Funny how the place is called HOT but despite being 1.6 miles away it was delivered to me cold. SMH Portion size is small (I'm talking half what it should be) compared to other Vietnamese places, but the nearby place I order bánh thịt nướng chả from in Westminster (LanAnh) closes early on Sundays so I ordered DoorDash from here to be delivered 5:50pm. I played my order 3:30 and it arrived 5 minutes before my scheduled time. Wanted to try something new off Yelp with good reviews so I went with this. Next time I'll skip DoorDash and go get orders at the restaurant myself. That way, I don't get lukewarm food at best. Both orders came same temp. Must've been made at least 30 minutes before driver picked it up. My son liked the fish sauce because it was straight up sweet from the sugar in the fish sauce. He finished his portion and was still hungry. Skipping this place next time. Paid $40 when I could've cooked a much more satisfying meal with leftovers for $20.

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.

Bitter melon soup!  YAAAAAS!

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

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.

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.

I recommended this seafood market to my daughter when she was planning a sushi night with her…read moreroommate, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. She went in looking for sushi-grade salmon, and she couldn't be happier with the quality. The salmon was incredibly fresh, healthy-looking, and full of flavor. She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

I'd round my 4.5 up to a 5. The owners were incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of our…read morequestions from how best to enjoy the fish to explaining what they currently had in stock. We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood

Probably one of the best chinese food places in my life!…read more This place is older than me I believe. They have a wide selection of chinese dishes to choose from. I love ordering their chinese broccoli and beef, the house special lo mein, honey walnut shrimp, tom yum soup, kung pao chicken, fried fish... there are too many dishes to list out that I enjoy here haha Service is good and the staff are very friendly. The ambiance inside is very nostalgic to me. They also do to go, so sometimes I buy a tray of the lo mein if Im going to a party Highly recommend this place!

We don't come here for dim sum as much anymore since their second location opened, but I still think the dinner here is better. The menu is massive, and if I'm honest, everything you get, new or familiar, is likely going to be a banger. Over the years we've built a list of go-to dishes we almost always order: * House Special Squid * House Special Lobster * Peking Style Pork Chops * Peking Duck * Sautéed Ong Choy * Sautéed Pea Sprouts * House Special Bean Curd * French Style Beef * Kung Pao Chicken Everything comes out freshly made, generously seasoned, and perfect for sharing family-style around a big table. Sure, the restaurant might look a little worn around the edges, but that's part of the charm. The service is fast and friendly, and I love that many of the staff speak multiple languages. It makes the place feel welcoming for the diverse, multicultural families that gather here. If you're looking for a solid spot for a family-style Chinese dinner, this place has stood the test of time for us.

Inside was very clean and bright with catchy kpop to bop to. The food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I tried some of the Kupbobs (I had the spicy pork and she had the cutlet). The spicy pork had the perfect amount of flavor and spice, present but not destructive. The kimchi and egg were delicious on their own, but as a combination with the pork and rice, it was the perfect combination of flavors. This was further enhanced by the garlic mustard sauce, one of half a dozen house-made sauces, that came with the Kupbob. We will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

The original cookie was less sweet than other places I've tried in the best way. Crisp texture, just right. The matcha wasn't bitter at all, more creamy and soft. Definitely coming back to grab more!!! The kimchi fried rice was buttery with chunks of army spam (favorite part), kimchi and cheese. Not spicy at all but so addictive. The bulgogi was the staff's recommendation and I get why it's their best seller... Fresh ingredients, well seasoned, you could taste everything individually. The spot is in a plaza near Target. Inside feels like a cute Korean convenience store, individual Korean ice cream bars (no more buying the whole pack at H-Mart ), hangang ramyun, alcohol, and Korean drinking game sets. Next time I'm coming back for the hangang ramyun and those games for sure!

Second, they are not stingy with the lobster. Every bite actually has lobster in it, not just filler. Everything was rich, fresh, and super satisfying. The bisque and chowder were the perfect add ons and the pasta and mac and cheese just took it over the top. The vibe is really cute too. It gives under the sea meets Fisherman's Wharf.

My recommendation would be to focus on the lobster rolls and tacos. ditch the quesadillas grilled cheeses and lobster fries.
