Amazing traditional Vietnamese food! Honestly the best egg rolls and spring rolls I have ever had. If you're craving pad Thai it's delicious and the service is as good as it gets! Lam is the best waiter I have ever had! read more

Food is high quality . It is always delicious . Service is excellent . Our family enjoy every time we are here.

Always gotta get the spring rolls. Bo luc lac w/ garlic noodles was good. It comes with mushrooms instead of bell pepper which is a bonus for me. Next time I'm in, I'll try the red rice. Fish basil rice was super yummy & the sauce was very good. Bun thit nuong was also super yummy Service was very attentive and made sure I was adequately hydrated. read more

Brodard Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Was originally going to give an even lower rating because of the poor mannerism and professionalism from the front host--talking about the slightly tall Asian guy with the blond(?) tips and lack of sincerity from him and the other host with the burgundy/purple hair who did not make the situation any better. We had made a reservation and even received a call to confirm the reservation, just to find out our name wasn't in the system. Idk why the host kept INSISTING we check into Yelp even though the manager (?) said she'll work on the table for us. He kept going back and forth with us and immediately walked off. We had a great waiter who was very sweet and attentive so this helped ease the mood. The food was decent, proportions were kind of eh. We ordered the nem nuong which was kind of dry, the sauce was lackluster. I did like the shrimp skewers and the Thai style soup. read more

This star is for the table booking boy -- the tall young guy. I came on Friday night and had already called the receptionist and checked in on Yelp, but we still had to wait for over an hour. Meanwhile, people who arrived after us were seated right away. I was very disappointed by the unprofessional service and how poorly the situation was handled. However, I give 5 stars to the waitress who served us. She was kind, attentive, and did a great job. I hope the manager sees this review and improves the professionalism of the front staff. I would like to come back in the future, but right now I honestly feel hesitant to recommend this place to my friends. read more

We've been coming here for many years and it's still so busy. We come when I'm craving for their Nem Nuong Cuon. Add your named to the Waitlist early, wait can be up to an hour. The restaurant is very spacious and can accommodate huge groups. They have a very wide selection of Vietnamese food. I always like to try something new each time I come. This time I had the chicken curry and it was very good. The curry was very flavorful and wished there was more curry because my bread absorbed most of it. Definitely a restaurant we frequent. read more

The spring rolls with pork were so good! If I lived closer I'd probably eat them too often just because of how satisfying it is for a quick bite. I was surprised by the crunch in the spring rolls. I've never had anything like it. The sauce was okay. Honestly I preferred eating it with hot sauce. I also tried Vietnamese Crepes for the first time. It wasn't my favorite but the quality was there. I'd definitely come back for the spring rolls. read more

Stick with the popular Grilled Pork Spring Rolls (Nem Nướng Cuốn). Although the restaurant has a huge range of options to choose from, they didn't meet our expectations and tasted better at other places. Just order their popular dishes, or else you'll just be disappointed. Mì Quảng is easily my favorite Vietnamese dish, and it didn't taste as good as I thought it would. Their grilled pork spring rolls were tasty, but that's what is expected of them. My sister noticed that they also sold boba drinks and was pleasantly surprised by the decent taste and quality. * Nem Nướng Cuốn: 10/10 - amazing sauce and wonton skin * Mì Quảng: 6/10 - broth was mediocre and no shredded meat * Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang: 7/10 - decent but nothing mind-blowing * Passion Fruit Tea with Mini Boba: 9/10 - surprisingly tasty * Lychee Tea with Boba: 8/10 - refreshing The workers were very assertive, and we didn't have much trouble trying to grab their attention. A huge downside that we noticed this time was how dark the restaurant was. Although we went just a couple of hours right after opening, the restaurant barely has any light and heavily relies on natural sunlight through the windows. Depending on where you're seated in the restaurant, it can get pretty tough reading the menu and taking photos. We were seated at a booth that was on a platform, and my mom tripped because of the dim lighting. Not terrible, but probably won't come back for a while. read more

The food is still the same and all the spring rolls still have the long Asian chive. I do like the traditional pho, bun, and fried rices that we enjoyed. We took home some food to-go and enjoyed later. The service is good the servers are very friendly and polite. It does still get very busy during rush hour lunch even on the week days. I have to admit this place is starting to grow on me. Im enjoying the food, service and people more now. We have tried the coffee and desserts too they're worth trying as well. Enjoy! read more

Lunch at Brodard Restaurant today and honestly... now I understand why this place is so loved in Orange County. From the moment the dishes arrived, everything looked fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. The famous nem nướng spring rolls absolutely lived up to the hype -- crispy, smoky, packed with herbs, and paired with that signature sauce that keeps you wanting more. Every plate felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. What I really enjoyed was how vibrant and authentic the whole experience felt. Great atmosphere, fast service, and the kind of food you keep thinking about long after lunch is over. If you're in Fountain Valley or exploring Little Saigon, this Vietnamese restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Already planning my next trip back for more spring rolls.

Introduced a friend to a quick lunch here. Brodard is bustling and popular as usual, the loudness might be a little off putting for some, but it's a staple activity here. Connor, the front host, was accommodating and direct about the waitlist times for seating and I appreciate his promptness on calling incoming guests on the Yelp List per their busy lunch rush. Jake, our server was quick to take our orders and ensured she'd love the food as a first timer here. I ordered the Lychee Black Tea to start and she ordered the Coco Sugarcane, both were sweet and refreshing--perfect for summer weather. Aiming for a light lunch, both of us ordered our set of spring rolls, which consisted of the Grilled Pork and Shrimp, and then the Rib Eye Rolls. The grilled spring rolls were tasty, savory with the complimentary sauce added a wholeness to meals. The Rib Eye rolls on the other hand had a savory complexity to it as the dipping sauce was sour and acidic, but it went well with the ribeye meat's sweetness. (I recommend going easy when dipping the ribeye roll into its accompanying sauce. My friend is definitely going to be coming here for lunch breaks. read more

This is a review for my to go phone order experience. This place is always so consistent and good. I phone in on my way to the restaurant it was 12:10pm on a Thursday. The person on the phone was easy to talk to and kind and took my order with no problem even on a busy time of day. She said it would take 10-15 min. I arrived right in time and the order was ready. I know this seems like a normal procedure but I've been here when it was packed and today was packed but it was still easy to order on the phone and pick up. The roles are amazing. Same every time. The sauce was perfect and the roles were amazing as always. When in a rush, easy, comforting and tastes amazing every time! Store was clean and tidy as always and food was flowing in the air. read more

Came here for a special birthday and enjoyed the deli food, great service, and cool vibe. Had the shaking beef, bodard special bun, pan fried rice noodles with seafood.

We really only come here for their infamous spring rolls! Love their grilled shrimp, veggie and pork spring rolls. If you want to order take-out, turn left and pick the pre-paid or unpaid line! Took at most 10 mins for our order. Super delicious and will always be a great option for a light lunch or dinner! read more

Parking: Large free parking plaza but very packed. Interior: HUGE venue to accommodate multiple large groups but also very packed. Ordered to go to not deal with this. The to go area is on the side for pick up. Wait Time: 15-20min for pick up and still 5min when I got there to pack items fresh. Items Order: 8/10 Nem Nuong 3 Rolls $8.25 - Spring roll was quite normal in terms of spring rolls standards. Sauce was served hot which was very good but flavor was also just good. Did not live up to the hype that it was best in LA but just solid. read more

One of my favorite spots in the OC! My friend had put me on to these Grilled Pork Spring Rolls (Nem Nướng Cuốn) many years ago and I love these! IYKYK. Brodard is one of those spots that has a following amongst the county or people like myself that enjoy these memorable rolls. The location is huge. There's a bar, many tables and booths for large parties and also another quick service line for bakery stuff. You can check in on the Yelp kiosk upon entering. We came here specialty just for rolls and browsed the menu to see how many more options they offer. My friend usually gets us the Grilled Pork ones to go when we come over to the house. During a recent visit, it wasn't too packed yet and we were sat immediately. We ended up getting Grill Pork Spring Rolls and Coconut Shrimps Rolls. These always hit the spot. Whether it's the crunchy and crispy textures with each bite or the orange "Mom's Sauce" you dip them in. These Nem Nướng Cuốn never disappoint! As for the Coconut Shrimp ones, they were solid too! Great mix of flavors with the avocado inside. Per the menu, there are over 10 spring rolls options/variations. I'd like to try them all. lol. When we're anywhere near this Brodard, I have to stop by and get some! It's that addicting! :D ( ^_^)b read more

Overall I would give this place a 4/5. Service is friendly and fast. We came on a Friday around 3pm and wasn't busy at all. Ambiance is modern but still casual dining. Me and my partner are frequent flyers here as well for their popular items the spring roll. Definitely can stay the best spring rolls in OC. Banh Canh - broth was watery when usually this dish is suppose to be a thicker broth. Flavor wise could be stronger with the crab/shimp. Flavor didn't stick well to noodles and thus just tasted like rice noodles with broth Bun Bo Hue - broth was also watery with a lack of flavor. I tasted a mild beefy/spicy broth but the same as the Banh Canh it could've been stronger. I tried better at other Vietnamese places. They do provide the fixings for the soup with nice meaty pieces and noodles cooked al dente. Nem Chua spring rolls - soft rice paper wrapping with veggie fixings inside and crispy egg roll wrapper inside. veggies tasted nice and fresh. Sauce pairs well without overpowering with a fish sauce taste with some sweetness. Banh Knot - crispy edges with a nice sweetness in flavor. Alone I didn't prefer it but should be eaten with the fixings. Egg rolls - good and crispy. Nice flavor with the nice fish sauce with sweetness noted after. Nothing special and taste the best with the veggie fixings. Drink (coco sugar cane) - different from other coco sugar cane drinks I tried. Has a fruity/citrus taste with a mild coconut taste. I wouldn't get this again but open to trying another drink Drink (sweet cream Thai Tea) - typical Thai tea. For me this was very sweet especially with the cream added. I had to water this down but flavor wise just tasted like a regular Thai tea. Overall, we will continue to come for the spring rolls and definitely open to trying other dishes/beverages. Their menu is pretty extensive so a few trips will be made :) read more

I go to Brodard's Restaurant on a regular basis, so much so that I have acquired the name of "The Boba Guy", . Mind you, I order more than boba. I usually finish my takeout order with an Almond Milk Tea with boba, and a Tiramisu dessert. The reason I am updating my review(s) is that today, May 23, 2026, I received the most gracious and heartwarming compliment from the cashier. I see her, and other familiar cashiers on a regular basis but I never asked her, or the other cashiers, their names. But I know their faces, and smiles, and they know mine. The compliment was... "you are like family." I told her I appreciated that. That compliment made my weekend and I will continue to make my weekly, or biweekly runs from Yorba Linda to Fountain Valley to support my family!! read more

Overall everything was pretty below par. Went Tuesday 2pm so not too busy. Shrimp + pork spring rolls were so skinny. So much veggies, I didnt even realize there was pork. I ordered shrimp and pork roll but there was only one sliver of pork in each one. It might as well have been. veggie spring roll. Beef stew- Little oily, wish it was more hot. Small for the price. would recommend the noodle dish instead Service was bad. Nobody came to refill water, they did come to check on how the food was but neglected to see that we both had no water. NO MINTS AFTER MEAL!!!!!! I am so used to eating a little peppermint after meals or some candies at viet restaurants but nothing. Highly disappointed. Never come here, your money will be more valuable elsewhere read more

Brodard Restaurant - Shrimp Spring Rolls Chao Tom Cuon - 2 Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

When we're visiting our friend, he usually orders the grilled pork spring rolls for us. Sometimes, my husband will also get their Bahn Mi sandwiches. This time, we decided to actually eat at the restaurant. We ordered the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls and I wanted to try their Coconut Shrimp Rolls. The Grilled Pork is always a good choice. The Coconut Shrimp really surprised us. It was really good! I loved the crunch from the coconut breading on the shrimp. There was also avocado and bits of mango that complimented the coconut flavor and added to the freshness. It was a great combination. I would definitely order that again. The restaurant and restroom were clean. The staff were friendly and attentive. My husband and I will continue to come back when we're in the area. read more

First time here and certainly won't be my last when I'm in the area! This open restaurant that soon got packed around lunch time delivered the hype. For lunch, we had the grilled pork spring rolls, which was a different and wonderful spring roll compared to what I typically have (with shrimp). The recommendation DELIVERED! Bun Bo hue was the main star with a delicious lemon grass broth and very tender beef. I couldn't recommend this enough, and I can't wait to get it again! The restaurant itself was clean, put together, with a bar area in the middle, with lots of seating. Definitely great for larger groups, but be sure to beat the crowds by coming a bit earlier than the lunch and dinner rushes, like I said before, it delivers! read more

Back in town and decided to order some rolls for takeout. I called ahead and by the time I went and waited in line to pay, the order was ready so it was nice and quick. Nem Nuong Rolls: they shrank the rolls, the meat is more thin, and they thinned out their infamous dipping sauce. What a shame. I wouldn't order them again!

We must be on a Vietnamese food kick this week, because for the second time this week we wanted some spring rolls, but this time we went for a little more authentic and we wanted Grilled Pork spring rolls, so the best place I know is Brodard's in Fountain Valley. This place is very popular evident by the crowds of people. This time I did not forget to get on the Yelp waitlist to shorten the physical wait time there. We got seated within five minutes from our arrival. As soon as we were sat, Tao Nguyen was our server snd you right away knew that he was a seasoned server. Not a100% sure of our order, he suggested right away some appetizers to get those going. When he came back to bring our drinks, our appetizer was served and we also placed our complete order. For as busy as they are here, the food came out very timely and everything as expected. For Asian restaurants, once our food was brought out, I did not expect anyone to stop by and check on us, but was I wrong. This lovely young lady who was not even our server came by to check on us if we needed anything and just in time to ask for some containers and a question. She even came back to refill my water. We were very happy with what we ordered. Two of the three items were our usual grilled pork spring rolls and the Shaken Beef with garlic noodles. The filet mignon is always so tender and prepared perfectly. We tried something new as well which was the tofu seaweed salad. Very light and refreshing, but next time we will probably 86 the mint leaves. Brodard is a definite must try for some good old Vietnamese food. read more

Loved everything I got to eat from Brodard Restaurant today. I placed the order ahead of time and I am glad I did. The place was absolutely jam packed. Both the dining room and take out side was a chaotic mess. Parking was unavailable near the restaurant so I ended up having to park closer to the grocery store side. The food quality absolutely made it worth it despite the difficulties with parking and the long wait despite placing my order ahead of time. The seafood rice noodles were jam packed with savory vegetables, soft and well seasoned noodles and smorgasbord of seafood medley. The spring rolls were unexpectedly crunchy and extremely filling. I could eat both items daily and certainly wouldn't get sick of it. I can't wait to return and try their other items! read more

Early Saturday afternoon meal with family. Relatives Yelp waitlisted on our way in and we checked in once we were all parked. Waiting was 15-20 minutes. Once seated we got menus, water and utensils. Service was great for such a large restaurant. We ordered shrimp rolls, pork rolls, shrimp satay and a few other items. Everything was fresh and delicious. Probably the top spring roll I've had. Iced coffee was strong and good. Ordered another to go. Regretting not ordering spring rolls to go. read more

The beef and garlic noodles were a 4/5. Flavor was great, but for the price it was on the smaller size. The restaurant looked large and had plenty of seating.

Since our first visit, I've been a fan of this restaurant. One of my favorites is the grilled shrimp paste spring rolls. Whenever I order something else, I regret not getting these. I can have 4 rolls for lunch and be satisfied. Their other rolls are also good and are popular. My husband likes their beef salad. There's a generous portion of beef, which I also see with orders of their garlic noodles. I'm not sure what their secret is, but the beef is always tender and flavorful. This restaurant is usually busy, but lately we've been able to get a table as long as we're not with a large party. There's a waitlist at the front, but we've been pretty lucky. Parking is plentiful as they share a huge lot with Albertsons and some other businesses. I'd eat here more often if they were closer. Knocking off a star because the restrooms are filthy and I'd avoid them if possible. read more

We came to try Brodard during lunch time on a Thursday and it was busy! I recommend joining the Yelp waitlist beforehand. I've heard so many good things about the nem nuong and it did not disappoint. It was $11 for 4 rolls. The sauce was really the star. I also tried the banh canh and it was good. Nothing too spectacular. I will say the bowl is deceptive and is a bunch more than I expected. read more

The last time I dined in here was back in 2019 when I was with my whole family. Fast forward to last Sunday, I came back with my wife and son and we fell in love again. We loved their pork spring rolls with their sweet dipping sauce and chili sauce. We ordered a pack of 4 ($11) and the taste was still the same. The size is still big too which is great. I totally regret not buying more. We also liked their Luna rice cakes with shrimp. These tasted just like Banh Xeo pancakes. They came in like 7 pieces and tasted so good with the fish sauce. I enjoyed my garlic noodles with shaking beef. It was delicous but I will say, it's not worth paying the $28. It was small portion and not satisfying. I actually should've just ordered 8 pieces of spring rolls instead to myself. My wife had their Bun Bo Hue which was just ok. This one had too many tendons and gelatin meat in it. The flavors aren't as good as the ones we have up here in San Jose. It wasn't as good. Their Viet iced coffee is creamy and sweet which is good. We did like this coffee drink and would order it again. This place brought me back so many memories. I want to come back again for more! read more

My boyfriend loves this place. He wanted me to try them out so we came here while we were in SoCal for our Disneyland trip. We came on a Wednesday night and they were not busy. They do offer waitlist on Yelp as an option. The ambiance is a bit dark but a really nice looking Vietnamese restaurant. There is a huge bar and dessert shop in the front. We got the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls and Short Rib Bourguignon. Spring rolls were fresh, pork was tender, added texture from the crispy skin from the filling. The dipping sauce was really good. Short rib was super tender and flavorful. A bit too strong of the alcohol taste in the sauce for my liking. Baguette was fresh but not as soft as I like. Service was great. Plenty of parking. read more

My go to OC Vietnamese place. TIP: Always use the Yelp waitlist so that your drive time is part of your wait time. More efficient. To go orders are paid at the same dessert register. You can order online/pay online for a faster pick up. My go to order is Vietnamese Crepes. Now in new containers. Also the Grilled Pork Soring Rolls best eaten warm with that delicious sauce. Yum. Brodard will be opening a new location in Long Beach and I can't wait. Ok, bye. read more

What a wonderful experience! We came for the rolls as part of a progressive lunch and they did not disappoint. Seating at the restaurant is spacious, tables aren't right on top of each other. There's also bar seating complete with big screens tv. We ordered the duck rolls, seared ahi rolls and the vegetarian rolls. The roast duck was outstanding and the veggie roll delicious. The ahi roll didn't have enough flavor however, that's just my personal preference. Server was super friendly and informative. And our food arrived in a timely fashion. Can't wait to return for a complete meal. The menu is varied and the food on the tables near us was also beautifully presented. Their bakery ( within the restaurant) offers lots of mouthwatering treats, too. Plenty of free parking around the restaurant. It's a popular spot so may have a little wait at peak hours. read more

The spring rolls here are so good! I have a peanut allergy, so the staff was very accomodating in giving me a different kind of sauce that wasn't the usual peanut sauce for these. The interior of Brodard is always pretty busy! This is a very popular restaruant so expect a wait if you go during peak hours, especially on weekend afternoons after peak church hours or dinner time. I've also had their shrimp spring rolls at a catered event, and when they do catering they go crazy, giving plenty of sauce that you can sauce up your spring rolls to your hearts content. The spring rolls themselves are flavorful and bouncy and the wrappers never taste old or too chewy from sitting out, and the pork or shrimp always pair wonderfully with the sauce that they gave me in substitution for the peanut sauce. If i recall correctly it was more of a fish sauce kinda thing. Only con is that when we did go, it took a while for all of our table to get our food, and by the time they did, everyone else had already finished eating. So I think that would be one thing that they could improve on for any future visits if I end up back at Brodards. read more

Brodard Restaurant - Spring rolls, pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Finally got to try the infamous grilled pork (aka nem nuong) spring rolls during a recent trip to Westminster. I ordered a 4-pack to-go and with how busy Brodard was for patrons wanting to dine inside and many others like me with to-go orders, the quoted wait time was 15-20 minutes. I feel like I waited at least 25 minutes to get one dinky order fulfilled. I'll get off my soapbox now. Once we got our food, my first observation was how the sauce was still warm (which I appreciate), and the spring rolls were freshly made. I would say at least three spring rolls will be enough to get someone full but they're kind of skimpy with the grilled pork since there was only one piece in each spring roll so to each their own. The vegetables were a nice complement as they tasted fresh and crispy. I think what made Brodard's spring roll stand out vs. others surprisingly wasn't the sauce for me but the crunchy fried inclusion. The sauce leaned a bit sweet for me so I wasn't as impressed. I've made versions of their sauce at home courtesy of TikTok so I expected it to be more savory. Overall, I'd come back here again but I'll try dining in next time to get the full experience. read more
