Saigon Cafe - Lakeway

This is our new favorite Thai and Vietnamese place. It's a small restaurant but the food is mighty good We got the Tom yum pho and it is out of this world. We also tried cashew chicken, pad Kee mow amd spring rolls and every thing was flavorful. One note: The Thai sautes and noodles are little on the sweet side but nothing that can't be fixed by adding some hot sauce

Some of the best Pho I have had since coming to Austin 3yrs. ago. I have been wanting some pho forever and found this place on Yelp. It's a no fills and thrills kind of place but the lady (may be the owner) was really nice and friendly. I went last night about an hour before closing. There were three groups of people eating and every other table in the house was dirty. Again they were about to close soon. But you can tell they had really good business. People really liked them. As I waited for my to go order there people constantly coming in and out picking up orders. I ordered beef pho and spring roll. Large pho was about $18 but so worth it. Broth was so flavorful. If you are in the area and really want some pho try this place.

Good, basic family owned Vietnamese restaurant with all the Vietnamese essentials Texas has come to love, like phở soups bún bowls. Meats in the dishes are very well seasoned tasty, the broths in the phở soups fish sauce used in bún bowls are delicious. My only complaint is the seafood phở is listed on the menu as having squid in it when it does not. It has shrimp, fish balls, immigration crab meat (the stuff generally made out of whiting fish) which was disappointing for me because I love squid in a good seafood phở. If they can't get squid or just no longer chose to use it, then they need to update the menu or least tell patrons when they order it. I must say their fish balls in the soup are fabulous, though. Anyway, I'm so glad to see that you can start to travel away from the more coastal areas of Texas and find these small family owned Vietnamese restaurants with all if the unique Vietnamese dishes. I certainly hate when we travel outside of Texas and can't find Vietnamese food. It's my go to travel food!

This is one of those situations where you should not judge a book by it’s cover. Saigon Cafe in a tiny little strip mall on Hudson Bend Rd. is amazing. We get the spicy lemongrass noodles with tofu and vegetables. Perfect level of spice and sooo flavorful. We love how they prepare their tofu too. It has a great texture and is nicely browned. Great for vegans! I mean just look at it! It’s a thing of beauty! My husband and I could literally eat this every day.

The staff here are so nice and welcoming! Great ambience and service, definitly recommended this place if you're in the area and craving some great food
