Editorial Review for Tam Deli & Cafe – by Josh Hinsdale
In Short
Since 1999, this locally owned Vietnamese café just past Research has maintained a brisk lunch business and a steady stream of cream puffs. The dining room is small with only a handful of tables and some Asian-themed décor, but service is fast and chairs are emptied quickly. The menu features simple and traditional Vietnamese standards like green papaya salad and fresh spring rolls, vermicelli noodle bowls with a variety of meats and steaming bowls of pho. More favorites are the banh mi sandwiches in freshly toasted French rolls with pickled veggies and a variety of meat fillings including grilled pork, pate and garlic butter fried shrimp.

went there for lunch with a friend. We ordered the congee (rice soup), vietnamese sandwich, rice cake with egg over it and cream puff. Overall, the food was good. The sandwich was better than what I had in Houston. It was just the right amount of sauce and meat. The congee was okay. Better than what I had at Golden Wok but it was too watery to be considered a good congee. The location is very very casual. They seem to have a regular crowd of people who come in for lunch. The price is cheap (a lot of the dishes were under $5) but I feel their food was overpriced compared to other similar places. For example, the sandwich was about $4. It should be around $1.5.
Pros: Good Food, Fast service
Cons: Overpriced

My family is "mostly" from Vietnam (some of us are from US, most are from Vitenam) and we've lived in Austin for 5 years. We've eaten at almost all the Vietnamese restaurants in Austin and Tam is the best. Food is traditional and excellent, the place is CLEAN and the prices are reasonable. Try it!
Pros: food quality, food authenticity, price/value
