Great menu with a wide variety of seafood and other dishes. Everything we tried was super flavorful and delicious. Chicken feet- good and unique blend of fish sauce sweetness. Nice crispy exterior, but there wasn't much meat. Snails- very small snails, but packed with flavor. The satay and corn flavor reminded me of those addictive Asian snack flavors, like seasoned chips. Crispy Shrimp- Really tasty with rich, buttery garlic flavors. Slightly overcooked, making them a bit harder to peel, but still enjoyable overall. I wanted to try something different than OC & Lau around the area, and glad I did! read more

The decor is kind of hard to pin down, but parts of it gave me the vibe of being tucked away in an alley somewhere in Hong Kong- low-key, a little gritty, but in a cool, intentional way. Service was quick and non-intrusive. The food holds its own too. One thing I really liked is that with most dishes, you get to choose the sauce it comes with. It adds a nice level of customization, and it's especially great that they offer salted egg as an option which I don't see often.. Oysters w/ garlic butter: 8/10 - Fresh, huge, and super succulent. Lobster in salted egg yolk: 8/10 - Good portion for the price with decent-sized lobster tails. The sauce is the star here. Salted fish fried rice: 8/10 - Simple but really well done. Great mix of textures, and whatever they're doing with the seasoning works. Easily one of the better fried rices I've had in a while. read more

Glad To See That Ốc A Chảy Reopened After The Small Strip Of Businesses Burned Down Late Of 2024!! That Strip Was Also On Brookhurst But Closer To Trask Ave. Most Of You Might Remember It Taking Over KOC Crawfish. The New Location Is Closer To Garden Grove Blvd & Has Collaborated With Bún Bò Huế Mợ Lan. Was Greeted/Seated Right Away. Was Given 2 Different Menus. It Seems As If Each Table Was Given White Butcher Paper, Even If You Don't Order Any Bar/Beer Food (I.e., Crawfish, Sea Snails etc...) A Server Came By. Someone At My Table Ordered A Beverage & Before I Can Order Mine The Server Walked Away. Is That Common In A Typical Vietnamese Restaurant? Yes! Ha! I Tried The Bun Bò Thố Da, The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Broth That Comes In A Hot Stone Bowl & Everything Else Is Plated. Missing The Aroma Of LemonGrass It Was Still Pretty Tasty. After Getting Home, I Felt The 'MSG' Come On! Also Tried The Fried Salt & Pepper Chicken Feet & Chicken Cartlidge. Pretty Good Stuff!! read more

Here in the morning at 10am for Bun Bo hue Mo Lan, I wanna say they shared a business with OC A chay because the menu where different in the morning or when we got there. Which was fine because I was craving bun bo hue, and I just finished filing my taxes which it was a couple of doors down the same plaza. This review is an honest one, I know there is a sign in near the cash register about placing a five star review for a soda, ON WHICH I DID NOT DO! AS A YELP ELITE, WE DO NOT TAKE BRIBES!! I spent my own money here. Keep in mind they don't take cards, only cash or you can zelle/ venmo them. They even provide a QR code for easy payment. My total bill was $20.11 (see picture) below and I had to zelle so be aware that they prefer cash. My mom and I wanted to try their bun bo hue since our favorite spot in GG quality has gone down and it wasn't the same owner anymore. We just ordered one bowl of bun bo hue mo lan and asked for an extra bowl to share and I ordered a coke (On which I paid, again as a yelp elite, I take pride in my reviews and never for a bribe). Now the broth was okay, lots of lemon grass but the broth taste a bit of the powder kind of flavor and not actually bone broth. You gotta add some fish sauce and lemon / limes to get out the flavor, lots of meats, I feel like you're getting your $15 bucks worth of good cut of meats, and it does not taste old at all. Decent noodles serving and lots of veggies. Overall, it's a okay bowl, you get your money worth of meats, just little piece of the pig's foot which on my bowl felt like it should be cook down a bit more since it wasn't that tender. Now the beef tendons was super soft and chewy, the liver blood was a nice cut, and it was just enough to share too. If you are just craving bun bo hue meats, this is the place to go and if you don't mind the flavor of the broth, come here. My mom and I give this bowl of bun bo hue a 6.7/10. Side note: There chili or satay isn't spicy, so if you have your own from home bring it or take order to go. (Which they had a lot of to go orders when we got there) Would we come back? Eh, if my mom or I aren't planning to make bun bo hue at home or if out and about in this area. I do like the decor and the theme of the place, my mom likes that there are cartoons about the restaurant bun bo hue. read more

Quite great, better then we expected. We ordered couple seafoods grilled dishes, shaken beef w/ fried & rice. Bun bo hue in hot stone, banh mi o pls & sake. Parking was easy since it is in a big complex plaza. Great and friendly service. Foods are tasty and very yummy. The only thing that wasn't good was the shaken beef, it was abit under cooked and very chewy (old meat?), but the sauce is very tasty and delish. The place is decor with street food signs like and hand paired of Vietnamese restaurant names. With ceiling-to-floor window that over looked the parking lot. Quite lifely vibe. Overall it is a great place for both street foods and main dishes with great and caring services. They also honored Yelps review and they will give you 10% off of your total bill and they also accept zelle and Venmo for payment too. read more

We stop by here and trued based on the reviews. And also, because we want it to eat someplace that we have not tried yet for snails. we normally try a couple other places when we are in the LA area and on vacation. When we arrived inside, had a lot tables at the list packed already. It looked like a really great place to die. The staff on the floor were very nice and helpful. Help us get seated with the stroller. With our baby and everything they had nice lively music playing in the background. Looked like kind of like a young younger crowd mixed in with some families. They help us with the orders andy twin, that came out looked so good.And we couldn't wait to taste them all. I love the snails tasted very fresh clean. Didn't have you know any bad foul smells or anything like that? And all was cooked perfection, especially in the ones the stir fry, with the ong choy. It definitely hit the spot and we would definitely recommend for everyone who loves snails, razor clams, and mussels to come. To top it all off, the service was so great. they purposely held the music down at a lower volume. As we were there at a later time which they said normally at about 10 o'clock, they have a live djj. And they really turn up the music, they have this every weeknight late night and all weekends, they'll play up the music. They saw that because we have our baby with us, that they purposely would hold off on raisingbthe volune, until we finished up. So that was really soo nice of the attentiveness of the staff.We appreciated. read more

I owe this review for a while now. They opened a new location since their old location burned down. I have to say they really upgraded the menu. Their snail and clam and seashell dishes are so good. The service may be slow on busy nights but trust me those servers never skip you they are more than happy to compensate. My favorite is Thai Style clams and Pepper escargot. They also have DJs on Fridays and Saturdays for those who love good music as they drink their night away. I highly recommend this place! Check it out! read more

First time here. Food was mid, not that flavorful: - Oc Len Xao Dua had more empty shells than the snails itself. We talked to a waiter, even he said many guests has complained the same thing (He then proceed to remove the dish from our bill). - Goi Bo Salad Xoong might be the most flavorful dish we had that night. It was sour, sweet, and quite salty, but in the end not that bad. - Cua Lot Trung Muoi was okay. Salty, soft, a bit crunchy. - Duoi Tom Hum was too spicy. The 2 lobsters was dry. - So Diep Pho Mai was mid, not that impressive. The service was attentive, professional, and friendly. The place wasn't too crowded like many other Oc (Snails) places. Cozy nice ambiance. Cool decorations. read more

Sadly we chose this place wasted over $150 not including tips BBB was ordered; broth was so salty we had to ask for lemon wedges; they brought out a rice bowl filled with hot water with lemongrass to add into the bowl of BBH /strike 1 A side of tendons in broth ($5) was lukewarm. I asked to have it remade; they nuked it in microwave making the tendons even tougher to chew/strike 2 We specifically inquired if the scallops were whole pieces and not baby scallops; server said whole scallops. A platter was brought out with orange scallops shells filled with baby scallops smothered in salted egg yolks; nasty/strike 3 We ordered a lobster which our server forgot; had to inquired then it was brought out late towards end of our meal. Lobster was small enough to fit inside the palms of your hands. It was overcooked therefore it was rubbery/strike 4 2 drinks we ordered were too sweet needing iced water to dilute it/strike 5 Never again will we return here We don't recommend this place regardless of other reviews.

I actually prefer this spot over Oc Lau because I never leave feeling overly full or bloated the way I often do at Oc Lau. The dishes come out quickly, and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating. Their coconut snail really stood out to me; the garlic and aromatics gave it a depth of flavor I haven't found at other places. We enjoyed everything we ordered. On our first visit, there was a small mix-up with our order, but they corrected it right away and got the food out promptly. The decor is beautiful and gives off a very authentic street food stall vibe, which I loved. There's plenty of parking, and even when the restaurant is packed, the fast service means you're not waiting long to be seated. Overall, a great and definitely a place I woud highly recommend. read more

They even gave us a big portion of veggies. The soup was very hot which kept our bowl warm the whole time while eating. The soup tasted perfectly seasoned, meats were tender, and it was the perfect amount to get us full. Overall, the food was delicious, 5/5, and the service was amazing, server kept checking up on us and was quick. The Bun Bo Tho Da was $16 which was a good price.

One of the reasons we wanted to visit this restaurant was to try the NOLA Grilled Oyster Combo…read more($69.99). Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent. The dining environment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of television screens so people could keep up with World Cup matches.

Super chunky pork and not overly sweet. Baked to perfection! Beef in steamed rice paper rolls - this was okay. I felt like the beef lacked the flavor versus shrimp.

Second visit here, and I still enjoy coming to this place. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it's…read moreactually cleaner and more spacious than many other dim sum restaurants I've been to. The service is good. They use a menu ordering system rather than the traditional carts rolling around, and I have to admit I miss the carts. There's something fun about the serendipity of seeing a dish go by, pointing at it, and trying something new. I also enjoy having a wide variety of options available. They did bring around a few plates to offer, which was a nice touch. I do have one major complaint: they list siu mai on the menu, but it really isn't siu mai. Traditional siu mai has a thin wrapper around the filling, while what they serve is essentially a ball of filling. I ordered the shrimp and mushroom version, but it was basically a shrimp ball topped with a shiitake mushroom. The individual dim sum pieces are larger than average, which is nice, but it also makes them easier to prepare and doesn't necessarily justify the very high prices. In fact, I think this may be one of the most expensive dim sum restaurants I've been to. When you're averaging more than $10 for three pieces of dim sum per dish, it becomes too expensive for a regular visit. That said, as an occasional treat, it's still a nice place to come.

The downside was the service when it was time to pay the bill. When one person's card declined, our server announced the balance on the card out loud in an annoyed tone instead of discreetly letting us know the payment didn't process. We used a different card, but I wish the situation was handled more respectfully. Some of the interior was a bit worn down but it didn't impact my experience. There is plenty of seating here and we were seated right away. The parking lot is very small. I recommend parking on the street, across the street, or in the neighborhood.

Or maybe they like the cuisine, but for health reasons they've been told to avoid eating it. I know for me I just haven't come around to a lot of Asian cuisines that are focused on high vegetable and low protein content. But to this day Toby and I have never shared a seafood boil together. She has a germaphobe reaction to eating food with her hands and there's no easy way to knife-and-fork stuff like shrimp, crawfish, crab, or lobster. She's offered to get something else like fish n' chips or a plain steak or something, while I get myself a boil. However, one of the joys of boils is digging into a mound of Cajun-flavored seafood together as a group effort. A wondrous temple to the art like Roux Seafood Kitchen would be wasted on her. I couldn't get enough of their shrimp and crawfish. They were both plump, flavorful, and disassembled easy in my hands. At a lb. each, I was more than stuffed at meal's end. I think the only thing that could've made it better is if I had ordered a lobster tail in there. That would've been my ideal order. The service was great here for my party. The drinks were refilled quickly, the food was brought out in an efficient manner, and even the order taking was controlled in what kind of have been haphazard conditions. I liked the ambiance too. The dining room was a spacious and accommodating. The music was low. And the crowds were busy but not super full, which is where I like it. Nobody was on top of each other at neighboring tables and the noise level wasn't drowning. All in all, I think this is the perfect example of a seafood boil joint. The only thing that could've made it better is if my oldest eating buddy (and ex) could've miraculously gotten over her condition and joined me. That's the dream.

Every family has their own recipes, every restaurant has its own personality, and every meal tells a story. Ngon delivered one of those meals. Despite being packed at 11 a.m. on a Sunday, our party of seven was seated immediately, an impressive start. The dining room was clean with a tasteful, modern design that made the space feel comfortable and inviting without losing its neighborhood charm. The Bánh Mì Chảo arrived sizzling with a rich beefsteak, sunny side egg, Vietnamese sausage, pâté, and plenty of savory sauce made for soaking up with the bread. The side loaf that comes with the plate deserves its own mention. It had a beautifully crisp, crackly crust while staying soft, light, and airy inside, making it impossible not to finish every last piece. We also love pâté, and this dish used it perfectly without overpowering everything else. The Xôi Thịt Kho Trứng paired sticky rice with tender braised pork belly, a fried egg, crisp pickled vegetables, and crunchy fried shallots for a comforting combination of sweet, salty, and savory. The Bún Chả Hà Nội featured a bright, balanced broth with fresh herbs and delicate rice noodles. The grilled pork had excellent smoky flavor, although the pork patties were a little tougher than I prefer. We also shared a Bánh Mì Que, whose crisp bread and savory pork floss made for a simple but addictive bite. The Vietnamese coffee was just as memorable: clean, smooth, pure tasting, and free of bitterness. The iced green jasmine tea was very refreshing. I would order both drinks again.

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 staff are incredibly attentive and careful when taking your order, making sure every detail is right so nothing gets missed. That level of care really shows, and it makes the whole experience feel smooth and satisfying. One thing I really appreciated is that what you see is what you get--the food looks just as good in real life as it does in their pictures. They're not just advertising; they actually deliver on it, which is refreshing. Their most popular dish--the fermented noodles--is a standout. It's honestly better than Nam Giao and other spots I've tried (too many to even name). You can really taste the difference in quality and preparation. You can tell they're working hard to build something meaningful here, not just serving food but creating a place people can trust and come back to. They also accept cards, which makes everything convenient. If you're deciding where to eat and want to support a place that truly tries its best--this is one worth giving a shot. Their effort deserves to be noticed.

I loved the mustard green soup just like the way we made at home in the old country. The greens crisp tender, the broth slightly sweet and savory. The fried tofu with the crispy pork bits sits a pool of sauce exemplifies part of what is great about traditional Viet cooking: heavy on plant based food while the animal products is meant heighten the flavor. Finally the shrimp and pork caramel dish compliments the soup and the tofu for even more flavor and texture of the shrimp peel (totally edible).

Service: Our server was nice, though we weren't checked on or received water refills. I ordered Thai Green Curry Shrimp w/ rice. The server came back to ask me if I wanted to order another dish bc they ran out of ingredients for this specific dish. I decided on another rice dish. She came back again and ask if I wanted the original dish I ordered bc they actually do have the ingredients. There seems to be a lot of back-n-forth or miscommunication. Food: I settled for the Thai Green Curry Shrimp w/ rice dish. The flavors of the shrimp were nice and smoky. Just wish there was more shrimp. I thought the rice tasted okay. The flavors were good, but I expected more broth and creaminess. My mom ordered Hu, and she seemed to enjoy it. Pricing: I noticed these are average prices nowadays for small businesses. For $15.99 for shrimp and rice, I'd expect more protein. Overall, the food was good.

My wife and I was both looking for some comfort but authentic Vietnamese food, we both from the west country side of vietnam so the expectation and standard were a bit higher but they definitely met our criteria. She got the Banh Canh and I got Hu Tieu. Was first considered getting Bun Rieu but auntie was teasingly said a real gentleman wont eat that so I ended up with Hu Tieu. But hey, it was the right call. Hu Tieu's noodle was perfectly cook with generous portion they made, a lot of meats with flavorful broth making it taste delicious My wife's Banh Canh also came out in a huge bowl with a lot of seafoods, especially it was included avalon as well, which put the bowl up to different tier. Portion was also pretty good, happily to said my wife also enjoyed it. Overall 5/5 so definitely recommended P/s: Ambience was a bit dark inside and their set up no so high up there but honestly I was there for the food so it made up!

5-Star Review If…read moreyou're looking for authentic Bún Riêu with snails, this place is worth visiting. The soup arrived piping hot, exactly how Bun Riêu should be served, and the flavors were outstanding. The broth was rich without being too heavy, and the bowl was generously loaded with crab, tofu, crab cake, fresh herbs, noodles, and snails. A tip for anyone trying it for the first time: be sure to mix in the mắm ruốc (fermented shrimp paste) and the ground Thai chili paste. Those two condiments elevate the broth and bring out the authentic flavors. I stopped by during my lunch break and was in and out in about 45 minutes, including dining in. The service was fast, attentive, and efficient. It appeared to be a family-run restaurant with the husband, wife, and son working together. Duoc, who helped me, provided excellent service. Great food, excellent service, and authentic flavors. I'll definitely be bringing my entire family here the next time we're craving Bun Riêu. Highly recommended!

The bun rieu broth was delicious and I loved the pork blood. My only complaints are 1) there was not enough noodles for a $15 bowl, so if you don't add any vegetables into your soup then you might not be full and 2) it was really hot inside the restaurant; no AC? But as far as taste goes, it's delicious!

The flavor of the broth had a rich umami and it was better than most restaurants. I never had this dish with chicken before, so this was something new but I really liked it. 10/10 The service is a typical viet restaurant. The server was nice and attentive if you needed something. I'd come back.

Specializing in Mi Quang (one of my fav unknown viet dishes) and Banh xeo, they really nail everything here. The menu is short is sweet, so you know the food is gonna be bomb.com Banh beo- a popular steamed rice appetizer, this was sooo good. The presentation is great, but the nuoc mam was even better. It had this depth of flavor and when added to the Banh beo, it just made it soooo addicting, what a great start Banh Xeo- 100/10 it comes in 4, and they make it smaller than most places BUT it's super crispy and they give you rice paper to roll it up as spring rolls! I'm used to the lettuce wraps and never had them as spring rolls, but now I can't imagine not eating them as spring rolls! the flavor and texture of the crepe was amazing and we absolutely housed this dish. Mi Quang - 9/10, also a fantastic dish. The noodles tasted like they were house made and the soup was delicious. Usually some places have a thicker sauce and barely add soup, but here they focused more on the soup, which I ended up liking more! Can't believe I haven't gone here earlier, will def be back for all three dishes again! And a plus, it was all so reasonably priced
