" I was excited to try Pho Van after reading positive reviews, but I found the food to be average. The pork was decent but lacked seasoning. The pho was okay, but I expected a bolder flavor profile. The service was acceptable, although the staff seemed preoccupied with other duties. It’s a clean place, but the vibe felt a bit lacking. I'd be open to giving it another try, possibly with a different dish, but my initial impression wasn't stellar. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho Van has officially become my favorite Vietnamese restaurant! As someone who craves authentic flavors, I was so happy with their pho. The broth was rich with spices, something I've been searching for around town. I also tried the banh mi, which was the perfect balance of crunchy bread and savory filling. The staff treated us like family and were attentive to our needs. The decor is simple yet comfortable. I’ll definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much praise, I finally visited Pho Van and unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The broth of the pho lacked the depth I was hoping for, and I found the meat portions kind of skimpy compared to other places I've tried. The atmosphere felt basic, and even though it was clean, it didn't have a cozy feel. Service was okay, but nothing stood out. I'm willing to give it another shot as the reviews are so positive, but I'm not convinced yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Pho Van by accident while searching for good eats in Austin, and I couldn't be happier! The pho was fantastic with a depth of flavor that I missed from other restaurants. The herbs served on the side were fresh, allowing me to customize my bowl perfectly. I also indulged in their grilled shrimp summer rolls, which complemented the meal beautifully. The ambiance was low-key, yet charming, making for a relaxed dining experience. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was recommended Pho Van by a friend, and it didn't disappoint! The pho was comforting and satisfying, exactly what I needed that day. The service was attentive, and the owner even stopped by to check on us. While the atmosphere is pretty basic, the food more than makes up for it. Can't wait to come back for another bowl! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit Pho Van, I'm reminded of my travels in Vietnam. The food is genuinely delicious and comforting—a true taste of home! Their pho has a wonderfully aromatic broth, and I love how they serve the fresh herbs for customization! The atmosphere is homely, and the service is always quick. I'm delighted to have found this gem in Austin and look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho Van has a special place in my heart. I visited for the first time on recommendation from a coworker, and I was blown away! We shared a variety of dishes, including the pho and their delightful dumplings. Everything was bursting with flavor, and I particularly loved the noodle soups! It felt authentic with the right touch of spices. The staff were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. I'll be recommending this spot to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
