    Pho Ribeye
    Christine Yuna H.

    District 9 seems to be a newer Vietnamese restaurant. Interior is nice and clean. We ordered the pho, but the ribeye was way too overcooked. The same situation happened for the vermicelli chicken. The chicken was way too overcooked. I would definitely try the golden baos again. Overall, not too bad, but this is definitely a restaurant that needs some work on cooking the meat.

    We came here for lunch on a Saturday and there was no wait. The place is casual and extremely clean. The service is SO GOOD they checked on us, gave good recommendations, was super nice. The food itself was also yummy -the vermicelli bowl was packed with flavor. Also ordered the veggie pho which came with a lot of veggies and good portion.

    Rib bone, so tender it slide off the bone.

    Yum. Was craving Pho after a long day at work. Found this little gem close to home and it was way more than we expected. The broth was very flavorful and light. They also had wings and fries; which weren't on their menu yet, but we got some. To top it off, service was exceptional.

    Small but cozy interior. First time trying pho here and it was really good! The iced coffee was really good as well and their egg rolls were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We also tried their green thai tea which was also a perfect sweet treat to our meal! You have to come in and try it out!!! Our server, Ryan, was very hospitable and answered all of our questions . For a limited time, they are even giving customers a small jar of their homemade spicy chili oil.

    New pho place near my house. Very clean and modern. There's a lunch special , bowl and a fried egg roll for spring roll for $15. I ordered the lunch special for pho and a spring rill. We also had a combo rice place with the bbq pork and an egg roll for $15. And another pho bowl. They had a special deal where the that green tea or Thai te is 99 cents if you take a pic and yelp or google it.

    Place smells amazing from outside. It is super clean and modern. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They brought me a water as soon as I sat down :D. You gotta try the food when you're in the area.

    Spring Rolls  Honey lemon/lime drink

    We have always passed by this restaurant going to other places in the plaza but never tried it until today ! Lunch special is 15.99$(bowl of pho or vermicelli + appetizer). We got spring rolls as an appetizer and braised beef pho. Spring rolls were fresh and warm as well for the peanut sauce on top! That first bite was so satisfying. Then came the pho. That broth was sooooo goooood. For a deal like this ? You bet we coming back. We were greeted and welcomed in as soon as we opened the door. As for the inside of the restaurant it is a little small so I can only picture this place getting packed real quick ! Luckily for us we came in at a good time and were sat down right away. With the spring rolls and pho I would have to put this on my top 5 places.

    Great food and service, best restaurant in the town, come every week, Vietnamese food is my favorite food

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

    One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything…read moreshellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

It was super crowded when we got there, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. But once we were seated and placed our order, the food came out pretty quickly. Everything tasted very fresh and had that authentic Vietnamese flavor. My favorite dish was the snail -- it paired so well with the sauce they provided. The mango squid salad was also really fresh and had a unique flavor that stood out. Overall, all of the dishes tasted like they were made fresh to order. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the bread. It was fine, but it was really just an ordinary loaf of bread and nothing particularly special compared to the other dishes. There are still so many other dishes I want to try next time, so I'll definitely be coming back!

It's always nice to visit Au Lac. Great atmosphere, extremely friendly employees with great customer service that don't overwhelm you by visiting your table every so often. Plenty of seating even when it gets busy. I also enjoy the fact that when it's someone's birthday, they sing you a happy birthday and EVERYONE (even the customers) join in, so it feels very wholesome. My experience every time we visit is always going to leave a smile on my face. Thank you everyone at Au Lac, we can't wait to visit again soon!
