There's plenty of parking in this strip mall so that was awesome. I hate fighting for parking. The inside of the restaurant is clean. Luckily for us, they weren't that busy but then again, we were there on a weekday. So there are so many viral videos going out about bánh ít ram and since I love mochi and anything with tapioca basically, I knew I had to try it. I also got to try the mì quảng which was very tasty and flavorful. Everything tasted made to order and oh so good. I would definitely recommend that you eat the bánh ít ram when it is fresh and warm and get plenty of fish sauce too to dip it in. I thought the prices were reasonable but we were also very full and had plenty of leftovers too since there were only two of us. I would definitely come back again, maybe with more people so we can share more and try more dishes. read more

I ordered bún bò Huế, 50 bánh lọc trần, and 100 bánh bèo to go from Bến Ngự. The bún bò Huế was satisfying and reasonably priced, and the bánh bèo was a good value at $26 for 100 pieces. However, I was disappointed with the bánh lọc trần. I received 37 shrimp-filled and 13 mung bean-filled without being informed beforehand. I expected all 50 to have shrimp filling, as I had ordered here before. The food was okay, but I felt disappointed and misled. The restaurant should inform customers before mixing different fillings. read more

More information on Bến Ngự on Garden Grove blvd. 1) This is what they put in their bún bò Huế $14. The beef sliced very thin and all crumbled, and very few pieces. 2) The boned in pork chunk was very thin as well. 3) They gave a small amount of noodles. I bought one bún bò Huế to go and very disappointed when I poured in a bowl to see what kind of crap they serve to me. It looked good in the bowl BUT when I separated everything... very HORRIBLE. The WORST restaurant in town. This is the HONEST truth... GOD is my witness. IM NOT COMING BACK HERE TO GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS ANYMORE EVER. read more

I was here to try the Vietnamese street food Banh Beo. Ordered 8. COMBO BANH BEO - LỌC - NAM Combination of number 6, 11 and 12 $13.90 Salty Lemonade -refreshing Banh Beo dish is usually prepared in a tiny ceramic bowl. It is simply flat steamed rice cake with sprinkled of shrimps, scallion with oil, crispy pork rind, and shallots. To eat it, just pour chili fish sauce over the rice cake and eat the whole steam Cake quickly. It was delicious and savory... In the middle of the dish were BANH NAM and BÁNH LOC TRAN. It was delicious as well. Service was good and ambiance was nice and clean. read more

Saw banh it ram on the menu and had to try it!! They are made fresh to order so there is a bit of a wait but well worth it. The crunch was there, good amount of filling to mochi ratio, and overall delicious. Also ordered the mi quang but it was okay, too much noodle imo read more

After watching Ben Ngu's video on YouTube, I'm going to check out this location with my family because I'm visiting Garden Grove. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and were the first customers there. After we arrived, people began to arrive, and the various tables quickly filled up. I believe that everywhere we go, we bring customers to the store, therefore if you want to be busy with customers, contact me. Anyway, we ordered a lot of food, and the one my family and I enjoyed the most was number 13 on the menu, which is named Banh It Kep Banh Nam. It consists of steam mochi dumplings filled with pork and shrimp, topped with ground shrimp and scallion, served over fried mochi dumplings with fish sauce. We enjoy this dish a lot. Although the costs are reasonable, the portions are small. So far, the food has been very delicious. Definitely worth checking out! read more

We are happy and would love to come back and try more food items on the menu! We stopped in for Bánh ít Ram! They were bigger than I thought, very very crispy and chewy dumpling on top! Great flavors, fresh, and the crunch lived up to the hype! We couldn't stay just passing through this time, but created with friendly staff and calm atmosphere. I could see this as a nice go to spot for casual dining read more

Parking is spacious. There are a lot of tables inside, but it was fairly empty for a weekend. I placed an order via phone for very trending banh it ram, and it was ready within 15-20min. The portion was generous and the inside actually had a good amount of filling (pork slices and small whole shrimp), compared to other places! It was made fresh, so the bottom was also well crisped. Nuoc mam fish sauce was seasoned well. 5 stars for the banh it ram, which you can try here without a line around the building. read more

This is my go to spot for bún bò huế! The bún bò huế here is offered in a small or large for $1 more. The broth is seasoned perfectly and the small bowl is very filling since there is a lot of meat. There is also a generous portion of fresh veggies to add to your bún bò huế! Service here is pretty quick, we received our food not too long after we ordered. Surprisingly, the restaurant was not crowded during Sunday lunch. The restaurant is located in a small plaza with shared parking spots. read more

Their bun Bo hue is very solid. We decided to give this place a try since we were craving BBH and it did not disappoint. Prices are also cheaper than other places we've been to as well. A bowl cost $13.90 read more

This is my favorite spot in OC to grab Bun Bo Hue or just any Hue food! They're really consistent from the many visits I have come hy and dined. The service is pretty standard for a Vietnamese Restaurant. Just take your order, and if you need anything, just flag any of the staff down. When I go, it's usually not too busy, but they have the TVs on for the news and Vietnamese music playing in the background. read more

Ben Ngu - Bun Bo Hue (Large) - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Viet grandma approved! We came here to satisfy our banh bro craving. This place is an OG spot that recently relocated here. If you are wondering the difference between the 10 piece banh beo chenand the banh beo in the number 8 combo. There is a big difference. The Chen option is much thicker and can tell is freshly made. The combo banh beo you get 3x the amount but they are thinner and not as satisfying. You might not think 10 thicker ones will get you full but I promise it was a satisfying amount. I liked the banh nam I tried but didn't really care for the banh bot loc or the $1 nem chua. Parking- smaller sized lot but not too busy read more

Ordered the Banh Ram It because we were in Orange county on our way to San Diego and were craving it. Saw an Instagram social media influencer talking about it and decided to check it out. So glad we did! Called ahead and guy said it would be ready to pick up in 30 minutes. We also ordered the Banh Beo and decided to try it too, because my son loves those from Banh Beo Tolan in San Jose. Oh my goodness, the Banh Ram It were HUGE! The only ones we've ever had were from Hue Restaurant in San Jose, and these were like twice that size. The only thing was, they were just a little too crunchy/hard on the bottom. Had they been cooked/fried a little less, it would've been 5 stars. But the inside was chewy and filled with savory shrimp and pork belly. Each was served with fish sauce and chili. Wow, Delicious though!! The banh beo was really good too, and I thought that because they didn't scatter dried shrimp between each layer, that there would be banh beo without any shrimp on it, but that was not the case. There was still enough dried shrimp that every banh beo got some! Very delicious! 4 orders of Banh Ram It and 2 orders of Banh Beo cost $88. Kids ate it so fast, totally forgot to take a picture of the Banh Beo! read more

I was craving bun bo hue and found this spot on Yelp. It's a typical Vietnamese restaurant with a no-frills atmosphere, but the food definitely hit the spot. The bun bo hue was flavorful, satisfying, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a bowl! read more

One of my usual spot for BBH because my mom likes this place. The taste is a little bland for me. I love the veggies they give, very fresh and clean. The banh rang is good here but I hardly eat them. Banh Bot Loc and banh nam are good but the fish sauce isn't the best. The service is fast and the place is spacious. No problem with parking. I am ok with going here. They are on my top five choices for BBH at this moment. read more

Super solid spot for bun bo hue! The price is great for a very filling bowl ($12.90 for a large!). Restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables. Service is your typical Vietnamese restaurant but they bring everything out quickly and efficiently. The bun bo hue itself is very good! Clean broth with lots of toppings and veggies. We also ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee ($4 for 12 oz); strong flavor with a slight nuttiness to it. I think this is our new go-to place! read more

A staple for bun bo hue. It coms out super fast, I ordered and the bowl was out within minutes. Very flavorful and tasty

After watching all the YouTubers dining here and reading reviews about Ben Ngu, I decided to try it out today. :) Had the Mi Quang. It was actually very good. Generous portion of protein, which included pork, 3 large shrimps, and fish cake. The bowl was filled with a good amount of braised pork, chopped up into small pieces, perfectly seasoned and very tender and delicious. The shrimp and fish cake were also very tasty. I ordered the small size bowl and couldn't even finish it! I love it that they served it with a large plate of veggies and herbs on the side. Restaurant was clean and since it is far away from the hustle bustle of the Little Saigon, you can enjoy your meal quietly if that's what you'd prefer. Service was good. They had plenty of to go orders while I was there. Will be back again soon to try other dishes. They all look and sound yummy. read more

We love their Banh It Ram (fried mochi with shrimp and pork). We got their sampler plate which comes with clear tapioca dumpling and two types of steamed dumplings. Their Bun Bo Hue is good: broth is mild. Half their staff only speaks viet: so be prepared to point at the menu. They have clean crispy chili jars which is a good sign of attentiveness. They accept credits. Good luck with parking. read more

Our family has been going to Bên Ngu for Bun Bo Hue so many years as it's been consistently good. But in the last few months, we couldn't help but noticed something has changed with their recipe. It is now overly sweet and lacks lemongrass fragrance and flavor which is a defining characteristic of BBH. I wonder if the kitchen has compromised the BBH flavors with recent introduction of Bun Rieu, which is not a typical Central Region cuisine specialty. Too bad. read more

Still my favorite place for Vietnamese central region food. Never have to wait and plenty of parking. Prices went up a little bit however still very reasonably compared to other restaurants in Westminster. See new updated menu attached. read more

Wanted to try a new bun bo hue spot in OC and stumbled upon Ben Ngu. Overall I think the soup is not as flavorful as my favorite place but it does taste cleaner and easier to eat. They give a huge plate of veggies to add into the soup. I came in the morning a little after opening and there were only a few tables eating. Would come back if craving a lighter flavor bun bo hue. read more

Nice little mom and pop shop that serves a variety of Hue or Northern style dishes. Primarily they are know for their Bun Bo Hue. They have been around for quite a while. Food was delicious, this is one of the few places where they don't skimp out on protein and the banh beo plate was good as well, for the what we paid for, it was such a deal. Will definitely be back. read more

Disappointed to write this, but when service is that off-putting, i wanted to share my experience. My friends planned a little surprise dinner with the 7 of us for my birthday; it wasn't crowded when we were there, so we immediately got a table. However, the service was a bit off putting overall. I say this as a Vietnamese person who can speak the language and understands the culture, so I didn't expect or need over-the-top service in the way other restaurants provide. We were there to eat and to spend time together for my birthday. When my friends got there earlier they had asked if the restaurant could hold the cake in the back or put it in the fridge, to which, they said no. And even that was fine because who knows how much space was back there. Where it got weirder was with the waitress throughout the night because when basic things feel like a chore, it's where I draw the line. Unfortunately, the waitress with glasses was getting ruder as the night went on as we asked for basic things like water refills and to go containers. She spoke English and would be dismissive by making it seem like she understood the requests by cutting off our questions and but then would get it wrong (like not bringing out the right number of to go containers even when we kindly asked multiple times) and had a really annoyed looked with any request made. She also just seemed irritated that we were there even as we ordered a lot of food and left a generous tip. It was just an unpleasant vibe that I would not repeat again as she went out of her way to express her annoyances, which was felt by my entire group. I'd rather go to Hue Kitchen as it's similar, regional food, but the service was really welcoming and great with the delicious food and better prices to match. read more

The foods came out very quick and friendly staffs. Reasonable price.

Qúa ngon! :) Tiếc là không có nhiều người biết về nhà hàng này. Gia đình em thường đến đây ăn và thấy chỉ quán này làm đồ ăn ngon. Mấy chỗ kia không chỉ dở mà còn mắc nữa. Đồ ăn ở đây lúc nào cũng ra mau và có nhiều món để lựa chọn. * Bún Bò Huế: 7/10 - cho nhiều đồ nhưng nước lèo hơi lạt * Mì Quảng: 10/10 - nước lèo đạm đà và cho nhiều thịt * Bánh Bèo Chén (10 Chén): 10/10 - nước mắm và tôm rất ngon * Bánh Canh Tôm Cua: 8/10 - mùi thơm và cho thêm chả tôm Những người phục vụ hiền và làm việc rất nhanh. Cái quán nằm ở trong cái plaza nhỏ vơi mấy tiệm khác. Khu này hơi nhỏ nhưng không có đông nên lúc nào cũng có chổ để đậu xe. Lần sắp tới mấy bạn đói bụng, hãy nhớ đến đây ăn! read more
