Although it's new to me it's good but a bit long to get your food here,very crowded but beautiful interior

Ruot Heo Chien Gion. If ya know.. Ya know! : ) There's a reason Anthony Bourdain called these washed, boiled, dried and then perfectly fried bits of heaven "the best part of the pig" It is! Haven't had anything bad here yet! Legit food! read more

Dong Que Restaurant - a plate of food with chopsticks - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

Nice to discover this part of Garland/Richardson full of eateries of different ethnicities. There were other Asian culinary experiences along this sizeable strip but we kept on driving (to the middle of the block) through the parking until we found what we were looking for: Vietnamese/Southeast Asian with AUTHENTICITY. An indicator of being in the right place for this purpose: we were the only folks of non-Southeast Asian descent in the place. Most service staff are centennials and we got lucky as our waiter was a very good communicator, expressively proud of his culture. He answered our questions on culinary insights of different parts of Vietnam, and the ethnic enclaves in its regions e.g. I tried their version of a Cambodian soup, and of course a Thai-styled cold tea (delish, above norm). In other words you will find more options than your typical colonial-infused pho and banh mi, etc. If dinner time, server may not stop over to check on you once the big plates are served so make sure you have plenty of liquids. Use your phone to QR code and get pictures of all plates on menu. Plates for two or more people are outstanding options here, server may subtly push the upsale, they go from $50 to 90+. Always call in advance because like many restaurants they do not stay open until late ...it's post-pandemic Dallas after all. We had reservations but realized in this instance we did not need them. You'll pay at the register, don't forget to tip as initial good service was provided. We'll go back, and try something hotter perhaps, we went too safe this time, big soup bowl can get a bit repetitive after 15 mins once you are done with the protein and side-greens. read more

Awesome authentic food! Always our go to spot for some Vietnamese food! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Garland area!

I came.here for the famous bánh canh cua since it got a lot of compliments online, but was told it's no longer there. Instead, it is bánh canh hải sản is available and uses the same broth. The dish did not disappoint. I have had bánh canh cua in SoCal before and was disappointed. I love Vietnamese food in Dallas. If I move here, this the the place I want to come back for more food. The phở is also very flavorful. The waiter is so nice and very friendly. read more

Soo it's opened on thanksgiving! That's when I went and it was PACKED! I mean like people out the door, and it was for huge parties 6-10 people, so you know this place gotta be good.. (or they're just there bc nowhere else is open), BUT that's not the case! So I love that they have Lau here, we got the Lau Thai lan seafood, the broth was spicy, flavorful. They bring our vegetables and seafood separate, so you just cook whatever you want to eat. There's obviously tons of seafood and vegetables so we're using a lot of broth. Guess what? They charge you $5 for extra broth, which is kinda ridiculous bc your already paying $40 for the dish itself.. and it's just broth! So I def didn't think that was smart business. Other than that, food is good, service is speedy. Also got the shrimp mango goi and although it was good, the mango was a little too riped.. it needed to be a little more green. read more

I have been to Dong Que several times for their soup dishes. Overall, the broths are great but can be a hit or miss at times with the balance of flavors/sweetness. The broth I had this time was somewhat sweet along with my friend's broths for soup. The staff are friendly and very helpful with the menu. I would still come back as I do enjoy the environment and it is a place I prefer over some others for soup dishes. read more

This is one of those many times where I wish Yelp allowed half stars. I would give this place 4.5 stars if I could. This is my personal, most frequented Vietnamese restaurant. I've been coming here for nearly 10 years. Dong Que isn't perfect, but it is pretty close. The food is fantastic, they occasionally refill your water (frequenters of authentic Asian restaurants know what I am talking about), the atmosphere is great, they are authentic, and they take credit cards! read more

Good food, nice atmosphere! A quite distant from my place but it worth for the trip! Whole Fish very tasty!

Visited this place for a day trip with my sister. We came across this on the way home because we were wanting Vietnamese food. After waiting about 10 minutes in a not too long line, I was seated. Meal was decent but not exceptional. As I'm from outside the city, I can't declare that I must go there every time I come. Yet, generally, it satisfied our desires. I'm glad I stopped by despite that. read more

Combination Crispy Noodle was okay. Noodles were alright. Veggies adequate. Meats not adequate, needed more. Sauce was too sweet. I had to add soy sauce. Korean bbq was excellent. Three beef dish was okay. I don't prefer eating it. read more

This is one of our favorite authentic vietnamese restaurants. Always fresh and delicious! We usually get the baked fish but since it was just the two of us ,had to try something else. Fish would have been way to much food! We tried the bun cha ha noi, great flavor in the meat, always give us plentiful noodles and veggies. We also ordered the nem nuong and crispy buttered seafood. They were delicious! Packed with lots of flavor. The shrimp was huge, loved that they lightly battered the seafood. Last thing we tried was the cornish hen. The rice was flavorful but the chicken was bland. Not my favorite dish. read more

My in-laws family loves coming here so I've been here a few times now. They're known for their Ca Nuong (fried catfish) and the Banh Hoi 3 Vi so you must order these 2 dishes. Just those 2 dishes are a lot of food, good for 4 hungry mouths. It's a very authentic Vietnamese joint so if your taste buds yearn for that fishy, smelly, sour, amazing taste of Vietnam, Dong Que is the place to hit up. Beware you might have to wait for a table on busy weekends. read more

I needed pho and discovered that my go-to place, in the neighborhood that I was in that day, was closed for lunar new year. Dong Que popped up on Yelp. This is a nice place that does NOT specialize in pho. This place was quite busy at lunch time on Saturday. I saw many good looking dishes and the place smelled great. I did order the Pho Bo with Tai, Nam, Chin and Bo Vien. It was not my favorite pho, but it was very good. I will definitely come back to try their baked fish! read more

Dong Que Restaurant - Lots of basil! - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

If you're not ready to order when they seat you then they will forget about you. We ordered the fried fish of course and I recommend ordering the medium size because you can't tell the difference between that and a large. They don't have smalls anymore not sure if it's still on the menu or not. I don't recommend ordering the rare beef salad (bo tai chanh) they preboil it instead of the traditional way of cooking the rare beef with limes. We tried the goi hen baby clam salad and it was okay. They do give you a big portion of it. Some servers will remove the spine of the fish for you and some won't so it is a hit or miss. I recommend getting the fried fish that's about it :) read more

The restaurant was super crowded on labor day with waiters and waitresses are awesome. They managed to have all people seated and order food as soon as they can. We ordered crispy bake fish with rice paper, noodles and vegetables. Vegetables are so fresh and clean.

Family friend took us here and I must say, YUMMMMM. He ordered different dishes that we wrapped with different veggies and meats. We had a shrimp/fish cake that was wrapped around sugar cane, beef 3 ways, fried cat fish, and shaken beef. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The one thing I would be wary of is I ordered their Thai tea and it's basically like 70% ice... I'm not the kind of person to pay $2.75 for like one cup of ice with a little but of tea. They had very clean restrooms and the waiters were very attentive! To sum it up, good food, good service, AUTHENTIC, and clean restrooms, will be coming here again :) read more

I should have ordered the baked fish or the seven course of beef (bo 7 mon) but didn't. The service was great. The menu was large and included a lot of authentic and even rare Vietnamese dishes that I haven't seen elsewhere. Exotic meats are also presented in the menu, including frog legs and somethings that showed up as cave bird poop in google translate. Don't ask. Point is - it's pretty god darn real. The pho was okay, the noodles were good. Spring rolls were great. My plate, the grilled pork came with other things that I liked and didn't care for, but it was definitely a large portion and for a good price. The place was large, nice and clean, and looked much better inside than outside. People were coming in and out throughout my time eating here during the off hours, so it was a good sign. I would like to come back to explore the menu better - and with a group so I could get the stuff that this place is known for. read more

Dong Que Restaurant - Grilled pork plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

My best friend, his mom, and I drove all the way to Garland to try this place because we saw photos some of our friends posted on instagram of the grilled catfish (plus he just broke it off with a girl he met on Tinder after finding out she had an Asian guy fetish so we were trying to cheer him up). People say this place had the best Vietnamese style grilled catfish so obviously we had to try that dish. Originally we were going to split the large catfish ($70), but the extra large was only $5 more so why not? We can always take home leftovers. The catfish that they brought out was massive. This whole meal could have probably fed 5 or more people. I don't know if they marinate the catfish or not, but it was baked to perfection and topped with green onions and I believe it was fried shallots. It was absolutely delicious, the skin was crispy, and it flaked off so easily. The meal came with a lot of veggies, rice paper, noodles, and this brown dipping sauce (not sure what it was but it was amazing). You quickly soak the rice paper in hot water, assemble your veggies, put some noodles on it, and top it off with some baked fish. Rolling it was easy and then you simply dip it in that delicious brown sauce. It was one of the best Vietnamese food I ever ate. Service was attentive and the food was great. A little pricey for a college student, but I think that it's worth it. read more

The worst place I know in Garland Tx I order #31 seafood egg noodle soup I was expecting at least 6 shrimps some fish, squid or anything that relates to seafood this place is a ripped off $8.95 plus a jasmin tea that was the only good thing / no waiter or anyone came over to ask me if I was happy or perhaps I needed something else in fact I did I was going to order more food but no one came over to see how I was doing ! Very disappointed not enough noodles on my order maybe 2 1/2 oz I was hungry I was expecting something a little bit better specially with quality and quantity of food according to their price. The entire room was ok the decoration was ok except this afternoon was 94 degrees temperature and their air conditioner was blowing hot air I was sweating I felt like I was in a sauna room.... never - I mean never ever going back to this place again I'm very disappointed! read more

Ca transplant still in search of the best BBH. We had the spring rolls to start and they were fantastic! The BBH- the broth was weak. Really weak like water. I'm so disappointed. It reminded me of the baby bowl they would give you as a kid- all watered down. The meat in the soup was excellent though and they cha was the best I've had so far in Dallas. There is no blood cube though FYI. The place is very crowded on a Sunday but the servers were great. Really bummed that this won't be our go to spot. read more

Tasty food, fast service. Their choices are abundant. I would definitely eat here again if I'm in the area.

One of my favorite Vietnamese spots. You want to eat with a huge group they got you. You want to eat just by yourself they also got you. I love to do family style when I go places so I can try a little bit of everything. Dong Que offers family style portions. Some of my favorite things are the big baked fish, the 7 courses of beef, and also their banh cua do bien(tapioca starch noodle soup served with seafood). They use to sell the banh canh cua which was my absolute favorite but have taken it off the menu. However, the seafood one is just as good. Their big baked fish comes with rice paper and vegetables so you can do spring rolls at the table. They give you a sauce that's made with shrimp/anchovy paste. If you don't like the sauce they can ask provide your with fish sauce or a peanut dipping sauce. Would definitely come back! read more

Great baked fish! But it's a little bland. I kind of like Saigon better. Still, great place for Vietnamese food! They are great with their service, takes orders fast and do their very best to get what you want. Decor is great. I still think the most accurate review here would be Paul H.

I came here with friends after rock climbing at Summit Dallas and we were hungry and the food here really hit the spot and satisfied 4 hungry climbers! We ordered spring rolls, pho, hu tieu nam vang (cambodian style seafood noodle), bun bo hue, mi vit tiem (duck with egg noodle soup). Spring rolls - 2 spring rolls per order. Pretty good, but nothing mindblowing. Sauce was maybe a tad bland Pho - You can pick up to 4 meats (out of a list of 9ish) - major standout was the soft tendon, which was huge and springy (not too mushy). Hu tieu nam vang - Really fragrant with a rich broth, topped with crispy pork rinds (?). Generous servings of seafood, especially squid. mi vit tiem - A slightly sweet soy sauce based broth with an entire duck drumstick. bun bo hue - Really good! The broth was super flavorful, and it comes with a huge variety of different meats, as well as a generous chunk of pork blood - all delicious. Price was reasonable and overall one of the better pho places in Dallas. read more

When I first moved to TX, this was the place I would go to for baked catfish. From what I remember, my first visit here was a good one. I remember the catfish being super crispy and flavorful. I've been here 3 times and my last visit was not pleasant. This place is always busy and hectic. The restaurant is not very clean either and the staff is slow. My last visit here was on Mother's day. They were super busy and our wait time was about 45 minutes. This was understandable since it was Mother's day. When we were finally seated, we weren't even asked what we wanted to drink until 10 minutes later. I think they forgot about us. Anyways, we were able to finally order and asked for the baked catfish. They said they only have the large size today and it will take 45 minutes to come out. My in-laws were in town and we drove all the way here (I live 45 minutes away) for the catfish so we ended up ordering it. We ordered a beef dish off of their 7 course beef menu so that we could start with that while we wait for our catfish. The beef dish was good. It was tender and I loved the flavor. 30 minutes pass by and we see other tables that came in after us get their order of the baked catfish before us. We were pissed! Ours finally came out 15 minutes after. I asked the waiter why we got ours last and he said "Oh we make them in batches so we just send them all out at once". I said "Well, we ordered before that other table and they got theirs 15 minutes before ours", and he just looked confused and had no explanation. And to top it off, the catfish we got was tiny! The skin was not even cripsy and the meat was dry! This was definitely not a large as advertised. We had 5 hungry people and none of us felt full after. I felt like we got ripped off. I don't think we'll ever come back here. read more
