Pho - Austin

We liked the pho and bo luc lac. I’ve been looking for a good Bo Luc Lac since moving to Austin and this is the best one I’ve found so far.

This place will always be my favorite place on campus, and not just because the food is fantastic, but because eating there feels a lot like being at home. Everyone is so nice, especially the sweet woman that's always at the back counter. I've never had a bad experience, I've only ever had delightful ones that keep me coming back for more. Just recently I was almost moved to tears because while I was scrambling to pay and pack up to go to a meeting, the kind woman at the counter went ahead and packed up my food for me and handed me all my belongings, just to make my day a little easier. I don't think I'll ever forget that.

The owner of this restaurant is incredibly friendly and hails all the way from Vancouver, Canada. I highly recommend the Com Tam with grilled pork - the pork chops are freshly grilled and wonderfully seasoned. The large fresh squeeze lemonade is a favorite of mine. There are plenty of undergrads frequenting this establishment as well.

The owner and her family were extremely welcoming and pleasant. They even provided crayons and paper for my children to use. I enjoyed their food, especially the braised pork belly. Everything was delicious!

I had an excellent time at this restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. The portions were generous for the price. I will definitely return in the future.
