    Mot Hai Ba has been my favorite restaurant in Dallas for the last 10 years. Its unique vibe makes every meal different. I take anyone visiting me from out of town here. Would recommend: Grilled Octopus, Grilled Duck Hearts, Hamachi Crudo, Potato Crusted Halibut, and Blackened Sea Bass

    Treated my wife to a day date. From the moment we walked in, the hostess at the host stand was welcoming and our server Jordan was outstanding with his recommendations. I had the Chicken Parm with the vodka sauce and my wife had the blackened pork chops. We both were surprised at the large portions. The ambience was very inviting. Our only negative review would be the dessert. We wanted the chocolate cake fondue to be warmer and we thought it was too rich. We couldn’t finish it. It was delicious but way too rich for us. Overall, great value, tasty menu and great service. We can’t wait to go back.
