Thuy Nguyen Cafe

We came for lunch on a whim while visiting my mom in Dallas. It was Father's Day, everywhere else was packed, so we were trying to find somewhere else low key. I am so glad we came here! This is the best vietnamese food I've had in a very long time, probably since I was in Vietnam. The banh xeo was CHEF'S KISS, so good, crispy omelet, with a good amount of shrimp and pork, served with fresh veggies and nuoc mam. My daughter had pho, best in Texas probably! My mom and sister had bun bo hue and bun rieu which they both liked. The service was just ok, and it did take about 25 minutes before we got our food, but it was well worth the wait. I would definitely come back when in the area again! Top of the line vietnamese food!

This is officially my favorite Vietnamese spot…the food was very comforting and warmed me down to my core, and I suddenly felt homesick for something I’ve never known. I came with my family after my concert and ordered #28 and #11 (if I recall correctly). Being Haitian, walking in immediately reminded me of the Haitian spots I grew up eating at. So I just KNEW it would be authentic. The staff was very friendly and the two gentlemen that helped us were extremely kind. The spring rolls were juicy and fresh, and the peanut sauce was the best I’ve ever had. My mum got the beef pho (I think #2…?) and the ox tail was extremely tender and well seasoned. She didn’t like that the broth was slightly sweet but I loved it. My tomato based soup deserves its own paragraph. The broth was not acidic like I expected, but instead, very rich with a brilliant and robust muted tomato flavor. There were snails, tomatoes, green onions, tofu, and this cake type thing. I’m imagining that it was a crab and shrimp meatball . I’d never had one before and it was packed with a deep, beautiful seafood flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy and adding the fish sauce and some chili oil elevated the whole dish. There’s so many people I want to take here, we will be back!! 💕

I really wanted to score this restaurant higher because I feel like they do a great job differentiating themselves from the slough of other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The food is prepared very well. The staff is great... But man...way too much MSG. We're repeat customers so this isn't a one off observation. We just let long enough go in between visits and then about 5 or 10 minutes after we leave that feeling in your mouth sets in and we're like "Oh yeah..."

Food was really good. Pho was flavorful. They charge 4% service fee for credit card, so you should bring cash or they allow Zelle. The prices are kinda high, but the food is worth it.

BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD IN DFW IN MY OPINION. They dont have a huge menu but every dish is very special and well seasoned. Highly recommended. If you come during weekends there is free karaoke too lol
