Tasty! We came here late on a Thursday evening and absolutely had a ball. We tried the pho and beef báhn mi. Both were equally tasty. We came at closing time but didn’t feel rushed or pressured. Great service and great vibes. 10/10 Bánh Mis 🥪

The food was very delicious. It was my first time visiting Austin and my cousin decided to take me here. The service was quick and our server was very attentive. I loved the food so much and would definitely come back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The food is just so good. We’ve tried so many things on the menu and have loved it all. Only complaint is service and be a little slow and the seating is tight because it’s a small restaurant but the rest of the experience makes up for it. If you’re looking for great Vietnamese food in the Austin area, this is the spot.

This place is very cute! The beignets were incredible. Super airy and fresh. I also got the lime fried chicken banh mi which was super tasty! Would be back for more :) The place is pretty busy but vibes are still great!

Authentic, Flavorful, and Unforgettable Elizabeth Vietnamese Restaurant nails it with bold, authentic flavors and a cozy, inviting vibe. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted—fresh, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. The Paloma with a mezcal twist was a highlight: refreshing, smoky, and perfectly balanced. I enjoyed a relaxed afternoon on the patio with my dog, and it was pure bliss. Can’t wait to come back!

We’re visiting Austin and all of us agree that Elizabeth Street has been our favorite meal. The spring rolls, chili oil dumplings, Singapore noodles, steak fried rice, chocolate mousse and croissant beignets were all amazing. Our server, Anna, was great. The atmosphere is lovely. Definitely worth a visit or ten.

LOVED everything about Elizabeth st cafe!!!All the servers were very friendly, and kept checking in on us. The decor and atmosphere was immaculate especially with all the outdoor seating for a sunny day. And of course the food was all delicious. A good menu with a lot to choose from including banh mi and pho, but we went for summer rolls, fried rice rolls and grilled fish bun vermicelli bowl. They were all delicious! 10/10! A good majority of the menu was also gluten-free friendly.

The spring rolls, pork belly buns, Saints and Sunsets mocktails, and Opera cake were delicious. My friend really liked her fried rice. I ordered the banh cuon, and although it was tasty with very authentic flavors, the steamed rice batter itself was quite thick. Pro: You get full really fast on just the dough. Con: You miss out on the tasty pork fillings, and like me, if you're visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel, you have to leave behind half the dish because you can't take back leftovers.

We went to dinner as a group of nine and arrived without a reservation. Even so, we were seated quickly (at separate tables), which worked out perfectly since the restaurant filled up shortly after. The place is very nice, especially the terrace. The weather was great and the area is calm, with little traffic, making the atmosphere very pleasant. The service was excellent. Our waiter, Mark, gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the buns (the order comes with two, but they added an extra one), had the grilled chicken thigh banh mi with generous portions, and finished with the drunken beef noodles. The beef was delicious and flavorful, though it is spicy — something they let you know in advance. Overall, a great experience and a place I would definitely visit again.

Visited Elizabeth Street Café with a friend and had a really nice experience. The place itself is beautiful and cozy, and the staff was polite and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We ordered the Ginger-Chili Oil Dumplings, Spicy Chicken Crunch Spring Rolls, Mushroom & Tofu Bun, and Chicken Banh Mi. The Chicken Banh Mi and the Dumplings were absolutely amazing and full of flavor — easily the highlights of the meal. The Spring Rolls and Mushroom & Tofu Bun were decent but felt more on the average side compared to the standout dishes. We also tried their French Toast, and it was excellent — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and definitely something I’d recommend trying. Overall, Elizabeth Street Café offers a great combination of good food, pleasant ambience, and friendly service. I’d happily come back again, especially for the Banh Mi, Dumplings, and French Toast. Must-try: Chicken Banh Mi, Ginger-Chili Oil Dumplings & French Toast

Elizabeth Street Cafe on South Lamar in Austin is a culinary delight, masterfully blending the sophistication of French cuisine with the bold flavors of Vietnamese heritage. The ambiance echoes this fusion, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere. The Vietnamese wonton soup, a creative reinterpretation of the classic French onion soup, was a highlight of our visit. Rich, comforting, and perfectly suited to a chilly evening, it showcased the cafe's ability to reimagine familiar dishes with unexpected flair. The Bahn Coun was a testament to the kitchen's skill, with tender, expertly cooked meat and a harmonious balance of textures and flavors. Each component was carefully crafted to elevate the dish as a whole. Dessert was a symphony of refined indulgence: the macarons were delicate, nuanced confections, while the chocolate sesame puff was a sublime marriage of crispy, nutty, and rich elements, a true tour de force of textural contrast and flavor pairing. Overall, Elizabeth Street Cafe delivers a distinctive and captivating dining experience, one that will appeal to adventurous palaters and those seeking a sophisticated take on traditional flavors.

Solid meal, really great service and an amazing vibe! All the dishes are solid, but the French toast is REALLY good. So good in fact, that I ate it before I thought to take a photo. Highly recommend getting everything as family style and splitting it up!

My husband and I visited Elisabeth Street Café on a Sunday for a late lunch, and street parking nearby was easy to find. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and, since we had a reservation, promptly shown to our table. The tables are set quite close together - so, at times when the noise level is not deafening, it kind of feels like a large banquet table as one can overhear conversations from nearby guests. Overall, I had two main concerns during our visit: Noise level: the restaurant was extremely loud. Voices from a large table carried throughout the room, making it difficult to hear my husband even when sitting directly across from him. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, and I would recommend that management consider adding sound-absorbing panels to help balance the acoustics. Food spiciness: while the flavors were bold, the redfish dish was overwhelmingly spicy. I usually tolerate heat quite well, but this level of spice left me with severe reflux, which is very uncommon for me. It would be helpful if the staff asked guests about their spice tolerance before serving dishes prepared with such intensity. Elisabeth Street Café has great potential, with a lovely ambiance and attentive service, but addressing the noise and spice-level concerns would make the dining experience much more enjoyable.

The food was outstanding, a solid 50/10. The presentation, dish choices, flavors, and temperature were all amazing. However, the service left much to be desired. I initially thought I could give them the benefit of the doubt, considering they were transitioning into dinner service, but I was never offered anything to drink beyond the water that their attentive busser provided. Even though I was dining alone, I had to encourage a family of three to seek out their server. The inattentiveness of the staff was frustrating, and I can't honestly recommend this place for a dining experience but I would for take out.

Been coming here for years now and this place will always be a comfort place for me <3 Pho is okay but their Mango and Cucumber Salad, Broiled Escargot, and Beignets are heavenlyyy

Beautiful place, full of tasteless food claiming to be Vietnamese 😕 Vietnam is known for its rich, yet light, aromatic umami food that brings complexity and depth while maintaining simple, light and refreshing. The food here really didn’t bring the flavors I know and love, being Vietnamese. I’ve had Bánh mì far better out of trucks, If you want to try Banh mi that is really Vietnamese, please got to Baguette House on North Lamar. Or Cơm Tấm Pa Phi. Pho from Pho Dan is also a great pick. The chicken Pho was underwhelming :( and very bland. There was no Vietnamese pickled vegetables in my sandwhich. And if there was Pa Te I didn’t taste it. It just makes me sad because to me Vietnamese food is so special, and they are boasting of having authentic Vietnamese food with Vietnamese names but just aren’t executing it and slandering what Vietnamese food really is. I’m assuming the good reviews are from people who don’t eat Vietnamese Food. Despite appetizing visuals; the flavor didn’t suffice or measure up

The food was really lacking for the price. $22 for a bowl of Pho. The pho broth was really bland, and the beef was very scarce. The broth was very hot which was good. But overall it was really lacking. For those who know Pho and appreciate quality Pho, this isn’t for you. To be honest it’s probably some of the most average pho I’ve had. Saved only by the atmosphere. Restaurant Atmosphere and service were lovely.

worst phở i’ve ever had. if you come here please order something else. Genuinely atrocious. Please change chefs or recipes or whatever, or stop calling yourself a viet restaurant if the phở is this bad. Not even mediocre. It was just plain terrible 💀💀💀💀💀
