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
Mimi L.

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)

First time here and loved it! Big servings! Worth it for sure! Very cozy place and i will for sure come by again with others

Spring rolls. They put fried shallots and whole peanuts in the peanut sauce so it was extra delish!

Got hungry after Round one and noticed most places close by 9pm. This place was open and my hubby loves Vietnamese food so we dropped by. He didn't like this pho dac biet much but my bun rieu was ok. The spring rolls were hearty. I give them props for putting fried shallots and whole fried peanuts in the peanut sauce so it was very flavorful. I think we saw 3 workers in total and the place was half packed so they did pretty good for a staff of 3.

Ahhh finally some pho I like in Arlington! Not too bland like the ones that cater for white people. Thick slices of meat, chili oil that's spicier than the usual. Most importantly broth was pretty grrrreeat!!!! Initially was scared because it smelled too herbal but once I tried it, it was perfect. Not until the bottom of the soup (last 1-2 gulps) that's a bit herbal and sweet but that's just from all the stuff sinking to the bottom. It's my new go to spot.

See all

The oxtail hot pot was delicious. Service was fairly slow, but the food made up for it.
