Dong Tay Restaurant - Norfolk

The pho broth is great.

I had the salt & pepper wings which were delicious. Nicely cooked and you get 8. Not bad as most places only give 5 or 6. Chow Mein stir fry noodles w/ shrimp was good. I wasn't crazy about the noodles (I'm a Yakisoba fan) but overall a good dish. My husband got the House Fried rice..it was well seasoned. The atmosphere was quiet and pretty inside. We sat where we could see downtown and people watch. I'll definitely visit again

Great food give a shot you will not be disappointed

Ordered takeout pho from them a few months back and it was pretty good, so I came by again after work to try some of their other food. Parking was a hassle as there was no lot nearby and only small street parking spaces. The restaurant was empty except for one other table on a Tuesday evening. I was seated after a few minutes (they didn't notice me waiting at the door). Facilities seem clean and new and a good location right in downtown. Food was subpar and expensive. I forgot to take a pic but for $7.99, the 2 egg rolls were small with absolutely no garnishes or a bed of lettuce to wrap in. They looked store bought and not home (or restaurant) made as how many other Vietnamese restaurants would have. Pork chops were also a let down. For $15.99, relatively small portion size and the meat was tough and salty. Veggies were haphazardly cut and the do chua (pickled carrot and radish) was slightly thick for my taste and sweet but not pickled quite enough. Probably will not visit again as the food seems not worth its high price point.

Pretty good.

Walked in for early dinner on a Monday night and was unsurprised to basically be alone in the place. The server acted very bored and was nowhere to be seen shortly after we placed our drink and appetizer order. The server also did not understand that we wanted low-sodium soy sauce for our meals and brought us regular, and then it took another five minutes to see him to ask again. The spring rolls were okay- two very long rolls that maybe should have been cut in halves. The veggies and rice was nothing more than fried green beans and some peppers and onion, and no substitutions for fried rice or noodles were allowed, so we were told we'd have to order an entirely separate entree with those items. When the pad thai arrived I started eating before realizing that this was my first experience eating it anywhere and not being asked how spicy I wanted it when ordering. Thankfully I could handle it. The server took forever to bring us our check - again, we were alone in the restaurant - and despite having my card in my hand he walked away immediately after bringing the check. I finally got up to bring my check to the front when a doordasher came to pick up, and after gathering my things noticed that the server was deep into a mobile phone game. Noted that some other reviews mentioned the server being on their phone as well. Spent nearly $70 for two people for two non-alcoholic drinks, one appetizer, and two average entrees with taxes and tip. Definitely not worth the cost and I will not be returning.

Food was great! Portions were a little less than places im used to but it was filet mignon so i can understand. Didnt see anywhere to park which is a little inconvenient if ur trying to be fast. Got the pad thai.

Our food was delicious, highly recommend the beef over vermicelli noodles
