"Came Christmas Eve because they were one of a select few places that were open in the area and I was craving some Vietnamese food.Came in and told them I wanted ordered to go so they gave me a menu and I ordered the grilled pork rice dish. They said it would be 15ish minutes so I said I would be back as I walked around the Chinatown plaza.Food was ready when I got back and the food was delicious and lots of it too! Will definitely be back as they have an extensive menu."
"Best Chinese noodles in Austin! Hole in the wall type of vibe but the service is great. It's usually always busy so I like ordering my noodles to go. They usually give a larger serving for to go"

"We came on a Friday evening around 8 PM--wasn't super busy. The space is smaller, but my party of five still sat comfortably. Would love to have given this restaurant five stars, however the service here was not very good. We were seated very quickly, but our table was not approached for almost ten minutes. Aside from our food being brought to us, we did not receive any attention whatsoever by a server--no one to ask us how we were enjoying our meal, no one to pick up our empty dishes to clear out the table, etc. it was very disappointing. The plus side was the food was wonderful. I had an Alaska Roll and the Tonkatsu Ramen. I loved both of my dishes. They tasted fresh, the pork in my ramen was so tender and the broth was so flavorful. I highly recommend it. The restaurant's all-day Happy Hour items are great--there are a variety of different sushi rolls listed at a very cheap price. Would definitely be back for the food, and hopefully those serving will be more attentive during the meal rather than just when we're getting ready to cash out."
"Thai Spoon has been one of my favorite Pad Thai spots for a few years now. I have actually not tried anything other than their Pad Thai and mango with sticky rice.The mango with sticky rice is delicious every single time and up until the last few visits their Pad Thai has been off the chain. Unfortunately, the spice level has not been delivering the proper heat. I always order the Thai hot spice level and I even top it off with a little Sriracha. When I received my first wimpy spiced noodles, I thought maybe it was just an ordering mistake but it's happened about three times now. I'm not sure what's changed, but because of this it just is not my favorite spot anymore."
"If you follow Texas BBQ you will see that this is the most inexpensive way to have a dino rib. The beef rib pho is heaven on earth and the meat portion is huge (see pics). The bao bun sliders and vegan egg rolls were a delicious addition to our meal. I was super impressed with the pho. That beef rib was tender and delicious. The service was freindly and efficient and the food was very delicious. I love this area and there are many decent restaurants to enjoy. I would definitely return."
"I LOVE this place, my whole family does. They have one of the best wonton noodle soups in town with reasonable price and quick service. We order takeout and it was super fast, they can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. A tip is, it's cheaper to call in and buy the roasted meat by weight rather than ordering a meal. We usually order their char siu and roasted duck separately, then eat with anything we like at home."
"Amazing food, great price, quick service, cool spot.Definitely recommend!Cant go wrong with anything on the menu so go crazy."
"Wow. Husband and I tried this place on a whim when we wanted to try something new and was in the area. Got there around 6ish, small 10 min wait. When we left? Like an hour wait. Glad we got there early!I'm a vegetarian, and they only have one vegetarian option but holy MOLY is it delicious. Fried tofu, egg, spinach, onions, peppers, and spinach noodles. It was SO good. Got it with a side of edamame and a hot chocolate (cuz it was cold outside). Everything was delicious! Husband got their most popular ramen. I can't remember the name but it's the first ramen listed in the menu. I can see why this place is so popular. Can definitely see myself returning!"
"On a Friday, I arrived around 5 PM, and there was no line. The service was nice and timely.P08. Eye Round Steak, Flank, Meatballs - $15 (4.5/5)The portion is generous, and the soup is light yet flavorful. For pho, you can upgrade to a large for an additional $2.50.A02. Shrimp Spring Rolls - $6 (3/5)There's a good amount of shrimp, and the peanut sauce is sweet and well-balanced. I even dipped my eye round steak in it, and it tasted great! However, the rice paper was a bit hard. This is my second time ordering it, and both times, the rice paper was tough.This place is bright and clean. It's a super popular pho spot, and there can be a line during peak hours on weekends."
"Food: crab rangoons were nice and hot but something about the wonton wrapper didn't taste fresh. The filling was good. The spicy chicken was great, good seasoning, and I love that it didn't have any bones so it was very easy to eat. Salt and pepper shrimp was big in size but lacking a little bit of salt. Mapo tofu could be spicier but the flavor was good. I will definitely be coming back, our waiter was also very attentive and kind."
"Nice little steam bun Korean type food that was very delicious. I lived in the neighborhood for a while and have came back a few times. They also have Boba so that's a good thing as well. Everything's fresh and made the order. I've never had a bad meal here so definitely would try it out"

I drive 45 minutes from Jonestown just for the Bun Thit Nuong. The flavor of the grilled pork is spot on and delicious. The service is always quick and helpful. Restaurant is very clean. Pho Saigon is where I take friends and family from out of town who crave the true flavors of Vietnam. They will continue to be on 'My Keepers List'.

Really great noodle and dumpling place that's reasonably priced! Great for large groups! You pay for your food first and then they bring the food to you. The water and utensils are self serve. Overall a great place to catch up and can have boba/dessert next door to continue the hangout :) Beef noodle soup is always great. We also get the leek dumplings and the wrapper is the thicc kind so don't get it if you don't like carbs. They also serve it with vinegar which is nice!

My boyfriend and I didn't want to cook, so we went to Xian for some sushi. Everything was delicious and fresh, as usual! It was happy hour, so we ordered some happy hour rolls, Shumai, and noodles. Service was quick for the food, but it took a while to get drinks and several reminders. This wasn't too much of an issue, though. We normally do takeout from Xian, so this was the first time we have sat inside. Takeout is very convenient, so I'm not sure the next time we will dine-in, but it was a good experience!

Best Thai spot in all of north Austin, in my humble opinion. It is my comfort food and my wife's go-to spot whenever we feel like we are tired, hungry, and don't feel like cooking :) Thai Spoon is always consistent, hot, fresh, delicious, EVERY TIME. It just hits the spot. They don't miss!Service is always great. Wait staff are friendly, attentive, and consistent. I have rarely dined-in, but when I do, it is still a stellar experience. Warm staff and very little wait time, and food comes out quickly. Pick-up orders are always ready at the expected time. I may have had to wait on my pick-up order an extra five minutes once, but that is very rare.Inside has plenty of seating, open space, friendly wait staff, full of delicious smells, and, of course, delicious dishes :) I usually do take-out and it is delicious straight out of the box when we bring it home. You know how a lot of restaurants you pick up from, after you get home and eat it, you say, "it's probably a lot better there." Not with Thai Spoon! Their stuff is so good, that after the 20-minute ride from the restaurant to my house, I can take it all out, and it is still super delicious, hot, and fresh. I rarely taste anything soggy, over-soaked in oil, or less fresh in any way. Ready to be in my belly!Any curry is great! I have literally cycled through every one of them and love them all. Massamun curry, Green curry, Red curry, Panang Curry - I have had all with beef or chicken or both. Sometimes I've done vegetarian, and the broth and taste is still so good, I don't really care. And I'm not even a vegetarian!I get Chicken Potstickers for the kids often and they are hot, crispy, and delicious. My son scarfs them down in minutes. My wife swears by the Chicken Pad Thai, mainly for the taste, but also because she can ask for no spice. Shockingly, some Thai places do not ask you what spice level you want! Thai Spoon does and the spice level always matches your expectations - from no spicy to Thai Hot. Get ready for the heat if you go all the way!Basil fried rice is also delicious and they give you generous portions. I'd recommend with beef, chicken, or both. Thai iced tea, Thai iced coffee are both delicious drinks I'd highly recommend as well.As a testament to how good their food is, even during the pandemic, people were still ordering from them on a regular basis! Though no one was physically inside the restaurant, every time I went to pick up an order, I would always see at least one or two more orders sitting at the back counter waiting to be picked up. Once the pandemic died down, people were right back inside!If you want awesome Thai food up in the North Austin area, look no further! Do your tastebuds a favor and pick some up today!

This is our favorite restaurant in Pflugerville. Fresh, healthy, delicious, and filling. Fast, too. The food is consistent, the wait staff are friendly, and the location is clean. Both my husband and I always get the pho brisket. He orders his with zoodles (zucchini noodles). I order mine w regular noodles. I add siracha and hot oil to mine. Delicious. I always have a little extra left over to take home, too. We would be here more often, but their kids' menu is very basic and has nothing that our kids like. Kids' prices are also very expensive for what they provide. Very plain and very small kids meals. We just don't bring our kiddos when we come here. If you do bring a couple kids, you're best off having them split one adult meal. Both for variety on the plate and for size of their meal. My kids are just not into plain noodles w meat or plain pho. I'm not docking any stars for this shortcoming since the pho is THAT good. If they ever do add some better kid options, we would be able to visit more often. Hopefully, the owners will see this and consider it. If they don't, we will still be back!

THIS IS A MUST PLACE VISIT EVERYTIME I VISIT. They offer such a variety of different foods that ranges from vegan, chicken, beef, seafood and so much more. They have noodles, rice, and fried options. The service is always great and they aren't skimpy on the portions. I highly suggest dining family style to try different meals instead of eating one dish a person. The place is such a vibe and spacious seating. They even offer take out right at the entrance.

Pho and banh mi were both delicious. It's typical counter-service then you sit at a numbered table and the food comes out super quick. I love their decor as well. Really cool vaulted ceilings and such.

Wow this was awesome. My wife and I were looking for something hot to eat considering it was really cold outside, and we eventually decided on ramen. We haven't really had that many great experiences with ramen restaurants in the past, but this one was great! The servers were really nice, the wait time wasn't too bad either since it doesn't take a long time to get seated, eat, and then be on your way.Speaking of, our food came out really fast. Like really fast. Normally that's not good for a restaurant, considering it could have probably been in the microwave for some time, but for here that wasn't the case. I was surprised when everything came out so quickly and tasted hot, flavorful and fantastic.By the way, if you get the vegetarian option, your ramen will be full to the brim.I can't give it justice for how great the food was here, so I'd just go and experience it for yourself.

"Yummy! This place is great when you need some comforting Pho and dumplings. It hit the spot perfectly and I'll definitely be returning."
"The food is always magnificent! I ordered Tekka last time and I always get the veggie dumplings which are delicious !The service is always good. The ambience is pleasant (it's always busy) and the location is center of Domain. Great place!"
"We really enjoy eating here. The soup dumplings are phenomenal--very favorable and soft. The flavor is always spot on.Also, the steam buns are always filled well and very tasty. Service has been great. The servers are attentive, polite, and informative about the menu."
"Love the ambience one person meal, maybe two makes you feel good in your belly the sandwich inside soup is great I eat here a lot so I really didn't have time to take a picture of the sandwich but it was good. I wish I had TV though"
"Where to start! I lived in Austin for 12 years before moving back to the Midwest, and I had never been to Sunflower!? I was working with a client who told me it was where she and her family were going to go get dinner, and I immediately order takeout that evening! The food is absolutely incredible, the staff is incredibly kind, and when you walk in, it feels like home! I am back in Austin every couple of weeks and will definitely be making my way back here! So many thank you's to the staff for sharing your beautiful food and space with us!"
"What a great place! I got take out beef noodle soup and the amount of noodles, chunks of tender beef, and broccoli you get is very very generous. Favor is well balanced and authentic tasting. Parking is alittle tight but I'm coming back the next time I'm in San Marcos."
"Great food, quick pick up service. We did not dine in this time. Lots of food with good flavor not fast food quality. The restaurant is nice and can't wait to go back."
"I came here twice. The food is amazing (I always get the rice with the honey walnut shrimps and the cheeseburger dumplings)!The place is really cute, especially the patio outside that has an amazing atmosphere at night!The only thing, I would probably make the portions slightly bigger, but it's not a big problem."
"I have been coming here since I was a student at Southwestern! I really love the flavor of the dishes as well as the generous portion sizes. I'm glad to see they're doing well - they recently added booths, expanding the seating inside. Jaiwai is an essential when visiting Georgetown and adds variety to the square!"
"We had a delightful, quiet Monday evening at King noodle. The service was excellent, friendly, and quick. I had the P1 eye round steak pho which was wonderful! This will be my new place for pho! BF had B3 vermicelli charbroiled pork and he loved it! We also shared an order of pork egg rolls which came with sweet & sour sauce. They were fresh & delicious. Happily they are also close to our house and we will be back soon!"
"I am very picky over any Asian food. I was very scared after reading a few bad rewards but i decided to give this place a shot anyway. I was actually impressed and loved it. The beef Dan Dan noodles was very flavorful and pasta was al dente which i prefer. The crab Rangoon or whatever they call it there was fantastic. But in the end, my favorite was the sauces at the table. I have never known that Chinese vinegar is different than our household vinegar (which i don't like much) every table and a bottle and it got drenched on all my food, not that it needed it. I was sat at table very fast and he even asked which I'd prefer to sit in. Also was very friendly staff. I will 100% be returning as well as using Grubhub for more!!!"
"Best value noodles in this location. One order feeds two! A lot of the other items in the food court break over the $20 mark but at 11.99, this is nice for the wallet."
"Hanara is a small sushi grill with a big personality and awesome food. I ordered the Samurai Roll, and it did not disappoint. Substituting sweet potato for cucumber is genius. Also, i don't think I've ever had a roll this thick before. I highly recommend this petite two story restaurant, which is nestled between ArtUS Co (Austin's CoOp Artist workspace & and gallery) and Amy's Ice Cream (another Austin original) near the oversized outdoor chess board."
"Tried this place based on a recommendation. Ambiance is great , loved the paintings and the decor(missed to take more pics) . Impressive service here. Marie was very friendly and always taking requests with a smile. Even though she was the only one serving the entire section, she was patient and ensuring by checking frequently if we needed anything .Food is great and portion sizes are huge. Szechuan meal was not at all spicy(unexpectedly), but all the items were delicious.Service time was quick for the appetizers but meal itself took more than 20 mins to arrive. As another review stated already , it's not fast food and it took its own sweet time to arrive - but felt really hot and fresh !"
"I came here for my birthday with my family. We got there at happy hour, so we ordered apps and drinks. I had been to other Xian locations, but this was our first time at the University restaurant. I was so happy to hear they opened up nearby! Rocky shrimp is one of my favorite appetizers. We also got potstickers and crispy rice with spicy kani. My husband was happy they had some Pinthouse beer and I got a Saketini. My son devoured all the potstickers. We all loved the crispy rice. I loved the texture and the flavors. For dinner, my son, dad, and I got the Ramen. The portions were generous, and the broth was flavorful. It seemed a bit saltier than I would have liked, but it was not a deal breaker. My husband got the Mongolian Beef. My mom ordered a shrimp tempura roll, and I got a spicy tuna roll. We all enjoyed our food and were so stuffed after. Our server was laid back, friendly, and attentive. The place had a modern, sleek vibe. It wasn't too busy when we were there, so it was to have an intimate dinner with a few people around. It was Thursday, and we were there at 5:30, and it was pretty cold that day. We enjoyed this place, and I'm glad that it's close by. We will be back for more happy hours."
"Delicious authentic food! Mom was super sweet and helpful with her spice level recommendation. We ended up getting the Orange Chicken and Beef & Broccoli to go and were incredibly happy with both! The food was very flavorful and not oily or soggy at all even after driving home for about 15 minutes. We will definitely become regulars here! If you wanted to eat at the location, the food truck has a couple tables in the back which are covered for rainy, windy, or extremely sunny weather. There are lots of parking spots available as well."
"Really good Chinese food. My go to place for Chinese food in Austin. Can get really busy though at dinner time. Duck is okay."
