The Vietnamese food was surprisingly very authentic and flavorful. My family and I have been trying to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant as it's been difficult for us to find a good place to find. Service was really nice and the young man serving us was very kind when we asked for braised pork with the catfish, asking the chef. The ambience was warm and welcoming with everyone eating there Vietnamese which told us when we first entered the restaurant that the food was going to be scrumptious! We ordered braised catfish and requested with pork belly 10/10 the sauce was thick and flavorful. We also ordered sour soup with catfish that reminded me of my Vietnamese grandma's cooking definitely 10/10. Coming from a Vietnamese raised customer, this restaurant was the best we've had so far! read more

Good! Not great. I had the banh canh cua and the mi here. The mi soup is piping hot and delicious. The banh canh cua was served pretty room temp/cool and the fried donut (quay) was also not crispy or fresh. It did have a good amount of crab, quail eggs, and meat though. I sense that this is a very traditional Vietnamese kitchen but i was bummed about the way the banh canh cua was served. Especially since they seem to be the only one in the area that serves this dish. Of course service is ehh too because most traditional Vietnamese kitchens aren't known for great service. The dining room is small and it doesn't seem to have a restroom. Lots of fruit flies/gnats though... I think I'll be back to try the canh chua and thit kho and ca kho next time. Give it a 2nd chance. I was really hoping to find a new place that's local to me with the dishes that they serve (very traditional homemade type of dishes) but I would skip this and drive to Garland or even Grand Prairie next time. :/ read more

This is more of a restaurant you go to when you can't cook the homemade meals your mom used to make for you as a kid. The menu is extensive. We came as a small party of 4 so didn't get to try too much. Service was alright - we tried speaking English and Vietnamese and it didn't seem to get our point across for certain things lol or maybe my Vietnamese isnt as good as I thought. It's small inside and I think it's also BYOB. read more

First time visiting with a group of 6 and we ordered a variety of different dishes to try. Every dish was seasoned very well (it may seem a tad too sweet to some people though) and we literally ate every last drop. Loved the sweet & sour Vietnamese soup, braised pork and braised cat fish! Banh canh cua was solid too. read more

I thought the food was pretty good. There are limited noodle soups compared to other restaurants and they didn't have pho which is almost a standard for Vietnamese restaurants. It seems like this place is known for their com gia đinh/family style dishes, so something to keep in mind! Service is nice and attentive. The restaurant is on the smaller side so if you go during peak hours you might have to wait for a table. Would come back to try other dishes! read more

What a special hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese food! The service was exceptional with very kind and attentive waiters. The restaurant itself is very clean and well decorated, making it an inviting and cozy place to dine in with your friends and family. Lastly, the food was SO good. You really get what you pay for with the high quality food. I got the water spinach with garlic, braised pork belly with quail egg, sweet and sour catfish soup, braised catfish, and the sugarcane juice with calamansi! Everything was so delicious. We can't wait to go back to try more food!! read more

Come here for the lesser known Vietnamese dishes. Dishes that are true home cooked meals, foods that families have at their weeknight dinner table in Vietnam. Truly a gem to find a place that serves good Vietnamese food beyond pho and fried rice. Get the thick tapioca noodle soup with crab meat and shrimp. The one of two places I know in DFW serving up this bowl of seafood goodness. read more

Map Kitchen - Banh canh cua - Vietnamese Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Why is everything here so sweet??!?!? Tuck in an odd location for Vietnamese food but here we are. Small and cozy. A little warm inside especially for winter. We order mango seafood salad, banh canh cua, caramelized pork belly with quail eggs, and shaken beef- bo lúc lac. The shaken beef was the only not as crazy sweet like the other dishes. I love Vietnamese comfort food but I can't be eating sugar so it's difficult for me to like it. read more

As a Vietnamese person it's hard to find really good Vietnamese food. I've been spoiled by my grandmas cooking so nothing ever tastes as good as hers. Map kitchen was amazing. Not only was the food good because so was the service. The staff were so kind and accommodating! If I'm ever back in Dallas I will definitely come back to Map Kitchen! read more

Incredible family owned and authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I've been to Vietnam and this was the best Vietnamese cuisine I have had in Texas. Service was fast and friendly. Every dish was packed with lots of meat. All the sides (herbs, pickled vegetables and sauces) were great. I don't love beef and usually prefer pork but the Bon Bo Hue was really well seasoned and had a rich bone broth. The stewed duck soup was made with a very light and medicinal broth and included goji berries. Everything was very fresh. Portions are large. We unfortunately weren't able to try their famous yogurt because they ran out but we will for sure be back! read more

This place is so good if you love Vietnamese and Cantonese-style food. It's a family-run spot with super cozy, casual vibes -- you really feel like you're getting a home-cooked meal. I loved the papaya salad and the water spinach dish. The water spinach was cooked just right -- flavorful, well-seasoned, and had a nice little spicy kick. The papaya salad was super fresh, and the shrimp was really tender. I'm definitely coming back to try more dishes -- especially the homemade yogurt next time! read more

Mập Kitchen is fantastic for Vietnamese food! The Sweet and Sour Fish Soup with Bamboo and Braised Catfish were delicious. They are different from how I normally cook them, so it was refreshing to see a spin on Vietnamese staples. I also enjoyed the Braised Pork Ribs because it had a good kick. Everything had a hint of sweetness but definitely tart and spicy where it counted. The rice that accompanied the Fried Chicken was amazing!! I have no idea how they made that rice so good, but you should ask for a side of it if possible. Yum! This is now my go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. read more

We tried a lot of things from the goi, wonton soup, bun bo hue, com ga toi, egg rolls, and the yogurt. Everything was good, especially the egg rolls, yogurt, and wonton soup! read more

This little restaurant is very warm and cute, it also offers an interesting menu that I don't usually see at other Vietnamese food restaurants. I ordered crab tapioca noodle soup, and surely enjoyed it. Good amount of real crab meat made me feel obligated to finish the entire bowl of soup so I do not waste any bit of it! The service was very friendly as well, nice and calming classical music was played while I was there. The only thing bothered me was the gnats flying around that I had to keep away from my food although the restaurant seemed clean. Hope there's a good solution to get rid of those gnats! read more

The to-go meal looked promising at first, but the taste didn't quite live up to expectations. The most noticeable issue was the overwhelming saltiness--it overpowered the other flavors and made the dish hard to enjoy after a few bites. On top of that, it felt unbalanced because it was missing vegetables. read more

You know when the waitress doesn't speak English food is authentic and going to be bomb! Good thing my husband is Vietnamese and can help translate or you can just point to pictures on the menu. One look at the menu and I was already getting excited. Dishes I don't see in common Vietnamese restaurants like banh canh, catfish clay pot or canh chua. Most restaurants have pho, rice and vermicelli dishes. This place offers more variety Vietnamese dishes that you should give a try. The banh canh did not disappoint, flavor is rich and hearty, canh chua had the right amount of sweet and sour, both dishes tasted like a home cooked meal. Service was good, food came out quick. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes! read more

This place has very nice ambiance. You can appreciate their efforts on the detailed asian decor and branded coverings for their utensils (not commonly seen at other Vietnamese restaurants). Service was very good, and the menu offered many authentic Vietnamese dishes. What didn't impress us was the food. We ordered shaken beef and the seasoning was light and not flavorful. The house special crispy noodle had so much sauce in it that the noodle became soft very quickly. The toppings on the noodle were weird, with pork kidney, and some beef parts that would be better served as appetizers. The portions were small for the price. Maybe we'll try them again in the distant future. They have a lot of potential with an authentic, atypical menu, but we felt the cooking fell short of our expectation. read more

This restaurant is great. We live nearby and were excited to try it out. Chow fun is one of my favorite dishes and theirs is really good. The pot stickers were pretty good, and the sweet spicy sauce was tasty. My dad liked his chow mein (not pictured) and my daughter liked her chicken. The cheese yogurt was DELICIOUS - I've never had it before, and I really liked it. The service was friendly and very helpful. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful.
