On occasion I like to write about the nooks and crannies around town, places I’ve lived, or traveled to. This category, Nites Out, is a special section for eating outside of my own kitchen! Search for Nites Out to find more places to dine…
Tân Tân was the original name of this Vietnamese Noodle restaurant when Hubby and I were dating. We would meet here for lunch quite often (this was pre-children. You know, back when you actually had money for lunch?). Well the new name Tân Mý did not mean a new owner, thankfully. The same older gentleman, and his family, continue to run this small phở hotspot.
If you are in the mood for a good phở, the Tân Mý is the place to go. I will warn you that this is a very small restaurant and your noodle slurping will not go unnoticed by the patrons sitting next to you. And I mean right next to you. At the same table. For this reason alone it’s a good idea to get there early.
I love the jasmine tea. I always order it, even if it’s the middle of summer. Today I tried the Egg Noodle BBQ Pork soup, it delivered big time. A small bowl is plenty for the famished diner, and this will cost you less than 7 bucks. If you don’t like pork (and I could not understand why – pork fat rules, but this is incredibly lean… anywho) there are plenty of other options to indulge in. Beyond phở the menu includes fried noodle dishes, the lemongrass ones are awesome, and I’m sure they’re all delicious. I just realized they have desserts on the menu too. I’m always stuffed, so there’s never any room for sweets afterwards. Maybe next time…
We’ve tried other phở places and this one stands above the rest. If you are in Austin, find them here.
