We were looking for a place to buy authentic Vietnamese beef jerky as gifts for family in Florida, and the high Yelp ratings led us to 168 Kho Bo. I'm so glad we found this hidden gem! Located in the heart of Little Saigon next to Asian Garden Mall, it's conveniently located. Parking in the lot is limited, but there's plenty of street parking nearby. The shop was clean, well-organized, and stocked with a huge variety of jerky and other treats. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and offered generous samples. Since we aren't beef jerky experts, we asked to try their most popular flavor. It had a medium-high level of spice and was absolutely delicious, packed with incredible flavor in every bite! A special thank you to Thao, who spoke perfect English and made our experience even better. When she heard we were taking the jerky in our carry-on luggage, she kindly vacuum-sealed our order for us. They offer both 1/2 lb and 1 lb bags, making it easy to choose the right size. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and never pushy. They speak Vietnamese, Chinese, and English, ship nationwide if needed, and even accept credit cards with no extra processing fee. We'll definitely be back! If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese beef jerky bursting with flavor, this is the place to go. Be sure to ask for Thao, you'll be in great hands! read more

We've been to several dried preserves stores looking for the perfect ones because my mom loves them. She can't find such places in San Francisco. She's been to stores in Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley, Arcadia mall, but in particular, Westminster where we came across 168 Kho Bo. We marveled at how the dried ginger, spicy and not spicy, were fresher and not old-looking like the ones in the store we had just visited. 168 was newer, had more light, more customers (a good sign) and the prices were reasonable. Free parking at the mall. We'll be back the next time mom runs out of her preserves and visits me in Los Angeles. read more

My mom asked me to buy some jerky when I visited the mainland last year. During that visit, my experience with the service staff was positive. The quality of their food was also pretty good. The store was clean. None of the food I brought back to Hawaii got moldy or old, compared to this other popular jerky chain I shopped at from the same area. Anyway, this time, my mom asked me to check if there's an option to order online for shipping to Hawaii. I placed my order online late Friday night. They called me on Saturday morning to notify me that an item was out of stock and offered a replacement. They then mailed my purchase on the same day. The lady on the phone, whom I spoke to, sounded friendly and courteous. Today is Monday, and I received my purchase. I'm very impressed with the speed of service and professionalism of this business. The food I received looked fresh and of quality. I hope they shall continue to keep this transparent, prompt, friendly customer service, and quality of food up!! :) read more

168 Kho Bo - Beef jerky ans some dried fruits - Imported Food Near Me - Westminster, California

Second time coming back for the mango and spicy guava. Tried the other popular place, but this place has better flavor. Their spicy guava has a very light salty kick to it. Other place is just sweet and typical. Friendly service. You can try anything you want here. They will help cut up samples and get the items for you. It's not self-serve. read more

This jerky place is very different than other chains like vua kho bo. I always feel welcome every time I come in here and someone is always to help. Place is organized and clean as well. I usually come here for xi muoi, coc ngam, and or dried green mangos. They will let you sample whatever you want, just have to ask. This is also the only place that will ask if you're ok with going over the quantity that you asked for when they ring you up. Today was my 5th time back at this store. Definitely recommend for all your dried goods. read more

When you come to this store, you'd better buy a lot, because if you don't, the staff treat you like trash and talk down to you. We will never come back. The employees are extremely rude and have no respect for customers. Paying money just to feel insulted is unacceptable. Management seriously needs to reconsider how they train and supervise their staff otherwise, it might be better to shut the place down. One day, this kind of behavior is going to get reported. read more

Caution when order online. I received my package but there is missing a bag of deer flavor beef jerky. I sent them few email but they did not respond. It look like if they send you the wrong order, it is your bad luck, they will not do anything for you. read more

Fantastic beef jerky and dried fish. A nice employee offered to let me try everything but I was only interested in a few flavors of beef jerky. Everyone should come here instead of Vua Kho Bo. No aggressive upsell and no "accidental" overweighing. I asked for a lb of this beef jerky and another half lb of another jerky and got exactly that. The employee actually under estimated the dried fish. I asked for half a lb, she scooped the fish into a bag and it came out to be 0.39 I think. The bag looked filled but the fish was light. I would come back anytime I get a kho bi craving. read more

The guy who helped me made me feel rushed and smothered. The auntie was nice and asked if the amount was alright before I paid. Overall I think I had a better time at vua kho bo inside Thuan Phat. Prices are similar as well. read more

Cô Mỹ, Cô Thảo are very nice. The best in California!!! Must try, right next to Phuoc Loc Tho read more

168 Kho Bo - Customer Service - Imported Food Near Me - Westminster, California

I tried many locations of Vua Kho Bo and Kho Bo Cali but always keep coming back to 168. Very nice customer service and they weigh the exact amount you ask for. Even if it goes above, it's VERY MINIMAL!! Totally different from other places where they try to add a lot more and be pushy about it. read more

This place is great, they have many different items to choose from and very clean and organized compared to other places, we got 5lbs of kho bo and some candies for our little one Could have been 5 stars from me if the younger employee didn't yell at my 4 years old daughter for picking a sealed candy in the jaw, they should have the sign like "dont touch" in the store because it looks like self service candies like you see at the winco, first time buying here here people wouldn't know...the older employee was nice tho I would be back for more kho bo. read more

This is hands down the best beef jerky I've ever had! The texture is perfect--chewy but not too tough--and the flavor is amazing. Each bite is packed with a delicious smoky taste that's just the right balance of sweet and savory. I can't get enough of it! Service is awesome!! read more

168 Kho Bo - This is hands down the best beef jerky I've ever had! - Imported Food Near Me - Westminster, California

This is the best jery I have found on line. I always come back for more. Also, they ship it to me fast.

I don't like Vu Kho Bò. It always so much pressure there to buy. Here at 168, no pressure to over buy anything. They give you exactly what you want. I recommend everyone go here! read more

My first time visiting this place since I was out of town for Veterans Day weekend! My dad wanted me to get him some Vietnamese beef jerky. When we walked in, the staff were really welcoming and asked if we needed help. After a few minutes, they also asked if we wanted to try anything. I got to try the non-spicy beef jerky that many get, and I got that for my dad! Next time when I come back I'm going to get him the spicy one. My dad really liked it! Paying in cash will save you the credit card fee and good thing I had cash! Will be back in a few weeks! read more

There are a lot of options and they carry a lot of spicy ones. When I came in, the employee spoke to me in Vietnamese but when I responded in English, they switched to English. I appreciate that they're bilingual. I got 4 types of jerky. My favorite is the one with the sesame seeds both spicy and non-spicy. It tastes almost like teriyaki and just the right amount of sweetness. It was a bit pricey for $30/lb. The jerky is fresh and the packages are sealed after purchase. They offer samples. read more

Super fresh jerky and so much variety. I think they make a lot of their stuff in house. They even make the Vietnamese chicken jerky. My personal favorite is their fresh sesame sweet beef jerky. The employees are friendly and there's very little hassling unlike their competitors. This is the spot if you're looking for fresh and authentic Vietnamese jerky and treats. read more

We normally go to Vua Kho Bo but decided to try 168 and I have to say it was a pleasant experience. Price, quality, selection is comparable but the service was different because 168 wasn't pushy. They didn't shadow and micro manage your every move and then try to up sell every ounce and pound. It could be due to who we had at the time but that was more than enough to convince us to come back. Either way, it just depends on the convenience and where you're at because both places offer the same thing. We always get the crispy jerky and this product is always pre packaged by one pound bags. At 168, they also offer in half pound which I like. It's also so easy to spend more than you like here. Average pound is about $18 and the jerky that we got were $36 a pound. We walked out with 4 different types for a total of $80+. What also sets 168 apart from the others is that they ship out of state. read more

1/21/ 24 minh tới mua. Mọi người mua đồ ở đây nhớ cẩn thận coi lại received. Lúc mua họ có để bản giá ghi $15/BỊCH. Tới khi về nhà xem lại thì họ tính tiền $30 cái bịch nó. Bảng ghi rõ ràng là tính bịch giờ gọi thì nó nói tính lb. Tiệm lớn mà làm ăn không rõ ràng gì hết ai mà tới nữa. read more

It has been a few years since I have been coming here and the front desk lady still treats me like a new customer. Always ask for samples when you come in here. read more

Great customer service and honest people! Me and my fiancé love dried goods and beef jerky. We previously went to Vua Kho Bo and they are scammers! You ask for 1lb and they give you 3lbs. This place has honest people who are friendly and not trying to scam you like all the other places. Also their product taste even better! Highly recommended!!! read more

The place is clean, open, and friendly. The staff were very professional and helpful. They have dried meats, fruits, candies, and vegetarian options. When coming in someone greets you at the door, asking if you are looking for anything in specific. They greeted me in Vietnamese but switched over to English once they realized it was easier for me to understand. They will allow you to sample and they will be the only ones handling the scooping. The dried meats and vegetarian options were delicious. Will come back! read more

Nice. Clean. Great selection of products. Very helpful. The Bo Kho is great. We got a couple of pounds of tamarinds as well. Seedless and seeds are very different in tastes, even though the seasonings are the same. They let you sample some the products. We stayed for about 1/2 hour just to see everything. Would definitely buy from them again. read more

Really nice & accomodating. They were so nice to our house too. Everything is delicious. They were not pushy at all. read more

Normally we would visit Vua Kho Bo but it's been horrible experiences in the past so we decided to try a new place. 168 pleasantly greeted us and left us alone until we were ready to try out some jerky. Price and quality are good. They got exactly the amount we wanted. Current promotion buy 5lbs get 1/2 free. Would come back on my next visit. read more

Super great customer service ! I was able to find so many Vietnamese snacks like Jerky & candy for my Mom. While I was there I found that they also ship, which is nice. They will give you samples! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time today. They ladies were so nice and helpful and let us try the dried beef and fruits before we buy. We ended up buying two types of dried beef, dried mango and dried son tra (hmong apple). The son tra dried fruit had a sweet and sour taste, everyone must try this! They look like tiny wild apples. They have all sorts of jerkies(fish, squid, mini crabs, chicken, vegan) and dried fruits and vegetables. We're definitely coming back to try more goodies! We love this place! read more

Great service and they are super friendly! Good quality stuff and they let you try things before you decide to order it so you know what you're getting! I'm not Vietnamese but they really helped me understand what I was trying and showed me all of the great things to buy. They even have candy that is better than what you would buy in standard stores! My spice tolerance is pretty low so some of the stuff was too spicy for me, but they have tea that you can drink to help ease the spice. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about different types of jerky/dried food etc. I look forward to visiting again! read more

They really nice even that the covid have not fully over yet but they still let you try the food to see if it fit your taste, the people that in the store they always smile and helping me. They will also tell you if they think about the food even when it not good, they also don't get offense or change their attitude if you say that the food doesn't fit your taste. They let you try as many food as you want and most of the one that I have tried tasted really good and "fresh" so it really worth the price I will definitely come back to purchase. Mọi người trong tiệm cực kỳ nhiệt tình và vui vẻ với khách, mấy cô trong tiệm luôn niềm nở và chăm lo cho khách hàng mấy cô cũng giới thiệu mấy món mà mấy cô nghĩ là ngon hoặc không ngon, lỡ mà ăn thử mà thấy không hợp vị thì mấy cô vẫn luôn giữ thái độ vui vẻ và nhiệt tình chứ không có thay đổi thái độ đối với khách hàng. Ở tiệm cho thử nhiều loại đồ ăn khác nhau để mình coi cái nào hợp với khẩu vị của mình, đồ ăn rất là ngon và tốt cũng như dịch vụ chăm sóc khách hàng. Giá đồ ăn rất hợp với giá tiền tôi chắc chắn sẽ quay lại để mua đồ ăn. read more

I live in MD and I went searching all over to find the best Asian Beef Jerky and boy did 168 Kho BO DELIVER. I was very impressed with how quickly they shipped out my order as well. I ordered on Friday and received it on Monday coming from Cali mind you. I purchased about 4 lbs of jerky in different flavors and they are so good. I will be ordering more when I'm done and I will purchase other items as well as their quality is superb and shipping was lightning fast. The only issue with it coming from across the country is that it is in heat while be transported for three days and causes humidity in the packages but I'm not complaining. I love their products. read more

168 Kho Bo - I'm missing a pack because I ate it all as soon as I got it. - Imported Food Near Me - Westminster, California

I'm a loyal customer to "Vua Kho Bo" but I'm glad I came across this place! The prices for their jerky is cheaper but that doesn't mean that the quality of the jerky is any less. The employee that helped us was super friendly and helpful. They have a "Buy 5 lbs get 1/2 lbs for free." They also have a good selection of Asian candy, jerky, sweets, and snacks. I'll definitely come back when I'm looking to treat myself! read more

We stopped by because it was pouring outside. We got a sample of dried tamarind spicy candy. It was very good. I don't speak Vietnamese and the gentleman helping me didn't speak any English. So we had some problems communicating what we were looking for. read more

Store visit on 2/7/2022: No sample was given for tasting, so I bought a 0.5lb bag of 168 Khô Bò Crunchy Beef Jerky. The bag looks flashy, but its content leaves much to be desired. Having enjoyed quality beef jerky sold at Hàng Giấy in Ha Noi and An Dong, Ben Thanh markets in Saigon, I had high expectations. And the beef jerky from 168 Khô Bò truly disappoints; besides tasting somewhat hot and sweet, this overdried product is really bland, perhaps because of the incorrect flavoring. A waste of money and time; needless to say that I will never return. read more

I went there and spent almost $150 before Tet to buy snacks for my aunts and mom. The wrapped o mai candies were spoiled and my mom took it back to let them know. The pickled mango in the jar that I brought for myself was not fleshed and it had a weird after taste. My mom has been a loyal customer at that place for years. They accused my mom of returning the candies because she simply got bored with the taste after enduring herself. They told my 83-year old mother not to come back! Is this how you treat you loyal customers and the elderly? They not only lost one customer but my siblings and relative's as well. They refunded my mom $5 for the rotten candies but they lost more than $5 that day! If your customers tell you it's expired, taste it yourself before you doubt and be rude to your customers. read more

Huge selection of beef jerky. Credit card transactions incur 75 cents surcharge. Kinda expensive for beef jerky. I probably won't be back.

Clean, delicious , and super great service here. They let you try things before purchasing and very nice packaging

I like that they actually weigh out how much I asked them. Other dried Vietnamese food stores always put in extra weight when I didn't want that much to begin with. Everything I bought was tasty, Will be back. read more
