    Grilled beef banh mi
    George R.

    Great alternative for locals. This location is primarly a bakery but it's deli offers baguette and "roll" baguette sandwiches. The rolls are similar to "tortas" and offer a more wider shape to the traditional banh mi. I actually really enjoyed the beef and i took advantage of their special to feed my coworkers. There is plenty of parking but located in a busy shopping plaza and i was able to get in and out during lunch time within 10 minutes. Compared to others the portions could use some work but the flavors, crunch, and freshness is there. If you like pate however, i believe that is extra.

    I went here today and as soon as I ordered, the crowd came in -- no lie. Non‑stop customers. I'm just glad I ordered before the rush because my food came out quick. I got the grilled pork #2 and people were literally staring at me while I ate it. My God... it was fresh, delicious, tasty, scrumptious. I want another one right now. Folks were even asking me, "Which one is that?"This place is consistently good. I drive all the way out here just for it. Highly, highly recommend!

    Waited 20 mins for a $7 bánh mì at 6 a.m. Bread was stale, meat had a sour odor, and veggies didn't seem fresh. I didn't eat it. Please be careful.

    Chicken banh mi on a baguette

    We were in Westminster, craving a quick Banh Mi, and a friend recommended this spot--glad they did! The baguette Banh Mi was the perfect size to share, and at just $6.50 (with a buy 2, get 1 free deal on French rolls), it's an incredible value. No wonder it was so busy! We went with the chicken, which came minced with just the right amount of veggies and a flavorful sauce. Heads up: the jalapeños pack serious heat! I had to pull most of mine out--and I usually handle moderate spice just fine. The inside is nothing fancy, but there's seating if you need it. I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area, though with so many great spots nearby, I'd probably want to try somewhere new next time too.

    Prices are decent and they also have the buy 2 sandwiches get 1 free deal. Sandwiches are nicely packaged, sealed with a sticker and labeled. Bread is crunchy yet soft. Tried the deli cold banh mi. It was great with generous amounts of pate which I love. All the ingredients combined perfectly for a perfect sandwich. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were excellent. The dipping sauce complimented the soft rice paper with the perfect proportions of filling. Very satisfying. Don't keep the spring rolls in the fridge or they will harden. Make sure to eat them the same day for freshness. Vietnamese coffee is perfect and hits the spot. Great dessert options and variety of sandwiches on the menu. Overall great spot for your banh mi needs!

    Decent banh mi. I think it might've been my first time seeing round baguettes but it was buy 2 get 1 free. It was hot inside during a summer day, as they didn't turn on AC- poor workers were sweatin in there ! Took a bit for them to make it but I think there was only two people working. Located next to the super market in a large plaza with plenty of parking.

    Bo nem nuong (grilled beef baguette). Sorry I already started eating it before I remembered to take the picture)
    Amy N.

    My family really likes the Banh Mi Saigon on Brookhurst street. We thought that all Banh Mi Saigon locations were the same, so we came here and were very disappointed. We ordered two grilled beef baguettes (bò nem nướng). Unfortunately, the meat was very dry and tasted of old fat and freezer burn. It could be that we ordered these at the end of the day (5pm), so the baguettes we got were old.

    Whats not to like when a foot long bahn mi is only $7.50! Fresh bread, good tasting bbq bc pork, pickled garnishes. All good!

    I had a fast service here and I loved the crunch of my sandwich. I got the belly grill pork. I was so happy with this order. I would eat it there however I'm always I. A rush. I like that this place is spacious and clean. I could easily find what I need.

    banh mi thit nuong
    Huevi L.

    Banh Mi is the perfect beach day food, so I got 3 to-go as they have always have their buy 2 get 1 free deal. The banh mi is fairly cheap given the deal (which only applies to the round bread which is a bit smaller than a baguette sandwhich). I love how they offer the round/French bread as opposed to the normal baguette because the round bread is crispy on the outside and much fluffier and softer on the inside. I oftentimes find baguettes to be chewy and dry. - banh mi thit nuong: 8.5/10. A typical banh mi thit nuong, but the round/french bread makes all the difference! It is loaded with meat and they are generous with the special mayo/butter as well. I love how they offer the veggies on the side and have plenty of those as well. - pate chaud: 6/10. Wouldn't recommend this item. Much better pate chauds at other nearby/local shops. Will definitely be back for more banh mi!

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!

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!

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

After a quick look at the menu, we knew this was someplace we would enjoy. We were in town on a Sunday evening and knew we wanted to check it out. With the two locations, we got on the Yelp waitlist knowing they were both nearby each other. (Our mistake was not getting on the waitlist earlier, so we did have a wait a good while.). We had perused other Yelper reviews and had a list in mind of what we wanted. Definitely take the time to look at the menu beforehand because it is long and extensive. Right off the bat, out of razor clams! Bummer. Nonetheless, we still got a bunch of things. * Grilled King Scallop with Fish Eggs $27 - Nicely cooked. 4/5 * Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter & Peppercorn $16 - Yum! 5/5 * Mango Squid Salad $14 - This was noted in so many reviews, and it did not disappoint. We ended up getting a second order! 5/5 * Crabs & Shrimp Fried Rice $17 - I was not a fan. It was just fried rice, nothing special. It lacked seasoning and definitely needed the accompanying sauce. 3/5 * Deep Fried Smelt Fish $15 - Another winner! I haven't seen smelt fish this large before and it was so good, we got a second order. 5/5 * Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves $14 - This came in a pot with such a delicious sauce. I would have loved some noodles or something to eat all that sauce up with. 5/5 * Spicy Seasoned Grilled Shrimp $17 - This shrimp were a good size and did not disappoint. 4/5 * Escargot with Tamarind $15 - Our least favorite of the escargots we ordered. It wasn't bad, just okay. 3/5 * Complimentary dessert - I have no idea what was in this che beyond coconut cream and rice, but it was pretty good. I probably would have ordered it. Service was okay. Because they are so busy, they definitely do try to rush you out. We were still eating and someone came and brought dessert to our table. Mind you, we were literally still putting food in our mouths and I looked at the waitress perplexed. We told her we were still eating and going to order more, so she took the dessert away. There's definitely this anxiousness about the staff to turn over the tables, which I get with the long lines. But I think they could have addressed it a bit differently by simply asking instead of assuming.

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.

My Pho with Rare Steak had a flavorful broth, and the meat itself was tender. However, I felt there was a little too much ginger in the broth.

With a more balanced amount of ginger, it could be excellent. Also, the broth a bit sweet. One thing I really appreciated was that they served culantro with pho. That's definitely a plus for me, as not many pho restaurants offer culantro, and I think it adds a great touch to the dish. The staff was also friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, I enjoyed the pho and would definitely be interested in trying their other dishes next time.
