Thuy Nguyen Cafe

This is officially my favorite Vietnamese spot…the food was very comforting and warmed me down to my core, and I suddenly felt homesick for something I’ve never known. I came with my family after my concert and ordered #28 and #11 (if I recall correctly). Being Haitian, walking in immediately reminded me of the Haitian spots I grew up eating at. So I just KNEW it would be authentic. The staff was very friendly and the two gentlemen that helped us were extremely kind. The spring rolls were juicy and fresh, and the peanut sauce was the best I’ve ever had. My mum got the beef pho (I think #2…?) and the ox tail was extremely tender and well seasoned. She didn’t like that the broth was slightly sweet but I loved it. My tomato based soup deserves its own paragraph. The broth was not acidic like I expected, but instead, very rich with a brilliant and robust muted tomato flavor. There were snails, tomatoes, green onions, tofu, and this cake type thing. I’m imagining that it was a crab and shrimp meatball . I’d never had one before and it was packed with a deep, beautiful seafood flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy and adding the fish sauce and some chili oil elevated the whole dish. There’s so many people I want to take here, we will be back!!

Nov. 2022 (4 Stars) Had a much better visit this time than the previous time. We ordered #20 - Topioca udon with crab, shrimp and fish cake, #23 - Seafood flat noodle, and #28 - Vermicelli soup with crab shrimp, tofu, tomatoes. Food is really good! Nov. 2021 (3 Stars) We were disappointed to order the spring rolls and several other dishes only to be told that they were out. It was only around 5:30 PM. What we did order was actually quite good. We got the Vermicelli Soup with Beef & Pork Patty, Vermicelli Soup with Shrimp, Tofu, & Tomatoes, and the combo fried rice. They seemed short-handed and service was delayed at times. The waiter was apologetic. I hope they can get more help. It's a good restaurant.

Food was really good. Pho was flavorful. They charge 4% service fee for credit card, so you should bring cash or they allow Zelle. The prices are kinda high, but the food is worth it.

Try Thuy Nguyen Cafe for niche and staple Vietnamese dishes you can't get at a commercial Vietnamese restaurant! Banh Beo is served more in the morning and afternoon, so try to get there as early as possible to try this steamed rice cake variation. Banh Xeo is typically a summer dish, but they sell it year-round if you ever crave it.

The food was amazing good! Had #26, #01 and #11 all was super delicious The gentleman that attended us was super nice and gave us suggestions since it was our first time here. And it’s open late that’s a plus…

BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD IN DFW IN MY OPINION. They dont have a huge menu but every dish is very special and well seasoned. Highly recommended. If you come during weekends there is free karaoke too lol
