    We ordered the combination pho and the clay pot. $38. What a surprise! As experienced Vietnamese eaters of around the Country and the world. These 2 dishes were top notch and among the best we've ever had. The pho was delicious and we liked that there was only one price regardless of the meet choice. The clay pot was very good but became amazing when our server brought over the special hot sauce. We were blown away by this restaurant and the amazing service. While dining we overheard a lady tell the server that she had to search out this restaurant and come back due to her amazing experience on her last trip to Dallas. We hope to be back one day too! Bravo!

    I rarely leave reviews but only upload pictures for restaurants, but I have to leave a review for this restaurant that I accidentally discovered. While going to a nearby LA Fitness, I saw this on the way because I did not eat a dinner yet. I saw a choice between this, Thai Street food next to it, but I decided to walk in here. The place was extremely small with not many tables, but I could find a seat close to the window side. What made me to give this perfect stars for this restaurant is how kind the owner was. He gave me a fresh bottle of Ozarka water, and he was really showing a fantastic service. And the food was great, too. I thought it was little expensive at $18 for a bowl of shrimp noodle, but it was enough portion. So, while I would not normally give this high ranking for a restaurant that is not super fancy, I have to make an exception because the owner's service really made a difference.

    I looked up a healthy option for lunch and the first thing that popped up was this place, once I walked in it smelt so good!!! I was greeted by who I think was the owner, he was so nice and kind and offered me a drink while I waited which did not take long at all. I will be coming again because the ambience was very comforting!!!

    Bun Xeo the best!

    The food and service is always amazing. The owner is very personable with each guest. I would say more but my review was too wordy they said

    Beef Pho
    Margo F.

    A friend recommended this place and the reviews were good so we went. I had the beef pho and my friend had the beef vermicelli. My pho was great! It was huge, I took about half home. The broth was flavorful and it had the normal accompanying vegetables. I didn't see the meat raw, it was all cooked in the broth but there was A LOT of meat. More than I expected, it was also flavorful and tender. I think it was $18 which is on the high end for pho but I did have leftovers and really enjoyed it! My friend also enjoyed his meal and had leftovers. They offered a complimentary ice cream and we accepted. It's a small container of Blue Bell, which was thoughtful and we enjoyed it. We also shared the shrimp spring rolls, the shrimp were large and it was delightful. The restaurant is small but they seem to do a lot of take out so there was plenty of seating. Give it a try!

    The food is phenomenal! And I'm from California, so I know good Vietnamese spots! The portions are good. The flavors on point! I highly recommend this place if you're in the area! I drove from Gainesville to come here so that should tell you how good the food is! And the owner is awesome too, so the customer service is phenomenal!

    This place is unbelievably amazing. I got shrimp spring rolls and beef pho and the flavor was stellar and the perfect warm meal on a chilly day. Alan was the friendliest man ever and ensured we had everything we needed for a delicious meal. I will absolutely come back here any time I'm in Dallas.

    Amazing pho. Had the chicken. Definitely coming back here. Want to try the vermicelli next time!

    I am crazy about Papaya Kitchen's "Shrimp Spring Rolls" - plump, juicy shrimps, lovely amount of vermicelli, lettuce, and bean sprouts, and delicious peanut sauce. Efficient online ordering. Welcoming pickup service. So glad this once beloved 'green papaya restaurant' being back. With the now named "Papaya Kitchen" being set up for mainly takeouts! CHEERS!

    We had a great experience at Goc Hue and really enjoyed trying a wide variety of dishes. We ordered…read morethe gỏi cuốn, bún thịt nướng chả giò, bánh ướt thịt nướng, bánh khoái, bánh bèo chén, bánh ram ít, bánh lọc gói lá chuối, bánh nậm, and sugar cane juice. Everything had a very authentic, homemade feel, and it was nice to find a place that offers so many Huế-style and Central Vietnamese specialties. The small dishes were especially fun to share, and the sugar cane juice was a refreshing addition to the meal. Overall, Goc Hue is a great spot if you enjoy Vietnamese food and want something beyond the usual pho or banh mi options. We would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Amazing food. I am not sure exactly what I ordered, however…read morewe got numbers # 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17. Out of those six orders, 5 were absolutely delicious and I will be reordering those five each time. The sixth was still really great, but not my thing. The service is very good here and they are super friendly. The only bad thing is how small the place is so if youre there during full house you will have to wait. Although it's small, I wouldn't want it to change if it affects quality. So this place is dang near perfect to me. Prices are great as well. I would highly recommend making a trip out to this place. I'll definitely be back.

    I was very excited to try this Malaysian place. They actually do a Thai fusion with it, but it's…read morereally leans more to Malaysian flavors. Their tea is amazing. You can tell they brew it and it doesn't come from a syrup. When I sat down, I was instantly greeted, and there were like four different people serving my table, I think that they all work as a team to make sure everything is covered. The service was just amazing. Restaurant is beautiful, the booths were , small and intimate and you feeling that you in place with privacy and yet part of the group ....kind of interesting how they've done that. But the food! The food was outstanding, first they gave me a complementary appetizer of Jasmine sticky rice with this eggplant chutney, that was very tasty, a teeny bit spicy, but really good depth with flavor. Then my beef Samosas arrived. There were four, wrapped in like a triangle rapper, smaller than the Indian version of the same, and the flavor was very tasty, and corn and small chopped potatoes, yum! The two chutneys that came with it one was a cool cucumber, and the other was this sweet and spicy plum sauce. They made samosas!!! They could be soft and cool, or they could be delicious and spicy, depending on chutney you had them with and you had a third option.... There was a bed of pickled radish and carrot that really sit off the samosas as well and we're just delicious on their own. I devoured the entire thing. Then get the entrée. I had drunken noodles and I added the shredded pork... It was devastatingly tasty!!! the noodles were obviously done it a wok that's been seasoned to perfection. The wide noodles picked up all that deliciousness from the wok and then combined with the pork... heaven ! They had large pieces of bell pepper and tomatoes. very fresh onions... Just deliciousness. I was too full this time to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back and I will definitely try it next time

    I'm already excited to try this place again. Everything we tried was wonderful. We started with a…read morecomplimentary sticky rice and ordered the favorites sampler. The sampler gave us a chance to try four different items and came paired with four sauces. The meatball was probably the table majority favorite. There was also some meat wrapped in fried rice paper, that was my personal favorite. We were there in time for brunch and that was the highlight for me. Coconut chicken on top of a pandan waffle with coconut syrup. YUM!!!! French toast with flambé bananas and syrup, also YUM!!! There are quite a few options in that area, this is definitely a top choice
