Continues to deliver excellent service and one of the best resteraunts in the area. Would love for some level of background music to be playing as the patio gets awkward if everyone becomes silent.
The food it outstanding and service is always wonderful
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Dallas. It never disappoints. The food is remarkable and delicious. But equally stellar is the service. Gracious, friendly and attentive.
The food is always good - always exceeding my imagination! Staff are prompt, helpful and very friendly. Imperial Rolls are a great way to start a meal; the foie gras dumplings w/ kimchi is fabulous - as well as the pork short rib!
Excellent and well-thought out wine list - great by the glass selection of French and Italian.
Even in a snow storm that shut down the whole city of Dallas, Mot Hai Ba delivered an amazing meal!
the tuna & cucumber starter was amazing.
the beef pho type special was perfect for a cozy chilly night.
Always a pleasure w Trudy and so nice to meet the bartender Madeleine!
Amazing food and the service was great. Impressed with the wine list as well.
Dinner was amazing, our waitress was incredible and had the best recommendations. We will be back!
Excellent service. One of the most knowledgeable sommeliers and exotic tastes and experiences
Wow this was such an amazing meal! Such Ana amazing value for the best meal I have had in a long time! Our waitress was so sweet and amazing and the food was just unreal. This was my first time but I will come back soon for sure!
My favorite restaurant in Dallas. Love everything about it. Food is amazing!
Every shared plate we ordered was delicious and beautifully prepared. Hats off for the amazing foie gras dumplings with pears and topped with waygu ribeye!
The shrimp and pork imperial rolls starter and the shaking beef with garlic noodles entree are our go to dishes.....think manna from heaven....
Wine list and curated cocktails are top shelf. The waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable of the menu and its ingredients and flavor profiles. Everyone works together like a fine Swiss watch.

Friends in from Houston. Michelle was great. Loved everything.
Unbelievable restaurant.
Delicious food, exceptional service! We will go back!
Bangin’. Need I say more? Apparently I do in order to submit this review.
Fantastic food, service, atmosphere, and best of all, cocktails. Best gin in town crafted perfectly each time. The pear dessert as well was perfect.
Solid meal, excellent flavors. Super Legit! We’ll be back soon!
Absolutely amazing. I am a recurring costumer and yesterday’s meal was the best one yet!!! Thank you!
Asian fusion in a very modern way. You can definitely recognize Asian flavors but still the food will be served in a very unexpected way.
It is definitely an experience for foodies and it seems like a good place for a date.
Btw my 4 year old daughter loved the garlic noodles. She ate the bowl in 5 min.
Wonderful food and service!
The experience was incredible from beginning to end. Not going to lie! Great service! Every bite was full of flavor! You can tell the Chefs are obviously very talented!
Simply the most delicious food. Nothing is bad here. The flavors are insane. If you enjoy great food that’s thoughtfully prepared — you can’t go wrong here. The vibe is amazing too.
Great time was had by all!
Hands down our favorite date night in Dallas. Do not skip the tiramisu and you should order whatever new dish they have on rotation, it will be delicious. Salem is our favorite waitress-- she is fantastic!
Hidden gem of East Dallas!
Service was good and the food was outstanding! Quality ingredients that were creatively plated and delicious.
Always superb from beginning to end!
Perfect night outside!
I have always enjoyed my experiences at Mot Hai Ba, and this last visit was no different. The food was exceptional. The dumpling special was one of the best dishes I've eaten in Dallas in a long time. I'm glad this isn't on the menu permanently, I'd go broke eating it every day. Our server and sommelier were both very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations throughout the evening. If you're reading this and trying to decide if you should eat at Mot Hai Ba, GO!
The most amazing food and service!!!!!
Love this place—great time!!
The food was outstanding and the service was very good.
Mot Hai Ba has always been one of our favs. First time back since the covid:/...called to get a reservation outside and food, drinks, service was all first class, as always!!
This was for my anniversary. Food was outstanding and priced well for the quality. Had the bao buns and fried avacado salad to start and the were both very good. Especially the dressing on the salad. Dinner was the curry chicken which was also very good. I make it a point to not get chicken at nice restaurants but my wife was done with red meat. And when a chicken dish is done well at a nice restaurant it’s usually amazing and this was. Highly recommend. The garlic noodles were exactly what you would thing and they were very good. My wine was good and my wife’s cocktail was very good and unique. I gave one star off on service because our server broke my biggest rule and didn’t tell us what they were out of until we ordered and of course it’s what we wanted. I never excuse that. Also she forgot our garlic noodles and brought them after we were done with the dinner. Have one star off for ambience because I think of every place as if I owned it. We sat outside and there was a dead plant in the corner and a broken cinder block next to our table. Things easy to correct but overlooked. Just saying. If I owned a restaurant I would want to know what I was missing. Overall great dining experience. Server was super nice and knew the menu. Would definitely go back
Mot Hai Ba, as always, did not disappoint. The hen and hive cocktail was a great balance of sweet and spicy. And we placed an extra order of garlic noodles to go to enjoy the next day. Dreaming of my next meal.
