    This is an AYCE Vietnamese style hot pot restaurant located next to a grocery store. Dinner is $30/person. It was fun picking the type of broth you wanted but it was hard to share with others and more like shabu shabu style. I was disappointed they didn't have many Chinese hot pot broth flavors and no sauces that were reminiscent of Chinese style hot pot, so that was probably the one negative part of the experience. The ingredients seemed pretty fresh, though meat portions were very small. Also they were quite stingy with the broth refills, and it seemed like you only get one broth refill, so technically that was not AYCE. For the price, I would probably not come back but if I had friends who wanted to try another style of hot pot cuisine, I would come back to show them this place.

    Food is okay, lack of sauce, service is the opposite. They never checked on us, no refills, and we have to ask for an iPad to order more. Our server disappeared every time, and we have to wave them over, feel like we're pestering them. I've been here over 3 times, and the service stays the same, no improvement. You can get your money's worth somewhere else, where they actually care about their customers.

    I honestly don't know how I haven't managed to write up how much I enjoy Phở Pasteur. Welp. That…read moreends today. If you want to dive face first into a tasty, comforting bowl of phở, look no further. I admit I haven't managed to eat all the way through this menu, but their beef phở (whether it's the rare steak, flank, tendon, fatty brisket, meatballs, or all the above) is so incredibly delicious, I just can't seem to move on--especially when it's cooler weather or my allergies are acting up or... Just whenever, okay? Seriously, the broth is fragrant and delicious and the side of jalapeños, Thai basil, bean sprouts, and onions are always fresh. I particularly enjoy it with a pot of jasmine tea. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive no matter how busy it gets. I think it's much easier to walk around in the current location versus their previous one (that had lots of family style seating). It's hard for me to drive past Phở Pasteur without stopping for a bite. I definitely recommend it.

    Phở Pasteur Restaurant…read more Great pho. Broth on point! I'm told it's one of the best pho in Dallas area. It delivers! Great decor. Nice workers. Clean. Monster meatballs. Love those kind! ***FYI, I'm a crazy pho eater that has to have pho from all over. I travel far and in between the states. Eating from LA, Vegas, MN, WI, MI, IL, NC, OH, Manhattan, NY, FL, KS, MS, D.C. Canada, etc. I've had the best pho (rated by the expert locals) in LA, Hollywood, Chicago, GA, and FL. I make reviews after tasting their pho. I know what pho is good and what is fake!*** Do not miss this GEM! My Star System: 1=Dumpster fire. Don't waste your money 2=Disappointed. Lot of issues 3=Average, 1-2 issues. 4=Above average, I might come again 1-3 times per year 5=Highest. I will come back a few times a month or more. If I live far, it's at the top of my list to visit when I'm in town. Highly Recommended

    One of the best known viet pho & banh mi place in Arlington…read more Their beef rib pho is the most well known, as it comes with sliced meat & a super soft and tender beef rib. I also love their fried egg roll, flavor is extremely authentic and they fry them fresh to order. Patience is sometimes needed when it comes to service, as they are a small ESL business, but they do their best to seat & serve you as quick as possible. There's plenty of seating but since they close at 7 PM everyday, they do get a rush of customers right around 6 PM. I really liked how clean their tables are and how they provide sanitizer wipes at each table, very comfy vibes.

    Yall are sleeping on Ba Le, I use to work at a school nearby for years and I always told myself I…read moreneeded to come here, but I never did while I worked in the area. Years later, I am back to working in Arlington and recently finally made it to Ba Le. I know they are known for their sandwichies, and I dint know you could order them off the deli counter instead of ordering them from the sit-down restaurant. The first time i went, I ordered a sandwich and a noodle dish. The sandwich was the first thing that came out; it was hot, like right off the oven, hot! The sandwich had lots of pate, and the meat was well-seasoned but not as good at the one from Saigon Deli (that's my ride or die for Vietnamese sandwiches). Next time I go, I will try a different sandwich. During this visit, I had a noodle dish,h and it was good, nothing amazing (i think it was the lemon grass beef). Really good. I went and only had to wait maybe 5 minutes to be seated. They have an iPad to check in, and that's how they know the order to seat people. The service was fast since they are really busy every day. The restaurant was clean, and so were the bathrooms when I went. On my second visit, is when I tried the Pho, and I am hooked. I tried the combination pho and it was everything like the pictures show! When I tried the brooth I could tell they really go big on the spices that make up the broth, star anise, cloves, cardamom and everything else. I really enjoyed the broth, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I can see what all the hype is about, but for my pho i usually go to Pho 95. I did try the Vietnamese coffee, and even tho i asked for it to be extra sweet, it was not sweet enough. Since then, I been on a Vietnamese coffee kick and I can't stop haha. I need to start making my way to this restaurant more often.
