I had to triple check the tofu wasn't actually meat because of how it looked! It also came with tater tots? I've never seen that at a Vietnamese place but they were sooooo yummy. The fried eggplant bao buns were incredible too. I haven't stopped thinking of them! This is definitely a new favorite spot I will be coming back to over and over again!!

Not too impressed with what I got here. Came here for a banh mi and was pretty disappointed. I…read moreordered a beef banh mi. It was not a traditional banh mi. The meat almost tasted like it was minced and it was way too saucy...the flavor was alright but I would just call this a beef sandwhich and not a banh mi. A traditional banh mi uses dry, cold, room temperature meats paired with crisp veggies. Also the ratio to beef to veggies was way off... there was just too much meat. Found the bread to be too oily + soggy as well. Not sure about the other food items at this place...I'll try them at some point but if you're coming here for a good banh mi, go elsewhere. People who took my order were nice tho

Wow, this place is amazing!! We came here for dinner a couple nights ago and we are so glad we did…read more We got here around 6:45 pm on a friday night and it was pretty much packed. It's a pretty small restaurant, but there are a lot of tables. You can either wait and be seated or if you find any free spots, you can sit down and they will come and give you a menu. I ordered their bum bo hue $16 and it was delicious. The broth was to die for. It was super flavorful and the spice and salt levels were just right. Not too salty, not too spicy. I've tried tons of bum bo hues in CA and dallas, and I would have to say Tan My is in my top 3, which says a lot! My husband ordered their vermicelli with charcoal broiled beef rice noodle bowl $15 and he says it tastes better than Pho Bac in richardson; iykyk. Overall, 10000% recommend. They are located in a really small plaza with a really small parking lot so I would definitely recommend carpooling or getting there early. Service here was great and it was nice that the young guy would check in on us. We are so happy to have found a really good asian restaurant; we've had a lot of misses, but this one was totally worth it. Ugh, I want another bowl just by writing this review!!

We got their goi ga (chicken salad) and sautéed baby clams with black sesame rice crackers this time around. You can't get this at any typical Vietnamese restaurant so we were super excited to see them on the menu. They also have may other speciality dishes like goat curry and bo ne (sizzling plate). We also tried their wonton soup in the appetizer menu - the wontons were great; however, the soup was a little too salty for my taste. They don't promote it very well but they have happy hour from 4-7 on the weekdays. Free Garage Parking available which is a plus in this area.

We got the Saigon grilled pork rice plate, pho cowboy (pho with smoked brisket), and brisket rice bowl. I typically add a ton of siracha and hoisin sauce to my pho, but I found this was unnecessary because the pho had a smokey bbq flavor from the brisket. My friend was a fan of the rare beef. The rice plate could feed 3 people I think because it was huge! I've also never been served purple pickled onions with rice plates before and I really enjoyed all the different flavors going on. The service was top tier and we were asked a few times if we were enjoying our meal. I wished they had an option to leave your phone number on the wait list. I loved the kumquat soda to balance out the salty flavors. I would come back if I was close to the area.

A new hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot opened about a month ago, and we were excited to give it a…read moretry! Nestled in an area surrounded by amazing Mexican restaurants, Viet Alley offers something a little different while celebrating traditional Vietnamese cuisine with subtle French and American influences. The colorful lanterns hanging throughout the dining area immediately caught our attention and made the space feel cozy and inviting. We had the honor of being their first large party--a group of 10--so we were able to sample quite a bit of the menu. The menu is simple but covers all the classics: pho, bún bò Huế, bánh mì, rice platters, noodle bowls, spring rolls, and egg rolls. The combo meals are a great deal, including a spring roll or egg roll, a bowl of pho or a rice platter, and a drink for just $17. Our favorites were the grilled beef and grilled pork rice platters--they were flavorful, tender, and definitely something we'd order again. The bún bò Huế was also enjoyable with a nice, rich broth. The bánh mì looked amazing, and after seeing everyone else's sandwiches, it's already on my list for our next visit. One thing we really appreciated was how accommodating the staff was. They happily customized dishes, including preparing a noodle bowl with extra vegetables and fewer noodles, and serving the kids' vegetables on the side without any issues. Regarding my brisket pho. The broth was good, but I was hoping for a little more brisket, as my bowl only had five little slices. Hopefully that's something they'll fine-tune as they continue to grow. Like any new restaurant, they're still working through the little details, and that's to be expected. The restaurant already has a warm atmosphere, friendly service, and a solid menu. We also noticed a large projector screen and a stage, so it looks like entertainment may be coming soon. They're also working on opening a coffee drive-through next month, which will make it even easier to stop by for coffee. Overall, we had a great experience and are looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. It's always exciting to support a local family-owned business, and we're excited to watch Viet Alley continue to grow. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try and showing some support to this new local gem.

I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.
