On our way to our usually pho place, Hubby and I saw Pho Tay Do and decided to digress her. The best part of this small family run restaurant is the food. The pho ga (chicken pho) has the clearest flavorful broth we have had. The grilled pork on my bun (vermicelli) was charred and flavored perfectly. The prices are very reasonable for the food. Unfortunately, a deduction of one star was for the lack of customer service. Almost all of the empty tables were not cleaned and still full of dishes. We were never greeted, and sat down for some time before acknowledged. If you come here, get past the lack of service and enjoy the food. read more

This is a pretty nice and clean establishment. Service was prompt and nice. I went in to try their infamous bun bo hue. Hubby had their com dac biet (very delicious pork on their rice plate). I loved the portion sizes and prices. But the broth was not as rich as I had hoped it would be. I like mine a little spicier and more rich in taste. But do please give them a try. read more

Tried my first Bun bo hue at this restaurant thanks to a recommendation from the Facebook Group "Asian Grub in DFWDUB". It was good and tasty. I like my soups to be a bit more spicy so asked for additional chili. I recommend going to try this place at least once! read more

The owner is so nice! I don't know what else to add but he is the absolute best. Its good

Well this is a pho restaurant but not many people are ordering pho I tell you that. Majority of the patron eating here are getting bun bo hue and so did I! Their bun bo hue seems to be their signature dish. The spicy, savory, tangy soup is amazing! It has hues of lemon grass, and earthy flavor. Rice noodles are cooked to perfection. Oh yeah, there is plenty of protein too! Thin slices of and savory Vietnamese ham. Blood cake and pigs feet were omitted from my bowl. Trust me and the many others here, order the bun bo hue! read more

We love this place - weekly family staple for several years now. the #29 is incredible and by ordering the #17 & #18 can't go wrong but if you prefer the #17 "white meat" call early because sometimes can run out Even introduced my "foodie" Houston friends and they gave it thumbs up.

Pho Tay Do - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Come here for the Bun Bo Hue!! I can't speak for any other dish that they have, but their main specialty is BBH. It's a very small space, and usually pretty full on the weekends with who I'm guessing are regulars. Pho Tay Do is located in the same area as LA Burger, and is the epitome of a hole in the wall restaurant. The lot is small and unassuming, but parking isn't ever an issue for me. This is the next best thing to having someone's grandma make BBH for me, so come here when you don't have a Vietnamese grandma on call!! It comes in two sizes- regular and large. I always get the regular, and it's very filling read more

This is the only place I will eat Bun Bo Hue and Pho in the DFW area. Their bowls are loaded with meat and the broth is seasoned perfectly every time. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The service is always consistent and fast. They have been giving water bottles out since COVID which I think is genius. Make sure you go on the weekdays because the wait on the weekends can be long. Their to-go orders are also always spot on if you don't have time to eat in. read more

I'm from New York, and I was looking for good pho places in Dallas. Best bun bo hue that I've ever had, amazing service, and the ambiance is very welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

The Bun Bo Hue was amazing the broth was spicy. The bean sprouts and basil were fresh, the only thing missing was the blood curd. But overall it was super good I can't wait to go back. The service was quick if you go before 12 you will find a table available. read more

What kind of Bun Bo Hue with no blood and no bun bo hue veggies. I definitely would not recommend because they cutting back too much and too lazy to give us the vegetables because we come almost closing time. read more

My go to for Bun Bo Hue! I love their Bun Bo Hue! Their service is fast. They are a family owned restaurant. There is one waitress there who is the sweetest. The only English she speaks is directly related to her job as a waitress, but she is a dear. I work close by and, anytime, I crave soupy noodles (all the time!), I go to Pho Tay Do. I also have dinner or lunch meetings there. NOTE: you will smell like pho after so I suggest you take off sweaters/jacket and scarves when you go in. read more

Amazing BBH and is so close to where I live. Why haven't I eaten here before? Came here for lunch and of course got a large BBH (9.89$). One bite and I was blown away by the amazing flavor of their broth, meats and noodles. When they say large on their menu they really meant it. Their large bowl of BBH is huge and super filling. However, after eating their large bowl, I could have definitely throw down another one because it was so good. I also tried their Bun Thi Nuong (8.59$) and it was also super flavorful and definitely highly recommended. Please try these two if you come here because you can't really go wrong with either one. The service here was also top notch. After sitting down and ordered, the food come out literally less than 5 mins, unbelievable. Will be returning here for sure. read more

If you can't tell by all the reviews already, their bun bo hue is so delicious. I have been here multiple times with multiple people and every person always gets their BBH. And for each visit when I walk around the restaurant (being seated and/or paying out), most tables are also stacked with bowls of BBH. It's your typical Vietnamese restaurant set up and service but the BBH is so worth it. It's a good thing I don't live closer because I would be here all the time! read more

Pho Tay Do - bun bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

One of my favorite things to eat during the winter is Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) and this place has one of the best in Dallas. The restaurant is pretty typical on the lines of Vietnamese Restaurants, but luckily many of the workers are friendly and they speak English. I loved the flavor of the broth and it had a very good balance of spiciness to it. My friend also got their dried noodle dish and it looked amazing- loved the presentation skills. Only down side is that I wouldn't recommend a friend here for pho. Their pho was very very basic and bland. Overall, I would recommend this place for bun bo hue, this soup isn't the easiest to make so to make it as well as they did deserves a shout out. read more

Probably most likely my favorite pho place to go from now until forever. The broth for the pho soup is so flavorful and it definitely goes well whether it is for a hangover or on a cold day! the meat is tender and the size is pretty good too! I usually just get whatever meat try one piece and give the rest to boyfriend because I don't like meat in my noodle. but none the less it is good! I heard their other dishes are good too and I am determined to try everything else! care to join me? :) read more

Pho Tay Do - 05. The soup is delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I used to work near this restaurant and on one occasion, I came in for a grilled pork dish. It was good, but sweeter than I normally like, and given the vast array of Vietnamese options around this area, I didn't return for a while. After hearing about the Bun Bo Hue, I decided to come back and was glad that I did! As other have mentioned, this place is known for its Bun Bo Hue. No to be confused with Pho, this soup is noticeably darker, spicier, and to me, has a lot more flavor. I found the flavors to be quite similar to pork broth ramen compared to pho. If you're really hungry, get the large, otherwise, I think the normal portion is more than suffice. If it's cold outside and you're looking for something comforting, or if you just want to see what all the hype is about for their BBH, I can't think of a better place around to try it out. read more

I thought I already wrote a review here! I guess not... But since I'm about to head there to meet up some friends, here's my review. I CRAVE for this place. In one week, I went here 3 times... yes, it's that good. Since it's so cold out there, it's the best time to have it! I've only had their bun bo hue here.. maybe had their cha gio (fried egg rolls) but that's it. I come here for just one thing. It has just the right amount of spiciness and flavor to it. Not too much satay and not too much fat floating around either. It always hits the spot. Can't say too much about the ambience of the place. It literally is a hole in the wall. They could work on the decor but when you have constant customers, where's the need? They do need to hire more employees because when it's busy, it's pretty chaotic. I've referred some friends and they've fallen in love with it too! I don't think I've had any friend, Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese friend dislike this place. read more

This is one of those Bun Bo Hue hidden gems. I have never been disappointed with this place the countless times that I've been here. First off, DO NOT order anything else but the Bun Bo Hue. There are many restaurants out there that try to compete with this place but one thing that makes it stand out is the consistency. It's not a fancy restaurant and the cleanliness can be pretty scary. The food makes up for it though. I STRONGLY recommend coming here for the Bun Bo Hue read more

One of the best bun Bo hue in town! That's all I really go there for. The amount of spice and flavor is out of the ordinary and you get a lot of meat, all the meat. Well worth every penny. I'll admit. It's an addiction and I don't need counseling for it. read more

I'm obsessed with their bun bo hue, which is their number seller! If you've never eaten here before, the first dish you should try is just that. It's a spicy traditional Vietnamese noodle soup with thin slices of marinated and boiled beef shank, chunks of oxtail, pig knuckles, and small blocks of congealed pig blood, which looks like a cross between chocolate and tofu. Fresh, raw vegetables are then placed on top. If you don't like spicy food, you can always request for it to be milder. I highly recommend this dish. The reason why I gave this restaurant a four star rating is because of the smell. The place is dirty and unhygienic, so if you want eat their food in a better environment, order their dishes to-go and enjoy them in the comfort of your home! read more

This was my second visit here. On my first visit I had their pho (beef noodle soup) and I vowed not to come back. After telling everyone about my experience they told me that I should have gotten the bun bo hue as that is their best dish. So when a friend asked me to have lunch with her here I decided I would give it a second chance. When we arrived the place was almost a full house. We got the last table which had to be cleaned off before we could sit. We ordered some of their pork egg rolls ($2.49 for 2) and two bun bo hue bowls ($6.29 for a small and $6.99 for a large). Our egg rolls and our bun bo hue came at the same time. I figured egg rolls were an appetizer but what they hey? I guess it's our fault for not telling them we wanted it out first. The egg rolls were not great whatsoever. We took one bite and disposed of the rest. The shell looked old and stale and tasted stale. The pork inside was not much better. It lacked flavor and, quite honestly, I make far superior eggrolls at home myself. The bun bo hue did not live up to its reputation in my eyes. It comes with some lime, shredded red cabbage, basil and bean sprouts on the side. The broth lacked flavor and we had to add some more fish sauce. It was not spicy at all. I love spicy food and know what spicy tastes like. It was not spicy. The assortment of meat was great, however. There was coagulated pigs blood, pigs feet, beef and what I believe to be pork sausage. I dipped my meat in some siracha and hoisen sauce for more flavor. The meat with the siracha and hoisen sauce made the dish much more tolerable. So second shot was a bust. I'm not coming back. read more

Pho Tay Do - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Pho Tay Do was my very first experience with Vietnamese food, and thankfully I was with people who knew what to get. Go with what has already been said and get the Bun Bo Hue. This has now become my favorite soup to eat and I'll definately be driving all the way over here during the Fall and Winter to take some home. As delicious as everything is, from the beef and sausage to the noodles and generous toppings, what makes bun bo hue so good is the broth. It is unlike anything I have tried before, and when you find out the ingredient list, you'll know why. From what I've learned, I know the broth alone has 20-30 ingredients, half of which I'd never find in a normal grocery store. You can't come here without getting it, but beware it can be very spicy -- and some days even more so. Out of preference, I order mine with no blood -- but one day I'll have to try it with. If you get takeout, the cook will very convenienty give you a separate container for the broth, and another for the meats, noodles, veggies and herbs. This way you can fix it at home and have it sit in the fridge longer than a day, but most importantly so the noodles do not get soggy. I've tried the spring rolls and fried egg rolls here and they were good but not amazing, I like getting them to accompany my soup. The egg rolls could be a bit more oily than they have to be. If you're here and not feeling like eating soup then try the charbroiled pork with vermicelli noodles - it is good as well. Very flavorful, but light and refreshing at the same time with the cucumber and herbs. I rate 4/5 stars only for the food I mentioned above -- so my rating is not representative of the overall menu. The service and atmosphere are typical of a hole-in-the-wall joint (of any ethnicity), that isn't to say it was bad, only that communication could be a minor issue. That is okay, because the Bun Bo Hue here is amazing and now I'm really craving a bowl... I'll stop now before I go into an hunger-driven splutter. read more

Pho Tay Do - Bun bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

clearly the hottest bbh place in the dfw area. huge families patiently waiting for a spot at the little green tables at all times of day. a small bowl is MASSIVE. competitive prices and good quality bbh. Just wish the broth had a deeper beefier flavor though. seemed a teeny bit watered down. cha gio is standard. just ordered them because i missed them. served with sweet chili sauce. read more

Prices are great and the food came out fast and tasted amazing. I also tried the red bean dessert which was also amazing. Small restaurant but great food and service read more

In the past when I came here, I always got pho but recently I've made the change to always get Bun Bo Hue. I'm not an expert on Viet food but if everyone says it's good, i always see people ordering it, and I think it's delicious... it's definitely good. I love the slightly spicy broth and the different assortment of meats in the soup. It's perfect for a cold day. The prices are on the reasonable/cheap side. The only downside is that the inside smells like the smoke shop next door. Eventually you won't notice, but it's pretty obvious when you first step in. read more

Pho Tay Do - Combination rice noodle in beef broth - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I have no idea why this place is called "Pho Tay Do." It should be renamed "Bun Bo Hue!!!" because that's what you should be ordering and nothing else. I haven't tried anything else on the menu because this dish made their way is so freaking good. I need a good bowl right now. Service is typical vietnamese "i no see u" but who cares, i'm here for the food. Tip: Just order the large bowl, you only save 60 cents by getting the small one. read more

Their bun Bo hue is top notch. Super comforting on a cold Sunday morning. Service is great and friendly staff.

If you come here, you have to try the bun bo hue! It's one of the best (if not the best--though some of my friends would beg to differ) bun bo hue places in North Texas, and it's super affordable. They use very fresh ingredients and herbs and the flavor is really authentic. The beef is stewed to soft, fall-apart-in-your-mouth perfection with just the right amount of fat, and the soup is loaded with a ton of other goodies like pork feet, pork blood jelly (it's actually really good!!), Vietnamese sausage, etc. Sometimes it's a little too spicy but most of the time it's just right. Pro-tip: skim some of the red-orange oil off the surface if you think it's too spicy. Oh, and another pro-tip: if you ask them to add a little more noodle they won't charge you extra, but if you ask for extra noodles in a bowl to the side then they will. The extra-large size is huge though. When you first walk in the smell might throw you off a little. I think it might smell like smoke since people do smoke outside occasionally? Service is also average: it's great on days/times where there's not many people but pretty bad when they're really busy. However, the owner of the place is really sweet and seems to genuinely care about his customers. You can tell he really cares and is very hard-working. The look of the restaurant is also pretty standard/leaves a little to be desired/family-owned vibe but personally I think it adds to the authenticity of the meal. No gimmicks here! read more

Pho Tay Do - Bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Wow. Honestly don't know why people would even recommend this place or say it's better than duc chung... I mean duc Chuong here in Dallas isn't as good as Houston, but it's definitely better than here. Not sure if it happened to be the day I went with my husband or what, but the bun bo hue sucked. It was very bland and lacking in flavor. Came only once and that was good enough for us to never come back. read more

This place is right next to a cigar place. You can smell the cigars in the pho restaurant. Who doesn't like their setting to smell like food and cigars? Because I know I don't. People keep thinking that I'm a regular here and I'm really not. I don't come here unless my friend tells me to meet them here. This place is seriously a hit or miss and I have not had anything that had impressed me at all. Apparently their bun bo hue is really good, but the first time I had it, it was okay. The second time, was not very good. The person I allowed to share with me who loves bun bo hue, couldn't even take two more sips of it because he thought it was ruining the after taste of his dish. The pho here is fine, but it's not the greatest. I honestly think this is the place to go when people just want cheap pho. But that's the thing, pho is already cheap. Why not get cheap pho with high quality? The place is also dirty and the service here is terrible. Nobody ever passes to see how things are going or to even refill your water. Not worth the time. Not worth the money. read more

Really enjoyed this pho. Very nice people and the meat to my Pho Tai was really high quality. Very tender and soft. Perfect pho after a night out. Life savior read more

Bun bo hue is good, sure as hell exceeded my expectations for anywhere in the Lone Star State. I'm sure many of us will have had better in our lifetimes, but this is far more than passable if you're looking for a good bowl of BBH around here. The only thing is that it's a lot spicier here (still not THAT spicy) compared to other places I've had it. Either way, I liked the recommendation I got from a friend and will most likely come back again. And if we're talking about cleanliness, then this place probably won't win any gold stars any time soon. read more

If you ask anyone where to get some good BBH, everyone will recommend Pho Tay Do. Other than my mama, no one else makes it good enough and even though it's pretty darn tasty here, I still have to get it extra spicy. Although there are many other items on the menu, I wouldn't recommend getting anything else. Pho Tay Do is pretty small for the amount of customers it brings in during peak hours, the servers are slow and inattentive and it gets pretty dirty but the food makes up for it. read more

Best Bun Bo Hue in town, period. Unfortunately the place itself now reeks of cigarette smell, probably due to the proximity of the cigar shop, which means we cannot eat in (can't tolerate that smell). The takeout is perfect though - everything is packed nicely, and travels home well. Their BBH is really good. We didn't get some of the internal cuts (such as liver) this time - not sure why, could be a supply issue, or maybe they thought we are not ethnic and would not like off cuts. Next time I will make the point when ordering, and it will be next time. 8 year customers now. read more
