    Not many choices on the menu compared to other restaurants but the food is good as always. I've been to this restaurant for over 10 years. They only accept cash.

    Goat udder
    Noba N.

    My friend had searched all of California as she was craving goat udder and found it in a local restaurant in Artesia and flew in from SF for her bday to eat here She wanted to show me that there's more to Vietnamese food than bahn mi and pho and boy did she order a lot of new tastes for me! The menu is mostly Vietnamese bar food. You look inside and what the restaurant assumes the general public doesn't care for is listed only in Vietnamese and the common foods had English translations on it so it may be good to take a friend who can read Vietnamese. The goat udder was nice and chewy. I surprisingly liked it. Fried frog tasted like chicken but when chewed it felt like I was eating fish. Goat salad tasted like the inside of a spring roll where there was peanuts some citrus and lots of fresh herbs. Goat curry tasted like oxtail to me but was Delicious. Extra bread is $3 Clams were sweat broth with spice chopped in with super delicious herbs. The quail reminded me of Peking duck I appreciate having access to such variety of food!

    Food is so good and the price? OMG extremely affordable I'm sad that I didn't this place sooner

    Tiếc canh vịt
    Mai H.

    This place has a lot of "do nhau" (drinking) food; which I love. Tiếc canh, dê xào lăn, and Vú dê nướng are among the popular dishes here. It's difficult finding unique Vietnamese dishes like these in SD; but OC have plentiful. I was recently introduced to this place by my sister and will make it a stop for some to-go every time I'm up in OC.

    Gia cay heo

    This place reminds me of being in Vietnam. The location is more of a hole in the wall place, not the most glamorous and definitely not the most cleanest, lol. Most of the dishes they serve are Viet drinking food. You have your 'tiet canh' (ducks blood) and many types of clams. Try these if you are feeling adventurous! I have also had their goat hot pot which was huge! I recommend getting this only if you have 3 or more in your party as we couldn't finish it between 2 people. We also tried the 7 courses of goat which was all delicious! My favorite were the goat curry (cari de)- so tender and well seasoned! The grilled goat meat was also super tasty. Another dish I had was the heo gia cay. It is a this pork soup served with rice noodles on the side. The broth is so flavorful and chock full of chopped up herbs and spices like lemon grass and galangal. Very fragrant! I would recommend coming here if you are looking for authentic Vietnamese drinking food! It is much different from your typical Viet meals like pho, bun bo hue, banh xeo, etc. Come here only if you are feeling ADVENTUROUS!

    7 courses of goat

    This place has the best Tiet Canh (duck's or goat's blood pizza) in town. It's a small restaurant that holds about 25 people at capacity, so it's not recommended for big parties. If you have a couple of people who's down to eat good food and have some cold beers in the early afternoon, this is the place to go. They have a lot of nhau (drinking/finger) food to choose from, as well as rice and noodle dishes. They're known for their goat dishes, but everything I have tried here is good. Be warned that it's cash only here and the place close around 7pm. It's a small family owned restaurant with no AC and the owner may look grumpy, but the food is exceptional and once in awhile you'll catch a glimpse of his smile. Try it if you're in the area.

    The tiet canh was awesome. Be Thui not so much

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

It also came with their dipping sauce, red rice and a fried egg. They also give you a side of broth. I was not a fan of their rice. Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.

The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion.

When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
