Dong Que Restaurant

One of my favorite Viet restaurants that serve fried fish. It was large enough to feed a whole group of us. We ate family style so we ordered a variety of dishes but hands down my favorite was the fried fish. We came specifically for the fried fish cause it's actually grilled then fried which gives it an extra oomph! The fish is served with a scallion oil and fried onions which is the cherry on top especially if you decide to make some spring rolls with the fish. It's chefs kiss. Nothing could be better. I highly recommend the fried fish, Bo la lot, the winter melon drink. Honestly, you're not gonna go wrong ordering anything here. Can't wait to come back.

Parking: Plenty of open parking spaces since it's located in a strip mall. Interior: Clean. Plenty of seating. Service: It wasn't busy when I went, so service was fast. Food: Dumplings with chili sauce was good. I wish the dumplings were separate from the chili sauce so you can dip it. But instead, everything was already mixed together. The beef porridge was excellent! Very flavorful! I felt the comfort of the soup in every bite!Drinks: I only ordered water lol Overall: I would definitely come back and try other items on their menu! 2 thumbs up from me! :)

Came here twice with my family. It's pretty good but a bit more priced. Some dishes very good, some okay. Found some dishes that accompany drinking. The thit nuong has very good flavors and tender. The beef la lot is good out of the 7 beef. The meatball was pretty dry one visit. The fried rice is okay, a bit on the bland side. Overall we would come back though. Maybe try their baked catfish. The price of their catfish clay pot fish and sweet and sour soup is a bit expensive though.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have visited in DFW! This place is perfect if you want to do family style. The portion sizes are very huge and the food is very authentic. We ordered their fried fish (large) and it fed 7 people and filled us up! The service was amazing. I would definitely come back again to try other menu items!

Dong Que is a fantastic restaurant for Vietnamese food. My Vietnamese mom is picky about authentic Vietnamese food as she grew up in Vietnam for a large majority of her life. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs up from my mom! My favorite is the banh hoi this nuong. Which would feed 1 and 1/2 of a person. Things are bigger in Texas for sure. The servers were pleasant as always. I love the open spaces with decor carefully picked to show the Vietnamese aesthetic. I would come back here again.

.... AWESOME & AUTHENTIC ..... GO!!! Don't let the location area fool you. Great food and Vietnamese decor - with mini floating lamps hang from ceiling and melodic Vietnamese music. Large dining area with high-back booths along one wall (in great condition and very cushy) and lots of tables with thick cushioned chairs (also in great shape). Very clean and smells good. (Lots of Asians here at lunch - a very good sign of food quality and authenticity.)I got #R6/Lemongrass Grilled Chicken: Comes with traditional broth soup, white rice and garnish. Excellent! Very authentic. Good cook, not dry and good flavor. Just what I expected. (Personally, it would be better with 2 minutes less time on the grill to be more moist and 2x-3x more sauce... as it was, it barely covered the chicken, and nothing dripped to the plate. Was more of a skimpy drizzle.)Huge menu, lots of proteins and types of meals. Protein Options:Frog legs, squid, crab, clam, pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, lobster, fish, quail, Korean BBQ, & vegetarian. Meal Options:Soups, vermicelli, egg noodle, grilled, fried, 10 fried rice options, stir fry, hotpot and traditional house specials. FYI - the Shaking Beef is supposed to be the best in the menu but I didn't see it listed on the menu and forgot to get it!! Ugh. Next time I'm getting either the #R9/Flame-Broiled Marinated Sirloin or the #R8/Sliced Beef sautéed w/onion & Lemongrass. They look great!See my Yelp profile page for a Best In Dallas list: https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=KbFb7BxxJfHmHG3P-jY1CQ&utm_source=ishare

We ordered Bo 7 Mon and an order of baked mussels for a family of 4. We had leftovers. We probably could've done without the mussels. They were good. Unexpectedly had peanut butter taste to them - I personally don't like peanut butter, but the rest of the family liked the dish. Bo 7 Mon is beef cooked 7 ways. It came as a porridge and as a salad. Then we had sliced beef to cook in a vinegar broth. It came as a meatloaf, sausage, beef patty, and grilled beef roll along with spring roll, lettuce, and dipping sauce. It was enjoyable. Walking in; it smelled like authentic Vietnamese restaurant, and we were not disappointed. Server is very nice and spoke Vietnamese and English! I would definitely recommend double checking the bill though. We were almost overcharged!

Came here by accident, meaning to go to Dong Hai, a Chinese restaurant In the same strip mall. Two restaurants starting with "Dong" 200 ft apart, lolGood accident. Had a pork plate with 3 kinds of pork, white rice and veggie garnish and a grilled chicken w vermicelli. Both were very good. Service was friendly and prompt. Dining area was clean and attractive. Will be returning for more of their extensive menu!

Compared to all of the other Vietnamese spots in this part of Dallas' Lil Saigon (#1), I don't know if there's a more complete establishment than Dong Que. Most spots here are specialty driven, but this place has the versatility to offer a little bit of everything and do it reasonably well.Đồng Quê, loosely translated, refers to the countryside (#2) and their vast menu makes up a number of regional dishes from bun bo hue to Vietnamese style hotpot (lẩu). They're known for their 7 course beef (bò bảy món) and baked fish (cá nướng) but I've had a number of other outstanding dishes here that I really enjoyed.Their pho was really great. Fragrant and pungent, which is how I normally like it. The side of nuoc beo is clutch, especially for that extra fattiness. Bo luc lac is tasty, though I think they could always add more beef. I've had some good luck with their banh 3 vi platter, which comes decked out with fixings (thit nuong + sugar cane rolls, lettuce, etc.) and is the perfect option for sharing. Seafood lovers would do themselves a disservice if they passed on the baked mussels. I also think their banh canh (tapioca starch soup) is flavorful and their hu tieu game is on point. Even for simple com (rice) and bun (noodle) dishes, there is a lot to appreciate. And of course, their appetizers, like cha gio, goi cuon, nem cuon are all excellent starters. They are also one of the few Viet spots that will also front as a bakery, with a number of daily pastries, desserts, fried items that they'll sell out front. I haven't left here without a box of something from banh pia (Viet style mooncake) to dau phong (Viet style peanut brittle). My previous visits here with incredibly generous company, so my meals were lavishly abundant with plenty of take home items.I've been fortunate to come here without reservations and be seated relatively quickly. There are tables for all sizes, despite how tight the seating may seem for such a low ceiling, semi-narrow interior. The ambiance is super Viet and just about as local as it gets. If there was any knock, it might be the prices, which are on the higher side for restaurants like this. Speaking Vietnamese is obviously a plus, but certainly many will do just fine without it. ______________(#1) aka Garland, TX.(#2) Not to be confused with actual "country" (quốc gia) but more akin to homeland (quê hương). #TiengVietQua

I ordered rice platter with grilled pork chop and meatloaf. It's fantastic you can't go wrong with this dish. Service was quick and efficient. The environment is tranquil and customers seemed to enjoy themselves.
