Pho.
Steaming bowl of rice noodles in a delicious beef broth and topped with thinly sliced brisket, onions, chives, and my choice of thai basil and bean sprouts.
Not the best bowl of pho that I’ve had in Austin. Is it a bit on the pricer side due to the smallness of the bowl. Great for students who want a bowl of pho in walking distance but I’d head further down Lamar to Pho Saigon or Pho Dan.
Banh Mi.
The signature vietnamese cold cut sandwich. Unfortunately this was a pass for me. I prefer my banh mi bread freshly toasted, heavy slathered with liver paste and stuffed full of meat.
I hardly tasted any liver pasta and there were more pickled veggies than barbecue meat.
Mango Shaved Ice.
Huge portions. Freshly cut fruit of your choice (strawberry, mango, and berries) and your choice of ice cream (vanilla, strawberry and green tea) over a bed of shaved ice and condensed milk.
