    Bitter melon soup!  YAAAAAS!
    J F.

    This place is so tech-y! Love the POS at table side! My favorite thing is the bitter melon soup! Yummmmo!

    The food is SO good! I don't usually order com whenever we eat, but decided to give it a try since they specialize in it. I ordered with it thit and it was SO good; it actually reminded me of the food I had in Vietnam. Our server was really friendly! I never got his name, but he was the guy with glasses. He gave us a run down of the menu and what/how to order.

    Tried this little Vietnamese spot near my house and honestly... I'm glad we did. The food was super yummy. I've definitely had better Vietnamese food before, not gonna lie, but this place is a close second, and what really makes it stand out is that it's open late. That alone makes it such a win, especially when you're craving something that isn't fast food at 10-11pm. The restaurant itself is really clean and inviting. It wasn't busy at all when we went, which made it a perfect place to just sit, eat, and chat without feeling rushed. There were plenty of tables and even a cute little outdoor patio if you want to eat outside. Bathrooms were clean too, which always gets bonus points from me. You order on a tablet, which I actually loved. I'm terrible at making decisions, so being able to scroll through everything, look at pictures, and take my time was super helpful. No pressure, no awkward "I'm not ready yet" moments. The food wasn't my absolute favorite Vietnamese food ever, but it also wasn't bad at all, it was solid, comforting, and hit the spot. I can totally see myself coming back again and again for a late-night snack or casual bite, especially since most other places are closed by then. Overall, it's a great little late-night option that feels way better than grabbing fast food. Clean, chill vibe, decent food, and open late, that combo alone makes it worth going back.

    Order food on pad or with waiter

    I ate here before with my mother on 3 other occasions. This time I was on my own. The restaurant nice open and very spread out so you're not right next to another party. The AC was nice. There was a lot of TV on all direction showing Vietnamese cuisine but I rather have a game on. The table has generous helping of condiments, pickled jalepenos garlic, chili paste and chili oil. Tables and condiments container were clean. Utensils were metal spoons and chops sticks which was nice. You get 1 napkin. So restaurant gives you what you need and avoid waste. Waiter gives me an ordering iPad that you order and send it directly to the kitchen. I debated over Bun Rieu or bun Bo hue. I got Bun Bo Hue. It was very tasty. Good amount of meat but not enough noodle. Little bit more would be perfect. The veggie were just enough for the soup. I would prefer extra, I'm not sure if they would charge for extra. I enjoy this place. I am including a picture of Bun Rieu that I had and my mother had the Com tam.

    Was craving for com tam so stopped by here since it was close to where I was. Plenty of parking and clean too. Very nice simple decor, clean, spacious, airy and well kept inside. Plenty of TVs hung around with different channel of cooking or food traveling shown. You ordered on the tablet that they provided along with a menu in case you can do on the tablet. Easy order and quick turn around...the foods look delicious and tasty plus it comes with free veggie soup - a really small soup that you wonder why bother. All are good and tasty plus good portion. I was impressed or really hungry that I cleaned up the plate, except the soup (it was so so). Coffee was good, too much iced. Overall not bad at all.

    If you're craving a quick fix of broken rice, this is the place! I didn't expect much at first, but it actually turned out pretty good. You order on an iPad, and the staff brings everything out to you. The ambiance is surprisingly nice too. We ordered four items, pork chops, egg, shrimp, and egg rolls and everything hit the spot. We also tried the fish sauce wings, which were delicious. Plus, it's super close to home, so that's a win!

    I revisited this gem of a restaurant for lunch today. We both ordered the Dry Egg Noodles with all toppings! It was delicious and very peaceful of a luncheon. I shook the owner's hand for still keeping the vibe and the price reasonable

    Long faced server-
    Go J.

    We are definitely ' regulars 'at this spot now. Updated review for 3/23/26: Please find something else for the older Vietnamese lady server to do. By the way she treats customers, I dont think she wants to be here at all. She didnt smile or greet anyone. And had a long face the whole time. Not everyone is cut out to be a server! We'll still be back, but hopefully not on her shift.

    Spring rolls
    Cat N.

    I really wanted to like this place more because its not to far from me. I came in here for pickup. I did like how spacious it is inside with plenty of chairs and tables to dine in. It was also a little busy on a weekday for lunch. However there was only one lady working the floor and everyone had to wait. I ended up ordering the 4 item com tam combo and an order of spring rolls. My 4 item com tam included steam egg cake, eggroll, pork chop, and a beef short rib for an additional $3. I did like that there were plenty of different items to choose from for my 4 items. The com tam ended up being meh and underwhelming. The meats were on th de dry side. thought it would be a large order but it ended up being pretty small. As for the spring rolls it came with pork and shrimp. It was ripped when I got home and not the best I've had. It was okay but the sauce was not good. The pricing here is reasonable and affordable. I did like that it had its own parking lot which made it easy to get in and out. I would come back to try their other items.

    Fish sauce fried chicken wings appetizers
    Kenneth M.

    Wow, I'm honestly surprised at this hidden gem. From the outside it seems quiet and dead, but suddenly it gets busy. We came here on a whim because we live 2 mins away. Pro: Plenty of seating, enough room for a stroller, clean with plenty of TVs. The Fish Sauce chicken wings and it was pretty good, it was garlicky, savory and sweet. We both ordered the 4 item Broken Rice with pork chop. You can customize the items to mix and match here. So you can theoretically get all pork chops if u wanted. But it was good and at a decent price. The grilled shrimp was juicy and fat. The service was also good and friendly. Con's: -ordering from a tablet (can be good or bad up to the user) but it is user friendly. -echoes inside due to the concrete floors. -slow but friendly service due to only having one server (weekday) -Thai tea had a lot of cream. We will come back for sure.

    Picked a random viet restaurant near my friends new house and hit gold! This place was a great find with authentic flavors at a decent price. We visited during pretty slow hours on Labor Day and the service was just okay. Food (5/5) - Good concept letting customers customize their own com tam plate rather than listing 10,000 different combinations on the menu. Flavors were on point, portions were alright, probably the best com tam i've had in the area. Just a bit on the more expensive side. I ordered the grilled pork and viet sausage, and everything was good quality even the sides. Service (3.5/5) - As mentioned above, visited at a slow time and still had pretty sluggish service, which was countered with great food so it wasn't a huge deal. Just a hot summer day and was rushing to get some ice waters going! Ordering off a tablet is a bit slow for groups of people. The staff here is very nice, however. Ambiance (5/5) - I really like the sleek design of this restaurant, appears very spacious, is clean, and comfortable seating. Lots of parking, nice bathrooms, not super loud inside, can't complain.

    First time here and the food was really good! Spacious interior with plenty of seating too. Inside is very clean and organized with lots of TVs which makes for a perfect location to spend time with friends and family. The service was very professional and quick. We got their com tam with 3 and 4 items (two separate orders). Everything was cooked so well and it was so delicious. I grew up eating these dishes and I was so happy to be able to find a restaurant that served well made dishes. The shredded pork and skin, steam egg cake, charbroiled pork chop, and char-broiled pork were delicious. The pork was very smoky too. The best thing about this place was the pricing of the menu items. They're VERY reasonable and a huge reason why I would come back to this place. So many restaurants feel expensive nowadays due to inflation/costs of living/etc but the pricing on this menu takes me back a few years. I'd be happy to come again!

    Stopped by to try their broken rice (cơm tấm) and had a great experience. I was the first customer of the day, so I got to sit wherever I wanted, which was a nice start. They offer both a physical menu and an iPad menu, and ordering directly from the iPad was quick and easy. The space itself is spacious, clean, and feels recently remodeled, with lots of windows letting in natural light and giving a nice view out to the street. It's casual and comfortable without trying too hard. I ordered the 3-item combo and was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the price was for the portion size. The food came out fast, was filling, and hit the spot. Nothing fancy, but solid, tasty Vietnamese comfort food done right. I'd definitely come back again.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

The standout for me was the flaming wagyu ($18), torched tableside. For how thick the cut was, it was incredibly tender and soft. Definitely go medium rare. The ponzu dipping sauce really enhances the richness of the beef. We also tried the shaken beef ($21), which came with plenty of caramelized onions and bell peppers that added a subtle sweetness. The beef was slightly charred, bite-sized, and super satisfying--especially with rice. The combo pho ($25) came loaded with a variety of meats, all tender and melt-in-your-mouth. The broth had a deep, beefy richness, and the noodles were perfectly soft. Add in the garnishes for some crunch and it really ties everything together. Overall, a solid spot with quality ingredients and flavorful dishes. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
