Saide Oppelt-Berggoetz Our first visit to this restaurant was simply wonderful. Mustafa was most attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was delicious! I had the salmon, and my husband had the falafel burger. We also had the hummus, and the babaganoush. Everything was beautifully presented, and prepared. We will definitely be back!

Erika Sanchez Great food. Good portions. The drinks were good too. I went on a Friday and this lady set up some good music and singing.

Peter Hsiao The best pho in Dallas. They are located in the same shopping plaza as one of the busiest Vietnamese grocers in DFW which is very apparent in the freshness of their ingredients. Garnishes (mint, basil, Thai basil, bean sprouts, peanuts, etc.) are all very fresh and crisp. Generous portions of meat. I’ve never had brisket in pho that was the same thickness as brisket in TX bbq. Pretty sure the meatballs are the ones made daily from the grocer next door. It’s the same 5 Vietnamese ladies working the floor every day and they are very fast and attentive. Amazing experience time and time again and fair priced. (Pictured is the vermicelli bowl with pork, shrimp and egg roll which was fantastic)

Hoang Le The food here is simply outstanding, and I can see why its so popular. The steak was juicy and delicious, while the salmon was perfectly moist and packed with flavor. The large portions are a welcome bonus! This spot has a great, family-friendly vibe, so be prepared for a crowd on weekends. Its definitely worth the wait for this food.

K The servers are amazing and cheerful. Quality of food is always on point. The atmosphere is great- I love the mom & pop feeling. It’s a family style buffet. Our favorite sides are corn and masked potatoes. The main course is all tasty! Our preference is catfish and fried chicken It’s a must if you are ever in the Garland area.

Carolyn Gara Had lunch at the Garland location today. The food was, as always, excellent but our waiter, Brandon, made our experience that much better. Really knew the menu, made sure we were happy with our selections and kept a good eye out for if we needed anything. I think a good server makes all the difference!. Thank you, Brandon!

Robert Patterson Food is amazing here. They start your meal off with the regular chips and salsa but then thenserve up this freshly made corn tortilla and its really good with butter and a pinch of salt and I hate corn tortillas. So yeah check this place out you will love it.

saleh awawdeh I walked into this Mexican restaurant just looking for a quick bite, but the fajitas had other plans. The sizzling plate came out like a small concert—smoke, aroma, and flavor all performing together. One bite and I almost forgot my own name. If happiness had a flavor, it would definitely taste like these fajitas

Highly recommended. My rating as 5 is very satisfied Taste 5/5 Speed of service 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Attentive and courteous 5/5 Temperature 5/5 Will love to revisit !

Doc Strange Sitting on the square in Downton Garland, TX, this casual barbecue restaurant serves up very good smoked meats. My group had the turkey, the ribs, and both lean and fatty brisket. All were delicious! They have delicious sides. I had the potato salad and mac and cheese, both were two full scoops (versus most places giving one scoop), and were delicious. The others also tried the corn nuggets and fried okra. Also very good!

Alicia C First time here. Chicken fried steak was awesome! Street corn was recommended and it was soooo yummy! Loved the presentation of the mash potatoes! I recommend the jalapeno bread for an appetizer with the strawberry jalapeno jelly. Blended flavors are an awesome tongue slap your brains out kind of yum!(Thats a good thing!) Now the actual service was the best Ive seen in a long time out of any place around. Very attentive with a quick visit from the manager made our first visit very pleasant.

Arnold Reyes Finally made it there to see where I rank these authentic Mexican food(mostly definitely a 10!)! I was impressed! The food was really good and fresh! Great prices as well.
