    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.

    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.

    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

    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"

    Pork Banh Mi

    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!!

    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 :)

    Crab soup... disappointing
    Marvella C.

    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.

    They have a more limited menu now it seems, sandwiches, rice dish, drinks . Price great, sandwich good crunchy bread

    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.

    Custom one of a kind durian birthday cake. Basic decoration but your taste bud will thank you
    Cam P.

    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.

    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!

    Definitely worth it!!…read more Food 5/5: it was so good!!! It was late in the night and my Vietnamese cravings led me here and it did not disappoint! I got Bun Bo Hue, fish sauce wings, and their special rice plate. No one can beat my mom's cooking but this is coming in close. Sometimes the soup would be too bland but this was perfect. Service 5/5: it was late and I felt bad but they took good care of us and made sure we had what we need. Ambiance: it felt like home! They had the Vietnamese street videos on and I love it. Parking: free parking!

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.

    Solid Vietnamese food with a huge menu. Apparently this is pretty famous place. Service was okay…read more I got the butter fried chicken (10/10 we ordered some togo), pork rice plate (eh okay 6/10), cơm gà xối mở (pretty solid but a little dry) and curry with bread and rice (good and pretty spicy but tasted more like indian curry than what I was expecting). The bread was great and tasted fresh and fluffy. Overall I would bring people who to try an abundance of different Vietnamese dishes.

It was juicy, tender and had just a tad of fat in it. The lemongrass came off a little strong but that's the way I like it. The portion size is just crazy, I couldn't even finish it! We also had the sliced pork over broken rice was just as flavorful, but the meat was a bit dry. The nuoc mam (dipping sauce) helped with the dryness, but it was a little too sweet for my taste so I didn't use much. The ambiance was pretty chill on a Friday afternoon. There were 5 other tables and non-stop Door-dash orders/pick-ups. The servers were super friendly, especially the little older Asian lady. She was so polite and inviting, such a sweetheart. I can't want to come back to try other items in their menu!
