I use to always love coming here bc it reminds me of Vietnam. Especially the interior, the decor and short stools make it feel like you're sitting on the streets of Vietnam eating snacks and chilling with your friends. Service is quick. The food always hit however coming back after 2-3 years the prices have increase wayyyy up. It's kinda sad bc these goi cuon are more of a snacky type of food not really a whole meal. So 10+ dollars is a lot imo. However if I'm in the area I'll still hit it up since I just love the way it feels nostalgic and it's delicious.

Terrible, I used to love this place. But the order that I got last night gave me the worst food poisoning. And my friend found hair in her's

An vat OC, I've been here many times and keep coming back. The food is consistently good and well-balanced ,not too salty, and the rice paper is just right. Service is okay, though not especially friendly. The shop itself is small but clean and well organized. Prices are pretty standard compared to other rice paper spots. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

Food 4/5: Snacks, bite size rice paper with several different add ons. Overall, sweet, spicy, salty. Overall very good snack. Service 4/5: Great nice quick staff. Ambiance 3/5: A bit small and tiny tables. Get ready for some low bends at the knees.

I love an vat OC but I don't know why they keep making small mistakes :( I drive an hour to get this but come back home with missing item - Mắm me the soul of banh trang cuon Last time same order and came home, missing mango and veggie. Though there are some strong competitors, I still choose An Vat OC since it's my hotspot. But the same small mistakes keep happening PS: there was no one there when I pick up my order so it wasn't that packed to get it right

They have the sweet & savory cake!!
Angelica T.

We always enjoy coming here. There's always something new to try and this time we were lucky to find they had the sweet and savory cake I like so much. The label called it a BONG LAN TRUNG MUOI. we got other favorites but my husband ordered in Vietnamese so no idea what he got -- I just know it's delicious. The ambience is great, the food and drinks even more so. Always a pleasure.

An OG place for some authentic Vietnamese snacks if you're in OC! So many new places opened but I always going back to this one because of their foods Foods came out pretty fast and you also have a place to sit down

Cute shop, delicious Vietnamese snacks that you can hardly find at a normal Vietnamese restaurant/super market. Prices are reasonable, But service could be a little faster. Overall a good experience, will come back ;)

Finally got to check out this snack shop in OC! The decor is super cute and reminded me of Vietnam. They specialize in rice paper snacks with different sauces, and they also sell packaged options so you can recreate everything at home. Since it was my first visit, I was overwhelmed trying to decide what to order. We ended up getting the banh trang tron, banh trang cuon bo, cuon bo trung lac top mo, and banh trang cuong top mo cham. For drinks, we tried the house milk tea and the mango passion green tea. I loved the balance of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors with the rice paper - everything was unique and flavorful. After a while, it did start to feel a bit overwhelming with so many flavors. My favorite was the banh trang tron. The rice paper was perfectly shredded and not too chewy, plus the portion was huge for the price! I'd order that again. If you're craving a little taste of Vietnam in OC, check out A Vat!

Did you guys forget to put the salt in? so bland and so wet, a lot of water. No flavor. It's like rice paper soaks w water and mix with roasted onions. Dislike

All green onion wrap in rice paper...
Tram T.

I would only give 2 stars for nice and clean packaging, and top mo We ordered 7 boxes yesterday of their new item Bánh Tráng Cuốn lòng đào $15.73 with added tóp mỡ $1.5. Bills came out as $16/order. All I can say is it was not worth it, Sauce is meh, and their roll is all green onion with thin slides of quail eggs. Was super chewy , and all we tasted was just green onion and super chewy rice paper... It was so mediocre that we felt like it was a scam. SAVE YOUR MONEY, May be other reviews here are for different items. But to us this is so not worth our trip to get banh trang cuon from them.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

Welcome to Day 2 of OC Food Journals, where I try a new place every day so you don't have to…read more Today's stop was Loi's Kitchen, and honestly, this review is a little overdue. I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

I'm not sure if this location makes it differently, but the portions seemed much smaller. It still has that same signature chive and dipping sauce. Presentation was nice, taste is always good, but I couldn't get over the portion size. As for other items, we got to try the beef broth pho which was safe for my daughter to eat who has a gluten, soy, sesame allergy. According to the waiter, the rice noodles that are usually safe are cooked in the same water as the other non allergen friendly noodles. So we just ordered a side of rice instead. Shoutout to our server who was kind enough to help us. He went above and beyond. If we're ever in the area and needed a place for my daughter to eat on a whim, I've booked marked this spot for future reference. I probably need to try something else on the menu but the spring roll just didn't do it for me this time around. Nonetheless, the flavor was there and service was incredible.

I understand that restaurants need time to close and prepare for the end of the night, but if the kitchen stops accepting guests before 10:00 PM, that should be clearly communicated in the posted hours. It was disappointing to arrive expecting to dine based on the advertised hours, only to be refused service 25 minutes before closing. Better communication about the last seating or kitchen closing time would have helped us avoid the wasted trip. A restaurant's posted hours should accurately reflect when guests can expect to be served.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

FOOD: 5 Stars We ordered the Bánh Xèo and Pork Shank #6 and #7. The Bánh Xèo was absolutely delicious! Crispy, savory, and packed with flavor, with just a hint of coconut and turmeric. It comes loaded with shrimp, squid, and bean sprouts. Then comes the fun part: wrap it in rice paper with fresh herbs like mint, lettuce, Thai basil, and other greens. Add a little dipping sauce and--BOOM!--you've got yourself one seriously delicious roll. The pork shank was another winner! You can also wrap the tender pork in rice paper with fresh herbs and dip it into the fish sauce. Messy? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely! Both dishes were scrumptiously delicious, and honestly, I have zero complaints about the food. ‍ SERVICE: 3 Stars Here's where the experience could use a little seasoning. Some of the staff can come across as unfriendly at times, and unfortunately, it can sometimes feel a bit rude. A little more warmth and friendliness would definitely make the dining experience even better. The restaurant can also get quite noisy, but that's understandable--it's a busy and popular spot! If you're looking for a quiet, romantic lunch or dinner where you can whisper sweet nothings across the table... this might not be the place. Also, be prepared to wait about 20-30 minutes for a table on weekends. It's popular for a reason! Also parking lots can be a crazy on the weekends. FINAL THOUGHTS Food: 5 Service: 3 Overall: 4 I'll definitely continue coming back because the food is that good! The service could definitely improve, but when the food is this delicious, it's hard to stay away. So grab your sister, family, or foodie friends, bring your appetite, and get ready to roll... literally! Happy eating!
