Bánh xèo is one of my favorite things to eat. Few places can make it as great as this place outside of HCMC.

Bánh xèo is one of my favorites. Few places make it this great. If you're close by or considering trying bánh xèo for the first time. Do it

Hu tieu tom thit soup was a nice clear broth with such great flavor. The cooked and sliced pork was a great thickness and texture.

The food was so good!! The people were very nice and it's always great to have a family owned small restaurant with quality food. Hu tieu tom thit soup was a nice clear broth with such great flavor.

I come here all the time, the Banh Xeo or Vietnamese savory crepes are so fresh and has a crunchy taste. The people here are so nice, if you like spicy just ask for chili on the side. Their noodles and Pho are a great option as well if you love pho

I know this place is known for thier yellow crepe banh xeo(?) But I love thier green waffle here. Garland is hella far for me but whenever I am down here, I love coming here just for these waffles. These waffles are really different from the ones I have tried because it is super crispy. It tastes like a fortune cookie but the inside is chewy green rice cake with bits of coconut occasionally. Oh my good the best snack. Each waffle is 2 dollars each! I believe you need to pay in cash if you order less than 5 dollars. I could be wrong but have cash just in case! I tried their yellow crepe dish here and its pretty good too! So try that!!

La Xanh is a little restaurant in the corner of a plaza full of other restaurants. I have to say that this joint isn't my favorite or first choice in this area. I think the only good thing to get here is the bánh xèo and maybe the pandan waffle. Otherwise, I'd go elsewhere for soup or a rice dish.

Banh xeo, egg rolls, noodles

Reviews are mixed. Many praise the bánh xèo and authentic Vietnamese food, and enjoy the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere.

And wow, the taste is the exact same. The decor is the exact same. The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

Update to my original review. Each time I've been back I receive great food. The sizzling beef…read morewas amazing and so tender.

Garden Restaurant is a Dim Sum restaurant in Garland where you don't have to wait to get a table…read more While that's good if you're in a rush, it's the opposite if you're looking for a great Dim Sum experience. My Overall Rating - 2 Stars Atmosphere - Tucked into a shopping strip in Garland (the old Arc-en-ciel for your OG's), Garden is an open, spacious Dim Sum restaurant. On my Sunday lunch, there was no wait, but the restaurant was pretty full. However, for a Dim Sum restaurant, there were not many carts out (more on this below). 1/2 Star. Service - Many Dim Sum restaurants don't have carts, and instead you order from a menu. Garden has both. There are a few servers pushing carts with the most popular items. If you don't see it, you can simply order from the menu. This is totally fine, but on my Sunday visit, they were busy and finding someone to order from the menu became increasingly frustrating. 1/2 Star. Food - There is a reason they were not packed. Simply put, Garden's offerings were average at best. Their pork buns were more bun than pork, and even the bun lacked the subtle sweet, soft shell. We ordered what we thought were Pork Xu Mai, but it ended up being shrimp. That's when we decided to order from the menu, but if you read above even that was a challenge. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I get overruled. Occasionally, my family members will prioritize time and convenience over quality. If that happens, I'll end up eating at Garden Restaurant. Garden is by no means bad, there are just other options with better food and service. 1/2 Star.
