When you first walk in, the place looks fairly modern and would possibly be a good place to hang out if the smell was better. The fishy smell you get is accounted for by their decent sized food menu including banh mi and noodle and rice dishes. The smell is not too overwhelming, but if you know what an Asian market smells like, this is it. I went about an hour before closing, so when I asked for boba in my oolong milk tea, they had already ran out. I won't hold that against them since it was a little late. I did however get white tapioca and I do not recommend it. I personally did not like the texture. The tea, on the other hand was okay. Not the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. I didn't try any of their food, but I would like to come back and see if it's any good. I also want to try their regular boba as opposed to the white tapioca. read more

This place has WiFi now! However I recently got the green Thai tea. Sadly the tea leaves weren't strained and I wouldn't had mind if it was just little amount, but this is lots of tea leaves. The tea is still good! Just wished they strained the leaves... read more

I have eaten here many times specifically for the BBQ Bahn Mi that they do which I really don't have many complaints about other than maybe a little upgrade to the bread because it sometimes can be a little hard. The BBQ pork tastes great and the flavor is how it should be. Their milk teas can be pretty sweet for a lot of people but everywhere in Asia I have tried drinks like this they are sugar bombs as well, or condensed milk bombs. I do like their Thai Style iced tea which is the other thing I tend to order here regularly. I can't add much insight to the rest of the menu because I don't seem to branch out here since I have something I like and go there for. Time to receive food can be a little slow so just be prepared but read more

LOVE their coconut smoothie. It's so creamy and it's made with fresh fruit! Sadly, they just never have it anymore. Don't know why but we always call ahead and they say they are out. read more

Food was great and secret: if you go far in the back there is a hotpot restaurant, and the service there is amazing, the employees were very friendly and helpful, if the food is taking too long to get to your table just let them know and they will work on that very quickly, the TOMYUM hotpot was scrumdiddlyumptious. OVERALL I HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. read more

hard to find due to the small sign but the interior is such a beauty! Super peaceful and aesthetic..something instaworthy! Decided not to try the foods today so I ordered the Green thai tea and it is so good! Had a natural and subtle taste! A MUST TRY! I would come here to study and just order the green thai tea! They also had some drinks and desserts for sale! Staff wasn't as nice but don't let that stop you from visitng this beautiful location! read more

Loved the authentic Taiwanese iced Milk Boba Tea literally SO good! The tapioca balls Are tea flavored and very refreshing. They are so nice and friendly inside. Would like to try their food next time, we will definitely be back! read more

I found my new favorite Vietnamese junk food place at Phi coffee and tea. I came here to try out the Thai green tea that everyone raved around. It was alright, the drink kinda reminded me of the Vietnamese grass jelly fruit drink. However, I did really enjoyed their baked clam dish, it reminded me of the time I had them in Vietnam's junk food stalls. :) The restaurant was cute and it was decorated like Izakaya (Japanese) style. They were playing Korean music the whole time I was there. It was overall a nice place to meet with friends and for cheap eats. Service was like an order to go style and the cashiers were friendly. I'm going to give it 4 stars! read more

Love Love Love this place! The restaurant is located in the same building with Hiep Thai market, and pretty tiny store-wide. However, the inside is pretty spacious for groups, not too big but more like a warm and cozy atmosphere. As I walked in, I was amazed by the decorations, it brings you a contemporary vibe with a very relaxing feeling, the owner definitely had good eyes! On the left is a set up for live music with a piano and drums (they used to have live music every Saturday night but I'm not sure if they're still keep it going), the right side had more tables and as you go further in to the order bar, they also had more tables with giant teddy bears as decorations :) I always go to Phi whenever I'm craving Vietnamese food (not very authentic but 90% close to) and milk teas. My favorite drink is Oolong Tea with Sea cream Saigon style and favorite dishes are Bun dau mam tom, Bun thit nuong and Pha lau (I know it's too much lol). Service is a hit or miss because the workers there didn't communicate much with customers, but they do serve you if you dine-in. Overall, my favorite Vietnamese to-go! read more

I pretty much had the same experience as others have had. Their food is super good. Especially the seafood, it tastes like home! But the service is severely lacking. Maybe they should have actual table service and allow the customers to tip their staff instead of a hybrid McDonald checkout with some table service. We have to asked the staff several times because we need utensils, napkins, sauces... It's clear that they don't care much about customer service. The price is decent. Not so good, not so bad. Generally speaking. I'd come here again for their seafood. read more

The ribs were so hard, I swear the calories i lost from the effort trying to cut it break even with the calories i take in from eating it. And their picture on the menu was so deceiving. And for dine-in sub sandwich to be served like they were to go, i think it's little short on presentation. But again, their pictures were very deceiving lol read more

Full disclosure - Vietnamese-American, traveled all over the United States and eaten at every major metro-hub to find the most authentic and creative Vietnamese food. This modern cafe throws down the most authentic, tasty, and palette-party inducing dishes you will find anywhere in the U.S. Don't take my word for it, stop scrolling and just get a banh mi or the mi quang. Your stomach will be in 100% agreement with my sentiment, go ahead what are you waiting for!!! P.S. If you are really looking for something different, go and try to Mi Vit (duck noodle soup). read more

Found this hidden gem via my best friend! I love the ambiance of the cafe. It's so cute! It looks like they may have live music on some nights. The decor is cute and whimsical. I personally recommend getting their Thai green tea with the white jelly! It's soooo yummy!!! I haven't really tried their food items but most def will check it out next time! read more

So I've been here three times. The first 2 times I tried ordering food and they said they ran out of food.. I thought it was odd since there's a market attached to the place.. anyways I ended up getting the green Thai tea and it was delicious. This third time I came they were fully stock and I got to finally try the food! However I order the mi quant and was very disappointed. Not flavorful at all and I probably will never order it again here. But I did enjoy the wintermelon cream tea! I think this place is very cute and has a nice atmosphere with great drinks.. read more

I always see Phi and never go there but i would always look at pictures of the food and drinks and finally I decided to go there tonight bc I was super hungry. As I walked in, I was not greeted by any employee to tell me where I need to sit. we looked at the menu at the counter, ordered and picked a seat. I wasn't aware but the water is self serve too. Okay... the food. I ordered duck noodle soup and my bf got the pho. You really can't mess up pho, I'm a huge foodie and I love cooking too so it isn't that hard. The pho tasted homemade which is great, but it had a strong toasted cinnamon flavor that overpowered the star anise and beef flavor. Not my favorite kind of pho, it wasn't bad but it was unique... my bf said the meatball was good. My duck noodle soup was good too but not something I would order again. Rather "okay" Mainly bc I like duck but maybe it's not my preference as a soup, I did not like it. My Thai tea was very watered down, it wasn't sweet at all and I have no idea why my Thai tea wasn't good bc it's easy to make and every Vietnamese restaurant I've been to never messes up Thai tea. My overall experience, I wanted to like the business but I just couldn't. read more

I come often and enjoy it every time! Especially their Thai green tea, rice, and durian crepes! Yum! Unfortunately, as I was drinking my drink I noticed a piece of hair and "strawed" it out. It was a long reddish-brown strand that had a slight curl to it. Very grossed out and threw out the rest of my drink sadly. I currently have dark brown and straight hair, so it's definitely not my own. read more

The landing from sfo was kinda rough to my head and stomach but I finally made it. First meal here. The drinks are soooo yummy! Duck noodle , fish noodle and Chinese dry noodle. The duck noodle is sooo good. The rest is good too but the duck beat the rest. The duck has so much flavor and fall off the bone tender. Sooo satisfied after a rough landing. Totally recommend the thai green tea and duck noodle. A must try if haven't. read more

This is an update 9 months later. Since then i've tried their food and different drinks so i can review more thoroughly. they also changed the interior design and added decorations so it looks more like a cafe now. Service: Average. Sometimes they call out your drinks but their music's volume is so high you have to pay attention (music is nice but when you cant talk to others,its a prob). keep in mind some workers are new so they're slower with taking ordes. The nice thing is they will change your drink if you dont like it,unlike other Vietnamese place. I did this a couple of times and they were more than welcoming to do it so if you dont like ur drink,let them know. Food: their food is a bit more pricey compare to ur regular Vietnamese restaurants so i dont stop by that often.their mi vit tiem (duck noodle soup),beef stew noodle soup,customized fried noodle,rice plate are good.they have banh mi (never try),shrimp spring roll (good),fried bun,che, corn milk (my fam loves this) etc Drink: i always get their Phi style green milk tea. My friend likes the Taiwanese one. I dont like the sea salt and that drink with green tea powder much. Others get it tho. I like how they use real milk + tea (u can watch them make it). Their avocado shake is a must as well,very creamy with real avocado. They have water on the side so dont ask cuz they wont bring it out. You have to get it urself. But i didnt like how they do drink w no ice. I got my milk tea w no ice last time cause i wont be home for a while and i literally got half a cup of milk tea? I didnt feel like arguing but other places add tea or water if you get no ice so u at least get 2/3 a cup. They should fix this cause i want to get my money worth. Also,they have live band on Sat night consist of lots of Vietnamese youngster singing trendy songs but its super loud. Personally i dont like noisy place when i hang out w my friends so i avoid going here on Sat night.if u like singing or like these stuffs then u'll prob like it! Overall they improved a lot since my last review but still need to fix a few things.sometimes they re short on staffs and no one clean the tables or its sticky. I still come once a while for their milk tea tho! read more

Well, after 2 years it turned out they don't only serve drinks but also food. I just have to say their broken rice is the best in America. Also, since my last review, they've revamped a lot in decoration, making the whole thing look nicer in general. I could enjoy my evening coffee beside the cute, warm interior. If you like music, they have open performance on Saturdays where local bands come and play songs. You can volunteer to sing, too. The customer service is still good, but sometimes I feel like the new staff don't put full "heart" into serving the customers as the old ones did. Anyway, a good place that deserves my 4 stars. read more

Phi Coffee & Tea - Business card!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

After living in the Philippines for over a year, I got hooked on good milk tea. The challenge has been finding something that comes close to the goodness of Asia, right here in Texas. Enter Phi. My husband and I have tried a few of their milk teas, and the one that has won us over is their Green Tea Thai milk tea. Oh it is perfection and a thing of beauty before giving it a stir. It's that perfect blend of creaminess with the actual taste of real tea. It isn't overly sweet, and it doesn't come off bitter either. We've also had their grilled pork bahn mi, which is delicious! The price is great too. I believe it was about $3.50 or so for a huge sandwich. Oh, and make sure you try their fried dumplings called bahn bao. Those things are addicting! Especially if you ask for a side of the sauce they typically serve with the little shrimp roll. So good! read more

Came here to eat for lunch with my family. We ordered all at the same time and they told us that the meal my dad and I order would take awhile to make so we agreed to wait. My mom and sister got their food within 10 minutes while my dad and I patiently waited. After 35+ minutes of waiting, we were getting irritated so my mom went to question what's taking so long. Turns out that they forgot about our meal and didn't even start cooking our food yet. This place has really bad service and definitely would not go back there. read more

I love this quaint little vietnamese restaurant hidden next to the big asian super market! They have a wide array of different foods that I don't see everywhere. Their coconut drink is really refreshing and they have the best mi quang around! Super creamy and peanuty and filling! I also love their Thai green tea and their com tam with ribs. Service was nice and they're usually pretty swamped with I come in so be prepared to wait a little bit for your food! It's worth it though! They even have seafood items like snails here which is really cool and different! read more

I've been going here for the longest, their food are the best! Except for the Banh Mi, not a fan of it. But everything else is good! Great service too, the dishes always come out quick and hot. Their boba is sooo good! I would recommend this place for those Boba Tea Lovers! (: read more

So far I've tried majority of the drinks on their menu and I have yet to be disppointed. I've also tried their banh mi thit nuong, thit nuong plate, banh bot chien, banh mi op la, pho, and hu thieu and all of the dishes have been more flavorful than most places I've tried. My favorite dish would have to be the thit noung and I definitely want to try more of their dishes. Service is good depending on the person you're dealing with, but I guess that's with any place you go to. On top of the great drinks and food, their decorations are absolutely adorable, but getting to their restroom seems really sketchy. Overall, I really like the menu items and atmosphere of the place and it's a great place to hang out and eat. read more

This place is such a hit and miss. I like their rice plate and the thai green tea the most. The flavor of food or drink is not always the same. Sometimes it can be very good, but sometimes not so much. They have a lot of workers and they rotate interchangeably. They have lot of the street food and traditional vietnamese food that are hard to find at any other places. So I have a love/hate relationship with this place. read more

Phi Coffee & Tea - Thai green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I feel like this place deserves better recognition than it recieved. This is my 3rd time going and im finally writing a review Atmosphere: Upon entering its a very "Asia gone America" vibe. It's a very cozy decor. Lounging is pretty much encouraged as they have a small set of board games like monopoly and jenga. The only thing that sucks is the neighboring restaurant is pretty much run down but nothing can be done about that since its a food court rented s Food: I beleive they did a great job bringing what not every place has. Its one of the places that has mi quang and even hot vit lon (duck egg). I ordered the salmon rice plate and it was perfectly done to my taste. The salmon had a caramelized crust and a great to tasting fried egg with it. The only draw back was that their veggies look like it was left to dry rather than preserved with the natural condensation. Drinks: It's not perfect but it's not the worst. It's pretty good for its worth. Ordered a winter melon cream tea and my mom got the thai green tea. They each have that natural tea bitterness but a little too much sugar to try and hide it. ( ask for little sugar in my opinion) Drinks are definitely great and refreshing though. The best part is their playlist. All the great 00's throwbacks and great k-indie songs. Would definitely come and relax to the music. Does this plane deserve a chance? Definitely. There's not much to make you dislike it. read more

This place is a bit slow. But their egg coffee is pretty good on a sweeter side but it's good

Twice this place forget our orders (20 minutes at one time), and when asked the waitress she has the crappiest attitude ever. You're in the service business please hire or train your employees to do their job correctly, in return your business would flourish. It not just particular waitress but every single service person that work there has horrible attitude. The place has a nice atmosphere, the food and drinks are decent so the potential is there. It has been known that majority of Asian operated restaurant has horrible services and it had set the stereotype. Core strategy of any restaurants should be: offering great food and a great service experience, service experiences is what bring customers back. read more
