Edited a month agoThe soymilk is honestly a great value. A small is not that small and comes in just over $2, while the large is huge for around $3. The drink itself has a light sweetness that does not overpower, which makes it really easy to enjoy. It feels refreshing and does not leave you with that heavy, sugary feeling you get from other sweet drinks. Simple, but done really well at an amazing price point. 8.5/10 The fish cake was a really solid snack. The filling was incredibly juicy, to the point where each bite had a noticeable burst of flavor. It was not overly fishy either, which made it more approachable and enjoyable. A simple item, but executed well. 8/10

5 months agoThis place is special for its focus on house-made soy products. They make their own tofu, soy milk, and tofu skin on site, and it really shows in the quality. I ordered the large hot soy milk—it came in a huge cup, perfectly lightly sweetened, steaming hot, and absolutely delicious. I also had the bún riêu (Vietnamese crab soup), which arrived hot and beautifully presented, served with fresh herbs and a side of chili shrimp paste. Everything tasted comforting and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and welcoming; the ladies working there speak both Vietnamese and English. There’s plenty of parking, and while the space feels more like a cozy hole-in-the-wall than a full-scale restaurant, it’s warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend.

8 months agoHungry. Daughter and I had headaches and we wanted good soup. The soups helped us feel a bit better and filled our bellies. We came home and took a long nap.

10 months agoRating: 3.7/5 [dine in] On Yelp, this place is called Fresh Tofu, but on Google, it's called Uncle Phan's Fresh Tofu Restaurant. We were looking for bánh bèo and there were very few restaurants that showed up. We had never been here before, so we decided to try it. Inside is like a typical Vietnamese to-go place and seemed family-owned. The older lady and man were nice and seemed to have built a connection with their patrons. We did question their sanitary standards as the tissue box had enough dust to look like it had just been pulled out of storage, and there were flies inside the store trying to land on our food. I would say the food is good if you eat it fresh or heat it up later, but not if you're eating on the go. We ordered from their "hot" bar and they didn't heat up the food, so it was borderline warm/room temperature. For the bánh bèo and bánh ướt, they made it fresh so it was yummy and warm! You order and pay before you grab a table if you're dining in. Dai Huu Ky ($2): This didn't look like your typical dai huu ky you get with cơm dĩa. It was long like a tube and looked to be filled with vegetables instead of shrimp. It was soggy and just okay since it wasn't heated up. If we could air fry it, I think it would be so much better! Tôm Rang ($10): Not heated up but warm enough. I'm not a fan of shelled shrimp dishes, but this was good, especially the flavors. Since we were dining in, they gave us a huge bowl of rice to eat it with. Chả Chiên Các Loại ($2.25): Looks like a round fish cake. It wasn't bad; just wish it was a bit warmer. Bánh Bèo ($5): This is what we came for, but we didn't see it on the menu so we asked the lady cashier if they still sold it. She said they did but had run out, so we would have to wait 5 minutes for them to make it. That was fine with us, and it was pretty solid. The mung bean had a bit of crunch to it, which is different from the usual soft and mushy version I'm used to. The lady told us that the plate she gave us was actually 2 portions, so now we have a point of reference. Bánh ướt Chả Lụa ($11): Yum--this was probably my favorite dish of the meal. The chả lụa was delicious! The bánh ướt was soft but didn't have as much meat as I would like. Their nước chấm is very good though and brings the flavors together into a cohesive dish. Sugarcane / Nước Mía ($5.50 Small): This was okay. The drink was a bit warm when we got it so it wasn't as refreshing as I was hoping it would be. Salted Coffee / Cà Phê Muối ($5): I read reviews saying this was good here, but I thought it was just okay. The coffee wasn't as strong as I like it to be, so it leaned heavier on the salted cream flavor.

a year agoThe only place I could find banh tieu! They have banh cam, banh day, and a bunch of other fried and pre made foods. Service is fast, they have one register but two people taking your order and payment. $14 for 2 banh tieu, $2 banh cam, 1 banh day and 1 goi cuon

Edited 3 years agoThey have a good buon rieu and bun bo especially if you don’t like the fermented shrimp taste. Theirs isn’t as strong. I also love buying their fresh tofu and banh cuon by the lb or 1/2 to go. Not many places in austin have fresh banh cuon.
