    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I love this place, it's the OG spot to get Vietnamese desserts. There's never any prices posted so I feel like I'm at one of those food trucks with no prices on the truck and they give me a price based on how they feel that day... lol. We need some posted prices LOL. A lot of things are questionable here (sanitary wise) but it hits the spot. The line is very disorganized. Man I used to like the 3 colored dresser but for almost $7 something, I'll pass until the cravings really hit. I probably won't come back if I don't have to.

    My favorite Vietnamese Che (dessert) chain in Little Saigon. It's always hard to choose what to get here as everything is on my favorite list. The cow cakes and pandan cakes are usually my go to items along with the various types of banana desserts smothered in coconut cream. I'm kinda drooling writing this review. Easy parking on a weekday. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This seems to be a classic Vietnamese dessert shop and I was lured by the lines... almost everything in there was sweet, including the rice. Not sure I'd go back but it was an interesting experience.

    This is the OG spot for Vietnamese desserts. Every time I visit Cali, this is a must-stop for my sweet tooth. The flavors are nostalgic, perfectly balanced, and always hit the spot. All the aunties here work so hard, and you can really taste the love and care they put into every chè and thạch. There are so many options to choose from, so good luck!

    1st time visiting this store. Been to another location which I thought had better pricing and bigger portion. The Che here in large was $6.50 and it came in a tiny cup with mostly ice. Thought I got ripped off but I think their small is even smaller. While it was pretty good, still not worth it. Go to the other location instead.

    This place is as authentic as it can get if you want real Vietnamese desserts. There's nothing pretty or fancy about this place. The desserts are in large trays and you just point to whatever you want and they scoop it in to-go containers. It's cash only and there are no tables or chairs. Even if they had tables and chairs, you would not want to sit there. The place is ugly and could use a fresh coat of paint and decor. They are always crazy packed, so they're doing something right!

    My friend said we needed to make a stop here on our drive past. It did not disappoint. I haven't had a lot of Vietnamese desserts, but I felt like a kid in a candy store. I like to try new foods and flavors and there was so much to choose from. There was a line out the door and it is cash only. The staff worked quickly to move people through. Other staff was refilling items from the kitchen in the back. I bought a tapioca drink (#3), Sponge cake, and sweet rice. I also couldn't pass up the coconut cream with tapioca and plantains (my favorite!), and colorful sponge balls (maybe sour dough?). I'm sorry I don't remember the Vietnamese names, I just pointed and they loaded up my bag.

    Assorted beans dessert. Served either coconut milk.

The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good.

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.

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 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.
