Ordered to go, they were thankfully able to give me bowls and utensils to easily share and eat at hotel. Everything was packaged nicely, no spillage happened. Would not order Pho again. Broth was substandard and chicken was bony. Would absolutely order clay jar grilled chicken thigh with dried noodles again. It was juicy and delicious in every way. Quantity: enough to fill one person, no leftovers. Easy parking, lots of tables available, bathroom was clean, staff was friendly. read more

Got their half chicken plate with a side of noodles and everything was good. I liked how the chicken came with so many different sauces! The noodles also had good flavor as well. I liked the small crispy pork bites they put on top of the noodles. I also ordered Vietnamese iced coffee & it was too sweet. I felt like I was drinking milk, wish it had a stronger coffee taste. read more

Tried out their Mì Khô Gà Nướng Lu (roasted chicken noodles) and it was so good!!! The chicken meat was firm and juicy, and the skin is wildly crispy It was not super fatty as well making every bite addicted. I decided to order a whole chicken for to go so you know it's solid! And their crispy pork fat (tóp mỡ) is the best one I have ever tried. Very crispy and flavorful! I also ordered a chicken organ side dish. Only $8 with huge portion is a big deal. Unlaid chicken egg was creamy and delicious. The gizzard and heart was also great, but liver was slightly overcooked. Dipping sauce is tasty but could have given me more (3x more at least haha). Their fried rice cake (bột chiên) was ok as I expected it to be crispier. The sweet soy sauce is nice though. I also like the fact that they were generous about the papaya portion. read more

When we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away. Menus brought to us, and drink orders taken very quickly thereafter. The food took some time to come out, it's not quick, so make sure you have some time on your hands. The chicken looked beautiful, but it wasn't as great as its presentation. It was ok. Honestly, el pollo loco would give it a run for its price. The pandan sweet rice was perfect. Perfectly cooked and perfectly sweet, not overly sweet. The 'bot chien' which is fried flour (cakes), kind of like rice cakes, fried with eggs, was pretty good. Try it if you want, but don't expect too much from th chicken. read more

First time trying clay jar grilled chicken. The skin was nice and crispy on the outside but not dry on the inside. Probably a "healthier" alternative to the usual fried chicken dinner. Also is more catered to Vietnamese flavors. It's a good option every now and then but idk if I'll be craving it. Still neat to try out. We went during lunch on a weekday so we were able to get seated right away. The service was nice and they made sure we had everything we needed. I'll probably come back to try their other dishes. read more

This is definitely the place to go if you like chicken with a bit of smokey flavor. I ordered the following for takeout: Clay Jar Grilled Chicken, half size ($19.99), Pandan Sticky Rice ($4.99), Chicken Rice ($4.99), and Crispy Rice ($4.50). The chicken come with dipping sauces and seasoning as well as Vietnamese Coriander leaves. I personally didn't think the chicken needed any of it as it was so flavorful by itself, but it was nice to have for the rice. The three different rice flavors was unique in their own way and I liked all three. The Crispy Rice was on the smaller side, but it was my favorite one of the three. The half size chicken was more than enough for four people including the three separate rice orders. Service was friendly and everything was packed well for takeout. No complaints here! read more

I love their pandan sticky rice. I wish they used more pandan leaves so the flavor would be more fragrant and stronger. The chicken skin is super crispy. Not sure how many people are rushing to pay $40 for a whole chicken, but it serves 3 to 4 people. Fast and friendly service. The storefront is hidden in a scary parking lot. The restaurant is clean, but there is no AC, so it was a little stressful when we came on a 97° day. read more

Á Nù Quán is a small family-owned restaurant located on Garden Grove Blvd and Newland. It is in a small shopping center and is easy to miss, so drive slowly. I have wanted to try this place for a little while. I believe it has been open for approximately three years. They are known for their traditional Vietnamese Clay Jar Grilled Chicken. I ordered a 1/2 chicken $20, which was a huge portion and it came with dry egg noodles. The chicken was so fresh, tender, and grilled to perfection. The seasoning was perfect! I don't even like chicken, but this place has me sold. Will definitely come back again. They also serve pho, Hainanese chicken, and mien ga (clear vermicelli noodles with chicken). The service was efficient and the food came out fast. Happy eating! Yelp Review #24- 2026 read more

I stopped by here for dinner with a party of 7 as the bday boy really wanted delicious food that was unique & rare to find. A Nu Quan filled that criteria that night. We also brought cake and the servers were helpful and stored it for us. We ordered 2 whole roasted chicken and 1 pandan rice, 1 crispy chicken rice, and 1 classic chicken rice. Let me tell you that we were all stuffed! But did great damage (left only 1/2 a plate of rice and 3 pcs of chicken). This clay pot chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and they seasoned it nicely throughout. The greens and various sauces (a sweet fish sauce soy, sweet chili, and lime white pepper salt) elevated the flavors. And loved their pickled lotus root and pickled garlic as well. Forgot to mention someone also ordered a pho ga and actually it was super good. Broth was some of the best, but then once you eat the roasted chicken you don't care for it anymore haha but if you need soup then it's a good option! After dinner, we sand happy birthday and they even queued up a birthday song with the bday boy's name too. That was sweet. Would definitely come back! But pro tip is to definitely order whole chicken as it'll always be fresh ;) I'm sure they have to save some pieces of chicken for their other dishes so that's why I think whole chicken is the way to go. Awesome food at A Nu Quan! read more

Third visit. We have a problem. We are not seeking help. The food: * Fried chicken is dialed in - warm, crispy skin, well-seasoned, the kind that makes you protective over your plate. Pairing with that pandan coconut sticky rice is chefs kiss. * The salt and pepper and pickled unripe papaya are genuinely addictive. I am not using that word loosely * The dried noodles? I have questions about what is in that sauce and also I do not want answers, just more of it * Everything we ordered landed. Zero misses. The wait: * 10-15 minutes, which is nothing when the food hits like this * Use that time to decide which dish you are going to think about for the rest of the week The vibe: * Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, portions make sense * Hidden gem energy, but the secret is getting harder to keep If you have been here once, you already know. If you have not been yet, you are behind. Highly recommend. Aggressively. read more

I hope this review reaches the owners/managers. With all due respect, your restaurant smells like sewage and/or rotten meat. We walked in and were hit with the sour and pungent aroma. We felt bad since we were the first customers of the day and didn't want to just walk out. But it was really bad. After a few minutes it faded since our sense of smell got used to it but it was also really bad in the restroom. I really hope it gets fixed or the odor is found. I noticed most patrons ordered to go and they too were hit with the smell upon arrival. The food is good. The free range chicken is definitely delicious. But we just couldn't get over the odor. read more

This place has been on my radar to try and glad we finally came. It's located in a small plaza with minimal parking spaces. There inside is not very big either. We came at 3 pm so definitely didn't have to worry about the crowd. The servers were friendly and attentive. They were helpful in helping us decide which to order and were good at informing us of which dish is being placed in front of us. The clay pot chicken was so good. It was really moist and the skin was crispy. The dipping sauce complemented the chicken and made it even more flavorful. The dry noodles was tasty and was a good side to have with the chicken. However, the chicken rice was not. The rice was dry and hard to the point where it was just not edible. We were really disappointed. We really wanted to love the rice. I'm glad to finally try this place and would probably bring my friends if we're in the area. read more

Á Nù Quán is such a hidden gem in OC if you're craving authentic Vietnamese food. It's a small family-owned restaurant in Garden Grove that can be easy to miss since it's tucked inside a small plaza, but it's definitely worth stopping by. I've been wanting to try this place for a while because I heard they're known for their Clay Jar Grilled Chicken, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the half chicken ($20) and the portion was huge. The chicken was super tender, juicy, flavorful, and grilled perfectly, definitely not dry at all. The sauces, fresh herbs, and pickled green papaya paired really well with everything. Just keep in mind that rice or sticky rice is ordered separately. I came here with my coworkers and really liked how cozy and quiet the restaurant felt. It's a nice spot if you want to sit down and actually enjoy your meal. The prices are also super reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Staff is also knowledgeable about the menu and attentive :) read more

We were seated immediately for a party of 6. They did not have time to wipe down the table prior, so it was sticky. After notifying them, then they wiped it for us. We ordered the bot chien, dry noodle with chicken thigh, whole clay pot chicken with burnt rice and chicken rice, and pho ga. Our server introduced the sauces (for bot chien, dry noodle, and clay jar chicken) before our mains came. I think all the sauces can work with every dish, I forgot which one was for which. I'm not a big fan of rice cakes, but bot chien dish is so good. The rice cakes were crispy, but chewy and complemented the soft eggs. The dry noodles were nicely seasoned. The clay jar chicken comes with veggies too. It has a nice smoky aromatic, tender, and not dry texture. Everything was enjoyable and would definitely recommend for others to dine here. I think next time, I want to try the sticky rice instead of burnt rice. Service was quick for pho ga, bot chien, and dry noodles, but the whole chicken required more prep time. There's an automatic gratuity charge for parties 6 or larger. read more

I tried this voice because I saw it on the TikTok. I didn't think it lived up to the hype. The chicken was good juicy and flavorful, but I felt like it was a Vietnamese version of El Pollo Loco.

I would probably order a Pollo Loco instead. read more

Located in Garden Grove, A Nu Quan is a Vietnamese restaurant specializing in Chicken that's grilled in a clay pot. The chicken is well-seasoned with crispy skin and juicy meat. I ordered a half chicken for $20 and ordered an extra side of "chicken wing" ($8), which came with some extra pieces of dark meat. Also got Crispy, charred rice, which has those desirable burned, crispy edges that you get when you have rice cooking in a sizzling pot. The clay pot chicken is served with a side of pickles, herbs, and sauces (sweet soy, white pepper with lime, mae ploy sweet chili sauce). The crispy skin, the sweet/savory sauces, and the juicy meat are delicious. That seasoned, crispy skin is a game changer and it's what I'll crave. They also have pho ga (chicken pho) and hainan chicken and I'd like to try these in the future; however, just note that the clay pot chicken is what they're known for, and I'd recommend that you try that in your first visit here. read more

Savory, moist chicken! There was a bit of a wait, but definitely worth it! My sisters and I took our order to-go and it was so good! My favorite dip was with salt, pepper and lime they provided. I'm a huge fan of eating the skin, since the yummy fat and flavor are in there. I would recommend having it with some rice and herbs (that was packed with the order). Sweet staff here. Super polite and kind. I always appreciate kindness. Doesn't take much effort to be nice. Ambiance -- Modern, clean and good amount of seating inside. read more

We arrived on a Thursday at 7pm. I was initially concerned about the wait times given the reviews, but it was fairly empty during this time and the food came out decently quick. We ordered the half chicken, which is what they're known for. Chicken is nice and juicy and they provided sauces which were delicious although there was not a lot of meat on the chicken. We also ordered the glass noodle soup which my fiance loved, and dry noodles which was decent. read more

Here's a polished version of your Yelp review: Tucked inside a pretty rundown mall, this little spot is easy to overlook--but you shouldn't! The restaurant is small, so there can be a wait, but it's definitely worth it. The clay jar chicken was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. I also loved the rice cake with eggs--crispy on the outside and tasty when dipped in their special sauce. The burned rice dish was simple, but it brought back memories of the crispy, overcooked rice from the bottom of a rice cooker I used to enjoy. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

I've been meaning to try this spot for a while after seeing it all over social media, and I finally got the chance this Father's day. They're best known for their clay jar chicken and it delivered. It was huge, smoky, juicy, and paired perfectly with the sauces provided. We also tried a few other dishes: the pho ga, com ga hai nam, and my ga kho. The pho ga had a flavorful broth, the my ga kho noodles were solid, but the hai nam rice was underwhelming, you can skip it honestly Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the wait time really tested my patience. I'm very patient, but we waited over an hour for our food. The tables around us were in the same boat. One group mentioned they had long finished their drinks before anything arrived. If this place wants to retain its growing customer base, I'd strongly recommend hiring more help in the front and back of house. The food is great, but the service time could really use some improvement. It was father's day which was why it could've been worse than usual, so I will give this place the benefit of the doubt and return!! read more

Wow, I've never heard of clay pot grilled chicken before and now I am such a fan. This place really surprised me.

We got the whole grilled chicken with the sides of noodles, burnt rice, pandan sticky rice and a side order of bot chien. That bot chien is one of the best ones I've ever tried.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, if it was heading to A Nu Quan, it probably should've thought twice, because this is where chickens become legends on your plate. And trust me, you're going to love every legendary bite. We kicked things off with their famous clay jar grilled chicken. It's a masterpiece, served with lettuce for wrapping, fragrant Vietnamese coriander, and three types of rice that'll make you rethink everything you knew about side dishes. And let's not forget the flavor arsenal: five different sauces to customize each bite to perfection. In fact, each dish came with its own sauce (sometimes multiple), and the clay pot chicken alone had about five different sauces, including this really tasty salt and special pepper mix. We had so many sauces that we ended up joking with the waiter about how we'd never remember which sauce went with what. At one point, we even tried writing it down--but honestly, it was more fun just mixing and matching. By the end, we realized you can pretty much use any sauce on any dish, and it's a flavor playground. But here's the real kicker for the adventurous eaters: if you're a balut lover (or even if you've never tried it), you're in for a treat. Pairing their chicken organs--yes, that's the official name--with a bit of that tender chicken meat, a coriander leaf, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper is like unlocking a new flavor level. If you weren't a balut fan before, you might just become one here. I dare you to give it a try! A Nu Quan is the place where you go from "just curious" to "planning your next visit" before you've even finished your meal. If this is what happens when a chicken crosses the road, well, lucky us! read more

A Nu Quan - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I bookmarked this restaurant after reading Charles N's review and seeing pictures of the clay jar chicken. I had the day off work Friday and decided to try it for lunch. Interior was very nice with modern aesthetics, A/C on, upbeat music, and both table and booth seating. I was given a booth and a menu. Since I was by myself I ordered the dry noodles with clay jar chicken thigh. It came with soup and a leafy green vegetable. I also ordered an iced tea. My meal looked and smelled heavenly. The soup was an almost clear chicken broth yet was infused with so much flavor. Packed a garlicky punch too. The meal came with a dipping sauce plus more condiments were provided on the table. Honestly the chicken had so much flavor I used it very sparingly. The skin and meat had so much flavor. Unfortunately there was hardly any meat. Thank goodness it came with a leg because the thigh was pretty much all bone with a tiny smidge of meat. I'm wondering if you order the leg version of this dish if you get two legs? Would be a much better deal. The meat I did get I tried getting out of every nook and cranny. It was chopped oddly with a cleaver so I had to be very careful with small bone fragments. The noodles were cooked perfectly with a great texture and garlicky flavor. Large portion so this helped fill me up. The leafy green I haven't seen before. Tasted like bokchoy yet looked similar to spinach. After some google searching I think it's "water spinach". Whatever it was I really enjoyed it and dipped it in the accompanying sauce. Fried chicken skin was also sprinkled all over the dish. On the table was a garnish of thin sliced pickled garlic which paired great with everything. By the end you will have garlic breath. Only negative is I never saw my server again. My iced tea was brought to my table half empty and I never get another refill. Maybe there is no refills but I was super thirsty and could have bought another round or gotten some water. Maybe I was expected to get up and ask? Overall I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely return. read more
