First time visiting on a Sunday for lunch. Nice casual place for an abundance of Vietnamese dishes. Food came out fairly soon. Everything looked really delicious and fresh. We enjoyed everything ordered especially the Bun Dau Mam Tom dish. I like to graze with my food so it's one of my favorites. The sauce is really delicious and stinky just the way it should be. Not too salty. The Mi Ga chiến (yellow noodles soup with fried chicken) was 10/10. Chicken thigh was fresh and crispy. Not dry like other places! The Mi Vịt (yellow noodles soup with duck with wontons) was even better. Great size portions in food. Service was also very good & attentive. Will be back soon!
This place deserves more attention and recognition ! Service was so good. The lady was so nice and kind. She checked in on us often enough to make sure things are okay. Flavor is good, clean presentation and portion is just right. I got a Mi Vit Tiem Kho and Mi Xao Don and loved both of them.
Saw this on Yelp and the menu looked interesting. Decided to give it a try. The restaurant was decorated simple and clean. The service was great. We ordered the following: Coconut sea snails Thai seafood noodles Bun dau mam Tom Pho with rare beef, tripe and beefball Coconut sea snails were delicious. My mom enjoyed her Thai seafood noodles. My daughter loved her custom pho with rare beef, tripe and beefball. The pho broth was tasty and had depths. I decided to be adventurous and ordered Bun dau mam Tom. I never had this before and wasn't sure how to eat it. It came with fish sauce, shrimp paste sauce and a bowl of sugar. The vermicelli came in cube shape which threw me off. I thought I had to wrap it with lettuce. I asked the owner and he said to mix it in a bowl. This dish included fried tofu, sliced pork, eggrolls, pork sausage, green sticky rice patties and herbs. I mixed in the ingredients in a bowl with fish sauce and it was good. The shrimp paste was too salty and I didn't use the sugar. I would be back to try other items.
ORDER banh canh tom cua (3/5) the presentation was good. the portions were huge and was well worth the price. the shrimp and pork were perfectly cooked. unfortunately, the broth had no flavor. i also tried the nui and bun dau mam tom. the nui lacked flavor as well. the sauce for the bun dau mam tom was too salty. SERVICE friendly service. AMBIANCE there's a front and back section to the restaurant. the hallway that leads to the back of the restaurant felt a bit cramped.
Had to comeback to try their take on Pho! The pho dac biet is indeed special as they present you with a decorative pot! Definitely appreciated the uniqueness to this serving. The broth is 5/5 Meat to noodle ratio 5/5 Herbs were fresh
Besides the interesting name, this place actually offers some good eats. I admit I had some apprehension when glancing through the menu (which doesn't have the best layout). Usually when a restaurant has many items on its menu chances are they don't have any special and some of them could be from the freezer. On our first visit we tried: Bún đậu mắm tôm: besides the usual fries tofu, chả cốm, and thịt luộc they gave me fried sausage and egg rolls. The egg rolls are especially tasty and the aroma got a boost from taro in the filling. Bánh mì chảo: I might have forgot why I shouldn't order this. The dish itself was ok but I always feel kind of sick from too much fat/oil on the plate. This is not anyway the restaurant's fault. They gave me the usual of beef cubes, pate,fried egg, sausage and chả lụa. Overall an ok dish. Bánh mì que: we tried all four flavors and the winner is trứng muối. The pork floss, chả cá and cheese were only ok. We like it enough to come back the next day to try different items. We didn't to try crawfish since we didn't like to get our hands dirty. I really want to sample the ốc móng tay and rau muốn but it was not available. We then tried: Ốc hương trứng muối: the snails doused in the salted egg sauce would be great with beer (they don't have alcohol license btw). The waiter suggested we should get the bread and he was right: the trứng muối made good dipping sauce ( I guess this is the same sauce they use in bánh mì que). Baked oysters: they were topped with scallions and peanuts. The first half dozen served were overcooked and dry but the next one were good with the dipping sauce. Bánh canh: this is the thick kind with crab and shrimps. I would like this if I haven't had better elsewhere. Bao tử hầm tiêu đen. They offer this both as noodles bowl and hot pot. I tried the bowl version and I throughly enjoyed it. The stomach bits were fatty and chewy and the broth got strong pepper fragrance. That combination was perfect for the al dente noodles. The servers and the owner were friendly. They even apologized for the long wait since this is first opening week. I was surprised when the owner informed me of the %20 discount. I will come back soon (the discount helps) to try other dishes on the menu.
Mì sủi cảo khô ở đây ngon, thơm và đậm đà gia vị. Nước soup cũng ngon nhưng nếu được nóng hơn một tý thì sẽ ngon hơn. My family absolutely loves the dry noodles here. The noodles were cooked to perfection--aromatic and bursting with flavor. The accompanying bowl of broth was delicious, though it would have been even better if it was served hotter. We weren't sure if it was a promotion, but every meal came with a complimentary small dessert. We enjoyed every bite of it The service here is fantastic. This small family-run business truly shines. Both husband and wife were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure their customers are cared for. My family will definitely return to support this gem of a place. If you haven't visited yet, I highly recommend making the effort to check it out!
Went here for the first time because I saw they had duck noodle soup and ALL the food is amazing! The grilled oyster with salted egg was fresh and were huge, escargot was also super fresh, and the soup was so hearty and delicious, the duck was perfectly tender as well. They have a ton of Viet street food options that I'll have to be back to try. Staff is super kind and accommodating and even gave us dessert, newer place so def check them out!
We came here for breakfast and everything on the menu sounded very promising and delicious. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was very subpar. We ordered: - Canh Bún - Mi Vit - Balut in Tamarind - Boiled Balut (not pictured) - Banh Mi Nuong - Mi ga kho (not pictured) The gentleman who took our order was very kind and accommodating, which we appreciated. However, I was disappointed when we were served raw balut. Upon pointing it out, instead of replacing it with a freshly cooked one, the staff reheated the same one, which ultimately looked quite unappetizing. The canh bún looked appealing, but the broth was bland, and the riêu (crab meat) was spongy, lacking the texture and flavor typically found in canh bún. A touch of tomato flavor would have made a big difference. The mì vịt was decent, though the duck was slightly dry. Lastly, the bánh mì nướng fell short of expectations. It was tough, could have been crispier and thinner, and was overly heavy on the mayo. We were offered free soft drinks in exchange for a 4 star review. In the end, I declined the gesture because I could not honestly give them 4 stars for the food or service. Overall, I was not impressed with Ta La Kitchen. Not sure if I would consider going back. They seem fairly new so I hope they consider improving the quality of food.
This is one of those restaurants where your belly is full and your heart is filled. For someone who's indecisive, it took me a while to decide as they do offer an extensive menu. The portion was generous and the food tastes like homemade which I love. They also offered these yummy jelly dessert after you're done eating. I ordered a coffee togo after and it was strong!! I'm still thinking about the generous size. You can definitely tell the owner cares about their customers and wants to make sure what you're paying is worth the price especially in this economy!!Will keep supporting this type of establishment where hospitality is prioritized.
I love supporting a local mom and pop this place did not disappoint! The food and service was amazing
Great service and enjoyable food. They have a ton of seafood dishes and their food was very tasty. It's a smaller place, but I highly recommend you try this place. Parking can be a challenge as it is in a busier shopping plaza, but there is always a space somewhere in the lot.
Had the roasted duck noodle soup with wontons. Soup was amazing really enjoyed the broth and noodles was very good. Staff was fast and very nice. Restaurant was clean. The Bahn mi were ok it was all about yhe noodle soup.

Saw a TikTok video on this place and took my family to go and support the restaurant, as it is a family owned place. Overall a decent place with many options for Vietnamese food, both big meal dishes and fun street food. Here what we tried: Ngheu Hap Thai (Thai Style Clams) - the clams were big and the broth is very flavorful! My mom really enjoyed it! Mi Vit Tiem (Duck Noodle Soup) - absolutely love the broth! So clean and herbal like! The noodle texture is interesting, as it is not your usual egg noodles. Not sure if I like it over the traditional egg noodles. Still a good dish! Banh Canh Tom Cua (Vietnamese Crab & Shrimp Udon) - there were so much crabs and shrimps in the bowl. The broth is good, just a little bland and needed to add some fish sauce. Mi Sui Cao (Wonton Dried Noodles) - love the wonton and the fried shrimp crunchy thing. The seasoning is really, but I don't think I like the noodles they used. Sup Cua (Vietnamese Crab Soup) - so much toppings in the soup! Love the century's egg! read more
This place offer a wide variety of dishes, and the portions are generously sized, The prices are reasonable. I ordered phở it's just ok , the soups were delicious but the beef hard to chew only $9.99 for a big bowl of phở. The wings chicken with rice also $9.99 for the promotion it's was delicious. I ordered Togo mi hoành thánh $11 was nothing special but honestly the portions were huge. Nice atmosphere and the place is clean Very friendly, attentive staff. Plenty of parking read more

The food is amazing, but I didn't take any pictures of any main dishes. I would recommend the Banh Canh Tom Cua and Banh Canh Phong Tom. If you looking for late night snacks the Cajun fries and fried chicken are really good quality. Highly recommend. The place is small but cozy. read more

Owner is hard working, offered different choices respectfully (has a cute kid helping to give out menus to customers). Respect to the wife in the back kitchen cooking the food There is options to sit in the front (view of street) or back of the restaurant. Parking is plentiful. Diverse choice of Vietnamese food to try (and some modern Western food). They ran out of the Mi Viet Quay Hoanh Thanh (Roasted Duck Noodle Soup with Wonton) so ordered Mi Sui Cao (Dumplings Noodle ~good but slightly salty), Pho Dac Biet (Pho house combination) and Appetizer: Sup Cua Bong Bong Ca Va So Diep (Fish Maw, Crab and Scallop Soup ~little salty but not bad).. overall great as food to go choices. Will come back again with family and friends to sit in to try their Best Seller Bun Dau Mam Tom and other food options read more

We had the best experience on our girl's lunch today. Drove all the way to Westminster for this Vietnamese lunch and it did NOT disappoint. I ordered one of their bestsellers-- the rice paper roll. It was a huge platter of pork belly, tofu, rice noodle, assorted veggies with the most flavorful dip/dressing. From the unique presentation, to the flavors, to the plentiful serving, to the very affordable price, to the super attentive and friendly staff, it truly made for a 5 experience. We will definitely be back to try their other items. The pho was ok, nothing that makes it stand out among other pho places. The duck noodle soup was very flavorful and filling. Both had prices that were unbeatable. This place is a must try. I wish it was closer to home. It was almost an hour away drive from Diamond Bar in rush hour traffic. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a good bowl of banh canh tom cua and this restaurant definitely delivered. It was thick, came out piping hot and I loved all the extra toppings such as quail eggs, shrimp, and slices of fried fish paste. My husband really enjoyed his water spinach with tofu, crab meat and baby octopus as well. Grilled oysters with green onion oil and peanuts were also delicious with their unique dipping sauce. Service was fast and attentive. We will definitely come back! read more

When you walk in, it looks pretty tight. I believe there's more tables in the back since we kept seeing people from the back walking to the restroom. The owner is very nice and service wasn't the greatest since it just opened. I know they're trying. Overall, I thought the food was okay. I'm not sure if I would come back but maybe I'll give them another try later on in the future and try other dishes. I'm not sure what was missing but it just wasn't for me. We ordered the Skillet Filet Mignon-Banh Mi Chao, Rice vermicelli served with fried tofu, sliced pork, egg rolls, pork sausage, green sticky rice patties, special fermented shrimp paste sauce along with fresh herbs (Bun Dau Mam Tom), and banh mi que cha bong and banh mi que cha ca which are the mini French bread with fish patties and shredded dried pork. I thought the best dish would be the Bun Dau Mam Tom since they had many options compared to other places I've been to in OC. Also, if you ordered this dish make sure to order a side of rice paper so you can roll them. read more

The place for a yummy crawfish & clam seafood eatery is Ta La Kitchen. My place to go now and then when I have craved this excellent & yummy food. A place that is not to be missed. My son also loves it! The owners which are both husband and wife are generous people who I witness often help served food and at time provide blankets to the unfortunate. Services here are excellent. A lot of young kids work hard trying to make a living. read more

Hi . What is the maximum capacity at your restaurant?
Where is it located? We called 10x and no one pick up the calls. We Google map and when we arrived we don't see it ? Did we missed something?
I can see it from Bolsa Ave. it's in the building closest to Bushard St and Bolsa Ave. next door to POSE Salon. It looks like main entrance is in the back where the parking spaces are. I'll post a photo of the front entrance.
