After a long day we found the gem next to our Air BnB. Great food. I had chicken pho, my son had sip bowl or Beef pho with all the bits. We share a grilled pork plate and the pork was tender and flavorful. We will be eating there again.

Definitely one of my favorite pho spots in Austin! The food itself is wonderful and the atmosphere is also great. It’s can get a bit crowded here so if you’re coming during peak hours I’d definitely make that a consideration. When it comes to the pho itself, the broth is really delicious as it comes without adding any typical ingredients such as the chili paste, lime, etc. I got the beef broth with double rare steak tenderloin and the meat was a fair portion and very tender. After adding a bit of chili paste, lime, and black pepper, the pho reached its ultimate form! Definitely recommend giving this spot a try!

A friend of mine said he hadn’t had good pho since he moved to Austin, so I took him here and the food did not disappoint. He ordered the beef broth with flank and tenderloin, and I ordered the shrimp bao and the vegan pho. Everything was great. I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the vegan pho broth was. The noodles were deliciously chewy. The bao were pillowy. They give student and military discounts which is awesome. Very clean, nice space with friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely return.

Sean took our orders and she was great! Even though it was her first day, she answered our questions and made great suggestions!

Best pho with best drinks. I've been here several times and sometimes just for the bubble tea. I tried black sugar, matcha, and taro. All of them are very tasty.

The beef pho’s portion is pretty large and the taste is good, little bit sweet? But overall is a good pho.
Vietnamese coffee is refreshing and not too sweet. Worth a try:)

I think it's worth the rating it has. However, I personally didn't think their pho was that good. I am a huge fan of their Bahn Mi sandwiches though, they're delicious!

Great great great spot for pho! I always bring my gals here when we’re looking to grab pho as they have a wide variety on the menu, are cost effective, and have lots of seating! I’m a big fan of the chicken pho, and even there non pho options are quite good:)

This is my go-to Vietnamese restaurant. I loved the Bon mi & you have to try the brown sugar brule bobba (if you don't have a texture thing), it's worth the up charge. The aesthetic is super cute & the staff is very friendly. It is near campus, so depending on the time of day, it can be quite busy, but it's worth it, and the food is usually served quickly regardless.

Love this place! Ordered seafood pho, beef pho, egg rolls and thai tea. They were all tasty! I will come back with my friends.

I stopped by this place by chance and it is a great restaurant. There was no flaw. I hope your business goes well.

This place is by my temporary apartment near west campus. I went to school here back in 2007, and I honestly don't remember many Vietnamese spots near campus. I've lived in Austin for a while. Back in the day I used to stop in Tam Deli, which looks like a hole in the wall. I admit.

Haven't been that way in a couple of years, but once upon a time, they had pretty excellent food. Nothing fancy, but I've never gotten the sandwiches. Any time I try Vietnamese food stomach points me more towards a steamed meal. I'll have to try one soon.

About Sip Pho. I got my food cold. But that was probably my problem. The website said it'd be ready in 30 minutes. My intuition told me 12 tops. I went ahead and waited, but next time I would at least drop in around 15 or so. If you have to wait, it's a spacey environment. Anyway, so, accounting how long I waited to go pick it up, it was so good I ate it cold. The place mostly caters to younger crowd. But I'm certainly going to be coming back for pick up.

I always like to eat some nutritious food with a little bit well-cooked meat cooked in. I can appreciate their hustle. Well done, Sip.

Delicioussss! Highly recommend vermicelli bowls (wish they had a tofu option) and their bao buns. Where are the springs rolls at tho!

Had a craving for viet food and decided to check this place out Got the beef pho broth with the meat balls and rare meat. This broth is okay and the meat balls are okay too. It’s also a bit pricey and I wish they had different sizes. A plus is that they have lime, onion, and jalapeños in a cart so you can grab it yourself.

Service was great. Loved the decor.

Pho was really tasty and had a sweet flavor! We ordered lemongrass beef banh mi, pork belly baos, and beef pho and all were really flavorful and good portions! I also got the Vietnamese coffee with boba and really liked that you could add how ever much sweetened condensed milk to your cup so it wasn’t too sweet!

Probably the best Pho in central Austin Texas. They need plastic or reusable cups instead of paper otherwise good good pho.

Business partners and I from Dallas came into the restaurant as we’ve done plenty of times before. Big red flag we immediately noticed was that all of previous managers were no where to be found. After asking around, I was informed by other employees that the managers had quit and that owner has been taking tips for herself and drastically reducing paychecks despite having raised their prices almost three times in the previous year. It’s such a shame that despite how student oriented the restaurant is, that something like this is happening, and employees are unable to get any transparency regarding their pay.

Quality of food has also changed. Noodles are soggier than ever, rice is often dry, and everything is expensive despite being the exact same food as their sister restaurant, pho please (which we stopped going to due to their roach infestation).

Change is often a good sign In restaurants, but after our most recent experience, I believe it’s best to take our business elsewhere where the quality of food matches the ethics of the owners.

Not gonna say this is the best pho spot in town. But it’s pretty good and I actually like the rice bowls more, great stuff. Solid pick in the UT area.

So my friend already posted a review, but here is my perspective. The restaurent is fine, but that one server there is terrible. I'm from houston and my friend went to sip pho many time want to introduce the place. Omg, what an impression of Austin. How on earth this restaurent have so many good reviews, but have that kind of customer service. My first time in life got this treatment from a restaurant. I'm shocked.but anyway, I think she new. Cause no way she can survive that long in this kind of customer service industry. Good luck to the restaurent, and hope them fix it soon for the business sake.cuz wow.
