    Everything was pretty good. We got the app sampler, bun Bo hue, and another dish. All were good! Barely any people on a Thursday evening so service was quick.

    Viet grandma approved! We came here to satisfy our banh bro craving. This place is an OG spot that recently relocated here. If you are wondering the difference between the 10 piece banh beo chenand the banh beo in the number 8 combo. There is a big difference. The Chen option is much thicker and can tell is freshly made. The combo banh beo you get 3x the amount but they are thinner and not as satisfying. You might not think 10 thicker ones will get you full but I promise it was a satisfying amount. I liked the banh nam I tried but didn't really care for the banh bot loc or the $1 nem chua. Parking- smaller sized lot but not too busy

    One of my usual spot for BBH because my mom likes this place. The taste is a little bland for me. I love the veggies they give, very fresh and clean. The banh rang is good here but I hardly eat them. Banh Bot Loc and banh nam are good but the fish sauce isn't the best. The service is fast and the place is spacious. No problem with parking. I am ok with going here. They are on my top five choices for BBH at this moment.

    1. I ordered a small Bun Bo Hue, and it was a generous portion! The coffee was strong but not too bitter! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! Interior is big with good spacing with the arrangements! 3. There are only indoor seatings! There are a lot of tables! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! The items came out in the following order: drinks, BBH, and then the Banh It Ram! 5. Parking is easily available! Spots are single-lined and not compact! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Coconut Water, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Bun Bo Bue, and Banh It Ram!

    this is a nice cozy vietnamese restaurant that serves bun bo hue and other delicacies like banh beo. they are located in korea town garden grove area and have a parking space that was recently having construction activity but is now open. they offer pick up to go options if you call ahead. their food is delicious and always has big portions. however, the service and attitudes of the staff can be indifferent and not too welcoming at times.

    First time trying this place. Plenty of room. Menu is in English with detail descriptions. Yummy soy bean milk is just perfect. Wow the sauce on #16 is super tasty! The shrimp is cooked just right. Must order #5 it's their signature dish. I like it with chili oil n fish sauce.

    Super solid spot for bun bo hue! The price is great for a very filling bowl ($12.90 for a large!). Restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables. Service is your typical Vietnamese restaurant but they bring everything out quickly and efficiently. The bun bo hue itself is very good! Clean broth with lots of toppings and veggies. We also ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee ($4 for 12 oz); strong flavor with a slight nuttiness to it. I think this is our new go-to place!

    Mi Quang noodles. Loaded with goodies.

    After watching all the YouTubers dining here and reading reviews about Ben Ngu, I decided to try it out today. :) Had the Mi Quang. It was actually very good. Generous portion of protein, which included pork, 3 large shrimps, and fish cake. The bowl was filled with a good amount of braised pork, chopped up into small pieces, perfectly seasoned and very tender and delicious. The shrimp and fish cake were also very tasty. I ordered the small size bowl and couldn't even finish it! I love it that they served it with a large plate of veggies and herbs on the side. Restaurant was clean and since it is far away from the hustle bustle of the Little Saigon, you can enjoy your meal quietly if that's what you'd prefer. Service was good. They had plenty of to go orders while I was there. Will be back again soon to try other dishes. They all look and sound yummy.

    Nice little mom and pop shop that serves a variety of Hue or Northern style dishes. Primarily they are know for their Bun Bo Hue. They have been around for quite a while. Food was delicious, this is one of the few places where they don't skimp out on protein and the banh beo plate was good as well, for the what we paid for, it was such a deal. Will definitely be back.

    Still my favorite place for Vietnamese central region food. Never have to wait and plenty of parking. Prices went up a little bit however still very reasonably compared to other restaurants in Westminster. See new updated menu attached.

The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious.

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.

    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.

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.
