Ngoc Suong is a great place for a celebration. Ca Nuong (Crispy Roasted Fish): The large whole roasted catfish is a thing of beauty, all golden brown, with perfectly crispy skin. Dip the round rice paper in water, then add some of the fish. The massive plate of herbs and vegetables is fresh and immaculate. Add some mint, basil, perilla, pickles, and plantains into the wrap and enjoy. You can also dip it in the sweet and tangy tamarind sauce or fish sauce. But, you should really go for it and use the fermented fish sauce. Try and step outside your comfort zone. Sure, it's funky, but its complex flavors really amplify this dish. Mi Toi Bo Luc Lac (Beef Garlic Noodles): The shaking beef is the ultimate Vietnamese-French fusion, seared with butter, black pepper, onions, and mushrooms. The cubes of tender filet mignon mix nicely with the garlicky egg noodles. Banh Hoi (Woven Vermicelli Noodles): The rice vermicelli noodles are woven together into flat bundles that resemble gauze bandages. Make a lettuce wrap with a layer of noodles, herbs, some grilled pork, shrimp, and egg rolls. Dunk it in the fish sauce. Dining Area: The banquet hall has tables as far as the eye can see. Parking: The plaza has many available spots. read more

Went here with friends and it was amazing. My friend knew the owner. I don't really know what to order when at a Vietnamese restaurant so it was great to have my buddy do it. The place was very clean and had a lot of people already eating. We were seated right away. The food was fantastic. From start to finish everything tasted so good. The stuff I like especially was the fish dishes. The soup with whole pieces of fish was my favorite. We had 2 different rolls one veggi and the other had meat. Both different and great flavor. I didn't take too many photos since I was starving and trying to take all of the food in. We must have had 10 dishes. Totally stuffed and I loved it. I definitely will be coming back for more. The staff was amazing. read more

Heard about this place from a friend so we decided to try it out since we were in the area. This is quite a large restaurant that is divided into two dining rooms. There was a private party in the other space and we could hear loud music and some karaoke singing. The right side dining room that we were in had a center stage and looks like you can fit a hundred people for a party. Food was very good. We really enjoyed the grilled shrimp. Service was attentive. The owner lady walked around several times asking us if we need anything. Parking can be a challenge when there's a large party going on. read more

3.5 stars. Ngoc Suong Restaurant was a bit strange to walk into since it was somewhat fancy but also casual. I'm thinking you can host a micro-wedding here if needed? Came in on a Friday around 6pm and it looked dead from the outside. There were only 2 other parties eating when we were seated. And that was it till closing. Anyways, the food was actually good but it was really overpriced for what it is. Service was decent, not too attentive but also not lacking. Ca Kho To - A staple dish in the Vietnamese household. The fish was fresh and did not have a fishy taste. The caramelized sauce was sweet and salty and went well with white rice. I'd say it was a little too salty but not bad if you're having rice. Cuon cai be xanh - I can't imagine where they thought charging over $4 per roll was reasonable. I get it's a little specialized but that's insane for spring rolls. It was good overall and different from your usual, but way too overpriced. Canh Chua - another household dish but it was just alright to me. Goi with Tom and muc - we were indecisive between the shrimp or squid, so they were able to do half/half. The salad itself was flavorful so you didn't need to add much fish sauce. It was a refreshing dish to have as a side. read more

We're so happy to have discovered this beautiful restaurant. We had 3 round tables of adults and young kids and we enjoyed the interior design, food and service. Lien was a wonderful person to work with to have pre-ordered dishes and she appreciates making good plans for larger groups. We all loved the several cute spots to take photos and selfies because they care about the design and beauty of their restaurant. If you are looking for a upper scale Vietnamese seafood restaurant, please check them out! I planned this lunch for my party of over 25 ppl and everyone enjoyed the experience, I'm soooooo relieved ... Thank you NGOC SUOUNG!!!!!! read more

This is both a restaurant and an event space. Food was decent. Service was a bit disorganized. * Simmered Catfish (ca bong lau kho to) 4.5/5 - The caramelized fish (ca kho) was very good. The catfish was pretty fatty but that's just how the fish is. I enjoyed this. * Simmered pork ribs (Suon ram) 3.5/5 - This was okay. The ribs were salty, but didn't have a lot of flavors. It was also a little too sweet. read more

Delicious family style food! I greatly enjoyed every dish. Each dish is quite large and perfect for sharing with the family. My party was a party of 8 people. The garlic noodles with lobster tails - the tails are huge! Also, the garlic noodles slightly had a nice creamy sauce on them. Sooo good and different than just your regular ole butter garlic noodles. Since the lobster tails are so large, this dish does take some time to make but well worth it. Oc Len xao dua was great! It had a lot of ocs in them - definitely did not skimp. Didn't have heavy coconut flavor but still good sauce. This was my first time having this kind of goi / salad. Never had it with fried fish before but it was soo yummy! Very rare dish, as it is typically not on any menus of most viet restaurants. I enjoyed the meat in the Banh hoi Thit nuong; it was sliced in small bite sized pieces and well flavored, tender too! Overall, great place for family style dining! Would like to come back :) read more

My family and I had lunch here today on a Sunday. We made reservation ahead of time for 12 people and got two round tables put together. There was a huge Christmas party for senior people in the main area with the whole stage and karaoke and dancing so it was extremely loud but lively....i guess free entertainment? The service itself we really like actually. They definitely did not have enough staff but all their limited staff worked so hard and were so accommodating and so nice! The owner was super nice and sweet too and she was super busy tending everywhere. We got two orders of the large size baked catfish (abkur $69.99 each) and the portion and all the veggies dipping sauce rice noodle that came with it was a lot more than at other restaurant! We also got the caramelized catfish which was really good. Two bowls of the canh chua tom (Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with shrimp), and one com chay with cha bong and lap xuong (burnt rice with shredded pork and Chinese sausage). Portions were big so we did not finish our food at all. Good thing we did not order more! Oh we also for egg rolls which was also really good! Overall everything was really tasty and yummy and they were very accommodating trying to get our orders in early so we won't get delayed with the huge senior party's orders. I would definitely recommend this place for family style sharing and if you have families and friends visiting this is the place to take them for Vietnamese food! read more

This is the restaurant to go to if you want authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered a medium baked catfish that came with an assortment of veggies, vermicelli noodles, and rice paper so we could make our own rolls. The skin of the fish was extra crispy while the flesh was juicy. It was absolutely delicious! They had a variety of dipping sauces. I loved the tamarind sauce. We also ordered the Cuon Ca Be Xanh, which is pork belly and shrimp wrapped in a green leaf veggie, kinda like a green leaf lettuce. It was soooooo yummy! The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. There was classical jazz playing in the background, which created a romantic ambiance. Nice place for a date when you want Vietnamese food! Our server was pleasant and took good care of us. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Delicious spot for family-style dining! What I liked about this spot was how big the portions were and the sheer variety of dishes they have, making it a good spot for celebrations and groups. Everything I tried was tasty, especially the tomato tofu, sweet and sour fish soup, clay pot fish, and tamarind shrimp. The spot also has a large parking lot, which is super convenient. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and it has never let me down. Such friendly service. It's also a great event space. The food is so delicious. The lobster garlic noodles, nuoc mam (fish sauce) chicken wings, ca kho (caramelized fish), canh chua (sweet and sour soup), egg rolls, and bo luc lac (shaken beef) are my favorite! 10/10 recommend read more

Garlic noodles + house special shrimp!!! Flavorful and filling! This is prolly the type of establishment where your hip uncle or aunt would have a party lol it's ok to come here in singles or couples ========= $40 so kinda exp, but the portions are relatively large. Service was pretty friendly and the restaurant was quiet at 430pm. Garlic noodles with beef + mushrooms Less buttery than other places, but served with thicc pieces of sautéed beef + button mushrooms . This dish wasn't dry and def shareable. The egg noodles are bouncy and chewy, none of that spaghetti you tend to see :) House special shrimp This is under the main courses, and it came with 4 meaty ish pieces of shrimp. The sauce is on the sweet side, and I wanted something pickled to eat alongside this, but still super enjoyable! I togoed the sauce to eat with other things hehe Open on Tuesday and the food comes out quick! They even got a couple seafood dishes like oc and lau, and tho the menu is very extensive, they definitely got some gems here. read more

This is one of those full-service, banquet style restaurants that specializes in seafood and many Vietnamese family style favorites. I feel like these bigger restaurants that could accommodate huge groups are going the way of the dodo bird. The last time I came here was when my parents were in town, and a bunch of my aunts and uncles and family friends met up here for a late lunch/ early dinner. I thought all the food here was delicious and it reminded me somewhat of the stuff that my mom made when I was growing up. I thought the lobster garlic and those were great. And the comforting dishes like the fish sweet and sour soup, the braised fish, the shaking beef, and various sautéed veggies were all wonderful. I thought the service was fine too. But maybe it helps to speak Vietnamese here ha ha. I didn't do any of the ordering, but it seemed like it was very easy and they were attentive and accommodating to our group. Also, I must note that it helps to go to a place like this when a generous family member is picking up the tab. I'm sure it was quite expensive , but I can't speak to that. Overall, if you want a delicious meal with lots of traditional dishes available and be able to have a nice sit down meal with a giant family, this is a great place. I seriously can't think of a lot of restaurants that you would be able to say the same with. read more

Không phải nơi lý tưởng để đặc tiệc Food ngon nhưng service quá tệ. Tôi trả tiền cao hơn khoảng 200 đồng 1 bàn tiệc nếu so với nhà hàng khác, nhưng tôi nghĩ we get what we pay. Nhưng không service quá tệ, không phải vì nhân viên mà là người chủ nhà hàng có vẻ rất tiết kiệm,không muốn thuê thêm nhân viên. Tôi có đặc tiệc 10 bàn, nhưng chỉ có 3 nhân viên phục vụ, mà còn share nhân viên với 1 party khác cùng thời gian 1 bàn tiệc chỉ cho free 1 chai nước, so sánh với nhà hàng khác là 2 chai Food is pricey but great Service is really bad. We paid more than $200 compare to other restaurants, but we didn't get what we paid We had a party of 10 tables, but they had only 3 servers and had to share them with another party happened at the same time. My guests were waiting so long to have the food read more

This spot is great for extra large family gatherings. I usually get Bo Luc Lac with garlic noodles. It's no Crustacean by any means, but it's still satisfying. But last time I was here, I had the egg rolls for the first time. WHAT!! They are super crispy because they use the weaved rice noodles instead of boring rice paper or wontons for the wrapping. It is incredible and I want to go back for more ASAP. Service is fast and very matter of fact. They are usually busy, so don't expect smiles. Focus on the food and you'll be fine. read more

This should be a very nice restaurant as it is nicely decorated. There's white tablecloth. Food is decent, however, attitude of owner & servers are horrible. They have very limited servers who ignore you and are non-communicative. Also, service is terribly slow. Our American friends did not get any utensils and we got NO napkins. Food came out one by one at more than 15 minutes intervals with no serving utensils. When we finally got the napkins and utensils, the food got cold. The owner was there and came around to take orders but with no greetings and a cold face. There are so many other restaurants around with very good food so we will not be returning here. Don't think the owner cares because she still gets customers. read more

I was there for my friend's daughter graduation. The place was nice and cozy, the food was good, I especially liked the lobster with noodles, It's tasty with less oil.

Ngọc Sương restaurant offers a wide range of authentic menu choices. However, their dishes and soups tend to be quite salty, more than average restaurants' levels. If these foods can be less salty, there would be more customers to come and enjoy them. Please consider this health conscious recommendations. Thank you. read more

Food was okay. Service was good. I think 4 stars is a fair rating because the food was above average.

This restaurant is actually a small banquet hall. They serve food that you will typically have for a Vietnamese weddings. However, you can enjoy those dishes without being invited to a Việt wedding. Portions are huge. We ordered 5 dishes for 5 people and left feeling so stuffed plus some leftover to take home. I loved the tamarind sauce squid salad. Very flavorful and different from other restaurants around the area. Everything else is missing something in the seasoning to take the dish from being edible to excellent. Don't expect a fast service if there's another party hosted when you're there. They don't have enough staff. The restaurant will be decorated according to whatever wedding will take place later in the day so expected to see a decorated backdrop to take some photos there. read more

Must try: Cuon Cai Be Xanh, Mi Xao Hai San Mem, and Che 3 Mau! Why: Had a wonderful experience with my family (7 ppl) trying some delicious dishes. I loved the Cuon Cai Be Xanh (lettuce rolls with pork and shrimp). I've never seen the meat tied outside on top and each bite was fresh and delicious with the fish sauce. I ordered the Mi Xao (crispy egg noodles with mixed seafood) and loved the mix between crispy noodles and soft noodles in sauce. There was plenty of seafood and veggies also. Lastly, I got the Tre 3 Mau and it came in a large mug. I've not had that in a while so it brought a smile to my face and tummy! My family also got Goi (mango salad) and Canh Ga Chien Nuic Mam) to share, both of which were great. The dishes are large portions, perfect for sharing or enjoying all for yourself! Notes: The service was amazing! The server was super helpful and friendly. The owner or manager also came over to check on us. We came for an early dinner (5:30pm) so there were not many people yet. It's a spacious restaurant and the bathrooms are clean. Great place for large parties since the round tables have a roaring center for everyone to share. read more

The interior was decently looking but when it comes to customer service, it's awful. They are very understaffed, therefore, communication becomes difficult when there is so little server but so many customers to be taken care of. However, a server there was very helpful and gave us a pleasant experience throughout the night and made me very satisfied. I believe such hard workers should receive a raise and be treated nicely in the workplace environment! read more

Food is ok but too pricey for bad service. Service is terrible, not even a thank you after our dinner, motherflowers!

The food is mediocre at best, edible but nothing too impressive for the price. This restaurant is extremely understaffed, a girl worker had to run for her life and juggle between tables. The owner is unwelcoming, all she does is boss around her staffs and doesn't even try to help the customers herself. Overall, the management of this restaurant is TERRIBLE, it's clear that the staffs are overwhelmed and under supported. read more

Food is delicious, but expect to wait for everything. It took about 30 minutes for somebody to come and take our order and another 20 minutes for the food to come out. This was our second time there and had a very similar experience, the first time around. In fact, it was so busy, they just left us a pad of paper to jot down our own orders the first time. Asking them for anything was a hassle. There were only two servers. The poor young guy was literally running around the restaurant. The owner really needs to hire more staff. read more

We had a late lunch after my father's funeral. This is a very difficult and stressful time for me but the restaurant made the process easy and smooth. They arrange the chairs beautiful and the food was delicious. Ms. K Lien followed up with me to make sure everything was set for the 40 guests. All the guests loved the food and the price was very reasonable. The butter garlic chicken wings were crispy and flavorful. The mango salad with steamed squid was refreshing and fresh. The egg noodles with seafood was a favorite amongst the group and all the other dishes were also amazing! Everything was excellent from beginning to end. Thank you so much Ms K Lien for the great service and making the lunch a success. They made a difficult day a lot better, we were able to relax after a long day. I would give them more stars if I could. -Trisha read more

Let me tell you about how delicious this place is! If you like seafood, specifically catfish grilled in a delicious lechon-like manner and veggies, then this is the place for you!!!!! The catfish is cooked to perfection with crisp, savory skin and the meat is so tender and you can literally see the simmer of smoke as you dig into the meat of the catfish. Service is so good and helpful. If you're a newbie here, you'll wonder how to eat it. Simply grab the rice paper put in the hot water and put your veggies and fish into it and they have a variety of sauces, fish sauce, brown sauce and red sauce. Sorry don't know the names you'll just have to come here, sit down, ask for their specialty catfish dish and boom! Experiment and enjoy. The environment is chill looks bougie but not. Next to a dilapidated Stater bros. Actually closed down stater bros. Cool Vespa motorcycle in the front to take pics with. But you are here for the food. You can't go wrong with food. Okay stop reading my review and go here now! Bye! read more

My mother invited a lot of us for a pre-wedding luncheon and ordered a ton of food. It's all pretty good! The chicken wings, the fried seafood noodles, the bak cho, and a few other things I don't remember. But it was all really quite tasty. I was really pleased. They took about 16 of us also but had to put us on 2 separate tables. read more

My recent outings with parents where I couldn't think of a Vietnamese restaurant has room for a wheelchair and authentic Vietnamese food. We were all super satisfied arrived to Ngoc Suong restaurant. We ordered in beef Phở, chicken wings, steam clams with lemongrass (their clams are huge) and of course garlic noodle is the must. The staffs bring all the condiments without us asking. (My parents are both in their late 70s) We enjoyed our family time over the great food, we would recommend to our family and friends whenever they're in Little Saigon Bolsa. Note: parking is plenty! read more

It's a cute small place. The Bo Luc Lac was good. I wish there was more meat. If you zoom into the photo, there is more mushrooms than there is any meat. And then the bottom layer is of course lettuce and tomatoes. The lobster dish with garlic noodles was good. They didn't really open the lobster good enough because it was hard to extended the lobster meat out. A lot of the guests just left the lobster and ate the garlic noodles. The mango salad and the soup was best out of the 3 dishes. read more

This restaurant has been my to-go to for the past few months. My favorite is the goi be xanh rolls. However, all their dishes are well-done. They have the typical family style dinner (soup, main course, veggies) and the more popular dishes like pho, grilled pork vermicelli. I've had their lobster too and it was also scrumptious. This is a great place for family dinner or parties-there's a small private room that I often sees people book to host parties when I'm picking up food. read more
