Phi gets a rare 5-stars from me because I think it's the BEST place in DFW to get Vietnamese Iced Coffee. (and I've tried them all) I like the Vietnamese Coffee from Phi because it doesn't have the weird "inauthentic" taste like most of the places in the Metroplex. It actually tastes like good ol' Vietnamese Coffee. I don't think I have ever sat down and eaten a meal at Phil. I always just get the Cà Phê Sữa Đá to go Speaking of food, the Cơm Tấm at Phi is pretty good too. The portion is smaller than other Vietnamese places but the taste is better than a lot of them. The service can be hit or miss... sometimes I have to wait a bit more than I would like just for a drink.
I liked the drinks, but they ran out of boba and didn't tell us before we ordered which was kind of sad because I would just get boba somewhere else. We got the phi milk tea and thai green tea. We waited a really long time for our order and when I finally went up to ask about it they kind of ignored me for a while which was really awkward. Maybe 1-2 minutes after I said something the drinks came out. The interior is with other restaurants so it's kind of cool but needs to be fixed up because when we were waiting the ceiling was leaking...
Every time I come to Dallas, my boyfriend takes me to Phi Coffee & Tea. This time I ordered the Cacao Sua Trung (Egg Cocoa Milk). It was not my favorite drink, but I wanted to try something we haven't tried before. It tasted like chocolate milk, so it wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The cocoa flavor definitely overpowered everything else that was in the drink. It was not busy inside. Our drinks were made within a few minutes and we were on our way shortly afterwards. The plaza itself is a bit busy, especially on the weekend. Parking shouldn't be an issue though.
Nice place for Vietnamese food and drinks. We had several selections for our group of 6 as well as coffees and teas. All very good. Order at the counter and they deliver the food to the table. This is one of several small food kiosks in this little plaza next to the market.
A must try for the coconut snails. A lot smaller then I expected it but it was very good. Spring rolls were great too with the peanut sauce. I have never had green Thai tea! It was good. It was creamy and leafy and a bit nutty! The cashier was very nice when I asked for recommendations.
Super chill and vibey ambience, great for hang outs and maybe studying if you like a busy background. This place does not get the recognition it deserves. I have always seen their corn milk sitting on the shelf so I decided to try it. It is a very unique sweet drink, that does taste a bit like corn. I am hoping to try the other signature teas soon. I also got the Taiwan Style milk tea.
Pros: Interior is cute and cozy The corn milk is pretty good, but the food is okay. Cons: Order Hu Tieu Nam Vang but it came out with broth already in it...normally broth is served on the side This place is little pricier than your average Vietnamese restaurant Would recommend the corn milk at most. Mung bean is refreshing too. The food is only if you never tried or trying to take a friend here for the first time.
I Love the vibe and decor of the place. It feels like a trendy place to hangout with friends and take photos. The place plays really loud music and it does get annoying. It is a tea and coffee shop so you have to wait in line if you plan to eat here and seat yourself. I had the #1 Combo Phi which was a broken rice dish with BBQ pork and a fried egg. The combo includes the green Thai tea. My food came out but they forgot my drink so I had to get back up and remind them. My green thai tea tasted refreshing and delicious. It was perfect. My entree however was bad. The meat was very chewy and super sweet. The flavor was there but the sweetness was overpowering. The fish sauce(?) had a gooey texture which threw me off. It was more of a sweet and sour sauce but fused with fish sauce. It was too sweet which made the dish even worse with the meat. Egg was cooked perfectly to my liking though. I also tried some of their pho and the broth was pretty lacking in depth. The meat was very chewy. The portion was pretty big though.
Nice convenient little place next to the Asian market. The restaurant and designed to look like a little alley with street vendors. I had the classic street breakfast from Vietnam, Bo Ne which translates to dodge beef. It's name come from you slightly dodging the hot skillet has it is placed in front of you. It was very flavorful, the beef was marinated well and sauce that was left in the hot skillet as the meat was cooking was perfect for dipping the fresh bread that came with the meal. The meal also came with a sunny side up egg, French fries, Vietnamese ham, and a small salad. Not many place offers Bo Ne.
Update* Tried their Thai hot pot. It was one of the worst hot pot I've ever tasted. Super bland. The service was terrible. We wanted to order at the counter, they told us to have a seat But then no one even came out or brought a menu. So we moved tables to get their attention. Finally. After sitting here for a while. Someone came out to our table, even though they watched us have a seat at the table. They kept forgetting the bowls, condiments, etc. we hurried up and ate and left after finishing our lunch in 15 mins. All of their milk teas are overly sweetened. I even asked for lightly sweetened and still Way toooooo sweet! The server was too lazy to fix the drink. So he splashed a tiny bit more black tea. And told me it should it be fine now. It was not. The only reason I even give them a 3 star because their xoi dishes are great for a quick lunch. Their banh mi are ok. But I would not buy those here. We've had some noodle dishes with grilled pork that are good. So I do come back here for their food, just not their drinks.
It's date hop night!! We've got a babysitter and this is our first spot. I got the Thai green Tea and it was DELICIOUS! or was very creamy but had more of a tea flavor which I enjoy. My husband got the Sea Cafe, and he enjoyed it very much. If you're a fan of Vietnamese Coffee you roll enjoy this drink. We also decided to venture out and try #26. Pork guts cooked in 5 spices. We opted for the noddle version. While I did not partake in the pig guts my husband thoroughly enjoyed them. I did like the noodles and the extra sauce they give you on the side. Friendly staff that answered all of my many questions about all their different drinks. Only issue the smell from the super market is a little off putting.

Jasmine tea: strong jasmine fragrance, quite bitter but great tea overall. Banh Trang Tron: I asked to mix everything up, but it came out with the soggy rice papers and separate toppings. The flavor is okay, not sure if it worths $5. read more
Upon entering I was pleasantly surprised how cute the place was. Pass their counter and you step into a run-down closed restaurant with crap everywhere. They should put a wall up to block that area off. Anyway decided on drinks and was shocked they didn't have boba, didn't have matcha. It's on the menu but apparently they ran out. Barista isn't educated on the menu and when asked for a suggestion he just really didn't know. Ended up with a tea Taiwanese style with pearls and Thai tea. When I asked what was the difference in styles, again no real explanation. Luckily, for me I speak viet and I heard barista tell the other they only had blueberry pearl left. Anyway, drinks were okay, not great. I left the pearls as they were sour and nasty with the tea. Would I come back??? Maybe, but unlikely. read more

First thing you notice when you walk into this place...the decor. Modern and cute (especially their lighting fixtures)--not so typical of a Viet coffee shop/banh mi stand. Seems like they set up behind a grocery store? The back area was a little weird as it looked like an unfinished food court area. The walk to the bathroom can look like a scene out of an Asian gangsta movie. You'll see what I mean--or maybe I watch too much Kdramas. They serve banh mi (sandwiches), a small variety of noodle and rice dishes, coffee, and tea. They have the white tapioca here (which I am still trying to get used to. I still like the original one better). Milk tea and winter melon teas are pretty good. I like WOW's matcha tea better than Phi's though. We also got the Vietnamese street food - rice paper salad. It was decent, kinda tangy. For $5 they give you a decent portion. It's one of those dishes OGs would enjoy snacking with a beer. Banh bot chien (fried flour and egg) was pretty good too. The biggest hit during our visit was their fried banh baos. My friends loved it so much they bought some to-go. I wasn't a fan of it before (when I tried the ones from Houston), but this one was pretty good. I was told to try their Thai green tea and their popular duck soup next time. I would like to try their Mi Quang too. Will definitely be back the next time I am in the Arlington area. They currently have 2 locations: Arlington and Houston. read more

I passed by this restaurant so many times when I go the the market next to it, but I didn't give a try until my friend recommended this restaurant for its bò né. I came and was lucky to meet the owner, telling her that this is my first time here, and let her pick between chao long, nui xao bo, and bo ne for my first experience. So far, this is the best chao long I've tried in US. I definitely need to try more dishes here! read more

This place has become so bad with their food that we couldn't finished our stuff. Oc & whelk taste cold. Their supposed sizzling came out dry. No longer cannot recommend this place. read more
We been here a few times. The 1st time was to try their banh mi and the Thai green tea. We loved the Thai green tea but wasn't a huge fan of the banh mi. I got the chicken banh mi and the chicken tasted dry. The 2nd time was for my family who came from out of town. Their friend told them to try it. We got a different variety of food. My boyfriend really liked their hu tieu and they got bonus points for adding quail eggs. I ordered the mi quang and it was okay. We also got tamarind snails and baked clams. Both were okay as well. The green sauce that came with both dish gave it more flavor and kick. Today we went in to try their pho and bun rieu and of course to get more Thai green tea. Their pho was okay they only serve beef pho here. The bun rieu was bland. Service here is okay. Food portion is good. We will be back for the teas and maybe the Hu tieu and pho but I wouldn't order the other stuff again. read more
Came on saturday night. The place was crowded. There usually some live music/karaoke on weekdays after 9pm. Food was good. Couldn't adjust sweet level for my drinks but they were good enough for me, some other might want it sweeter. Thai green tea is one of their popular dink and i totally agree read more

Ungrateful B**Tch... Pussy... As I sat down to eat I endure 30 minutes of terrible music. It was loud! Each bite I took I kept hearing ungrateful bitch from the music that was playing. Next song was saying pussy this pussy that. I wanted to vomit my food up. My banh bot chien was good. It's not like thanh thanh houston good but the kind you had in vietnam. Sad cause this doesn't taste good togo and not sure if I'll come in again unless I got headphones or something. Not a good place to take your clients or family with this kind of language going on. read more

The rice paper lacked ingredients. There was no beef jerky or quail eggs. Not sure if they were missing from my order or if it was just not provide but either way i was left disatisfied. Edit: i also found a random dried fish in there... read more

This is my third time visiting and I love it! Every time I come, the service is great and the workers are all very friendly. This place has a very modern and unique feel to it. The decor is aesthetically pleasing so it's great for your Instagram feeds! Every time I come here, I try something new. All meals are prepared fresh and I've never had a bad experience or wrong order mishap. The last two times I got the winter melon cream tea. It's always my go to for milk tea and this one is by far my favorite. The corn milk tea is also great and I recommend picking one up on your way out! This place is good for a quick sit down or for an actual meal. read more

Came for Sunday brunch after hearing good reviews. Mi quang was good, the fried rice paper was very flavorful and the noodles tasted fresh. Banh canh cua was flavorful the slice pork was a bit chewy. Fried banh bao amazingly wasn't greasy and the dough and meat tasted good but cold. Thai green tea is a must! There is no servers, you order at the counter and the food will be brought out to you. They had no eggrolls, no pho, and no Vietnamese ice coffee on a Sunday. If they had those items available today they would've received 5 stars from me. Overall the food and drinks they had were delicious and worth the trip! read more

Not sure why the rating is so low for this place, but it's awesome. I came here for a quick breakfast. Grabbed their green Thai tea with white boba, fried bao, and sticky rice with grilled meat. The tea was very good. I usually don't finish drinks but I finished this one. I would really like to try their entire menu. I was limited on time and they had the fried boo available. I've had fried bao in KC and in OC and was not a fan but this one is very yummy. Lots of meat and a thin skin. The sweet rice reminds me of Breakfast in Vietnam, down to the quail eggs. The BBQ meat had an artificial color but actually tasted great! The sticky rice was fragrant and the soy sauce base was outstanding. What a great find! read more

Beautiful decoration and amazing taste of Taiwan Milk Tea. Also, they have sandwiches, rice tray, noodles soup as well. Love love love!!! read more
Visuals: Phi is located next to Hiep Thai on the west side. Be careful not to blink while looking for it or you might miss it lol it's blends in well with Hiep Thai. they have indoor and outdoor seating. The interior design is a nice setup with a random wishing fountain in middle of the place. Food &Drinks: they have a large menu on their wall with a wide selection of foods. Vietnamese words were in a large font but the English translations were small and difficult to read. All the dishes that left the kitchen looked mouth-watering delicious! Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry. My main purpose was to try the drinks. There was three boards with drink options. The left side consisted of coffee options. The middle had tea options. And the right side had smoothie, slushie, and soda options. When I went, smoothies and slushies were coming soon; no mixed berries, avocado, etc. So I had to settle for their phi original style black milk tea. It was good. I liked it. Service: the cashiers were attentive. They answered all my questions. The service was quick. No complaints. Overall, I'll come back to try the food. Hopefully, they'll be stocked with fruity drink options. read more
First time stopping in despite always shop at the Asian grocery store next door. I got the combination rice #11 and #14 grilled pork vermicilli (I order this vietnamese dish everywhere).. They flavor and chargrilled pork had the right taste. I usually get it from Pho 95. I may even try the spring rolls with grilled pork next time. The bbq ribs looked really appealing and was tender.. Kinda pricey $8.25.. Maybe better dine in since the fried egg on top eaten to go is just not as great. I did not order the drinks but they looked good.. Especially the thai green tea. I am not sure the difference between the original, taiwan style and Hong Kong style tea. I should learn since I do like tea. I usually get the milk tea with boba and not line it too strong or milky.. Or dairy tasting.. Kinda hard to describe. So, I would get mine at FroYo next to Thanh Thanh off Arkansas (next street over). Overall, I will bring the family to have lunch next time while I grocery shop next door. I will try the drinks and the durian crepes in the fridge. They did not have that many packaged to go food as previously posted. Surprisingly. The place was roomy inside. The one drawback is the wait time to get your food was a bit longer. I should have done grocery after placing my order. read more

Love this place ! My husband and I drive all the way from Fort Worth just for their drinks, and authentic asian fried rice . Our favorites are the Green thai tea and the Black tea, taiwan style. They layer most of their drinks with a very milky sea salt foam ( similar to a watery whipped cream texture ) Not the healthiest of choices, but very yummy! I recommend this place to any one looking to broaden their milk tea experience. TIP : If you are a typical filipino and like to order avocado smoothies, they usually run out of the avocados fairly quick, so get it when they are available because they are pretty tasty as well ! UPDATE: If they tell you they ran out of avocados and can't make the smoothie, just go next door and buy some avocados and bring it to them lol. read more
