“I LOVE this place and have been coming here for years. The service is great and everyone is so nice. I have never had a bad experience until today. The tofu I ordered tasted of old oil or something or as if they needed to clean their fryer. I could tell it was flavored well but their was a weird taste of burnt or old oil and it was hard to enjoy it. Still would recommend this place but if King Noodle is reading, please clean your fryer. Love y’all, though! ?“
“I'm super supportive of this Phonatic at Cedar Park. You will find everything very fresh ( especially veggies and meats ), tasty, and with good prices. I've been to this place more than regular for the last six years. Even compared to the other Phonatic branches in Austin, this place has been the best from my experience. Highly recommended.“

“I’m not a big crybaby like Brian Townley, who complained about the wait.. Mr. Jimmy is an amazing person and the best Vietnamese chef in town! I just wished he had more staff but he said it’s been hard to hire good help. B’s kitchen is amazing- authentic and serves delicious Vietnamese food. Best banh mi in town!!“
“Delicious and plenty of vegan options in a Vietnamese style. Located in the back of the buildings, it was being run by the looks of two people. Food was delicious and the wait wasn't long. Would come again!Dietary restrictions: Vegan as well“
“The service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We got the durian sugar cane drink that was so good that we ordered another to go. Banh mi and crab glass noodles were good. They gave us little coconut almond cookies for dessert. We also ordered the coffee and pandan jello and it was soooo worth it!“
“I recently moved into the area a few months ago and found this place not to far from my house. They do trivia every Thursday and it has become our households biweekly activity. I absolutely enjoy the atmosphere and how delicious all of their food is. The view tex martini is my number one order and well worth the price. I am looking forward to their new menu coming out in a few days and hope they don't get rid of the viet tex martini.“
“Best Asian restaurant in the Austin area hands down. I have been to this restaurant over a dozen times. If I lived closer, there is no doubt that I would go even more often. Growing up in Houston, I was spoiled with a plethora of Asian options throughout Chinatown. Despite Austin being severely lacking when it comes to Asian options, Tan My is up there with the best options in Houston. It's flat rice noodles stir-fried might actually be the best that I have ever had. You can really taste the wok in the dish. You would be really hard pressed to find a place that does it better. The fact that it remains open after decades is a testament to its quality and taste.“
“Most people think of pho or banh mi for Vietnamese food. I'm a fanatic for bun, and the bun here is so much better than I've had in any other Vietnamese restaurant so far. It's not even close. I ordered the bun with garlic butter prawns (something I haven't seen as an option for bun anywhere else) and I added egg rolls. The variety and quantity of added veggies (cucumber, carrots, sprouts, mint, radishes) is unmatched by other restaurants I've tried so far.“
“It may look like a random restaurant at a pit stop, but Saigon is our favorite Asian joint in the Austin area. We make a 30 minute trip just for it.It's small, family run and the food is just delicious.Steamed pork dumplings are so perfectly airy and balanced it's ridiculous.Owners are sweet and kind and put a lot of effort to assure you enjoy your meal.“
“I can't decide which wad better, the food or the service. We were feeling a bit Phoish and attempted to oder online but unfortunately there seems to be a technical issue and the menu is askew. I attached pictures of it so that you dont have the same problem.(YOUR welcome) If you are feeling like Pho you need not look any further. PUT DOWN YOUR MOUSE OR PHONE AND GET YOUR BOTTEM OVER THERE ASAP. The food is delish and the service feels like grandma's house. After tonight my family is officially becoming regulars at this little gem ? ✨️ ?“
“This establishment has excellent Vietnamese noodles, tofu pudding dessert, soy milk, and ready to eat dishes.This is a self service restaurant. Order at the counter and find a seat in one of the handful of tables. Pick up the food from the counter.Dining atmosphere is completely absent. The place is very small and more suitable for takeouts than dining in. Environment is cluttered with boxes and restaurant supplies that don’t belong in a dining room.“
“To me, this is the absolute best of Vietnamese cuisine. Ever since they closed their 183 location, we'd been on the hunt for another Vietnamese restaurant that could match it and failed many, many times. They are back and even better now! Their vermicelli bowls are second to none! We get the grilled pork with Vietnamese imperial rolls almost every time as it's so good, healthy, and the portion size is amazingly big. I've added a new staple to it and just can't decide between the two sometimes, so I'll just get both and take some home: the Sunflower Prawns. These are enormous tiger prawns and come on a bed of garlic noodles that surprised us in how amazing it is. The noodles are so good, I wish they were their own menu item. I'd order a side of them every time. Needless to say, we'll be coming back often.Hint: the charbroiled pork on the vermicelli bowl is great, but sometimes they don't char it at all. Mention to the waiter that you want extra char on it if you like that.“
“while it wasn’t the loudest or cutest place, the food was DELICIOUS. i ordered the tofu pho and would highly recommend it. i don’t live near the area, but if i come back around here i’ll definitely come again. they also had really polite staff and tv in the “
“Super fast, friendly, delicious, and it is like they are choreographed when I come in. They know just where I prefer to sit, that I need a fork for my pho noodles, extra bean sprouts/cilantro/thai basil, ice water, a bag when I'm done. They notice if I am not there once a week, and take their time getting to know me. They make people feel special, and are always warm and welcoming. It has been a joy getting to know Thach, Nick, Hal, and An.“
“Saigon 512 truly exceeded our expectations! The restaurant's decoration creates a delightful atmosphere, enhancing the dining experience. Our family of 5 was promptly served with our order of 4 dishes, impressively quick service without compromising quality. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, perfectly tailored to our tastes, leaving us craving more. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, guiding us through their diverse menu and suggesting must-try dishes. With such a wide array of delicious options, we're already planning our return to explore more of Saigon 512's offerings. Without hesitation, we highly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience!“
“Great neighborhood spot! Love all the soups and service here! I also enjoy the matcha drinks :) Friendly suggestion, The last few times I ordered the vegan pho, the broccoli tasted like soggy frozen broccoli. I know it may costs more, but fresh vegetables make a big difference. Hope you can consider this ?? “
“Really enjoyed my bowl of pho with steak and brisket. Broth seemed legit. Noodles were in a clump so had to get them separated and let them soften more, which I've not previously had to do with pho. Customize with however much basil, jalapenos, bean sprouts, cilantro, hoisin and chili sauce to get the flavor profile you like. So good! My husband enjoyed his banh mi as well. We shared a bowl of steamed broccoli and carrots on the side and tossed those with his extra sauce to flavor them. We'll be back!“
“I love it here ! Cute corner shop that has lots of yummy vegetarian/vegan options as well. Local spot that's conveniently located; one of my new favorites !Vegetarian options: Labeled vegetarian section, appetizers available as well.Dietary restrictions: Good for pescetarians, vegetarians, vegans, etc.Kid-friendliness: Good food for the whole family!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access and open table seating“
“Great bahn mi - reasonable sizes, pretty well filled and freshly prepared at a good price point! I’ve had 5 or 6 different options and really like the house special and pork roll. They no longer take credit card, but do take cash and Venmo.“
“One of the best Pho in Texas, the vegetarian pho is also super good. This place is a little hidden gem,clean and simple. The servers are super friendly and attentive with our needs having a small toddler. I super recommend this place. The Pho broth is super rich, and so is the vegetarian broth. I highly recommend this place, they give you good portions at affordable prices, and the Vietnamese lemon roast beef is super good. I recommend the place. ????“
“Odd little place but this is definitely the BEST Phó I’ve had in Texas in the last 8 years. Some of the items are overpriced in my opinion. The Phó is reasonable.I would suggest cleaning the bathroom, it’s dirty. The light switch had dirty marks all over it, the rest of the bathroom is dark tones so it’s difficult to see the dirt.“
“I have eaten here probably 20 times even though I live 4 hours from here. I make a special stop off of I37 and try to time Austin for when I will be hungry. I get the chicken Banh Mi usually although sometimes Grilled Beef. It is always excellent. The sandwich is the perfect size. If I ate like this every day I would lose a little weight, but only very slowly. Its a great lunch or dinner. A child of mine would eat it for breakfast. Given the prices of less than $7 it is also one of the more economical places. I have only had the Banh Mi.“

“Came here for my first time I will definitely be coming back and try something different. I came here for lunch I thought it was a good price for the amount of food you get for on person and it was good! Dylan was very nice made the experience very pleasant!“
“Loved their Pho! There are plenty of options on how to customize your Pho for anyone craving a specific blend. We had our food within minutes of ordering. You could tell it was a local favorite by how people came and went. I just wished their restrooms were a bit cleaner and stocked.Parking: The parking lot for the strip has narrow lanes. I would recommend parking in a spot that has open spaces next to your car and hope no one parks next to you. Check your car for any dings/dents before leaving if someone does park next to you or vice-versa.“
“Awesome restaurant! The staff is so incredibly kind and friendly, they loveto chat are are clearly passionate about cooking. I got the Orange Chicken and I have to say their portions are incredible for the price, to the point that I barely finished half and am looking forward to delicious leftover.100% would recommend, the surrounding businesses are questionable but this place is a diamond in the rough!!“
“My family wanted some delicious Pho, and since we have eaten here before, this time was carryout. I believe I may have met another family's as well. The father, daughter, and son.. I was greeted kindly , the food was ready, and the son helped me carry to my vehicle since I'm disabled. We all shared, and the food was delicious! I will definitely dine I'm or carry out again.. thank you for the helpVegetarian options: Veggies everywhere.. just combine and your good.“
“BY FAR my favorite restaurant for pho!! A little expensive sometimes but always worth it! I have been going here for about 3 years now and they do not fail me ever!There was one recent hiccup and I feel bad for how I reacted but I still really love this place and still have their shirt from 3 years ago (I dont think they sell them anymore sadly). I will definitely stay loyal to them for special occasion Pho though!Parking: Parking is usually pretty open honestly, I havent gone on a Friday night in a long time but the dinner hour on Fridays and Saturdays are usually the busiest I remember!“
“This small Vietnamese restaurant being right next to H-mart is easily missed due to it being in the shadow of a giant but the food here is very good. Authentic flavors and lots of flavor. The interior is small so don't expect to dine in with more than 4 people but their banh mi is great as a take out. There was a jalapeño in there which did catch me by surprise (it was at the ends of the sub). The pork had a really nice subtle sweet marinate which went really well with the cucumbers and carrots! The bun is toasted as your order is made so no need to worry for soggy buns either!“
“THE FOOD IS AMAZING.! My husband and I have been coming here for years.! The owners are very friendly and always know what we’re going to get before we can even sit down. Come check them out and I PROMISE YOU WONT REGRET IT.! Worth 5 stars for sure.!!!“
“Wow, this pho restaurant is a gem! The first thing I will comment on is the speed of our food. We ordered and were able to get our food in under 10 minutes, the staff was very kind and helped us out. The pho is really, really good but the stand out dish to us was their chicken rice! It was delicious. I wish I knew how they seasoned it because it is super yummy. Overall, we will be back. Ambiance wise, the place is clean so you don't have to worry and they seem to genuinely care about the restaurant. Thank you for a great experience!“
“Solid Asian food all around.We shared the following:- Hamachi Lover Roll- Rainbow Roll- Chicken Lo MeinThe chicken lo mein was so good we ordered some to go. We'll be coming back late from the eclipse festival and that's way better than getting fast food.I may come back tomorrow!“
“This togo place is great. We order Thai Curry Fried rice with Tofu every other week with Cream Puffs. It tastes really good and tastes the same every single time. Cant go wrong with this dish. Staff is reasonably welcoming and super quick in delivering food.Vegetarian options: Thai Curry Fried rice“
“Was hesitant at first about going for dinner. But, I'm so glad we did!! The service was great‼️ Thank you Bao and other servers for a great first experience!! The food was delicious!! The atmosphere was clean,comfortable, and enjoyable!! I had the Vermicelli bowl with pork and chicken (love the veggies in it) and had the Vietnamese egg rolls ? I will be going back again and again!! A plus for me, the owner lives in RR, nice to support our local owners!! This is a must try place. You won't be disappointed!! Just a note..If you like a quiet atmosphere go on Mon-Thurs...Fri-Sun may be more crowded and family oriented fun!!“
“Nice no-fanfare spot with homely, fresh, delicious food, and priced right. There are tons of options on their vast menu for vegans, vegetarians and non-veg folks alike, and you can get chili oil on the side if you need some more spice in your food. We’ll be back for fuss-free fresh food on days we don’t feel like cooking at home!“
“Visited from Florida and came across this gem. The most authentic food (I have visited VERY good vietnamese places). The cutest owners also! Please support these folks. Hands down the best Vietnamese place in Austin.Parking: Visited from Florida and came across this gem. The most authentic food (I have visited VERY good vietnamese places). The cutest owners also!

“I ordered the vegetable pho and vegetable spring rolls. My pho bowl was loaded!!! Definitely worth the $13!. However, the spring rolls only had lettuce, noodles and tofu in it. I was expecting more veggies in the roll minus the noodles. You have to ask for the fish sauce. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere was clean and relaxing. I will definitely go back!!!“
“This is the best pho you can get in cedar park hands down. Ironically, also the cheapest in surrounding areas. It's hard to find decent pho in Central Texas. In Houston, it's everywhere. Their other food is good as well. I chose this as my last meal before I gave birth if that tells you anything.Parking: If the shopping center is busy it's difficult to find parking.“
