    It's definitely a backup nem spot when you can't get into brodard. I got the pork rolls and they were decent, definitely not better than brodard but got the job done, they serve you with the warm sauce which was good but the pork itself a bit dry. I also got the summer rolls which had too much lettuce and not enough jicama, can skip this. Service was whatever but interior can be cleaner lol. And parking definitely horrible here so come prepared.

    Was waiting for my kid and was in the neighborhood therefore getting some Nem rolls for snack. Still good with the price. Friendly service and nice place. Easy parking and order with fast turnaround.

    A nice quick service alternative to Brodards! I find this place easier if you don't want to call in advance, as I've never waiting for than 5 min for smaller orders (up to 6 rolls). Though recently they set a minimum of $20 for card payments, which makes it tough if you don't have cash for a small order. They also had a special and threw in a bao which they are promoting now. Overall, the nem nuong rolls are slightly cheaper than Brodards but they can be a little skimpy on the fillings - maybe not enough lettuce or maybe the nem nuong shape (flat) makes the roll feel less full. Still hits the spot in a pinch.

    Located in a very busy plaza so parking may be challenging. It's also a small store front you walk up and order and the menu is on TV screens kind of hard to read since there is a glare from the window. Cash is recommended as you will get a 5% discount on your order. I got 3 nem cuon and 3 bo bia. The order came out quickly in less than 5 minutes. The nem cuon was good and the dipping sauce was still warm. However I still prefer Brodards rolls better. The Bo bia was terrible. They added little shrimps into and I was not expecting that I have never had Bo bia with shrimp in it. It made me nauseous. There wasn't lot of filling either this fell very short in my books I would skip the Bo bia. If you're in the area, can find parking, have cash, and are craving nem cuon, try it. Other than that I would say skip it.

    A good choice for nem nuong rolls! I like coming here because they're easy to order with and you can just run in, pay and grab them. I'll call the same day and they have it ready in 20-30 minutes. It's a small place so take out only. Parking can be a bit challenging since it's a small lot.

    this is a nem spot located in a tight parking lot. area is also a little sketchy and it felt unsafe to walk around for too long. the service is quick and they accept tap to pay. the flavors are good and savory. may come back, just not too sure about the safety of location.

    Great alternative to Brodards. Their spring rolls are fresh and go well with the dipping sauce they provide. Don't forget to take off the Saran Wrap when eating. We ended up ordering a party tray which was 20 pieces of the nem for $45. We ordered there and it came out incredibly quick. They said to wait 5-10 mins. Parking can be rough because it's a corner plaza with a small lot shared with multiple businesses.

    I ordered 28 rolls. Normally, I get 1 mini cup of sauce for every 4 rolls, so for 28 rolls I expected 7 mini cups. I only received 6, and when I asked for a couple more since 8 of us were sharing, I was told that because I already had big containers of sauce, the maximum is 6 . The food is really good (8/10), but this experience makes me less likely to come back.

    After coming back to the shop after some time, I felt that the spring rolls were no longer as good as before. They were very dry and hard, and the sauce was watery. The spring rolls were already cold right after I received my order. The staff looked very tired and not very cheerful.

    Great rolls and friendly staff. This is a to go place and nowhere to sit. The price for the food is good too!

    Too much noodle and bean sprouts. Sweet Tamarind sauce, not peanut sauce

    I'm sorry but this is the worst rolls I've ever had. Starting with the peanut sauce that tasted nothing like peanut. The sauce is a very sweet tamarind sauce. Spring rolls have too much noodle and bean sprouts. I had to pick out the noodle and bean sprouts. The sauce was unbearable. I dont know how they couldn't even get the basic sauce right. Dont listen to the online hype, go to Brodard or any Viet restaurant

    Located in a small plaza, the parking spaces are designed for compact cars btw. It was a simple menu, which is great because they are selling food for what their specialty is. You order at a counter and it's all straightforward. The menu is on a tv screen. It's a clean spot with two small benches to sit at while you wait. I got the nem cuon. It comes out wrapped individually, the portion size is a bit smaller then a some spots I go to. I have mixed feelings and wouldn't say it's bad but it's not amazing. The dipping sauce is clean and warm. I would say check it out and give it a shot.

    Nem nuong cuon has a very special place in my heart. Unfortunately it's not always good. But NEM? NEM did it just the way I like it. This place is a take-out only spot. Ambiance is appropriate for that kind of operation. They pump out Nem Nuong like clockwork. I got the party platter, which had 20 pieces. Perfect amount. They also give you a whole tub of Nha Trang sauce. Perfection. I called ahead and the lady on the phone was prompt, clear, and had excellent customer service skills. I asked for 20 pieces and she had them done in 15 minutes. My girlfriend and I couldn't contain ourselves. We got into the tray and finished half before getting the the party, blasting Sublime We took a trip to Garden Grove. Smelled like Lou Dog inside the van

    Did they move to another location? Thanks

    How are their goi Cuon pork and shrimp rolls? Does it have mints and other herbs or just lettuce and chives?

    They have some Vietnamese herb on it. But you can tell us what you don’t want. We can make it for you.

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    Most of their rolls are made to order. You can always request not to include meat, at least at the store by TK supermarket.

    How is this sauce compared to brodard?

I keep craving the food here, so I brave the crowds and come back anyway. It's THAT good. One thing to note: definitely ask the servers about the menu, but don't feel like you have to order everything they recommend. Our server raved about the coconut prawns, which were $60, and unfortunately, they were not worth it for me. Long wait, loud atmosphere, questionable $60 prawns... but I'd still come back for the seafood.

I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change.

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.
