Reviews for NG Cafe in Austin, TX

Today I was struck by an irresistible craving for mango sticky rice. That's when I found Ng Cafe. It's near my place of work,... but I'd never tried it before. Then I saw that the bread and tofu are housemade, so I HAD to get a tofu banh mi. Totally blownaway by how good my food was. The tofu was super fresh, lightly fried with LOTS of black pepper, just how I like it. The breadwas amazingly crusty and chewy. The mango sticky rice was absolute perfection... Very saucy, slightly savory, and not too sweet!Generous slice of ripe mango too. I will be coming back here. I need to try all of their other dishes!!! The inside of therestaurant had a cool vibe too, so I won't do takeout next time. Read more

First time I had it the grilled pork banh mi it was amazing, best I?d had in years since the places I used to love for banh mi... had closed or their banh mi?s had worsened in quality. This past Sunday I finally went back but this time the banh mi was justalright. I could hardly taste the mayo, and it had too much butter on it (butter was literally dripping out). I think mayo goesreally well with all the veggies on it, and of course after it being the best banh the first time I was really disappointed.After seeing the size of the sandwich I added a slice of mango cheesecake, I figured with how hungry I was that the sandwichalone wouldn?t fill me up, plus I couldn?t resist. It was delicious, but $5 for a small slice of cheesecake is a lot. I?dprobably give the banh mi another try sometime because I?m hoping it was just a fluke. Read more

Delicious and cozy mom n pop shop! They have a good variety of food which, for most options is worth the price! All the food... options are well sauced - we got Fried Tofu, the Pad See Ew, Orange Chicken, and Beef Noodles, and all had an authentic taste toit. But the best part of this place is the friendly staff. While it isn?t necessarily the highest quality, largest portion, orcheapest Asian cuisine option, it is a mix of all three! Highly recommend for a good lunch meal. Read more

Loved this place! NG House Noodles, Drunken Noodles, Spring rolls, shredded pork Banh Mi, lemon and shortbread cookies were all... excellent! Rib-eye banh mi was great 9.5/10 Read more

First time coming here, and I completely understand the rating. Wow!! We ordered Crab Rangoon, and Golden Tofu for appetizers... which were so simply, yet delicious. We also tried the NG House Noodles with chicken, and Evil Jungle Curry, both had amazingflavor. The range of dishes and desserts they serve blew my mind. At a great price too: 2 apps, 2 main dishes, 2 soups, a mangocheesecake and Korean sweet buttercream bread all for $50.00. Definitely recommend. There are not enough kind words I can giveto the owner's who make everything fresh. Amazing!! Read more

This is a cute small viet thai place. Very friendly and welcoming owners. Service was fast. Food was fresh and amazing. We had... the tofu Bahn mi and it was one of the best I have had. The baguette was cruchy on the outside and the inside was warm and soft. They make their baguettes fresh in house. We also had drunken noodles and that was spot on as well Read more

Delicious food and quick service after you order at the counter. Both chicken & tofu options were good. For chicken we ordered... 3/5 spice level and felt it could have been least one more level. Read more

We ordered through chowbus and the seals placed on the bag were secure. However, we weren?t given any utensils or napkins. We... got the papaya salad spice level 4. Such a generous amount!! Delicious shrimp and lots of shredded papaya and carrots. I alwayslove my peanuts and baby tomatoes. Spice did not taste like a level 4 it tasted like a spice level 1. I mentioned since it wasan order for delivery to add more of the sauce and they delivered. So much sauce. Perfect. But overall, it was stilldelicious. We also ordered the Ng House Noodles spice level 3 (spiciest option for the noodles). We had the fried tofu with itand it was delicious! Spice wasn?t up to par. I mentioned in the notes to not add bean sprouts, but there were still beansprouts. Overall, really good food during our football game besides the other things mentioned. We will be back. Thanks!
