    Ghien Bun Bo. For an Asian spot I thought the service was great. Got us everything we asked for. And I'll say. We pretty demanding. Example extra limes and they brought out a good amount Bbh. It's decent. I did want want bbh flavor but overall it was pretty good. Protein cooked well. Sate on the table Mi Quang also needed more flavor. Wasn't bad. Just not as good as I hoped Next time I'll be back for the banh canh which looked very good.

    Was craving some Bun Bo Hue today and decided to try a new spot in the area. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Seated right away, didn't have a long line during lunch. Server took the order and a hot bowl of Bun Bo Hue showed up 3 minutes later. The BBH here reminds me of the flavor that my Vietnamese auntie used to make during family gatherings. The broth has strong lemongrass essence and isn't overly rich. If you don't add any condiments, the bowl is good as is. Since it's on the lighter side they provide shrimp paste, satay, fish sauce, chili in fish sauce so can add according to taste. I added a spoonful of satay sauce and it brought the broth to life. Ate some chilis on the side to get some more heat. The meats are all good quality, really enjoy their pork meatball. Service is quick and efficient from ordering to getting the order. Servers were friendly and did a good job. The restaurant was playing some EDM music in the background which was nice, felt lively.

    Came here with my family after a local recommended it, and wow, so glad we tried it! We love Vietnamese food, and everything here was incredibly delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant itself is very clean, spacious, and the service was quick. It has more of a casual, quick-dining feel, but still really comfortable and inviting. I also appreciated how generous they were with the veggies especially the banana leaves, which a lot of places don't even include. It made the experience feel more authentic!! My only small complaint: one of our drinks was about 90% ice and 10% actual drink, which threw off the balance a bit. Definitely recommend if you order a drink day less ice because the ratio is noticeably different. Overall though, it's a great spot and I'll definitely be coming back soon!

    A few friends recommended this place, and I wasn't expecting bun bo hue for dinner, but wow, turns out I actually prefer this soup over pho! I'm still on the hunt for my absolute favorite spot, but after visiting this one, it's officially my new go-to for bun bo hue. The flavors are incredible - the blood doesn't taste irony, the meat is super tender, and the broth is absolutely exquisite. My partner tried the Bánh Canh Tôm Cua Huế, and she's now obsessed,it's officially her new favorite Vietnamese soup! This spot feels really special, and if you're in the area, you definitely gotta give it a shot. Trust me, it's worth the visit and I promise, you won't be disappointed! Great service! Ambiance reminds me of Hoi An but its probably more like the town HUE!

    I got the bun bo hue and it was delicious. The portion size was good with a flavorful broth. The establishment is spacious so it did not take long to get seated. I was able to get my food fairly quickly after ordering with our server.

    I was on my way back home from work, and I was craving some Bun Bo Hue. And this place came really recommended by my fellow yelpers. How can you mess up a bowl, that the restaurant is named after? So after the great reviews, I decided to stop by. The place is bright, clean, and very welcoming. I placed the order to go. And it was $18 for one Bun Bo Hue. But the portion size was very generous, and also a nice amount of vegetables to go. I love that they also give us the shrimp paste with it. As, how would it be authentic without it??! So yah!! :) I would love to come back another time to dine in to try the rest of the menu items. The staff was pretty busy when I got there, but they were still professional and nice. Thank you for a delicious bowl of Bun Bo Hue!

    Banh canh

    We stumbled upon this spot while hanging out at the Asian Garden Mall in celebration of Lunar New Year with the kids. It was a little chilly so we wanted something warm and soupy. I was also craving Banh Canh (which is like an udon noodle soup) but more than just udon lol it's a special Vietnamese noodle dish that is packed with so much umami flavor! Legit one of the best banh canh I have ever had. This spot was busy with locals and the service is quick and nice! My kids and husband ordered the Bun Bo Hue- which the really like but I think it had too much of that umami flavor (the stinky shrimp paste) that's what my kids call it haha but they really liked it minus that extra smell of the shrimp paste. This was my husband's first and he also felt the same as the kids. Welp, I absolutely enjoyed my dish and I'd come here again with my kids and husband.

    Good seafoody banh canh $14 No Amex accepted It really hit the spot, I enjoyed the chewy noodles and the thickness of the broth. Broth could use a bit more toppings, but it was very comforting for the price and size. Service Don't expect it lol

    Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue
    Cathleen H.

    The Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue has a thick broth and the noodles are thin-thick. I was expecting a large chunk of crab meat based on how my parents told me the last time they were here but it was only shredded. Lots of mushroom and the crab meatballs are nice. The broth is thick but flavorful and comfy. 7/10 Staff is nice but they did forgot to bring out drinks until after finishing the meal which isn't really a big issue. Lots of seating with cute decor like pumpkins perfect for the fall season. Parking can be tight depending on what time you go.

    The family watches Ghien Bun Bo videos on Instagram and wants to visit this restaurant. I took my family there around 4:10 p.m. There were few customers present at the time, so there was no wait to dine in. We got the Bun Bo Hue, which is beef and pork soup with rice noodles, the Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue, which is special Vietnamese udon soup, the Bun Ca Salmon Va Cha Ca Mang, which is salmon and fishcake noodle soup, and the Mi Quang, which is a special noodle with pork and shrimp. We all ordered little bowls, and when the food arrived at our table, I noticed how small the bowls were. But I was mistaken: the bowls are small, but the food is filling. I got full and couldn't finish the food. So this place isn't too bad; the soups are flavorful, and I'll return to try different foods next time.

    I love this Vietnamese spicy beef noodles, namely Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and have tried just about any restaurant that is serving it. My one sister has been telling me about this restaurant. Finally tried Ghien Bun Bo for lunch yesterday. Very good. Ordered it without the pork legs, just beef and pork meatballs. It was delicious. Beef was perfectly tender and meatballs were not super salty. Ordered the small bowl and they gave a fair amount of beef and the two meatballs are good size. Definitely a return with family.

    I like a lot of vegetables in my bbh. This place gives a lot

    I love this place. I hope they never change owners. Love their bun Bo hue and banh canh cua.

    Bun Bo hue
    Tina T.

    I found this spot on Yelp, was craving bun Bo hue, so I had to give it a try. It was pretty good! The broth was not spicy though (but you can add the chilis yourself as they provided it at the table). Noodles, meat, and broth were good. My friend did say she liked it too! My only opinion about the pork was that I wish it was a bit more tender. But beef slices were good! Service- was okay. They did forget our water but quickly apologized and brought it when we told them. We got the small size for like $ 15.

    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.

The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, the staff work hard to keep up with the crowds, and the service is friendly despite how busy they are.

Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor.

You pretty much eat it by wrapping it with the lettuce or dip your noodles into the sauce. Very authentic and delicious without being overly heavy.
