Even though I got the small size, it was basically 2 portions for me. Had to rest the rest to go It comes with pork blood cake, pork hock, sliced meat, and viet ham. It was a good bowl of bun bo - I dressed it up with the herbs and banana flower (not pictured) read more

Wait was about 20 min on a Sunday! Banh it ram (6.5/10): overhyped imo....95% dough and 5% filling. Would be much better with more filling, but I did really like the crunch & that there aren't any mung beans in the filling LOL mi quang dac biet (7/10): very solid. The noodles are white bc they don't use food coloring to dye the noodles yellow anymore. The broth was seasoned perfectly and wasn't lackluster or too salty. I'd consider getting this again but there's prob better out there! Great service though, everyone was so sweet read more

know this vietnamese restaurant from reels and decide to come here while on my way to san diego. when i was here, it was packed. the restaurant is quite spacious. for foods: * bún bò huế đặc biệt: taste is mediocre but it comes quite complete with blood and meats... * bánh bột lọc trần: this dumpling is a must dish that has to be ordered. the sauce is also quite spicy and perfect combination... * bánh bèo chén: another dish has to be ordered. the crispy pork rind is so crunchy and so good... * cơm sườn tôm riềm: a rice plate that comes with pork ribs and shrimps. the pork ribs is so tender and sauce is so good. a bit sweet but when it mixed with rice, the taste is just right. just a suggestion: giving radish and carrots pickle will make it even perfect... * bánh ít kẹp bánh ram: love this appetizer actually. almost cannot find it at other vietnamese restaurants ~ must try!!! * nem chua: it is good but don't like it when biting the pepper. wonder if pepper ground powder can be used instead of whole one??? overall, if you are a vietnamese foods lover, you have to try the dishes at this restaurant. prices are wise, just a bit difficult to find parking space... read more

Jumped on the viral bandwagon. The banh it ram was what others had to say to about it: crispy, mochi-like. Although it lacks filling, the super chewy rice texture makes this good carb savory staple. Good to share - 1 piece was enough carb for me. Looks like fresh mochi like texture made on their end so definitely worth a try in you're if the area. Also got the banh beo - was surprised by the portion size here. They give you a lot of the rice cakes here. Paired with some at home veggies, good for more carb loading. read more

We came here for the Ban it ram for to go! The restaurant is located inside a mall, plenty of parking. The ban it ram was $17 and comes with 4 large pieces. Was a little disappointed with the dish, too much carbs and the fried part is too rich, can barely finish one, wish the sauce was a bit thicker. This dish wasn't it for me but would love to try other dishes here. read more

We came here specifically to try the Banh It Ram, please note they make the dish fresh so we did have to wait 20 minutes for it. The service is SOO friendly! Thank you to the nice uncle who let us sit inside even though we had a to-go order and made our drinks quickly while we sat and chatted. Banh It Ram - 4/5, large portions with good flavor! I'd compare it to a crunchy rice cracker with mochi and shrimp filling on top. Lots of nuoc mam sauce! Salted plum drink - 5/5, really good sour plum flavor and the club soda isn't bitter!! One of my favorite drinks, soo happy to find somewhere that makes it well. Vietnamese coffee - 4/5, very strong and bitter. read more

Date of visit: June 2025 This seemingly low-key restaurant allowed me to try some Vietnamese dishes that were new to me. I came here on a recommendation by a friend. It's his favorite place to get bun bo hue. I was curious about other dishes, so I got other things too. 1 bun bo hue dac biet $15.95: this was really good. I'd come back for this. Also it was my first time seeing banana flower served with the bean sprouts and other veggies! 12 banh beo Chen $12.95: It was fun to try, but too much food! It was weird to take them home. It comes in 10 small plates. 16 mi quang dac biet $15.95: Nice flavor. I enjoyed the noodles! 20 nem chua $1.50. Good to try haha. It's just a meat wrapped in banana leaf. I wouldn't know if this is authentic compared to the other bajillion Viet restaurants in Little Saigon, but I enjoyed my experience. The server was so helpful with answering questions and added suggestions. -free parking lot -bathroom available -credit card accepted read more

Our family was visiting from out of town and really wanted to try this place. We were honestly surprised by how low the ratings were because we enjoyed everything we ordered, from the banh beo and banh ram it to the bun bo hue. Then again, places with lower ratings are usually the hidden gems, so I'm glad we decided to give this spot a try. Luckily, we came for lunch and were seated right away. The service was amazing, the servers kept checking on us, making sure our order was correct, and refilling our water. Everything came out hot and perfect with no issues at all. Our family was so quiet during lunch, and we realized it was because everyone was too busy enjoying the food 10/10, we'd definitely come back! read more

I have come here for their Bun bo hue and maybe a durian smoothie for years. Quality has not changed over the years and still tastes delicious. Portions on the large bun bo hue are very generous. I have yet to find a better place for bun bo hue. The wait can sometimes suck and parking can be bad, but still worth it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I don't know what happened, but they changed their recipe for the famous Bun Bo Hue noodle soup. The new version as of Jan 2026 is watery, thin, lacking in flavor. It tastes like water and weak beef broth, totally mid. And they raised their prices, up to $15 for a small bowl. Disappointed. read more

Ngự Bình Restaurant - Bun Bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I just ordered takeout from this spot today and I ordered two items Ban Beo and Bahn Ram. Was super excited to try these dishes since I'm a big Vietnamese food fan, but as I was eating the Bahn Ram, I noticed a wire cooked into it, it sort of looked like a part of a sponge and it was blue, right away I lost my appetite and couldn't continue. I decided to move onto the Ban Beo and I come to see a piece of hair in my food also... thought they could possibly come back from the sponge cooked into my food, but on top of that there was a hair.. As for the food it was delicious, but I genuinely lost my appetite. I do have high hopes for this restaurant as it was busy on a Saturday afternoon but they definitely need to double or triple check the food they send out because I almost ate a wire or sponge.. read more

I'd been here for ten years ago. At that time, everything was okay. I suddenly stopped by this place a week ago, and everything had changed dramatically. The quality of food (not tasty at all) and service were awful and slow. The floor was dirty, so I was concerned about their sanitation. The cashier (I guessed an owner) was so mean, impolite, and rude. She didn't appreciate customers who came to support her business. Maybe she's been in the US for years, but she still didn't know how to treat customers properly compared to others, especially in American restaurants. Will never be back here again, even though they're free. So long!!! read more

My family has been going here for over a decade. It is consistently one of the best places for Hue food. Pro tip: Only go to this location which is the original. The second location is not the same at all. We love the banh beo chen, ít ram, and banh cuốn tôm. Service is very quick. read more

My family and I went here once and from there I remembered the location. The BBH there is decent but they give a lot of meat to noodle ratio. I do prefer the meat to be on the softer tender side, while theirs is a little chewy still. They give lots of cha too, the broth is super flavorful but it definitely gave me heart burn after :(. I would come back here, since the broth is pretty solid. Service and wait time was a little over 10+ minutes read more

So...it's no secret I'm vietnamese. I don't often go out for Vietnamese food, but this week, I had a hankering for some Bun Bo Hue at Ngu Binh. It's a spicy noodle soup that's way different than pho, but still equally as good! Come check it out with us! Shoutout to Josh for letting me drag him to this joint. We also were joined by a guest and long-time friend of the show, Kathryn! They serve way more than just this Bun Bo Hue (Pronounced Boone Baw Way), though, so you have plenty of options to choose from! Firstly, I got the 3 items combo, which comes with 3 different kinds of rice flour steamed dumplings and cakes. It sounds a little weird, but it's delicious! They come with this sweet and savory fish sauce that makes the perfect condiment for your various rice flour dishes. There's so much more to vietnamese food than meets the eye! Kathryn got a chicken salad with rice, and while it sounds plain, it's punchy with flavors that delight the taste buds. Chicken, herbs, cabbage, all served next to chicken-flavored rice? It's a combination that's sure to give you a culinary concussion! Finally, onto my craving, and the reason we came here. I got the Bun Bo Hue, and it was spicy, savory, sweet, and filled to the brim with different stuff in there, so you never get bored of eating it! There's pork, beef, sausage, and even blood! You can dress it up with chili oil, limes, herbs, and bean sprouts, too! If you think pho is getting monotonous, get a load of this unfamiliar soup! If you're ever trying to eat Viet food with someone who's been, what better place to get it than Ngu Binh?!! read more

Honestly, what is there not to like about this place? Plenty of parking, plenty of seating. The restaurant feels like a typical Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered bun bo hue, Vietnamese iced coffee, and banh it kep banh ram. I was so excited to try the banh it ram because I've never had it before and I don't think it's a common dish? Needless to say, it was good! Chewy, mochi consistency steamed dumpling filled with pork and shrimp on top of a crispy glutinous rice cake. Service was quick and attentive. They gave my toddler a free bowl of bun bo hue soup (no spicy) with noodles- oh he loved it. The bun bo hue lacked spice but good thing they have a jar of spicy chili oil on the table. I appreciate all the vegetables & herbs they gave us to go with our noodle soup. It's the biggest and most generous plate of herbs & vegetables I've ever been given for my noodle soup! It consisted of bean sprouts, lettuce, banana blossom, mint, and Vietnamese coriander. The Vietnamese iced coffee was okay; thank goodness it wasn't a strong mocha flavor. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back to try other things. read more

Bun Bo Hue is ok. 3 out of 5 stars. The noodle amount is also minimal. Good attempt to do house made a fish cake but lacks flavor and overly peppery. Broth also lack depth. Quan Vy Da is still has better BBH. Also tried their pork/shrimp rice cake. Overly thick and chewy. Did not enjoy that. I won't be coming back. But my reviews is mostly in the BBH item read more

On the look out for good Bun Bo Hue. This place was not it. It wasn't bad per se but it was missing something. It was missing the flavor of lemongrass and the shrimp paste. The restaurant had 3 other customers in there an hour before closing so that was a good sign. The banh beo was excellent! The rice cake was tender and moist and the fish sauce was perfect! We had durian shakes and a Thai ice tea. The space is open and wide. There is only one bathroom but it's really spacious. read more

Don't let the overall 3.5 stars discourage you from trying Ngu Binh. I'm unsure why it has a 3.5 star rating honestly. I went to Ngu Binh on a Saturday afternoon to have lunch and there were some tables available. I got to pick where I wanted to sit and the waitress came and took my order quickly without wasting any time. She also checked on me as well while I was eating. I got bun bo hue, their specialty. It was flavorful and had a ton of meat in there. I was offered a bunch of veggies to top up with. The bowl of noodles was good. So again, why the 3.5? read more
