Thuy Nguyen Cafe

I have this bad habit of defaulting to the most basic options (i.e. pho, banh mi) whenever I visit a Vietnamese restaurant. My Viet friends took me to this spot for dinner and refused to let me order pho this time. I'm so glad they did that because the Bun Bo Hoe tasted phenomenal. The soup's flavor hits hard and adding chili oil on top added an unexpected level of savoriness. I was happy to see that they didn't skimp out on meat as well.I also tried two different kinds of Bang Beo for the first time. Both of them tasted great but I especially enjoyed the Quang Ngai. The pork rinds work perfectly on this dish.Lastly, I'm used to authentic Vietnamese restaurants having less than stellar restrooms but the entire shop looked quite clean. Maybe it's just a Houston Asiatown thing. Arlington's Asian enclaves have sure left me full of surprises in the past two days.

Went at 7:30p on a Friday and it was pretty quiet inside. Lots of to go orders. Food was great and service was pretty quick. I will definitely be back!

Food is good and not too expensive. They also have some more traditional dishes that you won't see at more americanized Vietnamese restaurants.

My sis and her partner took us to this spot bc they open late at night. We just arrived and they were already so busy with only two people running the front and two people cooking in the back. Very impressive. We ordered Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings. These are bone in - very good and crispy. Great flavor. Ask for white rice to balance out the flavor. Kinda wish it came with some side veggies like cucumber or tomato. Overall very good. 5/5 stars Bun Bo hue- this is more on the sweeter fattier side. I like mine a bit more lemon grassy which I wasn't able to taste as much in the broth. Flavor is still good. 4/5 Service was friendly! It wasn't fast bc they were busy but efficient enough. Last note:We paid in cash so we didn't have to pay the 4% fee on credit card.

Wooohoo! Another great viet spot to hit in dfw. We got banh beo, banh xeo, & bun bo hue to share between 3 and it was the perfect amount. Banh beo and BBH was my fav probably. I wish the banh xeo was slightly crispier and contained more shrimp/pork as it did get soggy and break on me. However, the flavors were definitely there!

Our large group stopped by for a post wedding lunch and easily filled the whole restaurant turning the busy schedule to busier than normal, yet the owners accommodated our large party like a champ. We ordered the Pho Thuy Nguyen, Pho Thuy Duoi Bo, Mi Quang, and Bun Rieu Cua. I quite liked the variety of herbs, spices and meats across all four orders. My favorite was the Mi Quang that came with an assortment of pork meats and herbs. The bowl of egg noodles had a separate bowl of tomato soup. Quite good!

Service is awesome.Bahn xeo, bahn beo, BBH, pho, udon pork soup, chicken wings... Everything I've ordered is delicious!Definitely recommend a visit or 10 lol

Service ... so kind and willing to help you thru the menu making suggestions and informing us on portion sizes. Great home cooked slow simmering flavors!!! It's a clean space, be on the look out you might miss it. But great for small or large groups. I will be back. Be mindful it's not the cheapest option in the city. But worth a visit every now and again.

Looking for restaurants that open late, and found this place. Out of my expectations, the service and food are great! The restroom is also so clean. I am so thrilled with my Bun Rien Cua!

Understaffed and waited a long time to be seated and served. When we ordered, waiter asked us to change the order as it would take a long time for them to prepared and served and this was 2pm on a Saturday. We changed to Pho and the portion was small and it was alright. Nothing remarkable.
