    Tried to walk in at 8:20 pm and a lady approached us saying they were closed. The sign says they close at 9:00. Wouldn't come here again.

    Milk tea boba, Thai dessert and iced coffee
    Ericka S.

    We've been here only a handful of times and as a vegetarian I'm not a fan. I've tried the veggie sandwiches and this time tried the pad see eww with tofu. The consistency and textures were not what I'm use to when it comes to Thai food. The iced coffee was fantastic. And the milk tea boba was a hit. The Thai dessert was also fabulous and we got another to go. The hubby tried the pork vermicelli bowl and said it was good. Mama ordered the diced beef and rice plate and she enjoyed it all. She would return to have it again. The service was slow to start and non existent when you receive your food. Which is expected for this type of establishment. The dining area is spacious but messy.

    Shrimp Nem Spring Rolls w Boba Milk Tea, BOGO FREE

    Review 108/365 Day Challenge This is my go to for a quick local Banh mi fix. Especially when i use to live in Fullerton. Also good good their quick food to go that's premade. Also is a restaurant for decent Vietnamese food including Pho & grilled pork chops. They offer different milk teas with tapioca boba toppings $ 6 but have a BOGO free deal. What we ordered ~ milk teas w rainbow jelly is good. ~ thai green milk tea with tapioca aka boba is good. Not overly sweet. Tapioca boba is decent. ~ Tri color dessert is a known Vietnamese Che aka dessert. A bit on the sweet side but teally good. Also have Vietnamese dessert/Che. I'll have to update on their banh mi. It's been awhile since I've had their Banh Mi sandwiches. Service is ok, it's a bit hard w language barrier which ends up turning into un politeness. Restuarant can use a bit updated. It's like a hole in the wall type of vibe. Located in the same plaza as Costco Warehouse & Amazon Fresh market, next to Panera Bread. Lots of parking available. But can be packed due to Costco warehouse shoppers.

    As prices are continuing to climb on everything and anything in United States and especially in California, you will never find another Vietnamese spot with prices so low. A bowl of Pho is $15.95 to $23.95 in most places these days. Here I got a bowl for $11.95. The sandwiches were $5.95 and buy two and get one free. The prices are absolutely unbeatable. I picked up a bunch of to go items for later consumption and got a couple of soups and sandwiches to go. 2 Pho, 3 Bahn Mis, Spring Rolls, 3 Fried buns, and iced coffee for $55. Unbeatable prices. The reason why this place is not getting the fifth star from me is because the rare steak for the Pho was absolutely horrible and chewy and I think it's either a bad cut or the wrong cut of beef for Pho. And the other reason is because the place needs a little facelift and some deep cleaning because it's starting to look old and dirty.

    extra veggies & cilantro?! None of the Bánh mi's came with veggies and were  wasn't enough to fill all 3 Bánh mis

    I've been coming here for 10+ years someone please tell me when they stopped putting the veggies in the Bánh mi? What happened Bánh mi chi cali?

    House banh mi

    When there are so many specials, nothing is special :( 2.5 stars on Yelp is accurate. Ordered two sandwiches with a third one free, two teas (one BOGO drink), and two dishes for a total of $45. Super cheap prices.. for a reason. My green Thai iced tea was yellow? Tasted fine with all the sugar. Banh mis were passable, bread was just a little longer than my hand and mostly bread. Combo vermicelli was mostly noodles and needed more of everything else. Shrimp was tiny and grilled pork was also small. Overall, everything was just okay but I will never come back because there's so many better options.

    I order a sea food noodle soup and I just get fish imitation 2 shrimp and not crab imitation and I paid for extra meat 4$ more and there was not extra protein want my money back... and there's can't give me my money I just wasn't my money

    Combo Pho
    Robert M.

    Pho the right price. 1 beef combo pho 1 4-fried egg rolls 1 diet coke $19 Dammn that was gewwd!

    Chicken pho

    Stopped in for a quick meal and ended up seriously impressed. The chicken pho was super flavorful, light, and comforting--exactly what you want in a good bowl. Everything tasted fresh, from the broth to the herbs and sides. The place itself was really clean and had a nice, relaxed vibe. On top of that, the prices were great for the quality and portion size. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to--highly recommend if you're craving a solid, delicious pho!

    I love the restaurant the food is amazing but the service is a little bad but if you like good price for the food it's worth it

    Kimberly M.

    Service was fast and easy being that I came here around 11:30 so just right before the lunch rush. Plenty of options to choose from. I got bahn mi and came with a good amount of meat based off price point. I'm definitely a returning customer and will come back soon again.

    I was here just to pick up some banh mi in a rush. There was a line on a Sunday afternoon! Then I noticed they have hot pot on the menu !? They look like individual pots, like the ones from Boiling Point. The banh mi was good and it was B2G1! Free and plenty of parking in the lot. They are next to Panera Bread in the Amazon Fresh plaza (next to Costco).

    What's with not answering the phone during business hours, I called 3 different times in one day and I let it ring but no one ever picked up?

    What's the prices for egg rolls party tray and how many pieces?

    Is the Milk Green Tea supposed to be sour? Store employee told me "it's normal coz they added honey." After all these boba places I went, I never had one that tasted sour even with honey.

    Nah bruh. It def shouldn't taste sour. I woulda returned it.

    Is BMC open during the shutdown?

    As of 3/30/20 - yes.

At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha. Eventually the person who would be our actual server showed us to our table and was one of those "I'm here to get things done" kinda workers.

She was attentive, warm, and genuinely great with my daughter. The one hiccup came when my daughter wanted to swap a meat option for steamed veggies in her pho. Daisy let us know the kitchen doesn't accommodate menu customizations, so we got creative and ordered everything on the side. It worked out, though it ended up costing about the same as a kids' pho for what amounted to a simple substitution. Outside of that, the experience was excellent, the restaurant was clean, the service was top-notch, and the menu had a solid variety to choose from. The lack of flexibility with customization is the only reason I'm not giving five stars, but I'd still recommend Mama Hong's without hesitation.
