"Bánh xèo aka Vietnamese savory crepe (the name is actually the sound when people make the dish, xèo xèo). One of my favorite ones, especially when it is cold. The dish just warm your soul up. Give it a try!!#Banhxeo#vietnamesecrepe#vietfoodindfw#crunchy#savory#dfwfood#dallasfood#dallasfoodie#arlingtontx#vietfood#misatastytravels"

"DO. NOT. EAT. HERE. As a fellow Asian-American, I strongly recommend you avoid this establishment if possible. Do not waste a second or dollar with this place. First off, this place is horrendous and filthy. The interior is crusty, the tables haven't been cleaned off, and the floors were sticky. I believe I may have seen a cockroach on the floor as well. Secondly, the service here is horrible and practically non-existent. There was a short, older Vietnamese lady who was our server that night (not sure if she's the owner?). To be blunt, she was extremely rude and did not accommodate to our one request. We had requested for a plate of lettuce on the side with our bun rieu. Much to our surprise and disappointment, this request was deemed to be unreasonable to our server. She told us that lettuce was only offered with specific dishes, and we would need to order "said" dishes if we wanted a side of lettuce. My dish contained lettuce, so they did have a supply of this in the back but they were too cheap to give it out. We didn't mind paying extra for it, but the server was set on not giving us any. Once the food had arrived, we did not see the server until the bill came. No refills were provided, and she did not bother to check in to see if we needed anything else. There is a section on the menu that states that a party of 6+ is automatically charged an 18% tip on the bill. However, I am unable to comprehend this charge given that the server did the absolute bare minimum and a terrible job. Lastly, there is an additional 4% fee that is added to the bill if you pay with a credit card. There is nothing that will indicate this charge on the menu or outside of the restaurant. So this definitely caught us off guard. We definitely felt like we got scammed after leaving this establishment! TL;DR - This restaurant is very below average, and I don't understand how this place has 4 stars on Google and Yelp. This restaurant is disgusting/dirty, service is horrendous, food was mid, automatic 18% tip is not deserved, and an additional 4% fee if you use a credit card (which I've never seen at a restaurant before). As I mentioned in the first paragraph, please do not waste your time and money here!"

"Wings, bun rieu, banh beo, 2 yogurts, 2 coconut jellies $60? $70? $80 even??? No. $110! Please please beware of these people when they ring you up. Ask for an itemized receipt please! Their food was amazing but I’m not about to get scammed again. Drove half an hour from FW on a Wednesday night. A friend has been recommending this spot for awhile about their wings. Wings weren’t bad at all. Takes half an hour to prepare as they warn you. We never received our hot teas. I asked them not to charge me for it. The lady said “oh no no, I won’t” …..only for her to scam me anyways somehow. I suppose I’m a wuss for writing this review instead of confronting her and demanding an itemized receipt versus this credit card slip. $130 after tip. I will come back JUST to see if they dare to scam me AGAIN. (And for the food of course ) please be careful guys! Also fair warning there is a 4% up charge for credit card transactions. Even with that, it should NOT have been $110!"

"Food was great. Large quantity and flavor was on point. We had fried rice to go and that was very delicious also. Will definitely come back. Btw, the crack coffee I called it is not for the week of heart."

"Nov. 2022 (4 Stars) Had a much better visit this time than the previous time. We ordered #20 - Topioca udon with crab, shrimp and fish cake, #23 - Seafood flat noodle, and #28 - Vermicelli soup with crab shrimp, tofu, tomatoes. Food is really good! Nov. 2021 (3 Stars) We were disappointed to order the spring rolls and several other dishes only to be told that they were out. It was only around 5:30 PM. What we did order was actually quite good. We got the Vermicelli Soup with Beef & Pork Patty, Vermicelli Soup with Shrimp, Tofu, & Tomatoes, and the combo fried rice. They seemed short-handed and service was delayed at times. The waiter was apologetic. I hope they can get more help. It's a good restaurant."
