This is one of the best places to go for Vietnamese focused open Karaoke and night life in Orange County. The alcohol is well prices (bottle service is very reasonable) and there is open microphone Karaoke after 8:30pm. They have a sound engineer to really make the music go well. If you have the courage to sing in front of a live audience, this place is the way to go. The kitchen is small so if this place is busy, you can expect to wait awhile for the food. This place is usually very busy on Friday and Saturdays and some nights having a Live DJ late at night. The food is a bit pricey as establishments tend to charge a bit more for the food because the drinks are priced better than traditional American places. My favorite dishes would be the Vietnamese chicken wings and the beef and preserved egg porridge. What to expect: There will be a lot of Vietnamese people here speaking their native language. All ages will have fun and have a night life. It's interesting to see a mix crowd of all Vietnamese people having fun, ages range from 21 - 70s + ages. If you're a clean freak, the restrooms do have a stench and again, this is a Vietnamese eccentric place. If you enjoy good food and great price drinks and do not want the normal crowds, coming here Thursday from open to close (karaoke after 8:30pm), early on Friday and Saturday (before the karaoke and night life starts) or on Sunday are great times to go. They are closed Monday - Wednesday. read more

Lots to say about this place. Let's start with saying that it's a great place to rent out for a party. It's a newer establish so super fresh and clean, and visually appealing. Service is good. Not a empty beer bottle on the table. My biggest gripe with the place is they don't fill out the place and leave the middle for bottle service. When we went it was pretty much half empty. For drinking and eating it's a nice place. Atmosphere is produced by the nice karaoke, sound, and lights. Otherwise if you're looking for a full house, with a roaring crowd and a party atmosphere, this isn't your place. This is more upscale and relaxing type of place. read more

It's a good place when it's not so crowded. Great decor and dj is amazing. I love listening to dj antz. He's simply the best. Service is great here and parking is open read more

Ripoff place. This explains why they're empty on a Friday night. DJ suck and food suck. If i can give them a negative star rating I would. $330 for what supposed to be a small bottle of Cordon Blue? If you want to be alone and got a ton of money to burn? Otherwise go somewhere else? read more

Cordon Blue Restaurant and Lounge - Empty at 10pm on a Friday night. Because it's a ripoff. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Westminster, California

Great french food and drinks. My bartender Sachi provided my party w A+ service and was very knowledgable about the menu.

We celebrated a Friend's Anniversary and another friend's Birthday, this restaurant/ lounge bar is nice and fresh. The staff are very attentive. There's a karaoke DJ so sing if you dare. I heard the system is excellent, per my brave karaoke friends. Lol. There is a dance floor, so drink up and get down... The food is good, we had a couple of dishes. The clams with rice cracker, razor clams, friend rice, mango salad.. all the dishes was very tasty. Great service!! Great parking lot. Definitely will be back... read more

The food was really delicious. My husband and I were both satisfied with the service. We got to spend some quality time with together. Live music makes the atmosphere more enjoyable. read more

Poorly ran place. Crooked establishment. Pay attention to your bill and note what you order. This place has a tendency to add on items you didn't order and then demand a tip. They added over 200 dollars extra on items I didn't order. When confronted the cashier, they wouldn't accept responsibility and said they would take off 100. Then only to say they wanted a tip. Sad establishment. You'll get ripped off. read more

This place is the bomb for bday! Just come any day and it's all about pop and just good techno music on bdays! It's all good! Good work Vietnam!! read more

Cordon Blue Restaurant and Lounge - Oh yea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Westminster, California

I have been to this Lounge few times and I am very much enjoy the atmosphere. The food is good , service girls are very friendly and always there for you when you need something. There is DJ person playing after 12 on the weekend . I would recommend any one to come to take a look at this place if you come to little Saigon . read more

So based on a friend's recommendation, our family walked into Cordon Blue on a quiet, early evening, and stayed there until late at night. We all had a delightful experience, and upon leaving, the restaurant and lounge received a unanimous high-five YES vote from each of us. Our first impression is this place's décor and layout had been carefully planned, and designed to create a stylish setting, and an enjoyable atmosphere. The security staff is friendly and professional. The waitresses are courteous, and attentive. Cordon Blue has a full menu, and each dish is nicely prepared and presented with fresh vegetables and herbs. A musician manages the sound system to provide consistent audio quality throughout the night. The stage is also equipped with smoke effects for those special, 'soul searching' songs. According to our friend, the restaurant relies heavily on word-of-mouth recommendations from customers rather than radio and television advertising, and the place is fully packed during weekends. No business can be flawless, but with the care and customer service this restaurant shows, we gladly give Cordon Blue a 5 star rating. Ok, let the good times roll ... read more

This place is better now that they took out the middle bar. It looks more spacious. Since it's a new quan nhau, the liquor prices are decent so make sure you go before they start raising the prices, which I hope not. I don't eat when I am drinking but I heard the pig feet and some type of steamed fish dish are good. Lol the table I was at ordered it but I was already too drunk to notice. Sigh. Overall, nice place to chill and drink. read more

One of the best Quan Nhau in OC for many reasons: Cleanliness, waitresses are very attentive and friendly, excellent beer food! I've been here twice on a Saturday and they have a DJ and a pianist for Vietnamese karaoke for those who want to sing. I will be back next Saturday for another GNO! read more

Well where do I start? My friend and I walked in (African American women) very professional women at that! Walked in and one waiter was sitting in the couch when we walked in turned around looked us UP AND DOWN!! I stated we had reservations for 2 @ 7:30pm (it was completely empty). Another girl came up to us then another girl THEN a man come up to us. I repeated myself "we have reservations for 2 @7:30p" the man sucked his teeth then walked away turned around then rolled his eyes. I looked at my friend and she looked at me (clearly we weren't wanted there) we then stood there having a starring contest until I asked my friend if she'd wanted to leave because I didn't like the energy. Long story short we left because obviously we weren't the type of ppl they wanted in their establishment smh very sad read more

IMO best VN Quan Nhau in OC. Higher class than your typical places. For those complaining about the price... well then don't come (sorry that's reality) or it's also ok to order beer. Ladies coming there are well dressed and some guys wear blazers/sport coats. Waitresses are very cute and really work hard... it's tough when it gets crowded and crazy. read more

Came here last night on a Monday - Don't judge me. Nice atmosphere with comfortable decor and great service. Nice EDM music with karaoke intermixed (one star). Security guard in front is very nice, greets you with a firm handshake and as you enter and opens the door (second star). The servers are very attentive and constantly keep your glasses filled with FAKE ALCOHOL! I don't consider myself being a strong drinker but I definitely felt like it this night. We had two bottles of hennessey VSOP split between 6 people and everyone was feeling straight. What a scam. Come here if you like the taste of non-alcoholic drinks. read more

I came here twice on two Fridays in a row. We ordered a bottle of 1 liter corden blue and 750 ml Hennessy xo. $330 for corden blue 1 liter and $340 for the hennesy xo bottle. The bill comes out to be $1000. It's cool, but not if they gave us fake liquor! The next day I got mad hangover and I never got hangover with such good liquor. Maybe I drank too much (said my friend from the first Friday). Last Friday I came back with different friends who drink hennesy xo daily. He tells me that the liquor is mixed and not pure hennesy xo. I didn't belive him till I am here at his house today. Tasting the hennesy xo straight from the bottle. Yes. The bottle at Corden Blue is fake. Thats fucked up. How can you charge someone full price and give fake liquor?!? read more

What a great experience! Beautiful people, stunning lounge and great The sound system is off the charts! Did I mention the big screens! Stopped in to meet some friends and was greeted warmly at the door. Ushered through the front door where I noticed additional staff. I like the fact that the owners care enough to ensure the safety of their patrons. We ordered a bottle of Grey Goose and their signature cognac, Cordon Blue, with a few appetizers. Fun night, I can't wait to go back and karaoke !!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Thank you for a great night read more

On Friday and Saturday, they always put a "Reserved" sign on almost every table except for a few bad table in the back corner. We had some friends came into town and so we arrived very early to this place. We were instructed by the waitress that all the tables were reserved excepted for a few undesirable tables way in the back. All the good tables near the front where the music stage were supposedly "reserved tables" with reserved signs on all of them. I suspect this is a game that they were playing to make it seem like they will have a lot of customers. We weren't happy about being placed all the way in the back, but we went along to see if anyone really show up to claim those supposedly "reserved tables". Past midnight and only a hand full of people actually showed up but most of the table were empty! I told the owner and the waitress that I knew they are full of Sh*t and that we don't appreciate being lied to. The next time we came back these people put on the same old game again, "reserved signs" everywhere. We told them that we know their game and it's pretty stupid that they have to pretend that they will have a lot of customers show up but treat real customers like we don't matter at all to them (This is just stupid). When we got the final bill, they tried to CHARGED US FOR ITEMS WE DIDN'T ORDER. WATCH THESE SCAMMERS AND DON'T GO HERE!! Never come here again! read more

stars is for decorations and good location. Food: mediocre. We orded 2 types of snails dishes, and both are still have the sour/fishy smell. Not NOT good. Others such as chan ga nng, french fries and etc, are just mediocre Service: be Aware: don't expect fast service if your party come with ladies. These waitresses mostly serve quickly if male only table. WARNING: PLEASE DOULBE CHECK YOUR BILL/TICKET We ordered 1 dish of *steam melo melo snail (c Giác), and the price on menu stated $15.99. When we pay, they charged $30.00 for that dish. Of course, I questioned 1 of the waitress. Her answer was: "1 snail was small & not enough so they put 2 in same order and charge it DOUBLE." The dish only have 1 snail, we can tell. WHAT THE...If you don't know your dish size or price then don't put it on the menu. NOT ONLY YOU DID NOT NOTIFY customers BUT you charge extra and expect customer to pay. They still made us pay after confrontation. So sad. This is NOT HOW YOU RUN A BUSINESS. DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE when they buzz / drunk or not. DISAPPOINTED read more

Some friends went there last night, they got overcharged. For 8 people, the bill was $2,100. We had gotten one soup, got charged for 2. They claimed we had 190 beers and had charged us for it. Will never go back to this place. read more

The husband and wife are very awesome always happy and helpful waitress and security are always on point very clean and good food have to come and check it out. read more

I'm sorry Ada down here had a bad experience. I've been here several times and here's my review: 1) Decor - Great looking, very clean, even the restroom's cleanliness is superior comparing to other Viet bar in the area. If you know me, restaurant cleanliness is my #1 pet peeve. 2) Sound/Karaoke - They have a sound technician sit on the floor to help adjust the sound as you sing your karaoke. Can't get better than that. No other places in the area does that. The pianist, Nha, is an excellent musician (full disclosure: Nha is a friend who introduced me to the place). So, go ahead, eat, drink, and sing your heart out! 3) No smoking inside - Loving this! If you've been to a Viet bar in the area before you know what I mean by this. 4) Foods - Foods tastes great. Missing some traditional plates like Be Thui, but other than that, the foods are not bad. 5) Security - There's security out front and one inside. Both are nice and open to small talks. Greets you as you come and leaves. 6) Alcohol pricing - Not bad. A bottle of McCallan 18 costs around $350 here? If you buy it at Total Wine it's $280. They have a liquor license here, not the under the table BS most ghetto place has. 7) Service - The waitresses here are nice, and I do not mean it in a perverted way. They treat you nice and professional, checks on you often but doesn't bug the crap out of you. Making sure you get your requests fulfilled. Keep up the good work! read more

I had great time, and received service. Was greatly welcomed and impressed when security opened the front door for me upon my arrival. I was the only white guy sitting at the bar. Left around 11:30 P.M (8/18). I decided to do a little test, I planted a $100 dollar bill on the floor by my bar stool. Watched as a male employee (Non Asian) came by and picked it up and went to the cash register to the right of me and conversed with some female employees. The money is not a great deaI with me. However, I would have been greatly impressed, if the male employee would have stopped and asked if I had lost anything. Moral: If you go, guard your wallets, purses , and money!! Apparently money is more important to Cordon Blue than customer satisfaction. I would be very hesitant, about returning to Gordon Blue. clarkef@metro.net read more

*THIS RATING IS JUST FOR THE FOOD* For the price, have definitely experienced better. Ordered the crispy pork belly, snail in coconut milk, beef? fried rice, jumbo shrimp on stick. Snail in coconut milk had no taste, the sauce was very watered down, not enough coconut milk used. Pork belly was the best dish we ordered. Beef fried rice tastes like panda express fried rice. Shrimp on stick was nothing special. They charge 3$ or 4$ for water. Atmosphere was nice, bathroom was clean, wait staff was alright. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but for some reason, a lot of restaurants I've been to lately had horrible service. This restaurant was the opposite. Their food and service was great. Security was polite and respectful. The restaurant is clean and so was the restroom. Keep up the great work. read more

Last Friday, we had a party there with friends and family. It was a bad experience. We odered fried rice, it was burn. When we asked the waitress to change it, we received the owner lady's response from the waitress that it is their way of making it. To eat it or not, it was our choice, they wouldn't do anything with it. We are not gonna come back here again. read more

Went there with some friends first time there and had a good time waitress were friendly with 5 star service food was good but not the best so I give them a 4 star over all i would def come back. read more

I have come here many times for my friend's parties and also my own. But the service here lately was getting worse and worse. They have become so arrogant as they thought that we had been holding our parties here often. The service got worse and unprofessional. The food went down in quality. My two best friends said they would go anywhere but here again. And I will do the same. read more

Food was weird and not tasty at all. Atmosphere was club like! We were the only customers...should have picked up on that big hint! They should stick to the club thing and forget the food. read more

Our group had about 14 people and we reserved a pretty big table in the middle. The place was nice, clean and great music n good karaoke. Food was ok not enough for the price. Anyway, the reason i gave this place 1 star was because the customer service was not good and extremely rude and unprofessional. Our bill came out 800$ and we tipped 200$ then the waitress shook her head said that" The Cashier wasnt happy about the tips" asked for more, I wasnt there when they paid so my guy friends gave them another 200$ for tips. Whats on Earth a place like that demand a 50% tips anf treated u like u dont have money to pay. We ended up ordered another big pack of beer n another cordon Bleu because we had some other friends came over. Another thing is we didnt ask for the check yet they just brought it n asked us to pay then my friends said leave it we gonna pay in a bit because we all share the bill, then the waitress just sat down right there with my friends still drinking even when my friends asked her to leave she insisted to sit down right at out table and wait like we gonna ditch and not pay. That is really really bad customer service, i know they are busy but you dont treat customer like that. Will never come back so all my friends read more
