I like the ambiance! Pho Palace is decorated in soft pastel greens, with contemporary wall hangings and micro halogen lighting. It's very clean and comfortable. The service is brisk and efficient. I've tried the pho here on several occasions and found it to be outstanding. I've also ventured to other specialties on the menu: spring rolls, Banh Mi (baguette sandwich), and stir fry. All are excellent and tasty. The menu is printed in Vietnamese and English - order by number! Prices are very reasonable. read more

I always came here when I was little and I am still coming here whenever I'm lazy to cook some viet food. All these years I still see the same people running this restraunt and that is what I like about this place. The food doesn't change. I still get the same good taste in food. read more

We eat a lot of Vietnamese, so it takes something special for a place to stand out to me. Here's what did it: The broth of the Bun Bo Hue Chay (vegetable version) was simply amazing. I have a tendency to take-home half of anything I order, but I couldn't stop sipping up every last bit of this dish. The decor is subtle and comfortable. It's no dive, but not so fancy you start to doubt the authenticity. Waitstaff were very friendly and seemed to both know and care about repeat customers. There were lots of welcomes and asking about people's kids, lives, etc. Their fish sauce is really, really good! (This is important.) The menu is extensive, so you can come back again and again trying new dishes! read more

I'm not super knowledgeable about Vietnamese food, but my first visit to Pho Palace was overwhelmingly positive. I'll echo the other reviews here, which cover everything: - Clean, attractive decor. Attentive service. - Food is fresh, and comes out quickly. - The spring rolls are amazing; I could drink the dipping sauce they come with! - Prices are cheap. Not "inexpensive" or "reasonable" - cheap! I'll definitely be coming back soon, and often. read more

You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Great pho, great banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), great stir fry, rice, vegetarian dishes, bubble tea. The service is great. I used to go here so much when I lived in Arlington that they know me by first name. The interior is decorated well with nice white walls, modern looking decorations, pictures of beautiful scenery in Vietnam. The prices are fair, in comparison to the other pho restaurants in the area (and there are TONS!). The entire wait staff speaks English. Great enviornment for family and friends read more

This review probably should be taken with a grain of salt as I've only had a bowl of pho here as well as their spring rolls. It seems like there are a lot of other items on the menu that warrant trying out so if I come back, I'm sure this review will change. I got the number 11, which is just brisket and eye of round and split an order of spring rolls. Both items were well priced and were pretty good for what they were. I can't say anything wowed me but there certainly was nothing to complain about (though I really hate the lime shortage going on right now lol). The soup broth was good and didn't seem to have any sort of MSG (which I usually determine by taste and how thirsty I am after the meal). It was a solid dining experience, but just not at the level where I would come here specifically for their food. Once again, could change after trying out a few more items, but not right now. Service was about typical for any pho type of restaurant. Somewhat impersonal but food came out quickly and water was refilled when requested. I'll stop by here again if friends are in the area, but as of now all I can say is that this is a solid place to get some pho if you are in the area. read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for years whenever we're craving Vietnamese food. I've had their pho, rice dishes, banh mi, vermicelli dishes, and more. The menu has so many different dishes to choose from, and the price is very reasonable. The restaurant is also clean and spacious. Some of my favorite things to order are the nem nuong (A6), grilled chicken banh mi (B2), and the combination of clear and egg noodle soup (55) I've had nem nuong at other restaurants, but this place does it best. The sauce it comes with is nice and savory, and the roll itself has so many different textures going on. It's amazing. The french bread they use for banh mi is soooooo fresh and warm during lunch time, but if you order banh mi during dinner time, it's not as good because the bread is cold. Did I also mention their banh mi is less than $4? Yeah, that's right. All those Dallas Vietnamese restaurants and food trucks can keep their $8 banh mi. As for the combination clear and egg noodle soup, the pork broth is to die for. It comes with liver, squid, shrimp, fish patties, and pork. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. If you're ever in the mood for really good Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. read more

I haven't been here in so long. I ordered pho and it was better tasting than las time. They really worked on their flavor broth for their pho! Would recommend to come here. Well if your craving pho. read more

This is my go to place for pho or rice plates! The atmosphere can be kinda loud when it gets packed, but on other days it's a nice place to enjoy your meal in peace. They always have good customer service no matter how packed it is and the food comes out super quick! read more

Went on recommendation from two ladies who work at a local nail salon. This is one of the three locations in town they recommended. Pho was very good and flavorful as for the grill for spring tolls. The service was slow and the reviews on here accurately reflect that. it took them 15 minutes to bring a Coke. They also never return to check up on you after bringing your food such as drink refills. There is also a language barrier with many of the servers so bring your Google translator to ask for more napkins etc. read more

Hands down this is my favorite in DFW so far. The pork spring rolls are perfection and the pho just dominates. I've taken a couple of years to try other places and nobody really compares in the area. Apparently my old review was deleted when I updated it. Okay so here's the scoop then! First off, they have the most fragrant broth of all of the Pho places around and it has the most amazing flavor. It really doesn't need your Hoisin, fish sauce or Sriracha. It is heavenly and while some other nearby Pho restaurants have a good broth, there is nothing like Pho Palace, nothing. The pork spring rolls include a pork grilled the perfection and the absolute perfect blend of garnish. I never go there without getting a pork spring roll, it is hard to imagine a meal there without them. For the sake of tradition and because she's freaking pretty, there is this really cute waitress with freckles and I love seeing her there almost every time I go. *wink* (I would imagine she is long since married so... thumbs up to the lucky guy) :) Seriously, go there, it is so good and if you miss this treasure of the DFW area then you are missing out. read more

I went here for the first time with an awesome friend and she introduced me to Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio. Now I can't get enough of it! Their spring rolls are really good and fresh. Give their salty lemonade a try. The portions are generous, but its so good you don't want to stop eating! The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great for family. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

I guess it doesn't help that we drove 50 minutes just to try this restaurant, so let's say, our expectation were pretty high. My entire family didn't think this place was that great, and we're Vietnamese! Do yourself a favor and do not order their Bun Rieu. The Bun Rieu here is very bland. Everything inside the bowl--even the congealed pork blood--was tasteless. The broth tasted diluted. Bun Bo Hue was average; there is much better bun bo hue in Richardson. We came here because we heard they had a lot of vegetarian options for my grandma. She rated their vegetarian vermicelli with 3 stars saying it was pretty average. All in all, this place is just mediocre and I would not come back. Plus side is that it's clean and has an extensive menu, but I would be happy with a small menu where everything tasted good. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. They were so rude to us when we came in for our first visit last night. We requested a booth. They said no we're cleaning that side and it's closed for the evening. We sat down where we were told to. Sitting there for 5 minutes and six other parties were seated in the side THEY SAID WAS CLOSED (and ALL of them in booths). Service was awful. Food was tasteless. Lady at the counter checking people out was also rude. I'm not sure if this was because we were a different race than everyone in there but I was so disgusted especially because friends recommended it to us. What a disappointment. read more

I've been wanting to write a review for this place for a long d@mn time. I lived in Arlington for 5 years and tried all the vietnamese restaurants and reviewed their health inspections throught the City of Arlington. No violations which means you can have peace of mind the spring rolls won't have something that's not supposed to be in there like most other Vietnamese restaurants. That being said they have the best d@mn pho in the phocking world. Their vermicelli dishes are awsome too. Probably not the best place to get bobba tea but it's a Vietnamese restaurant! Anyway, if you go on a Sunday afternoon you'll hit the church crowd and good luck finding a seat. You're better off finding Bin Laden which speaks volumes about their food. read more

oh man. i've been meaning to stop by and eat here for forever, but i never have the chance to b/c i'm always in a rush. I finally got a chance to sit and eat the pho. (LOL) I got the grilled pork rolls and the #19 small. I love tendon! The pork rolls were good. :) Nothing special, nothing gross. They hit the spot! The pho was fantastic! The broth was goooooood. I really enjoyed the noodle to broth to meat ratios going on here. I usually end up with a TON of broth, not much noodle and not much meat. I am happy to report that I had ALOT Of meat left at the end after I slurped up all the noodles and sucked down half the broth. That NEVER happens. very nice surprise....esp since I rarely eat pho on a hot Texas Summer day! Can't wait to come back. :) read more

This place is the bomb. I eat a lot of Vietnamese food and Pho Palace is a great neighborhood spot. The bun, bahn, and pho are all very flavorful and obviously made with love. Thank you Pho Palace for becoming my new pho spot! read more

Pho Palace - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Having visited Pho Pasteur on my last visit to Arlington, I decided to try Pho Palace on this trip. Although a much nicer looking place, Pho Palace is not quite as good as Pho Pasteu as far as the pho was concerned but then again, the tasty meatballs I had last time were still fresh in my mind. What the Pho was lacking was made up for in the spring rolls which were very tasty and clearly freshly made as the grilled chicken and pork inside was still warm. Overall a good solid Vietnamese meal and definitely a place that I'll visit again given a return visit to the Arlington area. read more

I wanted to give this place another chance since my first time (in which I forgot to review on) but both times were pretty disappointing. The service was slow and I felt the items I've ordered were not as fresh. The spring rolls aka goi cuon seemed premade because the veggies did not tasted fresh. My mi bo kho aka beef stew noodle was disgusting. It was way too salty and they had used egg noodles which imo does not go well with a beef stew base. I've had their pho here as well and to be honest, for $8-$10 I could've gone to pho Pasteur for a better bowl. read more

Rather small place with good flavor, will leave some money in your pockets... can't really ask for anything more from a family owned pho place. Only negative aspect of this place for me is that they close on wednesdays read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I go here once a week. Décor is pleasant... music playing is pleasant and non-overbearing. Waitstaff are wonderfull! Food is delicious. I have not had one thing here that I have not liked.. not one! Their chargrilled pork and eggroll vermicelli bowl is to die for. The Com Bo Luc Loc is absolutely delicious. Great Shrimp Eggrolls are served with a yummy peanut sauce and Spring Rolls are served with a very good fish sauce. Pho is hot, tasty and filling. Prices are cheap for the servings you get. Highly recommend! read more

Best Vietnamese food that I've found so far in Texas. Pho is excellent and spring rolls are awesome. read more

See all

Attractive interior. Friendly and efficient service. On to the pho! Pluses: Lots of noodles, ample (good-quality) meat, reasonable prices. Minuses: No discernible spices in the weak broth. Without the addition of fish sauce and soy sauce, it didn't have much flavor. The broth should have been served hotter, just shy of boiling, in order to cook the added ingredients (bean sprouts, basil leaves, etc.). They draw a big crowd for weekday lunch, mostly Vietnamese. read more

BEST PHO IN ARLINGTON... Or maybe the DFW area! I always order the chicken spring rolls and the white chicken pho. Their pho broth is delicious! The chicken is never dry, and is flavorful. They give a decent portion of bean sprouts and basil. The ingredients are so fresh!! I now live in Fort Worth, but drive to Arlington just for their pho! They are super busy on Sundays due to the church crowd, so as a tip, try to avoid going there on that day :) read more

Lady at the front was so rude. Not coming here again. Service was not up to par. I did not feel valued as a customer.

I have come here at least once every week for the past few months and this place never disappoints. I've tried a lot of things on the menu, from the pennywort juice, pho, bun, and stir fry, and I have liked everything. My favorites are the grilled pork spring rolls (the best spring rolls I've ever had anywhere), #77 (bun with grilled pork and tofu wrapped shrimp cake- you can ask for it with grilled chicken too), and the seafood pho (written on the board, not in the menu). If you're ever in Arlington, make sure to visit this place! read more

Everything was really fresh and delicious, I loved tasting all the different flavors mingled together. The red hot sauce on the table was very good. We started off with the chicken spring rolls, loved those and they were huge for only $3+ for 2 rolls. Then my husband and I shared the Beef Meatball Pho and the X20, ginger chili chicken. The pho was the best I've ever had. The meatballs were a little bland, but didn't taste bad or anything. The decor and environment were nice and clean. read more

Pho Palace - Meatball pho and ginger chili chicken stir fry - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I stopped here for lunch and had a crispy flat noodles dish and fresh lemonade. Both were delicious. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and spacious. It hit the spot for me and the price was reasonable. I will definitely be back. read more

This place is pretty good. It's your standard pho restaurant that you find much like anywhere. I like this place because they give you lots of meat with whatever bowl of pho that you order. I usually get #19. The service is great as well. All in all a very strong restaurant that I hope does well in the future. read more

I've eaten here at least a dozen times (over many years) and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always good, the vegetables always clean and fresh. The vermicelli bowl with grilled pork is always wonderful. Spring rolls delicious. Crushed rice with grilled pork (and some kind of pork skin maybe?) fantastic. I keep trying new Vietnamese places in Fort Worth and Haltom City and being sorely disappointed. There's always some ingredient that reeks of poor quality. While there are still many Vietnamese places in Haltom City and Arlington to try, I think I've been burned by enough bad ones that I'll stick to my two favorites: Pho Palace and Sprouts (both Arlington). read more

The best Vietnamese restaurant! I've tried pretty much everything on the menu, and there's nothing that isn't good. My favorite is com thit nuong (grilled pork rice plate). Pho is always good on a cold day, or whenever you're sick. The dessert (che dat biet) is the best I've had anywhere. read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Arlington. The rice dishes are always good (it seems as if the meat servings are getting smaller and smaller). My favorite dishes here are the my thap cam (combination yellow noodles), dried. Their hu thieu ap chao (fried noodles with shrimp, meat, etc) are also delicious. Any boba drinks are delicious, my personal favorite is the cappuccino boba! They recently redid and expanded the restaurant. So much more open and modern now plus tons of more seating. Definitely a must try if you're in Arlington. read more

Pho was good but service was questionable. We had a group of 10 people, 3 of us had pho and everyone else ordered a rice dish. The food took about 30 min to come out for the rice dishes. The Pho took another 20 min after that. From my assumptions, I believed that Pho is simply pouring broth into a bowl and adding the meat/noodles. I don't know why pouring pho took so long but it really ruined my meal. The food was good though so it kind of evened out. read more

I would come back only if there was no other place to eat :). Friend ordered their pho and I ordered the pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl. Pho was okay. Nothing to rave about. I would say this place gave loads of meat. The ratio of meat to noodle was 2:1 I felt. Broth tasted just okay though. The vermicelli bowl, meat was on the dry side and seasoning of the meat wasn't too special either. I wished they put more cucumbers, cilantro, and bean sprouts. Egg roll was pretty good. Crispy and a lot of filling. Overall, nothing too special. Would come back if there was nothing else around. read more

Pho Palace - Grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl. - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

First, the good reviews for this place are spot on! I took a coworker here for dinner as I was in Arlington for work. The spring rolls are AWESOME!!! I am used to really authentic food, California is spoiled like that, and this is very good! Seriously, the spring rolls were fresh and delicious. The sauces that came with the two different rolls (A2 and A4) were very good. The grilled pork was stellar and was my favorite roll. I could come here and just have spring rolls and be content. We also ordered a couple dishes of the crispy noodles, one with chicken and beef and the other with a seafood combo. Both were well cooked. I am not a big fan of crispy noodles; however, my coworker likes them so I went along as she was a good sport coming to a Pho place when she has never had Pho! I ordered the salty lemonade and I was pleseantly suprised! The prices are very reasonable and do not judge this place by the outside, the inside is MUCH MUCH nicer than the area it is in. Service was good too. I will be fighting myself not to stop here again before I leave!!! read more

Great pho here especially the pho ga... This place is always my first choice to go eat pho at in Arlington. Gets very busy around noon on Sunday so get there early or go late... read more

The pho here is really good if you're going for authentic and not too expensive. Their spring rolls are amazing! They're really fresh and good to eat, not too small either so you're getting your money's worth. The avocado smoothies are pretty good too, they really capture that avocado taste! The service here is a hit or miss though sometimes you'll get good service, sometimes you won't. :T read more

Great foood. They have it ready pretty quick too! Big portions and very tasty all around! Would definitely recommend!

Pretty standard Vietnamese food. I came for lunch and the restaurant was packed. It's definitely a popular spot for a quick lunch. I ordered a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and an egg roll. It's a big portion with lots of protein. Great option for a healthy lunch. The Vietnamese coffee was SO strong. I had to dilute it with a little water. After a few sips, I definitely felt jittery. Overall, great place for a quick meal. read more
