    I came on a Saturday around 12:30pm with surprisingly no wait for dine-in. We were looking for a new spot to try bo ne or the sizzling plate for brunch and stumbled across this place. I didn't come in with much expectation since it wasn't as highly rated as other trending places for bo ne or banh mi chao, but I'm glad I did! We ordered one bo ne and one crispy pork belly banh mi. The sizzle plate came out sizzling and the baguette on the side was warm, toasted, and super fluffy inside. Even after cooling, the bread was crisp outside and soft inside, not stale or hard at all. The sizzle plate itself seemed to be a bigger portion that I was used to, no complaints. I enjoyed the tender meat and multiple egg yolks to mix with the sauce and dip my bread in. Sauce is a little on the sweeter side. I must say, this dish has impressed me more than other places that charge +$8 for a similar, maybe less impressive dish. Will definitely be coming back for this! I only had a bite of the crispy pork banh mi, but wow, it was definitely crisp! The sauce inside the banh mi was also on the sweeter side, a tad too sweet for my liking.

    A cozy little restaurant in a tight plaza with challenges with parking, but the reward will be worth the journey out on to Bolsa Ave.; the Bo ne here did not disappoint! Upon entering the girls at the counter make you feel very welcomed and greet you right away. They come over quickly with a bottle of iced tea to share and menus to order. Coming here in the AM post work out, I really needed some protein. I was displeased with the several other spots I stopped in for bo ne the ENTIRE WEEK, cause really?! I think all my millennial counterparts understand; all our favorites are gone :( ahem. But onto newer and better things... :) I was surprised to say the least the bo ne plate was fabulous! And the bread was so good I ate the whole thing! I was trying to stay away from carbs but it was soo well worth it. The bread was warm, fresh, has the right amount of crunchy outside and soft, pillowy inside. It went well with the sizzling plate and soaked up all the extra yummy sauce with my steak bites. I also got to try the crispy pork plate and the rice with it was so awesome!! Although I wish I could just have added the Pork to my Bo ne plate as a side, Or if they had a half and half plate in the future, hint hint ;) The sweetest part about all this is how feasible the meal was. I was utterly shocked at how the quality could be so decent with a price so low. In this economy, I am happy to find places like Lac Viet and wholeheartedly invite you to try something amazing that a business passionately puts out there for their community to enjoy and does it very well and feasibly. Thank you Lac Viet Concepts!

    This spot is on my list of go to places in Orange county. It's a small area so there's always going to be a little bit of a wait, but it's always worth it. They only have a few things on the menu but they do it very well. Me and my girl went here at the end of our visit and I wish I found it earlier because I would come here at least once a day. The sandwiches were decent and the meat they use in all their dishes are seasoned perfectly. Whether you're stopping by to get a sandwich, a skillet, or just a coffee you won't be disappointed.

    This place was recommended by friends one night, and since then we've been back several times. The prices are great, especially for the skillet meat with rice or the bánh mì. Service is decent, and the ambiance is nice, though the cleanliness could use some improvement. Still, for affordable and tasty eats, I'd definitely come back. I also heard they recently opened a new location under the Lac Viet concept, which offers a completely different menu from what's served here.

    No matter what time of day or which day I come , it is always packed. When we ordered the Bo Ne, meat version only, they keep bringing out the version with shrimp included. My husband and I waited almost 30 minutes from when we ordered to receive our food. His coffee came out super quick, but I had to remind the waitress to bring out tea and utensils for us. We like the food and all, but the service needs to improve. I don't think they are efficient and a lot of tables were waiting for their food as well. I think they can improve if they let people order and pay before they sit down.

    crispy pork banh mi/ banh mi heo quay
    Trinh T.

    Food: Banh mi heo quay is pretty filling and decent. A bit salty. I definitely wanna try one of the skillets next time. Service: Quick and easy ordering up front and then you can choose to sit and eat there or to-go. Ambiance: Isn't super packed and busy but people will come and go. Casual spot to eat some viet food.

    From com tam to Bo ne and banh mi!! When Lac Viet first opened, I was amazed with their packaging for com tam ( broken rice). It was super neat. It was also good. Not sure why they decided to switch the concept. Over the weekend, i didn't know what to eat so decided to go here. The Bo ne from yelp pics looked really good. Another thing that caught my eyes were the prices lol Bo Ne for around $13?? Why not lol The portion was ok for the price. They replaced pate with shrimps. I like pate so I was a bit disappointed. Bo Ne was a bit too sweet for my taste. It was tender though, which was good. My mom ordered the rice with crispy pork (heo quay). The meat part was tasty, but the part that was supposed to be crispy was really tough to chew. It was not crispy at all. Rice was a bit rough to chew as well. The place was somewhat dirty. They offered special prices at a certain time and for togo. Place can get pretty busy and parking can suk. Weird how most of the spots were 15 minutes only Service was ok

    Wanted to gate keep this place but figured this business needs more love than it's received. Lac Viet Concepts has such flavorful, affordable eats with quality ingredients. It is a small restaurant with a small parking lot but is very cozy and the service is great. Customers are provided with free tea when sitting in. They offer a different price for sit in versus to go. It seems most people order to go but I liked dining in. I ordered the Bó Nè and enjoyed how fresh it was. The bread had the perfect crunch and the bó was cooked just the right amount. I didn't try the drinks but would come back for those.

    Came on a Saturday afternoon. Always crowded and busy because the food is so good and cheap! Small casual Vietnamese comfort food. They offer dine-in and to-go. The menu is pretty small/limited which is perfect if you're indecisive like me. They also offer very cheap banh mis and drinks! -bo ne: 9.2/10. Delicious! Comes out fresh and hot on a sizzling plate. Perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. This is my favorite dish because it's served with a side of bread. - come heo quay: 9.0/10. Crispy! Savory! Delicious. The crispy pork belly was cooked perfectly and the serving sizes of these dishes is huge! There is plenty of crispy pork belly. - com ne: 8.5/10. Delicious and tasty. Similar to the other two dishes, but not my preference of carb. Everything is so delicious, you can't go wrong with any of their items.

    Crispy pork banh mi
    Erin T.

    This has been one of my favorite new finds! We've been here twice but both times were memorable. Very simple menu but everything is good. Both the Com Ne and the Bo Ne are tasty but I find I like the Com Ne more. The rice they serve is delicious and with the sauce it's more satisfying than the bread. We also always get the banh mi so it's nice to have the variety of rice and bread. The flavor is on point and everything is cooked well. The beef could be a bit more tender but for the price I'm not even mad. I do wish it came with pate The banh mi is amazing. They toast the bread - seems so simple but such a game changer. I wish they had a deli meat banh mi combo like any other banh mi place but the pork and crispy pork are great substitutes. Will likely make this place a regular stop in my rotation!

    Bò Né
    Andrew N.

    Great place for Bò Né! The food is delicious and served sizzling hot. The dish comes with a variety of tasty sides, making the meal very satisfying. The portions are generous, the price is very reasonable, and they even offer complimentary tea. Friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely worth coming back!

    Was recommended to try this place by a friend, who i actually visited with. I've never heard of this place but I really enjoyed my experience. They have a very limited menu, but that's okay. We ordered a com tam and a bo ne. The did run out of pate for the bo ne, which was a bit sad, but was okay. The broken rice plate was plated beautifully. It also came with soup. Was it the best com tam I've ever had? No, but for the price, I'd happily come here once a week and enjoy it each time! The bo ne was very flavorful as well. Overall, I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit!

    Menu

    Linited seating place and with simple menu. Basically you have three choice of rice dish, roasted pork, cubed beef and shrimp, or steak). The simplicity of the menu makes choosing easy. I had the beef and shrimp, and overall, it is delicious. For $12.95, I think it is a good deal. The only gripe I had was that the place is not that clean... The wooden board that they use to line the cast iron pan had food crumbs from previous use. And when I asked that it should be cleaned... the waiter said, oh it's not used to serve food... do you want it cleaned? Seriously? He actually said that ‍ I do think management need to re-train the staff on cleanliness and professionalism.

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.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. 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.

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.

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.

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.
