The fact Bistro B is only rated a 3.5/5 is unfortunate. I'm honestly so upset I haven't heard of this place before now, but am very grateful to be in the know because I will definitely be a regular (so long as the issues I've seen in some of the reviews has been permanently resolved). The inside of the restaurant is really spacious & beyond what you order to eat, there are additional grocery items and other knickknacks for purchase that you can enjoy. There's large windows running around the perimeter of the building, so you can see into infinity and beyond...as far as the parking lot and nearby stores go lol. Since it's close to the Lunar New Year there's extra decor they've placed both indoor and outdoor, which is really cool to see. When it comes to food, they have an extensive selection to choose from. I really enjoy that they have a lot of photos to reference in their menu, especially for people like me that like to get an idea of what I'm ordering. During this visit I ordered their salmon vermicelli dish (Ca Hoi Nuong) , pork belly spring rolls & their Nem Chua Heo aka "vampire meat" I found over in their grocery area. Everything was made fresh to order & absolutely delicious. The vermicelli dish is quite huge portion wise, so come hungry or plan to have leftovers. The spring rolls were to die for. I've never had pork belly spring rolls and just loved the crunch from the skin bits they added in there, the moistness and rich flavor of the meat, chewiness of the rice paper & really well made peanut sauce. I'm so tempted to drive back over there just for those. The nem chua was also good, but just good lol. It's very similar to salami in taste if you've never had it before, but has a slight sweetness to it. I must warn that it is on the spicier side once you eat it as intended with the garlic & chili on top so have a drink ready. Overall I think this was the best $30 I've spent in a while. I can't wait to come back. read more

Don't expect exceptional service at any traditional casual Vietnamese restaurants. The focus is the food because that's basically all you're getting. Bistro B has always been super well known in the Vietnamese community. Growing up, every time I would come-I would get the basic pho and spring rolls. I haven't been since 2017 that I've gone and now I have a friend who's a super adventurous eater like me, so I got to choose around the menu. The menu blew me away because what place has a Vietnamese household's traumatic childhood staples like bittermelon soup?!? This entire meal was incredibly nostalgic and heart-felt for me especially since I haven't been back to Vietnam since COVID has happened. This is truly the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever been to. Food ordered; - 707. Periwinkle in Spicy Tamarind Sauce (ỐC HƯƠNG SỐT ME): I have never seen a Vietnamese restaurant with snails before. I remember eating this all the time in the streets of Vietnam. The sauce and Vietnamese coriander were incredible along with the snail texture. - 23. Asian Crepe with Shrimp and Beef (BÁNH XÈO TÔM THỊT): It tasted like a solid definition of what Banh Xeo is supposed to be. The size of it though is insane to me. I've had Bánh Xèo at other restaurants-which are made to normal sizes, but this size is insane. Definitely ended up being leftovers. _ 119. Angel vermicelli served with grilled pork, and roast pork belly (BÁNH HỎI THỊT NƯỚNG VÀ HEO QUA): It tasted like how it is supposed to take. Definitely great dish as well. Portion size is also huge as well, so leftovers as well. Drink order: 413. ARTICHOKE BOM - NƯỚC MÁT (Artichoke Drink, Jelly, Basil Seed): I often get artichoke tea, so I was super excited to show my friend who has never had this before. It was way too sweet for us, but adding water into it definitely made it better. BTW, he ordered the durian smoothie which also tasted good, but it was less naturally tasteful than other places. Overall, this is the best authentic Vietnamese food I've had in a very long time. If you're an adventurous eater, I would definitely recommend trying something different other than spring rolls, pho, fried rice, or chow mein. Everything is super acquired though, but I truly do recommend if you're opened to it. ALSO, this has also been the best service I've ever had at a Vietnamese place. You don't come in ever expecting service. However, the lady who took care of us brought us new fresh plates for our new dish which shocked us especially as servers from an upscale restaurant. Water did take a while to refill, but the change of new plates blew us away. Thus, the food, service, and the super authentic and nostalgic ambiance definitely was an amazing experience. We are definitely coming back for more snails and other dishes!! read more

You absolutely should check out this Vietnamese restaurant right in the Richardson area. They have an extensive menu - like a laminated book, really. I love their soups and their stir fries. Their spring rolls are to die for! So crispy and delicious. There are many vegetarian options here. They also have an extensive boba menu. Everything on the menu is affordable and filling. The space is highly decorated with mini-lanterns and big screen TVs. Whether you're bringing a group with you to dine in, or grabbing something to go, you can't really go wrong. read more

Bistro B!! I LOVE YOU!! The pork eggrolls are hands down the best eggrolls I've ever had in Texas!! Not only are they delicious - but the PRICE ($0.50 cents per eggroll), FOR THE QUALITY!?!??!?!?! UNBEATABLE. I came and grabbed a box for a family get together and they were such a hit!! Also - the customer service was great and the decor was so cute and classic!! 100000000/10 HIGHLY recommend!! read more

I went here for a work event and ordered a sandwich and some egg rolls, a bowl of Pho, and finished it off with some avocado boba. Overall this was a good experience! This restaurant is very reasonably priced and you get so much food. The broth was flavorful, the egg rolls and pork belly sandwich were delicious and crispy, and all the toppings on the table made it easy to elevate your plate with the flavors you like. The ambiance was nice, but nothing social. Our waiter was attentive and we all got our orders quickly and correctly. Overall a good restaurant. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if there was gathering here, or I needed cheap, good food... then this is the place. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning and let me tell you, this atmosphere was electric at 1pm. They had deli food ready to go also and a lot of authentic Vietnamese treats and food. We got the BBH and I got the steak platter. The service was awesome and the food came out quick. For all the food you get its prices are also great. I give this place a 9/10. Can't wait to come back read more

#72 and Bo Kho (beef stew) with glass noodles instead of egg noodles were both excellent!! Served piping hot with super fresh ingredients. I eat a LOT of Vietnamese stew and this is as good as it gets, in the metroplex. Food was 5 star. The menu is extensive, largest Vietnamese menu I've ever seen. The plates and bowls were noticeably higher quality. Service from our waitress seriously lacked, only saw her when we ordered. Another waiter actually gave us good service by topping off of water and bringing an extra bowl. We were the only table in sight without a lazy susan of condiments (soy sauce, fish sauce and sriracha). Waitress never returned to check and I never saw her to flag her down. I had to flag down a different waiter to get the check and pay. One star deduction and my tip should've gone to the other waiters who helped us. Ambiance is trendy Asian, bright, busy and LOUD. Warning to those with sensory issues. My elderly mom with dementia was overwhelmed with the environment. Busy and loud are expected when a place stays packed because the food is crazy good. I highly recommend. read more

Man, we were really looking forward to tonight's dinner... We were not expecting our food to be served as quickly as it was! Unfortunately, that didn't help, it seemed like everything was pre-made & served lukewarm. Their General Tso chicken was hard, as if it had been cooked earlier that day and just sauced & served when we ordered it. For some reason my kid ordered pho, and it was not served until we were 1/2 way done eating. The egg rolls we ordered were not fresh... overall this was not a pleasant experience. This will likely be our last time we eat here. Hopefully we can still pick up their egg rolls and be happy with them. read more

This place is a drive from where we live in McKinney, but worth it. We've been there a couple times with fairly decent sized groups so we had the opportunity to try a lot of things on their menu. They have a dish (#117) that has 3 types of beef rolls which come with vermicelli, fish sauce, and an assortment of pickled veggies and lettuce. This is one of my favorite dishes and not a lot of Vietnamese places have this on their menu. I knew this is what I had to order and I was absolutely satisfied. I left filled to the brim even after sharing with others in our party. Their beef dishes were delicious, the fish sauce wings are huge and still crispy despite being drenched in sauce, and the chicken and salted fish fried rice was good. The papaya salad is not flavorful at all so we doctored it up with the condiments at the table. The salt and pepper squid was ok, but I've had better. They have a lot of dessert drinks/boba that are really good. Service is not good over all. Once seated it takes forever for someone to come back to take the order. The last time we had to go and grab someone after waiting so long. The first time our server was kind of rude and didn't really check on us after the food came out. The second time, our server was much nicer, friendlier, and more helpful. I say this so that you know what you're getting. Even with that, this place is worth it. Huge space, great for groups, a little over stimulating with the decor and sounds at times. read more

This place has an extremely extensive menu that I really do think there is something for everyone here to eat. There's a lot of bright, colorful lights upon entrance, and the place seems always packed. The fried tofu we ordered was crispy, lightly flavored with salt and pepper. Perfect for vegetarians. The fried pork we ordered was also delicious. It's bone-in if that's not something you're looking for. We also ordered snails in coconut sauce which is a rare menu item to be found. It was really creamy and delightful. It did take some time for us to get the waiters attention for the receipt so we can go to the front to pay. Not pictured here but we also bought some matcha cookies at the counter. The cookies are huge! It's still soft on inside but crispy outside and we really enjoyed it. Overall all the dishes we ordered were really delicious with ample portions, and I highly recommend the restaurant if you're looking for a solid Vietnamese place to try. read more

I go here often and the last time I went, got the Fried/Steamed Dumplings, Shaken Beef Fried Rice and the Honey Lemongrass Chili Spare Ribs. Everything tasted fantastic! The Fried/Steamed Dumplings turned out to be the perfect appetizer, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. I have to say I definitely enjoyed the fried ones more. Both entrées had lots of flavor and the meat was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are excellent at this place (I've almost always gone home with leftovers) and prices are great! Plenty of seating inside and they have some tables outside as well. It's a pretty good spot with tons of options, there's something for everyone! read more

Great food for great price! We got 3 pho soups for the price of two! They did get my drink order wrong twice but that's okay and they took over 20 mins to take our order not sure if someone forgot that they had our table I had to go ask for a waiter. The ambiance is loud but it's okay. Would definitely visit again when in the area. read more

I went here on my team lunch outing as this is near work. The lanterns are definitely a draw. Inside was okay. It is somewhat dirty especially the bathrooms even though they look remodeled. The menu is quite a story though as they have 700 menu items which has a good assumption, the food is not fresh and frozen. They have an assortment of food from Chinese, lots of Vietnamese, drinks and sandwiches. You can not complain about the prices as they are cheap. I ended up getting 3 sandwiches for $10.50 as there is a buy 2 get 1 free. I ordered the crispy pork, pork belly and grilled pork. The food can be greasy and my stomach was hurting from last night till the morning. So have a strong stomach. I had the shrimp spring rolls and the egg rolls which was alright. Food does come out quickly. Service wise they did not come back and refill the water. The place does get busy. For some reason my co-worker and my sandwich came out last, but they put it on a big plate and you can see the aww these are good for the price. Would I come back here again, I probably would, but my stomach will hate me for it. read more

Bistro B - Orange chicken, egg fried rice, egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Think of this place like the Vietnamese version of the Cheesecake Factory with their huge menu and options. Don't wear nice clothes herể when you come eat. The smell of oily foods is going to linger in your jackets, ao dai, hair, everything! Pros: 1. Open til midnight 2. Great place to order a bunch of eggrolls for parties 3. Great deals like buy two Bánh Mì/Pho and get 1 Free 4. Fairly cheap pricing Cons: 1. Most of the foods are bland or overly greasy 2. The Che desserts are made with canned beans (so it's really salty) 3. Always a risk of getting the wrong dish after ordering more than 4 I personally recommend the salt and pepper squid (Mực rang muối). That dish is pretty good. Do NOT get anything that has mam nem as the dipping sauce. I have a strong gut and the sauce smelt horrendous. read more

Order through ChowNow in order to try and save the restaurant money. Biggest mistake ever. Order was accepted and delivery time provided. Unfortunately, when I contacted customer service after over an hour to inquire to my order, I was told their delivery window was within their acceptable range, but it still has not been picked up. When food finally arrived an hour and a half later, every single dish was ruined and an edible. Customer service repeatedly quoted the same line regarding acceptable time acceptable service. There is nothing acceptable about any of this. Will never use them again. read more

The food was too die for! They have so many options for food and drinks! I loved the unphogettable! The service could have been better, but it's ok because I understand that they were busy.

This was one of the most authentic Asian restaurants I've ever visited. There can be quite a wait for the food, but that's because this restaurant is incredibly busy and the food was fresh. Another YELPer stated that Bistro B is like a Vietnamese version of the Cheesecake Factory, and that's incredibly accurate. The menu is expansive with such varied delights. There's certainly something for everyone here. The food was glorious, though I could see how the loud volume, bright lighting, and menu can easily cause overwhelm for sensitive individuals. Order it to-go, if that's the case. The food is worth it. read more

Quick service and accommodating hours. The food was mixed reactions though. The spring rolls were fresh and crunchy with a great peanut sauce. The dumplings tasted liked store bought dumplings and the sauce was overly sweet and didn't taste very good. The bo luc lac was my favorite, perfectly cooked and steamed veggies were well done, rice was flavorful and not mushy. The noodles were not good, very limp and barely any flavor and the meat tasted old, like a chinese cafeteria. The banh mi was a good size and tasty as well, but the drinks were overly sweet and not mixed very well. Not sure if i'd come back on my own accord. read more

Was thoroughly impressed by the food quality, quantity and prompt service. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but after being seated our server was really quick at taking down our orders. The menu is EXTENSIVE and close to 500 items, and she would confirm each dish we ordered by the number. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the place was bustling and we had about a 20 minute wait. Highly recommend the tamarind soup and the salt/pepper spare ribs. It was so good, our group contemplated ordering more. Also grabbed a bao and some eggrolls for the plane ride back home. Both did not disappoint. read more

A lot of Vietnamese people trash on this place for now being truly authentic. Honestly, this place still makes Vietnamese food decently good. They have a huge menu with tons of options and are open late at night. My family usually eats here when we come back late from a road trip. We were able to get seated immediately despite the place being packed at 10 pm. We ordered the pepper steak, salt and pepper squid, cá kho tộ (salmon), canh chua ca, and curry shrimp. I really liked the beef and squid, tons of flavor and tender. Each dish has a ton of vegetables sautéed to perfection. This isn't exactly a place where I'd take my friends for Vietnamese food but it gets the job done for those late night eats. read more

Atmosphere: - Bustling and loud, which isn't a bad thing depending on your mood (haha). There are a ton of bright decorations, basically flagging you down to eat there if you're in the area. Overall, a pretty unique looking restaurant. Service: - Service was decent; I think it was so busy that waiters and hosts were just walking back and forth without any real assignments. There might be an order to things, but I wasn't really sure who my actual waiter was + when they would come back to take our orders, etc. Food/Drinks: - The Pho was okay. The most important part of Pho is the soup, which didn't really have too much depth. If anything, it might have been overly salty or packed with MSG, as many places do. I would recommend not getting the chicken Pho though, as it was quite woody and had the texture of a rubber band. - The Bahn-Mi wasn't bad. Although, I think the seasoning on the pork belly was spotty and not fully covered. I would occasionally get a super salty bit and then one with no seasoning at all. The pickled vegetables were nice and the bread was crispy though! Price: - Great prices, it was very value-centric. They have a couple deals on the Pho and Bahn-Mi, like buy 2, get one free - and even then the individual items were pretty cheap to begin with. read more

Visiting and staying with my best friend in Dallas for a few days. We were in the mood for Asian food and he quickly (not to mention very strongly) suggested we make a stop for that kinda grub here. During our drive, he warned us that the menu can and will be overwhelming - they literally have hundreds of items on their menu. "No doubt you'll find a few things..." he says. He wasn't kidding: HUNDREDS. And hundreds. AND HUNDREDS!!! He was right: I got a little bit overwhelmed. I took a long time to decide, and when I did, I ended up with 7 items. JUST FOR ME. That was just ridiculous, so I had to start the elimination process (which was soooooo hard to do!!!) (And I felt bad that it took our server a third stop before we finally made up our minds! But she was so cool about it!) MINI-CRISPY SHRIMP PANCAKES: It was either this or the Banh Xeo, but I figure this is easier to share. Good crisp on the outside. Soft chew on the inside. These were some crispy savory goodness! Paired with vege and dip delish. We all enjoyed this! EGG ROLLS: This was a bargain at 3pcs for less than 2 bucks. It was fried a little too done for me, but great, flavor wise. The veggies and dip elevated the flavor some. Yum. EGG LOAF, SHREDDED PORK, FRIED SHRIMP TOFU, EGG SAUSAGE, 5 SPICE CHICKEN, SUNNY EGG: I forgot what it's # was on the menu, but it was the "5 spice" part that locked me in. Here's the breakdown: chicken was flavored great, but it was a little dry. Egg loaf was soft and moist, as was the shrimp tofu. Shredded pork was like the chicken, seasoned well but also a little dry. Sausage was okay, and the sunny side up egg added texture to each bite. (I had bits of it with each bite of protein.) Way too much food for one person, they are generous. There's plenty for two! Green tea smoothie was refreshing. Perfect sugar level. I got to taste their pho broth which had plenty of depth. And the drunken noodles?! *Insert chef's kiss here!* FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 5. All levels of staff, soooo nice and friendly! VALUE: 5. You get WAAAAYY more than your money's worth!!! PARKING: Shared with many spots. NOT AN ISSUE. OVERALL: 4.5. It's pretty popular during their lunch rush. Plenty of people coming through and most tables were occupied the whole time we were there. TIP: Buy 2, get 1 free banh mi's! Take advantage of it! But fantastic first run! On my radar now for the next time I come through town! It's really good to have friends who know good eats! read more
