Asian Noms
austin’s slacking a bit on authentic asian food, here are my favorites on repeat!
Vua Bún Bò
Address: 10901 N Lamar Blvd # A101, Austin, TX 78753
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Our Favorites: bun bo hue
franchised from Houston, TX. Haven’t been to that one, but can say this is the best BBH in Austin!
1618 Asian Fusion
Address: 1618 E Riverside Dr, Austin, TX 78741
Cuisine: Vietnamese & Thai Fusion
Our Favorites: duck skewers, oxtail pho, peking duck, flaming cheesecake
this is our classic go to for dim sum (not authentic - but still good) and peking duck when we’re craving it. if you go with friends, highly recommend the whole fish to share! DO NOT SKIP THE FLAMIN’ CHEESECAKE — its worth the experience!
NG Cafe
Address: 13000 North Interstate 35, #200 Austin, TX 78753
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Our Favorites: Bánh Mì classic combo (thập cẩm) and grilled pork (thịt nướng)
our favorite banh mi place in the city, it’s family owned and if you eat in, you also get a free soup!
Uncle Phan's Fresh Tofu Restaurant
Address: 10901 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78753
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Our Favorites: bun rieu, banh canh
this reminds me of the asian deli’s i used to go to growing up. they have freshly made tofu and other vietnamese snacks/entrees.
An Nyeong K-Tofu & BBQ
Address: 5011 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78756
Cuisine: Korean
Our Favorites: spicy marinated crab, galbi tang, bibimbop, galbi, spicy cold noodles (Arrowroot)
when i’m craving comfort Korean food - this is it. Austin doesn’t have any solid kbbq places yet :(
