Wendy S.

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.

This is a large Original Hue bowl. How much meat would a small be?

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Bun Bo Hue (The Original) soup is in top right. Additional veggie toppings not shown

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.

Bun Bo Hue
Amy E.

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!

Disgusting hair still on the pork hock.

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.

Jamie P.

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.

Bun Bo Hue for dinner

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!

Their shikye is also pretty good; I think they might make it in-house. Parking can get busy at certain hours, but you'll find a spot if you don't mind walking a bit.

There were some confusions as the staff tried to sort it out. In the end, they charged us for the right item and everything was fixed. So no complaints here and I'd still go back when I'm craving tofu soup.

The chili oil, fresh chilies, and sauces looked dirty, and after tables were cleaned, the serving spoons and sauce dishes weren't replaced. I actually had to grab them from another table myself. Overall, I'd come back for the food because it was genuinely good, but the service and overall atmosphere could definitely use some improvement.
