DO. NOT. EAT. HERE.As a fellow Asian-American, I strongly recommend you avoid this establishment if possible. Do not waste a second or dollar with this place.First off, this place is horrendous and filthy. The interior is crusty, the tables haven't been cleaned off, and the floors were sticky. I believe I may have seen a cockroach on the floor as well.Secondly, the service here is horrible and practically non-existent. There was a short, older Vietnamese lady who was our server that night (not sure if she's the owner?). To be blunt, she was extremely rude and did not accommodate to our one request. We had requested for a plate of lettuce on the side with our bun rieu. Much to our surprise and disappointment, this request was deemed to be unreasonable to our server. She told us that lettuce was only offered with specific dishes, and we would need to order "said" dishes if we wanted a side of lettuce. My dish contained lettuce, so they did have a supply of this in the back but they were too cheap to give it out. We didn't mind paying extra for it, but the server was set on not giving us any.Once the food had arrived, we did not see the server until the bill came. No refills were provided, and she did not bother to check in to see if we needed anything else. There is a section on the menu that states that a party of 6+ is automatically charged an 18% tip on the bill. However, I am unable to comprehend this charge given that the server did the absolute bare minimum and a terrible job.Lastly, there is an additional 4% fee that is added to the bill if you pay with a credit card. There is nothing that will indicate this charge on the menu or outside of the restaurant. So this definitely caught us off guard. We definitely felt like we got scammed after leaving this establishment!TL;DR - This restaurant is very below average, and I don't understand how this place has 4 stars on Google and Yelp. This restaurant is disgusting/dirty, service is horrendous, food was mid, automatic 18% tip is not deserved, and an additional 4% fee if you use a credit card (which I've never seen at a restaurant before). As I mentioned in the first paragraph, please do not waste your time and money here!

I had fried rice, the rice was hard and not much taste. Wouldn't go back. Server never came back to ask if we need anything or refill our hot/cold water.

Wings, bun rieu, banh beo, 2 yogurts, 2 coconut jellies $60? $70? $80 even??? No. $110! Please please beware of these people when they ring you up. Ask for an itemized receipt please! Their food was amazing but I’m not about to get scammed again. Drove half an hour from FW on a Wednesday night. A friend has been recommending this spot for awhile about their wings. Wings weren’t bad at all. Takes half an hour to prepare as they warn you. We never received our hot teas. I asked them not to charge me for it. The lady said “oh no no, I won’t” …..only for her to scam me anyways somehow. I suppose I’m a wuss for writing this review instead of confronting her and demanding an itemized receipt versus this credit card slip. $130 after tip. I will come back JUST to see if they dare to scam me AGAIN. (And for the food of course ) please be careful guys! Also fair warning there is a 4% up charge for credit card transactions. Even with that, it should NOT have been $110!

The server is extremely rude. He thinks he is above customers. He is just a human, like anyone of us. Do not go to this trashy

Second time we have eaten here and it's fantastic in every way. The food is fresh, a very diverse menu, and the owners are always super friendly. These folks are as nice as the lady at Vietalia isn't, which used to (past tense) be our go-to place for Vietnamese. Not only is the food here better, but they are over-the-top friendly. Do yourself a favor and come check them out!

Came here to eat mi quang today. Notice everytime i came here to eat the food my stomach end up with a diahera. Guessing the food here is not clean. Not only that just wanted to let people here know that this place is very illegal and not trying to get away with tax.Taking only cash. No credit card approval. Even though there a sign that has credit card. Everytime i pay with my credit card i keep getting harass from the owner. Making me borrow friend for cash to pay with cash. It such an embrassment. Hope the owner can change that perspective. We live in america. Everybody pay tax
