    If you're curious about Northern Vietnamese cuisine, Ngon is definitely worth checking out! We started with the Bún Chả Cá, a noodle soup with crab cakes that was incredibly flavorful and aromatic. The broth had so much depth without feeling overly heavy, and the crab cakes were a delicious addition. We also ordered the Chả Cốm, which honestly reminded me of chicken nuggets--but probably a healthier, more Vietnamese version of McDonald's nuggets. Crispy, savory, and really fun to snack on. Ngon specializes in Northern Vietnamese cuisine, so if you're already a fan or want to explore a different regional style of Vietnamese food, this is a great place to try. The restaurant itself is also new, modern, and beautifully designed, which makes the whole experience feel fresh and inviting. Definitely adding this one to my list of spots to revisit!

    Came for a group get together. Was really spacious and open and great for large groups. The bun cha Hanoi was really good, I've never had it before but I kept seeing videos and wanted to check it out. Really fresh and tasty and well priced. It's a new spot and it has good vibes. Service was well paced, really chill.

    Well... sometimes the universe closes one restaurant early so you can accidentally find something WAY better. We originally had plans to eat somewhere else, but after finding them closed early, we pivoted to Ngon and that may have been the best decision of the night. Before the food even arrived, the atmosphere had already won us over. The restaurant is beautiful, warm, modern, and just immediately feels like you're about to have a good meal. We started with the Trà nhài xoài (mango jasmine tea) and Trà nhài đào (peach jasmine tea). My partner took the mango while I went peach, and BOTH were amazing. The jasmine tea was super flavorful and the fruit jam gave them just the right amount of sweetness. Then the Bánh Mì Chảo Bò Wagyu arrived SIZZLING. I'm talking full sensory overload. You hear the cast iron coming. You smell everything cooking. You see it bubbling away in front of you. At that point I was just waiting for permission to attack it. But can we talk about that French roll?! Fresh, crispy on the outside, ridiculously soft inside. I tore off a piece and dunked it straight into the juices from the skillet and pâté... GOOD. LORD. Even the little side salad was perfectly dressed! Then came the Bún Chả Hà Nội, and this thing was a FEAST. A mountain of noodles and fresh vegetables alongside a bowl filled with grilled pork and pork patties swimming in that delicious sauce. Fresh noodles, crisp veggies, tender meat, every bite had something going on. And that's what impressed me most about Ngon. Usually there's one dish where I go, "Yep, THAT was the winner." Not here. The Wagyu was amazing. The bún chả was amazing. The bread was amazing. The salad was amazing. The TEA was amazing. Nothing had to carry the meal because everything on the table delivered. For a restaurant named Ngon, they definitely lived up to it. Ngon nhức nách!

    I was craving Vietnamese food, so my boyfriend and I decided to try this spot after seeing an instagram reel and the reviews on Yelp. This place was definitely "Ngon"! We asked the server for recommendations and ended up ordering their Bun Cha, egg rolls and Wagyu Bo Ne. The Bun Cha came on a decent sized platter. This dish was packed with flavor. Smokiness from the pork, plus a broth that complimented the protein, vermicelli and fresh herbs. Definitely hit the spot and reminded me of our time in Hanoi. The egg rolls were also delicious. I had a very similar version when we visited Da Nang. We appreciated the crispiness and how light the wrapping was. My boyfriend raved about the Bo Ne. The meat was very tender and the sauce took the dish to another level. Also, the price is very fair for the portion size. We'll definitely be back for more deliciousness.

    Ngon means "delicious" in Vietnamese, and I couldn't agree more! This was our first visit and we loved it. The restaurant has a modern decor, tucked in a humble plaza. We ordered the Bun Cha Ha Noi (grilled pork with rice noodles and fish sauce), Thit Heo Cuon Banh Trang (steamed pork and veggies wrapped in rice paper), and Com Canh Ga Chien Mam (rice with fish sauce chicken wings). The Bun Cha Ha Noi was especially flavorful - the fish sauce was perfect and the fresh herbs added freshness to every bite. The other standout was definitely the wings, topped with an incredible sauce and onion mixture. To die for! I do wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger, but everything was so tasty it just left us wanting more ((: Can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

    New Northern Vietnamese restaurant style. Highly recommend Bun Dau and Bun Cha. Nice friendly service as well

    Interior

    They should change their name to 'dở' (meaning bad). My family is convinced that this location is cursed. The restaurant that they replaced also wasn't very successful, and we don't really see this place lasting very long either. I kind of already knew that this place was going to be a letdown when I first saw the sign outside. A lot of these modern Vietnamese restaurants focus way too much on the aesthetics instead of maintaining tasty, authentic recipes. My sister wanted to try this place, though, after seeing someone rave about it on social media. The menu offers a decent range of items, but everything was either extremely salty or completely bland. I absolutely love bánh mì chảo and found that it was the only decent item that we had. My dad is obsessed with mắm nêm and loves any dish where you get to dip something in it, but theirs was so salty and incredibly difficult to finish. * Bánh Mì Chảo Bò Wagyu: 8/10 - wagyu was salty and I wish they gave me a larger baguette * Bún Măng Vịt: 5/10 - broth was bland, and fish sauce had no ginger * Bánh Đa Cua Hải Phòng: 6/10 - soup could've had more flavor * Thịt Heo Cuốn Bánh Tráng Mắm Nêm: 6/10 - mắm nêm was so salty and bitter The interior, however, is quite beautiful and I love how they offer booth seating. Our waiter was working by himself, and we appreciated how hard he was working. One thing we didn't like, however, was that he didn't tell us that there would be an extra charge for asking for more mắm nêm. I feel like any type of additional charge should always be notified instead of just adding it to our bill. Disappointing to say the least. It would be 1 star if it wasn't for the nice interior and good service.

    Vietnamese flavors with touch of Hanoian dishes. Its not really authentic but it's closed enough. The vibe is like restaurants you find in Vietnam. It brings memories. Food is decent, recommend Pho. It has decent hanoinan flavors and doesn't come with herbs (that's how it's supposed to be)

    Hailey S.

    came for a weekday dinner. inside was quite warm especially with the hot weather we've been having. took a bit to get our order in because they were tending to a larger party ordered their spring rolls to share and they were a good size, vegetables were fresh too. our soups came out piping hot which was awesome. my friends preferred a little less fried shallots in their dishes. they feel like it overpowered their dishes. we liked the pickled garlic provided on the table

    Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was great. we'll be back!

    thịt heo cuốn bánh tráng mắm nêm: pork, vermicelli, veggies + pineapple = ($19.55)
    Trung N.

    I genuinely really enjoyed my lunch here. For reference, Com Tam Thuan Kieu used to exist here. With the new restaurant, the space got a glow up and honestly, the finishes are so nice. They specialize in mostly Northern cuisine (so trendy). My sister and I started with an order of bánh mì que ($10.55 for 3 pcs). The mini baguettes are filled with pate and topped with pork floss. I didn't love the version here. I found the baguette to be too soft and the pate was slathered in excess. Yikes. Not to my liking. For entrees, we shared the following: -thịt heo cuốn bánh tráng mắm nêm ($19.55) -bún chả Hà Nội ($17.55) Their version of bún chả Hà Nội is quite good. There's good flavoring in the sauce. The meat is nicely charred and they give you plenty of hamburger patties. This is one of the better renditions I've had in a while, To be honest, I've only ever eaten thịt heo cuốn bánh tráng mắm nêm at my mama's house, so this was an absolute treat. The platter comes with pork belly, veggies, vermicelli, slivers of pineapple, and bi (shredded pork skin). They clearly took notes from the motherland because I've only encountered fresh pieces of pineapple in Vietnam. The inclusion of pineapple is shockingly good. It helps cut the saltiness if the mắm. And while people tend to include pineapple pieces in the mắm nêm, I like thatthey went to the direct source and give you fresh pineapple. Refreshing and perfect to the spring roll. I can see why this place is not for everyone - prices are a bit high and some of the dishes are new new so there's no baseline to compare it to. I, on the other hand, had a really good dining experience here. Highly recommend checking this spot out. It's spacious enough to host large groups as well.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!
