Fantastic filet minon pho bowl. I ordered through uber eats and it came hot, everything separated and ready to put in a bowl together to mix in and it was delicious. I look forward to a dining experience soon.

So good! The restaurant is located on PCH and has a modernized-traditional vibe. The service was extremely quick and friendly, I appreciated that our server helped us with recommendations on his favorite imported beer for us to try. The food was phenomenal, especially the coconut pandan waffle. It had an incredible crunch on the outside, as well as a chewy inside. This paired so perfectly with their side of whipped cream!

There is limited parking by the restaurant. (Own parking lot) You order at the counter and they bring you the food. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is a clean restroom inside. We ordered banh mi, garlic noodles, wings and dirty fries. Everything was super tasty. They give you soda cans. They also have water with ice so you can easily serve yourself. I would return and taste the other food items.

Such a nice little authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Laguna right along PCH! It's so nice this restaurant has opened up because I can never find authentic, ethnic and affordable food in Laguna. It's now our favorite little lowkey spot! We came on a Friday summer evening and there was no crowd or lines, so we were able to order our food and find a seat right away. Extremely cost effective for Laguna beach, super convenient and homemade feeling, fresh and healthy and tasty Vietnamese food. The food is really comforting for me and I always feel good after eating here! Definitely recommend visiting !! Then go for a walk across the street to the beach for an epic sunset!!

Omg so freaking good!!! Went there for lunch today. I had the filet pho - asked for lemongrass broth. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. My husband got the curry - he ate every last drop. We got the wings as an app - also delicious!! We'll definitely be back!

The food was so fresh and it tasted amazing! Really nice patio next to the beach and comfortable seating. Friendly staff :)

Actually really good food. I went solo, which is a rarity, and ordered a couple things that the cashier recommended. I got the Vietmanese Coffe/Thai tea combo, and it was really good. I also got the grilled pork bahn mi and the fried egg rolls. It was all good. The eggrolls were nice and crispy with a good tangy sauce and the bahn mi's grilled pork was really flavorful. Over all pretty nice/generic looking place that does the job. Definitely would make a good take out joint also.

When I was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant to meet up in Laguna beach, I came across this gem! It's a cozy, homey spot with a great atmosphere for dining. We ordered fried egg rolls, crispy wontons, a pork banh mi, a pork vermicelli bowl, pho (traditional soup), chicken curry, passionfruit mango limeade, and Thai iced tea. The food was absolutely delicious, I especially loved the appetizers! The server, who was the only one working that day, was like Wonder Woman! She was friendly, easy to talk to, and super nice. It was the perfect combination of good food, great service, and a lovely place to try.

The food is soooooo good. Ive recently discovered this place but I've been back twice in 2 weeks and I live 45 mins away but if I'm around the area i definitely will stop by!

YUM!!! we came here under my friends recommendation. She loves this place. And for good reason, it's very popular with the locals. It's so good. We had one of the rice wraps and the 420 green rice with chicken. So good. This is a cute little place on the corner off of PCH. They've got a large outdoor area a nice indoor area with lots of tables very dog friendly and you can find plenty of parking on the street either up the hill or on PCH.

Cute casual spot for Vietnamese food in Laguna Beach! It's fast casual, so you place your order at the counter and they'll bring your food to your table. The day we visited, the kitchen was slammed. They may have been down a person in the kitchen because everyone seemed to be waiting for their orders. Luckily, we were in no rush and the other customers didn't seem bothered either. After at least 30 minutes later, we got our food, and the dishes came flying out of the kitchen to the other tables that came after us, so I guess we just got unlucky with our timing. I got the grilled pork banh mi, which was good. It had a lot of pork. It was a little light on jalapeños and cilantro, which was fine by me because I prefer a light touch with those ingredients. The husband and wife that run Saigon Beach are very sweet. The husband apologized for the delay when he brought the food. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. They also have daily specials which sound delicious!

Now after a day for business out in sunny California. I figured I'd have a bite in Laguna Beach…read more.. This is a for sure spot to eat I while in Laguna. Easy parking. Great location and parking. Even close to the beach where after eating, you could take a walk. The service was fair. Smiles and quick. Delicious food. No complaints from this review. But if you're in a mood for a bite and a drink. Check out Starfish! Thank you Starfish! I had a pleasant experience....

The libation of choice: lychee martini. Though this last visit, I finally tried another at the rec of Alexis - enlightenment. It's very refreshing- now I've got two favs. The wontons are fire! I normally go for shrimp chive, but also tried the pork Saigon ones this last visit, pan fried. Also super delicious. Crab Philly sushi was quite yum, I had a few left over and ate on my drive home. The roll is big!! Alexis is phenomenal- I only wish I could be as natural and on point as she. Fantastic server... I mean, fantastic person really. A++ Two drinks, an app or sometimes two and my evening instantly livens up. Gd I wish I lived in Laguna. One day! This is a local must. Love what the owners do, all the responses are genuine, the staff are great, and the vibes/drinks/food will keep you coming back. Till next time starfish!

Whenever I generally complain about not knowing what to eat (sadly often), my friends and family…read moresay "what about that Chinese place" because everyone I've taken here has loved it. Some of my favorites have been every dumpling, egg rolls, the scallops, the filet mignon chow fun, and the pork fried rice. Meat is always tender. The young lady that served us was so attentive, kind, and patient. I think the sun comes out every time she smiles. Cute casual atmosphere. They are busy for a reason.

I made the mistake of trying this place again. Not sure what I was thinking but the service was…read moreactually much worse than the food. The Eggplant tasted like they had emptied an entire salt shaker into it and was inedible. Our server, for lack of a better word, Isabel, was extremely rude and inattentive the entire time. Isabel thought it would be a good idea to focus on the other tables while basically ignoring ours. The worst part was at the end of the meal after I had requested she take the charge off the bill for the horrible food. Isabel begrudgingly agreed to take it off with not as much as any type of apology. It then took her probably 10 minutes to return after gleefully chatting with other tables and walking by us maybe 4-5 times without making eye contact. Once Isabel produced her handheld POS terminal and asked me how I would be paying, I called her out on the lack of courtesy and basic manners. I asked her if she'd be apologizing for the lousy food and she literally said "No, it's not my fault." All the time she had this maniacal grin on her face that was not only out of place but a little on the psychotic side. Isabel kept glaring at me every time she walked by as if to say I don't owe you a thing and there's nothing you can do about it. After speaking with the manager (Shu) I understand how Isabel has this attitude. He was oblivious to the lack of decency and common sense displayed. He just kept repeating the fact that they had removed it from the bill without the least bit of remorse. All this time I was speaking with Shu, Isabel kept walking around with this crazed grin on her face to hear what we were discussing. I've honestly never experienced any server like her in my entire life. The best Shu could do was to tell me the next time I came in they'd seat me with another server. The next time? This speaks to the oblivious nature of the employees at China Moon. He actually thought that after that, I would be returning. Isabel was the weirdest server I've literally ever had in my life and it was clear at the end that Shu didn't have a clue about customer service or the dining experience. I would avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being treated like garbage by people that don't have any clue what service is.

I was looking for something quick but delicious, so I stopped into this restaurant in Aliso Viejo…read morenear the movie theater and I'm really glad I did. I was greeted by Mia, who welcomed me with a genuinely warm smile, which I truly appreciated, especially after a recent experience at another Chinese restaurant where the front staff was less than pleasant. I ordered the spring rolls and a bánh mì sandwich. The portions were generous, so I ended up taking some to go. Despite the restaurant being busy with lots of people dining in, the service was impressively fast. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and Mia stayed on top of my order, knowing I was ravenous. If you're looking for a quick bite next to the movie theater, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be back

It is not spicy but you can add chili oil &/or jalapeños to heat it up. Service is good but English comprehension is limited, but this doesn't change the quality or quantity of the food.

It was tasty but all fried things. We'll go back again to try the other numerous choices.
