    Bun Bo Hue
    Kenny I.

    When to pho's Mac in Plano for lunch and it was pretty good. Got the small combo pho's with brisket and tripe, came with the usual sides like bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño and lime. The flavor was good, but the small size felt like it didn't have much broth, wish there was more. Also got the egg roll's on the side. They tasted fine but a little burn looking on the outside. Service was fast and everyone was nice. Place was maybe half full, no wait to get seated, I'd go back and try something else next time, maybe size up the pho's or Banh Xeo.

    My first time trying this place, my manicurist recommend and it was definitely a go to for Pho! The flavor of the broth was pretty good! We ordered the 40 oz bowl, this definitely is shareable! The service was a little slow! We also had the seafood crepes and were very crunchy with fillings of shrimp and bean sprouts! I would come back and try other dishes! We also had the Fresh Spring Roll, not much taste, too much vermicelli and not enough shrimp!

    Fried Egg Roll - 2 Rolls
    Hannah L.

    Ambiance: The restaurant is generally not too busy on weekdays. It is clean, with quick service and plenty of seating options, including tables and booth seats. The noise level is moderate. Fried Egg Rolls: These arrived hot and fresh, but they were not my favorite. The filling had more of a soft, potato-like texture rather than a distinct pork flavor. They were acceptable, but lacking in the expected pork taste. Fresh Spring Rolls: These were excellent. The portion size was generous, and the ingredients tasted very fresh. I appreciated that there was plenty of meat. The accompanying peanut sauce was also flavorful and complemented the rolls well. Chicken Pho: I ordered the 30 oz bowl, which was a substantial portion. There was plenty of broth, noodles, and chicken. The broth had a smooth, balanced flavor without overpowering spices. The portion was large enough that I had leftovers, and the overall flavor was very satisfying.

    Really solid choice in the Frisco/West Plano area. They have simplified their menu in recent years to adapt but food is still pretty good. The pho is pretty good and smooth with a slight sweet taste. The rice dishes are good with the grilled pork though it's a lot more basic than the broken rice dishes you'd get in Garland. Their best dish is probably the banh xeo. Comes out very crispy and piping hot. Service is always fast and efficient. Great place to satisfy a craving for Vietnamese food in this area.

    Rare steak and brisket. The broth is excellent!

    Let me begin by saying the pho is fantastic. The broth has a good color, lots of flavor. The sizes they bring you are perfect. This is one of the few places I've been that gives the perfect amount of noodles. The quality of beef is good also. I'll love when they give you the option between brisket and "fatty" brisket because you know it will be fairly lean and meaty. The service is pretty good here, very attentive and helpful. The inside is nicely dimmed enough to relax, the decor is simple and beautiful. I ordered the crispy egg rolls and I was a bit disappointed. Anywhere I have been usually gives you lettuce, cucumber and pickled carrots. Before ordering I asked for extra lettuce to wrap each one, she told me it would be extra. I was confused why since it's just lettuce but I told her I'd order it regular to see if I would require extra. When it came there were only 2 pieces of lettuce and 2 long stemmed cilantro pieces. I asked her if they normally come with other veggies like cucumber or carrot and she said this is how it comes but we add the pickled carrots inside. I was a bit disappointed since I love the fresh add ons and I knew cooked carrot did not sound the same. I tried and they were a bit sad. Great crisp but just as I suspected they were sweet from the carrot with an off texture like gritty beans. Overall, I would still come here for the pho and it's not too loud of an environment which I enjoy.

    Adding another review. I absolutely love this place. Hot or cold weather you'll find me here. Pretty authentic in my opinion. I judge it by their bun bo hue and so far, by far the best I've had. Their pho soup is sooo good, and their Vietnamese coffee is really good as well. Also, have to try their egg rolls and spring rolls. Their peanut sauce is also very delicious. Often times, my friends would crave it. If you love pho and Vietnamese food, check this place out! Great for small or large groups. And service is great, food comes out fast too. Pretty good portion size as well. Till then, let's eat!

    Excellent Pho! I had Pho Dac Biet (combination),and Marci had Pho Ga (chicken), and we were both VERY happy!

    Banh Xeo Bun Bo Hue
    Brittany T.

    It's been hard for me to find good Vietnamese food that isn't all the way in Garland. I took my grandmother here who was visiting from VN and we were both extremely impressed by the service, interior decor, and MASSIVE banh xeo (that was very tasty too!). We left more than satisfied. Even the Bun Bo Hue was better than most I've had and still pretty authentic even though they cater to an American crowd. The family who owns the restaurant is also very kind! I will definitely come back when craving some nuoc mam but not wanting to drive all the way to Garland lol

    Pho dac biet
    Thao T.

    We came here for the first time for Sunday lunch. It was quite packed shortly after opening but the service was quick and food came out quick. Spring rolls were nothing special but the pho dac biet is solid for this area of town. Not the best I've had but it did the trick. We will be back to try the BBH and banh xeo

    Of all the times I've been here, I've only had their Bun Bo Hue. Broth always has that right amount of spice and umami. I probably can say that this isn't very traditional since they don't put pork hock and blood cube in this soup. Service can be a little slow when they are busy. It may be more expensive than some other BBH places I've been but the taste and consistency is always well worth it for the price.

    Pho with brisket and meatballs Grilled Pork Springrolls
    Sean C.

    Went for a quick lunch during work. Luckily I got there right before the rush. The food was really good. The grilled pork in the spring rolls was great. I was stuffed by the end of the meal so had to just eat the pork out of the last half of the spring roll because I didn't want it to go to waste. And the pho had great flavor. Getting the check took a little while but besides that everything else was good.

    Fried Egg Roll - 2 Rolls Iced Thai Tea Chicken Noodle Soup

    If you are impatient; please order your food to go! It'll be great. I promise! If you enjoy all of the freshness of authentic Vietnamese food and can wait a little (every seat in here is taken) PLEASE come EXPERIENCE this delicious food! If you think you love chai tea; please order the Thai tea so you can fall in love with it, like I do every time! If they miss anything, they WILL immediately fix it. Promise! Like most places, they only have a few kind waiters and waitresses. But the food makes up for it.

    Stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. The atmosphere was lively but not too crowded, and my party of 3 was seated quickly. We were impressed by their pho menu, offering up to 3 different types of beef per bowl (if you choose beef, but otherwise they have chicken and vegetarian options). We were also impressed by the 20, 30, and 40 oz portion options to accommodate different hunger levels. I didn't get to try my friend's spring rolls, but I ordered the 20 oz beef pho with brisket and fatty brisket. The broth was very tasty-- rather salty, but I still enjoyed it. My one complaint was that there was barely any meat in our bowls. Otherwise, we had a great experience.

It's one of those local restaurants that doesn't need flashy décor to stand out--the food is the main attraction. We ordered a variety of dishes so we could get a good feel for the menu, and surprisingly, the dishes I was most excited about weren't my favorites. The Beef Roll completely stole the show. The beef was incredibly tender, wrapped in a flaky pancake with fresh herbs and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite had a great balance of texture and flavor. If you're visiting for the first time, this is the one dish I wouldn't skip. Another standout was the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. I know eggplant isn't everyone's first choice, but this dish might change your mind. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, soaking up the garlic sauce without becoming mushy. It's listed as spicy, but I found it to be mild, which actually let the garlic flavor come through even more. The Beef & Celery Dumplings were another solid choice. The filling was juicy, the celery added a nice freshness, and they were exactly what I was hoping for from a homemade dumpling. We also ordered the Dry-Fried Green Beans, and they were a great addition to the table. They had a nice bite, were well-seasoned, and paired well with the richer dishes without stealing the spotlight. Now for what might be an unpopular opinion--the Hand-Pulled Noodles. They're one of the restaurant's most talked-about dishes online, and honestly, they were the reason I came. Unfortunately, they just didn't live up to the hype for me. That doesn't mean you shouldn't order them--taste is subjective--but if I were coming back tomorrow, I'd spend my money on the Beef Roll and Eggplant instead. Overall, I'm glad I gave Hong Yuan a try. It's easy to see why locals enjoy this place, and I appreciate supporting a family-owned restaurant that's been serving the community. While the noodles didn't win me over, the Beef Roll, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, and Beef & Celery Dumplings were more than enough to make me want to come back and explore more of the menu.

We ordered: Cumin Lamb (side: fried rice); Singapore Noodle Combination (chicken/shrimp/beef); Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce (side: steamed rice); Okra w/ Giant Oyster Mushroom (side: steamed rice); and Xao Long Bao (6 pcs). WOW! The braised okra with giant oyster mushroom positively SURPRISED and leap frogged to the top of my preferred vegetable GOTOs...The cumin lamb was SO tender and VERY flavorful. One of the best preparations yet. The Singapore noodle combo and Xao Long Bao did not disappoint... More importantly, the service we received was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. Sadly, the eggplant with garlic sauce is the ONLY reason a star is withheld for this review...it detracted from traditional Chinese style; notes of garlic eviscerated by the chef's sweetening to satisfy an American palette...Why fix something that's unbroken?...I get it. The restaurant has to cater to its customers who populate this mix use (business/lease residential) area at the NW corner of Alma and Hwy 121, but doesn't that limit its draw? Guess we'll just have to head either further south on Central (HWY 75) to the Legacy & Spring Creek areas or further west to the Preston and Warren Pkwy Frisco TX area to satisfy our authentic Chinese cuisine food cravings.

But the reviews were suspiciously glowing, so curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled up and I took one look at the building: older, unremarkable, zero curb appeal. Classic "meh." Inside, several large round tables with lazy Susans, red tablecloths, and Chinese lanterns. They first sat us in a booth but I requested later on to be moved to a large round table since we ordered A LOT. But back to when we first sat in the booth - As a Chinese woman, the second I spotted the older seats with ripped upholstery, it hit me like a culinary prophecy: this place was going to serve me some incredible, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what it is, but there's an inverse law of Chinese restaurants: the less fancy the exterior (and the more the booth looks like it's survived several natural disasters), the better the food. Apparently they skip Instagram-worthy renovations and put the budget where it belongs--on the plate! This is now hands down in my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurant in North Dallas - I can even say it's on the very top. I haven't forgotten about the staff. They deserve 10 stars. Super nice!
