    Food was the star but you could tell the kitchen and service side were not working well together on the night we were in. We were seated near the kitchen and could hear all of the “drama” unfold. I definitely think this place has potential and with a little work will be excellent but definitely going through some growing pains.

    Rarely does a restaurant exceed our expectations. Mot Hai Ba did just that. Service was stellar, with each staff person contributing to a great experience. The food delighted us - such unique, thoughtful flavor combinations. Dallas is very lucky to have Chef Peja and his team in Old East Dallas.

    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
