    Great food and service, I will be dreaming about the oxtail ragu with rice noodles and the homemade siracha sauce that came with the bahn bao. Definitely will be back.

    Hadn’t been been in a couple years and wow - so sad we had waited so long to come back! Every dish was fantastic and staff were all amazing! SO accommodating for us!! I’m currently needing to do a dairy free diet :( and our waiter was excellent at quickly switching out my menu for a dairy free/modifiable one. They were even able to make the infamous garlic noodles dairy free!! So so good. The foie Gras dumplings were legit 11/10 - top 3 dish… ever. Our babysitter cancelled so we ended up bringing our 3 month old along with us and hostess was so sweet to seat us at a larger table to make room for- really appreciated her since I know that’s not an easy task in such a small space! Hope to be back asap!

    We make it a point to come here every time we are in Dallas. Their food is amazing and we love their rice cake appetizer with shrimp. Their food is very creative and different than anything else and we highly recommend coming here.

    A True Gem: Mot Hai Ba Mot Hai Ba has quickly become our favorite restaurant, and it’s easy to see why. Under the leadership of Peja Krstic, the staff is both personable and attentive, making every dining experience feel special. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for any occasion. As for the food—where do I even begin? Every dish is full of flavor and spice, but balanced in a way that’s never overwhelming. Whether you’re a fan of bold flavors or just looking to explore something new, you can’t go wrong with any of Peja’s exquisite creations. The menu is diverse enough that I love mixing it up each time I visit, and each dish is consistently impressive. If you’re looking for a place where the food, service, and overall experience shine, Mot Hai Ba is an absolute must-try. Highly recommend!

    The service and the food was amazing. For drinks we had mezcal negronis and reposado old fashioneds. For the meal, we had the tuna starter, stuffed leeks, shaking beef, and garlic noodles. Every bite was delicious!! We will definitely be back!
