    Newly decorated restaurant, pretty spacious. Service was fast. I like soursop tea less sweet, very refreshing. The noodles are hot till the end and tasty.

    Hủ tiếu Mực sữa. Delicious
    Nathalie Q.

    Love this place--this was my second visit (my first was with my mom). The bún mắm waa the star of the menu, and the hủ tiếu mực sữa is AMAZING, especially when dipped in the sauce. At just $15 a bowl, it was incredibly filling and kept me full for hours. Great value, great flavor. I'll definitely be back.

    I ordered bún mắm, bún đậu mắm tôm, and canh bún. All the dishes were tasty, but a bit salty for my preference, so I had to add quite a lot of lime. The shrimp and fish in the bún mắm were very fresh. The roast pork was good, though slightly salty as well. I especially liked the bún đậu mắm tôm because the pressed vermicelli was very similar to what you'd find in Vietnam. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and feels airy and comfortable. Parking is a bit limited, so it may be slightly difficult to find a spot. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5

    Hot pot
    Tony T.

    So we came here a few years ago. When we were on vacation in LA and it's been a while and we just came back to LA for vacation, and we just had to come back to try to hot pot again. Here it was so good. The last time that I could remember. The soup broth was really good. Lots of flavor nice and rich. We had a lot of nice fresh vegetables along with some fresh shrimp and catfish. Some roasted pork. Lots of room and available seating herez very spacious. . Excellent, service from server, attentive, and they forgot to let us know about the buy 2 drinks get 1 free and let us know when we paid, apologizd and we got the free drink after. We appreciated that.

    Mì Quảng Miền Trung
    Lauren D.

    Who on Earth thought it would be a good idea to open a second location?? The menu and restaurant itself seemed very promising, considering the options looked good, but the execution did not meet our expectations. The food was very bland and lacked flavor for nearly every dish. I'm hoping that it was just that one day that we came where the food was a bit off, and the other days are better. My dad is the one person in our family that we can always count on to eat our leftovers, but the food was so flavorless that he couldn't even finish it himself. * Mì Quảng Miền Trung: 6/10 - could barely taste the broth * Bún Bò Đặc Biệt: 6/10 - extremely bland for a dish that's known for its intense flavors * Canh Bún Đặc Biệt: 4/10 - broth tasted like water The interior was nice and rather spacious, but the booths were kind of sticky. There were also a lot of flies flying around our table, which were quite annoying. Another downside to the location is the parking. It's located on the edge of the Garden Grove Plaza, so it's easy to spot, but parking could get difficult at peak times. We hope others have a better experience, but we're definitely not coming back.

    Mì Trộn Muối Ớt

    I really want to give this place a chance. So I decided to pay a 2nd visit, since the menu offered some interesting dishes that are not the typical Viet noodles that you often see at the restaurants around here. This time, I ordered something that I've never heard of, Mì Trộn Muối Ớt (ramen type noodles mixed with salt and red chilli peppers). The dish is seems to be born from some home kitchen and basically whatever you find, just tossed them together with your instant ramen... The instant ramen is served dry with a bowl of broth on the side. The ramen is mixed with scallions and crispy pork rinds. The broth is a mashed up of sliced beef, shrimp, a poached egg, beef meatball, and a slice of chả cá. The broth also had scallions as well. And on the side is a dipping dish of crystallized salt and chilli peppers, and a slice of lime. As far as the taste goes, it is not bad, but also nothing out of this world. The broth had this murky floaty strands of something, which I cannot make out, and assume it's from the poached egg. However, it makes the dish somewhat unappetizing :-( Overall, it seems like this dish was born out of boredom and mix bag of whatever is left in the fridge... I will give this dish a low-mid rating... Sorry, I tried, and I think this place is not it for me...

    Good food the mi quang was good and and the banh canh too. Their cha had good flavor and texture, slightly spicy. Their sauces were also interesting, one had pepper and lemon grass. Everything tasted decent, but the service is non existent and there are a lot of flies. And the tables are slightly sticky.

    I stopped by to support this new spot. I ordered the bún mắm, one of my favorite dishes, but the flavor was a bit bland , missing that lemongrass aroma, and the soup was served lukewarm instead of hot. My friend got the bánh canh đèn dầu it was okay, but the bowl looked big mostly because it was full of broth, not much inside. The place is clean since it's new, but the staff didn't seem very attentive. I asked for a small bowl for fish sauce and had to wait quite a while. Overall, food and service were just okay , not really worth waiting for. Hopefully, the restaurant can improve, since I'm one of the first people to leave a review.

    Bun Bo Hue
    Michelle H.

    Such a good first time try! My friends wanted Bun Mam so we tried to go to the other location...but it was closed for some reason so we came to this one! There was some confusion at first because their menu was so small so we had to ask if they had Bun Bo Hue(they did!!) the broth for the Bun Mam and Bun Bo was so yummy! My friends and I were impressed! It was crowded, so we were waiting for a bit after ordering. Parking lot is a bit small too, so be mindful. Honestly such a good spot!

    Bun mam

    This place is known for their bun mam and it was good. Can't say it was the best bum mam I've ever had but it's good. Toppings were fresh and variety. Also got the bun dau mam tom, the mam tom was on the sweeter side catering to southerners tongue. But toppings were good and the noodles were pressed to cubes which is the authentic way for this dish. They also had other Vietnamese noodle dishes all in one spot. Parking is a pain in the butt to this plaza fyi.

    Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo. It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.

The standout for me was the flaming wagyu ($18), torched tableside. For how thick the cut was, it was incredibly tender and soft. Definitely go medium rare. The ponzu dipping sauce really enhances the richness of the beef. We also tried the shaken beef ($21), which came with plenty of caramelized onions and bell peppers that added a subtle sweetness. The beef was slightly charred, bite-sized, and super satisfying--especially with rice. The combo pho ($25) came loaded with a variety of meats, all tender and melt-in-your-mouth. The broth had a deep, beefy richness, and the noodles were perfectly soft. Add in the garnishes for some crunch and it really ties everything together.
