Shaken Beef Noodles (Bo Luc Lac)
Binh L.

Been here twice now and I have yet to eat anything I didn't like. It's located in a very small plaza with limited parking. Came here on a Monday night one time and I almost just had to go elsewhere because there was no parking available but luckily the universe heard my plea to devour another bite of the garlicky and buttery cuts of meat that are freshly prepared at Khoi Hung, and a parking spot magically appeared (someone left). I've ordered the shaken beef noodles, garlic butter ribeye, and garlic butter lamb chops. As I mentioned before, you can really taste the garlic and butter they use here. Everything was delicious. I loved the soft and chewy texture of the noodles, the steak bites were tender, and the watercress salad was a refreshing addition. The rib eye and lamb chops were tasty as well. Some cuts of the rib eye were tough to chew, but overall it was fine. The lamb chops were my favorite. Juicy, tender, and flavorful. I would want to order this again. I also ate it with a side salad. The service is pretty standard and the food comes out at a reasonable time. There are plenty of tables inside as well. Definitely looking forward to returning another time.

Update, I got the sizzling plate With grilled halibut garlic butter. OMG it was so good! They are always quick with their service and the food comes out hot, sizzling and incredibly tasty. Family owned business super friendly and the prices are all super reasonable. I can appreciate establishments like this and I will support them. Disregard the have eaten plate. I am so hungry. I forgot to snap the photo of the hell of it

My friend told me about this spot so we went to try it out. There's a good amount of parking, but I imagine it getting busy. There's a good amount of tables inside. I tried the garlic noodles with shaken beef and filet mignon The meat was good but some bites were rough to tear off. The garlic noodles were thin which I liked compared to other spots. The overall dishes were really good. Service was quick and they were friendly. I definitely want to come back.

I was near Westminister, so I had to stop by Khoʻi Hung and try the viral garlic ribeye. The place is in a strip mall and parking is tight. The restaurant is large inside, and clean and bright. I was seated at a booth and there were only 3 other tables dining since it was between lunch and dinner. The interior is decorated in an ocean theme. My good came out of the kitchen quickly. The spring rolls showed up first. They were good sized, with shrimp and veggies. The problem was the rice paper wrapping was tough and dry. They weren't freshly made. The peanut sauce was good. Next came the garlic ribeye on a sizzling platter!! The presentation is so nice. This steak comes out steaming and sizzling and smelling like a million bucks! The meat is tender and the garlic cloves are mild. It could use some seasoning, but a bit of soy sauce does help.

Shaken beef with garlic noodles and side salad

Had to come back for my favorite garlic noodles with shaken beef. They load it up with garlic and the meat is super tender. The food takes a bit of time to come out but the quality and kind staff make up for it. Seating is always ample. Everything is affordable too, highly recommend!

Calamari
Jenny T.

The restaurant felt really homey when I come in and sat down. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Even though there was a big birthday party sat in a whole section, they were still very prompt with service and checked on me a few times during my visit. For lunch I ordered a calamari and ribeye steak. My ribeye steak came out sizzling and covered in garlic on a bed of onions. I loved cutting the steak and smearing the garlic over every bite. The steak came with a baguette or some rice. I ordered both haha. The bread was good but the rice with the sauce and steak was the star. I ended taking the bread home. The calamari was very crispy and had thick cuts of squid. I really enjoyed it with the sauce and ended up eating the peppers that came with the calamari with the steak. This place makes my top 3 Bo Ne in so cal. Definitely coming back because I hear they have an amazing chicken skins dish!

Fresh squeezed orange juice
Diane T.

We've been here once before years ago. It's been a while but I was craving their garlic buttery sizzling iron skillet ribeye steak. We ordered that along with frog legs, soft shell crab, chicken wings, 2 bowls of seafood udon noodles, and filet mignon shaking beef with red rice. We also had Thai iced teas and fresh squeezed orange juice and coconut juice. The ribeye was delicious, the star of the meal. Tender and buttery, sizzling upon arrival. The frog legs were huge, as were the wings. Nothing special about them. They were not marinated or seasoned at all. Just fried crispy. Same thing with the soft shell crab which came 3 per order, except they weren't fried crispy. They stayed soft, and almost soaked up the oil. Again, not seasoned. Everything fried was served with a salt, pepper and lime/lemon dipping sauce. The filet mignon shaking beef had too much of a soy sauce base sauce, and was much more salty rather than savory, which I found off putting. The seafood udon was really good and had a delicious hearty base with balls of minced crab/shrimp in it. The udon noodles were larger and slipperier than normal, but still really good. The Thai iced teas were okay... a little on the sweet side. The fresh squeezed orange juice was really good though, as was the fresh coconut juice served in the actual coconut. The Vietnamese auntie that served us was really sweet too. If we do come back in the the future, we'll skip the fried stuff and go for the sizzling steaks, and pass on the shaking beef.

Limeade with sparkling water (soda chanh on the menu)
Betty G.

We were craving for halibut and came here for dinner last night. Foods still amazing. Price is the same but protein portion is smaller now. We used to get two (2) pieces of fish per order but only got one piece now. Service still very good. Note: your clothes and hair will have this lingering smell of their foods because majority of their dishes are served on their sizzling skillets!

Lamb chops with garlic butter
Annie L.

If you're craving some protein, this place won't disappoint. Lamb chops and ribeye with garlic butter. The meats were perfectly seared and juicy and the garlic butter was amazing. Your meal arrives on a sizzling cast iron hot plate that keeps everything hot. Our meal came with rice and salad. Staff is friendly and considerate. The place was no frills and well kept. Will be back to try more items! Delicious!

Table with lots of flat screens all over the restaurant
Steve H.

Two of us decided to try Khoi Hung Restaurant since we both love meat. Service is very friendly! The restaurant is traditional Vietnamese that serves variety of traditional dishes with fusion take of steaks. Vibe is welcoming and love the flat screens all around the store. The menu is simple. We tried #11 Com Bo Luc Lac which is shaken beef with red rice. The meat is tender the sauce is on the sweeter side. And #12 filet mignon: rare with black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce is not as strong or fragrant as we like. Maybe garlic butter is better choice. The meat is tender on the steak too. We enjoyed the lunch and food here. It's more Asian take of steak and traditional food. Good size and portions.

Soft-Shell Crab Seuteed with Garlic Butter
Brandon N.

This place is hands down one of the biggest hidden gems in Orange County. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant feels cozy and welcoming. There's plenty of seating, TVs to keep you entertained, and the overall vibe is relaxed and comfortable. It wasn't too loud at all, which made it easy to actually enjoy the food and conversation. The service was excellent. All of the staff were extremely nice and attentive, checking up on us often. We ordered the Shaken Beef Rice along with French fries on the side, and it was amazing. The beef was incredibly tender and full of flavor, literally melting in your mouth with every bite. The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Simple, but done right. We also ordered the Ribeye with Garlic Butter and got the black peppercorn sauce on the side. The ribeye was delicious, packed with flavor, and not dry at all. It was cooked medium rare perfectly and came out on a hot sizzling skillet, which made it even better. The garlic butter was well balanced and didn't overpower the steak. As for the appetizers, another standout was the chicken skin chips. I believe it was still new and it wasn't on the menu yet as it was on the wall. They were extremely crispy with a good amount of spice, maybe a little on the spicy side but still very enjoyable. The dipping sauce was very unique and paired really well with the chicken. We also tried the soft-shell crab sautéed with garlic butter. The first few bites on the outside seemed a little dry at first, but once you get closer to the body and head of the crab, it becomes very juicy and flavorful. It tasted fresh and ocean like in a good way, and the dipping sauce they provide was perfect with the crab. My girlfriend and I ended up finishing all of the food, which we almost never do. That alone says how good everything was. The prices were absolutely worth it for the quality, the service was great, and overall this place is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back soon. Another true hidden gem in OC.

Garlic & Butter Filet Mignon | IG @moniquedao
Monique D.

Dined here for the first time today and had a great experience. The garlic butter ribeye was absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and with just the right amount of fat, exactly the way I like it. The garlic butter filet mignon was also excellent if you prefer a leaner cut of steak. Clumsy me accidentally touched the hot skillet and burned my finger while moving it around. One of the staff members noticed right away and was incredibly attentive. She advised me to dip my finger in the cup of ice water, gave me some ice and brought me another water for drinking. When I asked if they had any burn cream, she went to check and later came back to let me know they had run out. I appreciated her effort and care. All in all, the food was great, the service was wonderful, and the staff was genuinely attentive. I'll definitely be back for more delicious steak!

I honestly didn't like this place the first time I tried it awhile back.. went back to try it again and I actually loved everything. Ribeye with red rice and salad: 10/10 So good. I asked for my steak medium rare, and it came out perfectly cooked. Meat was soft. Came with a sweet soy sauce. Paired perfectly with the rice. The salad was refreshing with their light vinegar dressing. Com Ga Roti: 10/10 Fried chicken was as good as $1.99.

Do they accept credit card?

Yes with a surcharge

Are you open for business? I visited the other day and you were closed during the middle of the day. Thank you.

I remember calling to get food to go and i think they were gone on vacation for lunar new year, should be back in a few days.

Is it run by the new family now? Seems like it changed owners last year?

Same owner, same chef

Is it easy to find a parking lot, Thanks?

Your question doesn't make sense to answer.

As of November 5, how many tables do they have outside and how many people does each table seat? Also, how many tables do they have inside and how many people can sit at one table?

As of August 9th, 2021, there are no tables outside.

How is the bun rieu here?

In my opinion it's ok

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

Our server was on the ball, taking our order, as huge as it was, with aplomb and efficiency. He brought drinks, gave suggestions, and was just super professional. The ambiance gave off special occasion and/or upscale dining. I especially loved our upstairs table in the elevated dining room. It felt like a VIP area. The whole restaurant had a noticeable class to it that's hard to pin down to just a few elements. I just knew this food joint would be awesome to be a regular at.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is.

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.

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.
