    Bun Bò Thố Da (Hot Stone Bowl)
    Mindy L.

    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!!

    everything was fast, fresh, and tasty. It didn't have much of a seafood taste, you really taste the sauces and toppings

    28 bucks was kinda warm

    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.

    Amazing service- all the recommended dishes were delicious. Come here for the snails, the scallops, chicken cartilage, hot pot, etc You can't go wrong and it's one of the places that are open later as well

    I came here before going to karaoke and I was so happy I did. I loved the scene inside look like a movie set. I imagine a good amount of creativity was put into this place. As well as the service being fast and reliable. The food itself is worth the price. I was happy with my meal and got to make a good connection over it.

    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.

    Sea food is very good and we had lobster with salted egg the sauce is pretty good too. My favorite is clam soup. The flavor is authentic !

    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.

    Food is tasty and service is prompt. We like the food here. They fill up our water very quickly too even though it's 30 min before closing.

    Peppered escargots
    Connie D.

    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!

    Good food and good service. Been here for years. Still good as always. Will come back again.

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!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
