    They have very good lẩu dê and dê hấp, good food good price, service is fast and friendly. I will definitely come back for their goat hotpot

    Soup w crab meats, noodles
    Jeesoun S.

    It's been a while I didn't go to Garden Grove unless I needed something for the gardening. We like the nursery in GG. Today I planned to go there and I found this restaurant by accident. I guess it was former Chinese restaurant in the past. There were lots of customers around 12. I am used to eat Pho rice noodles, spring rolls once in a while. That was all I knew about the Vietnamese foods. When I went over the menu, it was tough to understand what ingredients were there in the soup or rice dishes. So hard....for me and my hubby. However, we chose Chinese fried rice w sausages, eggs and hot soup w crab meats, some noodles. Thank God!!! Right choices for the first time!!! The fried rice looked so flavorful w big shrimps. It was heavenly good. For the soup w crab meats, there were crab meat balls, tofu, tons of crab meats w something crispy and chewy veggies like water Cresson. I love love it!! The broth was so flavorful, made me warm, relaxed. I want to try it next time for sure. We had a great lunch time to discover the new ambiance and new cuisines. Pros Price, quality, service: fast service, affordable price, 4 stars Ambiance: casual Cons Menu: so tough to understand for non Vietnamese customers Sauces: unclear what is hot, medium hot, or mild chili sauces for the dipping the meat balls in the soup for me. Overall, we liked the foods. Definitely come soon to try other foods.

    If you are looking for Vietnamese soup noodles that aren't the usual Pho or Bun Bo Hue or Vermicelli, this spot offers a large variety of Viet staples with interesting meat choices that aren't super mainstream. Probably the one dish I would recommend above others is the Bun Dau Mam Tom with a variety of fish cakes, tofu, pork, and fermented shrimp paste to dip them in. It is a rare item not served at many Viet locations in the US and if you like funky tastes, then this will be right up your alley.

    Chinese fried Rice
    Gaetano S.

    I discovered this new Vietnamese restaurant in Korean mall. I know this place, it was Chinese restaurant for a while. The generation is getting younger, changing. The parents generation is retired, baby boomer. That is why the restaurant looks very fresh, young. They have rice, soup menus, including hot pot. My wife said, hard to understand the menu, more Vietnamese language not clear English descriptions on the menu. But we found Chinese fried rice w chewy sausages and crab soup w noodles. The service was so fast. Almost right away we got the fried rice and crab soup. Wow...looked amazing. The portion is big enough for 2 people, very tasty. For the fried rice, very crunchy, well balanced w sausages, big shrimps. My wife had crab soup, she loved it. Made warm, sweaty, just like the comfort soup in the winter. Overall, the service and price are very good. The portion is huge. The broth is rich, lots of green veggies, tons of crab meats. She said, I can't stop eating this soup. Sooooo good. We will definitely come again. Will try other Vietnamese cuisines beside fried rice. Hopefully they can upgrade the menu clearer in English descriptions w pictures. Just like us, we don't know about the Vietnamese foods well except Pho, spring rolls.

    Bun rieu

    Ordered Bun Mốc as bun Bo hue wasn't available. First time trying Bun Mốc in general, so I was prepared for pork paste balls. The broth is quite nice and packed with a lot proteins. You get mostly large 4 piece of pork paste balls (kind of Luke warm temp) 2 pieces of fried cha chien , and some spare riblets which were tender fall off the bone. You get some mini toppings as fried pork chicharones. The blanched noodles are quite inconsistent as I found some fragments to be under cooked. Overall- you get bang for your buck on getting the proteins in. Be advised if you're here for on a 30 minute lunch break you won't make it. Upon getting seated - You will endure at least 10 window of waiting to place an order. Recommend the Bun Rieu over Bun Mốc.

    My dad's go to place for party food to-go- he especially loves the Lau de/goat stew and think it's the best in OC. As a sit in restaurant, it's a bit small but that only makes the food taste better. I got the bun bo hue and bun dau mam Tom to share and both were so so good. I love the extra spice on the side to add into my bun bo and the mam Tom sauce was extra fishy and so great to dip with the variety of cha. This is my new go to viet restaurant!

    Bún mắm

    One of the best bún mắm in OC. It has all the good ingredients like squid, crispy pork, shrimp, grilled eggplants, peppers stuffed with pork, fish cakes. So yummy and the broth is delicious. It's on the sweeter side which I like. They give the tamarind sauce too. My favorite place to get this dish. The girl server is friendly and helpful.

    Bún đậu mắm tôm & lẫu mắm = Tuyệt vời không đối thủ. Best Hotpot in town. Dine-in or togo is available.

    Old break, rebaked so its too hard to break/ bite

    I ordered 2 pha lau banh mi. They gave me 2 old stale breads which were rebaked and too hard to cut/ chew. Then they explained it's new just because I left it too long. I didn't agree and after I complained, they took the old one and send me a new one but I'm wondering if people just keep silent then they will just send them their trash without apologies. I read other 1* comments and I saw they made the same mistakes: savng cost and served old food for customers. That's the Vietnamese way but you can just apply it at home but not for business. Be nice your customer and no more cheating!

    Original sticky rice, xôi mặn
    Betty G.

    Ordered another sticky rice dish here today. Basically the same one, xoi man, but without the Chinese sausage & pork roll, and substitute with chicken. They never skimp on the protein here, which is great. However, my only comment is, Bap Kitchen should put very little oil in the dish or on the side. It was too greasy at the bottom and the sticky rice is totally soaked and drowned in oil. :(

    Bún mắm
    Wendy H.

    The restaurant was clean and the staff were nice. We got seated pretty quickly. All tables were taken. Bột chiên took awhile to come but it was very good and crunchy with good amount of egg. The bún mắm was just ok. The canh bún was a little plain and very little noodle with a lot of ong choy (rau muống) if you like the rau. Overall, it's a good place to eat.

    We ordered Bun Dau Mam Tom and Lau Rieu Cua. Both were delicious, service was also great, food came out quickly. Just quite small place.

    Charles N.

    There's so many restaurants in Bolsa area serving similar food, but rarely will be a restaurant that serves truly unique but delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I came here because someone told me about the lâu riêu. What's that you may ask? Well, I asked the same question. It doesn't sound that appetizing and certainly I have never heard of it. But wow, it was amazing! So different and yet so good. The broth was so rich. The different types of vegetables and seafood. It was so good! I definitely am going back and I'm going to bring my family. For Thinsulin fans, there's so many green light options.

    Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo.

Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion.

Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
