I wasn't even looking for Bun Rieu... and somehow found the best one I've ever had. I originally stumbled upon Bun Rieu Ganh while searching for BBH, and for some reason this place popped up instead. I'm very glad it did. I stopped in around 11 AM on a Saturday and quickly realized I wasn't the only one who had discovered this spot. It was already packed, and there was a pretty long wait, but clearly they've earned their fan base. They keep the menu simple with just two dishes: Bun Rieu and Canh Bun. I went with the Bun Rieu, and as someone who is extremely picky about this dish, I can honestly say it's probably the best I've ever had. The broth is incredibly flavorful without being overly salty, and they are not shy with the toppings. There was plenty of meat and a generous amount of vegetables, which I really appreciated. Despite the crowd, service moves quickly because they need to keep things turning over, and honestly, I love that for us. You're not sitting around forever waiting for your food. They also give you a little silken tofu dessert at the end, which is such a nice touch and the perfect little sweet treat after the meal. I've already been back twice since my first visit and can easily see this becoming a once-a-week kind of place. Sometimes the best finds are the ones you weren't even looking for.
Pretty small restaurant, and the name speaks for itself. They only have bun rieu and canh bun, doesn't need to show you the menu. Beware of the strong shrim paste smell when you walk in. I was expecting authentic bun rieu from the North, but this is Southern style. There's no ricefield crab paste.
Pretty good! Two soups and a bowl of meat were $35. The crab balls were delicious. Tofu and sausage with standard and then they asked if we wanted the blood cubes specifically. I've only had this dish a few times and I thought this broth was a little more bland than other places but once I added chili that fixed the problem. Overall I definitely enjoyed it and would consider going back.
The name of this restaurant is well known in Vietnam. Luckily no line at lunch time on a Friday and didn't have to wait long. They serve only two items. No menu just Bun rieu and Canh Bun. We got one of each. Both are the same exact seafood tomato shrimp/crab broth but canh bun has thicker noodles similar to bun Bo hue noodles and it has water spinach. Otherwise both have pork blood, shrimp/crab paste balls, tofu puffs, tomatoes. I wouldn't call this broth rich in flavor like most reviews. It is Unami but very light and mild on the shrimp/crab smell. That's where you can add in your fermented shrimp paste that's given on the side to add that funky flavor with a plate of banana blossom. There are additional sauces on the table, I used salt and pepper with the tamarind sauce to dip. My family rates 5/5. For me, 3.5 round to 4. I like the stronger bold balanced flavors, they like it mild.
This isn't a very big restaurant, but it was pretty busy when I stopped by. The place still looked fairly new, and everything inside was clean. The bowl of bún riêu was a good size, and I thought it was pretty good. It may not be my favorite, especially compared with Bún Riêu Gánh near Bến Thành Market in Vietnam, but I thought it was a little better than some of the other bún riêu places nearby. I was happy to see morning glory and banana blossom served on the side, just the way I like my bún riêu. The staff were friendly, and the food came out quickly. Parking really depends on what time you go. Sometimes it's easy to find a spot, and other times it can be a little challenging during busy hours.
Came here on a weekend with my family. My sister had been wanting to try this place for a while, so we decided to give it a try since it was close to our house. The wait wasn't too long, but I was a little disappointed to find out that they didn't have a regular menu available that day. They were only offering two dishes Bun Rieu and Canh Bun. I wish we had been notified about this before being seated because we would have chosen to come another day if we had known. My family ended up ordering the Bun Rieu. The broth was flavorful, although a little on the salty side. Unfortunately, the crab meat itself lacked flavor, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I think the experience could have been better if we had known beforehand about the limited menu. I would be willing to come back another day to try their other dishes.
I was craving bun rieu and came here with my family. It satisfied the craving but it wasn't the best I've had. It's not that potent in its flavor. I'd give it 3/5 stars. My brother has a nut allergy and sometimes the paste they use to make bun rieu triggers the allergy. He was affected by this bun rieu. It was $69.88 for 4 bowls.
Literally two items on the menu. Canh bun or bun rieu. Apparently they almost the same. One has different noodles and has boiled spinach aka rau muong. Love the broth. Not too salty or sweet. Portions was right on point. They also sell a lot of chrysanthemums tea but I didn't try. Will next time. Great spot. Great parking linited menu but what they offer is good
Bun Rieu Ganh is such an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. You know this restaurant is bomb when there's only two items on the menu - bun rieu or bun canh. We came here on a Tuesday afternoon and the restaurant was packed with Vietnamese families. We obviously got the bun rieu and a nuoc mia (sugarcane juice). The bun rieu came out quickly and was piping hot. The noodle soup came with so much various proteins and a side of fresh veggies/herbs. The broth was so umami and everything you would want from a crab tomato noodle soup. I love bun rieu and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I also love the sugarcane juice that had a hint of calamansi.
This place didn't give me a menu and then asked what I wanted to eat. I assumed the only thing they serve is bun rieu, but later on, I saw an overheard other people ordering something different like canh bun and fried rice-- wished we were informed there were other dishes even if we knew we were just going to come to eat bun rieu-- just to know or see! Overall, service is not good even if they have a lot of people working. They were really busy all the tables were taken except one when I came. I will say though, this is the best restaurant bun rieu I've had in SoCal! If you are a fan of this dish, definitely come, try it! It is so delicious. It comes with pork blood cubes, cha (pork load) morning glory/ong choy, tofu, and some pork crab meatballs. I just wished the portion of noodles was bigger-- noodle portion is smaller than usual. There were a lot of condiments on the table which I appreciated, and they gave all of the vegetables on the side with amazing fresh herbs. Instead of regular limes, they used calamansi limes, which was a really nice touch and definitely enhanced the umami flavor of the shrimp paste and the broth.
They only specialize in one dish and that is all that they serve. No menu. We didn't even know how much each bowl cost until we paid for it. Broth was pretty light. I've never seen kumquat to squeeze in the broth before. I needed more.. love the variety of toppings in the dish. It had all the components of what is in a bun rieu dish.
To whoever uploaded menu photos to Yelp: Who hurt you? Why did you lie? When we showed the servers the photos of the menus, they looked at us like we were showing them blueprints to Area 51 and insisted no menu has ever existed in this dimension. Instead, they hit us with the ultimate minimalist ultimatum. You get two food choices and two drink choices. That's it. You are either Team Bun Rieu or Team Bun Canh. Since we are a highly cooperative cult, we split it down the middle: 4 and 4, all the way across. The Food Breakdown (Prices Unknown): 01. Bun Rieu Ganh (not sure what the dish cost was) - 3.5 Stars - The broth arrived tasting clean, which is a polite way of saying it was bland. But then you introduce the "Stronger Than Death" Shrimp Paste and chili. WARNING: A microscopic speck will alter your DNA. Do not dump the entire amount of sauce they give you into your bowl...a little goes a very long way. Right as we pulled up the noodles, a stray hair made a cameo appearance. The server panicked and swapped it out for a new bowl, we appreciated it. 02. Bun Canh (not sure what the dish cost was) - 4 Stars - This looked identical to the first bowl but tasted infinitely better. It came with water spinach, fried shallots, and a broth that actually had a personality. Perfect balance of umami and sweetness, this was the MVP of the table. The Kitchen MVP: Whoever is back there washing the herbs deserves a corporate promotion, a dental plan, and a key to the city. I have never seen such pristine, sparkling vegetables at a Vietnamese restaurant. 03. Sugarcane Drink (not sure what they charged us) - 4 Stars - Refreshing, semi-frozen, and not aggressively sweet. Highly approved. 04. Chrysanthemum Tea (not sure what they charged us) - 4 Stars - Served in a bottle instead of a cup, tasted vaguely like coconut, and kept us alive. Lightly sweetness and color but very refreshing. PARKING - It's in the same plaza as Seafood Palace (IYKYK) and next to the pool hall. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Look, just keep repeating the mantra: "They are in a soft opening... they are in a soft opening..." The service was pure, unadulterated chaos. Spoons were missing. Napkins were a myth. Drinks were forgotten. At the end of our meal, they just hit us with a random number, didn't give us a receipt, and we blindly handed over our credit cards. I'm pretty sure I paid for a bowl of noodles and a small fraction of their commercial lease. VERDICT - If you don't speak Vietnamese and don't like Culinary Russian Roulette, wait a few months until they hone down on their operations. The Bun Canh was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way unless I was already next door. We all agreed that the broth was luke warm and not steaming hot. It would taste better if the broth was steaming hot. Dear Owners: Please buy a single sharpie and a piece of cardboard and write down what you sell. It would be great to know what the ingredients are for the Non-Viet folks. We believe in you.
My wife has a new favorite Vietnamese soup and was in the mood for it again today. That soup being bun rieu. We wanted to try a nice place so we made the drive out to Westminster and tried out Bun Rieu Ganh. First thing is don't be put off with the shape of the strip mall, it's actually quite clean and modern inside that restaurant. The staff will greet you once you walk in the door, but be ready to get your Vietnamese on, because they will default to it. I am of Vietnamese decent and feel like I can just barely get by when I come into little Saigon. In any case, they have only have bun rieu and bun canh on the menu. Mostly the same thing with the bun canh coming with thicker rice noodles and morning glory greens. The bun rieu comes with a dish of different veggies. Besides those differences but soups are the same. The broth is very distinct and they give you a small little container of the shrimp paste for those looking for more umami flavor. You will get pork meatloaf cuts, pork blood, fried tofu, and pork meat balls that are made with egg and crab meat. Tomato halves are also a staple of the broth and was quite tasty. The serving size is actually right on the spot. Not too small, and not the huge helpings that we've gotten at other places. Overall, the food was good, the service was friendly but a little hard to understand if you aren't fluent in Vietnamese. I would come again when I'm in the area, but I don't know if it was worth the hour drive out to little Saigon.

I loved eating my grandmothers bun rieu growing up. This place just showed up on my maps and I figured I had to try. The fact that they only serve bun rieu should already be a green flag. The flavor is amazing and worth as visit. Its different than the three crab flavor all home-cooks use at home from the market. Even thought it tastes different, its just a fantastic dish. A little bit of shrimp paste and lime at the end bring the flavor to another level. Also, the that chill is spicy so heads up. Easy 5/5, just expect a wait. read more
The menu at Bun Rieu Ganh is definitely on the short side--kind of the Vietnamese food version of In-N-Out. But hey, nothing wrong with sticking to what you do best! The focus here is pretty much bún riêu and variations of their Vietnamese crab and tomato noodle soup. Instead of trying to offer 100 different dishes, they keep it simple and crank out bowls of what people actually come here for. I can appreciate that! The restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating, so don't be surprised if there's a wait. It's also in a shopping center with quite a few other restaurants, so parking can get a little interesting around dinner time. Small menu, small restaurant, big following. Sometimes you don't need 10 pages of choices when you already know what you're good at. read more

Bun Rieu Ganh specializes in, you guess it, Bun Rieu and it's absolutely, hands-down the best Bun Rieu in town! As I'm still fairly new to some of the Vietnamese dishes, my girlfriend is the one who recommend this spot and you can count that we'll be coming back again when we're in the mood for some Bun Rieu! What is Bun Rieu? As for as my knowledge, Bun Rieu is a crab rice noodle soup with a meat broth mixed with tomatoes, shrimp paste and fish sauce! Included are meatballs made with shrimp, crab and pork. Then you have your pork blood (the brownish cube) and it can't be a Vietnamese dish with the herbs and veggies! If you enjoy spice, I highly recommend adding in some chili to your soup for that added kick! For the 2 times we've visited, the one thing we immediately noticed is that locals flocked to this restaurant and we already knew this is it. This is the spot. There will be a wait as it is a smaller restaurant but it's worth the wait. Atmosphere is calm with some noise level but for the most part it won't distract you from enjoying your meal. Keep in mind this is the only dish they serve (as of June 6, 2026) and are the BEST at. Compliments to the Chef! There are many other nearby restaurants and boba shops nearby so plenty of places to visit after eating. Parking is pretty open but the spots near the front are always nearly taken so you'll probably have to park more inner if you're visiting a little after dinner time rush kicks in. One thing is for sure, we'll be visiting again real soon! Thank you everyone at Bun Rieu Ganh for a delicious meal! read more

This restaurant serves a couple of items, but the Bun Rieu is the true star here. One of the best bowls of bun rieu I've had. Very clean broth with plenty of ingredients. Adding the chili really gave it a spicy kick. The shrimp paste is stronger than what I'm used to, so a little will go a long way. Service was super quick. Our food came out within 5 minutes of placing our order. Restaurant was clean. There's a bit of a wait since they do get pretty busy, especially on the weekends. read more
I was searching yelps - hot and new restaurants and discovered this soup shop on route to Little Saigon. They just opened a few days prior so the timing was perfect. Parking is shared since it's located in a sizable strip center. The inside is newly remodeled, and they did an impressive job. Currently the menu is only bun Rieu but I was impressed with the flavor, quality of broth and even the condiments were fresh and enhanced the soup. I was really impressed with the service and quality of the Bun Rieu here, so this is my new go to eatery for Bun Rieu. read more

If you want bun rieu, come try this place. This restaurant has only 2 dish bún riêu and canh bún, very simple but the bun rieu is one of the best in OC. They also have great service which is a plus! The tra tac is very refreshing but sour for some ppl. They also give you a complimentary silken tofu dessert thats really good. read more
They are still in their soft opening phase, as they currently only serve their bun rieu noodle soups (tomato crab vermicelli rice noodle soup) at the moment. Our server said they will have their full menu available in about 2 weeks. Regardless, the reason my family and I tried this place, was because of their focus on bun rieu, a regional dish of Vietnam. So we each had a bowl of the bun rieu and it was very authentic and delicious. Broth had depth and was not overly oily (which can happen with some places). The tofu, pork blood jelly cubes, steamed pork loaf (cha), fried tofu, and crab topping were made well, cooked right and flavorful. They served the correct veggie/herb toppings too: banana blossom, stripped ong choy, mung bean sprouts, Vietnamese purple shiso leaves, and slices of kumquat (instead of lime or lemon). They also gave us complimentary desserts: silken tofu in syrup with boba. Venue is cozy, so there was a wait of about 15 minutes for our midweek lunch. Plenty of parking in this outdoor shopping plaza. read more
Of all the BUN, BuN rieu had always been my fav. When my mom asked me to try this place, I said sure without hesitation. We came on a weekday and there was a line. We waited about 20 minutes to get a table. Right when I walked in, I smelled a very strong odor. Not sure if that was a good thing... I love crabs, but the smell didn't smell so good. I think they only served Bun Rieu during my visit. Not sure about now. When the bowls arrived, it looked decent. A very simple bowl of bun rieu. A little of everything. Portion was honestly small for the price, imo. The broth was ok, imo. My mom thought it was a tad too sweet. Growing up eating bun rieu, I wouldn't say this place was not authentic. It was just pretty average, imo. Service was whatever. Nothing to praise about. Will return if someone wanna try it... read more
They only served Bun Rieu as they're still in soft opening mode. Place garners a waitlist as it was fully booked during my visit. The Broth has a slight sweetness to it. The fermented shrimp paste and satay chili oil definitely gives more depth to the flavor. Quality 5/5 Fresh herbs Portions 5/5- Generous as consisted of 3 blood cubes, 3 plump fried tofus, and 2 crab patties balls, and 1 piece Viet ham aka (cha). Taste 4/5 They serve a lot of broth which is nice if you want to pack a small 14 ounce to go container to savor for later consumption. Service Fast- while team works in unison. What could improve is if they add more ground pork to their crab patties. They a have different twist on their style as there are small morsel of dried shrimps added to the bowl. Overall a great place for Bun Rieu! Be wary you may get hungry soon after as these types of soups aren't heavy in filling. read more

OC is known for the best of the best Vietnamese food. There is no shortage of pho, banh mi, or bun bo hue restaurants ... but there are not a lot of places that specializes in bun Rieu (let alone well). Bun rieu ganh, while still very new, seems to have opened with a bang and fill that void. Still in their soft opening they are only serving bun rieu at the moment. Their Bun Rieu is so good and fresh. You can really taste the crab in the meatballs (Rieu). It's definitely both quality and quantity cause I was so full after. I went with my parents and it was viet parents approved so definitely must try if you're craving a different style viet soup and are in the area. read more

When we went at 10am on Tuesday morning, there was already people eating inside and a line forming. Six parties ahead of us but we were seated within 15 min. No physical menu, not even something placed up on the wall. Waitress told us she only had canh bun and bun rieu--we ordered one of each without knowing the price. Both essentially had the same broth and items in the soup, difference only with bigger noodles and the addition of morning glory with the canh bun. $15.99 a bowl. We didn't get the free dessert that other reviewers had mentioned Authentic, they used real crab and they don't seem to skimp on the cha, pork blood, tofu,veggies. Would come back again if I'm craving for bun rieu. read more
Bún Riêu Gánh , First time visiting and overall a good experience. The bún riêu was tasty, and compared to other restaurants in the area, this place feels one of the closest to authentic Vietnamese flavor. The staff really stood out -- fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone was attentive and helpful, not just one person. The restaurant isn't very large, but it's clean, organized, and comfortable. Parking is spacious and easy to find, which is always a plus. read more

Got here at 4pm on a Friday. Just in time to get ahead of the crowd. Small interior with limited seating. Bright and welcoming interior with an amazing painted mural. Their bun rieu was indeed as delicious as others have raved. Don't expect to find other dishes available. We weren't even offered a menu. We'll be back, it was good. read more
If there are any questions about what type of food is served at this place, the name of this restaurant says it all... Crab Paste Noodle Soup Stall. That is the only item they sell here. And they have done it exceptionally well. The noodles had a nice bite. The broth is clear yet flavorful. The crab paste is full of morsels of crab, and the accompanied tofu is soft yet just the right amount of chewyness. To complete the ensemble of the bowl is the flavorful congealed blood pudding had that right snap when you bite into it. A nice touch is the use of calamansi instead of lime, which provided a nice fragrant full of flavors that is not too tart if a lime is used. Being that the place only has one dish, the service was efficient and quick. The restaurant has a huge mural depicting a busy city street scene with the lady and her "gánh" of bún riêu (her mobile food stall). The mural gives the restaurant the vibe of the busy Sài Gòn street food scene, a nice touch. Overall, it's a worhtwhile repeat, and will satisfy your cravings for a nice bowl of bún riêu. read more
Excellent bowl of Bun Rieu and that is the only item on their menu. A long line at 13:00 pm on Monday afternoon here at this new restaurant Bun Rieu Ganh which means to carry on your shoulders on long stick as traditionally sold in the South of Vietnam and on river boats. They have 5 service staff to help customers to bring fresh hot crab noodle soup made from a traditional recipe in the South of Vietnam. This dish really appeals to many customers living around the community of Little Saigon. A simple dish but getting all the ingredients together and making it delicious for everyone to enjoy not so simple. I highly recommend you try this place and give crab noodle soup your vote of confidence today. Enjoy!! read more

I usually don't write reviews but I think this is an honorable mentioned. There's not many place in OC that specializes in bun rieu specifically -- but this spot was a hit! We came in on a Sunday -- soft opening & it's super packed. They're currently serving 1 dish which is bun rieu, so the wait wasn't that bad. They serve kumquat instead of lime (taking it back to vietnam) -- which I loved. The broth was rich & the fresh chili added a kick. Would def be back. If there's one thing that they're missing on the menu -- it would be canh bún. Overall -- highly recommend on giving it a try! read more

The Bún Riêu here is 10/10 for authenticity and flavor, but the environment and service need a major upgrade. The shop is unorganized: no greeting, no menu, and the serving order is random (others were served before me despite arriving later). Most importantly, the cleanliness was poor, with trash on the floor and stained chairs. Great food deserves a clean space to be enjoyed properly. I hope they improve because the flavor is worth it. read more
My family & I came by during their soft opening & I'm so glad we did. This place is a fantastic addition! They specialize in Bún riêu & it was absolutely spot on. The broth was rich, savory, full of depth with that perfect balance of crab & tomato. Loaded with vermicelli noodles, tofu, fresh herbs & all the traditional elements. Every bite tasted authentic & comforting. Our whole family loved it, which says a lot--and even my baby grandson enjoyed it! The restaurant itself was very clean & had such a warm, welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere. Service was very welcoming, especially for a soft opening. You can really tell there's heart & tradition behind the food here. Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes & see them thrive! Come join me! read more

Not only did they bring authentic Southern Vietnamese-style/Saigon-style bún riêu here (which is a bit milder compared to Northern style), but they also brought the warmth and hospitality that I remember from Southern Vietnam/Saigon. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and respectful. They often begin their sentences with "Dạ," a Vietnamese expression of courtesy and respect, and they sincerely thank every customer as they leave. Those small details may seem simple, but they create a welcoming atmosphere that feels genuinely authentic. During my visit, I had a small issue with my food, and the staff immediately stepped in to make it right. Their attentiveness and genuine care left a lasting impression on me. I spent part of my childhood in Saigon, and this experience brought back so many memories. The hospitality, customer care, and attention to detail reminded me of the way businesses there treat their customers: with warmth, respect, and appreciation. The restaurant is also very clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From the food to the service, everything felt like a trip back to my childhood. I will definitely be coming back. read more
