    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

    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!

    I love a good Vietnamese place that not only gives you good portions but also great deals. They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. 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!

    Welcome to Day 2 of OC Food Journals, where I try a new place every day so you don't have to…read more Today's stop was Loi's Kitchen, and honestly, this review is a little overdue. 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!

    There's a reason why Oc & Lau has two locations! Solid spot for family style Vietnamese dining…read more Parking is in a big plaza shared with many other businesses, but we've never had too much trouble finding a spot. Service was good for how busy they are! What we got: - Crab fried rice - delicious and so buttery - Steamed clams - not my choice but it was a good choice for others in our party - House special lobster - a must, especially if celebrating - Seafood platter for Thai hotpot w/ vermicelli noodles - my family always likes a good Thai hotpot - Mung bean pudding dessert - not too sweet, and I believe this is complimentary Everything tasted really good, 10/10 no notes. The menu is HUGE and I'd want to come here again with a big group just to order different plates.

    We had initially passed Oc & Lau Restaurant a few months back when we were getting dessert nearby…read more We were definitely intrigued by the amount of people waiting outside and could see through the window all the food on the table. 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.
