Great portion sizes, loved the Bahn Mi and lemon grass chicken! Will 100% come back for both. Multiple servings for each item! I know my photo isn't the cutest but trust me it's delicious

I got this for takeout through an app and I was very impressed! I got the beef meatball pho and the portion size was great. The broth was reallly good. It was my first pho in Austin and I would definitely get it again. They do charge 1.20 for hoisin which I was a little annoyed about especially because the bean sprouts came with a hoisin sauce already which I did not know. Otherwise a good selection for takeout.

Good casual spot for delicious and very affordable pho and Vietnamese dishes. The menu is extensive making it easy to find something for everyone, and the food came out quickly. While the restaurant is small, it wasn't overly crowded, and I was able to be seated with a party of two right away on a Friday night. The space was also very clean and well-maintained.

always love the Pho and I order extra vegetables! delicious with a good portion size I have only done take out. it's packaged well and hot!

One of my favorite establishments in Austin closed down recently, and it left me high and dry for one of my favorite dishes; seafood vermicelli. I just happened to be nearby here today and noticed they were open so I thought I would give it a try. Lovely, quiet place with polite, efficient, and friendly service, I ordered my beloved plate, and I was not disappointed, the dish was packed with seafood, lots of fresh crunchy vegetables, and accompanied by a delicious fish sauce. They also carry my favorite Asian beer- Tsingtao - served ice cold. I will definitely be coming back.

It was good but not amazing.... Maybe it was just the dishes I ordered which were garlic and scallops and then also we ordered the special dong nai beef ribs in pho. I thought the garlic scallops was a little bit too sour tasting. The beef ribs were good but since it's pho it's not super flavorful. Maybe I just like Thai better....

I've come to this place several times since they were remodeled a couple of years ago and it never disappoints. The pho broth is really flavorful and comes with quality meats and veggies. The bahn mis are tasty and are easily two meals for myself. This time, I decided to try something different. I got the Spicy Noodle Soup which was amaaaazing. The broth is more salty and fatty as opposed to the herbal, clear pho broth. It also comes with a big beef rib which was a surprise. It is a perfect rainy day dish that I look forward to having again in the future.

I've been coming to Dong Nai occasionally for a few years. It wasn't a top 3 Pho spot for me in Austin but a "good" choice if I was around the area for lunch that was convenient given the ample parking in the large target parking lot + quick service that was used to bussing in folks coming in for a quick lunch break. They've redone the interior with a fresh new buildout and the ambiance today is a lot cleaner than the hole-in-the-wall vibes of old. Can't argue with clean new floors, fixtures, tables, and menus while still maintaining that strong immigrant efficiency. I wasn't a frequent diner but I also feel as if they've improved the quality of the food itself since I was last there. Whereas before I would not have pegged them in the "Top" pho list of Austin, their house special - the Dong Nai - which includes a fried soybean roll (which feels more Taiwanese than Vietnamese but delicious is delicious!) is actually insanely good. We often also get the shumai appetizer which is a solid B for Austin and what you end up with is a pretty tasty meal. I still can't imagine coming to Dong Nai for dinner, but I think the way they've stepped up their entire game over the past few years is memorable and I may find myself coming here for lunch much more often.
