    This restaurant was surprisingly large inside and very clean, with a slightly contemporary feel, especially compared to other Vietnamese spots in the area. They specialise in Hainan chicken, and it shows in every detail. Service was quick and extremely friendly. The owner checked on us multiple times and was genuinely warm and welcoming each time. I ordered the noodles with chicken and it was phenomenal. The chicken was tender and flavourful, and the dipping sauces were excellent. They also give you a mashed chili to mix in with the noodles, which added another layer of depth and just the right amount of heat. We also ordered sides of the young chicken eggs and other offal, served in a bowl of the broth used to boil the chicken. The soup was rich and comforting, packed with pure chicken umami. Absolutely loved this place and will be back soon.

    Great place if you crave for hainan chicken! Nam An Classic with crispy sticky rice $17 - at first glance I thought there was too much rice but it was a good ratio to chicken. The chicken was tender and boneless. The sauces provided were all delicious but my fave was the sweet soy sauce. Rice was crispy and not too oily. I actually came back alone because I craved it again.

    Clean restaurant, nice servers and good food . Couldn't ask for a better experience here. Came in with my mom and she approved the pho ga and lemon grass chicken with sticky rice . The dishes are pricey but with groceries' prices going up, I'm sure that's why they raised their prices on dishes too

    Came back to this Vietnamese-run Hainanese chicken rice spot after 3 years. Chicken portion has definitely shrunk (and price went up $1.10), but the soup that comes with the set tasted from real chicken but not bouillon. Westminster's Little Saigon has endless Vietnamese options, and this one's still a solid pick for a casual meal! Nam An Chicken Rice 15562 Brookhurst St, Westminster, CA 92683

    This is our go to place for Cơm Gà Nam An (Nam An styled chicken and rice dish). They're never really busy and the parking lot's a bit tiny since they're tucked in the corner. We went with our usual #1 order which comes with rice, the steamed boneless chicken, some veggies, a bowl of broth, and 3 sauces: a garlic paste (in love with this), soy sauce, and a chili garlic fish sauce (I think). We also decided to change it up and also order #3 mild spicy lemongrass chicken and rice dish. To my surprise, the chicken was actually pretty tender and moist, but I still prefer the traditional #1 dish. Service was great and will definitely return for the chicken rice dish!

    Beautifully prepared deboned free range chicken with pan fried sticky rice comes with a pickled garnish salad mix with julienned peppers garnished with Vietnamese coriander that's just wonderfully well balanced. The assortment of sauces is nice, choose your flight. If you want light, delicate taste your food type of food, this does not disappoint. I got to taste the regular hai nam rice and imo it was very good. I'm ordering that next time bc I think it pairs better with the way they prepared the chicken. Hits

    I ordered the number 4. Xoi Ga Nam An (comes with soup on the side), they offered the choice of just stick rice or crispy stick rice. I went with crispy, it came with a special sauce for the rice. The dipping the sauces were amazing were also really good, different types of savory. The chicken was very moist and tender. The bones were removed from the chicken. Overall the dish was really good.

    Delicious Hainan chicken! I really enjoyed the crispy rice, reminds me of my mom's chicken dish. Comes with chicken, rice, side salad, soup, and sauces. The service was fast, the restaurant was clean and spacious. The food came out really fast (it was Monday for lunch so it wasn't very busy). The server came by and told me the crispy rice dish would take an extra few minutes compared to the hainan chicken with regular rice -which was totally okay! The dish came out in a couple minutes. Totally would recommend coming here!

    Craving Nam AN chicken. GF got the #5 which was a sticky rice and grilled chicken. Both were amazing, and the waitor was really polite! Great customer service. Will definitely be coming back.

    I ordered the steamed chicken to-go and was completely horrified to find a LIVE snail crawling out of my food. While I understand using fresh herbs, this proves that the kitchen does not wash their vegetables properly. Snails can carry dangerous parasites (like rat lungworm), and finding one alive in my takeout container means the food is unsafe to eat. I had to throw the entire meal away. This is a massive hygiene failure. Management needs to address their washing protocols immediately.

    extra hidden charges

    Good food, okay service, but shady pricing tactics have us never coming back. Keep in mind we never made any special requests, ordered exactly what was on the menu, and was never alerted to any possible options. First, we ordered a side of just ovum eggs. It comes with giblets - very little eggs - something we specifically did not order because we didn't want it. When asked, the server said it comes like that, despite the menu saying "just eggs" (translated). Would've let this slide until we got the receipt and saw all the bogus charges: - charged $4 for giblets with an extra $1 for just eggs. So you claim you can't give us just eggs (even though it's on the menu) and you CHARGE US EXTRA for what you DIDN'T give us? - charged $15.80 for sticky rice with shredded chicken with an extra $1.50 for...sticky rice. Huh?! That's like ordering a cheeseburger and getting charged extra for cheese! That's already part of the dish! We didn't ask for extra sticky rice nor did we get an extra portion, mind you. So shady. - charged $31.60 for 2 nam an classics with an extra $1.50 for thigh only. Okay, didn't know there were meat options let alone being charged extra for these apparent options. The server never once asked nor let us know. So many hidden fees! At least be upfront about these charges. But I guess saying "by the way, if you order the sticky rice, you get charged $1.50 extra for sticky rice" sounds pretty ridiculous, huh? I'm so upset because the food is good and I want to come back, but not with these shady practices.

The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! 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. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. 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.
