Sweet stuff for the lunar new year
Betty G.

Noticed this place while driving to the freeway. I just saw them advertised on Yelp while getting my nails done so wanted to check them out. Stopped by here late evening so found a parking spot right away. Got a rice porridge with ground beef to go and the lady talked me into buying their beef cha. The porridge was good, beef cha was also good (or was I too hungry since it was already late (past 8:00 pm) and I still had not had my dinner yet? The lady owner sliced up the beef cha for me so I can nibble in the car. It was a tad too soft compared to other places but the flavor was good. I want to be back and try other items she had in the store.

This is a new store just opened recently on Euclid St/Westminster, next to Thanh Tam sandwiches. We stopped by on a weekday afternoon around 3:00pm and there was no line. We picked a couple items for cold cut and pate to eat with baguette. I like that they offered some samples which's smart to encourage more sale. So far so good. They have lots of items in freezer and some food to go items on the counter. The lady in front is super friendly and offer suggestions. The store is super clean and parking is ok on weekdays. Will definitely come back to try other items.

This is just based on the menu and food pics from the owner and the store. Was craving for some cháo & chả lụan and was in the area. Saw this and came over but it still closed, not quite done with set up yet. The store is quite big and quite nice with clean cut simple decor. Just the menu is up and the counter. The pics look great and yummy. Can't wait to give it a try once it's open. Parking is okey depending on the time of the day since the parking lot is share with the whole big plaza.

Toothy? Or head cheese

Excellent Chao' and ham No where like it in Westminster Best in OC Will come back for more Vot best in O C

What a fantastic find! We randomly stopped in after driving by and we were pleasantly greeted by their large selection of house made cold cuts/meat loafs and friendly staff. They have spicy and non-spicy options and samples to try. I like how the samples were pre-packed and covered in individual containers, very sanitary. The store is clean and they have their options displayed well. Everything looked good and it also tasted good. We purchased three different rolls: cha lua (smooth blend pork loaf), cha mo (fatty fried meat loaf), and the head cheese which is my favorite. I usually hate cha lua because it leaves a weird feeling in my mouth after eating it (similar to the acid in spinach) but this one was nothing like the ones you get prepacked in the grocery stores. It was sweet, soft, and super flavorful. This was a thousand times better. The cha mo was very good too as was the head cheese. We bought the non spicy head cheese so I can shared with family but next time I would get the spicy. I enjoyed everything and look forward to coming back to try their other food.

This is a great clean food to-go spot! Perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal. The chao and cha are very delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything is prepared quickly, making it super convenient when you're in a rush. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to for tasty, fast, and satisfying food!

I was so happy when they opened up this Chao & Cha shop just down the street from my house. It's located near the 22 freeway off of Euclid. This unique little shop provides an abundance of to go items and there's a cute little dine in area. I am sure they offer at least 12+ kinds of cha. My favorites were the pork cha, fish cha, chicken cha, banh canh with fish cha, banh cuon with different cha's. It was also our first time trying pandan chao where you can pick your preferred protein. What a treat! The owner was very sweet and offered us numerous samples also. Will definitely be returning to try more!

Chả

A unique store if not, the only place in Orange County that you can find variety of delicious, traditional Vietnamese CHẢ. The place also sells CHÁO with various selections of CHẢ. Clean, bright interior with beautiful decoration. Sahara, the female manager is friendly , courteous, attentive, and will take the time, explaining all the foods to you. There is a counter with samplers that you can try. The store is right next to our favorite Thanh Tâm bakery.

I was in OC looking to buy some nem chua before returning home to the SGV. Saw that this place just opened and that they had pandan chao which I had never had before. I ordered nem chua bo, chao ca, and cucumber nuoc mia. Everything was delicious! I had the chance to sample some cha as well. I regret not buying some. I will definitely stop by again to try other things when I'm in the area.

This is a one-stop shop for all your deli meat cravings. Their chả chiên is flavorful and has that perfect bouncy texture. The nem chua was not overly fermented, and they even have small cups of samples if you want to try a few things. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. If you're ever in the mood to make a banh mi board, soup, or simply add some meat to your rice, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good. There is also a dessert display in the front where you check in which we haven't tried yet.

Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home. The nem nuong here are always perfectly rolled and the crunch of the fried wonton strip inside makes it feels like party in your mouth! so good! Note: requesting to cut rolls in half costs extra. We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo. It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

I took over responsibility for another facility and needed to feed my staff. Did a quick "food…read moresearch near me" and found Mama Hieu's. I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff. Oh there was a part of the order that was missed but they took care of it right away. Also parking at the plaza is very busy but there's parking in the back so no problems. They even brought it out to me so I wouldn't have to carry it all around the building. A+ service. If you're in the area and want some good wings...don't hesitate to stop by! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

I was making it a habit in coming here when they started their weekly wednesday promos where $4 for…read more4 wings and then the following 2 weeks it was $8 for 8 wings. When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

The best pho in OC hands down…read more Came in Sunday afternoon for lunch, lots of parking but busy! Be prepared for parking and maybe to wait. Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
