Cơm bò lúc lắc
Vivian C.

This is one of the oldest Vietnamese restaurants in the Bolsa area. I've been coming here for over 20 years, ever since I first moved to Orange County and finally I writing a review, because I truly want to support this place and hope they continue to maintain their quality and reasonable prices. One of my favorite dishes here is the canh chua (Vietnamese sweet & sour soup) and cá kho tộ (caramelized braised fish in clay pot) . it's perfectly seasoned for those who enjoy authentic Southern Vietnamese flavors, like I do. Other dishes are decent and consistently well prepared. The restaurant may be old, but it's kept quite clean and is located right in the heart of Little Saigon, so it's easy to find. Service is friendly and relaxed, and there are plenty of parking spots nearby !

Love coming here, I've been coming here for the longest time and the food never disappoints. Fast, easy and great service. Restaurant is clean and has plenty of parking. If you're looking for home cook style Vietnamese cuisine this is the place. I ordered the macaroni with shaken beef and it did not disappoint. Beef was tendered in the sauce was delicious. Very well put together. Macaroni was also delightful. Perfect combination. They have the best eggrolls here. Highly recommend it if you're in the mood and in the area.

Com phung is what this place is known for. They serve your traditional Vietnamese meals with catfish, soups and braised meats. We happens to get all fish. Good stuff and the place wasn't too crowded. Prices are reasonable and the place is clean and bright. Plenty of seating and located in a large center. I'd come heck to try other things

Stirfry beef with vegetables
Paul I.

This restaurant was pretty good. Had the three course meal for two people. I love the fish soup and the caramelized fish. It's one of my favorite restaurants.

F8. Bun Cha Gio Bo Nuong
Lu T.

Good family style restaurant if you are looking for other things than pho. They have a wide selection of food that is good across the board. You can even mix and match family style with personal orders. We had family style for 3 (plenty for 4 people) plus 2 bowls of individualized shrimp/grilled beef bun and egg roll/grilled beef bun. Both bun were solid. As for family style, we got caramelized catfish, stir fried green beans and beef, hot and sour shrimp soup, and stir fried Chinese spinach with garlic. All were fantastic and served with plenty of rice. I haven't been here in years but if I need Vietnamese home cooking, I'm heading here.

Mi Kho (5/5)
Kenny N.

Mind blowing. The best Mi Kho I've had. The noodles are perfect and there's so much variety of meat in this dish. And there's soup that came with it was a full circle delight. This was a HH special too so it was like $10 for this! Wife ordered the Bo Luc Lac and that was a 5+/5 as well.

Gỏi dừa tôm thịt
Anh C.

The restaurant was clean and the wait staffs were nice. We were sat immediately and the owner took our orders. We got the family combination which consisted of canh chua (sour soup) clay pot catfish, garlic sauté ongjoy rau muống xào tỏi. Gỏi dừa tôm thịt. Canh chua cá 9/10. Flavorful with 2 slice of catfish. Cá kho tộ 8/10. The flavor was good but lacking some pork belly, and lemon grass. Rau muống xào tỏi 8/10 Gỏi dừa tôm thịt 8/10. The owner was very nice and friendly. She chat with my mom which left a good impression on her. We will come back for many other items on the menu.

Goi bo tai chanh. Best item here. Dip it in their mam sauce (brown).
Dennis L.

This place is still so so so delicious. If you plan on ordering 5-6 dishes, I'd recommend doing the family meal (com Phan) because it is a little cheaper. Service is great. I love fermented fish sauce (mam nem) so I always ask for this. It's my favorite. Plenty of seats. Parking is usually plentiful also. People come here and eat quite often as well. I ordered Canh chua. Ca kho To. Tom rang. Bo tai chanh. Goi sua Tom thit. All items 5/5 hands down. So so so delicious and such a good meal. I've loved this place since my college days and still love it today. They are opened pretty late at night in case you have the late night cravings. I'll be back per usual. If you're looking for family style viet food, come here!

Braised Catfish (Ca Kho To)
Cindy H.

Very extensive menu ranging from Vietnamese noodle soups, broken rice, hot pot, home-style cooking (com phan), & so much more. Appreciate that they have pictures depicting some of their items since the menu can be overwhelming. I got the home-styled meal set for two $37.95 (rice not included, $1.50 / person). You get to choose a soup, savory dish, and salad. Braised Cat Fish (Ca Kho To) 4/5: tender pieces of catfish filets braised in a sweet and savory caramel fish sauce. Could use a bit more caramelization since the sauce was still a light amber color (not dark enough); increasing the cooking time would've reduced the sweetness. The flavor also hasn't fully penetrated the fish. Besides that, I still really enjoyed this dish. Tamarind Fish Soup (Canh Chua Ca) 4/5: a harmony of sweet, sour, and umami flavors from the fresh pineapple, tomatoes, tamarind, and stock. Comes with celery, beansprouts, elephant ear stalks, and a generous portion of catfish. Unfortunately comes in a bowl and not in a pot, so your soup doesn't stay hot throughout the meal. Beef Salad (3/5): sauteed beef and onions over a bed of salad. Flavor was good but beef was a little dry. Meal comes with complimentary Vietnamese dessert (che). Service is straight to the point, with food coming out quickly. Ambiance is more on the casual side. The restaurant has been around for at least 45 years with plenty of locals dining here!

R10. Garlic stir-fry Ong Choy -- Rau Muống Xào Tỏi ($14.95)
Alma H.

Vietnamese family-owned restaurant with comfort meals. Service was fast and efficient, servers were attentive. Ordered the top best selling dishes: * Q1. Ca Kho To -- Braised Catfish ($15.95) * P1. Canh Chua Ca -- Tamarind sweet and sour catfish soup ($19.95) * R10. Garlic Stir-fry ong choy - Rau Muống Xào Tỏi ($14.95) * C3. Grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf -- Bo Nuong La Lot ($18.95) * White rice with free refills for $3/pail

Bun bo Hue
Brecken H.

Really great atmosphere, really great food. I went here because I wanted to try Bun bo Hue after a friend recommended it to me, and I found Thanh My after some googling. They have everything, and it is all very good. The owner was incredibly friendly and generous, the service was perfect. We will definitely be back, this was a great experience!

Com Tam Bi Cha Heo Nuong
Casey Q.

If you are craving Vietnamese food, but aren't sure what to get, this is the spot for you. This restaurant offers almost any Vietnamese food you want, but I would say the items aren't out of this world. I think this restaurant focuses more on availability and variety rather than quality and flavor. Com Tam Bi Cha Heo Nuong: Pretty average plate of com tam. The rice was and bi were good, but the meat was a bit dry and the cha was dry as well.

Family Meal Options
Vince P.

Thanh My Restaurant has officially been open for 45 years now! This spot is truly one of the pioneers of Vietnamese cuisine in the Little Saigon area. It is so important to know the history of this wonderful enclave we all love and to pay respects to the OG businesses that paved the way. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have about 5-7 tables for seating. They have an extensive menu here where you can order individual dishes or family style ones. I came here with family for lunch so we got the 7 courses for 8 people for $136. We ended up getting the Canh Chua Ca (sour soup with fish), Ca Kho To (claypot braised catfish), Ca Chim Chien (fried pompano fish), Ngheu Xao Dau Hao (fresh sautéed clams), Tom Muc Bo Xao Thap Cam (stir fried veggies with squid, shrimp, and beef), Tom Ram Man (caramalized shrimp in fish sauce), and Bo Luc Lac (shaken beef). Overall, everything we had was delicious and as authentic as a Vietnamese family style spread comes! All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. Come stop by and continue to show them love and appreciation!

The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. 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.

Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home. The nem nuong here are always perfectly rolled and the crunch of the fried wonton strip inside makes it feels like party in your mouth! so good! Note: requesting to cut rolls in half costs extra. We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. 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. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. 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 standout for me was the flaming wagyu ($18), torched tableside. For how thick the cut was, it was incredibly tender and soft. Definitely go medium rare. 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. The broth had a deep, beefy richness, and the noodles were perfectly soft. Add in the garnishes for some crunch and it really ties everything together. Overall, a solid spot with quality ingredients and flavorful dishes. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
