Pho Palace 2

The main reason I visit this spot is because my significant other lives out here in Mansfield. My first time at Pho Palace 2, I tried the shaken beef rice plate. While the dish had potential, the flavors were underwhelming and lacked depth. On my second visit, I gave the pho a shot, hoping it'll be better--but it left me with the same impression: decent, but not quite hitting the mark. It's not bad, just not memorable. That said, the service here is solid--quick and efficient--and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. If I'm in the area and craving pho, I wouldn't mind stopping by, but it's definitely not my go-to.Food: 3/5Service: 4/5Ambiance: 4/5

Pho Palace 2 is located off of E Broad Street in Mansfield right next to Kroger. The original location is in Arlington off South Collins. Pho Palace serves up many classic Vietnamese dishes such as rice plates, appetizers, and, of course, Pho.We came through on a Friday night where it was crowded with to-go orders of guests coming in to pick up orders as well as diners sitting in for service. They have plenty of seats with booths and tables and also have a restroom on site. We went ahead and ordered the kids' pho with beef, a large pho with rare sliced beef and fatty brisket, and the specialty pho with everything in it, such as all the meats and tripe.The food came out fairly quick and was beautifully presented before our eyes at the table. The broth was looking great with fatty beef bubbles foaming around the base of the soup. They didn't skimp out on the meat and were nicely garnished with thinly sliced white onions, green onions, and finely chopped cilantro. The fresh rice noodles were nestled beneath the piping hot broth and had a great snap back when biting into. I really enjoyed dipping my rare steak and fatty brisket into a mixture of hoison sauce and Sriracha with a squirt of freshly squeezed lime juice.The customer service was nice and attentive and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. I really enjoyed our meal, and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something new, such as their broken rice pork chop plates or Vietnamese beef stew.

I go here every time I want quick and delicious pho.Doesn't disappoint. If you're in the area, definitely consider popping in.

Pho critique; Coming straight from a Lao person, I am going to give you my honest opinion. The pho broth 3/5 more on the bland side. You have to add a lot of seasonings so be prepare. They give you a lot of meat so that's a plus, they are light on the veggies so ask for extra! Overall the broth is not so much authentic more catered to the surroundings if you know what I mean. Khone kao..Service, think about a drive through at McDonald's.. it's a quick you ready you ready? You better order fast Lol the taro boba more like a 2/5. Not the greatest so don't buy it , it's pricey too! $7.50 and taste like it's just blended powder with ice. I would eat there again since it's down the street if I have cravings. I'm sure the other foods is probably good. I still give it a 4 star considering the fact it's in Mainsfield! Probably the best you going to get!

Food was great. Delicious and fresh. The service was good as well. I'd definitely go back. One thing I really liked is that they had more shrimp in the spring roll than Pho 95. Pho 95 only puts like half of one shrimp and one spring roll.

Good Service and good quality food. Was seated and served quickly with a clean and satisfying meal!

The food here is super good! The fried rice and pho is phenomenal, definitely recommend! The drinks they have are pretty unique as well, worth a try if you're feeling freaky! The environment is always clean and gives off good vibes! I really love the customer experience as well, they've always been sweet and quiet! Definitely a perfect place to have some lunch or dinner!

Service is def subpar. The lady here today (short haired Asian lady with glasses)was acting like she did not want to be here. I am so disappointed because this is my 2nd time here and I had a great experience the first time I came. I brought my daughter and luckily the food did not disappoint just as great as before and the other waitress (lady with pony tail and glasses) started waiting on us which made our service experience much better. It was cold outside so it was a perfect time for some food pho!! Def will be back but I will make sure the lady with short hair is not my waitress!! The restraint was packed. I think everyone had the same idea!! 5 stars for the food and other employees- they just need to get rid of the lady with the short hair and glasses.

This is hit or miss. Service is okay, but quality is not consistent. They try to nickel and dime for extra sauce and such. Found that food is ok for dine in, but take out is not so good. I do enjoy it, just wish the food quality was more consistent.

Beware the old woman manager!! Gave me the wrong order, then blamed me for it and when I asked for an itemized receipt she told me she doesn't give them out as I see her place one into another persons check book. Very rude!!
