Interesting that Banh Xeo are made like large banh khots here and are without the bean sprouts. Extra crispy but miss the bean sprouts.

Not sure if it was their off day on the day we went but their noodle soup items were not good. As a Vietnamese born and raised in Vietnam for 18 years, my standard for Vietnamese food is high. We tried this place after reading many positive reviews and we were disappointed. Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu don't have their own unique flavor as they're supposed to have. They seem to use the same broth for both and only add shrimp paste and some lemongrass in Bun Bo Hue. Bun Rieu doesn't have the subtle tanginess of the tomatoes and no crab aroma. My mom got Bun Rieu and had to squeeze a bunch of lime wedges in the broth. The only great thing about Bun Bo Hue is that they're very generous with the meat. You will have meat in every spoon and still have it until the last spoon. My husband and sister got Beef Pho - the pho broth is so sweet. Their menu has a lot of options for Chinese and Thai dishes, which is kind of a red flag to me. Sometimes the less, the better. Sticking to just Vietnamese cuisine and doing it well is much better than adding multiple options from different cuisines. Service is ok. They're efficient and do their job to take orders, bring your food out, and that's it. Don't expect them to come around and check if everything is ok. If you need anything, just ask. There's one lady that is very nice and sweet. The restaurant is bright and clean with lots of tables. I'd recommend them changing the music - they played all the very sad and heart broken Vietnamese songs in instrumental the day we were there.You may want to try their non soup items if you visit this place.

Okay, I came back to try other dishes and was pretty disappointed. Pho: Huge portion with lots of meat and noodles. However, the broth... it was sweet! Usually Pho from the south has a sweeter taste than from the North (I'm from the South), but this one is just too sweet and lacking in fragrant. The only save was the portion size. Bun Rieu: We also Bun Bo Hue and clearly they used the same broth for both dishes, which was very disappointing considering how different they should taste. Sliced pork (which is shouldn't to be in bun rieu), cha, rieu, and 2 pieces of boiled tomato that I feel like they just toss it in there. Bland and pretty sadQuick service, nice people. If you're Viet, you will be disappointed to have their Pho and Bun Rieu

My vietnamese friend ordered me something that was not on the menu. Came out this huge pork plate with fresh side veggies. I don't know what it's called but it was deliciously marinated pork meat. It's a good leftover too!

You know you're onto a fave when the decision is not where to eat, it's what you want to order. The service (always good) was great last night, even though they were really busy. The great surprise was the appetizer: #13 on the appetizer menu. Amazing! I could order two of these and forget about dinner altogether. The screens are unobtrusive, silent and show lovely food and vegetable prep. I'd prefer that my wine be served immediately, but that's a very small complaint about my very favorite Asian restaurant.

Amazing Vietnamese food for north Austin!! Their menu is pretty extensive and has more than just pho. I came for the Banh cuon (rice rolls with ground meat) and it did not disappoint. By far the best I've had in Austin(many restaurants do not have). We also tried the Fish clay pot which comes with a small side of rice. Highly recommend both. We will be back to try more items on the menu. Dessert #87 is a must if you like coconut!!!

**First time visitor** Just got home from picking up my online order and was blown away with the food preparation/packaging and flavor! Service was excellent I walked right in to grab my takeout order. Ambiance was clean and relaxing! I had to call the store to give them kudos when I got home, it costs nothing to be nice and restaurants like this deserve the recognition! Thank you Saigon 512, I will definitely be returning!

I appreciated they have some of the most authentic Viet dishes on their menu and I think they might be the only restaurant doing it alright in the area. We ordered Bot Chien and Bun Dau Mam Tom. Food was ok, not exceptional but still pretty ok with the price range. Bot Chien was missing the special sauce on the side and the vermicelli in Bun Dau was a bit dried and broken. The sauce and meat + tofu in Bun Dau were pretty good. Service was quick and friendly, they forgot the sauce for the Bot Chien but they gave us the sweet fish sauce which was ok too. The vibe was pretty nice, we went for lunch but I could imagine this place more busy and fun during dinner time.

I was craving some very specific Vietnamese dishes and this place satisfied! The banh bot chien was nice and crispy, cooked to perfection. The canh chua had a balanced flavor and was a hefty portion even for a small. The bo luc lac was not as tender as I'd like, but that's because the beef cubes were a little large and more a medium temp, which was a nice treat. The sauce was the perfect sweetness. Bonus points for having sugar cane juice. The workers there were so sweet and provided excellent service. Will definitely be back to try more items.

I was not feeling well today & my go to is always pho. I decided to give Saigon 512 a try as it's near my office & they did not disappoint! The broth was so flavorful & the chicken was super tender, plenty of toppings as well! My food was ready on time & prepared for pickup when I arrived. I did get it to go, but the inside was clean & spacious. I'll definitely be back!
