Hao Hao is headed to Pflugerville with a dinner dilemma worth having: a bowl of pho, a plate of sesame chicken, or something new to share?
The Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant plans a location at 17713 N. SH 130 Service Road, Building 2, Suite 200, in Pflugerville. It brings an established Central Texas restaurant name to Pflugerville Parkway Retail Center, with a food story that reaches well beyond its latest construction filing.
Hao Hao brings decades of history to the table
Hao Hao traces its roots to 1986. That gives the brand roughly four decades of history as it prepares to serve another community.
Meanwhile, Community Impact’s reporting connects the planned Pflugerville restaurant to its existing Round Rock and Leander locations. This expansion adds another stop for a regional restaurant whose identity makes room for both Vietnamese and Chinese cooking.
For diners, that means the conversation can start with what everyone is craving. A noodle-soup person and a sesame-chicken person have a reason to choose the same restaurant.
Start with the sesame chicken—or bring a soup spoon
The published Round Rock menu includes white-meat sesame chicken, General Tso’s chicken, Mongolian beef, and pepper steak. Its Duet option lets diners pair two selected entrées—a useful answer when choosing just one feels impossible.
On the Vietnamese side, pho combines rice noodles and beef broth with bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño, and lemon on the side. Vermicelli bowls offer another direction, with lettuce, cucumber, peanuts, and a choice of protein prepared with lemongrass and onion.
For something to share, Vietnamese eggrolls have pork and shrimp inside their crisp wrappers. Fresh rice-paper spring rolls come with peanut sauce. It is an easy way to start dinner while everyone settles the entrée debate.
Hao Hao has a sweet finish, too
The existing menu also lists Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, and fruit-flavored boba drinks. For dessert, Chinese beignets are egg puffs finished with powdered sugar; New York-style cheesecake is another option.
These dishes describe the existing restaurant’s offerings. Pflugerville’s final menu and service details have not been confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Still, the range gives readers a useful picture of the restaurant behind the announcement. Hao Hao offers more than one kind of comfort-food outing, whether the evening calls for noodles, a familiar chicken dish, or a few plates to pass around.
A new dining stop at Pflugerville Parkway Retail Center
The address puts Hao Hao in an existing retail development along the SH 130 service road. The registered work focuses on preparing a restaurant interior, rather than constructing a standalone building.
A public copy of TDLR filing TABS2026026166 lists 2,800 square feet and an estimated $500,000 renovation. The planned schedule runs from September 15, 2026, through January 31, 2027. January 31 is a construction completion target, not a confirmed opening date.
The bigger story is what follows the build-out: a longtime restaurant name adding a new community to its reach. For Pflugerville, the question will soon move from what is going into that space to what sounds good for dinner.
Hao Hao gives that question plenty of possible answers. You may want to bring someone willing to share.
