    Our waitress, Mercedes, was awesome! Also, the manager, Judson, was very kind, when our time limit for our table was up, he was so gracious in providing us with cozy blankets so that we could sit outside on the patio. I absolutely loved everything about our experience!

    Once again, we had an incredible meal at Sister. Briana took great care of us and pointed out some of the newer items on the menu. We tried two of them (grilled mushrooms and the pepperoni cavatelli) and they were both delicious. And the crusted red fish was cooked to perfection. We love this restaurant. Since moving here from Chicago (foodie town), we’ve found that Sister always makes us feel that we still have access to amazing restaurants right here in Dallas.

    4th time at Mot Hai Ba. My favorite Dallas restaurant. Fresh and savory flavors with the mix of Vietnamese and European cuisines. Some dishes can be spicy/hot. Shaking beef and garlic noodles are a must. Also recommend Kimchi and Gruyère Fritters, Kim Chi Foie Gras Dumplings. Very cozy ambience — it was a 1 story house converted into a restaurant — can feel a bit cramped. It’s part of the charm and intimacy. Mostly 2-4 tops. There’s one 6-top. Parking can be tricky.
