The flavors are so on point. This place perfected FUSION, we had an amazing experience and the good was fantastic! The Ube horchata was PERFECT and the flavor was beyond words. 100/100. The staff was super friendly and helpful when we asked questions. Overall there aren’t enough words to express how great everything was. We’re definitely coming back 😁✨

I came for the Pho but after seeing everything they have to offer, I could hardly decide. They have some amazing combination plates but I opted for the beef ramen and im so glad I did! Deep flavors, tender beef, fresh garnishment and insanely delicious broth. I asked for hosin and sirracha sauce but didnt need either it was absolutely perfect. Even though I opted for the patio seating the interior was spacious and clean. No line at 1pm, friendly staff and my meal was delivered quickly. I LOVE the Mexican spin on old favorites. I would love to have one close to me downtown Dallas, but i will be coming back to sample a bunch of other items and will update the review soon. Shoutout to the staff who were super pleasant, checked on the patio patrons 4 different times. Incredible service, well worth the price AND the drive no matter where you are coming from. Do yourself a "flavor" and eat here, you won't be disappointed.

Food was good overall! Very busy for Sunday lunch around 1pm. Waited 30 minutes for our food. Phoburrito was definitely up to the reputation! We got short ribs with it and it was delicious. Bao and bò lá lốt skewers were good but not outstanding. Service was okay! Lychee peach tea was good too

Not my typical choice in food, but when you're visiting from out of state you don't want to eat something you can get at home. And this... you can't get at home. I was a little put off by the super long line of people waiting to get in. But once you've tasted your food you know why everyone is willing to wait. Grew up on Mexican food, but never really had Vietnamese before so I was nervous to order. I played it "safe" by ordering the carne asada bao, not knowing what bao was. Get it. It's amazing. The flavor is on point, and the verde sauce & lime squeezed on top takes it to the next level. The horchate de chocolate with the chocolate & graham covered rim, with marshmallows is like a dessert. If I didn't live 3+ hrs away, I'd make it a habit to come here weekly. Cris & John had a brilliant idea to fuse these two together. Make the trip, try it out, you'll see why the line is always long. It's worth it. Get you food to go though, the chairs are uncomfortable.

The wait was two hours! You need to know what you want before reaching the register because once you’re seated, if you decide to order another drink or item, you’ll have to get back in line. I watched a party of two get seated at a four-person table while a two-person table sat empty and just needed to be cleaned. The line stretched all the way to the business next door, yet there were several empty tables waiting to be wiped down. There was only one person cleaning, which really slowed the flow of seating. When we asked our waitress for ketchup and more napkins, it took quite a while. One staff member mentioned that service was delayed because people were going on lunch breaks. For how busy it gets, they really need better coverage. Having one or two floaters—one for the kitchen and another for the dining area—would make a big difference on days like this. This restaurant would benefit from a reservation system or table service setup. I’d visit again, but probably not until next year when the TikTok rush dies down or they improve their system. The staff was friendly, but they ask for tips at the register after a two-hour wait, and since the servers only deliver food with no added service, I don’t think tipping is necessary. The food was good and served hot, which helped make up for the long wait.
