First time here, and wow, what a busy place! I loved the lively atmosphere. This is the largest Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to! I ordered the famous pork spring rolls and a pork and seafood soup. Both were excellent in quality and taste, and the soup was piping hot. This was some of the best food I've had eating out in a long time! The only hiccup was that I think my spring rolls were delivered to the gentleman sitting next to me, who arrived later and ordered the same thing. Mine were missing until I pointed it out, and they eventually brought them over. My Royal Tea Boba drink was also missing initially. Despite the mix-up with my order, the food was fantastic, and I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Beef stew

We made a reservation before hand because they are always busy. Parking is in a big lot so we didn't have to worry about it. Inside was clean and busy. The server we had was amazing. He was really on top of our orders and where everything should go. Checked to make sure nothing was missing. I got the beef stew with a baguette, nem spring rolls, Thai green tea. The Thai green tea didn't really impress me. The beef stew was so flavorful and rich. You could also tell the bread was fresh. The spring rolls were a major hit with our table! Overall they really know how to season their food and made sure all ingredients paired with everything.

Grilled Pork Spring Rolls   Nem Nuong Cuon

My family loves Brodard. It is a go-to restaurant whenever we visit SoCal. We came on during Saturday dinner rush so it was quite busy! We had to wait over 30 mins for a table. There were a lot of people waiting outside. We were given menus immediately. Ordered quite a few dishes but the nem spring rolls are the best! It is definitely a must eat. I'm pretty sure they are known for it. We have ordered these to go before as well. You can even find it at SNA airport. Overall, food is great. Price can be a bit pricy, but worth it.

Vietnamese Egg Rolls   Cha Gio. They didn't stay crispy on the ride home.

Did my order online through Toast and paid. My order was ready when I arrived. The Vietnamese egg rolls didn't make it home very well. They weren't crispy anymore. Ordered my favorite Vietnamese Crepes!!! Delicious. This location is always busy and the Long Beach location is scheduled to open 1 Oct. Ok, bye.

This is such an iconic OC staple and whenever I find myself in the vicinity, I get a major craving for their nem nuong (pork sausage) spring rolls. It really is that good.. and the warm sauce that it comes with is chef's kiss. This place is massive, but don't be fooled. You need to join the Yelp waitlist, or you'll find yourself sitting around and waiting for awhile. We ordered the following: 1) Nem nuong spring rolls - We ended putting in 3 order for this because one is not enough for each person! My daughter gobbled this up! 2) Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings - Holy moly this was also super good! Perfect crisp and flavor! I also liked the sauteed onions and peppers that accompanied them. 3) Brodard Special - This came with grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, BBQ pork, and nem nuong crispy eggrolls over vermicelli, accompanied with Asian greens, peanuts and lime chili fish sauce. It was perfect since it had a sampler of different items especially when there are so many options on the menu and you get decision fatigue. The staff was also great since they are very efficient when taking orders and when its time to pay the bill. They run a tight ship, but for good reason. Parking can be tricky since it is in a strip mall, but something opened up closer to the grocery store side. All in all, there is a reason why this place is always so busy! They have delicious food!

Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodles (IG: @christal.light)

I've had their famous grilled pork spring rolls at parties and what not, but this was my first time eating at the actual restaurant. I didn't realize it was near so many other popular Asian spots like Vox Kitchen and Airoma. The restaurant is very spacious and has a little bakery area in the front. There are lots of tables and they can easily accommodate big groups. We started with grilled pork ($11.40/ 4 rolls) and shrimp spring rolls ($12.40/ 4 rolls). It was my first time trying the shrimp ones and I liked them just as much as the pork. We also got the Luna Rice Cakes with Shrimp ($18.95) which were so cute and tasted good too. For my main, I ordered the Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodle ($26.95). It had a good amount of beef, but could have used more noodles. The filet mignon beef was tender and very flavorful. It was a pretty good first experience. The service was quick although they didn't check up on us much or refill our waters. I'm not an expert on Vietnamese food but we enjoyed what we had.

Shrimp and Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
Isabella W.

This restaurant is always on our list to eat at when visiting SoCal. I'm not exaggerating when I say I daydream about these spring rolls. Shrimp is nice and fresh and grilled pork is savory and flavorful, plus a signature deep-fried rolled egg roll or wonton wrapper tucked inside that gives the spring roll its iconic "crunch." The signature orange dipping sauce brings it all together. The Bún Bò Huế was so delicious. It perfectly balanced savory, spicy, citrusy, and umami flavors in the broth. Generous portions of meat in the bowl as well. Service was quick and you get your food shortly after ordering. There's a large parking lot. Expect long waits during meal rush hours.

I love their grilled pork spring rolls! A friend first brought some for me to try and I've been craving them ever since. I honestly wish there was a Brodard closer to home so I wouldn't have to drive to OC whenever I want them lol. It was our first time dining in last Saturday. We went around 5 PM and joined the waitlist thru Yelp since I had read that waits can get long, but luckily we didn't wait very long. The restaurant itself is really nice and I liked the decor. We ordered the grilled pork spring rolls, shaken beef with rice, and BBQ chicken with garlic noodles. Everything was delicious. The staff and servers were also friendly and attentive. My only complaint is that the default gratuity options were 20, 25, and 30%, which felt a little excessive to me. You can enter your own amount, but I was still annoyed that the preset options started that high. Anyway we will definitely stop by again whenever we're in OC.

Fresh Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls   Goi Cuon Tom & Th t - 4 Rolls
Terrence Y.

Came highly recommended from one of my friends. I was driving up the 405 and decided to stop by to grab a late lunch to-go for my drive to LAX. It's a huge free standing restaurant in the same strip mall complex as many of the Kei Concept restaurants. There's a separate to-go section and the line moves quickly. The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was my first time. I ordered the most popular items. The shrimp spring rolls and the pork spring rolls. I can honestly say they were some of the best I've had. And the crunch was so surprising. Although, the biggest surprise was the dipping sauce. OMG. That was the best sauce I've ever had. I may go back just to order the sauce.

Grilled Pork Spring Rolls   Nem Nuong Cuon - 3 Rolls
Vian N.

The best nem nuong spring roll I've ever had. Usually the fried dough in the middle is crunchy, but theirs is crispy and crumbles into a bunch of tiny pieces. So light and addicting. Filling as well The mi toi Bo luc lac is a classic. Chewy savory beef and thick egg noodle. Honestly a quite a bite

Nem Chua Bo ($16/4 rolls), Fresh Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls/Goi Cuon Tom & Thit ($12/4 rolls), Duck Buns ($14/2pc)
Bright H.

We can here on a Saturday afternoon, extremely busy. We had to wait about 30-45 minutes to be seated and about 20 minutes to get our food. The food itself was also not amazing. The place is known for spring rolls so I assume that it would be good to try, but the sauce was too sweet and the roll just lacked sustenance. Very large restaurant though and bathrooms are good.

Egg Rolls
Dee T.

This place is JUMPING!!!! It was so busy on a week night!!! After eating, we could see why! The grilled pork spring roll is to die for!!!! It was my favorite! Second place goes to the shaken beef and garlic noodle! The noodle has a nice chew and the meat is so soft! The garlic rice with chicken is also very good . . The rice is so flavorful! Service is lightning fast and there's a lot of energy in the restaurant! We will need to come back here!!!!!

Macarons | IG @moniquedao
Monique D.

Love their spring rolls, of course! I only get the shrimp paste ones - they taste so much better than the pork. Really love that they include a crispy roll of rice paper inside to make things a little crispy with every bite. The delicious sauce is what makes everything come together nicely. What does suck is the price of macarons has gone up to $2.75 from $1.25. The place is always busy, so I highly recommend ordering online ahead of time if you're just looking for a quick bite to go. But even then you still have to get in line just to pick up your order, which totally defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. They should just do what Starbucks does - leave the orders on a counter!

Ask the Community - Brodard Restaurant

Does the sauce for the spring roll have peanut?

Yes it does

Will they be opened on Christmas day (25th) for 2023. Do they take reservations? Thanks all.

Yes,they take reservations. I don't know about Christmas Day, but it would be a delightful place to go!

How long do the pork and shrimp rolls last for? Can I get them a day in advance for a party or will it not taste good overnight?

The rice paper gets hard and dried out but maybe if you put a moist towel over the tray it will help. I'd call the restaurant and ask to be sure but I wouldn't recommend it. And the sauce is served warm.

Is this place ayce?

No.

As of July 17 2022 does brodard have outdoor dining?

Unfortunately they do not. But because of the location it's best that they don't. You would be overlooking a Parking Lot.

Pet friendly ? Do you allow pet inside the establishment? Small breed

No. So glad they don't.

Is Brodard still offering outdoor dining?

I didn't see any outside. They are busy enough with inside tables. 🙂

Does their spring roll sauce have peanuts in it?

Yes.

Is there still outdoor dining? I called and the person who picked up seemed confused?

Nope.

Do they have outside dining?

Nope

Do you have gift certificates?

Yes. I received one for my birthday. Lunch was great.

If you had only two choices only, which spring rolls are a must try?

Definitely try the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls - Nem Nuớng Cuốn, with their warm house special sauce!

How much is a catering tray for 50 rolls of nem nuong rolls?

They're $2.25 per roll, doesn't matter if you order in bulk. So it'll be $112.50

Does business accept EBT card?

Nope

My kids have peanut allergies. How safe would it be for them to eat egg roll/vermcelli if I tell the staff we have a peanut allergy (worried about cross contamination)?

They use peanut in a lot of their dishes and sauces. Very easy to have cross contamination. For a very busy restaurant with a lot of workers running around hectically, no matter how careful they try to be, mistakes can happen. Depending on how… 

Is it still possible to buy the nem nuong separately (and frozen)?

Yes. They sell them a la carte and with the dipping sauce. You can freeze them yourself, but they are best when fresh.

Do they accept cash or is it cashless during the pandemic?

They accept both cash and card and even online payment.

Do their spring roll dipping sauce contain any kind of meat?

No it's a peanut based sauce

Now the restaurants are allowed indoor dining, do they still keep the tents for outdoor dining?

Yes they had the tents for outdoor dining.

Is the Brodard gift card redeemable for online orders? I do not see an option for it on the website.

I love how strong but creamy and delicious this coffee is. I'm hooked! I am Vietnamese and I approve of this cup of coffee. While I was there I saw their glorious casing of pastries and I couldn't resist. I ordered and enjoyed: 2 Garlic Bread ($5.35/each), Chocolate Croissant ($6.60), Almond Croissant ($6.85), Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread ($4.75) and 2 Macarons ($3.20). Their pastries are fantastic. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy sweets as much as I do so that garlic bread was good for it. The croissants were really flakey and flavorful. I enjoyed the bread. For the macarons I was given a third one as a thanks for all the items I orders and I liked all 3. Yum! Wish I could come back to support the business, especially with their incredible coffee, but I was told that they will be closing on 7/31/26. I'm so sad I didn't discover them sooner.

It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.

It's located in between Hong Lan Queen Eggrolls and Nam Am Chicken Rice restaurants on Brookhurst St in the Brookhurst Town Center. There is a parking lot that could be difficult to find a spot during lunch or dinner rush hours and weekends. I saw that they had black sesame coffee which made me really want to check it out. Black sesame drinks and food are a guilty pleasure of mine. My boyfriend and I both got their Nostimo Cafe Muoi Me (Black Sesame Coffee) with less ice. I forgot to adjust the sweetness but that wasn't needed at all! When I took the first sip without the straw, I had a lot of black sesame notes as there was actual black sesame topping on the cold foam and the strong bitter coffee taste. Then I mixed it with the straw and omg, it was a really nice balance of strong, delicious coffee and a nuttiness from the black sesame. SO GOOD. We both enjoyed it a lot!

Service was good, note that the souffle pancakes may have a bit of a wait time, which they informed us when we ordered and it was understandable since they're making them fresh and they were so worth it! We ordered a Pistachio Coffee Latte, Ube Coco Souffle & Matcha Souffle Pancakes for the 5 of us to share. It was definitely plenty for all of us. Portion sizing is pretty generous. Quality, taste, flavor, presentation/attention to details - all well worth the price. Would definitely recommend trying the souffle pancakes here! The Matcha one was personally my favorite!
