The name had been around since little Saigon started but this one was added about 2 decades ago, mainly for to go or quick fast food place. Now it's more of seniors hangout for games or lottery with cheap decent coffee and they have outdoor patio overlooking GG street. You can heard the seniors loud conversation or being excited due to game of chess or checkers when you drove by (stopped for red light). The parking can be a hassle since it in a popular stores complex but they do have side parking so it can be okey. There are 2 bus stops on each side of street so most took the bus or walking from their place. Service is okey, not the nicest nor the worst but just what can I get you and okey next! This place is also well known for lottery since they won alot of small or medium prices both for scratcher & lottery. Plenty of decent foods, not great but not the worth, and okey prices. Got the sandwich and the bread is good, crunchy and soft inside...meats are okey. Big portion and very filling. Coffee is okey too. If you want something quick and easy going, this could be the place.

I heard a lot about their sandwiches and many people come and stay in line for that. However, I always come here for their green sponge cake. It's not too sweet and it is airy and have coconutty flavor, which I enjoy them so much. They also have grab and go papaya salad, buns, spring rolls, sausages, snacks, drinks, etc., which someday I would like try. The owners are very friendly and they try to assist you with your needs even though they don't speak perfect English. The restaurant is quite spacious and there are outdoor seats as well. From the counter top to the floor, everything is spotless, which is another reason I like about this place.

Vegetarian banh mi, add egg and mayo!

One of the best vegetarian banh mi sandwiches I've ever had - and for a good price too! They used a wheat gluten meat substitute, I asked for them to add egg and mayo. The bread was crispy crunchy on the outside and soft inside - perfect - even at 4pm! I wish I had taken a picture before I squished it but I promise it was incredible.

she coughed INTO our sandwiches like this..
Adria L.

Wanted to grab a quick bite with my bf so we both ordered banh mi. The woman at the cash register seemed to be the only person working. She was kind but seemed to rush a lot. People just came up handed her money and waited while she would make the sandwiches, handle the $$, then immediately go back to the sandwiches. No hand washing in between or anything. To top it all off, we literally watched her cough into our sandwiches while preparing them with her tongue curled out and everything. She kept coughing the whole time as she was preparing our food and didn't even try to politely cover it. We decided to throw our food away. I'm not trying to get sick. We're both horrified. Stay clear of this place.

Excellent milk coffee: 10/10. Will go back for just this ASAP. TRIED THE #3 (pork) and the #9 (veggie). Both were nicely spicy with chopped jalapeños. The veggie option was delicious with some kind of well- flavored, juicy meat substitute. Skip the milk tea. Boba is hard and the tea is too creamy (I didn't think this was possible before). The best part is the lively, peaceful, playful open-air patio atmosphere. The traffic is not as noisy as you would expect. It is actually a lovely place to sip milk ice coffee any time of day. There are plenty of umbrellas for shade.

What can I say...I've been thinking about this sammy joint ever since first bite. I've been visiting in SoCal for a week and had these bad boys a few times and thinking about grabbing some for the plane ride home. Lol. It's the best of both worlds. Enough filling w ratio of bread. You can finish the Sammy satisfied w all the meat and fixings...not so much that you derailed any fitness plan. The portions are good and price is right. I'm a fan. I'll be back for surrre :)

Fresh baked bread and Vietnamese coffee ready to get some ice and wake you up!

Song Long Bakery and Cafe, just next to the Starbucks, struck a chord with me. This unassuming establishment in the Dalat Market plaza has a charm all its own. The older Vietnamese men smoking cigarettes outside at 8am and playing games and chatting it up reminded me of being almost anywhere in Vietnam early in the morning while the streets are still cool, the roosters are crowing, and the buzz of the cities is just revving up. Inside Song Long you can smell the fresh bread baking and see the quick-moving line of people grabbing lunch or breakfast before they speed off to greet the day. On the counter they have spring rolls -both pork and shrimp- which are loaded with fresh veggies and herbs like Vietnamese basil and mint as well as several sticky rice offerings which are usually topped with some type of shredded meat (I am addicted to sticky rice). The vermicelli boxes are packed and look delish but I have not tried them yet. To the right of the counter they have the savory pies which are either chicken or pork and always quite good (another food that clearly has French roots but has been perfected by the Vietnamese). Above and behind the counter is the banh mi menu complete with descriptions and numbers to make ordering a piece of cake if you're worried about your pronunciation. Before you close your order out I would highly recommend you get at least a couple dollars worth of their sesame balls. And an iced coffee! **each time I've been here someone is eating a large bowl of bun boe hue which looks and smells amazing. Have yet to try.

That is all I got for $5, small bowl of porridge and 2 pieces of pork blood

To be honest, I find a lot of coffee shops to taste the same and repeat a lot of the same drinks. However, Phin Smith has its own signature through-line that makes it unique. I like that all the drinks have a sort of coconut or pandan very Vietnamese and tropical undertone. I have enjoyed all of the offerings here, both coffee and matcha, but especially the Oahu Joe. I can just feel like the whole team puts in so much effort into curating the menu, writing recipes, brewing the coffee, preparing the drinks. The staff are pretty professional and helpful. I really like the location and the space. It is located in historic downtown Garden Grove which has a unique charm that is distinctive or from the rest of city. It is very spacious and a good place to get some work done, study, chat, or just relax. The interior design is Spanish-inspired and rustic which is not the most common or popular coffee shop design style so I really like how distinctive and special it is. I will be coming back to Phin Smith for years to come and I genuinely recommend coming here.

They did offer to "add more" (I'm guessing syrup?) upon request, which was kind of them, but I didn't know how much the flavor and sweetness would change, so I didn't bother. It was also on the milkier side for a latte, but it was still a decent iced coffee. The gentleman at the front was polite and accommodating, while the female barista made drinks quickly and accurately. The shop doors were open, which felt very welcoming and accessible. Inside has a few tables, and they have food as well. A handful of parking spots pepper the perimeter of the store, which is also right by the gas station there. Maybe I'll ask for an extra shot in my future drink. I definitely wanna try some others from their extensive latte menu, like the Churro or Cinnamon Blast.

This cafe has a number of different tea options you would find from Korean tea variations to lattes and fruit teas. But I come here primarily for the ceremonial matcha tea! The matcha tea also has a lot of different toppings and cream tops. But I go just for the matcha lattes. There are 3 different matcha types to choose from with a clear explanation at the cashier in terms of the differences and pricing as well. I've tried all 3 and while I appreciate the premium kyushu flavor, I think the cheapest one Harumi is my favorite and the most balanced. I get it with oat / almond milk (both I think work well) and no sweetener. And I do think it's one of my favorite matchas in the OC area. The milk doesn't overpower the matcha. And each drink even comes with an explanation about the matcha you are drinking as a nice little bonus. Pricing also is competitive with the other local shops The staff is also super friendly and kind. They easily explain all the options and customizations and do remind you about the stamp cards (get 10 drinks and get the 11th free). The cafe itself is good as well. There are tables for both groups of 2 and 4 with good air conditioning. Some people noted there might be a soapy smell in the cafe which I've smelled a few times as well. But it usually is right as you enter the cafe and less so further in the cafe. Parking at Mirakuru is pretty plentiful but do expect tight parking in certain areas like near the El Super area. I prefer parking on the opposite corner instead for better parking. Overall, a welcome Matcha shop surprise and something I make the drive for!

The coffee house is in a larger plaza with lots of breakfast spots, so its PACKED. But, it makes sense because this place is so popular. Going in, I had no idea what to expect, but this place exceeded any expectations I could've had. The line area was organized and separated from the seating area, the line moved very fast, and the workers were so friendly! They had a large variety of drink and food options, but I ended up getting a hot Spanish latte and a banana muffin. They give you buzzers here which make the waiting process a whole lot less stressful. My drink and food came out quick, but while I was waiting I noticed that thing place has a variety of seating, from couch chairs, to group tables, to low seating outdoors. Everything feels nice and organized and there's so much attention to detail. Keep in mind it is very noisy here from how many people just sit down to hang out, and there's also a bar, which I think they serve matcha at? Now for my food, I got my banana muffin warmed. It's soft, fluffy, packs a lot of banana flavor, and most of all, I could tell it was baked fresh! This isn't one of those cafes that serves mediocre pastries, but will give you a hearty baked good to compliment your drink! My Spanish latte was perfectly hot, with the right touch of milk and spices. Surprisingly, it had a good amount of espresso, but not too much to be overpowering. Overall, my experience here was amazing and I would love to come back to try more of their baked goods! I alsoo really liked their lids, which come with a flippable stopper to keep your drink hot.

First impression was, I don't ever remember the place having such a strong odor of smoking permeating the air. If you have to go home to a significant other after visiting, you are likely to have strong smoke odor about you... that may or may not make a difference in your plans. Second, on a random Tuesday afternoon at 1 pm it was pretty busy, maybe 75-80% capacity? Only a few tables were available. I got lucky and got a table with good AC blowing on it next to the aisle where the girls walk back to the kitchen to fulfill customer's orders. Nice view as the girls continuously walked by. Four girls were working, some Asian & Latina girls and 1 curly-haired girl who was either mixed race(?) or Latina(?)... doesn't matter as she was gorgeous, with a very pretty face. Customer crowd was approx. 90% Asian and the rest Latino... I was "the white guy." That doesn't really bother or make a difference to me, except I felt invisible/ignored by the girls who were chatting and talking with all the other customers and walking right by me without even glancing in my direction (including girls I tipped when they refilled my tea)... I read another review on here that said the girls ignore everyone but the regulars, which may be true, but I have noticed this same pattern at other Vietnamese coffee shops as well... I was a regular before the pandemic here and still seemed to be ignored backthen as well. Not sure what to say except I always make certain to tip well, so it ain't that... Anyways, as others have noted, girls are quite attractive overall. Coffee is decent. Prices are pretty standard fare for an establishment of this type ( I would have given 5 stars if girls were more social/talkative with me. Even so, I will go back and try again.
