Service quick and sweet Helpful when we didn't know what to order The jumbo shrimp fried rice has good flavor and I like the shrimps that our deshelled hahahaha The soft shell crab is super good crispy and sauced up We always need Vegis it's nice That salad was nice crunchy and yummy A lot of space for group setting
The family came here to try the traditional 7 course beef, which is understood by a lot of Vietnamese restaurants to have the following items: Beef congee Rare beef and vinegar broth Beef meatball (but they call it cha) Beef salad Three types of beef sausage - one with fat, one with onion, and one wrapped in a banana leaf The experience was decent, and we get to sample a variety of things for the first time. It was plenty of food up to 6 people. We didn't have any particular favorite entrees, everything other than the congee was expected to be wrapped in rice paper so it was plenty of food. The service was unfortunately pretty bad, even for Asian low effort standards. The food wasn't memorable enough to make up for it. It was also a pretty quiet Saturday afternoon, with about three other tables. We probably would not recommend coming back.
My boyfriend's family has been coming here for years, and he's always raved about their catfish spring rolls. We finally had an opportunity to come with his family, and I loved the pork and beef spring rolls. So healthy and such a fun experience to make your own rolls. I can't stop thinking about this meal. They also had really delicious Vietnamese iced coffee as well. I can't wait to come back again!
Catfish spring rolls taste so delicious with the sauce and when you try to take a small bate of the catfish skin it's crunchy. Also it comes with veggies, paper spring rolls, sauce for the spring rolls, bowl of water to dip the spring rolls so it can be soft so you can roll up with catfish, noodles and other vegetables in your spring rolls. Service is very nice, after we are finished eating we have to pay at the cashier counter. The place is clean, atmosphere is like with a big group of family and friends to talk, having fun, & enjoy the food.
Came here twice with my family. It's pretty good but a bit more priced. Some dishes very good, some okay. Found some dishes that accompany drinking. The thit nuong has very good flavors and tender. The beef la lot is good out of the 7 beef. The meatball was pretty dry one visit. The fried rice is okay, a bit on the bland side. Overall we would come back though. Maybe try their baked catfish. The price of their catfish clay pot fish and sweet and sour soup is a bit expensive though.
Parking: Plenty of open parking spaces since it's located in a strip mall. Interior: Clean. Plenty of seating. Service: It wasn't busy when I went, so service was fast. Food: Dumplings with chili sauce was good. I wish the dumplings were separate from the chili sauce so you can dip it. But instead, everything was already mixed together. The beef porridge was excellent! Very flavorful! I felt the comfort of the soup in every bite! Drinks: I only ordered water lol Overall: I would definitely come back and try other items on their menu! 2 thumbs up from me! :)
.... AWESOME & AUTHENTIC ..... GO!!! Don't let the location area fool you. Great food and Vietnamese decor - with mini floating lamps hang from ceiling and melodic Vietnamese music. Large dining area with high-back booths along one wall (in great condition and very cushy) and lots of tables with thick cushioned chairs (also in great shape). Very clean and smells good. (Lots of Asians here at lunch - a very good sign of food quality and authenticity.) I got #R6/Lemongrass Grilled Chicken: Comes with traditional broth soup, white rice and garnish. Excellent! Very authentic. Good cook, not dry and good flavor. Just what I expected. (Personally, it would be better with 2 minutes less time on the grill to be more moist and 2x-3x more sauce... as it was, it barely covered the chicken, and nothing dripped to the plate. Was more of a skimpy drizzle.) Huge menu, lots of proteins and types of meals. Protein Options: Frog legs, squid, crab, clam, pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, lobster, fish, quail, Korean BBQ, & vegetarian. Meal Options: Soups, vermicelli, egg noodle, grilled, fried, 10 fried rice options, stir fry, hotpot and traditional house specials. FYI - the Shaking Beef is supposed to be the best in the menu but I didn't see it listed on the menu and forgot to get it!! Ugh. Next time I'm getting either the #R9/Flame-Broiled Marinated Sirloin or the #R8/Sliced Beef sautéed w/onion & Lemongrass. They look great!

One of my favorite Viet restaurants that serve fried fish. It was large enough to feed a whole group of us. We ate family style so we ordered a variety of dishes but hands down my favorite was the fried fish. We came specifically for the fried fish cause it's actually grilled then fried which gives it an extra oomph! The fish is served with a scallion oil and fried onions which is the cherry on top especially if you decide to make some spring rolls with the fish. It's chefs kiss. Nothing could be better. I highly recommend the fried fish, Bo la lot, the winter melon drink. Honestly, you're not gonna go wrong ordering anything here. Can't wait to come back.
Compared to all of the other Vietnamese spots in this part of Dallas' Lil Saigon (#1), I don't know if there's a more complete establishment than Dong Que. Most spots here are specialty driven, but this place has the versatility to offer a little bit of everything and do it reasonably well. Đồng Quê, loosely translated, refers to the countryside (#2) and their vast menu makes up a number of regional dishes from bun bo hue to Vietnamese style hotpot (lẩu). They're known for their 7 course beef (bò bảy món) and baked fish (cá nướng) but I've had a number of other outstanding dishes here that I really enjoyed. Their pho was really great. Fragrant and pungent, which is how I normally like it. The side of nuoc beo is clutch, especially for that extra fattiness. Bo luc lac is tasty, though I think they could always add more beef. I've had some good luck with their banh 3 vi platter, which comes decked out with fixings (thit nuong + sugar cane rolls, lettuce, etc.) and is the perfect option for sharing. Seafood lovers would do themselves a disservice if they passed on the baked mussels. I also think their banh canh (tapioca starch soup) is flavorful and their hu tieu game is on point. Even for simple com (rice) and bun (noodle) dishes, there is a lot to appreciate. And of course, their appetizers, like cha gio, goi cuon, nem cuon are all excellent starters. They are also one of the few Viet spots that will also front as a bakery, with a number of daily pastries, desserts, fried items that they'll sell out front. I haven't left here without a box of something from banh pia (Viet style mooncake) to dau phong (Viet style peanut brittle). My previous visits here with incredibly generous company, so my meals were lavishly abundant with plenty of take home items. I've been fortunate to come here without reservations and be seated relatively quickly. There are tables for all sizes, despite how tight the seating may seem for such a low ceiling, semi-narrow interior. The ambiance is super Viet and just about as local as it gets. If there was any knock, it might be the prices, which are on the higher side for restaurants like this. Speaking Vietnamese is obviously a plus, but certainly many will do just fine without it. ______________ (#1) aka Garland, TX. (#2) Not to be confused with actual "country" (quốc gia) but more akin to homeland (quê hương). #TiengVietQua
OMG by far the best Vietnamese foods in DFW!!!! It's far for me but worth the time to satisfy the Vietnamese craving. I ordered the BBH and it was very delicious. Honestly everything here is good. I even tried my friends dish. He got the crawfish fried rice and the pork chop dish! So good. Service is friendly and it can get packed. We didn't wait long at all. Can't wait to come back and try more!!!
We ordered Bo 7 Mon and an order of baked mussels for a family of 4. We had leftovers. We probably could've done without the mussels. They were good. Unexpectedly had peanut butter taste to them - I personally don't like peanut butter, but the rest of the family liked the dish. Bo 7 Mon is beef cooked 7 ways. It came as a porridge and as a salad. Then we had sliced beef to cook in a vinegar broth. It came as a meatloaf, sausage, beef patty, and grilled beef roll along with spring roll, lettuce, and dipping sauce. It was enjoyable. Walking in; it smelled like authentic Vietnamese restaurant, and we were not disappointed. Server is very nice and spoke Vietnamese and English! I would definitely recommend double checking the bill though. We were almost overcharged!

Food is pretty good. 9 pages of menu! Some items are on pricier side, some are average. Service is almost non-existent. They took our order, bring the food out, the disappeared into the kitchen. There were less than 10 tables during lunch. We also found the prices that rang up were higher than the written menu that presented to us. They were reluctant to honor the menu prices, stated that the higher prices were the correct ones (they finally did honor the menu prices). Took a while to bring us to-go boxes. Servers walked past us but didn't respond to us, then disappeared into the kitchen. When we paid, I had to go INTO the kitchen to get them out because they were chatting (if customers left, they wouldn't have known). We got the lotus jumbo shrimp fried rice, and much was huge with generous amount of Unpeeled Jumbo shrimps, which was pretty good, but priced $10 lower on menu. The steamed flat dumplings With shrimps were good. The crispy fried noodles with squid and shrimp were tasty but not spectacular. read more
Dong Que is a strip mall near Garland. The menu is very authentic with a wide variety of Soup options other than Pho. Place is known for great Vietnamese food. You have to get their Medium Baked Whole Fish, Pho, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Rieu, Com Tam. Also had their che dessert and it's delicious!! We were in a rush so got a soup to share, some fried rice and Banh Xeo, The service is fast and quick. They give ample of sauces to add to your soup. The ambiance is clean and spacious. Plenty of tables to choose from. The prices are decent for the quantities you will have plenty of to go around. read more

You come here for the fish! We had to place an order for the fish ahead of time but it was worth it. The skin of the fish was crispy and cooked just right. And when you sliced a piece of with the fish meat, it tasted wonderfully from the smoothness of the fish with the crispness of the skin. This fish is big enough for like four to five adult members. I also had to order bo luc lac to try and it was just as good as the fish. We got the flan to go since we were too full to eat at the restaurant. And the flan was a nice breakfast or lunch dessert as well. So many good things to eat here that I haven't tried. read more
Came here by accident, meaning to go to Dong Hai, a Chinese restaurant In the same strip mall. Two restaurants starting with "Dong" 200 ft apart, lol Good accident. Had a pork plate with 3 kinds of pork, white rice and veggie garnish and a grilled chicken w vermicelli. Both were very good. Service was friendly and prompt. Dining area was clean and attractive. Will be returning for more of their extensive menu! read more

THE BEST Banh Canh Cua ever!! I've ordered this 99% of the time I come here and have been able to try other dishes by bringing others and mooching off of what they order :) It's just that good. The savory sweet seafood broth with the thick tapioca noodle paired with a fluffy yet crisp fried dough stick (kind of like a donut) is just so wonderful. I'm drooling just thinking about it and I just sat down to order another one. We have also ordered the small clams loaded with lemongrass and comes with a crisp sesame cracker, Pho, and several of their rice dishes and everything came out delicious! Service is pretty quick and direct and their drinks are solid too. Oh, if you like chewy sweet mochi-like stuff, they have this dessert for sell at the register that is like a three-layered green and white thing that is awesome too! read more

Since I was craving for "banh canh cua" aka Vietnamese crab noodle soup and many people recommend this place for it, so I decided to try it out. Sadly they don't have "banh canh cua" in their menu anymore, but "banh canh do bien" instead. The soup was good, especially with breadsticks (gio chao quay). The noodles were hard and not chewy at all so I was disappointed. There were only 2-3 small shrimps, couple small pieces of squid and fish balls. I personally think that the dish is not worth the price. read more

Finally back at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas after over a year. It's been renovated, with new menu. They are a little short staff on servers. The food is still good like normal. I got the bun thit nuong, grill pork vermicelli. read more

My family and I have been going to Dong Que for years but I never wrote a review because it really speaks for itself among the Vietnamese community. Dong Que is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant that has a pretty extensive menu with delicious food. I believe (if I remember the story correctly) that Dong Que came about several years ago when some of the staff at Saigon Block decided to leave and open up their own restaurant. If you like the famous baked catfish with crispy skin at Saigon Block then Dong Que has got you covered - it's pretty much identical. The only thing different is there are slight variations in the dipping sauce for your spring rolls. I love their menu because they have your basic pho, vermicelli, rice plates, etc. but they have SO much more! Bring the fam and try out their house specials but most importantly - get the Ca Nuong Da Gion (baked catfish w/crispy skin) and Bo 7 Mon (7 courses of beef). If you're not feeling that festive then their entrees are pretty decent. Their nui xao bo luc lac is like comfort food for me - I really enjoy the combination of the penne pasta and shaken beef. If banh canh cua is your thing then this place does a good job at it. read more

Ordered the nui xao bo and baked fish all was delish! Nui was small for price but we score it a 3.8/5 and 5/5 for fish! So close to what we are used to In orange county would definitely come back. On our next visit read more

Although I've visited their neighbor Dong Hai many times, today's visit to Dong Que, was our first! And since it was just for lunch, we didn't want to overeat... But we just wanted to try some different things. So we started with their shrimp spring rolls. These were excellent! We chose their combination flat noodles and an order of COM BO LUC LAC (Marinated Sirloin) Their meat was so tender! We were also given the opportunity to try their Meatball Pho (Kid Size) It was very good! Even better than Pho Bang! We will be coming back again! read more
