I dropped by Golden Dragon to get a taro-flavored boba. When I entered the restaurant, they were pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon but the lady said I could sit at the counter and the young lady asked what I was waiting for and I said I wanted to order a taro boba. She immediately processed my order and rang me up at a register on the other side of the room; the transaction was quick and easy; the young lady was very accommodating and boba tasted great. Overall, it was brief but positive visit.
Food was fantastic. I had the duck over rice, and it was cooked perfectly with great flavor and texture. Every appetizer we tried was tasty and crisp, clearly made fresh and done right. Everything felt well prepared and satisfying. Service was smooth and attentive, especially for a newer restaurant. Staff was welcoming and made sure everything came out correctly. Ambiance is small but functional. The space is not huge, but it works well and feels comfortable for what it is. Overall, 10 out of 10 for a new restaurant. Great food, solid service, and a strong first impression.
FOOD - Roast Duck Noodle Soup: egg noodles with roasted duck and bok choy. The soup was so savory. The duck was very meaty and plentiful. The portion was huge! I asked for no green onions and there was so much green onions! Took me a few minutes to scoop them out. This is possibly the best mi vit tiem I've ever had. 5/5 SERVICE: The young lady who took our order was very friendly (and pretty)! She was attentive and welcoming. 4.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. The food was very good. My husband and kids enjoyed their pho. I was so sad that I didn't see bun rieu on their separate menu. That's what I was craving. Now I have to return for it!
This Viet Restaurant has one of the best Bánh xèo I've ever had. The thin pancake has a slight chewy interior texture while the exterior is crispy and crunchy. It is stuffed with ground pork, shrimps, bean sprouts and mung beans and is eaten as a wrap with lettuce, mint and other pickled veggies which they give you a huge helping of. Dip it in their special fish sauce and you'll constantly crave for this incredibly tasty dish. Its large serving size is definitely shareable unless you have a huge appetite. The restaurant is bright and inviting and the servers are very attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back when I'm in the Reno area.
The Golden Dragon took over the old location of Pho 999, in the Franktown Corners shopping center. The interior is spacious if not a bit spartan. We went with a large group of friends, so lots of pics of the dishes. The consensus was that the food was "Good". My wife had the Korean Short Ribs over Rice. I was able to sneak a few bits. This dish was really good. The short ribs had a nice, grilled taste. The ribs were flavorful and tender. Really Good. I had the House Special Pho. A traditional Pho dish, served with rare steak, brisket, tripe, tendon and meatballs. What determines if a Pho is good versus amazing is often the broth. On this occasion, I thought the broth was just "okay". Overall the dish was fine but not the best Pho I have ever had. The service was good, as the restaurant was quite busy for a Sunday evening. Would I come here again ? Sure. Enough of our friends seemed to enjoy their meals, so happy to try more dishes.
My friends used to come to 999 Pho when it was still at this location and when my boyfriend and I heard that there's a new pho place that took over, we were excited to try it. Our first impression was that the atmosphere has been completely transformed and got a new make over - the interior of this restaurant is nice and spacious! We came on a Friday night and it was not completely busy to the point where we had to wait to be seated but quite a few tables, especially large parties, were filled. We were seated right away. Though the host asked another waitress to seat us but then the waitress went to cater to another table after being asked to do so. It was a few seconds until she realized we were waiting for her to seat us and apologized and told us we can go to table that we liked. My boyfriend and I ordered the house special pho, rare steak pho, spring rolls, and a thai tea. There was no sauce dishes on the table so we had to ask them for it when we received our pho. Food was okay. The biggest issue I had was that we never received the thai tea. It took me until after we got our pho that I realized we never received it. I was planning on asking the waitress for the status on it but at that point I didn't want it anymore after the service we experienced. They still charged us for the thai tea on the receipt so we had to ask them to remove it. A waitress came by and dropped off a complimentary green dessert which we appreciated though she didn't say a word to us or told us what it was. Overall, the service was really what negatively impacted our experience.
Golden Dragon in Reno is a solid four star spot. We tried the beef noodle soup with rice noodles and the pho combo. Both dishes came out steaming hot which was amazing, especially on a cold day. The beef was tender and the broth had a comforting savory flavor. The pho did not taste as authentic as it could be, but it was still enjoyable and satisfying. Service was quick, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Overall, a good place for a warm bowl of noodles in Reno.
Located in the Franktown Corners Shopping Center. We were greeted and seated immediately, the place was clean and our server was so friendly. The spicy beef stew was good and came out piping hot! But it wasn't really spicy, had to add more hot sauce. My son got the beef stew noodle soup and it was really good! Really good flavor, had yams in it which was delicious! The soup bowls are very big btw. I tried the vermicelli stir fried beef, I wish there was as much meat to rice ratio, my only minor complaint. Because I also got the bbq banh mi sandwich and it was excellent!!! Lots of meat! Crunchy roll! Yum! Bathrooms are located outside to the left and need a key code.
We loved the previous restaurant here. But that restaurant moved down to our part of town. So when we saw the "new" place open up we headed there as soon as the Vietnamese food craving hit. It's got the "vibe" of both Golden Flower AND 999 somehow. The Banh Xeo was more authentic than I have had anywhere else in or out of town. Something to specifically head there to get. We will return when we are in this part of town. Good stuff all around.
Came in and IT'S REMODELED. Place looks better than ever. Plenty of seating, some family style with benches on the wall. They also have a couple games inside for the kids. We tried multiple things. The eggrolls were nice and crispy!!! And the basil chicken appetizer was very crisp but it's a different kind of crisp, super delicious. I tried the banh canh and it was very good. The broth was tasty and the meats as well. I wish the noodles were a little bit more chewy, it kinda just fell apart, no gumminess to it. Tried the sugar cane juice original as well as the passionfruit sugar cane. Both were GREAT. The service was lovely, nice and friendly. They have multiple tvs playing all different types of things, so that was nice for a little entertainment. So far, we will be returning to try more items!
This is the kind of place I wish we had more of. It doesn't stop at your typical pho, rice noodle bowls, and banh mi sandwiches. Sure they have all of those, but they are also bringing more specials, and unique food items that you don't usually see in Vietnamese restaurants in the area. As this was my first visit I decided to try my Vietnamese benchmark dish, plain rare-beef pho, but I also wanted to try some of the more unique items so I got the dried shrimp and sausage roll appetizer. The rolls were good, the sauce they came with was the perfect blend of peanut, and umami flavors. The pho broth had a nice good flavor, with some of the subtle flavors you find in the best broths, but it didn't quite measure up with some of the best ones I've had. The noodles were fresh, and not over-cooked which I appreciated (nothing ruins a bowl more than boiled to hell pho noodles for me). The staff was fun and friendly, and got our food out to us fairly quickly. Also the remolded space shows that they took some time to make the place as enjoyable as possible. I'm looking forward to my next visit to golden dragon where I will be trying more of the specials and unique food items on the menu.

Came back again today with my friend Dave and ordered the roasted duck, and it completely delivered. The duck was beautifully done with crisp skin and tender, juicy meat. Deeply savory, rich without being heavy, and clearly cooked with care. Paired with the rice, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables, it was balanced and satisfying from start to finish. One of those dishes that feels straightforward on the surface but really shows skill in the execution. Service continues to be excellent. Long is always friendly and welcoming, and he has a way of making the place feel comfortable and familiar the moment you walk in. It genuinely feels like you're being taken care of, not just served. The restaurant itself is spotless and calm, and it's an easy place to relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Second visit in, and this place is proving it's consistent. Everything feels intentional, from the food to the atmosphere. Easily becoming a go-to spot for me. read more

Went here for lunch with my son who was craving pho, and this place did not disappoint. The soup was a delicious and flavorful. The portion was perfect and the service was great. The wait staff and owner constantly checked in to make sure we were OK and if anything else was needed. Almost forgot to mention the best part! They have sugar can juice! It was so delicious and refreshing. Can't wait for the summer to enjoy more of these drinks. Highly recommend this spot. Plus the ambiance is huge and spacious. read more

Staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely my new go to for Vietnamese. The restaurant has a beautiful large dining room . read more

I usually don't even leave reviews but damn this place is so good! I've been eating Beef Stew since I was a little kid and the beef stew here is so good. Balanced with all the right stuff and not too much fat. Sometimes you order this dish and other restaurants will load it with straight fat which sometimes feel cheap. Very glad thats not the case here at all. Even the spring rolls were packed with flavor. 5/5 read more

The service was great, everyone was friendly. The pho was flavorful and hot which I loved, also it was a great portion size. The sping rolls was made with fresh ingredients. The remodeling makes this place so much bigger and brighter. We also got to try the seasoned fries and sugar cane mango drink and both was a 10/10. read more

Soft opening so please be patient with them. We had the pleasure of tasting the delicious food on their first day! The pho was really really good. The broth was super clean, you can taste the freshness and can tell that this broth has been stewed from fresh bones and no shortcuts were taken with the imitation seasonings. We also had the bun rieu (crab soup) which was full of flavor but not overpowering. I loved the crab meat that was in it! Place was clean, service was excellent! Our water was refilled 3 times without us having to ask! What sets this place apart from the other Vietnamese restaurants in town is that they have authentic dishes that the other places don't have. Banh canh Cua (crab udon), Bo kho (beef stew), bun rieu (crab noodle), bun Bo hue (pork and beef soup), Bo bia (traditional rolls), banh xeo (Vietnamese crepes) just to name a few. I'm so excited to have this new Vietnamese restaurant join the Reno community. read more

I been in and out to Reno many times. And I'm telling you guys. This place is the best vietnamese restaurant in Reno I ever had. We order most of the specialties that the restaurant can offer that include the drinks. I even analyzed the food itself. The calamari they score it and fried which is great technique. Sauces good also. Pho not oily and it's have refine clear broth. Fried rice both duck and yang chow rice are amazing. I highly recommended the place. No questions and no doubt about the food. read more
