This fusion is a perfect match and the menu exquisitely executes pairing the flavorful food of these two cultures. The restaurant has vibrant decor and murals that transport you to a diverse neighborhood. Every employee who helped us was approachable and kind, checking on us after we were seated and served, going as far as taking photos for us when we asked because we were celebrating our anniversary, and bringing out things we asked for once we were seated. It seems basic to say that, but the warmth and kindness was felt from each employee we interacted with, and I don't want to gloss over their good service. Our order: - Angry Pho Birria Platter - Elote + Chips - Strawberry Lemonade - Ube Horchata The pho (a little spicy) and bao (a little sweet with super tender meat) will make you want to do a happy dance. The wings could have been a little crunchier but they were sauced so it's understandable. The Bang Bang and Spicy Chili flavors were delicious. The Birria tacos were good, but we loved everything else on the platter more. The Elote + chips starter was authentic and yummy. The chips felt like an odd pairing, but it tasted good together! The Strawberry Lemonade was sweet but refreshing. The Ube Horchata was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the ice didn't ruin it. Know before you go: - Arrive early! We got there when they opened at 11 AM on a Friday. Two other parties were already there and waiting to dine, as well. By 11:30 AM, a nice-sized crowd had rolled in. They had no problem getting everyone served quickly, though. - You order and pay first, grab a seat, and then they bring your food out to you. - Yes, the platter sizes are sufficient for two hungry adults to fill up on! You might even have trouble finishing it all. - Their online menu has awesome pictures of each platter option. The platters look smaller in person than in those photos, but as I said, you will definitely get full. - My husband, who is not a pho lover, loved the Angry Pho. - They are closed on Saturdays and Mondays. - They have gluten-free and halal options. read more

Don't walk, you gotta run and try this place!! All the dishes are Vietnamese fusion and nothing I've ever had before. It's one of a kind and they execute so well! It's so freakin good! Literally a flavor bomb in every bite! They have an extensive menu with so many unique dishes. It was hard to order one dish so we just had to order it all :) The Saltado was the best I've ever had! It was so bomb! The fries were somehow still crispy even though it's tossed in this delicious sauce! Meat was tender and melt in your mouth good! I also loved the burger! We cut pieces so we can all try the different dishes, and I kept cutting pieces of the burger! I've also been on a burger kick lately to try to find the best burger and this one is high up the list! It was surprisingly hot for a good 15 mins. The meat was well seasoned and the onion, cheese meat and sauce all blended so well. Little bit salty and a little bit sweet with the grill onions. The wings were also crispy with this nice sweet chili sauce! Cooked to perfection! I really liked the curry pho! It's a green curry with a little kick to it. They have quite a few different vegan options and this is a dish that can be made vegan. You can dip the Birria tacos in this pho consume which is so fire! It's so good you just want to drink it up lol I added some of their habenero hot sauce and it was just the perfect birria bites. The phorrito is pho filling wrapped in rice and fried! You gotta wash all these delicious meals down with a lychee peach tea! It hit the spot lol it was so refreshing with the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. This is a must try place if you're in the area! read more

Food/Drinks: As it was my first time dining here, I thought that ordering something tried and true would be the best choice, so I ordered Pho with Rare Steak and Brisket. But the second I had a bite of my partner's Viet Shaking Beef Burrito, all bets were off--I was hooked on my first bite. It was as unconventional as it was tasty--even more so with the sauce they serve on the side--and everything married well together. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was pretty good, with a strong coffee taste, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Service: Unfortunately, our food went to the wrong table, and we were served an item we didn't order. But that's trivial--overall, service was alright. Food came out pretty quick, despite the rush. Also, one of the servers was kind enough to checked in on us and asked how everything was. Ambiance: Casual, cultural, eclectic. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza. read more

I have been visiting the restaurant for years all the way back to around the time they first opened for business. Cris and John are always working on ideas for new items to be added to their menu while still keeping a few of the traditional classics there for the long time visitors such as myself.

Throughout the years the quality and flavor of their food has definitely improved immensely! My favorite dish is still their pho-dilla (think pho quesadilla with melted cheese). I was surprised at how much flavor was in their Thai curry pho. Our group enjoyed that one. They're always coming up with new drinks and fusion dishes so I appreciate how there's always something new to try. read more

I've been to Cris & John since they were at the original location. I've tried a lot of dishes from them, while some were bad (such as bo la lot), there are still some that are pretty good. This time, I got the Phorrito and the Angry pho with brisket, along with a horchata. The horchata was delicious and refreshing, it had a lot of cinnamon flavor but I wish the drink could be more creamy. The phorrito was great and I love the broth they gave on the side. I think it's a bit more concentrated than the regular broth they use for pho. The pho itself was good, it's not your traditional Viet pho you get outside, it's more of a fusion pho where the broth isn't clear at all. If you're coming here for the first time, I would recommend trying out the platters so that you could try out more food all at once! read more

So far looking at the pricing very accommodating especially for this economy that's a super plus !! The angry Pho definitely leaves up to its name. The soup with the combination of the tacos just makes everything pop!! Energetically, chaotic, fun space to come with family and friends. They even give you your own personal water jar. Definitely a 10/10 it's on Preston rd come check them out ! It's irresistible delicious // Man oh Man I'm telling you there Agua Frescas be heavenly refreshing the sweet and spicy wings that come on the platter the sweetness compensate the chicken how it's seared instead of meat and then you have the spice that gives you that kick off of that first juicy bite very tasty read more

Met up with some friends and was looking forward to trying something different. When I pulled up I was happy to see that they have a private parking lot with plenty of parking space. As I walked up I noticed that they have outside seating available (although with the pollen, today that wasn't even an option for me). As I got inside there was a nice little crowd and there was some confusion as to if we sit and order or order and sit however I caught the sign which let us know we order and sit and they bring the food to you. They have a lot of things on the menu to choose from and they even have platters which can feed multiple people. I went with the egg rolls, the potstickers, and the rice plate adding beef belly. The guy tried to talk me into the saltado de carne however I didn't want the fries, so I went with what I ordered. I also got a peach lychee drink. Found a seat and the food came quickly! The egg rolls were my least favorite as it lacked flavor for me. I love potstickers (Mandu), these were okay, however once I was looking for something besides soy sauce to dip them in. The saltado de carne reminded me of bulgogi however has some tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers on the side. The rice was a little dry for me. My friend liked the peach lychee. For me it was sweet, where undiluted it with water. It also had chunks of I'm assuming lychee in the bottom (think boba). Overall it was a good meal. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. The place has a nice little vibe and I'd come back and try something else. read more

Came in at around 7 on a Friday and there was a line to the door! The line moved fairly quickly though but be prepared to wait to order/be seated (they seat you at the ordering booth). We got a platter and added the rajas egg rolls which were delicious!!!! The tamarind peach water was perfect too, not too sweet and the tamarind was not over powering. It was lively and bustling inside but with all the art and food it was a lovely experience. Plenty of vegan and halal options!! read more

This was not what I expected. I say that because is was way better. So much variety and the flavors were amazing. The team there there was helpful with recommending stuff on my first visit. The seats are metal and no super comfortable, but it fits the atmosphere of street food and eating outside, so I wouldn't change a thing there. The places fills up by noon weekdays, so plan ahead. Important- "Angry" is their word for spicy, so if you don't like it spicy, don't choose anything with "angry" in the name or tell them to not make it "angry". :) read more

I had been wanting to come here for so long and i finally made it! I was worried there would be a long wait but there was not at all. We got there at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. You order your food up front then go sit down and they bring everything out to you. I didn't love having to order upfront and then sit down and that's mostly because the decision was really hard on what to order cause everything sounded and looked amazing. I will say the food all came out really quickly and they were really good about finding where all the food went. We ordered a bunch of different plate plates at my table and everything was so good. I ordered the Elote, sweet chili wings, and ginger chicken tostadas, as well as the vanilla cookie Matcha. I took home a lot of leftovers and everything reheated great. The ginger chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I loved how many fun drinks they had. I just wish there were some more options to customize them as far as sweetness levels and milk. The vibes are immaculate. The decor is adorable. read more

Heard great things about this place and decided to do takeout for dinner. Their website and ordering process are very good. Arrived 5-10 min after my requested time and skipped the massive line (the place was buzzing with every table full and a long line at the order counter. The ambiance and vibe are super cute and fun! Will have to dine in one day). Order was ready and exactly as placed. We had the appetizer platter (love the fact they have multiple customizable platters so you can try lots of items), chicken phorito, several baos and tacos, and the noodles. Everything was tasty with some dishes being more unique in terms of tastes like the phorito and the baos. Noodles were standard. Would highly recommend but depending on when you go prepare to wait! read more

I visited this location with colleagues from work and I had the pho-rito and it was awesome. I never would have thought to coming Vietnamese and Mexican food, but this is brilliant. The service was fast and it's a good location though I wish one was closer to Denton so I could get my wife there one weekend, since she's works in Flower Mound and we don't usually want to drive back toward Dallas for dinner after I get home. Loved the location and atmosphere - very cool and my colleagues - one had the birria tacos - excellent; one had the pho-dilla - also excellent; and one also had a pho-rito. We shared the kimchee fries - another hit. I can't wait to return. read more

Visited Cris and John while in Texas for work by recommendation from my sorority sister. Whoever came up with this Viet-Tex fusion concept wins!!!!! It's a flavor party in your mouth.

I had a lychee peach tea with bits of lychee-YUM! From the food to the service, everything was on point. It's a small spot with charming decor, and the food comes out quickly without sacrificing quality. Most definitely a must-try! read more

Came by on a Sunday around 2 PM and the line was long (probably about a 25 minute wait) but honestly, it moved pretty smoothly and was worth it. The birria tacos were top notch, but the real standout was the dip. It had these subtle pho-like flairs to it that made it super rich and comforting. I found myself dunking every bite. Beautiful store. Their menu is pretty extensive too, which just means I already have a reason to come back and try more. The desserts also looked really fun and tempting.

I saw the great reviews and enticing photos and had to check it out. We walked in and there was a line to the door, where a sign let us know what to expect. There is no need to find a table in advance, one is provided at the cash register. There are menus on the wall, on the counter, and Yelp. The photos definitely do the menu items justice. The restaurant is bright, colorful, and has a very festive decor, like being at a party in the streets. The music was very upbeat. As for the food, we came on a Friday night after 6:30 pm. It took about 15 minutes to order, and another 45 to receive our food. We did notice some tables around us getting their food sooner, which might have been based on what was ready when they ordered. The chef sent out an order of Kimchi fries on the house for our patience, and they were delicious! My kids had the chicken nuggets and fries with specialty drinks. They loved their meal and drinks. My husband and I enjoyed the chicken and fish spring rolls, fishin' good, southern soul, and bo la lot skewers. The sauce with the skewers was delicious. The southern soul was wrapped in a soft bao bun, the chicken was seasoned well and crispy with sweet and tangy bit of spice. The fishin' good was a light flaky fish with crispy coating wrapped in lettuce, good stuff. The spring rolls were large and came with a tasty peanut sauce. I also enjoyed an aguas fresca- Jamaica. The size small was perfect, and there was a good balance of sweet and tart. The line was out the door and down the sidewalk when we left after 8pm. This is a must try, I plan to come back. read more

I have heard about this place, and when they moved closer to me I knew I had to try them. Today was they day, and I was in a hurry so I got it to go. I wanted a vegetarian option and the girl waiting on me suggested an option that I don't even know what it was. It was a fried sandwich with tofu with the chili option - I remember that part. I wish I could remember it because it was mouth watering delicious. Yes - I thoroughly enjoyed every bite, and I want to get another one soon, so let's hope I figure it out upon my next visit. They also advertised a hot chocolate drink that looks like heaven for any chocolate lover. It's on my "next time in" list of things I'm getting there. The place is really cute and functional. I enjoyed the wonderful art in the wall as you walk in and the lanterns. It make it feel charming. If you haven't tried them yet, you need to, they're just that good! read more

Genuinely one of the best fusion places I've been to!!! I can see why the line is out the shop and 30+ minutes long!! I came across this place on yelp and saw the unique menu and had to try it out. I came for dinner with my parents (3 people) and the line was wrapped around in the inside. You order at the front and they'll find a seat for your party. What we ordered: - Angry pho but with ramen noodles and added short rib - $13 + $6 This is such a good broth (im assuming is like a beef based Birria broth and tasted a little tomato-y) with ramen noodles! The broth is a little oily but it is overall sooo good!! The noodles are not too soft and not too hard! the short rib is also a must get because it's superrr tender. I feel like there's very little places that sell this kind of broth with ramen or pho so I would recommend this! - Birria and phorito platter - $40 Comes with: - (3) Birria Tacos With Angry Broth - (3) Bang Bang Wings - (3) Bang Bang Wings - Chicken Phorrito - Korean Fries The Birria tacos here are amazinggg they fill it up with good amounts of tender beef and cheese and the outside is crispy! The wings are also good you can choose which flavor you like from the menu. The chicken phorrito is soooo good! I think it's the most unique too! They add the sauce from pho and pho noodles in it and the flavor is soo good. You can also choose what type of meat you want in it. The Korean fries are not bad. You can also pick which flavor you want from the menu. This is a biggg platter so you can definitely share this with a group of 3-4 people! - Elote and chips - $7 I love corn so I loveddd this dish. The corn is like full (idk how to explain this) and it's my favorite type. The cups are crunchy and pairing this with seasoned corn is perfect. - Ube horchata latte regular - $7.50 This is my favorite drink from here!! It definitely has that ube taste and horchata taste. I would recommend drink this too!! - Matcha horchata latte large - $8.50 This drink is good too, there is that matcha taste with the horchata! It's a good drink if you're feeling more for matcha! It's sweet but not as sweet as the ube in my opinion. The inside is also well decorated! It's a mix of Vietnamese and Mexican culture which is really cool to see. There are two bathrooms for guys and girls so it can get a little crowded. There is seating inside and outside. I like how they find the table for you so you don't need to worry about ordering and reserving one. The servers are also friendly and very attentive. Overall we paid about $107 which can seem like a lot but if shared it's not that bad. As three people we had a lot leftovers. I don't know if they do but they should open a shop in SoCal because I feel they would also get a lot of customers there! I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come again and bring more people!!! read more

I walked in to Chris and John with 3 other family members. The system is simple and casual. They have their menu on the wall above thr register and you can take your time until you're ready to order. The line moved pretty quick the thursday I went. After reviewing their very diverse menu options I landed at. The Angry Pho Birria Platter which I shared with my sister. The Birria was very flavorful. The Tacos were my favorite. Personally I felt the sweetness of the bao buns conflicted with the savory profile of the Birria. The wings and Pho were great too but by the time I got to the Pho I was Birria'd out. The ambiance was nice and casual with many parties chatting and enjoying their time. Staff checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I will note is that they started putting chairs on tables about ten minutes before their closing time. I guess every place has their own rules, and we had no intentions of keeping them past their closing time, but it did feel as though we were being rushed out. Aside from that small aspect we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed everything on our trays. read more

FINALLY, I made it to Cris & John's! My only regret, wish I could've got there sooner. A gem in the Addison area, Cris & John is a Mexican-Vietnamese fusion spot offering some unique combinations. The Asian flavors and Mexican flare give a new definition to fusion. A small platter for one ranges between $20-$25 bucks, however the pairings offered are a good bang for the buck. Cris & John also recently just moved to a bigger space, this should minimize the wait times that occur during busy periods. Friendly staff help first timers and returners are frequent flyers. Add this place to your list while in Dallas. read more

This was one of the best restaurants I've been to - period. Mexican/Vietnamese fusion is not cuisine you commonly get in most other cities (I'd certainly not heard of any other place that had it) - but the fusion and combo were incredible. The flavors were so well-integrated and really showcases the best of fusion. If anyone is in the DFW area, this would be my go-to recommendation. I tried the phoritto (pho burrito) and the barria/pho fusion and I'd highly recommend. It combines the best elements of the Mexican and Vietnamese cuisines they're showcasing, creating a delicious, satisfying meal that has the perfectly flavoring and texture. The phoritto especially was perfect: I was slightly nervous that rice noodles might be a bit too much, but it was actually the perfect amount. They pack a lot of meat into the burrito itself - so you're getting a perfect ratio of meat. The drinks are also excellent - and the service wonderful. It has a very casual vibe - you order up front and then wait for your food at a seat. It gets pretty packed - even not at peak hours, but the line moves fairly quickly and it's well worth the wait IMO. I also found parking fairly easy: even though the lot was crowded, there were always spaces available. read more

This place worth the hype!! The space is spacious and cozy with very traditional decoration that accurately represent vietnamese and mexican culture without feeling forced or awkward. There are plenty of parking spaces. Do note that the line is very long and you would need to wait for probably 30-45min or so. But servers were friendly and timely. The food is amazing. We got a birria and phorrito platter that also include fries and chicken wings. The birria dipping in pho/consomme broth situation was really good. I love their fries and wings as well, crispy and well seasoned. The phorrito is good, it might threw some people of but i personally thought it has a good mix between pho and burrito iconic components. Would definitely come back to try other stuffs. read more

This dinner was LONG awaited! My husband and I had tried several time to try Cris and John's at their old location but either the line was too long or they had already sold out of items. On a random whim we decided to check out their new location and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! This location is super cute! The painting and the decor took me back to our trip to Mexico City. Despite the large crowd inside and the line to order we were able to still get a seat and get our food pretty quickly! My husband got the Photitto with short rib and I got the Birria Tacos. We also tried the Southern Soul Bao Bun and the thai tea with taro. All of the food was delicious and full of flavor! Ironically I liked his meal better while he enjoyed mine better! The Thai tea was creamy and perfect after the spices of the pho broth that is served along side both meals! You couldn't really taste the taro but the thai tea was great!

Cris & John has been on my to-do list for over a year, and I'm mad I took so long to check them out. I decided on the Phoritto and a couple Bao buns. The buns themselves were cooked perfectly, and the toppings were served with generous portions, the southern soul was my favorite, followed by the fishin' good. The short rib in the Phorito was perfectly complemented by the hoisin sauce, but I could have down without the consume, it would have been better paired with a pho broth, but still delicious nonetheless. I was also able to taste the dry garlic noodles and let me just say; I could go back everyday just for those noodles. The restrung itself is a casual dining, seat yourself establishment; as came on a random Tuesday around lunch time and it was decently packed out, so you may experience a wait later in the week. read more

As Gen Z would say: no crumbs. There wasn't a bad bite here, and the hype is 100% worth it. Cris and John's fusion actually makes sense -- everything is well-seasoned, balanced, and not trying too hard (no random "lemon pepper french toast" energy). They blend Asian + Mexican flavors in a way that feels thoughtful and fun, with menu standouts like the Phorrito, Phodilla, and Sweet Birria Bao Buns. I went for a family birthday and we waited close to 30 minutes in line, but the second everyone took their first bite? Total silence. That's how I knew I picked a winner and officially redeemed myself as the family food person. I ordered the NƯỚC CHẤM STEAK PLATE (I was in my winter arc and went full lean/protein mode), but now I'm already planning my next visit to go back and really treat myself. read more

Cris & John has soooo much hype on social media... and... the food DOES NOT live up to the hype at all. This isn't to say nothing they have is good because that just wouldn't be true. Their appetizers and side dishes are quite tasty. The "BO LA LOT SKEWERS" is probably one of the best I've had in DFW. Their Wings are pretty good too. HOWEVER, their main entrees are simply not good. We ordered the PHO and RAMENRRITO. Both were not up to par. The Pho broth (which is also the Ramenrrito dipping broth) was kind of bland. The Ramenrrito itself was "off"... perhaps the noodles and flour tortilla are not a good combination, too much carbs (needed more protein inside) and perhaps some sort of sauce. Their new location is nicer and comes with more tables. But the line still comes out the door. You might want to get there at opening time or else there will be a wait. read more
