Dong Nai is the spot! A hidden gem in Austin, serving delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. I discovered this establishment on New Year’s Day, when my usual go-to Vietnamese restaurants were closed. And I’m so glad they were, leading me to this spot! The interior design of this restaurant has a “Mom and Pop” feel to it, and the food is absolutely amazing. I ordered the “Beef Rib” Pho (Absolutely amazing and highly recommend) and Pork Fried Egg Rolls. Both were authentic and absolutely mouth-watering delicious! This is the high quality caliber of Vietnamese food I am accustomed to growing up in Southern California. Absolutely recommend this place to all my Pho Lovers. Friendly and timely service. This place needs to be rated much higher than it is!

I wanted to like this place bc I heard it was affordable on Reddit. Unfortunately when I got there the bahn mi prices had been raised by almost 30% even though the menu pic with prices had been uploaded only 7 months ago 🥲 I guess that’s the price for quality. I wouldn’t have minded if the waitress hadn’t laughed at us for having questions about the menu, and then another server came up to tell me i was the first female he had seen who finished the 15(?) inch bahn mi😭. I feel like that means I should have got it for free? It was very good tho. Will probably go back and try to save room for the mango sticky rice. Sorry for being a fat American

Ate at Dong Nai in Austin about an hour before closing, and there were still plenty of guests dining in. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. There’s a great variety of dishes to choose from, and everything tasted fresh and home-style, which I love. The wings were so good omg. The salt and pepper calamari also 10/10. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!!

I'm not a sandwich person, but have to admit that Dong Nai's shrimp Bahn Mi was outstanding. The bread was crispy and hot. It was sweet and fresh, filled with a whole bunch of crispy shrimp. It was as long as my forearm, and large enough for two. We shared the crispy pepper calamari, egg-drop soup, and the shrimp vermicelli. All these were decent. The wide array of $6 glasses of wine can't be beat. The staff were very attentive and nice. This restaurant was nothing fancy but definitely worth another visit in the near future...
