    Bun Bo Hue Large
    Kevin He Zhong Q.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Been wanting to try out this place for their BBH and it was decent, broth was good, decent size and price . Service was fast. Place was clean.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
