    9.7/10 - My husband and I blacked out, we kept pointing to all the delicious variety of Chè and they kept bringing out more and then we were like "Oh we want that too!" We bought wayyy too much with our eyes hahaha! Everything was SOO GOOD, even the savory packaged dishes. I honestly can't tell you what was good (don't know the name), and there were a lot of Chè that I've never seen or had before that was so delicious. The aunty helping us was also so nice and spoke good English so we didn't have an issue with communication like I've seen with other reviews. SOO YUMMY!

    Cool local experience, I would have absolutely no clue how to order here if I didn't have someone who spoke vietnamese so I wish they had a menu with pictures to point at haha. Theres so many interesting cold holding containers of desserts. We got a honeycomb cake which was on the relatively thick side not too much pandan flavor. The che was pretty good w/ varirty of flavors.

    Let me start by saying it's cash only. There are no signs anywhere that says this, but it is. Luckily, I had cash in the car so it wasn't a problem. 2nd is make sure you know what you want before you get to the counter. Especially if you do not speak Viet. I had to look up most of the things that were there but ended up, loving the Che that I got. You can't really go wrong with any of the items, but it just depends on what you're looking for. They have hot desserts, iced desserts, and different rice pastries.

    It has been so long since I have visied this store. It was because I was craving for authentic Vietnamese desserts in Little Saigon. This spot is known for its huge variety of chè (sweet dessert soups) and traditional treats, all laid out in colorful displays that make it hard to pick just one. Pricing used to be very affordable but with inflation and after the pandemic, a lot of their items have increased in price and it is now , typically around $3-$5 each. The only negative I can say about this place is that no one speaks English and I had to ask other customes what each dessert was and how good it was. There wasn't any pricing here or menu item. Just point and pay at the end. So if this is your first time here, you have to be very patient OR do what I do and get a variety of desserts and then you will know what flavors you like. Interaction can feel rushed as a lot of customers doesn't want to wait for us English speakers so I just let them go ahead. I got their top menu items here are definitely the chè options, especially chè ba màu (three-color dessert), chè chuối (banana with coconut milk), and chè bắp (sweet corn dessert). If you are a fan of cocount milk then thiese are the ones for you to try! Parking can be a bit of a mixed experience. There is a shared plaza parking lot, but it can get crowded especially on weekends so you might need a little patience or park nearby if it's busy. Overall, this place is a great spot for semi-affordable, authentic Vietnamese desserts with tons of variety. It's not about the service or ambiance but it is all about the sweets, and they definitely deliver and was able to satisfy my for craving delicious .

    Cash only so make sure to bring cash! Plaza is very hectic and parking will be difficult however so worth it this is my favorite location of this franchise. I keep forgetting to write a review because I eat all the treats before I even get home and get a chance to take a picture but today I was determined. They have a large variety of sweet and savory treats I love them all. You can never go wrong with the corn or banana desserts my top favorites of the warm ches. Then for the savory items I love xoi khuc which are green sticky-rice dumpling balls filled with savory seasoned pork belly and creamy mung bean paste this location also puts 2 pieces of cha chien or fried pork roll on top and I love it it adds texture and more protein to the dish. My other favorite item to get here is Che 3 mau its bean heavy and on the sweeter side so perfect with the ice they serve it with and I've been eating this since childhood and love it. The banh cam duong is really good and delicious and fresh here. The Banh cay chien (deep fried cassava fritters) is super crispy but a little dry for my taste. Over all come here and try what your heart desires as it's all pretty good lots of hits!

    Was in the shopping center for lunch and saw this place. There was a long line out the door. I love Vietnamese desserts so of course I had to get me some to satisfy my sweet cravings. The place is small, but they have so many choices to choose. The only thing I didn't like is that there are no prices listed anywhere. Not sure if we are being rip off here. They also don't give you a receipt. Guess we just have to trust them? Not sure if they even accept credit card. Other than some of the negatives, their desserts are pretty good, hence, the long line. Would I come back? Maybe, if I'm happened to be shopping in this center.

    I am a fan of chè and a regular customer here. Today I bought chè chuối (banana ) wich is my favorite desert. After dinner I start eating it. It tastes great but then I start fell something not tasting right in my mouth so I pull it out and thought maybe it just a hair. I ate at many restaurants that have hair in their food but this hair almost make me throw up. It is thick, short and curly with only can come from under the arm or between the legs. I hope that I won't get any diseases or get sick from it, since there is a out break going on now. Btw, years ago I also got a small piece of sharp metal from their chè too.

    Whenever I'm in Westminster, Hien Khanh is my goto spot for che. Portions are good and for a pretty good price (3/7/2026 - $6 A cup) and of course the taste of the different che is spectacular. It's not your typical fancy sit down and eat kind of shop but rather a grab and go kind of place. Every time I've been, the shop is packed with people, especially the older Viet aunties and uncles, so you know the place is good. As for service, I genuinely adore the ladies who work here, they've always been so sweet and kind and overall provide good service so I really like picking up dessert from here when I'm in the area. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Shop Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

    This is the aftermath..

    Came here on my birthday for my noodle tradition. For long life. The beef rib was not soft enough a little bit tough. The service was ok. But for a location that is 24 hours . Need to work on the customer service skills.

    Solid spot for che and other Vietnamese snacks. I tried che 1 and it was not too sweet, which I prefer. There's another che spot in this plaza that makes their desserts way too sweet. There was a line with Viet aunties even on a weekday afternoon, so I knew this had to be the spot for desserts and that it'd be authentic. I want to try their other desserts that other people were purchasing next time I stop by.

    They have sooo many Asian desserts! They get busy but line goes fast! I got some things which were good! But one item went bad by the time I got home but I am on a road trip so maybe it needed refrigeration. They only accept cash is my issue! So bring cash with you! They also accept zelle but I don't have that so I was limited on how much I could spend. I really liked the rice dessert and pandan roll dessert I got! They are lightly sweet.

    Ngoc-Diep P.

    The Che 3 mau was too sweet We liked the com xôi with coconut The pandan bánh da lợn was slightly crunchy and not like the usual ones with real mung bean but it was good. A mix between jello texture and chewy. Service was excellent Quickly and small place to pick up and go, not a sit down Plenty of options to try again next time

    Judy N.

    Picked up so many things I didn't get a chance to take pics of everything. We got some Che' and some snacks. The banh bo was ok, didn't have much pandan flavor. The Che was really good, highly recommend.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious.

My Pho with Rare Steak had a flavorful broth, and the meat itself was tender. However, I felt there was a little too much ginger in the broth.

With a more balanced amount of ginger, it could be excellent. Also, the broth a bit sweet. One thing I really appreciated was that they served culantro with pho. That's definitely a plus for me, as not many pho restaurants offer culantro, and I think it adds a great touch to the dish. The staff was also friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, I enjoyed the pho and would definitely be interested in trying their other dishes next time.
