    Bun thit Nuong cha gio
    Kim N.

    Brodard rolls have always been consistent but I feel like they have gotten smaller . Flavor is still good and sauce is always bomb. Decided to get the Bun Thit Nuong but the egg rolls were also thinner , you only get one cut in half and it was slightly burnt. The grilled pork was also bland and not seasoned well today . Just meh for me. Seafood clay plot was also pretty bland. Restaurant ambiance was nice , service was decent. I'd probably just go back to their fountain valley original location next time.

    I accidentally made reservations to the wrong location but thought no biggie since it's the same same. Man, was I wrong. The prices seem a bit higher at this location and the food was definitely not as good. The famous nem rolls - seems smaller and way pricier. Catfish sizzling plate - awful and over fried. No flavor and the accompanying shrimp paste sauce was nasty. Ban xeo - not good, soggy and tasteless Ban Khot/moon cakes - this was good but we only got 7 pieces when most photos show 8 Shaken beef with garlic noodles - good but thought it was a touch on the salty side Seafood pot - not good. All the seafood was overcooked. The seafood comes on a bed of fried rice. Pork chop and fried shrimp cake broken rice - pretty good, the pork chops were a little tough though. Shrimp and crab glass noodles - by far my favorite of the night. Flavorful and perfect texture. Unfortunately this location does not compare to the original one in terms of quality and taste. So much room for improvement and I truly hope they get there!

    Heard lots of good things about Broadard restaurants but never had the opportunity to try it till today. Was not disappointed! Think of this as a more fancy Vietnamese restaurant, definitely not your hole in the wall place. They even have a bar and service here is great!! Pork spring roll - this was recommended by the server as their specialty and it was good! Make sure you dip it in the sauce or the roll might be a little plain. Vietnamese crepe - excellent!! Great texture, super crispy, and goes well with the sauce as well. Shaken beef with garlic noodle - Excellent! Beef was tender, dish was very flavorful and has "wok hey" (smokiness from the wok). Garlic forward in the best way. Only qualm is that the price for this dish was on the high side ($30+ as there's a $6 charge for changing the rice to garlic noodle). Roast duck noodle - Noodle had the perfect springy bite, soup was savory and tasty. Vietnamese food is generally pretty hit or miss for me but this place is definitely a hit! Just be prepared to spend a little more as prices are not cheap, but the food quality definitely makes up for it!

    We placed an order online and did pick up this time. We were only 15 mins away when we placed our order and by the time we reached, our order was ready. Easy check-in for the pickup. Grilled pork spring rolls is still solid. Perfect portion of grilled pork, crispy eggrolls wrapped bits, and fresh veggies. Each order comes with 4 rolls and a good size cup of their famous dipping sauce. Love eating these with fresh Thai chili peppers. Did notice that there is a customer only parking sign in the parking lot and a security person walking around the parking lot. This was new to us.

    It was my first time visiting this place on a Friday night and the food was absolutely delicious! The only downside was the service was great but the kitchen was pretty slow. It took around ~30 mins for our mango sticky rice to come out near the end. The rolls are amazing and my favorite were the grilled pork rolls! We also got the shrimp and pork rolls and the sauce with those were delicious For entree we ordered the beef with garlic noodles and that was the BEST garlic noodles I've ever had. The sauce was so good and the beef was tender! I would come back just for this dish. For dessert we ordered mango sticky rice. Although this took a while to come out, it was still delicious. I personally prefer a thicker coconut sauce and this was more on the runny side. Overall good experience and I think we just happened to come when they are a bit short staffed. I would come back again!

    This is one of my favorite places to eat in OC. I love their grilled pork spring rolls, they are so flavorful and I love the sauce it comes with. Their pork was also good, but I love the shrimp paste. the portion size is also good. This location is typically less crowded than the Fountain Valley location as well, so it was esy to walk in and get a table!

    Locates in the same parking lot as In-N-Out. This is for Nem Nuong/ Pork Spring rolls! I cannot find another location that tastes better. I tried a few others but they just did not taste the same. Their dipping sauce - I cannot replicate! Dipping sauce enhances the spring rolls to another level. Everyone in my family love them. It was easy to order on the phone and pick up the next day. I didn't have to wait in line or wait for food to be prepared. Staff was cordial and explained details of order on the phone. I'd definitely order again. Parking is plenty in the front. Years ago, I couldn't hardly find parkings but when I arrived recently, there were plenty of parkings.

    Once again- awesome customer service from Vi/Vy. She was busy helping multiple customers and still able to give me my to-go order when it was ready to go. Friendly exceptional service from her. Food was delicious as usual. The rolls and stir fry noodles - fresh and flavorful. Clean spacious restaurant with plenty of park that can fill up during peak hours.

    Spring rolls
    Maria R.

    I had a very nice experience here i totally recommend the spring rolls they will make you want to go back. The home made sauce for the egg rolls was also very tasty. I truly enjoyed it. Service was kind and fast. The pho was also very delicious the broth was amazing

    Mango dessert (inside look)
    Kenneth T.

    When: - Thursday lunch What: - Grilled pork spring roll - Grilled beef and asparagus spring roll - Brodard vermicelli - Mango dessert Experience: - Food was ordered online and ready for pick up as stated - good service. - Spring rolls were amazing! The grilled pork spring rolls had the crispy pieces inside which raised the texture experience of spring rolls giving every bite a crunch. While the asparagus and beef spring roll had a different crunch from the asparagus. Definitely one of the best spring rolls I have had and will be back for these spring rolls! - Brodard vermicelli was delicious and had good variety of protein - shrimp, grilled chicken, grilled pork, and crispy egg rolls. - Picked up a mango dessert when picking up food and it was pricey (~$14) but it was amazing - layers of mango mousse with a layer of mango cubes.

    Nem nuong, chao tom, and ahi tuna rolls
    Vivian T.

    Always a great experience at Brodard! We ordered the famous nem nuong rolls along with our favorite chao tom and ahi tuna rolls as appetizers. We also ordered a banh xeo to share and the cha ca thang long. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The rolls are delicious as always and come with a yummy sauce. The banh xeo was packed with toppings and the shrimp and meat were not dry or overcooked. The cha ca thang long was flavorful and juicy. The service is amazing here - they pack the leftovers for you as well which is great. Love this location since it is less busy than the other location.

    Brodard Chateau is the more upscale fine dining version of Brodard in Fountain Valley. This restaurant offers a quieter and more relaxing dining environment. Service was quick and attentive. This is what we ordered: 1. Grilled pork spring rolls - delicious. Must order! 2. Shaken beef with garlic noodles - This is the best! Must order! 3. Udon with shrimp - Not flavorful. Pass. 4. Moon Cake (aka rice cakes with shrimp) - Nice presentation Portion sizes were somewhat smaller than those at Brodard. The beautiful presentation of each dish and impeccable service made up for the smaller portion sizes.

    Broken Rice with Pork Chop & Shrimp Paste (Com Tam Suon Nuong Tau Hu Ky)
    Amanda Y.

    Brodard Chateau is one of my parents' favorite restaurants, and for good reason. The vibe is smart casual and the service is always very good. Staff is professional and friendly. Food here is consistently great here, too. They are known for their pork spring rolls (nem nuong), so that is a must order. We get them every visit! The summer spring rolls are great, as well. One of my favorite dishes here is the Brodard Chateau Vermicelli (bun dac biet) as the portion is great, and I love how there's all the meats on it. This place is a favorite for a reason!

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!

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.
