Delicious Vietnamese food in NTX where you don't have to make the drive to Garland or Arlington. Portions are also very generous. We've tried their pho, dry hu tieu and duck noodle soup and all were delicious. Seating is pretty limited there though. The owners are very sweet and friendly. read more

Goc Vietnam Restaurant - Good portion of pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came in today to try this pkace out, got tired of Ramen and came back to Pho, this place is small when you walk in, but the flavor is top notch, ordered the big bowl with everything, the soup is really delicious and not too salty noodles are good and tasty, protein is really good, but was hoping g for more the noodle vs protein is not at a good ratio, needs a bit more protein especially more tendon,more tripe. All the proteins tasted good but I wanted more, I also had the shrimp spring rolls they were huge and filled with flavor from the mint, the basil it also had lemon grass and cucumber, and the shrimp were nice and firm crunchy and not fishy, the peanut sauce was tasty, but wish the peanuts were crushed and not halved. All in all a great food experience, you should really check this place out. read more

First time visitor, and I'd be interested to try different things next time I come. The vietnamese food is lighter on the flavor profiles than what I'm used to, but a couple dishes stood out to my group: - shrimp fried rice (subtle but likable flavor) - banh beo (heavier coconut and mung bean; some crispy parts considering it was a medium-thick batter) Other dishes we tried but were okay with included: - bun bo hue (I like mine deep in lemongrass) - bun thit nuong (okay, not standout worthy) - banh mi ga nuong (great bread! Everything else was okay) The service was informative and quick in food delivery. I am curious about their pho for when I may visit again. read more

Goc Vietnam Restaurant - Crispy Pork Rice Plate With Egg - Vietnamese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I have been eyeing out this place ever since this open thinking this would be my alternate Vietnamese food fix. Went on an odd hour around 230p-3p. As I was walking in they have a big sign on their door stating that their CC system is not working at the moment, so cash only. Luckily, I've got cash with me. I browsed through the menu ahead of time before coming here and was excited to try the Crispy Salted Shrimp with Steam Rice (extra $ for fried rice) I was thinking $15 might be stiff but when the plate came out, it came with 6 huge, crispies, buttery, salty (trust me, it's good salty) shrimps. Complimented my plate with their Passion Fruit Soda ( this one is too sweet for my liking) Enjoyed my meal and this is potentially can become one of my favorites. The inside isn't too big than what you'd expect but ample seating for a lunch rush in this area. read more

Was looking for something quick and glad we found this place. Ordered one of my favorite soup bowl (combination with clear noodle) and by far this is gonna be my favorite Viet place. They also have the best homemade fresh sauté (caution, it's spicy), pickle garlic and jalapeño. Restaurant is small, clean, friendly with quick service. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. Come and support this small business, you won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped by Goc Vietnam on Thursday after hearing great things about the food on the Asian Grub Facebook group and we weren't disappointed! My husband and I split the egg rolls, spring rolls, banh xeo, and bo luc lac. The two appetizers we got were fresh and excellent. Spring rolls came with both pork and shrimp, and the peanut sauce on the side was delicious. The egg rolls were fried well and came with cucumber and lettuce that gave the dish a really nice crunchy freshness. The luc lac could've used some more gravy, but the flavor and tenderness of the beef was great and the vegetables were nicely charred. We had never tried banh xeo before and really enjoyed it! It was huge and came with tons of fresh herbs; we had to take half of it home because we couldn't finish. There's not a ton of space to sit down (maybe only 5-6 tables) and there were a few fruit flies buzzing around after we finished our food, so the ambience is not the best. Still, this is a great Vietnamese addition to this strip mall and we're looking forward to coming back and sampling some of the other less common items on the menu. read more

For someone who usually goes to Garland or Arlington for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, I was very surprised to see a mom-and-pop place open up in Plano. I read all the reviews online, and the food photos looked amazing, so my sister and I decided to stop by. The restaurant is very small, with only five tables. The owner (I'm assuming) seated us at a larger table when we arrived, but we moved because another party came in and there were no other large tables available. We didn't mind since it happened before the food came out, but it's just something to be aware of. My sister ordered the hu tieu, goi cuon, and I got the fried rice at first. Then I saw a giant banh xeo being brought out to another table and started drooling-- so my fat ass decided to order one as well. All the dishes were delicious and filling, though I wish there had been more lettuce wraps and pickled daikon served with the banh xeo. We also got Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee, and both were solid. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the service. The owner was very nice, and the food tasted authentic. The prices were $2-3 higher than what you'd typically pay in Garland, but since Plano is a more expensive area, it's totally understandable. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're craving authentic Vietnamese dishes. This place is solid and earned my recognition! read more

Hold the pho! (LOL I've always wanted to write that!!). This place rocks. I'm so glad it's here in this area, perfectly rounds out this new strip at Legacy and 75. I got the pho with rare steak and tendon. Totally didn't disappoint. Huge pieces of tendon. Broth was flavorful and not too salty. I hit mine with some chili oil, boy it was perfect. The hubs got the Bun Bo hue, and he said it was his new fave. It too had nice heat. It had different types of meat in there. Came in a HUGE bowl. Just be ready. When you enter, just stand at the counter, they will seat you and bring the menu. We'll be back to try the rice dishes, spring rolls, and the egg noodle dishes! read more

Really good pho, pretty fair price, really nice people. Small hole in the wall in a good area.

I highly recommend and would go back. I had the the following and everything was great: #5 Pho Tai Bo Vien (rare steak, meatballs pho) Banh xeo (crepe) Fish sauce - didn't seem watered down Com Thit Nuong Bi Cha - grilled pork was fatty, juicy, and had a good char flavor Service was great. Ambiance was a traditional vietnamese restaurant. Driving tip: You can turn at the light and then take a right on a somewhat hidden street behind the gas station. read more

I ordered Pho. It was not good. The broth is flat and a bit salty. I ordered my usual eye of round steak and brisket Pho as a bar. The beef was not fresh along with the flat and cloudy broth. The brisket was tough. They cut it with the grain instead of against the grain, making it chewy. Overall the Pho was terrible. The service was nice though. read more

You feel like family here. This new place owned by 2 delightful people happily welcome you. You are greeted with smiles and friendly hospitality. Customer service is a lost art, most people forget it , or don't know how to communicate in this millennial world. Thankfully, there's no cell phone when ordering, speaking to owners, nor waiting for food. So, be polite-put your phone away and enjoy the conversation and experience of authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls for appetizer. For dinner: banh xeo and beef pho. Both came out fast, fresh, and hot. The broth in beef pho is authentic and traditional with all the flavors you expect when enjoying a great bowl of delicious pho. Bahn Xeo was cooked to perfection with the crispy, gold, omelette-looking rice flour stuffed with sprouts, pork, cilantro, and fish sauce on side. It was cooked to perfection and my partner finished the whole thing instead of leaving half behind- like he usually does. No leftovers this time/he didn't even save a bite for me to try?! He said it was delicious and I will have to try another visit. We will be back. Restaurant is nicely decorated-it just opened so, it was not busy at all. No wait, seated fast, and food service fast. Prices are an average. Please, go visit to help them out. The owners are so nice and I want them to succeed in a competitive market. Go support them and enjoy a good conversation with them and some good food. read more

It was previously a banh mi shop, now taken over by new management. No more banh mi on the menu. While I'm eager to try new businesses, this disappointed in every way. First of all, the menu was mostly in Vietnamese with little English. Secondly, there were no pictures making it difficult for non-Vietnamese to order. We ordered a couple of dishes and most were subpar. The crêpe was mostly filled with bean sprouts and miserable pieces of seafood. Most prices were between $15-$18 which is high for this quality . The soup noodles were all below average, lacking flavor . read more

Finally, Authentic Vietnamese Food! Great food! I'm so glad there's finally a real Vietnamese spot nearby--I don't have to drive all the way to Garland anymore. So far, my favorites are the Vietnamese Crepes (Bánh Xèo) and the Crab Noodle Soup (Bún Riêu)--both were delicious and came in generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

Excited to try this place after all the raving reviews, but was left disappointed. As soon as we walked in, no one was there to tell us where to sit or what to do. I saw an "order here" sign at the cash register, so I assumed maybe you order at the front. I picked up a random menu on a table to order and 5min later the owner finally came out and told us to sit down to order??? The food came out and the meat was very fatty and thin. Also, for an $18 rice plate there is still a $3 upcharge for egg. The space is tight b/c it was formerly a banh mi shop with a long counter taking over practically the whole restaurant. There are only a handful of tables in 1/3 of the restaurant. To top it off there was no a/c and only two fans running. I could understand if they can't get someone out for the weekend to fix, but from what I can tell from other reviews it's been over a month. Honestly, this is one of the most disappointing Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in a very long time. read more
