    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.

    Menu

    Sit down anywhere that's open. Menus everywhere, just grab one. Service is fast one you decide want you want. They have an area with ready to go boba and sodas. Food was really good. Hidden gem for sure. Plenty of tables and they're spaced out enough that you can enjoy conversation and not have to hear other tables.

    The service is good very calm place maybe becuase we came in when there wasn't a rush but good service. The tables were clean everything was well organized no sticky seats or tables. The food was AMAZING!!! It is so good i payed $11 for this huge bowl of Pho it had an egg, kimchi, noodles, broth, brisket, veggies, it was soo filling very very good delicious food. The spice level was good it wasn't too spicy to the point where you can't taste the food and my tolerance isn't that good for spice I can't eat a bag of takis withought chugging water. Spice is there but isn't insanely spicy. If you want to pay good prices for good filling tasty food eat here. Very good you need to try this place out delicious delicious food highly recommend.

    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

    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.

    Came here for the bánh ít ram while my sis came to visit me. We actually had bánh ít ram in Vietnam…read morebefore and loved it, so I was really excited to see it on the menu. It's a Hue specialty, so it's not something you can find at just any Vietnamese restaurant. The bánh ít ram was good and I would order it again. It wasn't the best I've ever had, especially compared to what we had in Vietnam, but it was still good enough to satisfy the craving. Definitely worth trying if you're a fan of Hue food or bánh ít ram! A bonus about this restaurant is that the service was really great and everyone was just so sweet. The restaurant was also well kept and nice.

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.

The setting is one of its biggest highlights--surrounded by greenery while still being conveniently located near major roads. There's plenty of free parking, making it an easy stop. The customer service was excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff who made the visit enjoyable. The food was good and tasted very fresh, although I was expecting a little more depth of flavor. Since I don't enjoy spicy food, it's possible that much of the boldness comes from the heat, so others may have a different experience.

    All of y'all are tripping. This place is terrible. I don't know why the reviews are so good…read more I came in around 6pm with my family. 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.

    Saucy's offers authentic and delicious Thai food. Definitely the best I've had since being in Texas…read moreand I highly recommend it. We went with the Tom Kha soup and papaya salad as starters and pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao as entrees. First, I'll kick off the review with a note about spice levels, when they say 1-5 this is not a time to be cute. 2 is plenty spicy for most consumers. The Tom Kha soup was honestly the best soup I've ever had! Not just best Thai soup, but best soup in general. I highly recommend it. Excellent flavors dance on the tongue with every taste. The papaya salad was okay, but had us googling and referring to Yelp reviews to see if it actually had Papaya included. It's a white variation of the fruit, so yes, it is incorporated within the salad. It's okay but wasn't the highlight of the night. The pad Thai is exceptional once you mix the peanuts in throughout. That provides the perfect blend of flavors. The Pad Kee Mao was delicious. Excellently seasoned and tasty. Again, here is where I go to the spice levels. I am someone who loves spicy foods, but at level 3 I found myself at the edge of what I would like. That said, it was a delicious dish. Absolutely loved the taste experience and would highly recommend.
