    I tried 399 Vietnamese Kitchen during Orange County Restaurant Week and ordered from their $25 OC Week lunch menu, which was such a good deal for the amount of food you get. For my order, I got the combination pho, which came with their Rocket Ship appetizer, and the portion was super satisfying. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the appetizer was a fun, crispy start to the meal. I also tried the vermicelli with chicken and pork, which came with an eggroll appetizer. The meats were nicely grilled and paired perfectly with the fresh vermicelli and veggies. Another dish we had was the chicken and rice plate, which came with tofu eggrolls on the side. Everything felt like a full meal on its own, and the lunch menu made it easy to try multiple dishes. If you go for dinner, they also have a $55 menu for two people where you can choose two entrées, one appetizer, and one drink, or two appetizers, one entrée, and one drink, which is another great option if you're sharing. Overall, it's a great spot if you want classic Vietnamese dishes with generous portions, and the Restaurant Week menus make it even more worth trying.

    My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in OC!! The meats were so flavorful and juicy and perfectly complimented the vermicelli sheets! Would recommend ordering those if you're looking for a switch up from your regular vermicelli noodles- I liked the texture it added. Portions of everything are huge, and the amount of veggies makes the meal feel very fresh and healthy. Tried the eggrolls too and they were a highlight- loved the light flaky exterior and how packed the inside filling was. The interior is spacious and well-decorated, could see it being a nice spot for a special occasion but also for a casual bite! Will be back to try all the other menu items- I wanted everything here

    If you've been following me here on Yelp, you know I take pride in giving you my honest-to-goodness assessment--not just on the food, service, and ambiance, but also on something we all care about: parking. So let's start there. PARKING To my fellow high-heel lovers, be prepared to walk a bit from your parking spot to the restaurant. That said, there's plenty of parking, and I absolutely love that we don't have to deal with a cramped structure or pay $10 just to leave our car. Big win! SERVICE Excellent. The woman who assisted me was incredibly kind and informative. She walked me through items I wasn't familiar with, and when I asked for extra peanut sauce, it was no problem at all. FOOD Since it was my first time here, I went for their Brodard Spring Rolls. Each order comes with two large rolls packed with steamed shrimp, pork, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, mint, chives, and cucumber--wrapped in delicate rice paper. I love rice paper! If you've never had it and you're watching your weight, trust me, you NEED to try it. AMBIANCE It feels cozy--modern yet warm and inviting. The space is large and can easily accommodate over 50 guests. Perfect for foodie meetups! There are even outdoor tables where you can enjoy the beautiful California sunshine and the calming sound of the big water fountain at the entrance.

    Grilled pork bahn mi

    We read about 399 and wanted to give it a try. Craving a goof Bahn Mi, I ordered the grilled pork version. It was really tasty with a bit of kick. We also ordered the fried tofu and egg roll vermicelli which was also very good. Could have used a bit more sauce but very good. I ordered the iced Vietnamese iced coffee which was strong but sweet. The only downside was the homeless guy sitting on the wall right outside the window staring at us the entire time. Awkward. But overall, it was good and we'll certainly be back k when in the area.

    Stopped by 399 Vietnamese Kitchen to check out their Orange County Restaurant Week menu and it did not disappoint. We ordered a few items to share and everything came out fresh and well prepared. The chả giò (egg rolls) were crispy and a great starter, and the bánh bột lọc tapioca dumplings had a really nice texture. For mains, the bún chả Hà Nội was one of our favorites with flavorful grilled pork and fresh herbs. Portions were generous and the menu made it easy to try a mix of classic Vietnamese dishes. Overall a great spot if you're craving authentic Vietnamese flavors in OC. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Hair?
    YI Y.

    Today I order the beef brisket pho. There's hair inside? And no taste for the soup, no bean sprouts, no green peppers, no lemon. It usually comes as a bag of veggies but nothing for this time, and there's hair inside the pho , and I can't eat anything. I don't believe this worth $17. Worst experiences ever

    This is a one and done for me. I had the pork Banh Mi sandwich and two egg rolls. The pork in the Banh Mi was lacking in flavor and was over priced. The egg rolls were tiny and didn't look like Vietnamese egg rolls I've had at other places and friends houses. I can get double the food for the same price at THH. Their food also has more flavor. The service her was a little slow too.

    This is a hidden gem !!! One of the best beef belly pho I have had in Irvine!! The ice tea was just perfect !!!!!! & the rocket shrimp wow I can eat 10000 of them they were so crunchy and flavorful!!!!! I will definitely be back for more

    Total bill.  Expensive and we didn't order drinks.

    Was looking for ramen but ended up at Tustin Market Place and decided to come for Pho. The food was surprisingly good. The loaded fries was not traditional but the combination of grilled pork, veggies french fries and sauce was delicious and a good idea. I would have it again. My daughter had the wok fried noodle add grilled pork $22 (pricy in my opinion) but she gave it a 9/10. I had the grilled pork vermicelli noodle $18 it was 8/10 good. My other daughter had the meat ball pho $18. I tried the pho broth and it was good. Our total bill with tip is $91.88, no drinks for 4 people. That is pricy. The restaurant was clean and staff offered good service. I would recommend and come here again just expect to pay more than other restaurants.

    We visited around noon for lunch, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Despite that, the service was extremely slow. it took about 20 minutes to receive our food, and we had only ordered one bowl each. The staff, though young and somewhat attentive, moved at a very relaxed pace. The pho was just okay, and each bowl cost $20, which felt pricey, though understandable given the location. The ambience was pleasant and spacious, but overall, I don't think I'll be returning.

    pork chops

    you could tell fake reviews from real ones. the dead giveaway is when they have only 1 review or they give 1 and 5 star reviews and rarely give 2,3,4 stars. however, most people don't read reviews and only look at the star rating. businesses have figured out how to game the reviews to attack their competition. i'm here because my cat is at the vet. got lucky as happy hour starts at 2pm decor is very nice, restrooms smell like candy...probably from the soap they use. very clean. normally the pork chops are 20 but during happy hour it's 16 and i have a soft spot for vietnamese pork chops. the water carafe is stylish but you have to pour slowly or u will make a mess. the food took a while so the server came by and offered me a free drink. places that are 3.5 stars don't offer free stuff when you are inconvenienced so imho, the true rating of this place should be higher and this is great service. at other places, vietnamese pork chops probably would have cost 17 but don't forget we are in irvine and the landlord is a greedy mofo and collects high rent so 20 for non-happy hour pricing is probably fair. however during happy hour at 16 is pretty good. all in all, i had a very good experience and will return

    This place is just okay. Food is alright, but not particularly consistent or flavorful. Food presentation is pretty good. Menu could use better descriptions and needs pictures. Prices are too high for what you receive. Ambiance is kind of industrial.

    Oily oily garlic noodles that cost us $32
    Anh-Thu P.

    I was really, really excited to try this restaurant after seeing the menu and spotting a few home comfort food dishes that aren't typical of other Vietnamese restaurants, plus some unique dishes. However, our first, and only experience with this establishment turned out to be a total let-down. First off we ordered two lychee green teas, nem nuong cuon (pork spring rolls), and the nui xao bo luc lac (filet mignon stir fry rice macaroni) to share. The tea and spring rolls were great, no complaints there, but then our main dish came out and it wasn't what we ordered. When questioning the staff multiple times about the incorrect order, they informed us that this is what we confirmed with them (they heard "mi xao" and not "nui xao") and there was nothing more they could do for us. Okay, I will accept that I should've properly confirmed the order instead of assuming they heard me correctly. I am Vietnamese American, I grew up eating at restaurants that don't exactly provide good service but still good food. So let's just forget about all that for a second and talk about the dish that did come out. We received the mi xao bo luc lac, which is filet mignon with garlic noodles. The "garlic" noodles were completely flavorless, not a hint of garlic or even butter anywhere on them. The texture was both mushy (overcooked) and crispy (fried) at the same time, and it was absolutely drenched in oil. The large cubes of filet mignon were inconsistent. Some pieces were more tender, but most pieces were rubbery, tough, and extremely hard to chew. This was one of the worst restaurant meals we've ever eaten, and to top it all off, this rubbery, flavorless, oily dish cost us THIRTY! TWO! DOLLARS!!! And we didn't even order it!!! I had such high hopes for this restaurant. I was excited about a restaurant serving nui xao, a comfort food dish I grew up eating at home. I knew it would be expensive, but we like patronizing small businesses, and I expected good quality at the price point. We got one of the most expensive items on the menu, and it was pure slop. With many dishes between $25-$35, this place is a rip-off, nothing more. We will be patronizing elsewhere with businesses that not only have edible food at fair prices, but also provide us warm and friendly service.

I paid $2.85 extra for each Padina. I called in and asked if they could make sure that they use the grilled chicken instead of the deli meat. This has never been an issue in two years. The woman I spoke with, I think her name was VEE, made it a cumbersome process to try to charge me another $5 for the grilled chicken. While I understand this chicken is more expensive and I have paid the additional fee in the past, she made the process very cumbersome, all while dealing with a crying baby. I might've spent $1000 here over the years, and I told her that this might be my last time ordering given this experience. Her exact comments back was, "OK no worries." So in the future, I'll never order again and you've lost me as a customer. Congrats. You made $5 more. And lost hundreds in the process.
