This restaurant is in Garland. Neighborhood is kind of ghetto so lock your car and hide your stuff. Interior is super spacious and great for large parties. The waitstaff was very friendly and gave good explanations for dishes like how to eat it, and how the sauces, veggies, and pastes were meant to be used. We ordered a Bun Bo Hue and Bun Mang Vit. The noodle soups were very authentic. The Bun Mang Vit came with blood cake, duck, and large pieces of bamboo shoots. The noodles were a little too soft. The Bun Bo Hue came with everything it's supposed to come with - it had the usual meats, one big piece of blood cake, and one pork trotter. The noodles were just right. They gave a side of shrimp paste so you can add more if you need extra flavor. I thought the flavor was fine as is. The broths for both were delicious. You know it's going to be good when there's a piece of lemon grass floating in the broth. Pay at the counter when you're done.
Love their com tam and bun bo hue, this place is filled with Viets which means the food is authentic! Friendly advice, reasonable prices (hope they stay reasonable) and clean restaurant.
Food and service was excellent. I recommend this restaurant. Want the real deal, this is probably as close as you can get without boarding an airplane. Mom and pop restaurant that delivers on authentic Asian cuisine. Absolutely no complaints.
People recommended me to come here for the bun Bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) . But I found it kind of bland and not enough lemon grass in there to give that burst of flavors . It was just another average place to me and so far Houston still has the best Bbh .
The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Our order came out pretty quick as well. The bbh has pork knuckles, pigs blood and even snail sausage/ham. Tons of meat and flavorful broth. The restaurant is also spacious and clean. Would come back here if in the area again. 7/10
Thing I like about dallas is that each restaurant specializes in one thing. I had a craving for bun Bo hue and my great aunt recommended this place. Let's start of by saying that the bun Bo hue was delicious and satisfied my cravings. It was not too spicy but enough that I can tolerate it. The noodles were one of my favorite kinds. The broth had so much flavor and it was overpowering with the herbs where all I can taste is one herb. It was made just right where the entanglement of the herbs were perfect. And the beef was so tender and easy to chew on. There was a larger table that ordered this hot pot dish that I would like to try next time I'm in Dallas.
Came here shortly after 11 on a Sunday and must have been at the tail end of an early lunch rush. All the tables were either occupied with customers or uncleared dishes. I was excited to try the food seeing how busy they are. I think 80% of the customers were eating bun bo hue (beef stew vermicelli noodle soup). I had a few bite from my husband's bowl and we both thought it was tasty. They didn't skimp on the meat toppings. This is the first Vietnamese place that I see offering fresh Thai chili and shrimp paste to enjoy with BBH. Pho and rice plate were just as good. This was definitely a family run business. It was cute seeing all generations pitching in. There appears to be an authentic Viet menu since it was only in Viet. I can't read Vietnamese, so I did not order anything. Price point was a little high too though.
This place is absolutely delicious. Their veal salad and Thai sweet and sour hot pot are so good . 1. The veal meat is super flavorful plus the sweetness of meat, herbs and sourness of lemon. Their sauce is on point, balance so well with the fish. You put a little meat on the cracker and put some sauce on top. Viola! You will get the most authentic delicious Vietnamese appetizers. So delicious 2. Thai sweet and sour hot pot is flavorful, you can taste the fresh ingredients with the amazing broth. Their broth is so good and smell amazing. The restaurant is not as nice, but it has one of the. Most delicious authentic Vietnamese dishes that I have ever had here in U.S. Their BBH, grilled pork with broken rice and bún mắm are well-know too. Be brave and walk into the restaurant, it will impress you
Wonderful food and service. Will be back again! We had the vermicelli and BBH and it was excellently prepared.
Bun Bo hue is legit here. It taste just like how my aunt makes it. They are fast with service and gets busy during lunch. Family own and run business. It's plus if you can speak Vietnamese otherwise, just point to the menu. The school age son speaks English but I don't think the adult does much
If you're looking for good Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. I just want to say that many of the 1 star reviews for this place is for the poor service; while I understand where many of these individuals are coming from, I want to emphasize that I believe the poor service in Vietnamese restaurants is often a prerequisite for really good food. This was true in our experience. These are one of the places that was open late until midnight, which is good if you have late night cravings. Service aside, the food itself was delicious. The later in the night you come, the more limited the menu. We came around 7/8pm, and there was no more banh xeo. We got the hu tieu kho (dry), bun thit nuong, and com bo luc lat. The best thing we had was the hu tieu kho (dry), by far. The dry noodles provide a great medium to which the light drizzle of the delicious sauce clung well. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth, and with every bite that I took, there was another punch of deliciousness. The flavor was extremely complex, with the right balance of savory umami, sweetness, and acidity. Furthermore, you can also adjust to your specific palate as condiments were available at every table (a practice common to most Vietnamese restaurants). There was also a side of soup, which was also very flavorful. You could eat it separately or pour a couple of spoonfuls into the dry hu tieu (dry) to help create a more sauce-like consistency. The bun thit nuong was also very good; the meat had a good amount of char on it that added not only depth of flavor but also a fantastic textural contrast to the noodles themselves. The in-house fish sauce was also very good; I recommend the entire small bowl of sauce in your bun thit nuong if you're a real one. Also add a little bit of the tableside sriracha and spicy thing. Finally, the com bo luc lat was so very good. The meat was extremely tender, with a unctuous, slightly-sweet sauce coating. The broken rice itself was cooked perfect, a little bit fluffy and fully ready to take on the sauciness of the meat. However, the portion for this is extremely small, so be mindful of that. Overall, this is a fantastic place to eat at. The hours provide a little bit of flexibility when you can show up. The experience itself was as authentic as you can get: mediocre service that was greatly offset by the amazing food. Definitely recommend the hu tieu kho (dry)! 5/5 stars, will definitely come back!
With all the great reviews I Expect A lot more than what I received in quality. I'll leave it simple the pork tasted like it had been out all day. The pho (which is supposed to be one of the cleanest soups) definitely was not. It has been the greasiest phos I've had. The fresh spring rolls, had the pork and couldn't get myself to eat it. The vermicelli was the only one I was able to eat after taking out the pork. Hoping I can try this restaurant again with no pork and pho maybe order something else.
Have been on a Bun Bo tour lately to find my favorite and other bests. This was on the list and I finally made it out. I am skeptical because after trying a few that folks here claim to be the best i've been disappointed. This here is again a no frills restaurant. Run by family, the young gentlemen who I believe is the son of the owner provided front of house service. We both got Bun Bo and Cha Gio. Bun bo on the menu wasn't the standout or highlighted item. Just one of many dishes served. It comes out with a side of mam and cut up peppers. Different than some spots that bring out their mam sate. This place did not need that sate. It was perfectly seasoned without being too salty. The peppers were extra hot just the way I like. I overheard that day they ran out of huyet. The bowl is served with banana flowers and cabbage. Most places in us only serve cabbage but real ones know banana flowers is the right accompaniment for bbh. On to the Cha Gio. It had the crispy wrapper but the filling is the star. Includes taro so you get that satisfying bite and texture. read more
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in all of Texas and better than many I have had in San Jose or Orange County California. You can feel the love from this family owned and operated restaurant. The staff is always super friendly and feels more like your eating at a good friends house. The food always hits and hand down the best Goi Cuon (springs. Rolls) I've had at a restaurant packed with fresh ingredients crisp lettuce and the peanut sauce is amazing with a rich flavor and thick consistency and they add chili for the perfect spice at the end. The egg rolls are super crispy and crunchy and addictive when dipping the fish sauce. My go to here is the Pho with its super authentic flavor bringing me right back to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. Another favorite is the broken rice plate!! I've never had a bad experience here and if you're looking for the good good this is the spot!! read more
This is your random strip mall restaurant gem. From the outside you wouldn't expect much. Going inside it looks like a family run joint. Overall food was pretty good. Service however was not. Didn't get our water filled the whole time even though there were only 2 tables in there. You have to pay up front. Food: + Banh xeo was yummy. Filled with goodies + Bun rieu was good. Even included pig trotter + Bun bo hue was good. Lots of traditional cuts of meat and they were generous Just go for the food. read more

Traditional Vietnamese restaurant with very good BBH and must get the large ice tea! You won't regret it except it's so large that it probably won't fit in the car cup holder. Also, don't worry about the stage with colorful lighting in the front, I haven't seen it being used yet but I'm assuming they host late night celebrations. read more

I've heard rave reviews about their BBH and it totally did not disappoint! The lemongrass flavor is really dominant and their cha OC is seriously money. I'm a little torn but I THINK I prefer this place over Pho Tay Do (I KNOW RIIIIGHT?!) The bun rieu was also super super yummy as well. I loved how both dishes had the perfect amount of broth, noods, and protein. I'm a broth lover so I really appreciated the balanced ratio (usually way too much noods). I will totally come back and tell all my family and friends about this spot. read more

I have been on the hunt for the best bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) in the DFW metroplex and ermagerd (no pun intended even though I do have GERD) -- I have finally found it! Phuong Nam is tucked away inside this tiny plaza off Plano and Walnut but it's one you shouldn't miss out on. My boyfriend and I normally make the 4 hour trek to Houston for good bun bo hue and other good Vietnamese eats but now we won't have to go so far for a good, spicy, delicious bowl of bun bo hue! Phuong Nam's flavors are on point with the right amount of spice and the meats are so tender. I usually don't enjoy the meats in bun bo hue because they tend to be on the tougher side but Phuong Nam's execution is perfect! We always see people eating their rice dishes and they look amazing so we want to try them as well but we are so addicted to the bun bo hue. Most of the Vietnamese restaurants in Garland are located on Jupiter and Walnut but trust me when I say you need to go one street down away from the crowds and eat at Phuong Nam. read more

There are suppose to be meat because it's pho dac biet (special). Didn't see this until I got home otherwise I would of head straight back for a refund. read more

How much is their bun bo hue?
I dont know exactly but it's gonna be around 9 to 10 bucks.
