The Alley Noodle Bar - Frisco — Restaurant in Little Elm

The Frisco/Little Elm area is lacking Vietnamese cuisine so when we saw this spot on the map, we were eager to try because the pho restaurants we’ve been to in the area have been vastly disappointing.

We’ve been to this spot twice now and did not experience any waits, probably mostly due to the time we arrived. There’s a kiosk to order from if ordering to-go which is quite convenient.

They had a variety of options for pho and a select few other dishes as well which is great. I like having options. Their naming for their dishes were quite clever so props to the owner for that. Pricing for the food is reasonable given the current market right now.

My wife kept it simple and went with the Just Pho You which is just ribeye slices in hot beef broth. I opted for the Bo Ne since there aren’t many Vietnamese restaurants that serve that here. Both were fantastic choices. The pho broth was actually seasoned well and very aromatic. Upon first sip, we knew we had found our new spot for pho. The Bo Ne was also good. They give quite a bit of extras in veggies. This typically isn’t included in Bo Ne so that was a welcome addition. The steak and sauce were well seasoned. It is hard to get Bo Ne wrong after all.

Finally, the sugar cane drink was good. The second time we had it wasn’t as good and was lacking something. However, it is nice to know this place offers sugar cane drink as it is quite popular overseas.

Our experience here was great and we will definitely be...

I was craving some pho for dinner and have ordered here before but never been to the place until now. Cute little set up! It’s small but cozy. Food overall was pretty good! We ordered the iRoll (egg rolls), Pho the luv of God (pho with rare steak and meatballs), oodles of noodles(vermicelli with pork and egg rolls), and Vietnamese coffee. We like that everything was made fresh and hot but for the purpose of the pho, I’ll give my honest opinion. The coffee was really good! Egg rolls came out hot and fresh, overall good but it was still kind of floury on the inside. The vermicelli noodles were cooked to perfection, fresh and not stiff or cold, if you know what I mean, and the combination of flavors and seasoning was good. The pho broth did not taste authentic, it was still good but, there was too much msg which made it taste salty. I hope this helps for all the pho lovers. Service was limited but still good, They were quick and efficient. Don’t just take my word for it. Everyone’s taste buds are different, I say still give this place a go! Until then,...
