NOPE!

by veggielaura at Citysearch

don't do it, this place is terrible!! we stopped in for the vietnamese iced coffee - which was great, and decided to stay for the food. BAD idea!! i didn't know vietnamese could be so bad!! it seems fairly simple to make - my italian husband makes great bunh. but this place was not good. the spring rolls were basically noodles and iceberg lettuce. and the bunh was basically the same with added fish sauce. the service was terrible. i don't think anyone working there is over 16.

don't do it!!!!! go to sunflower instead.

Watch out for string in your pho

by jcaustin at Citysearch

I ordered a large chicken pho. As I was eating it, I chewed on a piece of string 3-4 inches long. I almost swallowed it. The restaurant did comp me for my soup. But I am not going back again.

Best pho restaurant in Austin

by dirtywest at Citysearch

This is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Austin. Every dish I've tried has been significantly better than any other Vietnames restaurant in town. The broth in all of the noodle soups is tasty and hot. The noodles are fresh. Each dish is served with an ample amount of fresh veggies and herbs. The staff are friendly, and the seating is prompt. Sometimes the place gets really busy during lunch, but that doesn't prevent the kitchen from turning out the food quickly without sacrificing quality.

• Pros: great food, best pho in town, prompt seating
• Cons: none
