    Not many choices on the menu compared to other restaurants but the food is good as always. I've been to this restaurant for over 10 years. They only accept cash.

    Goat udder
    Noba N.

    My friend had searched all of California as she was craving goat udder and found it in a local restaurant in Artesia and flew in from SF for her bday to eat here She wanted to show me that there's more to Vietnamese food than bahn mi and pho and boy did she order a lot of new tastes for me! The menu is mostly Vietnamese bar food. You look inside and what the restaurant assumes the general public doesn't care for is listed only in Vietnamese and the common foods had English translations on it so it may be good to take a friend who can read Vietnamese. The goat udder was nice and chewy. I surprisingly liked it. Fried frog tasted like chicken but when chewed it felt like I was eating fish. Goat salad tasted like the inside of a spring roll where there was peanuts some citrus and lots of fresh herbs. Goat curry tasted like oxtail to me but was Delicious. Extra bread is $3 Clams were sweat broth with spice chopped in with super delicious herbs. The quail reminded me of Peking duck I appreciate having access to such variety of food!

    Food is so good and the price? OMG extremely affordable I'm sad that I didn't this place sooner

    Tiếc canh vịt
    Mai H.

    This place has a lot of "do nhau" (drinking) food; which I love. Tiếc canh, dê xào lăn, and Vú dê nướng are among the popular dishes here. It's difficult finding unique Vietnamese dishes like these in SD; but OC have plentiful. I was recently introduced to this place by my sister and will make it a stop for some to-go every time I'm up in OC.

    Gia cay heo
    Nam T.

    This place reminds me of being in Vietnam. The location is more of a hole in the wall place, not the most glamorous and definitely not the most cleanest, lol. Most of the dishes they serve are Viet drinking food. You have your 'tiet canh' (ducks blood) and many types of clams. Try these if you are feeling adventurous! I have also had their goat hot pot which was huge! I recommend getting this only if you have 3 or more in your party as we couldn't finish it between 2 people. We also tried the 7 courses of goat which was all delicious! My favorite were the goat curry (cari de)- so tender and well seasoned! The grilled goat meat was also super tasty. Another dish I had was the heo gia cay. It is a this pork soup served with rice noodles on the side. The broth is so flavorful and chock full of chopped up herbs and spices like lemon grass and galangal. Very fragrant! I would recommend coming here if you are looking for authentic Vietnamese drinking food! It is much different from your typical Viet meals like pho, bun bo hue, banh xeo, etc. Come here only if you are feeling ADVENTUROUS!

    7 courses of goat

    This place has the best Tiet Canh (duck's or goat's blood pizza) in town. It's a small restaurant that holds about 25 people at capacity, so it's not recommended for big parties. If you have a couple of people who's down to eat good food and have some cold beers in the early afternoon, this is the place to go. They have a lot of nhau (drinking/finger) food to choose from, as well as rice and noodle dishes. They're known for their goat dishes, but everything I have tried here is good. Be warned that it's cash only here and the place close around 7pm. It's a small family owned restaurant with no AC and the owner may look grumpy, but the food is exceptional and once in awhile you'll catch a glimpse of his smile. Try it if you're in the area.

    The tiet canh was awesome. Be Thui not so much

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!

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.

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.
