Great BBH. The broth only comes non spicy and you add your own spice at the table. The broth has a very beefy, savory flavor with a hint of sweetness. The meat was the most tender I've ever had in any BBH and the cha lua and meatball were also very tender and flavorful. Pork blood was just like any other and I'm not a huge fan of pork hock so only tried a small piece. It didn't turn me into a fan. The chili sate sauce is good but I've had better. The one thing that really set them aside from others is that the server asked if we wanted the veggies raw or steamed. We got it steamed but I think I prefer it raw. Although steamed won't cool down your soup like the raw.
Best is always subjective, but I can tell you that this place makes a very solid Bun Bo Hue. The broth is very tasty, the noodles are cooked just right, and a sliced beef was not too tough. The side of vegetables that came with it which were pre-cooked enhance the overall dish.. I did not get the blood cake, everything else was really good. Service was excellent. The staff was very attentive. I will be back to try other dishes.
Got the "large" Bun Bo Hue. Didn't feel like there was much difference from the regular bowl besides the amount of broth. Not sure if it was because we were near the door or a combination of that and the bowls were metal but our food got cold really fast as opposed to the usual ceramic or plastic bowls. Flavor for me was 3.8/5. It was hard to spice it up even with their chili oil - which didn't have much kick. Maybe expectations are different in this economy in Little Saigon area but felt like we really didn't get any banana flower shavings like most places for BBH. The Cafe Sua Da tasted like it was just hazelnut creamer and no condensed milk was used. Would return for, but probably just get a regular sized bowl since there wasn't much difference. Hard to find BBH in Little Saigon since Cong Ly closed down. RIP.
Best BBH restaurant in my opinion. Easy parking + okay service + simple interior + no frills. I got the Nam ($15) and boyfriend got the Hue ($15). We both enjoyed our dishes.
I regret going there. I should have gone to Quan Vy Đã. Their veggies are fresh and have more variety. Not only that, but look at this to go original Hue size large. It was $15.95 plus tax and you get only one meatball and pork blood. How much meat would you get if you ordered a small then? Half of that size and maybe 3 slices of beef? This is the worst I have seen based on portion. Maybe if you eat there then you get more, but this is ridiculous. I would not go there again. I should have known based on the reviews.
Bun Bo Hue: 9/10 Service: 7/10 I really like the bun bo hue here. I believe the portions are good and you get to help your self to your own sauces to adjust to your liking more. They also let you substitute out different toppings (I don't like the bones so I OPT for tendon or pork blood) I usually really like the service but today was different. Regardless, I'd still come back for the BBH.
4.5 stars, rounded to 5. I would definitely order again or go in person. Reminds me of a home cooked meal. Prices are inflated due to ordering takeout, and this is easily enough for 3-4 portions, even without the soup bone. Ordered: 1× Bun Bo Hue (The Original) $17.50 The soup is pretty mild compared to what it can be. Portion was pretty decent, with lots of veggies to put inside. There were onions and herbs, also a bag of shredded cabbage, banana blossom and more. They could have probably included more cured meats, but I was satisfied with the amount given overall. Edit: if you add the veggies shown in my pic into the soup, the flavors balance perfectly and is no longer too mild! 1× Banh Mi Bo Kho $17.50 - Vietnamese take on beef roast. 1× Extra Bread/ Banh Mi $3.00 What a treat! I really enjoyed how fatty and rich this was. Perfect on a cold day. The balance of tomato and warming spices was excellent. The beef and tendons lean a bit fattier than what I would prefer, but overall really nice to order. The flavor is so nice, especially on the second day. The extra bread is nice too, to make this 2 meals instead of one. 1× Bowl Xi Quach$10.00 - extra bone This beef bone was huge, most likely a soup bone from the pho. I ordered it mainly out of curiosity (what do you mean I can order an extra bone?) and was not let down. I used scissors to cut off some tendons to add to my soup, and plan to use the rest as the start to some incredible bone broth. There is also a little bit of marrow inside too. Service / Ambiance: Ordered via DoorDash delivery, so I did not have any experience with the team or restaurant. The food was also pretty lukewarm due to delivery, but I do not blame this restaurant having to make it through 3 stops! This meal reheats incredibly, so no harm on my part.
Solid bun bo hue ! The broth was light yet flavorful. Included all the fixings. Meats were okay to me, some on the blander side. Did wish it was more spicy, i added their chili oil but it didn't do too much. Overall an enjoyable bowl of BBH!
Hello everyone! Just wanted to share that I came back to this spot to try a new dish from Vua Bún Bò called bún bò khô. I heard it was really good, so of course I had to try it -- even though, to me, bún bò is usually meant to be soupy, not dry! I ordered it for delivery and mixed everything together once it arrived. The first bite was just okay, but as I kept eating, the second and third bites really grew on me. That's when I started to truly appreciate the quality and flavor of this dish. The real secret is the sauce they provided!! Soooo good!!
Ordered through DoorDash and it was a good thing I paid extra for the meat bc the toppings portion was a bit underwhelming, however, the broth made up for it! It was flavorful and the veggies were plentiful without being too oily. Would definitely come back to try it in person or order again.
They have three different style Bun bo hue from the different regions of Vietnamese which I have never seen that in any Vietnamese restaurant. I went with the Bun Bo Hue and the beef bone. Unfortunately I was disappointed when it arrived. The broth was not spicy and it lacked a lot of ingredients that goes into the soup. The beef bone was full of fat and was not cooked long enough. It was hard to chew. The "large" bowl was not large. As much as I wanted to give this place two thumbs up, I was not thoroughly impress . Friendly service. Difficult parking because it in a busy plaza!
Had the bun bo hue (nam). It was good. There was no wait on a Sunday evening and plenty of parking.
Not good... my friend ordered me bun Bo hue via Uber Eats and my usual bun Bo hue places are not listed on Ubereats so he decided on this place. It was my first time trying and last. The broth was not good, meat was limited, there was still fur on the pork hock(gross). If they can't even clean the food properly idk what else is not clean. I thought California is suppose to have amazing Vietnamese food? I've been disappointed majority of the time.

This is my second time trying bun bo hue, and I found this place recommended on Reddit lol. The restaurant is located in a pretty busy plaza, and it was kind of hard to find parking even at around 10:30 a.m. It was on the weekend, though. Inside the restaurant, there were only one or two other parties. The service was good, and they were pretty nice when we were ordering. The broth of the bun bo hue has a very deep flavor. I like that it isn't spicy on its own, and you can add shrimp paste and chili if you want. I think adding those definitely enhanced the flavor. The broth also wasn't very fishy compared to another famous bun bo hue place I've tried in the SGV. They only give you two pieces of pork blood, but it was cooked well and didn't have any bad smell to it. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this type of round rice noodle because it gets me full really fast. I do wish the pork knuckle was softer, though. It was pretty hard and not easy to chew. I think my favorite part of the whole bowl was the soup. I'm not sure if cabbage and perilla are part of the usual pairing, but they give you some on the side if you want to add them in. The bone was underwhelming. There wasn't much flavor to it. It was fun to see how big the beef bone was, but there wasn't a lot of meat left on it...mostly collagen. I don't think I would get it again because it was kind of hard to cut the collagen off. They were nice enough to provide sharp scissors and gloves, though. I'm not sure if I would come back, but I do think the broth here is worth a try. read more

Their bun Bo hue is deliciously good. Very consistent every time I go. Their service is fast and friendly. I only wish they provide more vegetables but it is nice that their vegetables are already cleaned and prepared to be eaten. The atmosphere is small and feels crowded like their Bolsa location in California. They don't offer the short ribs like their Southern California location. This place is my back up place to go for bun bo hue. read more

I was craving a taste of home and this place was recommended by my parents. Ordered a regular size of the The Meats and I was shocked by how large the portion was. The broth was on the lighter side and the proportion of meat to noodles was perfect!! I also loved how they have chili oil, satay, and shrimp paste on the side so you can customize your bowl to your own liking!! Service was quick and welcoming and I liked how they served nostalgic food, but the interior was fresh and modern! read more

I came here for breakfast. Loved the waiter that helped me. Super kind and friendly. In terms of the food, it was okay but not the best bun Bo hue in town. Would I come back here, probably not but it's not terribly bad. They gave decent amount of toppings and veggies to go with the soup. Loved that! Because there are so many restaurants in Oc, I would like to try other places before coming back here. It's in a very busy plaza so parking can be challenging. read more

Best place for bún bò Huế! The food here is really tasty and is the closest to the authentic Huế style. The broth is flavorful and isn't bland like most. They also provide you a plate of veggies that go with the dish. The restaurant is pretty standard to all the other ones. The decoration and vibe is kind of retro and urban with a lot of wood. The location is in a plaza so you should be able to find parking, but the restaurant itself is fairly small. Somehow, it still manages to hold a decent amount of tables. The only downside is that the price is quite high for such a small portion. I was definitely expecting a lot more that what I got. Also, my family noticed that they didn't give us any pork blood (huyết) at all. This is a very important ingredient for bún bò Huế. We're not sure what happened because they gave it to us the previous times we've been there. Overall, service could definitely be better but the food is good. read more

The good: Something I love about Vietnamese noodle soup dishes is the complexity of the flavors and their addition of fresh and raw herbs and vegetables. BBH definitely has the components. The broth was less spicy than normal BBH at other spots so my 2 year old daughter was able to eat it. You can amp up the heat with chili sauce they give you on the side. I liked the lemongrass flavor and how it came with plenty of vegetables (banana flower) and lime. The price was great (much cheaper than San Jose BBH). The bowl came with the blood patty and pig feet. The bad: The meat was a little tough. The interesting: They sell pho too. My Japanese nanny tried it as her first BBH and thought the broth was sour. read more

Had lunch here during the "storm" and the food really hit the spot! It's located in the same plaza as Seafood Cove 2 so the parking lot can get busy during lunch hours. Came on a Sunday around 1:00 PM and we waited around 10 minutes for a table. I forgot to take pictures before I mixed everything together, but I tried the following: The Original (Hue) 4.5/5 - would definitely come back for this. I don't get bun Bo hue often, but had to try it because everyone around us ordered it. This was $13.50 for the small bowl Bo Kho 4/5 - you can order this with bread, pho noodles, or egg noodles. $15 for a bowl. Good hearty meal. We ordered this with egg noodles and asked for bread on the side which was an additional $2. Customer service was also great! The person who took our order was nice and funny. The restaurant was also modern inside and clean. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try. read more

Came here for dinner on Saturday, and there was no wait. I got the Hu Tieu/Mi Thap Com (noodles with fish filet, fish balls, shrimp, and pork shank). For the price of $15, it was filling and satisfying. The pork shank was tender, but the pieces were very small. The rest of the protein was solid. The soup had a good flavor, but didn't particularly blow my mind. I tried my boyfriend's dish (the original Hue), and it wasn't too spicy. I actually preferred the taste of his soup. read more
This place absolutely hit the spot when we needed some piping hot savory soup to soothe the soul (and our immune systems). We got the house special bun bo hue which comes with a GIANT beef bone, we were flabbergasted at the size. The bun bo hue was flavorful and delicious and I will absolutely come back again for this. I also enjoyed my bun rieu and ecstatic we found this place. Portions of the soup as well as the veggies are great and prices were good. The place currently has 3.5 stars as of this review and it really is the sweet spot of mom and pop Asian establishments. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza in Bolsa, parking was ok, service was actually great and I loved every bit of our meal here. We definitely knew the meal was going to hit though when the other patrons were all Vietnamese, even the younger group was Vietnamese! Overall, loved it and will come back again. read more
Savory beefy spicy broth with tender short ribs. I added more chilli oil for more spiciness and also ordered a side beef ribs. Perfect with all the herbs and veggies. Service was quick and food came out piping out. Very satisfying noodle soup! The restaurant is clean, casual and modern decor. read more

Hi, Vua Bun Bo apologizes for your experience, and we are truly sorry…
Just what I needed on a cold day and feeling hungry! Was recommended this spot by a friend for BBH and it did not disappoint. Ordered the original Huế - small size, which was perfect for 1 serving. Flavor was not too strong, and not too bland. Lots of add-ins and veggies on the side (the manager even asked if we wanted more veggies!). Good service. - has bathrooms - located in a plaza with parking, but the lot is a bit tight and very busy - fairly priced, especially nowadays read more

As a Vietnamese American, I have chosen this place to represent the national Vietnam team bun Bo hue. Best bun Bo hue I have ever tasted. Better than my mom's. Sorry mom. Also I love how can you can choose to get a beef rib on the side. The customer service is quick and it's get in and get out type restaurant. read more
