I've been wanting to try Mr. Dong since they opened but completely forgot about it until a random…read moretrip nearby. I was so excited to spontaneously go! The tea shop is bright and colorful, the menu is a bit overwhelming the first time going in, and I definitely felt a little overstimulated by the decor. There was...A LOT to look at. But the nice calming music helped ease my going mind. I really loved that you can borrow manga books while you sit and enjoy your drink. The cashier/barista was friendly and helpful, she even gave me a stamp card for future visits so that I may receive a free drink after completing the card! I ordered the Thai Milk Green Tea with boba and OOOOOOOOOH my gosh, I'm HOOKED. It was one of the best boba teas I have ever had. My husband didn't order anything but he sure did drink nearly half of mine, pure jealousy, I'd say! I definitely want...no, need! to come back to Mr. Dong and try other menu items. It's just so difficult to do that when I found a new favorite flavor!

Stumbled upon this place on a holiday when a lot of restaurants were closed. It is located in a…read morenice neighborhood and definitely feels like a welcoming place to eat or meet up with a friend. I saw a lot of kids walk in and families come in and out, suggesting to me that it really serves the neighborhood or community it is located in. That's a feeling I don't get at restaurants that often and I think is unique to this place because of its location. Enjoyed the flavors of the food much more than I anticipated. I particularly found the popcorn shrimp to be fried well, juicy, and have a lovely yuzu flavor. The rice to protein ratio for the Basil Rice was off but the flavor was delicious. The ramen was pleasant but not outstanding. Overall prices are on the higher side for what they serve. The service was satisfactory. Served well but the staff was not necessarily warm or friendly. Recommend it for a cute, casual date or family friendly spot!

I asked the ladies at the front the difference between the Dirty Milk Tea and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea and they said the difference is the Dirty Milk Tea has black tea in it. I ended up choosing the Dirty Milk Tea, and I am so glad I did. In my opinion, the black tea adds this lovely layer of flavor to the otherwise sweet milk tea. I paid around $6 - $7, which I think is typical for the cost of a milk tea. I thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back!

I was really impressed. The atmosphere is very cool, the staff was eager to help and friendly and…read morethe rolled ice cream was icesalicious! We got there 15 minutes before closing and they were so generous to serve us and took their time and made these incredible strawberry ice cream rolls for us. The portion was massive but I did my duty and finished the whole thing. This place exceeded my expectations and I'm sure it will exceed yours too.

I stopped in for 2 Dubai Chocolate bars. I was asked if I wanted dark chocolate or milk chocolate…read more I said one of each, paid over $40, took the bars home and opened them both as this was my family's first time trying this only to break off the one we thought was dark chocolate to find the inside brown instead of green. It was a Biscoff bar. It tasted okay, but it was not at all what I ordered. Especially for $20+ a bar. The actual Dubai bar was delicious and we are hooked. Just very disappointed by not getting everything we ordered, which knocked this down from a five stars to a three.

My son got a donut - so good with the rice fragrance. Will try other flavors. The noodle stations looks promising- just like the ones I saw on YouTube in Korea.

Not my favorite- Plenty of parking…read more I went on a Saturday afternoon around 1 pm- slow time. Service at the counter with the first person was not the friendliest- she wasn't in a good mood and was not nice to her employee or me. Luckily after I paid the nervous employee got my order. I used a coupon for the free doughnut and bought 2 more. I was excited they had a Dubai chocolate mochi doughnut- it wasn't- there was No pistachio or tahini-only milk chocolate and the shredded phyllo dough. the marshmallow one was gooey and had good flavor. Place was quiet and decorated nicely.

In my first review, I mentioned how they were never refilling the water, no matter who I waived down. But since that review, they have really upped their A game. They always go around asking if people would love their drinks refilled, and even if they are not your server, they are very attentive to the tables. I can tell that they all work as a team here! The only complaint is that since they switched owners a while back, the pho isnt as flavorful. But it is still really good compared to other options out there in Raleigh.

These rolls are SO GOOD! Bun Bo Hue (#57 on the menu) may be my new favorite and is a spicy option, although Pho Dac Biet (#31) is great when I don't feel like having something spicy. ____ (o . o) Soda Sua Hot Ga(#11) cream beverage is a perfect way to cool the palette, btw.

Even though they've updated the menu over time, the food has stayed consistently good, and the portion sizes still deliver (yes!!). I noticed they now offer oxtail pho, and I'll definitely have to try that on my next visit. My usual order is the steak and brisket pho, so I'm curious to see how it compares!

Which is unfortunate, since this is one of the only locations I have been to that serve banh xeo, and it is my FAVORITE vietnamese dish. The banh xeo was nowhere near cripsy as it should be, and the bean sprouts and protein filling were not seasoned. It was definitely a let down. The BBQ pork banh mi was also average. Per my husband, the pork and the pate did not taste as flavorful as described on Doordash. All that being said, the interior was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. If I do come back, I guess I would only get their pho. 6/10 - needs more flavor!

Staff is friendly but the pho broth didn't have any taste the Taro milk tea is delicious!!read more
