    Spicy 5 Piece WINGS!
    James N.

    10 STARS FOR ME! I'm honestly surprised this place doesn't have more reviews or more traffic! The wings were incredible--golden brown with a handmade batter and spices mixed together perfectly. You can tell they're made fresh and cooked just right. The lemongrass chicken was also delicious--full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. So good I ordered Rib eye (beef) Banh Minh sandwich!! The owner (I didn't catch her name) was very kind and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try the calamari next time! Highly recommend checking this place out.

    21. Charbroiled Pork on Vermicelli with egg rolls
    Vera L.

    This used to be Lemongrass but they changed the owner. It's decent Vietnamese food but I think they're charging way too high for simple Vietnamese food. $7 for a Vietnamese coffee and almost $20 for Pho. Pork vermicelli - big enough portion . egg rolls were really good but strips of charbroiled pork were little and sliced very thin . Love how the veggies were fresh. Fish sauce was bland Bun Bo hue- good and flavorful but still lacking some broth depth compared to other places Spring rolls- decent and fresh. Wish there were the crispy stuff inside like how Lemongrass and Brodards do it. The lady was extremely nice. As much as I want to support small businesses , I can't see myself wanting to come again. I'd rather drive further to OC or 626 for some authentic Vietnamese place. Best of luck!

    32. Pho Chicken. Overall Rating: 9/10; they do pho right Quality: 9/10; clean, not bad value for portion size but everything be $$$ now, good amount of chicken:noodle ratio Good customer service Would come back for ribeye pho and banh mi's Improvements: would love sambal for the table (only hoisin, sriracha, shoyu)

    A cold winter day calls for a Pho. Tried Basil Bistro for the first time. Tried the spicy seafood Thai style. Loved it. Food 5 stars Ambience : casual dining 5 stars Service 5 stars. Was not a big fan of the fried rice but Pho was bang on... definitely coming back.

    Charbroiled Pork w/ Egg Roll Rice Plate
    Fiona Y.

    We came for Mother's Day lunch, looking to try a new spot and left with happy bellies. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was friendly and quick, the best combo! We ordered their Charbroiled pork with egg roll rice plate, vermicelli bowl, and Pad Thai. The pork cutlets were pounded thin until tender, marinated with so much flavor, and grilled until aromatic. The rice plate came with two cutlets over a mound of rice, I was impressed with the portion size. My egg roll was so crispy and came hot. The Pad Thai had a unique twist, it didn't have the usual sweet-tart sauce, instead more like a garlicky sweet soy sauce. Still delicious! The noodles were flat and thicker, but it still had a nice chew for texture. Shrimp was a bit overcooked, but no other complaints. Can't wait to come back!

    chicken and rice bowl
    Lacey C.

    I had no idea this place was even here, It's new and it is SO delicious. It's such good food and such good quality food. The flavor of the beef broth on the pho was so good I drank the broth until my bowl was empty. The vegetables were fresh and the flavor was great! My husband got the chicken and rice bowl and we both had pickled carrots and jalapeño to garnish. The place is really cute and clean, and the service was great. I will definitely come back! I'm so glad there is a new delicious Pho place to visit.

    Gyoza
    Lishya H.

    I saw this newly opened Vietnamese Thai restaurant the other week and was eager to try since the menu looks very appealing. It was a Wednesday night and we were the only table beside another table with one person. Scanned through the menu and decided to order beef pho, yam veggie roll, gyoza and fried chicken bowl. The service was nice and attentive. Now, let me review the food: - Beef pho is below par, the broth wasn't hot at all and it was too little for the typical pho bowl. Nicely, the waiter brought us another bowl of broth and it was very hot when we mentioned our concern to him. Why not from the beginning they served it as hot? The flavor of the broth wasn't savory IMHO. It's not that authentic and the beef is just ok, a bit dry overall. - Fried chicken rice bowl is more like Japanese Oyako don, but with fried chicken. The portion is pretty small, the portion of the chicken itself more like appetizer size. The rice also tastes old. - Yam Veggie Roll was pretty good, but way too much Thai sweet chili sauce and gyoza was just ok. Definitely it breaks my heart to experience this at a newly opened restaurant and as much as I'd love supporting small business, I'll put my money somewhere else.

    Incredible food and service. Best Banh Mi we've ever had. The lemongrass beef banh mi should be famous. Pork spring rolls are incredible. We drove an hour out of our way to come back here. Clean, friendly. We'll be back.

    Banh Mi , 31. Pho Beef Ribeye, and 26. Pad Thai with Shrimp
    Jonathan Y.

    Today I came here for the first time ever. My wife and I would always go next door for sushi but we were feeling for some Vietnamese food. Let me tell yall, this place does NOT disappoint! We requested for the Pad Thai to be spicy and sure enough, it came out with the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The Pho had a great broth and noodle texture. Banh mi was very authentic. Overall, this place deserves 5 stars and definitely would recommend!!

    一直在考慮,到底要給他們三顆星還是四顆星,事實上在我心裡面大概就在三點五顆左右,裡面的環境是明亮也漂亮的,有小小的自己的特色,本來看到泰式跟越式一起的餐廳很興奮,想來試試,到底是什麼樣的滋味,結果只有第一道炸春捲還可以,我很喜歡吃的豬排飯,真的非常的鹹,另外我叫的炒麵,鍋氣也有待加強,東西就是差一點點,大概就是75分左右,但是他們的服務態度是好的,整體環境也是不錯的!

    28. Bun Bo Hue
    Kevin N.

    Flavorful bowl of Bun Bo Hue that is extremely temperature hot. Perfect for a cold day. The restaurant this place replaced tasted a bit better, but this place is good too.

It felt bittersweet sharing one final meal together in a place that holds so many memories. I come here almost weekly, and servers Daniel and May always carry the brightest smiles and provide the warmest service.

The filling is slightly different than typical banh mi since it's meant to mimic the elements of beef brisket pho. The portion was great for the price & the sandwiches were packaged nicely so it is easy to take on the go. I ordered via online ordering so I have limited say on service & ambiance. But I would be open to dining in next time to try other items on the menu based on reviews.

The same waitress we've dealt with in the past continues to be extremely rude. She has gotten our order wrong before and tends to argue instead of resolving issues. There also seems to be a communication barrier, which wouldn't be a problem if there was at least some effort to be patient or respectful but there isn't. Tonight really crossed the line. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, which is still reasonable time to dine in. The waitress made direct eye contact with me when we walked in, yet never greeted us or acknowledged us. A man came in after us and was immediately welcomed and told to take a seat. Meanwhile, my son and I stood there waiting with no direction. Eventually, I had to ask where we could sit. The man at the register mentioned they close at 9 PM and asked if we wanted to dine in or do takeout. Since we still had time, we chose to eat there. We sat down and again, nothing. The waitress walked past us multiple times, even bringing condiments and service to the man who came in after us, completely ignoring us. At around 8:45 PM, she finally approached us. As I began placing my order, she cut me off to ask "for here or takeout," then suddenly changed it to "actually, you can only do takeout." This was confusing and frustrating, especially since the other customer was clearly still being served for dine-in. I went to the register to place and pay for my order, and I asked her why the same rule didn't apply to the man behind us. She said he was dining in. That didn't make sense, considering we arrived first. The situation turned into her arguing with me claiming she didn't see us earlier and even disputing who brought us water. On top of everything, I was left feeling severely embarrassed in front of other customers, especially with my child there to witness it. No parent should have to experience that kind of treatment while simply trying to have a meal. By 9 PM, the man who came after us was already being served his food while we were denied the same service. This experience felt not only disrespectful but also discriminatory. It's disappointing because I've tried to support this place multiple times, but the consistent poor treatment and lack of professionalism make it impossible to return. I won't be coming back.

When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.
