Today we remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our great country. We hope you have a great Memorial Day!

Many say that Pho Viet serves some of the most authentic Vietnamese food in the greater Austin area. The eatery's lengthy menu lists traditional favorites such as eggrolls, noodle soup, and broccoli and beef, as well as vermicelli bowls and a combination clay pot consisting of shrimp and chicken.

Pho Viet is located inside a large strip shopping mall, so the outdoor appeal may be lacking. However, the service is cordial and friendly, and the atmosphere is much quieter than what one would expect from such a popular restaurant. The colored walls, dark wood tables and chairs, and drop lighting help to add to the comforting feel of the restaurant, making it an ideal restaurant for both families and those celebrating a special event.
