant is small and very clean. They do check temperature and they recommend to sanitize your hand. The menu is your typically Vietnamese cuisine, a little bit smaller than some others I've been too (you can access it online or through a code as well so that they are limiting paper) but what they have is good (they also have kids menu as well, but we ended up sharing with my little one since she eats almost anything).
My mother ordered the Vietnamese plate and I ordered the tofu vermicelli. What I like was all the vegetable is fresh and the meat was not chewy at all. They marinated the meat so it has a delicious taste to it. What I enjoyed the most was the sauce that came with the plate. As I told the waiter it's what makes or breaks Vietnamese restaurant and what makes me come back or not. I love the fish sauce, it added spice and a great flavor making the dishes more enjoyable. The only thing I wasn't so keen on was their egg rolls, however my little girl loved it so it worked out fine.
Overall, the food was delicious and service was good. They are a little slower but it's worth the wait! I will definitely come by again!
So far so good we had the Bahn Mi and Spring rolls and they did not disappoint. The baguette bread was very soft compared to other places. We will try the Pho next time. A word of caution traffic can get pretty crazy as you have to traverse thru the bar/pub.
Update Had the ribeye steak plate and chicken vermicelli. If they would add grilled jalapenos to the ribeye plate it would make it just right.
My Sunday afternoon visit came after a Saturday full of beer drinking and swimming on lake Travis so I was in need of something to balance me out. Upon entering the place was empty. Maybe I was the last of the hungover to show up. I was greeted and told to sit where ever I’d like. The waiter took my order which was the Vietnamese egg rolls and prime rib pho. While waiting I noticed the facility was well kept with modern music playing and contemporary decor. Both dishes came out fairly quick as most pho places do. The Vietnamese egg rolls were good, I wanted to try something different but kind of wished I’d gotten the spring rolls. The pho is nothing short of great, overall this place was very good and I recommend if you’re looking for something to help soothe a hangover. If I could make one suggestion for the owners, changing the spoon in the chili garlic paste on the table and cleaning the top with a towel. The lid was dirty and the spoon was kind of gross.

One of my preferred spots for some quick and delicious Vietnamese when I’m in the area. Everything I’ve had so far was delicious. Quick and kind service makes it ideal for lunch, and quality and portions make it a good value.
Pros:
Pho shack is a great place to not just eat but also have a casual date.
The food is amazing! The staff is friendly and very attentive. The place is always well kept and there is never dirty dishes laying in the tables.
Food portions are in my opinion, extremely generous and there is a wide variety of options in the menu
Cons:
It is a small place and the location could easily be missed unless gps is handy.
Outdoor seating is available but very limited.

The food was amazing. The prices were more than fair as the portions were rather large. Very fresh vegetables. Tomatoes were as red as a rose!! So much flavor was involved, spicy as expected. Very high quality ingredients. My only complaint would be the chairs. They are small, metal framed and for an average sized person, cramped. The entrees were amazing, and the Thai Tea was poured to perfection. Keep up the great work, change the chairs out and the rest should be history! I'll be back, but will opt for a booth if it happens to be unoccupied. A+ in my book!!!
You walk in the door and the wonderful aromas of their food will automatically get your stomach rumbling! The food is amazing! Not much of a selection but thats okay the size of the servings and the taste is worth it! The wait staff is very attentive and provides excellent customer service.
Very good pho restaurant! Vegetarian friendly and I recommend all my vegetarian friends to this place! Will add more pictures as I come by here again! Vegetarian pho is the bomb also we had a plate of tofu veggie fried rice as well and Twas really really good! 💣Come and enjoy and try them out! cheers!
Great food at a decent price. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our family of 8 which consisted of 3 small children were all well taken care of and throughly entertained with the show that was playing on the tv. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Fast take-out service, delicious and generous portions of food. I recommend for someone searching for good Vietnamese Pho.
