Went for the weekend and was by far the best food we ate! It's a bit on the pricy side but worth it in the quality, service and portion sizes of the food. All of us were blown away by how yummy it was!!

We are staying the weekend in Palacios and looked for something new to try. Trans’s Restaurant was excellent. The young man who waited on us was very helpful in recommending items off the menu. The food was fresh and delicious.

This is our usual stop when we are traveling through Palacios. The food is always superior and the service is excellent. This time around, I had asked for some chili oil for my dish, what I was given, was the best chili oil I have had in my life. When I asked what brand it was, I was informed that it was made in house. I have always had to settle for chili oil of lesser quality but now I think I have found the perfect one. If you ever start selling it by the jar, consider me your first buyer.

Authentic Vietnamese made to order dishes. Moo Goo Gai Pan was perfectly prepared & delicious. The banana cream pie encased in Nilla cookie wafers is off the planet!

Aug 2 2025 Today everything was pretty decent EXCEPT for the beef tips and grilled vegetables it had a very nasty sweat taste to it and the vegetables were super burnt and very very bad tasting, we passed it around the table and everybody agreed.... -‐------------ Really good grub i liked it all the pho was the best Update 3/13/25 THE CTAWFISH ARE SO SUPER DELICIOUS! I LOVE THE BIG SHABAM FLAVOR. Everything is good and there price for crawfish may seem high priced but these are so great, I love crawfish and eat them everywhere i can. So when I say these are good they ARE! The rest of the food is good also

Great service, good menu of seafood and Asian items. Daily specials shine! Fried Catfish and Onion Rings were perfect!

Y’all, I am not a local. I was working nearby and was looking for some place to eat before I hit the road for the hour plus drive home. I ordered egg rolls and the salt and pepper calamari. Wow. 🤯 The best Calamari I’ve ever had stateside. EVER. So tender, not over-fried or tough. And the lemon dipping sauce with it made me want to lose my manners and drink it straight outta the serving dish. The egg rolls were crispy and just the right balance of wrapper to filling. Eat here! And tell them I sent ya. - Dayna.

We came to Palacios for the weekend and stopped here for dinner. Facility was nice and clean, servers were kind and attentive. Food was very delicious and we were fully satisfied. For a family of four and for two appetizers, the bill was in the $70+ range but worth it for the quality and portion size. Will come back for sure!

I usually get the TSO chicken or the Mongolian beef and, always get the spring rolls. But I've ventured into their deeper menu on occasion. All you really need to do is go to a Chinese buffet, and then go to Tran's next. You will never go to another buffet again! This is some of the best food in general but by far the best Asian food I've ever had. The wait staff are a bunch of great young people, most of which I assume are the Tran family. Just GO! You'll love it!

Immediate seating, clean table, EVERYTHING was homemade, fresh and tasty. And it's BYOB so we brought our own beer. Nice staff!

Wonderful service and delicious food! I have tried many items on their well rolled menu…. All excellent so far. I wish I lived closer but it’s worth the drive. Spring rolls and dipping sauce is amazing.. fresh right then…. Go, have a great meal.

After 6 months of living here I finally decided to give Trans a try. Without a long and boring story that isn't relevant, I can say that the food was a solid 5 stars. It is full of flavor and nothing less than outstanding. The staff was superb. Friendly and tentative.

Delicious food, great service, relaxed atmosphere. Owners are very friendly. Pictured is their Wonton Special, soooo delicious and large serving. Eat there regularly.

We came here on a recommendation and it was definitely not your basic Asian food. The dishes are elevated, the seafood was fresh, and the service was great. One of the owners stopped by and was having fun with us, so that made it even better. The lo mein noodles were not your average noodles and the sauce was not basic. Hubs had buffalo shrimp and noted how they tasted fresh and had a nice pop to them. Kid's dish was sweet and sour chicken and it wasn't your usual little bites and a side of sauce. These were nice chunks of chicken already in sauce. The chicken was super tender and nicely breaded. Will be looking forward to returning when we are back in the area. Def recommend the egg rolls and pork Rangoon's. They were outstanding!!

This joint indeed meet up with its high standard numbers 4.6 stars.. I can agree to that.. It’s crazy to find asian fusion restaurant in the middle of a town that is almost empty.. When I entered everyone looked up 😂😂😂 I am coming from houston and my job is in Chinatown.. So they did a great job on the foods!! service was awesome and to be greeted by a handsome staffer..

Visiting Palacios for the weekend and my first impression on driving up is that THIS is where the locals come. The interior is simply decorated and clean, with large pictures of local scenes adorning the walls. Our waiter, Gabriel, was quick to welcome us and eager with recommendations upon learning it was our first visit. The plates were presented without delay, piping hot and well seasoned, but NOT overly seasoned. The grilled shrimp were nicely charred, but not tough or rubbery. And the grilled vegetables were about as good as I've ever eaten. Great experience, great food and an excellent staff that are quick to attention, without being overbearing. We will definitely be back. Well done guys. EDIT: seeing large portions of banana pudding being delivered to tables as we were getting ready to pay the bill, we inquired about getting one to go........ only to be told that reservations for the banana pudding have to be received by 11am, because it's generally sold out by then. Note to self; call ahead for banana pudding.

Don't let the simple exterior fool you. Bright, fresh and friendly folks inside serving up tasty dishes. The general TSO chicken was the best I've eaten anywhere. Fresh eggrolls, not the frozen kind. Many other options as well for all tastes from seafood to burgers.

We have eaten here several times. The food is always fresh, tasty and well presented. In addition the people and service are some of the best we have encountered. A true family owned operation with hands on care and high standards.

This place is the best in Palacios! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Very flavorful and tastey! Egg rolls are egg-celent ;) Family owned and operated. The Trans are the most generous and welcoming people you will ever meet! Wish I could come more often! I had grilled tillapia and veggies amd shrimp last time.

I come to Palacios, Texas quite often. I recently started buying from trans. I will say their food is authentic but a little too much. I want to try certain dishes but I’m afraid the sauces over power the proteins. I ordered the chicken Mongolian and it’s was 8/10. It was over powered with curly carrots. But It was really good because I love spicy food. My husband had the combo fried rice and he was not so impressed. It seems it’s being cooked at such a fast pace they over do it. Over all I will keep trying menu item when I’m in town. Hopefully they start to take it easy on the sauces. I hope to try the pho, I read a bad review on it and I’m a little bias now.

Food is good and the staff is great. Food comes in hot and fast. The spring rolls weren't the best but the rest of my meal was excellent.
