    My friend treated me to a lunch date here and I'm happy she did. I would not have known of this place as it's easily The dishes here remind of real down home cooking. Not fancy just solid and hearty.

    This is hands down the best mom and pop spot for Vietnamese food in the city. My family and I come here at least two or three times a month, and it NEVER fails to hit the spot. At this point, we should honestly be shareholders for how often we eat here hahaha. The food is consistently delicious and authentically Vietnamese, from the flavors to the presentation. Every dish tastes homemade with so much care and quality. The service is also top notch, our server has been here for years and is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If I could suggest one thing, it would be a rewards system, maybe a coupon after every five to seven visits or for every hundred dollars spent. It'd be such a smart customer loyalty move. But regardless, we'll definitely be back again this week LOLL.

    Restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese homely comfort "com phan" dishes. They also serve Thai food. Because of this, the flavor profile of some of the Vietnamese dishes are influenced by Thai flavors (think sweet & sour). Ca Kho (braised catfish) 3.5/5 - Definitely on the sweeter side than what I'm used to. The filets are meaty and the sauce is a little watery. Typically the sauce would be on the thicker side to enhance the caramelized flavor. Decent dish and always a staple to order for Vietnamese comfort food. Canh Chua Ca (hot & sour catfish soup) 3.5/5 - Again, definitely on the sweeter side than how it's usually prepared. The soup is served in a large bowl instead of a hot pot. I do appreciate that there is a generous amount of catfish filets in the soup. Dip the fish in the chili fish sauce! Muc Xao Sate (Squid in Sate Sauce) 4/5 - Surprised by how much I enjoyed this! The squid is tender and the sauce is flavorful (with a lot of onions). Perfect dish to pair with the rice. Not much of an ambiance here; just your typical mom & pop shop. Service was that of a normal Vietnamese restaurant. Upside is they end your meal with dessert!

    Catfish from soup! Huge portion!

    Food and service were great. The restaurant was small and packed! You know it's gonna be good! We were craving some comfort Vietnamese food and came here on a recommendation! We had thit kho to, rau muong xao & canh chua ca. Definitely hits the spot! Will have to come back for more dishes! They even gave us free dessert (Che) after our meals.

    Not sure why the English name is Restaurant Miranda since they are a Vietnamese/Thai restaurant? This place is authentic (couldn't exist in Fountain Valley if it wasn't) and it looks like you better speak Vietnamese to eat here (although the servers do speak English) but the specialty dishes here are not my thing such as catfish. They do sell Thai dishes like Pad Thai but was told by friends who selected this place that it's best to stick to the Vietnamese dishes. The clay pot braised catfish, hot and sour soups, purple yam soup (didn't get), stir fried ong choy and shaken beef are the dishes that people come here for. So, find what sounds good to you on the Vietnamese Specialty Dishes section on the menu. After reviewing the menu closer, this would be a 4-star review if I got to order the food I liked (LOL). Check out the menu and my pics.

    I love this restaurant. Even though they are quite busy, they always seat me right away. I am by myself Sunday 11-3-2024. The food I ordered were excellent, one of the waiters recognized from years ago, greeted me and served me with the menu very promptly. I appreciate the excellent service and the best Vietnamese traditional food . Really enjoyed my lunch

    This is authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered : Hot and Sour soup with taro stem catfish . Braised catfish in the clay pot , Crispy tofu , lemongrass chicken,stir fried Ong choy with garlic . Food was just okay , a little sweet for my taste . The portion size very little for the price. Everything we had to ordered 2-3 dishes but we're still hungry, bad service and you have to pay attention to your bill to make sure that they add up right! .

    Stir-fried chicken chili with garlic mint
    Molly E.

    Wow, surprisingly very very good! It's a hole in the wall, and definitely a low key spot that is popular amongst the older folks. Comfort food Family style dining. We ordered the braised catfish in clay pot and the "Dinner for 4" for $48.95 that included - seafood tom yum soup, fried fish with sweet and sour dip, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried chicken chili and garlic mint, and stir-fried vegetables. What a deal! Enjoyed everything we ordered. Every dish was so flavorful. Such a great find! They even served some hot mung beans with tapioca dessert at the end of our meal. We came around 6pm and it was really busy. There was a line outside with a waiting list by the time we were finished with our meal. They close at 7:30pm so be sure to arrive before the dinner rush. Will definitely come back again soon!

    If you are looking for Vietnamese soul food, this is the place. It definitely reminds me of my mom's cooking. The service is friendly and the food tastes great. Whenever I feel like eating simple food, I would meet up here with my friends. We love the simplicity and flavorful Vietnamese dishes. Nothing fancy just plain old good soul food.

The broth was bland, had no taste, but was way too sweet. No lemongrass at all. The broth wasn't hot enough, so we asked to be reheated. Very few toppings were a miss. We didn't even finish half a bowl because it tasted too bad. The service was slow, even though there were a couple of customers at that time. If we needed something, we asked ourselves when my server was. Won't recommend it to anyone. Will never come back!!!

I really like the young coconut avocado -- it's perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and not too heavy. My daughter loves the beignets because they are always served warm and fresh, which I really appreciate. The black coffee isn't too strong for me, though it might just be that I'm already used to a lot of caffeine. The shop itself isn't very big, but it's very clean and nicely decorated. The presentation of the drinks and desserts is also very eye-catching. Most importantly, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming, and they always treat customers nicely, which makes the experience even better. Parking can be a bit difficult. The spots close to the shop are limited, and sometimes you have to park a bit far away. Overall, a nice cozy spot I keep coming back to.

    Being the coffee addict/lover that I am, I've been waiting to try Viland Coffee for some time, but…read morethe wait was always too long or I was just not in the area. Lemme tell ya now tho..the hype is legit. On this Friday afternoon, I happened to be lunchin' w/ my mums in the same plaza at the new Mai Phat Mi Gia 2 and was craving a mid-day pick-me up, so we stopped by. Located in the heart of Little Saigon on Bolsa Ave, facing outwards towards the street & Bolsa Mini mall, Viland is a cute & quaint coffee shop ~ serving up your traditional Viet coffees & matcha drinks, but with modern twists. There is plenty of seating & tables inside and the modern decor is inviting for the perfect coffee date, catching up w/ friends, studying, or even a quick stop to satisfy your coffee cravings (like me!). You order at the counter and/or on their touch-screen monitor (by the front entrance), then you are given a buzzer to await for your order at the pick-up counter. The staff was friendly & very efficient. They had an extensive menu featuring specialty drinks, fresh pastries, and light bites. Both my mumsy & I opt'd to try the young coconut blended coffee cuz I've been in my coconut era lately. Lol It was $6 for a 16 oz..so decently priced. It's very reminiscent to a frap with yummy young coconut blended bits found within. The coffee was strong, but once mixed well w/ the coconut, the flavors married perfectly and it was very balanced. At times, I wished for a bit more coffee hit, but it was actually just refreshing enough to end our lunch date. Both my mom & I loved our coffees (and let me tell ya, she's a hard critic to please) and would definitely come back to try the many other drink offerings. I was super bummed that the beignets sold out already (mind you, we stopped by about 1:30 pm on a Friday)..so it must have been good. :( Darn, next time! Total RxFoodie recommend!!!

Same with the rice porridge, though it had more flavor than the hu tieu. The donut in there was pretty good too. The spring rolls were basic. I did like how the carrots inside were pickled and added a bit of tang. The banh xeo tacos were interesting. Nice and crispy. I didn't anticipate all of the mushrooms, but it was good. Definitely needed the sauce. Interesting place to try!
