My wife and I have eaten Pho all over these United States and, sadly, this place served the second worst Pho we have eaten EVER! The Pho had a LOT of fat in the broth and the flavor was downright terrible. I ate only 3 bites of my large bowl and not once did the owners or waitstaff ask if the food was OK or why I had not eaten the Pho. We will not return. We wish that the owners of the old China One Wok would re-open a place in Denton. They had some of the best Pho we have eaten anywhere in the U.S. read more

Poor service. Rude cashier when I asked if the restaurant was self service since no one was bringing me a menu or waiting on me. The waitstaff seemed to be enjoying the food, saw them eating more than the customers. Saw several customers sitting with water and menus in front of them while waitstaff was grazing behind counter. Oh well, food was just so so last time I was here. Went to Mr. Chopsticks and had my usual great food and service. Food might be good but service left bad taste in my mouth, probably won't be back. read more

My love for this place knows no bounds. My friend and I are so addicted that we had to make a pact that we would stay away for two weeks because we were going waaaayy too much. I get the spicy pho with rare beef. It is literally what heaven is made of. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Fresh ingredients and the perfect amount of spice. Yum! My friend gets the tofu banh mi and loves it! The service can be slow but everyone is incredibly friendly and the food is just insane crazy train delicious. read more

Arrive at 5pm, wait 10 minutes for a menu. Order. Wait 20 min for appetizers. Wait a total of 45 minutes to an hour (lost count) for two bowls of noodles. Never checked on. Had to actually go find someone to get the right sauce. No drink refills. When we ordered we changed something before he left and he verified it with us, only for what we canceled to come out anyways. Took two tries to get the checks right, after asking for them twice and waiting 15 minutes. If you like good food but have ample time to spare this is your place. We didn't end up leaving until almost 7:30, two and a half hours after we arrived. read more

Pho is legit! Best around for sure. Came back for lunch and had the banh mi pork and it was delicious. That homemade Viet mayo is so good that I could just eat that with the bread. Vb tacos were a great appetizer. Thai tea was good. Will be back. read more

This little place packs a big bowl. The Pho Bo Hue was excellent. The service was outstanding in this casual and laid back hole in the wall. We sat in the covered porch area and enjoyed a Texas spring day and great soup. Will make this place a regular stop. read more

If you are expecting authentic delicate Vietnamese taste, I would not suggest this one. The service is ok, but the soup lacks the most important pho ingredients and the taste like a mix of some spice and soy source. I went there once and I won't go again. read more

I was offered their 'special' which normally means it is less expensive...it doesn't here. It was right at $3.50 more than any regular deal they have. It was supposedly curry & that is what i wanted but it barely had any curry taste to it at all. Along with this massive disappointment in my food & 'special' price being more than anything else i wouldn't have ordered a FOUR DOLLAR BEER if i knew my 'special' was going to be over ten dollars! Then to top it off my food was so hot i got it to go not even finishing close to half. When they boxed it up there wasn't even half of my food in the togo box!! Literally! I will diss-recommend this to everyone, there's far better selection than viet bites in denton read more

I've been coming here for quite awhile, but I'm about to give up on them. I give their Pho a 4, BUT - they almost *never* have fresh basil. So frustrating - how can you always be out of a key Pho ingredient?? read more

I was excited about Viet Bites and couldn't wait to try it out. My wife and I decided to visit on 02/15/13 at about 8:30pm. As we walked in we were handed 2 menus and were told to sit anywhere. We found a table in the back and sat there for about fifteen minutes. There was a foul smell and no one had offered any service. We decided to leave but I changed my mind, not only I was starving but I really wanted to try the food. We sat up front and again waited to the point that I stood up and walked to the counter to ask for drinks. In the mean time, a new party walked in and sat next to us. A server approached them and asked for their order. I became upset and mentioned that we had been there waiting. The young man's response was less then professional; "Excuse me?!" as if I didn't have any right to interrupt him. Hungry and irate, my wife and I decided to go to Siam off the Square where we knew we were going to get friendly service and great food. Such a shame, I really wanted to like Viet Bites. read more

Have they changed ownership? When I first started going there, it was great. I've stopped eating there. The last few times I've gone, the quality of service, the food and attention to cleanliness has gotten really bad. read more

I love the atmosphere. The vibe is great. It's my first time trying the pho and I actually really enjoyed it. Although, I Wish they had a bigger menu. I will be coming back to try their deserts. read more

Been here twice now. The Pho is great! The "tacos" are awesome! We will definitely keep coming back to this place now that we have found it!

It's the first time that I tried out this place. The service was good and our waiters were very friendly and helpful. The food taste ok and I gave it 2 out of 5 because the chicken and beef in pho were overcooked. read more

My husband and I are obsessed with this place. We have been twice. Both times the service has been excellent. We tried the chicken wings the first time, and they were very flavorful. We tried the appetizer sampler the second time and it was also delicious - not greasy at all. The only problem we really have is deciding what to order between the pho and the pork banh mi because they are both so delicious! We will definitely be regulars here! read more

I've been twice and each time has been great. The waitstaff is eager to recommend dishes if you're unfamiliar with the menu. I highly recommend the honey basil tea. read more

OMG DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I was eating here Saturday night and saw a giant RAT run across the floor under the booths. I lost my appetite instantly and put a 20$ on the table and left immediately. FREAKING DISGUSTING!!! Never eat here for your own health!! read more

Every since trying pho for the first time a few months ago, I've literally driven all across Dallas and Ft. Worth in search of the best. While my favorite place so far is Carrolton (Pho Que Huong) I think Vietbites is an awesome alternative to quality pho when distance is too far. The more I visit this place, the more I'm impressed with the quality of ingredients and service. Definitely will come here more often. read more

The place should be renamed "Viet" bites. I've had a lot of pho in my life, bad and good, and the bowl of pho that I had here was the worst of them all. The meat was sparse and the broth (the most important part of pho) tasted like flour water. It tasted like they had cooked the broth using the water that they used to cook the noodles.Yuck. I'm the type of girl that can finish an XL bowl of pho at a traditional Vietnamese restaurant but I couldn't even force myself to finish the regular sized bowl that was set in front of me. Never going to waste my money here again. read more

My boyfriend was craving pho, and this place seemed to be the only place that offered any in Denton. We ordered the traditional spring rolls that never came out. Which I'm glad didn't. He ordered the combination pho, the broth was not that great and they do not give you enough meat probably about 4 meatballs and 5 strips of meat for the price I believe was 8.95. I ordered the vermicelli bowl. I added a fried egg, and asked for a suggestion on the sauce. He recommended the citrus ginger. When the food came out there was a long black hair on my egg. He took it back and returned 5 min later with the bowl and a different egg. The fried jalapeños were cold. The sauce was flavorless. It was the saddest bowl I've ever had. The lemongrass pork was good though, again cold. Not worth it. I'll just wait Til I'm back home in Fort Worth to eat Vietnamese food. read more

We loved, loved this place and decided to try it despite some of the negative reviews. The food was very authentic and their VB tacos were creative amd delicious to say the least. If you like calamari, you MUST try the salt and pepper calamari dish, which blew me away. It was lightly battered and well-seasoned with grilled scallions, onions and garlic with a hint of sweet and salty. I'm a native Vietnamese and the food here was pretty close to my mom's cooking, which says a lot! Although I would have liked to seen more variety on the menu, they managed to cover all of the traditional Viet dishes (pho, banh mi/sandwiches, vermicelli, egg rolls, spring rolls, etc). Where they lacked in variety, they made it up in creative dishes that were packed with flavor. This restaurant may look like a hole in the wall but aren't those always the best places to eat? We'll be back for sure to try the coconut waffle with ice cream. Hope you like it as much as we did. read more

Viet Bites - Salt and Pepper Calamari...omg - Vietnamese Near Me - Denton, Texas

See all

Ordered through EatGreedi. Pretty disappointing. Ordered two phos: broth was decent but bland, the proteins were wrong on both, many of the accouterments were missing. The egg roll was very small and the prices were too high for what we got. Won't be ordering again. read more

I used to eat here weekly until one day recently last week I found a short but still medium sized brown hair in my food. I didn't want to make a scene as i come here so often. I asked my server to simply trade it out for a new plate. In the mean time I began to Look around to see how could this hair be in my food. I then noticed the cook has a huge beard and nothing covering the beard. I have worked in the restaurant business and was required to always have my hair tied back, I just can't begin to think as to why this mans huge beard is not required to be covered and in the end resulting to sanitary issue. I knew the hair had come from his beard. It was too short to be my own hair and was not the right hair color as mine..! read more

This is one of my favorite places. I almost always get the noodle bowl with white meat chicken. It is full of fresh veggies and great flavor. It's delicious and I I feel guilty when I eat it. Yum! read more

Love, love, love. Yummy. Light. Nutritious. Delicious. A very nice change to the same old fare. My new favorite.

I really don't have anything negative to say about the staff or the food. I can only say what an amazing experience I've had so far. Yesterday I went in around 9:20 ( 10mins before they closed) and wasn't expecting to be served. To my surprise the guys there were more than willing to cater to me and the bf. Not once did we feel rushed. Love this place! Btw their crispy tacos ( not sure what they're called) is a must try. Beware though you just might get addicted to them. read more

They've improved quite a bit since opening! No more ordering at the counter then having your food lost somewhere along the way. Couldn't decide between 3 and 4 stars so I went with 4 because they've improved so much. They introduced these interesting little taco appetizers that aren't on the menu and they're pretty freaking tasty. read more

I split time between Houston and Dallas and eat Vietnamese food at least 1x a week. I visited Viet Bites for the first time this week. It would be my go-to restaurant if it were closer to my home. I tried the tofu fries, tacos, and a spicy beef pho. All were fresh and flavorful. I also was pleasantly surprised to learn that they don't use MSG. The staff is very friendly as is the owner. I'll come back in spite of the long drive for me. read more

Great start. Cold spring rolls were fresh, soft and crisp. The Bahn Mi was well done with authentic french demi baguette. My compliments to Viet Bites! Good food, reasonable prices, fresh ingredients... and the bravery to open in a competitive and quickly changing market. read more

I could honestly eat here every single day. Best fried tofu I have ever had, and I've been a vegetarian for over 40 years. This place was amazing. I can't ever remember having more helpful service, and the food...mercy...AWESOME! The tea I had was the tea of the day and I can't remember the name of it, but it was so good I had two glasses. Everyone at my table was moaning over how great the food was. The location is small, but didn't feel crowded at all. I do not have one bad word to speak of for Viet Bites, except that I wish they were closer to Dallas so I could eat there more often! read more

Small and charming! Food is really good. Serhice is great!

Obviously awesome. Love the rotisserie chicken pho. So fresh and filling for a soup. Decently priced for the quantity.

Good Pho and appetizers. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Saw a few reviews on here saying that the portions weren't big enough...I'm a big guy and the portions were plenty. The appetizers are a little small I guess but all in all this place has good food at the right price. We always try to stop in if my family is in Denton. read more

Food is decent, but I stopped going to Viet Bites when I overheard the owner talk very negative about one of the customers. I will not go to restaurant that has no respect, doesn't matter if the food is alright, or if it is the only Vietnamese restaurant in Denton. Good luck. read more

Love this place! The noodle bowls are very refreshing & filling. Great service. Never a bad experience.

I give it 3 stars because it's the only place I know of where I can get Pho in Denton. I think the people are nice, the service is quite good, and sometimes the specials are really tasty, but the Pho is really quite mediocre, bland. It'll do if you're sick or hungover, but it's not really worth seeking out otherwise. read more

Good Phu, had a cold, best way to break it up. Arrived after 8, no crowds and did not wait long. Would come back.
