    The server knew the menu so well. He helped pair dishes based on our preferences and even directed us based onto portion sizes to make sure we had the best experience possible. The flavors and the cook on everything was spot on.

    Everything is always amazing every time I go here. Favorite restaurant in Dallas. We went on Wine Wednesday which is 20% off bottles of wine. I do wish they would also do a promotion for just glasses of wine, not only bottles. The food was exceptional as always. We got the oysters, bahn bao, tuna stracciatella, and wagyu short rib. The bahn bao is a must order, and try their homemade sriracha with it (sooo good). I could skip the tuna next time. It was oddly room temp. I wish it was colder. The flavor was good, but there are better items on the menu. The short rib falls apart it is so tender and good. I suggest having a few all stars (order everytime) and then at least one new item each time you go. I find something new and it is always amazing.

    A great little spot with excellent attention to detail and bold flavors! I was sad to see that they were out of some of their menu items that I had come to try, but this also speaks to the restaurant’s popularity.

    My advice is to order as many appetizers and sides on your first time (whatever you do don't miss out on garlic noodles) Kudos to the Chef - all menu items, different as they seem, are very complimentary to each other. Also, best bet is to Uber as parking is limited.

    The space was/is beautiful, and the food, drinks, and atmosphere were all simply amazing. My partner and I just got married the day before we had our dinner reservation at Mot Hai Ba, and they were kind/generous enough to give us a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our special life event. And every single employee we saw in passing and/or walked told us congratulations. So, by the way we left, it felt like the entire staff there knew we had just gotten married, and the congratulations kept going all the way until we were walking out the door. So nice and so thoughtful. Plus, just to reiterate, the food was INCREDIBLE. Will definitely go back again and again. Love, love, love this place.

    Super creative food, excellent staff, intriguing and well-paires wine list. Best neighborhood gem in Dallas that we freely share those not fortunate enough to live in Lakewood, Dallas or even Texas. Great service as well
