Best Pho in Austin

If you wish to try what many consider to be the best Pho in Austin, look no further than Tan My Restaurant. This is a small local establishment which has been in the community for years. The staff is friendly and personable, and will often times get to know patrons on a first name basis. There are several regulars who have come to love this hidden Austin gem. Sip on broth that is said to be “magical” and try one of the many delicious fried noodle dishes as well.

Authentic Home Cooking

The food served at Tan My is nothing but the most authentic and quality Vietnamese around. From elite Yelpers to the Vietnamese who live in Austin, Tan My is the spot to go. Many patrons rave that the broth in the soup dishes remind them of being at home, and compare it to the likes of something as good (if not better) than what mom or grandma would make. So if you are ever having a rough day and want to feel like you are back at home, this is the place for you to be. Even the owners and staff make their customers feel warm and welcomed, as if they had been away all day, only to come home to Tan My and be nurtured back to health with some spicy Bun Bo Hue.

Outstanding Service

One thing that customers cannot stop raving about from their experiences at Tan My (other than the food) is the great service. The staff is incredibly friendly, and will remember repeat customers by face and name. They also work at a very fast speed, to ensure that everyone’s needs are met in an efficient manner. The staff has that extra something special that makes patrons feel warm and welcomed, appreciated, and well cared for. Combine that with the crowd pleasing food, and you have a great place to come to for solace and recharging.

Simple Ambiance

Much like other hidden gems, this restaurant doesn’t overdue it on the ambiance. Tan My keeps the décor simple, and to a minimum in a minimalistic and clean manner, which allows the emphasis to be solely on the food and the people. They offer table service, carryout and a private parking lot. There is no alcohol served at Tan My, and it is a place that is id friendly, and can accommodate for groups. There is no WiFi or television, so come prepared to enjoy nice conversation and heart-warming, light fare

Generous Portions

Even through the fare is light and healthy, the portion sizes are not. Many customers claim that the portion sizes are huge, and they are typically unable to finish an entire helping. This is not a problem for most, as many like to share a couple of dishes, then take the leftovers home to enjoy another splendid meal once their dining experience is through. This isn’t to say that customers leave feeling overstuffed either. Many claim that even though they are able to consume a lot of food in one sitting, they leave feeling satiated and happy, rather than overstuffed and bloated. This is due to the fact that the food is so light and healthy, made with wonderful spices and culinary technique rather than MSGs.
