    1G. Spring Roll- Goi Cuon
    Carolina D.

    Service is exceptional! Server staff members including the owner checked in on me while I was in for lunch. I ordered the Spring Rolls to start and the Rare Steak Pho. Both were incredibly delicious. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. I recommend checking this spot out if you haven't.

    Banh xeo
    Serena L.

    Second time visiting golden dragon! Loved that they had special Viet food on a separate menu for you to try and highly recommend! Banh xeo was huge with plentiful of fresh veggies for you to wrap it with. Dish is light which is perfect for the warmer months and can easily feed 2-3 people. The Vietnamese sandwich is just ok. Would recommend adding more pickled veggies to it. Service was great! Everyone checked in on you throughout the visit. Restaurant was casual with open seating. Plenty of spots for parking.

    3A. Bun Bo Hue
    Jenlyn W.

    Been here twice and loved my dining experience here twice. The restaurant is very spacious with a bar in the middle. Even though the sign upon entering says "please wait to be seated," they give you the option to pick any available seating they have. The service here is always friendly and quick and informative if you're not custom to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. What I like most about Golden Dragon is that they have food like bánh xèo (Vietnamese savory crepe that's filled with either pork or shrimp), bún riêu (vermicelli noodles in a tomato crab soup), bò bía (a lot like a spring roll but the usual fillings are jicama, Chinese sausage, eggs and herbs, bò kho (beef stew served) with bread but you can also add noodles among the popular Vietnamese dishes. The food here reminds me of home. The first time, I tried their bun bo hue because I'm a sucker for well made bun bo hue (this place lets you add in the spice yourself so you can have adjust the spice to your liking). I love the chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), pork blood, tendon, beef slices in it topped with shredded cabbage, thai basil and lime juice. The broth is hearty and warming. I dropped in a second time for some chicken pho. Delicious broth and generous amount of chicken topped with green onions. Also to note, all food portions here are huge.

    Great service. Clean large space! Super nice to our toddler. Pho tasted like restaurants in SoCal with large Viet populations. Was super excited to have legit cha gio (egg rolls) with rice paper! These are so hard to find! So yummy!

    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.

    1I. Popcorn Chicken- Ga Popcorn
    Chanbo C.

    When you've been in Reno for 4 days eating nothing but American food, this establishment such a comfort to find. We ordered Vietnamese eggrolls (fried in rice paper yumm), popcorn chicken, fried rice, and 2 orders of banh canh cua. I chose to come here because they have banh canh cua on the menu! I'm currently fixated on this thick crab udon noodle soup!! The place has been updated so it's very nice and well kept inside. Service was quick, friendly, and welcoming. I would definitely come back!!

    Roast Duck over Rice.
    Justin C.

    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.

    Roast Duck Noodle Soup
    Jennifer N.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It has been awhile since I have had boba. My friend and I were nearby and wanted to get something…read more We were greeted by a new staff in the back. I got the crème brûlée milk tea and my friend got the classic milk tea with boba. I very disappointed. There was barely any ice and the bottom half of the drink was thick and warm. It is the worst drink I have ever had. I am not sure how she made it, but it tasted like warm eggnog. Nothing in it tasted like milk tea. My friend said hers was not very good either. This classic regular milk tea should be the simplest to make, but she was very disappointed as well. The boba was also not good. Honestly, I don't think the person who made my drink knew how to make it. She was the only person running the place. I would not come back after this experience.

    Was craving a sweet treat and decided to go here after having pizza. This place is so cute and…read morewelcoming. It has a good amount of seating with different games available to play. They even have an air hockey and foosball table. The fact that they have halo halo drinks is definitely a plus in my book because I've been craving it and I can't find Halo halo anywhere in Reno. They had two options: Taro/Ube or Buko Pandan. I went with the Buko Pandan (if you know, you know). And my husband got the Tiger smoothie. The halo halo isn't the traditional dessert where you use a spoon and eat it, BUT I love the convenience of it being a drink and using the same ingredients anyway. I do like the Buko Pandan flavor so next time I'm going to try the Ube. The Tiger smoothie was also really delicious! You can taste both the Thai tea and the milk. It was on the sweeter side, but was still pretty delicious. There was only one employee working the store so it did take a while because a lot of other people showed up after us. But I'll definitely be back to try more things!
