"Ngon Vietnamese’s patio opens onto the sidewalk of Lower Greenville, East Dallas’s famous stretch of bars and restaurants, so you can sit back and watch the nightlife blur by while downing $8 Happy Hour wings. Ultra-crispy but tender under the skin, and splashed with Ngon’s house nước chấm sauce, these wings could be a soul-soothing meal all on their own. But you should branch out. Fried rice gets big bolts of crab and torn eggs, while the spring rolls come with bright ginger- or pineapple-spiked fish sauce dips. The bun bo hue—a giant jacuzzi of noodles and so-tender-it-melts beef in a glossy, spicy broth—is essential, and the cocktails match all the fire and spice. Get the Song Hong, a cranberry martini served in a glass rimmed with Tajin." - rosin saez, nick rallo, kevin gray, kevin gray, kevin gray, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, rosin saez, nick rallo, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo, rosin saez, nick rallo
"Soups with rich broth and delicious noodles, shaking tofu rice, rice paper rolls, Vietnamese coffee, and sangria with a kick of Hennessy — these are a few delights waiting in Nong Vietnamese Kitchen on Lowest Greenville, which is now one of the city’s Michelin-recognized restaurants. Owner Carol Nguyen named the place for her mother, introducing many Dallasites to the best of Vietnam with no-frills dishes that are big on flavor and served in a dining room with just a bit of an industrial vibe. If you drive: Greenville Avenue can be a parking challenge, and most available lots are tucked off the main street. Ngon has a small parking lot on the street, but if you can’t find a spot or the closest lots are full, just keep looking. Street parking here is heavily restricted." - Courtney E. Smith
"A women-owned Lower Greenville spot where owner Carol Nguyen draws on family recipes to serve Hanoi street-food favorites like phở, bun bo xào, and crab fried rice; the restaurant’s name honors the owner’s mother and also means "delicious" in Vietnamese." - AFAR
