Your A List: Best Vietnamese Restaurant
There’s no such thing as a great American city without superior, preferably inexpensive Vietnamese food. There, I said it.
Thankfully, Austin, once without much to claim to Vietnamese cuisine, now hosts numerous outlets for phờ, gỏi cuốn bún, and bánh mì.The race for the top Vietnamese spot on the A List readers poll this year pitted Kim Phung (just over 16 percent of the vote) against Pho Hoang (just under 16 percent).
Four others — Sunflower, Hai Ky, 888 and Tam Cafe and Deli — bunched together at 10 to 12 percent of the tally.
Mekong River and Pho Van tied exactly at just under 8 percent. Saigon Kitchen and Triumph Cafe rounded out the list at 5 percent.

Cool...the *really* best Vietnamese restaurants are still a secret because they are not on this list - yet they are always highly populated with Vietnamese patrons. And you know what that means...
