About
Clay Pot serves fantastic Vietnamese cuisine, including but not limited to traditional Vietnamese soup (Pho), fried rice, banh mi and an impressive variety of vegetarian options, in an elegant-yet-casual setting. The restaurant in the red-and-yellow building near the Baylor campus has been family owned and operated for 20 years.
Featured Menu Item
Pho (herbal soup) — In Vietnam, the herbal soup or Pho is a meal in itself. Pho has been a staple of Vietnamese cooking for more than a thousand years, appearing shortly after rice was first cultivated. It started with beef stock. Beef bones simmer with ginger and onions for hours, then anise, nutmeg, cinnamon, chamomile, lemongrass and citrus are added. Rich in vitamins, these seasons infuse the soup with their varied aromas. The steam from the bowl will carry the herbal aroma to your nostrils then to your mind. Sip by sip, you will feel relaxed. It's a healthy meal for any time.
Happy Hour & Specials
MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL: $4.50 glasses of wine (anything on the Clay Pot wine list); $1 off beer and sake all day Sunday.

mediocre at best
for years, people raved about this place, but i never went. when i finally did, i was unimpressed. it was kind of bland and nothing special. i don't know what the hype is about. it seems the menu is hit-or-miss, but mostly not great, if you ask me

am I the only person that hates this place?
Okay, don't tie my noose yet. I've lived in Waco for six years, and have eaten here at least once a year in hopes that a) it gets better b) it was having an off day last time or c) my palate has changed. It never does...The sauces taste manufactured, almost like you could find the same in a microwaveable dinner. It's normally slow on top of that.
But I will give it to you, the Pho soup is top notch. Otherwise, not impressed.
Go ahead, hate away.

Great for business lunches
This is a great place to meet for an affordable lunch with colleagues. The atmosphere is fun, the food is great and the service is alright.
I love, love the Pho and always order it with tofu.
Oddly, enough they also sell house-made baklava that's to die for. Look for it up by the cash register.
