Nancy's Kitchen

Overall: 3.6/5 [takeout] We ordered for pickup and when we arrived on a late Thursday night the parking situation was chaos. It's a big ghost kitchen where you scan a QR code on your phone to grab your order, but the system was glitching and it took my husband a while to actually pick it up. Vermicelli Bowl With Grilled Pork ($17.49): This was good. I liked the grilled pork and the onion strings on top. Second best item of the meal for me. Broken Rice Plate With Grilled Chicken ($17.49): If you're a fan of plain chicken this is for you, but it wasn't for us. This also doesn't look like the UberEats picture where it comes with an egg which can be misleading. Grilled Pork Sandwich ($10.99): Not worth it. The banh mi was a bit small and didn't have a lot of stuffing, and the bread didn't seem toasted. The grilled pork was good but I think it worked better in the vermicelli bowl than in the sandwich. I also think they used regular American mayo instead of egg mayo, which made a difference. Nancy's Jumbo Chicken Wings ($14.99): These are fried wings tossed in garlic, chili, and a house glaze. They weren't really jumbo, more like just a bit bigger than average, but the sauce on these was chef's kiss. Easily the best item out of everything we got. Hibiscus Limeade ($5.99): A 20 oz iced drink that was refreshing. No sourness from the limeade and just a light hibiscus flavor.

Fresh, flavorful viet classics. Got the spring rolls, Banh mi and ube basque cheesecake, all items were amazing but the Banh mi (one of my favorite dishes) was incredible. Baguette was fresh and soft, pork and veggies seasoned perfectly. Food was wrapped great for carry out. After seeing this spot a few times on delivery apps, I'm sad I didn't choose it sooner! Will definitely get again soon.

This is the best food I’ve had in Austin. By far the best bahn mi I’ve had and it’s not even close. The dumplings were delicious. Everything was very flavorful in the best way.

The gap between what was promised via their website photos, and what was actually delivered via Uber Eats was pretty vast. The chicken was NOT fresh, overly salty, dark meat, & tasted like rubber - not the slices of grilled chicken breast in the photo. Do these photos even look like the same dish? I think not.

This was my first time ordering from a ghost kitchen and I was delightfully surprised! Nancy's fried tofu is the best I have had! Will be back and hope they get a brick & mortor if they want it. I bet it would be cozy and special like the food!
