Nancy's Kitchen

After exercising with a friend of mine and we decided to try Nancy's Kitchen from doing a Yelp search. It was rated 5 stars so off we go! We thought of having a cocktail in the restaurant and catching up.Well, we were surprised to learn that Nancy's Kitchen is not a free standing restaurant but one of several restaurants housed in the same building. Also, no cocktails were served at Nancy's Kitchen. There were a few tables for eating your meals, however, for the most part people were getting their meals to go.We ordered from the kiosk and awaited our meals...estimated at 19 minutes. The building's restroom was broken so we went to a nearby hotel to use the restroom. Needless to say, this dining experience was not turning out as expected.Then our meal came in a paper bag. We set down to eat. OMG...OMG...OMG my vermicelli bowl was super delicious. The chicken was super flavorable and tender and the vermicelli was the best I've ever eaten. I ate everything from my container. Nancy's Kitchen is high recommend!!!

For a ghost kitchen it was nearly perfect! I had a pick-up order of the house special vermicelli they used grilled dark meat chicken and pork. The presentation was wonderful to see, unfortunately the container trapped the heat and steamed the egg roll losing its lightly crunchy texture - so it was soggy but still good. I also feel the steam took away the char on the meats and lost some of its flavor.I loved they weren't afraid to use mint with their salad which gives it a fresh taste and they added fried shallots on top of the meat and noodles which made it even better and more authentic to me.It is overpriced and filling at approx $18 a plate.The down side was the nuoc cham that came with it. I'm expecting a savory, sweet, and salty pungent fish sauce mix and got watered down sugar water with a splash of fish sauce - so that was disappointing.

The Good: :: it's a local business! :: they have good traditional dishes like eggrolls, rice dishes, bun/vermicelli dishes, etc that are very tasty :: their grilled chicken is very tender and not dried out :: portions are good :: fixins are good...the veggies that come with your dishes are fresh and adequately portions (herbs, etc)The Bad: :: Banh mi is nothing to write home about. skip itThe Ugly: :: noneWould I go back? Sure thing! This place is good and hits the cravings just right. This place is IN.

Got the chicken broken rice plate. Not bad at all and it hit the spot. The dark meat chicken was moist. The sauce has a little more fish sauce forward than other places; I kind of liked it as I'm used to South East Asian tastes. I also got a winter melon tea. If you haven't had winter melon tea before think of a light caramel flavor that's refreshing.It's all ghost kitchen so you'll find them on the delivery apps.

So I ordered through DD so I can't speak on the customer service; but honey!!! Im addicted to their Brussels sprouts!!!! The ribs have an incredible flavor and the grilled pork sandwich is delicious!!!

I'm shocked, but in a good way. Presentation nice but flavor even better. Highly recommend!!!

Food is great! The meat is flavorful and fresh. Tried a lot of Vietnamese food around Austin, so far this is the best when it comes to authentic taste. Added on rib appetizer to the order. It was done nicely. Best decision ever hahaOnly take out food. I love that they open late.

I wanted to try something new on Doordash, and Nancy's piqued my interest. I ordered a few things here, including:Nancy's Famous Chicken Wings - the sauce it's tossed in is packed with flavor. The chicken wings themselves are pretty average but the flavor is quite good here.Chicken Sandwich (Banh Mi) - this was just okay. There wasn't anything notable about it and I felt like it was just wasn't worth the cost - could've used a little more chicken in there.Shrimp and Rice Plate - pretty classic Vietnamese rice plate with fish sauce and some basic veggies on the side. Everything well-cooked and flavorful, however. Just overall a very solid dish, no complaints, but nothing in particular stood out either.

I have ordered from here several times and it never fails. It's nicely priced and you get a lot of food! I've tried different items from the menu and I have not been disappointed. Story time: One time I was having a really bad day and I had a banh mi sandwich. I actually cried from how good it was.

Absolutely phenomenal - I order from here at least once a week. You can tell they truly take pride in their food - the quality of ingredients is amazing, and the presentation is fantastic - even for take out orders. They deserve all the business and praise!
