    Banh Beo
    Terrenz V.

    Maybe it was an off day, but I remember the bun bo hue being better. Maybe it was lacking spice this time around. The banh beo has always been really good here. I also got a catering order of banh nam for a holiday party and my family loved it. The staff were super friendly. The restaurant is spacious. I once brought my family of 20+ people with no reservations and they had no probably accommodating.

    My Bun Bo Hue.

    I arrived here just before they were closing which is 7:00 pm. Parking was easily accessible since most of the businesses close early at this strip mall. Service is on point and I went with a large bun bo hue. The portions of protein are generous and I was totally satisfied and full with my bowl of soup. They now accept credit cards versus the old policy of cash only which is convenient. Ngu Binh remains one of my favorite spots for Bun bo hue in Little Saigon, Westminster.

    I haven't been back here for over 2 decades. The place looks the same style (simple with big screen tv of fish tanks or VNese scenery), well kept, clean and organized. Parking was easy since it's in a big plaza so big parking. Well services, or abit too well since got in, got table, got menu and was asked what I would ordered and was standing there the whole time...with smile. Got ordered and fast turn around. And almost every time I got food into my mouth, got the staff stop by asking if I need something. I guess people complained about lack of service here but I got over serviced. The foods were good, thought it would be better and their spicy was not at all..I would say the"white" version of spicy. Even their chili saté on the table was not even a 1 star for spicy, I kept adding (6 spoons) into my bowl and not a thing, not even a hint of it. Yes it cost from $15 from small bowl to $17 for big bowl, and it was decent size. Broth was okey, lack of something, seasoning was okey....somehow I remembered it would be better, but just AOK. Their cha Hue were good, well seasoning and worth it for $3.75 for 2 rolls. Overall, good but nothing standout or memorable. Glad I stopped by and give it a go.

    I came here to try a few things, starting with the Banh Beo. The portion size is great. One order comes with ten pieces, and they are generous with the dried shrimp, which is the key to good Banh Beo. I was indifferent about the fried onion on top, but overall it was solid. I also ordered the Bun Bo Hue. The broth was not very flavorful or beef forward, and it fell a little flat. The pork trotter was mostly the foot rather than the meaty part, and the pork blood was on the overcooked side. I did appreciate the homemade cha. This place doesn't have tendon which is a bummer. After a while, the broth tasted one note even after I added lime and sate. I did not finish my small bowl, which is unusual for me. I tried the Nem Chua as well. I might have gotten a bad batch because it looked dull instead of a vibrant red, and it had a strange aftertaste. I would not order this again. The lady working the counter tried to upsell a lot, which was a bit annoying, but she was very sweet and friendly. The restaurant is clean, the food comes out quickly, and I love that they bring out a full assortment of veggies to go with the Bun Bo Hue. It is decent overall, but it is not one of my top spots for Bun Bo Hue.

    Best Banh Beo in town. Restaurant is located in a strip mall and parking was challenging. They offer a variety of different Vietnamese dishes such as Banh Bo Hue, Mi Quang, and others. I come for the Banh Beo. Loved the toppings. It had the perfect assortment of crunchy and flavor. The fish sauce was so delicious and accompanied the dish so well. It's definitely a must have if you can visit.

    The service was quick and friendly. I had the number 2, size small and it was fulfilling.

    Here's an updated review for Ngu Binh. I still absolutely love this place. The staff, who tend to be on the older side, are always warm and attentive, at least in my experience. Ngu Binh continues to be my go-to spot for Bún Bò Huế. I usually order the small Bún Bò Huế ($14.95) and Bánh Bột Lọc Trần ($14.95). The food comes out quickly and consistently hits the spot. They accept credit cards, which is a huge plus in this area. Parking can be a bit limited, but if you come in the early morning, you'll usually find spots right out front.

    Bun Bo hue

    One of the best Bun Bo Hue spots I've had. Rich, deep broth with that slightly spicy kick--feels really authentic. Honestly better than some places I've tried in Vietnam. Simple, no-frills, just really solid food. Definitely coming back.

    The best here
    Vu N.

    Ngu Binh is my go to spot in oc for bbh. This location specifically. I love how they always give me so much veggies. Great amount of meat. Pork leg was cooked perfectly. Meat is all done well. Broth isn't too salty. But I love coming here for the banh beo. Fish sauce is just right. Good amount of toppings. Yes parking in the plaza can suck. But If you time it correctly it's worth coming here if your craving Bbh

    Food: Came in wanting the mi quang and it was pretty tasty, definitely enjoyed it. The bun bo hue was okay, not bad but not super standout either. Also tried the cha and it was decent. Service: Really friendly and accommodating. The staff were conversational and made the experience feel warm and welcoming. Ambiance: The space is big, clean, and well kept. It's a chill spot overall, easy to relax and enjoy your food.

    The food was very very good and the bun bo hue was also very good. Will come back for those chewy shrimp balls! The service was excellent too! The crispy mochi's came our fresh and yummy!

    Combo 2 items - banh beo , banh bot loc
    Aurelia T.

    Good flavors and portions Mi quang is default on the saltier side so add limes and chilis and it's well balanced ! Service is always very nice and warm. restaurant is clean and decent :)

    Food: went here for their bun bo hue, but was disappointed with the lacking in flavor. The waitress recommended a fried mochi kind of dish and it was delicious. Banh xeo is good, topped with the pork skin and shrimp bits. Service: the waitress only spoke Vietnamese good thing my mom was there to help. Ambiance: seem nice and clean

    Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo.

Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce.

Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

    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.
