    75. Grilled Chicken, Shrimp Wrapped & Eggrolls on Vermicelli
    Anhvy D.

    The staff is attentive, but the restaurant is nondescript. We arrived just before the lunch crowd. Door dashers were abundant, too, so this restaurant definitely has a loyal customer base. The presentation of my grilled chicken, shrimp wrap, and egg roll on vermicelli was beautiful, but the dish overall lacked flavor. Even after the second serving of nuoc mam and lots more chili sauce, I asked for ớt hiểm (fresh chili), hoping that was what was missing in the flavor profile. Sadly, the restaurant doesn't have any. Vietnamese restaurants in La Mirada and La Habra do though. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish, so I'll order the pho next time.

    45. Korean BBQ Ribs & Fried Egg on Broken Rice
    Patricia L.

    I had been ordering food at this place whenever my family is in town. The food is great and it is also delivered the fastest among the restuarants near the vicinity. Excellent customer service. We had the following dishes: * Grilled Pork and Egg Roll - Flavorful meat and crispy egg roll. * Grilled Chicken Sandwich (banh mi) - One one of the few places that offer this yummy sandwich. They make sure it is not overgrilled. * Korean BBQ Ribs and Fried Egg - Simply delicious! * Chow Mein - We got beef as our protein. Savory dish! * Vietnamese Fried Eggrolls - Always a hit! Simple yet tasty. * Yang Chow Fried Rice - Big serving and big meat pieces. * Lychee Tea - You have an option of a black tea or green tea as the base. We usually get green tea and lychee flavoring is added. Very refreshing drink. Hope to visit this restaurant in person one of these days. :)

    Number 12, beef brisket pho

    Was in whittier, so brought my wife here to get pho and banh mi. We each ordered the beef brisket pho and shared a beef banh mi. Both dishes were very tasty. They really hit the spot for our pho and banh mi carvings

    Thai tea and shrimp and pork spring rolls

    Really yummy local spot! I had the #3 pho and I thought it was really good, the beef was very tender! The service was quick, and the staff was so nice and friendly. I felt like the prices were comparable to other pho spots, and it's only $1 more to make the pho bowl from a regular to a large. The thai tea was also really good. The inside was clean and spacious, and I did not use the restroom myself, but someone I was with went and said it was very clean!

    Music is loud. Food is good. Service is quick. We were pleasantly surprised with this north OC Vietnamese restaurant. They have an extensive menu! The food came out hot and soooo fast (less than 10 mins). I enjoyed their crispy, flavorful calamari appetizer.

    1. Phở Đặc Biệt (House Special Noodle Soup)
    Casey G.

    Great Pho and service! They're renovating the outside area for outside seating too, looking great!

    12. Brisket Noodle Soup
    Ivy C.

    Ordered the brisket pho but there was no brisket to be found. Some may like the fat but me personally, I enjoy the tender brisket meat. This wouldn't be the first time for me to be disappointed by their brisket and you would think I would learn my lesson by now... Guess you will see me at pho-ology next time around!! Honorable mention for the broth, the egg rolls, and lychee tea!

    Beef vermicelli with egg rolls
    Fernando M.

    First time here. Great menu selections. The staff is friendly and gives excellent service, the food tastes great! It's a small restaurant but has enough space to eat comfortably with a party of 4 or 6. I think this place is a great find! Definitely coming back. I ordered the House Special Pho that included tripe, rare steak, and brisket. My son ordered the beef Vermicelli with egg rolls. Both fantastic dishes!

    Receipt

    Have been coming here for a while now and this place never disappoints. I've only experienced their take out food option and have yet to sit inside the restaurant, but it's such an easy process to either order online or call in to order. You can go wrong with ordering any of their many pho soups but my go to is the brisket pho. This was my first time trying their beef spring rolls and it was worth it! Definitely recommend trying them out! I posted the receipt as the yelp photos are pretty old essentially all the pho items are roughly the same price of $15. Next time I eat inside I'll grab a pic of the menu! Over all not bad for the price!

    Pho: rare steak, well done, brisket noodle soup & a passion fruit green tea
    Joyce J.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the pho here. You can choose a regular or large size pho. The large size was HUGE & the regular size was also quite substantial. We were also quite happy with the authentic taste of the broth. Good job! On a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant wasn't full, but there were quite a few customers... a big group and a few other tables. The servers were friendly and helpful. If I'm back in the neighborhood, I would consider another visit.

    Do you use star anise and/or cinnamon in any/all of your Pho? I'm looking for soup without them. Thanks,

    Hi, we have 3 kind of broths which is beef broth(pho), chicken broth and vegetables broth. Only the beef broth has the star anise and cinnamon on it the other two broths haven’t.

    Is it owned by Vietnamese?

    I think so. I did communicate with the owner and his name is Vietnamese. Also, the staff seems to be Vietnamese. I do not know for sure, but that is my assessment.

The back of my mind is just the pounds of sugar in his recipes, but oh well! Located in a strip mall, with many Korean restaurant contenders, Mr. Paik has a pretty steady trickle of customers. You order at the counter and pick up once your beeper buzzes. I ordered a jjajjangmyun (black bean noodle) and tangsyuyuk (fried pork) to share with my sister. The portion makes sense with the price. I must say the best experience is to eat there while the food is piping hot. Mr. Paik hands down the best jjajjangmyun and tangsyuyuk that I had... the texture, sauce and everything was just perfect. They had other items that I want to try next step, like the stir fried jjampong! Reviews on their seafood jjampong didn't seem too popular, but ordered one to go to try and it was good too!!! This is the one time I shouldn't have trusted the negative reviews. Can't wait to come back again!

Lol. Shared space with so many high traffic shops like Hmart, Daiso, 85 bakery and Kang Hodong Baek Jong Kbbq. We were lucky to find a spot at 6:30pm on a Friday. We decided to eat out in the patio area since the weather was nice. The jjajang myun was really good. What stood out was how chewy the noodles were. And their yellow pickled radish had a nice tang to it, not too sweet. I also liked that they have 2 filtered water machines that dispenses both hot and cold water from copay. I will definitely be back to try their jjampong next! Hope parking is okay next time too.
