Pho Palace

Thuy Nguyen Cafe is a Vietnamese restaurant in a plaza off of Pioneer Parkway in Arlington. This is…read morea restaurant that my boyfriend and his family frequent for dinner after work since they close fairly late each night (midnight). This was my first time dining at the restaurant! My boyfriend already had an idea of what to order before we even seated. He has never ordered the Cánh Gà Chiên Nước Mắm (fried chicken wing sauce) and did so today to share with me! We also ordered the Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancakes) and one Café Sữa Đá (iced milk coffee) since we were going to need a caffeine fix. We were informed it would take around 20 to 25 minutes for the fried chicken wings because it takes time to make them fresh per order. Even though we were starving at this point, we didn't mind waiting since we really wanted to try them. It was worth the wait because they were hot and delicious. Maybe even my favorite to this day compared to other fish sauce wings I have tried. Also, there were A LOT of wings. I was truly surprised even though it was pricy. The Bánh Xèo was cripsy, just the way I like it! The restaurant is very spacious. It can fit large groups and many groups at a time. Customer service was good and really attentative to our needs.

It also came with a fried egg on top. It was delicious, the veggies were crunchy and fresh. The chicken was so tasty and very good, it had great flavor. It was really good blend of sweet, savory, and umami. It also came with a little side of fish sauce to add to the dish too. All in all it was a good dish. However, the portion size was small. I cleaned up that entire dish and didn't leave anything behind, I even ate the lettuce wrap. I've been to different Vietnamese restaurants with the same price point, and I've been given a larger portion size with leftovers to take home. That's my only qualm with this place and that's why it's 4/5 stars for me. Service was good, they did a good job taking care of a large group. I'd recommend this place.

(I'm saying this because I know a lady that does egg rolls catering from her home and so far she's my top pick.) If you ever tried Bistro B's, Vinh Binh's egg rolls have more clear noodles and carrots mixed in their filling. Bistro B has a stronger flavoring while Vinh Binh is more of a balanced one. I honestly think each has their own uniqueness and both are good in different ways. I never actually been in the establishment but my friends that live in Forth Worth usually calls their order in and come pick them up.

When they say pho is better home cooked, they're right most of the time. This is the one time, they're not. The pho here feels like a warm hug. The broth tastes clean and pure, delicate in its flavors. No MSG noted. The meat is so tender and the meatballs don't taste like the frozen ones on most pho out there. Don't forget to use the hoisin and sriracha to dip your meat in. The first time I actually went, I had Bon Bo Hue. I thought it was gonna be subpar...but with that first spoonful I knew I was dead wrong. It has the perfect balance of spice creating such a wonderful velvety broth. And just like the pho, the meat is tender and only takes a few chews to get it down. It also has the coagulated pork blood that I crave. It won't affect the flavor of your soup if you're not up for it. Let me tell you though, they are generous on the meat for sure. On both the pho and bbh. I'm excited to try the bo luc lac next time because they use quality meat. My little sister had the egg noodle, and it was also superb! They also sell bahn lot, and y'all. I can't. It's just too good to be true. The lady that cooks all these wonderful dishes is super sweet and very accommodating! I can't wait to come back. My husband already says we're gonna frequent this place and most likely become regulars since I don't cook Vietnamese cuisine. Y'all, this place is worth

I would not recommend Pho Palace or Pho Palace 2 at all. I only go here when Pho Pasteur is really crowded. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and it was really greasy and the meat was literally just chunks of fat. Since I live closer to the other Pho Palace I went there hoping that the food was better, so I ordered of course pho this time. I got the Pho with no meat, and they ended giving me the wrong order, so i just decided to bring it home and give it to my brother. Since I didnt eat it, i asked my friend and she said that the Pho was bland and her soup wasn't even hot when they served it. If i could i would give it a 1.5 because there was fast service. But I definitely know after this experience I would not be coming back. read more

I love this 'palace' it is THE only place I will go to for Pho in Arlington. Do not go to their Mansfield location as that one is more Americanized. The one in Arlington is much better!! They have updated the past year on their decor and it is so much bigger and cleaned/updated their bathrooms (thank you). Great portions and not skimpy on the amount of meat they give you in their pho. Rice plates are good as well and rice noodle plates. Basically, everything is good and their spring rolls. Haven't tried their sandwiches though. I normally go to Ba Le for sandwiches. read more

The pho was alright. I really wanted to eat the egg rolls because I love them, when I got them they were over cooked. My friend got a bun bo hue and they gave her a lot of noodles and very little soup. She asked if she could get more soup and they said no, and she asked again and she said she would pay for it. They said no again and told us that we needed to buy another bowl of bun bo hue. I really hated that, and so did my friend. read more

This is located near the Arabic market, their pho I'd say is comparable to pho pasture good place if this closer to you. I wish they had larger bowls though.

We ordered our typical pho restaurant order of goi cuon (fresh spring rolls) and 2 bowls of Pho. The spring rolls were ok but the meat tasted a bit old. The pho was very bland. It felt like maybe they weren't expecting customers and mixed hot water with pho broth to make two bowls. read more
