    Bun rieu. Delicious. Very big portion sizes
    Nhu H.

    Don't let the exterior of this place deter you from trying it out. This is a hole in the wall mom and pop type of establishment that serves some pretty solid Vietnamese food. My husband and I came on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly were the only ones inside. Unfortunately they were not serving banh xeo that day so we ordered the banh beo (steamed shrimp rice cakes) to start. They were MASSIVE. It was a little too much rice flour for my liking though. For entrees my husband had the bun bo hue and I had the bun rieu. Based on all the yelp reviews it sounds like most people come for the bun bo hue and it did not disappoint. My husband really liked it. My bun rieu was also very good. Food portions were massive for the noodles as well. We could barely finish our food. Prices were very reasonable.

    We LOVED this place! We got a bunch to share and enjoyed everything. We took our non Vietnamese friends and they ate everything too. Our favorites were the mi quang and the nuoc mam wings. The wings take a while so make sure to either call ahead or order it asap, it's so worth it though because the portion is huge. Service was great and food besides the wings came out super fast.

    Big Fan, as local as it gets, central vietnamese cuisine I would say. Nice quick service, its your standard vietnamese mom n pop interior, if youre familiar with that. They can host large party events

    Bun Bo Hue

    I was so happy to find a place that stays open a little later than most restaurants. A bowl of bún bò Huế sounded so good, so we decided to come to Thuy Nguyen for a late dinner. We had a party of six, and it was quite busy considering it was around 10 p.m. It was also loud in the room next to the restaurant, I believe they host private parties and karaoke over there. Between the six of us, we ordered three phở, two bún bò Huế, and one bún riêu. Oh my, the excessive amount of sugar in each dish completely ruined our meal...everything was way too sweet! The service was great, though, so one extra star for that. But as for the food, no thank you.

    Went at 7:30p on a Friday and it was pretty quiet inside. Lots of to go orders. Food was great and service was pretty quick. I will definitely be back!

    Pho Thuy Nguyen

    Saw this place recommended for pho on a facebook group. We saw a few people say this was their top. So I'll start by saying that they are not welcoming. The older lady with the ponytail was definitely the most unfriendly. There was an older gentleman who greeted us and advised us to have a seat anywhere we'd like. We ordered the Spring Rolls with Shrimp and Pork for appetizers. They were okay but lacked flavor. I will say that they are pretty big in portion and had high hopes. The peanut sauce as so bland that I tried adding red chili paste to it but it did nothing. It didn't help that it had no spice whatsoever. Which leads me to the pho. I usually add the red chili paste to my pho because I like extra spicy. It did nothing. I had the 1- Phở Thủy Nguyên and my husband had the 19- Bún Thịt Nướng. The pho had potential but the broth was so bad on grease that it made the consistency a bit thick. I wasn't a fan of that. My husband wasn't a fan of the excessive peanuts but other than that he really enjoyed his plate. I don't know how they handle tipping here. When we paid the same lady checked us out, my husband tried handing over a tip and she looked at him a little crazy. So he just put it down on the counter and we left. The establishment seemed okay as far cleanliness but could use a little more work. I think it may be family owned and operated. I didn't look much into it or read about it other than the pho recommendation on Facebook. It's just very unwelcoming and for that reason we won't be back.

    My sis and her partner took us to this spot bc they open late at night. We just arrived and they were already so busy with only two people running the front and two people cooking in the back. Very impressive. We ordered Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings. These are bone in - very good and crispy. Great flavor. Ask for white rice to balance out the flavor. Kinda wish it came with some side veggies like cucumber or tomato. Overall very good. 5/5 stars Bun Bo hue- this is more on the sweeter fattier side. I like mine a bit more lemon grassy which I wasn't able to taste as much in the broth. Flavor is still good. 4/5 Service was friendly! It wasn't fast bc they were busy but efficient enough. Last note: We paid in cash so we didn't have to pay the 4% fee on credit card.

    You can find flavorful authentic Vietnamese dishes here. When I crave soup in the area this is where I think of. My goto usually are bun bo hue, banh canh, mi quang, bun rieu and banh beo

    Bahn beo
    Matthew C.

    Service is awesome. Bahn xeo, bahn beo, BBH, pho, udon pork soup, chicken wings... Everything I've ordered is delicious! Definitely recommend a visit or 10 lol

    Banh xeo
    Angelina C.

    Wooohoo! Another great viet spot to hit in dfw. We got banh beo, banh xeo, & bun bo hue to share between 3 and it was the perfect amount. Banh beo and BBH was my fav probably. I wish the banh xeo was slightly crispier and contained more shrimp/pork as it did get soggy and break on me. However, the flavors were definitely there!

    Our large group stopped by for a post wedding lunch and easily filled the whole restaurant turning the busy schedule to busier than normal, yet the owners accommodated our large party like a champ. We ordered the Pho Thuy Nguyen, Pho Thuy Duoi Bo, Mi Quang, and Bun Rieu Cua. I quite liked the variety of herbs, spices and meats across all four orders. My favorite was the Mi Quang that came with an assortment of pork meats and herbs. The bowl of egg noodles had a separate bowl of tomato soup. Quite good!

    Wings

    Hands down the best spot in Arlington. Very clean and spacious. The service was great and the sweet tea was perfect. I ordered the pho and it was delicious and plenty of it too. We also tried the wings (18 of them!) and they had amazing flavor. The spring rolls were fresh, and the peanut sauce was so good, definitely homemade and not store bought. Highly recommend! (Only got a photo of the wings)

    Good food and good customer service. Lau thai (thai hot pot) is a must try if you like something spicy.

    Definitely worth it!!…read more Food 5/5: it was so good!!! It was late in the night and my Vietnamese cravings led me here and it did not disappoint! I got Bun Bo Hue, fish sauce wings, and their special rice plate. No one can beat my mom's cooking but this is coming in close. Sometimes the soup would be too bland but this was perfect. Service 5/5: it was late and I felt bad but they took good care of us and made sure we had what we need. Ambiance: it felt like home! They had the Vietnamese street videos on and I love it. Parking: free parking!

It also came with a fried egg on top. It was delicious, the veggies were crunchy and fresh. The chicken was so tasty and very good, it had great flavor. It was really good blend of sweet, savory, and umami. It also came with a little side of fish sauce to add to the dish too. All in all it was a good dish. However, the portion size was small. I cleaned up that entire dish and didn't leave anything behind, I even ate the lettuce wrap. I've been to different Vietnamese restaurants with the same price point, and I've been given a larger portion size with leftovers to take home. That's my only qualm with this place and that's why it's 4/5 stars for me. Service was good, they did a good job taking care of a large group. I'd recommend this place.

The bread was great and tasted fresh and fluffy. Overall I would bring people who to try an abundance of different Vietnamese dishes.

It was juicy, tender and had just a tad of fat in it. The lemongrass came off a little strong but that's the way I like it. The portion size is just crazy, I couldn't even finish it! We also had the sliced pork over broken rice was just as flavorful, but the meat was a bit dry. The nuoc mam (dipping sauce) helped with the dryness, but it was a little too sweet for my taste so I didn't use much. The ambiance was pretty chill on a Friday afternoon. There were 5 other tables and non-stop Door-dash orders/pick-ups. The servers were super friendly, especially the little older Asian lady. She was so polite and inviting, such a sweetheart. I can't want to come back to try other items in their menu!
