    I ordered a bowl of grilled pork vermicelli with two crispy net egg rolls. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The grilled pork was not flavorful and lacked the smoky aroma and traditional seasonings you would expect from grilled pork. Instead, it had a very strong pork smell. The crispy net egg rolls were also sour, and the sour taste came from the pork filling inside. I don't understand how the net egg rolls could be that bad. I couldn't finish my meal because the food quality was so poor. This was one of the most disappointing Vietnamese meals I've had, and I definitely won't be coming back.

    I tried 399 Vietnamese Kitchen during Orange County Restaurant Week and ordered from their $25 OC Week lunch menu, which was such a good deal for the amount of food you get. For my order, I got the combination pho, which came with their Rocket Ship appetizer, and the portion was super satisfying. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the appetizer was a fun, crispy start to the meal. I also tried the vermicelli with chicken and pork, which came with an eggroll appetizer. The meats were nicely grilled and paired perfectly with the fresh vermicelli and veggies. Another dish we had was the chicken and rice plate, which came with tofu eggrolls on the side. Everything felt like a full meal on its own, and the lunch menu made it easy to try multiple dishes. If you go for dinner, they also have a $55 menu for two people where you can choose two entrées, one appetizer, and one drink, or two appetizers, one entrée, and one drink, which is another great option if you're sharing. Overall, it's a great spot if you want classic Vietnamese dishes with generous portions, and the Restaurant Week menus make it even more worth trying.

    My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in OC!! The meats were so flavorful and juicy and perfectly complimented the vermicelli sheets! Would recommend ordering those if you're looking for a switch up from your regular vermicelli noodles- I liked the texture it added. Portions of everything are huge, and the amount of veggies makes the meal feel very fresh and healthy. Tried the eggrolls too and they were a highlight- loved the light flaky exterior and how packed the inside filling was. The interior is spacious and well-decorated, could see it being a nice spot for a special occasion but also for a casual bite! Will be back to try all the other menu items- I wanted everything here

    If you've been following me here on Yelp, you know I take pride in giving you my honest-to-goodness assessment--not just on the food, service, and ambiance, but also on something we all care about: parking. So let's start there. PARKING To my fellow high-heel lovers, be prepared to walk a bit from your parking spot to the restaurant. That said, there's plenty of parking, and I absolutely love that we don't have to deal with a cramped structure or pay $10 just to leave our car. Big win! SERVICE Excellent. The woman who assisted me was incredibly kind and informative. She walked me through items I wasn't familiar with, and when I asked for extra peanut sauce, it was no problem at all. FOOD Since it was my first time here, I went for their Brodard Spring Rolls. Each order comes with two large rolls packed with steamed shrimp, pork, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, mint, chives, and cucumber--wrapped in delicate rice paper. I love rice paper! If you've never had it and you're watching your weight, trust me, you NEED to try it. AMBIANCE It feels cozy--modern yet warm and inviting. The space is large and can easily accommodate over 50 guests. Perfect for foodie meetups! There are even outdoor tables where you can enjoy the beautiful California sunshine and the calming sound of the big water fountain at the entrance.

    Grilled pork bahn mi
    Dave B.

    We read about 399 and wanted to give it a try. Craving a goof Bahn Mi, I ordered the grilled pork version. It was really tasty with a bit of kick. We also ordered the fried tofu and egg roll vermicelli which was also very good. Could have used a bit more sauce but very good. I ordered the iced Vietnamese iced coffee which was strong but sweet. The only downside was the homeless guy sitting on the wall right outside the window staring at us the entire time. Awkward. But overall, it was good and we'll certainly be back k when in the area.

    Total bill.  Expensive and we didn't order drinks.

    Was looking for ramen but ended up at Tustin Market Place and decided to come for Pho. The food was surprisingly good. The loaded fries was not traditional but the combination of grilled pork, veggies french fries and sauce was delicious and a good idea. I would have it again. My daughter had the wok fried noodle add grilled pork $22 (pricy in my opinion) but she gave it a 9/10. I had the grilled pork vermicelli noodle $18 it was 8/10 good. My other daughter had the meat ball pho $18. I tried the pho broth and it was good. Our total bill with tip is $91.88, no drinks for 4 people. That is pricy. The restaurant was clean and staff offered good service. I would recommend and come here again just expect to pay more than other restaurants.

    Hair?
    YI Y.

    Today I order the beef brisket pho. There's hair inside? And no taste for the soup, no bean sprouts, no green peppers, no lemon. It usually comes as a bag of veggies but nothing for this time, and there's hair inside the pho , and I can't eat anything. I don't believe this worth $17. Worst experiences ever

    Sandy R.

    This is a hidden gem !!! One of the best beef belly pho I have had in Irvine!! The ice tea was just perfect !!!!!! & the rocket shrimp wow I can eat 10000 of them they were so crunchy and flavorful!!!!! I will definitely be back for more

    This is a one and done for me. I had the pork Banh Mi sandwich and two egg rolls. The pork in the Banh Mi was lacking in flavor and was over priced. The egg rolls were tiny and didn't look like Vietnamese egg rolls I've had at other places and friends houses. I can get double the food for the same price at THH. Their food also has more flavor. The service her was a little slow too.

    you could tell fake reviews from real ones. the dead giveaway is when they have only 1 review or they give 1 and 5 star reviews and rarely give 2,3,4 stars. however, most people don't read reviews and only look at the star rating. businesses have figured out how to game the reviews to attack their competition. i'm here because my cat is at the vet. got lucky as happy hour starts at 2pm decor is very nice, restrooms smell like candy...probably from the soap they use. very clean. normally the pork chops are 20 but during happy hour it's 16 and i have a soft spot for vietnamese pork chops. the water carafe is stylish but you have to pour slowly or u will make a mess. the food took a while so the server came by and offered me a free drink. places that are 3.5 stars don't offer free stuff when you are inconvenienced so imho, the true rating of this place should be higher and this is great service. at other places, vietnamese pork chops probably would have cost 17 but don't forget we are in irvine and the landlord is a greedy mofo and collects high rent so 20 for non-happy hour pricing is probably fair. however during happy hour at 16 is pretty good. all in all, i had a very good experience and will return

    We visited around noon for lunch, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Despite that, the service was extremely slow. it took about 20 minutes to receive our food, and we had only ordered one bowl each. The staff, though young and somewhat attentive, moved at a very relaxed pace. The pho was just okay, and each bowl cost $20, which felt pricey, though understandable given the location. The ambience was pleasant and spacious, but overall, I don't think I'll be returning.

    This place is just okay. Food is alright, but not particularly consistent or flavorful. Food presentation is pretty good. Menu could use better descriptions and needs pictures. Prices are too high for what you receive. Ambiance is kind of industrial.

    Oily oily garlic noodles that cost us $32
    Anh-Thu P.

    I was really, really excited to try this restaurant after seeing the menu and spotting a few home comfort food dishes that aren't typical of other Vietnamese restaurants, plus some unique dishes. However, our first, and only experience with this establishment turned out to be a total let-down. First off we ordered two lychee green teas, nem nuong cuon (pork spring rolls), and the nui xao bo luc lac (filet mignon stir fry rice macaroni) to share. The tea and spring rolls were great, no complaints there, but then our main dish came out and it wasn't what we ordered. When questioning the staff multiple times about the incorrect order, they informed us that this is what we confirmed with them (they heard "mi xao" and not "nui xao") and there was nothing more they could do for us. Okay, I will accept that I should've properly confirmed the order instead of assuming they heard me correctly. I am Vietnamese American, I grew up eating at restaurants that don't exactly provide good service but still good food. So let's just forget about all that for a second and talk about the dish that did come out. We received the mi xao bo luc lac, which is filet mignon with garlic noodles. The "garlic" noodles were completely flavorless, not a hint of garlic or even butter anywhere on them. The texture was both mushy (overcooked) and crispy (fried) at the same time, and it was absolutely drenched in oil. The large cubes of filet mignon were inconsistent. Some pieces were more tender, but most pieces were rubbery, tough, and extremely hard to chew. This was one of the worst restaurant meals we've ever eaten, and to top it all off, this rubbery, flavorless, oily dish cost us THIRTY! TWO! DOLLARS!!! And we didn't even order it!!! I had such high hopes for this restaurant. I was excited about a restaurant serving nui xao, a comfort food dish I grew up eating at home. I knew it would be expensive, but we like patronizing small businesses, and I expected good quality at the price point. We got one of the most expensive items on the menu, and it was pure slop. With many dishes between $25-$35, this place is a rip-off, nothing more. We will be patronizing elsewhere with businesses that not only have edible food at fair prices, but also provide us warm and friendly service.

    came here recently and wow... that sourdough is no joke…read more we ordered to-go and sam said the guy helping him (maybe the owner or manager?) was super friendly and genuinely delightful. that already made the experience feel good before we even took a bite. we tried the french dip and the garlic turkey pesto. let me just say -- the TEXTURE of the sourdough??? chef's kiss. crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, exactly how good sourdough should be. it honestly makes other sourdough spots taste a little mediocre in comparison. the french dip was my favorite. the au jus wasn't overly salty (which I appreciate), and everything just felt balanced and well executed. sam loved the garlic turkey pesto -- the mustard threw us off at first, but the more we ate it, the more it all came together in a really nice way. only con is the price. it's definitely on the higher end for sandwiches, which is the main reason I wouldn't order it super regularly. that said, you can tell the bread is baked in-house and super fresh, so I can't be too mad about it. overall, really happy we tried this spot and would absolutely come back when we're craving legit sourdough.

    The bread was delicious, as we expected. The outside was crunchy and the inside was soft and yummy…read more We split an 8 inch caprese sandwich. $16.99 for an 8 inch sandwich is pretty steep. $14.99 for 6 inch sandwich. The sandwich was good but there was too many competing flavors. Pesto aioli and something else were heavily applied and took away from the sandwich. We'll be back but will order more carefully. The staff was terrific and the place sparkling clean.

It's one of those places that makes you wonder why it isn't constantly packed. The restaurant is always spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. One thing I really appreciate is that they bring your food to your table, which is a nice touch these days. Be sure to leave them a tip they definitely earn it. If you have a dog, you'll love the outdoor patio, so you can enjoy lunch with Fido. There's also plenty of parking, which makes stopping by easy. Another bonus is the location. It's right next to Dairy Queen and several other restaurants, so if you're craving dessert afterward, you've got plenty of options. They also have an awesome self-serve fountain drink station with a great variety of sodas and flavored drinks. I almost hesitate to write this because it feels like Irvine's best-kept lunch secret. The food is consistently excellent, the service is outstanding, and there's rarely a long line. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Highly recommended!

Piadina is a small, bright sandwich eatery in Santa Ana. It looks like a chain but I couldn't find any other locations on their website. Al's though it looks like a fast casual shop where you walk down the line and pick your fixins but it's much more streamlined. You just order and sit, more like a burger joint. They also offer cafe choices like coffee and pastries. Items are on the pricier side but honestly it's filling. I'm told seasonal items rotate decently frequently Piemonte (seasonal) I'm a really big fan of the bread for these sandwiches. It reminds me somewhat of Chinese scallion pancakes as far as texture is concerned: a slightly sandy exterior with a dense chew. Flavor on the bread is doughy and nutty, very pleasant. As far as toppings, this is a very successful wich! The brisket is tender and savory, vegetables are crisp, onions sweet and crunchy, and the aioli tastes strongly of truffle. I'd check it out again if I was in the area! 7/10 Sweet caramel chai latte Well made and as described but nothing too crazy. Ginger is the most prominent spice and the caramel is a nice touch without being overpowering. 6/10 Overall I love the idea of a sandwich shop that has decent coffee. Check this place out for a quick lunch!
