    The food was delicious. My sister has been here many times and has commented how she is delighted that they have such a large variety of delicious Vietnamese dishes. My favorite is the beef pho, it is a combination of beef meats and meatballs. The service is great. I was so impressed by the decorations for lunar new year. My sister has MS and is walking with the assistance of a cane. She had no problem navigating through the restaurant to the restroom.

    Grateful for my friends telling me about this place. It's a True hole in the wall that was worth the drive! I've been craving for my mom's cooking, specifically ca kho and canh chua. OMG they had it at this restaurant, and it was so good. They have many traditional dishes that my mom made for us in the past, so we'll have to come back. Service was great! The only thing that we wouldn't get here again are the desserts which were incredibly sweet.

    I got a to go order! The place is nice and casual inside. The cashier was friendly and the service was fast! I really like that they had vegan options! I ordered a banh mi and spring rolls and they were both delicious!

    I've eaten at What The Pho many times and the food is always delicious. This Vietnamese eatery, though it boasts a quite wide-ranging menu, is a favorite because of its fresh and flavorful food, in addition to its fresh fruit juices. The food's freshness and outstanding deliciousness are consistent. There's something for everyone to enjoy, whether it's a hearty bowl of pho, a classic banh mi (BOGO deals, anyone?), or a comforting plate of rice or noodles. The extraordinarily generous portions offer exquisitely balanced flavors. The quick as well as efficient service makes it a great spot for a casual meal. For an outstanding dining experience, try What The Pho, you won't be disappointed!

    I love "What the Pho" off Parker road. They always take care of me and get my order correct. The young ladies and man up front are very sweet and a joy to talk too. They're so nice and know me by name. They take good care of us in making our orders phenomenal and delicious. I was feeling under the weather plus it's getting cold here in north Texas so, I decided to pick up my health and feel better with some heart warming pho. Go get this on a cold day-you will not regret and you will feel much better after this hit of delicious comfort food. I got the chicken pho ga and it was yummy to my tummy. I am feeling better now. Don't delay and go warm up your soul and enjoy some hot, delicious pho on a cold day. Oh yeah-I miss the Christmas decorations-so I posted them too.

    The decoration is very nice and the whole restaurant is clean and organized. The food is very but very good and the flavors are top notch! Definitely recommend this place for family, couples or any single person that would like to enjoy great Vietnamese food. Polite service

    Vietnamese ice coffee with ice cream/whip cream

    I never knew this establishment existed and I see why, bc it's located in the very back of the strip mall next to CVS and Jack In The Box. It's so easy to overlook for sure. First of all, I have to say that this Vietnamese restaurant is nothing like I've been to before. The menu is extensive(see pictures)and some dishes are very unique and very appealing. I've decided on spicy shrimp cakes(delicious), curry rice noodles soup with shrimp(very tasty)and Vietnamese ice coffee with ice cream and whip cream(so good). PB ordered summer rolls with shrimp(grilled shrimp), beef pho and he really liked the spicy shrimp cakes, he finished them for me. He also ordered lemonade(refreshing)and chocolate chip cookie. Our server was great. He didn't even write down our order and he got them right! Inside the restaurant was very spacious and airy. They sell Vietnamese rice puddings in different flavors(I've had them before in Hawaii. They're delicious). They also sell their own fish sauce which I had to purchase one. They have all sorts of cookies and shrimp chips(I love them)for sale. This restaurant will be our new "go to" Vietnamese restaurant from now on as we've been looking for one since one by our place has changed hands. I highly recommend it. We felt like we were eating home cooked meals at someone's house.

    Pho menu.. just a page. They've actually got a large, incredibly delicious sounding menu.

    Clean, modern look and feel. Staff was welcoming although they did t check on me once I was served which I found a little odd. Maybe it was because I was here kinda late, around 8. They were nice enough though. The menu is extensive and they have several vegan options. I got the pho and it had interesting vegetables which made for a pretty presentation and a good soup. I did have to let it cool down before I could really eat it cause it was nuclear hot. I'd definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

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.

    Overall: 4.4/5 [dine in]…read more We love the decoration inside. They hang Vietnamese artifacts everywhere from snacks to comic books to stickers, and the walls are covered with pictures of their extensive menu. It took us a while to decide on just two items but we will definitely be back. One thing to note is that they do not have a tip option when paying with a credit card since it is self service, so bring cash to tip. They also have self service iced tea which is a nice touch. Rice Cracker With Vegetable and Caramelized Sauce / Com Chay Kho Quet Rau Luoc ($17.50): Wow, finally a place that has this and does it right. The rice crackers were crispy but not hard and the kho quet was umami and had a nice spicy kick. The rice crackers and vegetables paired perfectly with the sauce. This is the best kho quet I have ever had and it made my husband's top 3, which is saying a lot since he grew up in Vietnam. Combination Sticky Rice / Xoi Man ($12.50): I loved the flavor combinations, especially the pate with the rice. I would have liked the rice to be a bit stickier since there were a few harder chunks, but I just ate those with the kho quet sauce and it was fine. You also get a generous amount of protein, especially the hard boiled egg slices. We were completely full after just these two dishes. Longan Coconut Water / Nuoc Dua Nhan Nhuc ($7.75): Unfortunately we did not like this drink. The flavors just were not right for us.

The place was totally dead but there were still dirty tables no one even bothered to clean. Like another reviewer said, the staff blared Tejano music. I mean, whatever, Vietnamese food isn't that tricky to make. My husband ordered pho that didn't taste like pho. I got a pork rice bowl that legit had meat with hair and cartilage (I think it was ear, maybe snout?). I mean, I'm Pinay, I love sisig but for a $14 rice bowl, you think it would have better quality meat rather than ear! My kid had a tiny $8 quesadilla. We had two coconut Viet coffees. The flavor and texture were "off;" the Keurig coffee I make at home is thicker. Our meal was over $50 before tip. Idk how this place has been surviving or where all these reviews came in from, but damn, stop lying y'all.
