eating currently the chicken fried rice no veggies, rice cooked amazing! chicken amazing no fatty bits in the chicken as well, started my meal off with egg drop soup YALL ITS cheapp and literally amazing i need more people to try this place out im such a fan
Just ate here for the second time with my wife, and we ate 4 bowls of the egg drop soup along with some pho. We love this this place and it's our new favorite spot in town ! It's a must try amazing prices and large portions will leave you full and happy :)
Love the moo goo gai pan, fried rice and wonton soup. I've had the pho and it's excellent as well. My kids like the sesame chicken . The service is like "the soup nazi " on Seinfeld. lol the waitress we get EVERY time is so grumpy and kinda rude it's comical to me , but my daughter hates going bc of her. I think she rolls her eyes when you order water. lol . Another thing she does is when she comes to the table with the ticket and wants payment RIGHT THEN. We can be in the middle of eating and she stands there waiting to get payment. She doesn't leave until you pay up. It's extremely annoying and uncalled for. I know this so I keep my card or cash on the table so I can hand it to her. In closing go for the food, (it's delicious) not the service.
Very authentic Vietnamese food a gem in Hutto. I wasn't expecting a good classic Vietnamese restaurant in the middle of hutto but it's a very good well operated full flavored restaurant. Is it authentic? Yes. What I really like, is how the soups are not overly oily like other restaurants so this tells me that the broth is cleaner, and doesn't have too much fat, which I really appreciate. In fact, I order to go on purpose so that I can refrigerate the broth and scoop out the fat when it hardens, but I didn't have to this time. The crispy noodles are definitely crispy and it's fun to eat, mixed in with the dark soy sauce and the crunch of the fresh vegetables. The beef also taste, fresh and mixed together, it's a nice dish. The vermicelli bowl to go is another authentic example of my countries. Food, the noodles were bouncy and fresh, and was happy to taste the freshness of the beef, because it reminded me of the same freshness from the crispy noodles. When mixed together the noodles, the beef, the crushed peanuts with the sliced Vegetables, and you have to pour the sauce that comes with it, great fresh dish. I don't think I need to go into a detailed description of the beef noodle bowl because most people have had it already but I've been eating beef pho bowls for 37 years so this one, has to the the top 5 I've had in Austin. When comparing the amount of beef you get, to the flavors of the broth, and compared with the price, it's a very good strong flavored beef broth that doesn't taste like it came from a packet or jar, it does taste more home made. And lastly, the seafood pho bowl, it came with a separate chicken style broth, in the Vietnamese culture, you can't mix pho broth to a seafood broth but seafood broths come with not seafood but a chicken broth but comes with seafood ingredients. Very good broth not too salty which I like but when mixed with the seafood, it's a hearty dish, like American chicken noodle but Vietnamese seafood noodle just more elevated and with better ingredients.
The hot and sour soup is always on point. It is my go to especially when I'm sick. I just order two large containers every other day. It really helps my respiratory illnesses. Their potatoes stirfry is really good and their pho is great. Really nice people a mom and pop shop that's been there for Over 20 years or so.
