Meri P.

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

Banh bao
Celina B.

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
Sereena J.

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

Currently their real business hours
Dale W.

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.

This spot (near AT&T Stadium where the Cowboys play) was incredible. The space itself is huge with room outside, downstairs, and upstairs. Seriously, it's massive, yet still has a great coffee shop feel which is great. Our baristas were extremely friendly and when it came to customizing the avocado bread for my gluten free needs, they didn't hesitate. Their gluten free bread was really good which isn't always the case. As for my coffee, I loved it. Great oatmilk and the espresso was on point. We liked it so much, we drove back there the next day with more of our friends and they loved it. If I lived in the area, this would be a strong consideration for my local shop. Well done guys!

Anyways, the girl in the front was so kind and courteous to this woman, despite her being so rude. Hats off to her, I wish I got her name, but I did compliment her on how she handled it. As fast as the coffee, it was okay. The prices were a little steep for me to be able to visit frequently, but I liked the vibe and the decor of the place.

I went for an event with friends in embroidery cake decorating one and they were so kind and courteous. All of the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. They were really involved in making sure we had a good time, we're enjoying their space. There was ample lighting to work through our projects, and they provided large charcuterie boards for the cost. It's a great deal, especially if you go during the happy hour where elements are seven dollars apiece. I didn't get food, but my friends were sharing the boards at the table, I did however get a coffee. I got a pandan latte extra sweet! It was delicious, and they made it just as I desired. I love this somewhat floral notes that get added to beverages or desserts that use pandan in this had them. The espresso was also strong, which isn't always true when you're getting a latte. I'm so thankful they were such great host, and hope we get to have another event here!

I haven't done the wine portion but I know my friends love wine and charcuterie. So it's a perfect get together for ppl who love wine and others who don't. They have plenty of tables/chairs downstairs and some upstairs and great outdoor patio for those with dogs. I come here often and bring visiting friends here too.

We ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) and ga len mam (chicken platter). - I'm particular when it comes to pho ga, and this one hit the spot. The broth was clean and flavorful. It had a lot of meat and came with wide noodles, which I love. I wish it came with the eggs also, but that's just me. The sauce to dip wasn't my favorite with the pho, but it's because I prefer the ginger fish sauce. - initially I was surprised that the ga len mam was $70, since the picture didn't show a whole chicken. We were very surprised when we saw it come out. Everything was flavorful and the eggs were my favorite. There's sticky rice in the middle that you can eat with the different styled chicken. Overall, we had leftovers for 5 people. Everything was delicious and under $100.

I tried their: - Rainbow sticky rice - Singaporean Tofu Thai Durian flavor - Egg Coffee - Salted Coffee - Hot Pandan Soymilk - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Thai Green Tea - Fried Tofu Regular & Lemongrass - Hot Ginger Tofu Everything was super delicious! My favorite has to be the sticky rice and hot ginger tofu, it was cooked to perfection. And what every Asian loves to hear "it wasn't too sweet!" My friend really liked their Singaporean style tofu and the hot pandan soy milk! You can tell they use top of the line equipment for their fried tofu because of the density of the tofu. The service was very friendly, they recommended great items and walked us through how each item was prepared. The place is very cute! I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes!

When I walked in, the employee behind the counter made eye contact with me, then walked away to the back without greeting me. I stood at the counter waiting and looking over the menu before he finally came over and asked how he could help me. No hello, no welcome, no warmth. I ordered my coffee and sat down to read, and while I was there, I watched him greet every other customer after me with a much warmer, more upbeat welcome. He also acknowledged people as they left, but did not do the same for me. The coffee was good, although a little sweet. I also purchased one of the specialty drinks from the cooler because the packaging caught my attention, but I honestly didn't like it. As a customer, the lack of basic hospitality stood out more than the coffee. I'm big on customer service, and this experience left a bad taste. I won't be returning.

There was lady sitting next to our table who brought her dog in and they stayed in the shop for hours. Everything was peaceful, quiet, and clean. The cashiers were all fast with completing their orders, and the fruit refresher I tried (mango flavor) was spectacular! I also ordered a chocolate muffin and it's so tasty!! I see that they also have tea options. There's also a table near the order counter where people leave their business cards for different services, from legal to home maintenance. I thought that was a nice addition to a coffee shop. I'll definitely be back with my friend.
