Tan My Restaurant

This restaurant has the BEST Bun bo Hue and Crispy noodles in Austin. They come in big portions, especially the crispy noodles. Their food is the most authentic of all Vietnamese restaurants here.

Amazing food, very fresh, very flavorful. They have friendly kind staff and are mindful and accommodating to allergies such as gluten free. We will return for sure!

Flavorful broth, but they are usually very busy. Parking is limited and I had to wait around 20~ minutes just to be seated. Definitely good, but I’d skip the wait.

I’ve gotten bun bo hue (BBH) from Tan My several times in the past because they have pretty good BBH. But today, when I picked up my to go order, it seemed quite lacking. No pork blood, veggie side for Pho instead of bun bo, and no shank. Didn’t feel like a Bun Bo Hue at all and I’m a Hue person. Just really surprised because I’ve never had an issue with my bun bo before. I don’t wanna give any lower rating because I do love their pho.

Bun Bo hue was done great here. The pork blood in the broth was not stinky and cooked properly. The cha and pork hock were soft and tender. Broth was satisfying (I prefer more lemongrass but still hit the spot!) best bun bo hue I’ve had in Austin. Service was very attentive and kind. Great people. Thank you for a great meal @tanmyrestaurant

The pho tastes good, but maybe because it was takeout, the brisket was too tough to chew. The portion size is generous. If you’re getting pho, I’d recommend dining in.

Wow! This is truly the most remarkable Pho place I have ever dined at. The broth is so flavorful and rich, and the ratio of noodles to meat to broth is perfect. The meat quality is also super high and delicious! Really makes me warm on cold days, and will be my new to-go Pho spot as it’s close to where I live. I highly recommend trying this place as it is a hidden gem!!

Best pho in Austin, hands down. This is a family ran business that has spent many years perfecting their craft. There is something really special about going time and time again to see the same people. They also have great service for a small restaurant! The staff has been there for years, and it's pretty cool seeing a Vietnamese family speak Spanish with their Latino employees. It goes to show how much they value each other, and that must be part of the special recipe :)

Incredible! Best Pho in Austin by a mile- haven't found another spot like it. Owner is from Vietnam and really knows how to cook authentic pho and Bun Bo Hue! Service is good but this place gets BUSY on weekends- plan ahead for a wait. Ambiance is nice, its very much a local gem. Large parking lot so easy to get to and park too

I haven't been here in a while. It's 1:00 pm and it's bustling here. I had the vermicelli with charbroiled pork and egg rolls and my hubby had the pho with rare steak. My dish was loaded with delicious pork and the equivalent of two egg rolls cut into bite sized chunks. The dish includes onions, bean sprouts, iceberg lettuce, crushed peanuts, and of course the vermicelli noodles. Everything was delicious. I tasted the broth from my hubby's pho. It's some of the best I've tasted. Make sure to request the pickled jalapeños. They are house made and very tasty.

Really efficient service and was completely happy with my pho. Tendon was very tasty and broth was mad hot. Will be back

I met a former colleague for lunch here today at her suggestion. I haven't been here for years and luckily we got there just before the lunch rush and didn't have to wait in line to get a seat. I need to remember to come back more often. I had forgotten how good and fresh the food was here! They do a great job getting folks a spot and serving folks quickly. The dishes are a good size so it's always nice to be able to take leftovers home. I always get confused when choosing between pho's so when my friend got her typical vermicelli with curry sauce I got the same. It was really good! The spring rolls were good too. The peanut sauce was different than I'm used to so I probably should have tried it with some other sauces they had on the table. I look forward to going back again soon!

Updated review now that I've gone in person. In-person dine in hours at the time of this review are 10 AM - 3 PM, with 10 AM - 7 PM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The 55c Hu Tieu Xeo is large pieces of clustered rice noodle and is delicious. It's even better in person. Everything we had was fantastic. Ordered at 6:10 PM on a Thursday evening All food on the table by 6:22 PM Order to Table = less than 15 minutes!

Quick and updated review since my last one was 8 years ago! Nothing has changed besides pricing. (not their fault) Still the best Phở in Austin! Order #2 Still the best Bún bò Huế in Austin! Order Order #33B

I am not sure why this place is so highly rated. I order grilled pork bun for lunch and it was really unimpressive. The pork was ok. The few veggies with it were kinda sad. It was a big portion. There is so much better Vietnamese food in Austin I doubt I would try it again.

i ordered pho for takeout and was a bit disappointed. the broth was flavorful but the meat was a bit dry and the noodles kept falling apart and weren't very chewy. my friend got their chicken pho thinking it would come with chicken broth but the broth was the same as my regular pho. overall not bad, but wouldn't be my first choice for pho.

This is a family-owned business. We got the Bun Bo Hue/spicy beef soup ($15) and Bun Thit Nuong/vermicelli with grilled pork ($15). The Bun Bo Hue had a nice variety of meat, but I liked the Bun Thit Nuong even more! The grilled pork was so flavorful. The fish sauce flavoring was light and refreshing. I liked the texture of the dried but partially soaked in the sauce noodles. We went on a Saturday mid-day and got seated immediately! Service was fast, friendly, and accurate.

Food: * Pho Tai Chin - Solid pho with tender meat and a well balanced broth. A little pricier than other places, but delicious. * Bun Bo Hue - Really good and almost made me give this place a 5 just for this. Bouncy noodles, flavorful and rich broth that isn't overly salted, plus generous meat portions that are very tender. I could have almost made 2 meals out of that one bowl. To Go: Ordering to go by phone was about a 20 minute wait. It's packaged well for to go. Make sure to keep everything upright because while the broth is separately bagged, the container it is in has a tiny hole to release steam at the top. Logistics: The restaurant isn't large so finding seating can be tough, so may be best for to-go. It was actually completely full when I went at noon on a weekday. There is a small parking lot in front, but since this place shares the strip with 3 other stores the lot fills up fast and I saw plenty of people parking down a fire lane.

It's been a minute so I'm going to brag on their bun bo hue, which is the best in town. Right amount of dice and flavor is out of this world. I only get it the traditional way for the best flavor and experience.

Walked in on a Saturday around dinner time and was sat immediately. Service was super fast and the workers were kind. I ordered pho and loved how many meat options and combinations there were, the broth was also really flavorful. Probably my favorite pho spot in Austin! Pricing-wise this restaurant is really great at as well, would definitely recommend coming here.

*** NOTE: This review is only on quality of food. The restaurant was not available for dine-in, a little sad about that *** Post-eclipse we were looking forward to finding some familiar flavors from our neck of the woods. We were happy to find that Tan My was open, but a bit bummed that they were take-out only for the night. We all got a different variety of Pho for the evening, which hit the spot pretty well. The broth itself was pretty good, a little on the sweet side for me - I prefer a bit stronger on the anise, but it was definitely a hit with the little ones. The take-out bowls were quite generous, there was plenty in one bowl to split between 3x 7 & under little ones. They were also generous on the side veggies, which is a must... if you've been doing Pho without the side veggies.... you're missing out! All in all, the pho here was pretty solid and the portions pretty generous. Worthy of a try!

We came by around 8 and they stop taking dine in at 7 so we had to order out. The restaurant itself is pretty small and looks very authentic. I got the Vermicelli Noodles with curry and vegetables. The portion size is huge! I was impressed by how yummy the noodles were and there was a good ratio of veggies and tofu to noodles. It was spicy but overall the perfect bite.

This place was new for me. The food was prepared beautifully and I did enjoy most of it. I will say the parts that I did not were purely due to my own cultural taste preference. The service was great- better than great especially since I was unfamiliar with most things on the menu. The restaurant had a very comfortable feel and had very fun energy. Conversations flowing throughout the entire restaurant. I would definitely go back after studying the menu a bit more.

Was in Austin for just a few hours, looked for a Vietnamese restaurant close by and found this gem! So glad I did!! This small family owned restaurant was so authentic, delicious and service was quick and very kind!! My husband and I absolutely loved the fresh spring rolls & eggrolls to start off. We chose the charbroiled pork vermicelli & rice bowls which were packed with flavor, large portion size and super reasonably priced! Keep up the spectacular work, we can't wait to come back!

Pleasantly surprised! We're pretty particular when it comes to Vietnamese food. Came here to eat with family on a late Saturday afternoon. I ordered pho #1 and can say that I enjoyed my bowl. Still can't compare to homemade but it'll do when you're craving a bowl of pho! My family got: vermicelli grilled pork with egg roll, fried rice, broken rice dish, tofu with flat noodles, beef and broccoli with flat noodles. Tofu tasted off and sour, as if it was old. Otherwise, everybody liked their dishes. Our service was good. They were fast and friendly. It's a small, older, casual restaurant. Overall, we would return!

One of the top pho spots in Austin in my opinion. Not the best I've ever had, but amazing for Austin. Tan my is small, but they do a good job of rearranging guests and tables to fit everyone one. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was moderately full. Service is pretty quick too. I ordered the small #1 and felt that the portion size was huge! Broth is fantastic and the meat is very tender. Lots of bean sprouts, mint and jalapeño to add to your bowl. Overall, I was very satisfied!

Place has really solid Pho! Friendly staff good prices. I had the beef pho with the mixed cuts, very good. My partner had the chicken with veggie and she enjoyed it. Also started with the veggie spring rolls, very good!

If you're craving Vietnamese food, this is the place to go! They don't have a website, but you can order for pickup or delivery through Uber Eats. If you're picking up an order, you can skip the line outside and go to the counter inside. I went on Saturday for the Dine with Maui fundraiser, and the staff was super friendly despite being busy! I ordered: - Hu Tieu Xao Don Thap Cam (6/5): Delicious!! This was my first time trying this dish, and I absolutely will get it again. It's a stir fry with veggies, beef, chicken, shrimp, and crispy rice noodle squares in a garlic sauce. I wasn't sure what to expect for the rice noodle squares, but they're basically a bunch of rice noodle squares stacked together and fried. They're crispy on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle, and the undisputed star of this dish. The garlic sauce is perfectly savory and just a little sweet. If you've never had this before, you need to try it! - Mi Thap Cam (5/5): This is an egg noodle soup with pork, shrimp, squid, and fish cakes. Normally, when I order a noodle soup, the best part of the dish for me is the meat. However, the broth in this dish is addicting! I didn't even need the toppings, I could've just drank the broth by itself. It was flavorful yet light, and enhanced the flavor of the meats. That being said, the portion of meat in this dish was super generous, and I especially enjoyed that crispy fried piece of shrimp on top of the soup. This is a great alternative if you want a noodle soup but don't feel like having pho! - Cha Gio (4/5): These egg rolls were pretty good! The filling was a lot more meaty than I'm used to, but I still really enjoyed them. I'm not sure if they were busier than usual when I went, but the little parking lot in front of the restaurant was completely full. A lot of people were parked on the side street by the neighborhood behind the restaurant. This is definitely the best Viet food I've had in Austin so far!

I wanted to come here because their Google ratings were really high, and it did not disappoint. We had to wait a little bit after 1 PM on a Tuesday but they were very nice and worked quickly to get us a table. The pho broth is delicious and pretty unique and tastes very light, natural, and aromatic compared to other pho I've had. The large bowl is really big and they give a lot of meat and noodles, and the price is great. However, I wish they gave more fresh ingredients (mint, bean sprouts). They only gave us (2 people) one plate which honestly looks like it's for one person. I also don't recommend getting the "bowl of meatballs" for $3.50. I expected a good amount for that price but it was just a bowl of soup with 6 pieces of quarter-cut meatballs so literally 1.5 meatballs. The meatballs were also not my favorite as they tasted a little store bought and not chewy.

Best Pho that I have ever had. One of our favorite places in Austin and the owners are the best.

My family friend introduced me to this spot and didn't disappoint at all. Delicious food, quick friendly service, and literally the best bun bo hue I've had. The broth had such great depth with plenty of meats and fixings. I asked for no pork hock or blood with extra cha. They are closed on Sundays so never got a chance to try but so glad I finally did!

Let me start off by saying SO GOOD. This is your kind of a hole in the wall restaurant where the food don't miss. The Pho is delicious and in my opinion comparing this place to Pho Phong Luu, Tan My is better! The broth is so tasteful and light and the Banh mi is delicious and the bread for the Banhi mi taste so fresh. This place gives you the vibe and taste of a home cooked Pho made with a love. Definitely check it out! ***Side not*** There is no true wait list. It's first come first serve. If there is a line you must stand in line and just wait till people start to clear out of the restaurant. So there is NO putting your name down on a list or reservations. The plus side is the service is fast and the wait is not very long even on their busier days. The costumers service is great. 5 stars for the ATX area for sure. Enjoy

Gave them another try and they're back to their usual standard. The price is reasonable, and the food portion is huge. We love the Bun Bo Hue here. This place is so busy that there's a wait at 2pm on a Saturday. The also close dine in area on weekdays after 3pm, so plan accordingly

Found this place off a list of the best pho restaurants in the US. After several disappointments at other places, this is by far the best pho in Austin! Came on a Saturday night and they were very busy but there was no wait. Definitely will be back!

Tan My is an Austin favorite for Vietnamese pho and other delicious Asian foods. They have been around for decades and earned a reputation for serving some of the freshest, most consistently delicious fare available. The only downside is their sketchy dine-in hours and the lack of a decent online menu when trying to order for pick up.

If the rating was for the wonton noodle soup alone, then it would've been a 5/5. Broth was perfect. However, I did not enjoy the spring rolls. They were stuffed with a lot of noodles, but not enough of meat, and the presentation was not aesthetically pleasing either. It looked like someone rushed to make the rolls. Peanut sauce was very watered down and did not have the normal peanut sauce taste. Good service, we were quickly seated. No line when we came. Plenty of parking outside. The place can get crowded so at one point, we were seated right next to strangers but that didn't bother me.

I ordered the spicy fried rice and it was bland. Also the rice was soft and mushy. Used to be my favorite place in Austin to get fried rice.Might have been a bad batch but the quality not there this time.

My coworker had told me about this place and claimed it was the best Pho in Austin. I'm inclined to agree with this statement. I used to visit this place at least once a week, but since i no longer work where I did, i haven't had a chance to make my back to it in awhile. I've never had bad food here ever, and they by far have the best Pho i've had around here and the eggrolls are incredible. Just be aware that the parking here is dreadful, so make sure you get there early.

This is my favorite pho place. I always get the meatball pho. Even the small bowl is a pretty decent size serving. Seating is mainly family style as in multiple tables are put together so you may be sitting literally side by side with another customer. No big deal but it may be difficult if you plan on coming with a huge group plan to wait. They are typically pretty busy during the lunch rush. But it's worth the wait. There are a few tables on the outer sides of the restaurant if you prefer not to sit family style.

Best pho in north Austin for sure. Very fresh food. Daytime hours unlike many places that only open at 4.

If you ask me which Vietnamese restaurant in Austin I would suggest, my next question would be, "for what dish specifically?" because if you're wanting some bun bo hue then look no further because it was ON POINT here! Great flavor, portion-size, and value for what you pay. Paired this with some cha gio which was good as well. The com ga thit nuong? It was good! However, given how great the previous dish was, I desired more here primarily because I was hoping for more of a charcoal, grilled flavor from the meat and didn't get that. Additionally, I would have liked the opportunity to order broken rice (com tam) instead of the regular white rice I got. That said, they have a huge menu to choose from, so I'd like to come back sometime and try some of the others!

The darling hubby and I, along with the rest of our fair ATX, have had a traumatic go of it this week with this epically-horrid #TREEPOCALYPSE2023, so, after four days of a zillion hours of heartbreakingly chainsawing and clearing ancient trees and shivering in our homes at night for lack of power, we needed a quick respite posthaste! I took to Yelp, natch, and we found Tan My! And I'm VERY sure that this has probably been said before, so please forgive me for the inevitable cliche, but OH, My! This was everything that we needed in our very souls! The place was packed, and for good dang reason! We ordered our usual Vietnamese fare of steamed spring rolls, a pork vermicelli bowl, and a beef pho, and they were all utterly phenomenal! (That pho broth, y'all! Holy sh*t!) Top five for sure, and we've tried a million Austin Vietnamese spots! We found Tan My just when we needed her! Bottomless thanks, Tan My, for restoring a large piece of our currently desperately chilly and sad hearts! Very sincerely, Natalie and Chris

Hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Austin. If I want pho I want to go here. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and the food hits the spot literally every time. I try and take people whenever possible.

This place is such a gem. The food is not only so delicious, but the service is also amazing. This is my go to place for Vietnamese food. Good prices too!

My new fav spot for pho, BBH, and bun thit nuong! Every time I've had them, they ALWAYS come packed with so much meat, veggies, and noodles. The owner is so so SO friendly and welcoming and makes sure to check on everyone while they're dining here. :-)

I've eaton countless bowls of pho over the last 25 years, including in various south east Asian countries. Tan My provides great pho at a great price.

The Bun Bo Hue broth is amazing. Not watered down, it comes with most of the authentic fixings like the pork feet and blood no cha or banana blossoms though. I will over look these details as their broth is amazing. I am Viet this is my all time favorite food. I used to live down the street from the "best" Bun Bo Hue place in Orange County/ Little Saigon and that places broth was many times inconsistent and cash only with mediocre service. I've also had this in Hue, Vietnam at some of the OG authentic spots. If Tan My can deliver on consistency this may be the best bun Bo place besides my moms kitchen. (At least that I've had in Austin and Orange County) I could tell this place is a labor love. My manager recommended this place to me because his Vietnamese childhood friend took him here regularly while they were growing up. Amy took our order and her brother delivered the food to us when it was ready. I didn't really read the reviews too much because I was craving bun bo and a taste of home. She said they had been there for over 25 years and she had taken over the restaurant from her parents. The do dine in only for lunch time and are closed on Sunday's. These are very important things that I did not read prior to just waltzing in starving at 7PM. This is a family restaurant that really shines in the quality of food. Is it unfortunate they don't do dine in after 3PM...a little. They do make up for it by packing your Bun in a microwave safe container. (Soup is still packaged separately to keep your noodles from getting soggy). I will be back and I hope it is as amazing next time as it was this time. Thanks for making a delicious authentic bun Bo for this homesick girl.

More hole in the wall spot, but solid pho spot that has a ton of options aside from pho too. I really liked their shrimp fried rice and they give you big portions! Their chili oil is also amazing and if it's not on the table, just ask! If I'm not feeling pho as my main, I like that you can do a side broth with our without noodles as I just want the broth sometimes. They have always been super friendly anytime we go. The only thing I don't like is the parking lot. It's super tight spots and always crowded.

This by far is one of our favorite places for Pho. The broth it self is so tasteful. The place is a family owned establishment so you know it's authentic. Usually the place is packed so at times there is a small wait. Service they are very attentive. I've had other dishes but I highly recommend the PHO from there!

#11 Tendon tender The steak (tai) wasn't as soft and tender as the best spots, but fine. Service was quick #30/31 I think this is their specialty and it's pretty good. Fast casual no frills eatery. Dine in seating hours: M-W 10-3 T-Sun 10-7 Located on an awkward corner/turn, but there is a traffic light and parking.

I ordered the pho tai chin (pho with sliced rare beef steak and well-done brisket) to-go. It came with plenty of mung bean sprouts, Thai basil leaves, jalapeño slices, hoisin sauce, and a lime wedge in a bag. The basil leaves had some brown spots, so I didn't use them all. Overall, the pho was okay, but I wasn't blown away by the broth. I first tried to place the order online through Yelp but the order didn't go through, so I called to place my order and they had it ready in 20 minutes. They didn't ask what size I wanted (and the online ordering system didn't have size options either), so I'm assuming they only offer one size. I wish they had a smaller size option, because this was way too much food for me. On the bright side, they definitely don't skimp on the portions. The next time I'm craving beef pho, I'll probably go to Pho Van, but I'd come back to Tan My to try something else on their menu.

Visiting Austin and realize it's hard to find good Vietnamese food around here let alone authentic. So if you're looking for good authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place! This is family run and owned. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive and quick. Good spot to grab a quick bite (especially if you have a sudden craving). Clean inside and can fit large groups. Their signature Bun Bo Hue is very flavorful and not too salty like a lot of other places.

Delicious! Super happy to have found this place on a whim while in the area. We got bun with pork and cha gio, pho tai, and a Viet iced coffee. Bun with pork + egg rolls: so so good, and a huge portion. I don't think I've ever seen a portion this generous! Fresh veggies and the pork was the best. My only (and super minor) complaint is my cha gio were overdone so i don't think i got to experience what they really taste like. It's ok, next time :) Pho tai: my husband got this and he was super happy. Ca phe sua da: perfection. U get it fresh and hot to pour yourself and they're super generous with the condensed milk which i love. The coffee is super strong so it lasted me 2 days lol. Service is very friendly and fast. It's small and busy and for good reason! Will definitely be back soon!

My husband and are visiting for a few days. We've been eating good ole American food for the past few days. We were craving Asian food and figured we'd eat some Vietnamese food, given that we had a yummy Viet snack (summer rolls) in the morning at another city and was craving more. I found this place on Yelp and saw some pretty good reviews. We got there around 6pm on a Saturday. They were pretty packed. (That's a good sign. LOL) we got seated very quickly and the older gentleman took our order. My hubs got the #2 large pho and I got the Bun Bo Hue. Omg! These noodle soups hit the spot for us. It was so good. The bbh taste even better than a few places I've tried in Cali. ( I'm a Cali girl.) The pork blood was smooth and not gamy. It was a tad too spicy for me but that didn't stop me from eating that whole bowl of noodles. The meat was thinly sliced. The only complaint is that I wished they had some mint leaves to go with the bbh, but I improvised and threw in some basil. My hubs enjoyed his pho, but it didn't have a lot of tripe and tendon. Some reviews said the service wasn't great. I had a very different experience. The older guy who took our order came by to check in on us to see how was everything and one of the waiters refilled our water without having to waive someone down. Great food and great service.

My go-to for some of the best Bun (vermicelli) and Pho around. Service is fast and friendly, prices are reasonable, and the place is always packed with happy lunchers (they close at 3 pm these days). My #40 Bun (with grilled pork and egg rolls) is always excellent. The marinade on the pork is a bit sweet, but after the first bite or two, I am all in. They are generous with the egg roll, usually giving two small ones, and the noodles and veg are always just right. My lunch companion today said his order of Chicken Pho #19 was a mixed bag. The broth, he said, was possibly the best he'd ever had. But the chicken in his soup looked like it had been sliced off some ghastly chicken loaf, and he said that ruined it for him. He'd hoped for some nice shredded real chicken. He finished the broth and left the rest. He's not one to complain (unlike me), so when employees came by twice to ask if everything was okay, they only heard my praise. It's one of the better pho places around, and I know beef broth is the star, but they *really* need to up their chicken game.

Oh My! What an incredible authentic Vietnamese food. I have been searching for my go-to Viet restaurant and Tan My might just be it. Full disclosure I only had the Bun Bo Hue but it was authentic and delicious! It had every thing that it was supposed to and didn't skimp out on anything. All the correct meat, veggies, and pork blood were in the bowl! I will have to ask for more pork blood next time, it was so tender and so silky smooth, much like jello! Will be back to try more food!

Tan My is located in one of the tiniest strip malls ever, so head here early otherwise parking is definitely an issue. Not a ton of tables inside, and if you're at a table configuration for a larger group, you may be asked to shift around if your food hasn't come out in order to accommodate larger parties. It's all a bit informal. If you see an empty spot, feel free to grab it. Or they'll help seat you. All soups come in two sizes: small and large. Just a heads up about the large... It's a pretty big bowl. Their soups have good flavor - the pho with the beef base and the rice noodle soups with chicken/pork/shrimp seem to have a chicken base. No mater the size, they don't skimp on portions. And all soups come with a plate of mung beans, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime wedges. Rolls are rolled right and have a delicious peanut sauce. Shrimp fried rice has a good wok fired taste and loaded with shrimp. Stir fried noodles are equally yummy. And the best is the mix of 55b and 55c - wide flat chunks of rice noodle deep fried so they look likely crispy chunks of tofu, with chicken, shrimp and beef with broccoli and a basil brown sauce. This is a must try. Come hungry and come early. They take cards.
