Perfect for catering and authentic Vietnamese dishes! They offer a huge menu with tons of foods to choose from. If you're having a party or event, be sure to order and book the food here. I highly recommend the bánh canh tôm cua, bún bò huế, and items wrapped in banana leaves. * Bánh Canh Tôm Cua: 8/10 - flavorful, tons of crab and shrimp patties They have indoor dining which I recommend so that you can taste the food fresh. They're located in the popular Garden Grove Shopping Plaza so parking can get difficult at peak times, but people are always going in and out. Very good!

I was aggressively craving some BBH after a Halloween night. I needed some hearty broth to help with my hangover. My aunt suggested we go here and I'm so glad. It's very limited seating as most people order to go. The bun Bo hue was rich in flavor and hearty. The meat was all that I wanted- 5/5. We ordered and banh beo on the side. I would have preferred it in the little dishes but again this place is to go so they set it up on one dish. These were also really good - 4/5. They also gave us each that yellow liquid in a cup. I forget if it was tea or like a savory broth LOL.

Food is ok but the service and dining environment are awful. I tried to ask turn on the air conditioner but got answered no. Won't come back. 避雷 避雷 千万别来 很热的环境老板娘还不开空调, 还不给水喝。

Bun Bo Hue

Easy to ordered Togo. Ordered ahead for easy pick up service. I ordered the Banh Cuon Thit Nuong. Very tasty which comes with their house sauce. It's $2 a piece and I ordered 10 pieces. My husband devoured this dishes and loves it. Also ordered a large Bun Bo Hue, I believe it was $14 for large bowl. Tastes pretty good and I can taste they put shrimp paste in it. I also order Banh nam which is shrimp with mincemeat pork wrapped in banana leaf. I really missed this so had to ordered it. It hit the spot but I am used to the minced pork only without the shrimp with Banh nam. Ambiance is a pick and go place. There are some tables for dining in but I don't see people dining in. Will come back for the regular traditional Banh cuon.

Avoid this restaurant. The food is terrible--it's like eating a watery mix of MSG and nothing else.Do an gi ma toan la bot ngot. One star cung thay Khg duoc. Te qua di!!!!!

Banh canh Tom cua
Christine D.

Great for casual dining. I know they also do catering trays and to go orders. Mom and I came in for banh canh tom cua. Both got regular size bowls which were more than filling. I don't know how much crab was in it but there were shrimp balls and dried shrimp and greens and onions. With the amount of shrimp balls, I'm not mad that the crab was missing. Broth was simple but flavorful, banh canh was chewy, and shrimp balls were beo. I'm definitely coming back to try other items.

Recently ordered from BBH togo because a friend recommended it. I got a large bowl and it was listed at $13 a bowl. I do love how it came with so much fresh veggies, it had a variety of herbs I don't usually see with BBH so that was nice. Meat was semi tender, noodles were soft and puffy, the shrimp and fish/meat ball was tasty. The pork piece could have been more tender, and the pork blood is always tasty lol. The shrimp/fish/meatball were HUGE and I quite enjoyed that. The broth itself was ok, but I was missing more of the spice spice if you know what I mean. Comparing it to the other popular BBH place, I think this one lacks that dimension, that extra essence. Growing up as a kid, I frequent this plaza a lot and would wander in and out of all the stores. This place has been here forever and it has changed throughout the years. I remember when it was just a strict togo place, but now they have added tables and you can dine in as well. I'm glad to see this place still surviving after all these years. When I went to go order my food, a few people came in to order party trays etc. If you're an avid BBH lover like myself, and want to try all the ones in the area, I would give this one a try. You never know, your taste buds might be difference than mine.

One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything…read moreshellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

This Vietnamese fusion seafood restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and hot pots. We started with the razor clams, which were the standout of the meal. They were incredibly flavorful and paired with a delicious sauce that had us wanting every last bite. The spicy scallops were another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. The escargot was a little chewy, but the savory sauce made up for it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum seafood hot pot, which was just okay. We also had the deep-fried tilapia, which was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside. It's hard to go wrong with anything deep-fried here. Overall, the razor clams and deep-fried tilapia were the highlights of our meal. If you're willing to wait for a table, this is a good spot for fresh seafood with a few standout dishe

The pork patties were my favorite, and although there were plenty of the grilled pork, many of them were pieces with a lot of fat. That was my only gripe about it. Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor. The accompanying broth on the side was great as well, with hints of dried shrimp reminiscent of a really good HK wonton noodle soup broth. Highly recommend this place!!

It comes served piping HOT so be careful! We also had the bun cha ha noi which is a very traditional Northern Vietnamese Nanoi dish. It has grilled pork patties and pork belly in a sweet savory fish sauce served with fresh herbs and cold rice vermicelli. You pretty much eat it by wrapping it with the lettuce or dip your noodles into the sauce. Very authentic and delicious without being overly heavy. There isn't much service here since they seem to be super short staffed but they do have delicious authentic Northern Vietnamese food so we absolutely will be back again!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. 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. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. 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.

From the moment it hit the table, I could smell how rich and flavorful the broth was. You can tell it wasn't rushed--it tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Every spoonful was comforting, packed with depth, and had the perfect balance of savory flavors. The beef was unbelievably tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the noodles had the perfect bite. This is the kind of meal that reminds you why pho is one of the best comfort foods out there. What really impressed me was the freshness of everything. The herbs were vibrant, the bean sprouts had a great crunch, the jalapeños added the perfect kick, and a squeeze of lime brought the entire bowl together. Every ingredient complemented the broth instead of overpowering it. I found myself slowing down just to enjoy every bite because it was that good. By the time I finished, I was honestly wishing there was another bowl waiting for me. The service and atmosphere made the experience even better.
