Phở Phi Restaurant — Restaurant in Austin

The food was pretty good, I ordered pho with beef and tendon. The broth was delicious, the toppings could be more fresh, but it was fine. I really enjoyed the oolong tea, it was delicious. Service was fast and the servers were attentive and helpful. So why 3 stars? I would’ve given it 5 stars except they kept their toppings in ziplock bags and their utensils and paper napkins in a sandwich bag kind of thing. Maybe for sanitary purposes? To me it’s just unnecessary plastic. It’s hard enough as it is to use less plastic but when restaurants add even more plastic even though you’re dining in - it’s just so unnecessary to me.

Our oceans are literally polluted with plastic that it’s washing up on shores all over the world. Marine life are often found with micro plastics in their stomachs. It’s a big issue and every body needs to help solve this issue, especially businesses!

The toppings can be placed in a bowl or a reusable container, and the spoon and napkin don’t need to be in plastic, just put it on a plate.

Using less plastic makes a business look more professional as well, it makes a business look better. Businesses that care and show they care are always going to be the better business. I would much rather buy food from a place where they cared about things like plastic pollution than a...

𝙁𝙊𝙊𝘿 😍: I ordered the large pho with brisket and flank and it was heavenly, huge portions, fresh greens, crispy jalapeños. The best pho I've had since my favorite spot shut down. And it's only $13 for ALL large bowls ANY protein. The shrimp and tofu spring rolls are also top notch.

𝙎𝙀𝙍𝙑𝙄𝘾𝙀 😕: it was lacking, the store wasn't very busy but more than anything it felt like we were a burden to the staff, I'm polite, patient and personable, did nothing to make them annoyed and was very apologetic since I felt that way.

The gentleman with the arm-band tattoos is the first guy that smiled at me when he ran to return my glasses case, that alone changed my mind about visiting again.

the restaurant was barely a third full and we had three waiters come to our table to take our order after we already placed it then brought they wrong thing over twice, would be TOTALLY fine and ignored if they were any amount of kind,

I sound like a Karen but I'm for real just a sensible dude that has worked as a waiter and it's simply not hard to just be kind.
