Category Archives: Living in Austin

I came to Austin, TX in the Fall of ’89 to go to UT. And since then have called this home. Having lived here ~20 years, and counting, I have not lived anywhere else longer.

My favorite Pho Restaurant in Austin. I’ve tried both of their locations (on Burnet and around Round Rock). Though the RR locations seemed to have a few extra choices in menu that the original did not, I still prefer the location on Burnet & Rutland.

PhoNatic Vietnamese Cuisine

I really miss not being close to PhoNatic. It was one of my favorite lunch spots. I worked within walking distance from it, it was relatively inexpensive (it could get fairly expensive if you were not careful), service was both quick / prompt and courteous.

Unfortunately I no longer work in that area and have not visited PhoNatic in over a couple of years.

Apr 26th, ’13 – My very first (and so far, ONLY) visit. Went for lunch from work. It was really good. I chose the “Veggie” with Spicy (), Mayu () and Kamaboko (Steamed Fish) Add-Ons and Tatsuta Age (marinated boneless fried Chicken) as side.

In-N-Out

My first, and so far only, In-N-Out experience was during a work related trip to the West Coast way back in 2008.

Double Doubles Hand Cut Fries

But lately the word has been that is going to be not just 1 but 2 locations close to where I live!!!! The first location is close to the Round Rock Outlet Mall, the 2nd around I-35 and Airport Blvd.

There is also some talk about a 3rd location in the North Loop area and a 4th in Cedar Park.
