C&C Express is a fast food style eatery inside a food court and while some items looked appetizing and some do not (I'm not a snails person and I see many people order snails) this review is for the fresh sugarcane drinks which hits the spot on a hot day. Can't go wrong with fresh sugarcane drinks. Check out my pics! read more

The good: I got nuoc mia (sugar cane drink) here for $6 for the smaller (still a lot of volume even though it is a small). It is a full container because they fill it without ice. They make it fresh to order and you can see them run the sugar cane through the machine. They also sell a HUGE variety of different things that include sautéed snails, bi (pork) rolls, ice cream with various jellies, banh bot loc packaged in a to-go styrofoam plate, banh da lon, banh canh (udon noodles), and so much more. It's in a food court-like area with indoor seating. The person working the sugar cane machine was outgoing and friendly. The bad: The parking lot at this mall can get crowded. The interesting: They're located inside Asian Garden Mall (Phuoc, Loc, Tho) and are on the bottom floor on the left. read more

Amazing service, and the food is great quality as well! Their sugar cane juice is to die for, and you can see them make it fresh when you order it. My personal recommendation is the com tam; every time I think of somewhere reliable go to, this restaurant is my comfort pick. Some other things I would recommend would be their fresh, crunchy egg rolls and their noodle dishes. All of the workers are also super nice! Parking in general at the mall can be a bit busy, but in my opinion it is worth the wait. Lovely experience, atmosphere, and ambiance. read more

This spot doesn't have price listed for food items because it's very expensive and old quality food. You'd b surprised how ripped off you're bound to get here read more

Located in the Asian Garden Mall's food court. They provide numerous types of Vietnamese soups. They also serve various Vietnamese foods including oc and balut eggs (both in tamarind sauce and with quail eggs). We ordered some banh canh tom cua to-go. I also observed them cooking fresh nem chua and requested some to eat as we waited for the soup. It was really nice! So I went back and bought another tray, lol. read more

One of the only food spots inside the Asian Garden Mall that takes credit card and Apple Pay. + Bun Bo Hue Chay: Hard to mess up! The broth was a bit on the sweeter side and the protein were good. Gotta love vegetarian Vietnamese ham. + Bun Thit Nuong: The pork was not great. Chewy, cut into strange-sized bites, and a bit dry. The seasoning was not very good either. Not sweet nor savory. Lacked flavor. Too much black pepper. + Nuoc Mia: Freshly squeezed right when you order! Not bad portions and the styrofoam keeps the drink warm for quite a while. read more

Make sure when you are inside the Asian Garden mall in Westminster swing by C&C express and check out all their food most especially their juices we ordered the duck egg. It's kind of gross to eat, but it's really good egg. We also ordered sugarcane juice I need was really satisfying service really fast and they always serve you with a Located on Bolsa Ave., in Westminster is this nice Vietnamese Mall. They have ample parking but they do get busy during the weekends and holidays. We came on a Sunday afternoon so the crowd wasn't that much. We have been coming here several times before I made a review and so far all the vendors on the first and second floors are all nice and accommodating. They have all kinds of street food so better come in hungry. I would suggest for first timers to always browse each food vendor and amaze yourself with all the choices they and then finally make your decision. You can never go wrong with all the food choices that you make because they're all good. read more

C & C Express - Taste awful $17 for both. Never come back - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

We usually get the snail in coconut soup here. Lots of traditional sweets up for grabs by the cashier area. Mochi is always a good option. The chewy soft sticky layer cake thing is a nice snack. The sticky rice colorful thing isn't my thing but people seem to like it. The street snacks like skewers or fried stuff or eggroll is a steal. Can be a bit of a challenge if you don't speak vietnamese but luckily you can just grab or point! This establishment has been here for a while. Glad it's still in business thru pandemic. read more

If you want to get a taste and ambiance of VietNam before really going to the old country , this little express street food is a good sampling. Yes it's located in a mall food court but it is The Asian Garden Mall! The first mall to be named first Asian something in little saigon . You should try one of each of everything on display ranging from coconut snails to simple egg rolls. Good shapes from round to oblong to rectangular, all is pretty good for the uninitiated. read more

Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Would definitely eat here again. Owner was very friendly and there was a great variety of food. Egg rolls are a definite 10/10 as well as the escargot. The flavor is exquisite and out of this world. read more

I have been craving for Vietnamese (óc) escargot for a million of years and I didn't need to fly accross the world to get these authentic escargot. I left this little place stuffed, super happy and satisfied!! They have all kinds of asian escargot (snails). My favorite is the Mud Creeper sea snails fried in a mild green curry style coconut sauce. The flavor is beyond this world, creamy, saucy, coco-nuty. But to eat these, you have to really head in their shells to take out the meats, which can sometimes be challenging and time consuming. But once you get to eat the whole thing, everything will just melt in your mouth (drooling). The sell these in 3 size cups and prices range from $5-$20 & some change depending what you order. Everything else I had here are all amazing and I highly recommend this place, located inside the food court of Phuov Loc Tho mall. read more

We decided to give this place a try after walking around the mall. I ordered the Banh Canh Tom Cua. Hubs liked it and thought it was a good alternative. He preferred pho or bun bo hue but he was on Lent. Banh Canh Tom Cua had eggs and eggs overruled. We also ordered Banh Khot and the spring rolls. Banh Khot was ok and the spring rolls were pretty good. The rolls were pretty herbaceous. He loves it when they're generous with the herbs. Service was pretty friendly and quick. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

C&C is the best of the best when it comes to Escargot|SnaiL offerings. Three stars simpLy for the coconut snaiLs- this is a must have whenever I stop by Phuc Loc Tho MaLL. There are 4 different sizes of styrofoam cups to choose from, ranging from $6-16.50. The price is forever changing [INCREASING] yet I find myseLf constantLy coming back. My visits here consist of my typicaL snaiL snacks but C&C does offer noodLe soups, porridge, baby duck eggs, and fresh pressed sugarcane juice. There are tabLes and chairs for you to enjoy your food but be aware that this estabLishment is very "seLf serve" and the workers often negLect to wipe down the tabLes. read more

SNAILS IN COCONUT SAUCE! YUM! So I was in the Asian Garden Mall today and walked around the food court area twice until I figured out what I wanted to snack on. FOUND IT - SNAILS IN COCONUT SAUCE! I was just at another stall trying the snails for the first time. I thought I wanted to try another version of the snails to compare how it is made (It's the amateur chef in me). So I'm walking around the food court, and this cute old Vietnamese husband and wife (owners?) of C&C Express began to talk to me in Vietnamese and invited me into their store (Note: I'm not Vietnamese, nor do I speak the language. I just smiled and nodded my head like I understood what they were saying - all to be polite!). Then, it came time to order. I wanted those snails again! C&C Express offered a small portion of snails (with the tops chopped off) cooked in some kind of coconut / fish sauce / basil sauce. It was $5 for a one-scoop serving (which was more than enough). Apparently, you are supposed to suck one side of the snail and because they chopped one side of the shell off, the snails/slugs come shooting out. So here I was in the middle of the Vietnamese food court, sucking on the snails and making a LOT of noise trying to get these little critters out of their shells. SOOOO CUTE - two MORE (see my other review) little old Vietnamese grandmothers passed me and said something loud to me in Vietnamese and gave me the biggest smile! My best guess is they must have said something like "You look like you are enjoying your meal!" or "You GO Boy and suck those snails!". LOL! it was a lot of fun to eat it. Gotta admit, the snails were more tasty at C&C than they were at Dakao (the other food vendor around the corner). I was sooo excited about the food, I decided to get a LARGE surgar cane juice drink. The cute little man got three stalks of sugar cane and put it into the "crusher" (lack of the technical term for the machine) and made fresh sugar cane juice for me. YUMMAGE!!!!! I actually liked this sugar care drink a LOT becasue they did not try to infuse kumquat juice in it to kill the bite. This juice tasted authentic (kinda sweet and grassy). C&C has good tasting food, reasonable prices, and some CUTE OLD GRANDMA/GRANDPA owners who work so hard!!!! I'll be back! read more

C & C Express - Snails with coconut broth. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

C&C Express is a Vietnamese restaurant located inside the Phuoc Loc Tho (Asian Garden Mall) food court in Little Saigon. The eatery specializes in snails, snacks, snails, che (Vietnamese pudding), and more snails. Seriously, I've never seen so many pre-cooked varieties of snails. The snails sit inside a glass display, buffet-style, so you can point and choose what you want. Other restaurants inside the food court serve snails too, but we decided to eat this one because it seemed to have the best selection. I tried the big snails in garlic sauce and the little snails in coconut sauce. Not bad. Both were soaking in sauce and quite flavorful. A Styrofoam cupful of snails costs $5 each. Cash only. It's a little pricey, especially when you consider how much space the snail shells take up. The amount of meat you actually get to eat is small. The big snails in garlic sauce come with a tiny side of vinegar chili sauce. Since these are larger snails, you'll need to use toothpicks to dig them out of their shells. Be careful because once the snail pops out from its shell, sauce can come flying at you. The big snails have "soles" at the bottom of the meat (kind of like feet), which are hard and inedible. The little snails in coconut sauce are decidedly sweet. Since these snails are smaller, you can just suck the meat out of the shells. The texture and consistency of snail meat is smooth and slimy. It's not for everyone, but I think most people should try it at least once in their lifetime. C&C Express also sells a nice assortment of Vietnamese snacks and you can even make your own Vietnamese pudding here. They have all the sweet and colorful jellies and beans laid out so you can pick and choose what you want in your drink. Nice. read more

Located in the Asian Garden Mall, in the food court. They offer several different kinds of Vietnamese soups. They also sell other Vietnamese eats such as oc, balut eggs (in tamarind sauce and also quail eggs too). We ordered some banh canh tom cua to go. Also saw them making fresh nem chua so I ordered some to munch on while we were waiting for the soup. It was so good! So I went back to buy another tray lol. So the soup made it back with us to SD. Went home, heated it up in a pot and went to town on it. It was delicious!! Really exceeded my expectations, especially when the place being located in a food court, and the fact that we ate it almost 2 hours later. The broth was thick like how it should be, and the taste was great! I would definitely try out this place again! read more

Avoid this place at all cost. Really long wait for food and when I asked for a refund they refused. They told me employee had to work late last night and blah blah blah. read more

C&C Express is one of the many small food establishments in the food court, but this one in particular offers a wide selection of escargot/snails. They also offer other Vietnamese snacks like che, balut, fresh juices, various noodle and rice soup dishes, corn, packaged desserts, packaged appetizers, peanuts, etc. FOOD: I purchased the small snails in coconut sauce, che, and a few packaged appetizers and desserts. First, I enjoy eating snails but only to an extent. I can handle the small size because the texture is definitely something to get used to, which is why I only ordered the small snails in coconut sauce. The flavor was light and sweet, and masked the gritty snail taste. The che was nothing special but I love the coconut milk, jelly, and various fruits/beans combo. The packaged items were made from other companies so if I like it or hate it, it's not C&C Express' fault, they have no say in making them. Also, if you're wondering, all the other establishments sell the same packaged desserts and appetizers for the same price, so there's no need in walking around and checking prices (they're all a few bucks). I purchased the rice cakes, the two-colored green jelly dessert, and a few other items that came with fish sauce that I don't know the name of. OVERALL: I don't know why the reviews for this establishment are so low, but I personally believe they offer a great selection of food/drinks, the items that I purchased tasted great, and the packaged desserts/appetizers were fresh (you would expect that this busy food court would sell out their food, but I've seen little fuzzy mold on other establishment's packaged desserts so definitely inspect each package before you buy it). Lastly, maybe their noodle soup dishes taste bad, but I didn't order it so I'll update my review once I try their other items; as of now, I'm still a fan! read more

Ordered Bun Bo Hue Chay ($13) and Durian smoothie ($6.50). Smoothie was small and cup was only 3/4 full. It tasted Ok but is a lot more expensive compared to other vendors in the mall and in OC. BBH Chay soup bowl was very small about 1/2 the size of a regular bowl. The soup was also tasteless with no BBH flavor and the fried tofu pieces floating were old and very hard. I have eaten the same BBH Chay at many other restaurants in OC and this soup is by far the worst ever.

I got the food from here before but it didn't impress me. This time I got the nuoc mia (sugar cane juice). $1.75 for small nuoc mia. Cheap but the quality was only 3 stars.

Per a recommendation from one of my Yelp friends, I happily slurped up snails in coconut sauce. Found that it was easy to just suck on the big end and the meat just popped out. Had to ask for a bag for the empties, or I was just continuing to search for the ones with meat left. I did think that $5 was a little steep for the experience, so this is reflective of that. Also, it was tough to get the ladies attention. Bon Appetite... read more

I come here every New Years and once every 3 months. I love their variety of Vietnamese street food. My mom used to take me here as a kid, just to snack on all the munchies she grew up eating. She told me, besides Vietnam, this is the closest thing to the authenticity of eating street food in Vietnam, but much cheaper in terms of travel. I always try to hit up this place, whenever I'm in the area. I love their variety of snails and the bun beo they have. read more

My longing for Saigon-style snails has been sated, somewhat! If I had known this place existed in September, after I got back from Vietnam, I would have lived here. Well, I'm still tempted. I wasn't really hungry since I had just stuffed myself with dim sum across the street, but when I saw the buckets of snails - different species, different sauces, even blood cockles were in there somewhere! - I couldn't pass it up. They sell by the bucket size and I got a small, with small snails (oc) - you need a toothpick to get the meat out - in a kind of hot garlic oil with some sweet garlic chili sauce on the side. This cost $5. I also got a small sugarcane juice (nuoc mia). This cost $2.25. I would have also gotten a balut (hot vit lon), which were just chilling, already boiled, in a big cauldron on the counter, but the lady selling them already looked scared that the white girl was going to flip out over her snails, so I decided not to push it. The guy before me in line did order one though, and he asked for a specific level of development. The lady happily weighed them one by one with her ladle until they found one together that had 'no fur'. Well, the snails were delicious - not rubbery at all - and the dipping sauce was very complementary. Not too intrusive. They're tricky to eat - you've got about a fifty-fifty chance of losing half the meat to the darkest corners of the snail shell if you don't wield your toothpick right. Still worth it. I'll be back to try the rest of the varieties. I saw giant apple snails, I saw snails in coconut sauce, I saw blood cockles with salt and rau ram. And I want all of them. read more

Great service!!!!!!!!! The people is honest and trustworthy. My mom left her wallet there and when I called to check if she forgot it there the next day. They say it was there and never open the wallet. Nothing was missing for my mom's wallet. They are true to their words. Very honest and they follow protocols. My mom has to be there to identify her wallet and that is an excellent protocol. They also say within 3 days if no one claims the wallet they will need to give it to the security. read more

C&C has the quality and the authenticity, or maybe I'm just desperate. It's near impossible to find "oc len xao dua" outside of Vietnam. There are none anywhere near I live, unless you count the gross frozen kind. Those who grew up with this dish should know it right away. Snails swimming (not literally, they're dead) in a rich, sweet, spicy coconut sauce. The snails may be an acquired taste for some. The best thing about this dish is the sauce. I drank it like a soup. read more

My parents used to take me to the asian garden mall every sunday. They would give me $10 bucks and I would get to walk around all the food courts pigging out on various items including snails and balut. Anyway After having dim sum across the street my friends and I decided to come here for boba at another food court. She mention to me she has never tried Balut. This was the perfect opportunity to get her to try it. This place is pretty cheap and convenient. Its about $2 bucks and they give it to you pipping hot, along with some herbs and salt and pepper. My buddy enjoyed it very much sucking that bad boy dry. As I am typing I am now craving some balut! They also serve snails and clams. read more
