    Bomb! So happy there is some little Saigon food here at the airport. Excited to be having banh mi and spring rolls on the plane. Thank you Brodards for expanding! We love your food. Clean and large menu at the airport. Happy Yelping!

    They are open!!!

    Of all the choices in SNA in the morning, I'm glad that this is one of the options! Instead of heavy fried food, imagine biting into a fresh, light, and crunchy roll in the AM. Pair that with their coffee, you are good to go! Located between Terminal C and B, Brodard Express caters to travelers that venture through the halls of SNA. Staffs are super friendly and engaging which made it extra special. They also carry additional items such as banh mi's (Vietnamese sandwiches) and noodle dishes. But we all know why we want to visit here.. their Pork Spring Rolls. Around the area, there are plenty of seating for your quick casual bite. They are organized and efficient which helps for those who are on the go. One world of caution, it it a bit more expensive than their typical prices due to being in the airport. But, I would gladly pay for option. Also, though they don't open until 7am, talk to the staff if you want something simple. They most likely will accommodate you :)

    Egg croissant sandwich is AMAZING
    Jay W.

    I have to admit, as much as I trust my fellow Yelpers, when I read about people visiting John Wayne/Orange County airport just to eat here, I was doubtful. But after the breakfast I just enjoyed on my way home (flying out this morning), no doubt exists any longer. The croissant breakfast sandwich (egg, green pepper, cilantro, slender carrots) was perhaps the best breakfast sandwich I've had in months--such flavor and quality, especially in the croissant! And the Vietnamese coffee was on point--I got the hot, normal sweetness version--and is about to convert me from my black-only coffee days. Don't miss this delightful and delicious food.

    Vietnamese food at an airport in America?! And is it good? It sure is. Might be better than many restaurants too Did not get the chance to get Brodard in Garden Grove during our trip but was able to seize the opportunity at the airport location before our flight Food was really good! The famous pork spring rolls were phenomenal and the chicken rice bowl was light, aromatic, and filling The steak banh mi was good but the bread did feel a bit stale (maybe not as fresh since this was 7 AM)? Would have loved to have some Vietnamese dessert (eg Che Ba Mau) too but that may be asking too much for airport diner. Overall if you're looking for some light, fresh, delicious food before your flight then this is a place worth trying!

    House Special Rice Bowl with Charbroiled Prawns, Pork, and Crispy Egg Roll
    Mike L.

    Even though I had been well aware of Brodard's spot inside of John Wayne, I made a point of not coming here until I got to visit one of their actual restaurant locations. I know it might sound a little snooty, but, based on what I had heard from friends, part of me worried/figured that their famed Nem Nuong Rolls weren't going to be as good here. Now that I've been, those thoughts may be true, but only by the thinnest of margins! Located in the food court in Terminal B, this Brodard is obviously set-up differently than their restaurants. By comparison, the menu here is narrower, but it still has plenty to offer, including a variety of rice bowls, vermicelli bowls, banh mi, and, of course, their famed spring rolls. However, as their name suggests, everything is catered towards travelers on the go. Not only do they open early (7am) and offer a bunch of breakfast options (breakfast banh mi, breakfast spring roll, coffee, etc.), but they also have a bunch of their rolls prepackaged in to-go containers so folks can easily grab them on the run (the only reason why these aren't quite as good). -- BREAKFAST SPRING ROLLS (Bo Bia) - Vietnamese Sausage (Lap Xuong) and Egg Wrapped in Rice Paper with Veggies, Shallots, and Peanuts with Plum Sauce...$8.95 Ehh. Not "bad" per se, but their Nem Nuong Roll is way better. While the slice of sausage seemed fairly large, it was cut a little thin and I didn't care for the texture of the scrambled egg. Still, props for the creativity, even if this was more okay than amazing. -- HOUSE SPECIAL RICE BOWL with Charbroiled Prawns, Pork, and Crispy Egg Roll...$19.95 Pretty solid, especially for airport food. While neither the shrimp nor the pork had any char on it, and despite how the latter was a bit lean, both were well seasoned and the egg roll was decently crispy. Plus, I thought the overall portion size was pretty fair, too! -- BRODARD GRILLED PORK SPRING ROLLS (Nem Nuong) - Grilled Pork Patty Wrapped in Rice Paper with a Crispy Roll, Mint, Carrot, Daikon, and Cucumber with Brodard Sauce...$8.95 My favorite Brodard's roll and this one didn't disappoint. I loved how juicy and meaty the grilled pork was and how the crispy rice paper added a nice bit of crunch. Dip/pour on some of their Brodard sauce and you get a mouthful of deliciousness! Being that it's located inside of an airport, it's to be expected that the prices here are generally higher than either of their regular locations and at most other Vietnamese restaurants. However, aside from their banh mi, which definitely felt a bit steep, the prices actually aren't terribly high (the Nem Nuong Roll is about $2 more here). Plus, when you consider how convenient it is to pick up some rolls here to bring home, I'm more than okay with paying the extra couple of bucks to get them as fresh as I can before my flight!

    Brodard never misses. Flew out of SNA & was pleasantly surprised to see they had Brodards express. I got my go-to order, the nem nuong (Grilled Pork Rolls), they usually serve three rolls but this had two. The dipping sauce with sambal is chef's kiss. Delicious right before our flight!!

    Michael W.

    So happy to stumble upon this place in the airport nonetheless! Great selections of the most popular items Brodard is known for, from the legendary spring rolls to grilled rib eye banh mi and macarons. Prompt and friendly service. Clean and plenty of seating. Located at the food court in terminal B of SNA airport, but easy walking distance from either terminals A or C as all terminals are connected airside. Makes SNA even better!

    Iced Jasmine tea

    Quick service. Jasmine tea is unsweetened and strongly flavored. Have gotten their rolls before abd they're amazing-crunchy, filled with veggies and protein.

    Combo bowl
    Ming S.

    The best airport food, ever. What's not to like? Brodard at the airport is as good as it gets. I always go for their pork rolls and a combo bowl (can select rice or vermicelli). And if you have extra room, get a Vietnamese coffee.

    The nem nuong brodard grilled pork spring rolls are a must order if you decide to eat at brodard express. It's quick and easy to eat, I came on a Sunday morning around 630am, no line, the order came out super quick. The veggies in the roll are fresh, I love the crispy inside of it, the meat perfectly season and the dipping sauce is so delicious. Definitely a must try if have never tried brodard nem nuong brodard grilled pork spring rolls. Price wise its $9 for 2 rolls, a little pricey but hey its airport price with outside restaurants quality.

    Before my flight. Pork bahn mi and Thai iced tea
    Jessilyn C.

    Not bad for airport food. I had the pork bahn mi, and Thai tea, hubby had the beef bahn mi. Good flavor on both, a bit on the dry side, but still was filling enough for lunch while we waited for our flight. Gal taking orders was cordial, she suggested the pork bahn mi to me. It was right across from our gate, and there were plenty of seating.

    Shrimp and pork combo spring rolls
    Hope J.

    The spring rolls are basically the same as they are at the main restaurant location. These were not warm and may have been sitting out for a while, but they were still good. There is a food court seating area.

    Grilled Pork bowl and spring rolls
    Abbe W.

    Located between Terminal B and Terminal C of John Wayne Airport. It's a nice addition to the food court area. Whenever my daughter and I tried to catch a plane out to Bay Area to visit grandma in the evening, this place is one of our favorites for dinner. It's good food but also pricey. Portion is generous. I've tried their spring rolls (my favorite), pork rice bowl, and beef rice bowl. It's nice option for dinner so we won't arrive hungry especially flights get delayed occasionally.

    Can i get food here without having to fly? Work nearby and would be awesome to get rolls closer.

    You can go to information desk at baggage claim area and ask for OC Airpass to go in to eat. It takes 5 minute and all they need from you is your drivers license

Moreover, they include broth bones where there are still tiny morsels of meat still attached. As of it wasn't already giving my mama's house, you can also find nước mắm on the tables where you can concoct a whole dipping situation. Ten. What really sold me was #23 - tôm chua đu đủ Đặc biệt. It's so simple - fermented shrimp, pork belly, herbs, and some rice. This is my favorite comfort dish. The combination of papaya/shrimp, pork belly, herbs along with a bite of rice is the most perfect bite. Again, I've never ever seen this dish offered at a restaurant so I was absolutely beside myself. Not only do they serve this dish here, you can buy a jar of the tôm chua to go. Okay, bookmark this place and come tomorrow.

I kid you not....about 30 seconds later, another waiter came rushing over asking the same question. I felt rushed and annoyed at the same time. What's going on here? To be fair, I grew up eating here and have returned about three times as an adult. Unfortunately, each visit has been worse than the last. The restaurant seems to have no motivation to improve. The place feels dirty, the food is mediocre, and the customer service is pretty terrible.
