"The pho at Pho Phong Lu’u is our favorite in town, and we’re clearly not the only people in agreement, as evidenced by the line spilling out of this North Austin restaurant around lunchtime every weekend. It also happens to be one of the few Vietnamese spots in town open at 10am, meaning you can actually enjoy a bowl of pho for a late breakfast as the dish was intended. The broth here is incredibly aromatic, with notes of cinnamon and clove permeating through the rich aroma of slow-cooked beef bones. The meats on top are pretty standard, with the exception of the savory meatballs, among the best in town. What to order: Pho with meatballs " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
