For years we have visited the Pho Palace in Arlington. My first experience with pho and by which I measure all others. This is solid Vietnamese. I have not had one thing here that I didn't like. Usually have either the pho tai, the pork vermicelli bowl or the fried noodles with all the stuffs. The shaken beef used to be exceptional as they included garlic cloves that were well cooked and soft and just overall yummy but I guess they changed the recipe because there are no longer those luscious garlic cloves in the dish. Shame that. But everything else has stood the test of time and fills the tummy with that yummy warm goodness that makes one feel loved and cared for. Keep up the good eats! read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I was served shrimp that was RAW inside. Not "slightly undercooked" -- actually raw. I opened it and it was obvious. When I asked the server if it could be cooked a little more, he took my plate to the kitchen and came back saying the chef said "the shrimp is just like that." That is honestly ridiculous. Raw shrimp is not "just like that," it's unsafe and should never be served. What's worse is that my concern was completely dismissed instead of being taken seriously. No apology, no effort to fix it, nothing. Just denial. Serving raw seafood and then refusing to correct it shows a serious lack of basic food safety and customer service. I would strongly question how this place handles food in general. Definitely not coming back. read more

I picked up a quick to-go order of Pho. Pho Palace 2 isn't that far from me. it's been a while since I had it. I ordered the P7 which consist of Eye-of-Round Steak, Beef Flank & Fatty Brisket (Pho Tai Nam Gau). The soup came with bean sprouts, fresh basil leaves, lime, and jalapenos. Along with onions and cilantro. They didn't short you of anything. A lot of meat was given. The pho itself was between $13-15. Also depending on which pho you decide to pick because the meats are different for each choice. I also had a mango boba smoothie which I wasn't the biggest fan but it did the job. Inside was clean, and quiet. Not packed at all. The staff at the front greeted me upon arrival. I didn't wait very long to receive my food. By the time I got home everything tasted good. read more

My go to order is the Hu Tieu Ap Chao Do Bien (crispy seafood wok fried noodles) and it never disappoints. We were seated and had our orders taken promptly along with our food brought out quickly; however, we waited a while before taking the initiative to approach staff at the register for our check and to-go boxes. There was plenty of seating available and there was no loud music, which was nice to have conversations with my party. This specific location is in in the Kroger plaza but they also have an additional location in Arlington, TX. read more

The main reason I visit this spot is because my significant other lives out here in Mansfield. My first time at Pho Palace 2, I tried the shaken beef rice plate. While the dish had potential, the flavors were underwhelming and lacked depth. On my second visit, I gave the pho a shot, hoping it'll be better--but it left me with the same impression: decent, but not quite hitting the mark. It's not bad, just not memorable. That said, the service here is solid--quick and efficient--and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. If I'm in the area and craving pho, I wouldn't mind stopping by, but it's definitely not my go-to. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

Pho Palace 2 is located off of E Broad Street in Mansfield right next to Kroger. The original location is in Arlington off South Collins. Pho Palace serves up many classic Vietnamese dishes such as rice plates, appetizers, and, of course, Pho. We came through on a Friday night where it was crowded with to-go orders of guests coming in to pick up orders as well as diners sitting in for service. They have plenty of seats with booths and tables and also have a restroom on site. We went ahead and ordered the kids' pho with beef, a large pho with rare sliced beef and fatty brisket, and the specialty pho with everything in it, such as all the meats and tripe. The food came out fairly quick and was beautifully presented before our eyes at the table. The broth was looking great with fatty beef bubbles foaming around the base of the soup. They didn't skimp out on the meat and were nicely garnished with thinly sliced white onions, green onions, and finely chopped cilantro. The fresh rice noodles were nestled beneath the piping hot broth and had a great snap back when biting into. I really enjoyed dipping my rare steak and fatty brisket into a mixture of hoison sauce and Sriracha with a squirt of freshly squeezed lime juice. The customer service was nice and attentive and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. I really enjoyed our meal, and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something new, such as their broken rice pork chop plates or Vietnamese beef stew. read more

Here for the first time for Pho and Bun Bo Hue. It's not for native taste buds, but pretty good. The good: clean, courteous, fast service, good jazz in the background. The taste. Have to ask for special Pho if you wanted. No signature vegie plate for Bun Bo Hue. Can ask for substitution if not wanted pork hooves. No pork blood. Recommended for non-native folks. read more

Pho And Vermicelli is really good my family have been coming here for years we have tried other plates as well.

Door says they close at 8:30pm, but they will send you back if you show any time pass 8:10pm... we tried "to go" ordering and felt like I was invisible. Finally while looking at the menu I heard a comment about being "too late" to show up.. which made me decide to look for dinner elsewhere. I politely mentioned I will go somewhere else and said "Thanks" at what received no response (no manners at all).... Sadly small business aren't what they used to. Thanks Mooyah!!! You made my night. read more

Ordered steamed chicken dumplings, grilled chicken springs rolls, and spicy beef with fried rice after work today, and came across a sticker in the food. I know stickers on vegetables can be missed from time to time but it's just not appetizing to find in your food when it's outside of the home. read more

Pho critique; Coming straight from a Lao person, I am going to give you my honest opinion. The pho broth 3/5 more on the bland side. You have to add a lot of seasonings so be prepare. They give you a lot of meat so that's a plus, they are light on the veggies so ask for extra! Overall the broth is not so much authentic more catered to the surroundings if you know what I mean. Khone kao..Service, think about a drive through at McDonald's.. it's a quick you ready you ready? You better order fast Lol the taro boba more like a 2/5. Not the greatest so don't buy it , it's pricey too! $7.50 and taste like it's just blended powder with ice. I would eat there again since it's down the street if I have cravings. I'm sure the other foods is probably good. I still give it a 4 star considering the fact it's in Mainsfield! Probably the best you going to get! read more

Food was great. Delicious and fresh. The service was good as well. I'd definitely go back. One thing I really liked is that they had more shrimp in the spring roll than Pho 95. Pho 95 only puts like half of one shrimp and one spring roll. read more

Food was good. Could have been a little more spice in my dish. It was supposed to be spicy, but still good.

Service is def subpar. The lady here today (short haired Asian lady with glasses)was acting like she did not want to be here. I am so disappointed because this is my 2nd time here and I had a great experience the first time I came. I brought my daughter and luckily the food did not disappoint just as great as before and the other waitress (lady with pony tail and glasses) started waiting on us which made our service experience much better. It was cold outside so it was a perfect time for some food pho!! Def will be back but I will make sure the lady with short hair is not my waitress!! The restraint was packed. I think everyone had the same idea!! 5 stars for the food and other employees- they just need to get rid of the lady with the short hair and glasses. read more

Good Service and good quality food. Was seated and served quickly with a clean and satisfying meal!

One star out because in dining do not have enough distance between tables. Second star out because order was not ready when they said it will be ready. Also, staff does not try to control the crowd for safety. Although, staff were wearing masks, indoor dining is still pretty crowded. Food is good and potions are generous. Great value for the money. Taste is okay. Nothing special but not bad either. We ordered: - Grilled Chicken - good protein serving. Taste is good. - Teriyaki Chicken - good protein serving. Taste is good. - Grilled Pork fresh spring rolls - smaller than other places. Tasted fresh. We didn't like the sauce that tasted like a bottled store bought sauce. - Fried Tofu - tasteless by itself. Sauce adds flavor but it's the same sauce as the spring rolls that is store bought bottle. Pretty convenient from the hotel. Might try again. read more

The food here is super good! The fried rice and pho is phenomenal, definitely recommend! The drinks they have are pretty unique as well, worth a try if you're feeling freaky! The environment is always clean and gives off good vibes! I really love the customer experience as well, they've always been sweet and quiet! Definitely a perfect place to have some lunch or dinner! read more

First and last time here. I decided to give this place a try, even with the mixed reviews. I got the grilled pork spring roll and pho with meatballs. Spring roll was decent, but used shredded lettuce, which isn't typical. The pho was awful. So bland, so unflavorful, so unseasoned, so depressing. I was fooled by the abundance of Vietnamese people dining when I went there and had high hopes. I felt like I was eating a bowl of noodles and the broth was lukewarm water. Their service is also not that great. As it was my first time there, I wasn't aware that I had to bring the check up to pay, no one told me, I just got tired of sitting there so I went up. The inside was somber. read more

Food: 8/10 Customer service: 7/10 Tried the vegan pho and chicken pho. Vegan pho came with vegan ham which I was not a fan of. Tofu, mushrooms, carrots, green onion and rice noodles where perfectly cooked. Portions are very generous. Chicken pho came with lots of chicken and tasty flavor. Did not like the fact that I felt rushed to leave. Wanted to order more food before even finishing but someone who was not the waitress brought the check over. Well decorated and spacious. read more

My go to Vietnamese restaurant in the area!!!! Maybe I haven't been to enough Vietnamese restaurant in Arlington yet to know if any other places offer more than just 1 or 2 vegan items on their menu, but Pho Palace got a huge thumb up from me for having a good selection of vegan items. For their regular non-vegan food, I used to always order their grilled pork spring rolls (goi cuon thit nuong) and combination rice noodle soup (hu tieu thap cam). Love love their home made pickled jalapeno! So much that I would eat the whole pickled jalapeno container every time I come here. Lucky for me, they have somewhat similar vegan version of the noodle soup I like. The only thing is, if you're like me and kinda specific of what vegetables/condiments that go into the soup, make sure you ask for added celery in the vegan noodle soup. Like most Vietnamese restaurants, the service here is not the best, but it's a lot better than other places. One surprising thing is most of their servers, even the chef (at least 1 of them), speak really good English. We haven't had anything from here that we don't like. Since it's so close to home and the food is great, we'll for sure keep coming back! read more

This is hit or miss. Service is okay, but quality is not consistent. They try to nickel and dime for extra sauce and such. Found that food is ok for dine in, but take out is not so good. I do enjoy it, just wish the food quality was more consistent. read more

My kid and I stopped by for a nice hot bowl of pho. The small bowl was plenty for me not to get too full. The food was fresh and the extras to add in were fresh (jalapeños, mint, and bean sprouts). Service was prompt and our drinks never went empty. The restaurant was clean and very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back pho more. read more

Great place!! Love tue food. The service is always good and the Pho is on point. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

It's ok. Wish the salad rolls used red or green leaf lettuce instead shredded old iceberg. The lettuce inside makes a huge difference to me. The pork inside was delicious, and the peanut sauce was decent. The Chicken Pho was delicious and came with lots of fresh basil to add. Pretty good food for takeaway on a work night when you don't want to cook. read more

This food is excellent, service is excellent. Love to eat here. The Vietnamese coffee is sooo goo, the spring rolls delicious and my favorite. read more

Great food and fast service! I had beef pho and fried chicken dumplings! I will be there once a week for sure!

Placed a pick up order for 2 fried rice, a pho, and a shaken beef with a coconut boba. 87$!!!! what the heck the portions weren't very big so that was an absolute shock. No prices listed on their online menus and the lady didn't give me a total over the phones. For a pho restaurant their pho isn't that great. Chicken fried rices we're on point but definitely not worth 20$ each. read more

food is great but a huge thumbs down for customer service. The guy never spoke a word. He walk around like a zombie. Too many places for Pho. Not going back. read more

Normally the Korean beef ribs are good, but today was an exception. It had a funny smell to it like it was bad and very dry. All signs of old meat from days ago. Couldn't eat it because of this. Hope they don't make this a pattern to save money. read more

I ordered pho, the ribs and a juice drink. My only complaint is the rice that came with the ribs. Lacked flavor but everything else was really good read more

Great service, amazing Pho. Our favorite place to get Pho. Love their Boba tea. Recommend highly.

Best pho hands down in the Mansfield/Arlington area. I come once a week. Beef pho and shrimp tom yum are amazing

We got the wings to start, they were really good and the sauce gave it a great flavor. We ordered a pork bahn mi and some noodles. The guy brought us 2 of the noodles when we just ordered 1 and couldn't understand. We had to call someone else over to explain it, I've heard of this place charging for more than ordered so I definitely didn't like that. The bahn mi was good. It wasn't bad just Pho Em is a lot better so probably wouldn't come back. read more

Solid Pho spot in Mansfield. This place can have off days but they are more consistently good pho days. I like to get the eye of round. The small is usually enough but if I'm hungry I'll get the large. Most of the time the broth is very flavorful and the steak isn't chewy, the texture is just right and it cooks perfectly in the broth. They give you plenty of basil and sprouts and they have all the condiments on the table. If you have a sweet tooth try the tropical smoothie with boba. read more
