    As always, our dinner at Mot Hai Ba was fabulous! We went early - 5:15 - which is our favorite time to dine out in a small (3) group. Most restaurants are less packed and thus quieter at this early time, service is generally top notch, and specials are always available. All true at Mot Hai Ba. We were pleased to find Rose' Cava available, and enjoyed that with the Squash Blossoms and the Peach & Grilled Lettuce Salad. Two diners enjoyed the Day Boat Scallops with sides of rice and Chili Bok Choy, while the other diner had Shaking Beef and Garlic Noodles. We finished our meal by sharing the chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! Not a misstep anywhere! Our waiter was attentive but did not hover, and even blessed us with an extra order of garlic noodles to take home. We will return!

    Mot Hai Ba never disappoints and always exceeds our expectations. The food is incredible, we try something new every time and are continually surprised at how delicious it is….. and the service is even better. Juliana has the best recommendations and doesn’t miss a beat. Thanks Mot Hai Ba for yet another amazing meal.

    Food was mostly good. A few dishes were not notable. Service was mildly attentive. They were very slow to seat us and forgot our amuse bouche. We were surprised by the merchant services fee that we were not told about until it was time to pay. It was actually shocking and offensive that they are charging this. We have been here many times over the years and now I am hesitant to ever go back.

    We’ve eaten here before but this time I was a bit disappointed. We were the second guests and we were a two topper. We were looking for a nice quiet dinner but we’re seated in the middle of the restaurant next to a loud four topper (there were other two toppers in the corner). The noise level was too loud between the music and the four topper yelling over the music. Food was good. Service was fair. Lots of servers but they kept passing our table even though we had empty plates needing to be cleared. Disappointed this trip.

    There were three of us for dinner. We had oysters, bao and tuna/cucumber salad for appetizers. All were very tasty. Vietnamese Chicken Curry (entree) was delicious. Halibut was also very good. Prawns and squid ink pasta was perfectly balanced, the best seafood pasta my daughter has ever tried.

    The service was excellent! Our server was one of the best in Dallas and the best at the restaurant. The food was also very nice. I miss the imperial rolls and the ice cream a lot. Not Hai Ba is best food in our area. I love ❤️ it! They also have great beverages and non alcoholic beer and drinks for the designated drivers.
