The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and peaceful. The service was good, even though i could see the employees were busy, they still saw me quickly. Onto the food: chicken banh mi - bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside - chicken was yummy and tender with a slightly spicy sauce - great price Vietnamese salted milk coffee - delicious, decadently creamy, not too sweet read more

SẼ KHÔNG BAO GIỜ QUAY LẠI!!! (nếu anh chị chủ quán vẫn giữ đứa nhân viên hiện tại, THÁI ĐỘ CỰC KÌ MẤT DẠY, MUỐN ĐUỔI KHÁCH HÀNG) Hôm nay, Thứ sáu ngày 26 tháng 6 năm 2026. Vào lúc 4:20pm. Chúng tôi vào mua vài món Togo, thái độ bé mắt kính không tôn trọng, không lời chào khách hàng, 2 đứa nhân viên ngồi đó cười giỡn không đứa nào hỏi khách. Xong đứa mắt kính vào trong nói gì với đứa không kia, xong nó ra mặt hầm hầm hỏi lấy gì ? Mình chọn món xong nó liên tục nói lấy gì nữa, lấy gì nữa ? Ủa là sao, đi mua trả tiền chứ đâu ăn thiếu đâu! Mình là khách hàng của anh chị từ lúc con gái anh chị còn nhỏ và ra phụ ba mẹ lấy order, vậy mà bé làm tốt hơn những đứa nhân viên bây giờ! Nhân viên ở quán bây giờ THÁI ĐỘ CỰC KÌ MẤT DẠY! read more

Stumbled upon here on accident after wanting to try a different coffee shop and the line was too long. The Vietnamese coffee is strong and delicious, I also ordered the fried egg banh mi and was shocked at how flavorful it was. The baguette was perfect and it had just the right amount of spice. 10/10 will come back anytime I'm in the are read more

Only had the beef jerky but it's one of the best Asian beef jerky's I've had! The thing I dislike is the added food coloring. Small cafe kind of junky looking inside. Guy at the register could care less and wanted us to hurry looking and get out, we probably interrupted whatever he was doing. read more

Buyer beware.. TV display menu said $4 for coffee and they charged me $5. Asked why and was just told "oh, that's the old menu price" WTF!!??" First time and never coming back. Will warn all my friends. read more

I was recommended by a friend to come here for savory Banh bao ( Vietnamese steamed pork bun). I just ordered Togo, but its a very cute tea/coffee shop with a few tables that you can sit down. They also serve salted egg cake, sweet bun, banh mi and Vietnamese sweet desserts like Che Khuc Banh, Che Ba Mau, Sua Bap, etc. I liked the Banh Bao here - filling was flavorful and the bun was soft and light. When you order Banh Bao, staff can warm up for you or you can microwave at home for 45 seconds. Very fast and friendly service. read more

Love everything here! Always leave with multiple bags for the week. So many desserts! Love the flan, coffee, pudding, coconut jelly, durian cake, and milk tea! Wish they were closer. read more

The best banh mi thit nuong in dfw. I think they're better than quoc bao in garland. They use coriander and cilantro and it makes it more flavorful! I also like their som Bo Luong. Not as sweet and delicious read more

Never tried their bun bao until now! Regretting that we only got one! I'm picky about my bao and this one is bomb. Not the traditional meatball inside, the meat is broken up but the flavor is amazing! Definitely going back to get more for "emergency food" read more

Came for the banh mi but left with a bao in my belly and 4 more to go. Heads up tho they stop selling bahn mi at 2 which was sad but i found the baos of my dreams that ive been looking everywhere for so its an equivalent exchange! Service was attentive and answered any questions i had. read more

I came here for a quick lunch with a friend because we were craving banh mi and I'd heard about the steamed buns! The steamed bun was divine, with salted egg and ground meat inside. It's not on the menu but instead in their to-go item display. They're cold but if you ask they'll microwave the steamed bun for you! The banh mi was wonderful, with very crisp bread and fresh vegetables. The pork was a bit tough but still carries flavor and all of that alongside the boba made for a huge meal. All of it cost about $11 pre-tax! There's tons of parking, not a ton of seating inside so I'd recommend your food to-go. Definitely get the steamed buns while you're there!! read more

Love them as always! Honestly to us, the star of the place is their Bông Lan Trứng Muối (Salted Egg Yolk Cake), a sweet delicate commonly found in Việt Nam that Yen's truly delivers. ⁣⁣ After numerous attempts to look for alternatives in both the Dallas--Fort Worth and Houston areas, we come back to Yen's for the best quality AND the cheapest price for the amount of cake you get! 2 quality, t h i c c layers of cake joined by a creamy layer of sauce, salted eggs, pork floss, and topped with even more!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The cake itself is soft and spongy, never dry. The ample amount of sauce coats every bite perfectly. And all the components--the cake, the sauce, the the salted eggs, pork floss--go together perfectly. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Yen's also offers the cake in a smaller roll, perfect for a first-timer!⁣⁣ Join my foody adventures on Instagram @smallbites.bigappetite :) read more

I wish the food was as good as the look of the place. It's a gorgeous and welcoming restaurant. The person behind the counter was also warm and welcoming. But the boba tea and soup were lacking. The boba didn't have bounce, it was slimy on the outside. I didn't mind the tea because it was tea forward and I prefer that. The crab soup was a big disappointment, no actual crab. And other than the broth having a crab flavor there was nothing else to the broth. Also the menu is extremely limited. read more

Does not have as much as they use to anymore. No grilled oysters. I asked for jasmine tea with the cheese foam and they wouldn't do it for a warm beverage. Their steam clams aren't bad though I've had those before. And the chicken feet can be a hit or miss. Overall inconsistent. read more

I stumbled into this place by chance because I was craving boba in the area, and I'm glad I did. This is such a cute cafe! I got the black milk tea and it was delicious. It's a great mom and pop shop in the area, and I recommend everyone to go and support good local businesses! read more

It's ridiculous that you call in an order at 6:30 PM and they take the order. You get there at 7 PM and they are closed. They could have said we close early, but that would be to easy! I'm really not sure to why a business would close early on a Friday night but this one does. Customer service at its best. read more

I was skeptical at first since there's so many snack and boba shop, but now I'm a regular believer. Great little family owned place, try their salted egg yolk roll and durian crepe and you will know what I'm talking about. So far they're have the best durian cake, good pork bun too. Very reasonable price. It's a must try if you happen to be in Arlington. Below is what the durian cake looks like, yum, fresh durian and light whipped cream with homemade cinnamon sugar marshmallow! If you like durian at all you will love it, cake is light and airy. read more

A hidden gem in the Ben Thanh Plaza area! I heard it was known for their banh mi and it did not disappoint! My bf and I got their banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork) and it was so flavorful and had the perfect amount. I also got their cream puffs which was creamy and smooth, viet ice coffee and their che yen which was alright wouldn't get again. The cafe itself was cute and roomy and they also have WiFi! read more

I came in here by chance bc my sister wanted boba tea asap and this was the closest choice. The place is in a building complex across Ben Thanh. I've passed it many times and tbh i thought it was a bar at first bc the Y in Yen's is a martini glass lol. But it's actually a really nice cafe! Inside: it's a very clean and fresh interior was lots of table space. It's a good study spot with lots of natural light from the windows, free WiFi (ask the front for the password) and plugs (little sparce on the main side but there's about three in the corner area). So tip, come charged up first. Their blenders don't go off often either so noise isn't an issue. They could weed their sidewalk outside but everything else looks great. Service: there's a guy who works behind the counter often and he's soft-spoken but really nice! He'll help you get settled w water wifi and etc even tho it's not table service. Food/drinks: I so far have tried the milk tea w coffee jelly, suong sa hot e che (3.50) and the banh mi (3.00). The milk tea was really sweet, like an after taste of fruit loops? It's still good but I prefer a more tea based taste. The che was yum and the banh mi was even better. Overall really like the place, just wish there were more outlets for my study habits! Lol read more

I love the Thai tea! It's made from real tea leaves, not powder. The cashier can change the sweetness for you if you ask him/her to do so. They offer Boba, White Boba and Coffee Jelly. I tried the Rice Plate with the Chili Chicken. I rate is 4.5/5. It came with a side salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, daikon)/dressing. The chicken was cooked perfectly but it was a little salty for me (I'm a bit salt sensitive). My friend ordered the Chicken Banh Mi (sandwich). It was a skinny sandwich with less chicken than I normally see with other restaurants. I don't recommend the sandwich. It was $3. I love the interior design. It's a modern look with greenery. They play instrumental piano/jazz music. It's usually quiet there. I would love to go back and try the passion fruit juice! read more

Yen is a very nice cafe. The atmosphere was relaxing and calm, the interior was very pretty. The cafe makes you feel like you are in a high class restaurant without the high class prices. I went on a Saturday evening and the cafe was not very packed. There was plenty of space to sit and there was not much noise. The cashier can change the sweetness of your beverage so be sure to let them know! They reduced my Thai milk tea with white boba and it was perfect! I ordered a chicken banh mi, which was okay. It was a bit small in comparison to other places but the taste was still good. It is a bit spicy so be careful. Over all, it is a nice place to bring friends or family. read more

I like their banh mi. It's flavorful and consistent compare to most, and this place has become my favorite so far. But i was a little disappointed at how they handled it when i told them there was hair in the bread. There was actually a big clump of hair, and I did not even want compensation. But the way they brushed it off was just like "that's it?" Kinda moment? No apology, just the "oh, it's the ABC bakery who supplied us those, we could give you an empty bread, not the content" i bought the banh mi thit nguoi....so should i dump the content out and get your "new and clean" bread and put it all back in there and continue to eat? Hopefully they will change their attitude for the better, but this was a really bad experience. read more

Driving past and saw Yen's had bubble tea so my boyfriend and I stopped by. Nice atmosphere. Restroom was very clean. This might be the best durian smoothie I've had in a long time. They used fresh durian!! My boyfriend got the pineapple mango smoothie w/ lychee jelly which was also delicious! read more

I have their cheap Bánh Mì almost every Sunday! They are soooo delicious. The grilled pork and the Nem Nuong are both good. Savory sweet and so much flavor. Perfect crispy baguettes and soft inside. I've also tried their rice dishes. They're pretty good too. Their drinks are also delicious. Matcha and Black are my favorite! Also their jerky is great! If you like spicy :) Very clean and eye pleasing place. Service is great and quick! read more

i never want to write a review, but i think it's important to let the world know that this is my favorite place to get a jasmine milk tea in arlington. and they also make fantastic banh bao! seriously i can't believe how many places with trendy names can't do a milk tea correctly, or make nasty banh baos. Well, Yen's cafe need to be protected at all cost! Hence i must put in this review. read more

I could literally come here everyday, super cheap, and super good. The banh mi is only $3 and my favorite one is the pork one. I recommend the piña colada smoothie and the matcha one. The staff have been really nice every time I visit. Their food and boba will not disappoint ! read more

Just walked in as we were in the mood for a bubble tea (or coffee). Extremely pleasant space inside with very nice custom service. Jazz music compliments the vibe. The tea and coffee were exceptional, and we also took the opportunity to try the Beef Pho. The ingredients were clearly high end and the broth had an organic and less salty flavor profile. Looking forward to trying the Banh Mi next time. Highly recommend. read more

My family and friends love their che khúc bạch, coffee jelly and beef jerky!! So glad I found this gem, can't wait to try other stuff!!

Banh Bao ???? so goods 3 for $10, but it got sands in it and something was hard chunk, the guy there said probably pieces of bone from ground pork. The owner need to check their kitchen's food and worker's preparation. read more

This is my favorite place to grab drinks or Banh Mi. I'm a weekly regular and the staff is so nice. The grilled pork and pork sausage Banh Mi is so flavorful and only $3. My friends and I agree that this restaurant makes better Banh Mi than Ba Le. I've tried a bunch of their drinks and they never disappoint: Jasmine Green Tea (my fave), Cherry Blossom Tea (uses real herbs) and Japanese Matcha Milk Tea Frappe (makes the black boba taste like Mochi) are my 3 favorite drinks. read more
