Phở or precisely pronounced in Vietnamese language as 'fur' is a famous Vietnamese noodle soup is originated from North Vietnam. Better known as the trademark of Vietnamese cuisine outside Vietnam, Pho is popular in United States especially the locations with strong Vietnamese community. The soup is usually prepared from beef broth and served with rice vermicelli. It is also offered with other fresh accompaniments like basil leaves, lime wedges, bean sprouts and peppers.

In a chilled evening of fall or winter, having a bowl of pho is always a great choice for dinner to warm up the tummy. Despite there are more than dozens of Vietnamese restaurants in Austin, Pho Saigon remains as one of our favorite places to frequent for Vietnamese cuisine.

Located at Austin Chinatown Center in North Lamar Blvd, Pho Saigon is always bustling with diners especially on weekends and attracts some patrons of MT Supermarket as well. Besides the highlight of pho, this restaurant also offers egg noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, vermicelli and steamed rice platter with a long list of variations in addition to the common Vietnamese appetizers and desserts such as fresh rolls, egg rolls and bean pudding.


We love most of the dishes here including fresh rolls, pho, egg noodle and Bún bò Huế.

Not many folks are familiar with Bun bo hue or the beef and pig knuckles rice vermicelli. Available in two ptions of mildly spicy or spicy at Pho Saigon, the broth is a mixed of tangy and spicy, flavored predominantly by lemon grass, chili and shrimp paste. A bowl of Bun bo Hue usually includes slices of beef, pig knuckles cubes of congealed pig blood and garnished with cilantro. The typical fresh accompaniments served are onions, bean sprouts, lime wedges, peppers and purple cabbages. Dip them into the broth while it is still piping hot. Personally, a bowl of Bun bo hue is appealing to satisfy my yearning for Assam Laksa which is impossible to dine in Austin.
