" I was really looking forward to trying Het Say after hearing so many good things. I had the lemongrass tofu rice bowl and my partner had the pho. The rice bowl was generously portioned, and the tofu was perfectly caramelized—absolutely delicious! My partner loved the pho, too. However, the service was a bit slow and it took longer than expected for our food to arrive, which was unfortunate. Still, the food made up for the wait. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone seeking Vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a gem in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Het Say for the first time recently, and it definitely won't be my last. The beef pho was exceptionally good, with a rich broth that had just the right amount of spice. The spring rolls were fresh and crispy, complemented nicely by their homemade peanut sauce. The service staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that our dining experience was enjoyable. Atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a casual dinner. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at Het Say. The food was flavorful, and I loved the cozy atmosphere. The braised pork belly was heavenly, and the jasmine tea was perfectly brewed. The only thing I wish was that the service had been a bit more prompt, but they were genuinely nice. Overall a great experience, and I would revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time here, and I was pleased! The pho was delicious, filled with layers of flavor. The staff was very attentive and checked up on us often. The bao buns were yummy too! I can't wait to take my friends here next time. Perfect spot for anyone looking for genuine Vietnamese comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Het Say based on recommendations and it didn't disappoint! The seafood pho was divine, with fresh shrimp and a light broth that was flavorful without being overpowering. The service staff were friendly, which added to the overall experience. I will say though, the seating was tight—so if you don't mind being close to other diners, you'll enjoy your visit. Would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Het Say given its ratings, but I found the food to be just average. The pho broth didn’t have the depth of flavor I was accustomed to, and the lemongrass chicken was okay at best—decent but nothing special. On the plus side, the service was friendly, and the place was clean and comfortable. Maybe I should have tried the spring rolls or another dish instead, as they are frequently recommended. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little Vietnamese spot surprised me with its authentic flavors! The pho had a deep, satisfying broth, and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable. I really felt at home here. I ordered the pork banh mi, which was tasty but lacked a bit of crunch in the baguette. I'll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
