Food is good and place is clean. The server impolite and patient. Will return.

Came here because Pho 2000 was closed. Great service, but the soup or whatever is in the pho had a fishy aftertaste that continues to make me lose my appetite whenever I crave pho.

I used to go to Pho 2000 right down the street but after discovering this gem, I’m never going to pho2000 again! The pho is better! The broth is better! The noodles are better! The service and the restaurant all over is a 10 out of 10!! I’m an original Frisco foodie(i grew up here) and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

I was craving a bowl of Pho Ga and wanted a place to dine in, so Larkin Restaurant was perfect. There's ample seating, and plenty of people were dining in on a weekday around lunch. The waiter was incredibly kind, and my food was out within 10 minutes. It was some of the best chicken broth I've had! The restaurant is also very clean and perfect for solo dining. One thing to note is that they accept credit cards (unlike some Vietnamese restaurants in the area) but not American Express.

Located in the tenderloin, I’m on a journey to find the best chicken pho. This spot’s broth got me nodding my head.The vibe was specious and the service was quick. Hoping more people would try this place out.This place was a yummy hole in the wall, I ordered the chicken pho for only $13.50. Chopped it up with the owner and got to hear more about their spot. They opened up a little before the pandemic and it’s been tough for them, but they’re still here! If they could keep one item on their menu, it would be the Combo Pho (Dac Biet). The resilience of tenderloin and the merchants working there is deep. Come support local businesses and taste good food at a more than affordable price. Check ‘em out!

I came to this restaurant based off of the reviews very excited to try their Vietnamese iced coffee, an experience that I very much enjoy but can’t find at sit in coffee shops. The man who greeted me in the empty space asked just one and I said yes I’m going to just grab an iced coffee. He proceeded to tell me “Just a coffee? This is a restaurant not a coffee shop” and directed me to leave if I wasn’t buying more. An experience I was very excited about turned very sour being asked to leave as a paying customer regardless of how much I bought. I am a black person with locs and I can’t help to think that if I didn’t look like this he would have let it slide. I never write reviews ever but I’ve never been treated like that before as a paying customer.

I love their Banh Xeo. It was very large and they gave two large prawns in the crepe. It was so good! Also came with a large plate of vegetable. Price is very affordable. We have been back ever since cuz the service is very nice too.

Pho broth was a little bland otherwise would give it 5 stars. Pho dac biet portion size was good and very generous with the ingredients. Lots of tripe! Quick service in a pleasant atmosphere.

Just had the pho and shrimp pancake at this spot, and it blew my mind – it's like Saigon on a plate! The ingredients are super fresh, the broth is delicious, and the beef is incredibly flavorful. Plus, they use whole, unfrozen shrimp. The only downside is that the location...skechy & not safe for parking... Really hope this place sticks around!
