    Banh Xeo with Shrimp
    Anvaya N.

    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.

    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.

    One of the best Vietnamese restaurants, well known for its whole baked fish served with a variety of fresh vegetables. We enjoyed it today along with several other delicious dishes. Excellent service and a warm, family-style atmosphere.

    Rare steak for 7 course beef
    Gordon D.

    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!

    Veggies, dipping sauces for catfish spring rolls, and paper spring rolls.
    Lynn V.

    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.

    Part of bo 7 mon- it's good
    Linn P.

    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.

    Dumplings in chili sauce and beef porridge
    Ryan N.

    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! :)

    Lemongrass grilled chicken
    John C.

    .... 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!

    Bún bò Huế
    Nhi P.

    Very authentic Vietnamese food. The broth for the noodle dishes are very flavorful and authentic. I've had their bún bò Huế and phở. They include so much meat, I couldn't even finish it all!

    Keo Dau Phong

    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

    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.

I asked the people working there and they confirmed my suspicions of the relation -- it's effectively a franchise situation. On to the review: this place felt homey as soon as I sat down. The older women who tended to front of house looked like sisters, reminded me of my aunts. It was quiet, even though half the tables were filled. No TV, not a lot of noise going on in the back. Sit long enough and you see locals coming in yelling their orders or picking up take out. It feels like you're at their house waiting for your turn to try what's coming out of the kitchen. They serve pho in regular or large and you can choose from preset protein choices or mix and match your own. My go-to is Tai, Nam, Bo Vien. Their sweetest lady will take your order with a smile. You sit there, wait about 5 minutes and your bowl arrives. It looks home made. The bowl has cuts of meat that look like something made with love, at home. The broth is flavorful, slightly sweet from the simmered bones. It doesn't have the look of a spot that just slings Pho all day if that makes sense. I felt good eating here and the bowl was generously piled with meat. This is a place you go to whenever you're craving a solid bowl of Pho and want to eat in peace.
