    Mi Vit Tiem
    Aurelia T.

    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.

    Bun Dau Mam Tom
    Kelly N.

    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.

    banh canh tom cua
    Lynn L.

    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.

    Roast Duck Noodle Soup with Wontons

    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

    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!

    Grilled oyster with salted egg yolk
    Jennie P.

    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!

    Jenny B.

    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.

    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.

    Cajun fries

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small but cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    Hue Ky Mi Gia - Food and Service Appear to Be Declining…read more My wife and I decided to try Hue Ky Mi Gia. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and the parking lot is shared with several other businesses, so finding a parking space can be difficult. Location and Parking -- 2/5 The location is convenient, but parking can be challenging because many businesses share the same parking lot. Atmosphere and Comfort -- 2/5 The air-conditioning was weak, and the front door remained open, so the restaurant felt warmer than expected. Service -- 3/5 The service was only okay. The waiters were not especially friendly or welcoming. Food -- 2/5 I ordered the mì vịt tiềm. As everyone can see from my picture, my bowl came with only one small piece of bok choy. In comparison, pictures posted by other customers show the same dish served with several pieces of fresh vegetables. The noodles were okay but much too oily. The broth served on the side was not hot enough, and the duck was dry and tough instead of tender. The pickled vegetables were also too sour. Restaurants can change over time. Based on the difference between my meal and the meals shown in other customers' pictures, the portions and food quality appear to be inconsistent and declining. Cleanliness -- 2/5 The dining area was acceptable, but the restroom needed more attention and cleaning. Overall -- 2/5 Stars Overall, our experience was below average. Hue Ky Mi Gia may be worth trying once if you want something different, but the food, service, comfort, and cleanliness all need improvement.

Would recommend adding in lime and fish sauce provided at each table. My partner got the bún thịt nướng chả giò but thought they skimped on the egg rolls and grilled pork (they used the same meat from the bún chả, which I didn't like).

However, I'd encourage anyone who hasn't had the dish before to try it if you're a fan of a thick starchy broth and wonderfully chewy udon noodles. There are different meat options to go along with the soup - crab, pork, etc., or any combination of. There's also a "light" broth option which is less thick but equally delicious. Aside from the soup, the egg rolls here are deliciously crisp and crunchy as they're made with rice paper instead of the standard egg roll wrapper. The restaurant is a great example of a hole-in-the-wall that's 100% worth trying. Expect to wait 20-30mins to be seated during normal dining hours due to the low room capacity and popularity of the restaurant (the food comes out really fast though!).

These days you can't really get a good bowl of noodle soup for under $18-$20. Here you can get a solid bowl for just $8 during happy hour! Whaaat?! Crazy! That is such a great price that I almost feel like I'm robbing them. LOL. During this recent visit, I wasn't too hungry so I just got a small bowl of wonton soup for just $7. It comes with 5 pieces of wontons. The only disappointing thing was that it doesn't come with one of my favorite toppings - tóc mỡ. It would've cost $2 to add it. I really wish they did include it. I also got some grilled pork skewers. Though a little soft, they were pretty delicious - nicely seasoned, flavorful, and make a great appetizer. I also love that they're open late - till 11PM!
