The restaurant is clean and organized. I came to support them since they have been around for a long time. I hope they can survive the competition from many newer restaurants that offer better quality food at similar prices. The food was ok but they were not worth $16, compared to other restaurants. Everything was ok until we received the bill. We ordered 4 dishes and 1 drink, and the total came to $81. After leaving a $9 tip, I paid $90. My husband felt something wasn't right, so we came back to clarify the charges. The issue wasn't the money. It was how the staff handled our questions. When we asked for clarification on the itemized prices, both of staff openly admitted that the prices listed on the menu were NOT accurate. They "randomly" added an extra $1-$2 to ALL dishes when ringing them up. On top of that, there was also an incorrect item on our bill. If prices have changed, the restaurant should clearly inform customers by updating the menu, posting a note, or verbally letting customers know before ordering. After argument, one staff acknowledged the mistake and refunded us $12. What disappointed me most was the lack of transparency and professionalism. I honestly don't understand all the great reviews from Yelp Elites. Maybe some customers don't mind paying extra $$ charges. But I do expect the bill to match the menu! The stars were for the food and the staff welcoming us and fast with orders at the beginning. read more

This used to be my favorite go to place , I recently went t there and the service is none existent and the restaurant was dirty and food is not what it used to be. Quality of the broth of the bun thang is so diluted and tastes like water. read more

We were nearby in the area and needed something quick to eat. We didn't really have the time to read reviews and so my relative said, let's just eat here. Big mistake. We were here on a weekday middle of the lunch hour. There were two other tables occupied. That was a sign to walk out, but we didn't. We ordered a couple of noodle soup dishes, and there was nothing special about them. We could not even finish them because the broth had no depth or density. The dish with duck had a lot of fat on it, and barely any meat. For my beef noodle soup, the beef slices were questionable and the blackish color, perhaps over boiled was off putting. I usually don't waste food, but sadly, we had to. When the condiment jars and serving spoons are dirty and sticky to the touch, that's one indicator not to return. Also, there were no paper towels in the bathroom. It was not a pleasant experience at all. Had to buy food elsewhere afterwards. read more

We've been eating here for more than 20 years. Whenever the owner lady was around, service was always good. The old man is lacked of interest in serving people. My sister had the bun rieu and tasted so bland. My bun cha lacked of flavor and didn't taste the charbroil. We were so disappointed. When we paid, you don't get the itemized bill, the old man said just pay the total. I almost didn't think he deserved the tip. Will not come back anytime soon. read more

The best bun cha I have found anywhere outside of Hanoi. Absolutely great. 10/10 Very friendly staff. They were very polite even though our table lost track of time and were chatting well past their closing time. Sorry about that. read more

My favorite bun cha restaurant. My family has been going here all my life.

Poor Tasting! Unpleasant Presentation! Low limited Quality! I was expecting a delightful bowl of bun rieu per friend's recommendation but I think my friend play an April fool day on me to send me here. There was no topping except some ground pork, 1 slice of tomato, 1 piece of shitty fish cake about 2 inches square. Veggie was definitely reuse from the other guests as they had mixed carrot. Onion was not fresh. I'm not coming back for the money I paid. Nasty! I'm trying to unbutton the 1 star to zero. read more

My husband had the bun cha Ha Noi and it was flavorful. I had the bun thit nuong cha gio. The thit nuong was so delicious but unfortunately the eggrolls were raw in the center. We brought it up the owner or the gentleman in the front and he automatically offered to refund our money or if we wanted something else in place of it. We decided to get the shrimp sweet potatoes and holy smokes, it was good. So crispy and flavorful. The highlight of the experience was the customer service. He was so kind and respectful. I appreciate it a lot. read more

Love the Bun Rieu! Felt so comforting and homey. Service was super kind and fast. Definitely recommend

It's at least $15 a bowl but I feel like it's worth it for the authenticity and guaranteed deliciousness. There are cheaper places but there might not be seats or it's a lot more casual eating experience since the usinessrs ate mainly for to food. I got the bun rieu Cha ca. The Rieu/crab was perfect fall apart fluffy with a little give. The Cha ca/fish cake slices were a little thin but so flavorful. I could see and taste the literal pieces of fresh dill in the Cha ca/fish cake. The bowl looked a lot better than my pic but it legit smelled so good I started eating before I remembered to take a pic. There was a vegetable plate included that I also forgot to take a pic of. The other two people got canh bun which they seemed happy with. We all shared a pot of hot tea which was brewed strong. read more

I ordered 2 Bun Rieu Togo. I used to frequent this establishment and always on point. Unfortunately this time the soup was so salty and didn't even come with any vegetables! They used to give veggies.. like bean sprouts and shredded lettuce and the veggies limes etc. for the high prices they should be giving veggies to complete the meal. I spent 45 plus tip to be disappointed. I been going here since I was like 8-9 now with a family of my own I try to satisfy our tastebuds but the soup base is way off now. Salty and what's up with the large noodles!?! They fell off and I won't be visiting this establishment anymore. Even the yams and shrimp doesn't taste the same anymore and I was like how do you mess up the flavors!! I still am very disappointed and embarrassed to have fed this to my family!! So salty it went to the garbage!! Waste of energy any money!!! read more

BInh Minh is a hidden gem. My favorites are bun rieu, bbh and bun cha. All the dishes here are also good. The flavors brought me back my childhood and my mom's home cooking.

I went to Binh Minh restaurant with my friend a couple of weeks ago. We ordered 2 bowls of Bun Rieu and 1 pot of hot tea. The older male server brought out the tea pot and 2 cups. We noticed there was stained inside the cups, and I asked the server to change to other cups. The server gave me a nasty look, and he made a comment that only the tea stained on the cups. He took the cups and walked behind the counter, and used a napkin to clean the stained. I won't go back there again because of his attitude and the dirty dishes that they have. read more

Excellent neighborhood spot that i've been coming for years. Bun rieu is always my go-to.

Very good food, low prices, clean, great service. If you are in town, go here to have a great time.

If you're in the mood for noodle soup, Binh Minh is a great choice! They have two whole pages dedicated to different noodle soups plus several extra pages dedicated to other Vietnamese dishes. I tried #47, which was a rice noodle with bamboo shoots and fried fish cake. The broth was very flavorful and I loved how savory the fish cake was. It was a pretty decent sized bowl of noodles, especially considering that every bowl my friends and I got were under $10. Would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for good food at a fair price! read more

Bun Cha Ha Noi is not favorable as couple yrs ago. Quality is no there. The meat should separate together with fish sauce for to go. Vegetable is good but fish sauce had no favors as well. Customer service is tie on give given out. Not my favorite place... sorry read more

My mom and I came here on a Sat morning around 10:30am. When we arrived, there were two men at another table. We seated ourselves and grabbed two menus. Menu is very extensive. My mom ordered the Bun Bun and I ordered the Bun Bo Hue. Service was fine - 2 men working the front, taking orders and clearing tables. My Mom said the Bun Bun was great and not very many restaurants in Little Saigon offers this dish. I think there's only one size and her bowl was big. She took 2/3 of it home, even asking them to put less noodles. The BBH had tons of ingredients but you definitely need to add the vegetables, lime and purple fish paste. I am definitely coming back to try the Bun Rieu. read more

I ordered the Bun Cha Ha Noi and would definitely go again. For those that are looking to stay low carb, this is a great option because you can easily omit the rice and get a bowl of delicious meat. The meat was very well cooked. The restaurant is unassuming but the food is great. I would definitely go again. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is located on the corner of brookhurst and Westminster next to the 99 cent store. They have a couple tables outside spaced out for social distancing. Posted operating hours are from 9am - 8pm and closed on Wednesdays. First off, I have to say all their soup dishes are so flavorful and delicious. I know it's August and 80 degrees out but we are soup lovers. Everything tasted homemade and after speaking with the owners, they told me they have been running the family owned business for 22 years. My daughter said the egg rolls were the "best ever". She is 7 so take it for what it's worth. The table next to us ordered bun bo hue and it looked and smelled so good. I will definitely have to try it next time. It's one of those dishes that seem so simple but really hard to pull off correctly. Pro tip: If the husband is around and not too busy, he can make a nice juice mocktail using fresh juices! read more

Yet again another amazing meal. Phoned in an order picked it up. Ate it for dinner never am I missing and chance to get a meal from here. I get the bun cha ha noi and there is enough food for 1.5 meals. Love it my kids love the bun riue. Don't leave Westminster without a to go. read more

A small Vietnamese restaurant, located on the corner of Westminster and Brookhurst next to the 99 Cents Only Store, primarily known for their Bun Rieu and Banh Tom. This restaurant showcases several varieties of bun (rice vermicelli noodle) dishes in both salad and soup varieties, ranging in price between $5.75 to $6.95. Bun rieu, $5.75, is a rice vermicelli soup in tomato broth and topped with fresh water crab. Other ingredients include water spinach stems, spearmint, perilla leaves, annatto seeds, vegetarian sausage, bean sprouts and tamarind paste. It is a rich, complex soup dish that is delicious and said to be nutritious because of all the natural ingredients that go into making the soup. I thoroughly enjoyed the tomato and crab infused broth, the marriage of flavors and textures. Bun rieu is high on my list of dishes to try again. TIP: try the bun rieu with dau (fried tofu), huyet (congealed pork blood) or oc (cooked sea snails) for $0.75 more each or ask to combine them all like I did for a delicious, hearty soup. And do not forget to add the bean sprouts and garnishes. Bun Tom Bo Nuong (rice vermicelli with charbroiled shrimp and beef), $6.75, is another great option here and nice alternative to soup. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the shrimp was delicately seasoned and the beef was tender and well marinated. Banh Tom Co Ngu (deep fried shrimp and yam), $6.00, was another tasty new dish for me that I would highly recommend others to try if you prepare it correctly. Congealed together from the batter in which they were fried, the shrimp was plump and juicy, the yam shoestring fries were perfect: golden crispy and firm, but moist inside once you bit into it. TIP: these are meant to be lettuce wraps! Be sure to wrap the banh tom inside with lettuce and generously dunk them into the dipping fish sauce and then squeeze a few drops of Siracha sauce on them. This will certainly amp the flavor and give an additional crunchy texture to the dish. Beverages include coffee, milkshakes, smoothies and juices. Food is inexpensive and good enough, in my opinion, to hold its own as a nice alternative to the dishes offered at its very popular neighboring restaurants in the same plaza. NOTE: the location is incorrectly mapped on Yelp! It is actually located at the Mall of Fortune Plaza, on the same side as Garlic & Chives and opposite Brodard. CASH ONLY read more

Four Shiny Stars for Binh Minh Restaurant! This place has great home-cooked food, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly! We ordered three main dishes here. The first was the Escargot and Crab Noodles (~$7). The noodle dish came with fresh perwilla leafs, basil, bean sprouts, lime, chile, mint, and cilantro. There was a handfull of escargot in the dish (about 12-15) which made the dish fun to eat. Served with a side of ginger dipping sauce for the escargot. Also served with a side of shrimp paste (which may not be for everyone if you aren't used to this). The crab meat was tasty! Grade: B+ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/binh-minh-restaurant-garden-grove?select=K8SWOFWgdjDuXlqOR48DFg#ku8Cf6Pafavv4bcm2Q9LVQ The second dish was the Chicken Pho dish (~$6). A very nice and generous portion of pho noodles with chicken breast meat. Also served with the side garnishes. The broth was clean and tasty!

They've changed this dish, where it is now thick cut sweet potatoes/yams lined up in a row with shrimp on top and everything deep fried. It used to be a cluster of shoestring yams with shrimp inside the next. It was still a tasty dish, albiet it was difficult to eat becasue the fries were rather large. Grade: B. This is a cash only establishment. Food Grade: B+ Service Grade: B+ Worth the money Grade: A- Overall Impression Grade: B+ read more

This is my go to place for bun rieu. I decided last week to eat bun bun, a northern Vietnamese dish that my mother makes regularly for us. That's her specialty dish. Since the quarantine, we haven't had a chance to enjoy her cooking, so I decided to order this dish for the first time last week. Wow, it's delicious and reminds me of my mom's cooking. So what's this dish? It's not as popular as pho or bun bo hue, but to me it's one of my favorite. The broth is made from pork ribs and it has turmeric in it. It's unique because turmeric comes from India via the spice trade, but that route is in the South. How it ended up in the north, I have no idea. According to the owner here, he said that this dish is found only in the small villages in Northern Vietnam. At the end of the day, whatever is left over would be dumped together to create this soup dish. So there's bac ha, du du (papaya), green banana, topped with tia to and green onions. It's really a dish that combined leftovers of other dishes. Somehow turmeric made it into this mixture as well. Traditionally, the vermicelli noodles are served separately, and it comes only with the soup and you're supposed to add the vermicelli in as you eat. This was done because pork is expensive and vermicelli is less and by adding in the vermicelli as you go along, you will get more full and you don't waste as much broth. Therefore, the poor villagers can serve an entire family with just one bowl of bun bun soup. Anyway, I digress but I love this dish. If you come here next time, try this dish and let me know what you think. If you want to try this dish, this is the only restaurant that I know that serves this dish. I highly recommend this dish. read more

This was my first time trying Vietnamese food, and I enjoyed it very much! I had lunch here with Chad A. He recommended some sort of pork soup, but I prefer to stay away from pork, so I ordered a bowl with grilled beef and egg rolls. I also had a Thai Iced Tea. The food was brought out - Chad had a deconstructed soup, so he was brought all the components in separate bowls. Mine was just in one big bowl. I was a bit confused, because mine was not a soup. There was a small bowl of broth brought out, but we weren't sure if that was Chad's, or mine. Chad let me have some of it though. The food was great! The noodles had a great flavor, the beef was very lean and seasoned well, the egg rolls were deep fried and delicious. I would definitely eat here again! Prices were about $7 for a meal, which is beyond reasonable. The service is terrible, so don't come expecting much. The man seated us, took our order, brought our food, and never returned. You can try to flag the people who work here down if you need something, but they avoid making eye contact with you. read more

A few days ago, fellow yelper Christine D gave me a bun rieu suggestion, so today, I went and tried it out. I'd been to this strip mall before and never realized that this little place would have good bun rieu. After all, there were thousands of these places dotted all around Westminster and without suggestions, I'm completely lost around that area. Thank god there were only 2 bun rieus on the menu. I ordered the bun rieu oc (#12) while hubby ordered the #25 (bun cha ca thi la) which looked good in the photo on the menu. I also got an order of spring rolls. Both noodle soups arrived piping hot along with a huge plate of herbs including shiso, rau muong (shredded ong choy), mint, cilantro and shredded lettuce. My bun rieu had ground crab roe instead of the usual huge ball of it. I would've preferred it in a ball because I don't usually finish all my noodles and the ground crab roe was dispersed throughout the soup making it hard to eat the roe. However, the flavor was awesome. A small dish of shrimp paste is served alongside so you can add to your soup if you wish. I used all of it. The 'oc' (escargot) had good texture unlike that at Quan Bun Ban Mai where bun rieu is supposedly their specialty. (QBBM does not use MSG though). Hubby's #26 was a bowl of vermecelli noodles with fish cakes, loofah and was heavily infused with dill. VERY aromatic and flavorful. If you're not a dill fan, stay away from this dish. It's extremely strong. The spring rolls were also good and were wrapped using the traditional rice paper wrapper and not the lumpia, or Chinese spring roll wrapper. The restaurant is comfortable and new inside. It's not one of those holes in the wall, dirty places with sticky tables. They do use some MSG though as I can feel it on my tongue. read more

Every Binh Minh I've ever encountered (#1) has been a banh mi shop, so when I had the chance to dine in an actual restaurant I was stoked. But the reality is there will always be a Binh Minh of some kind in any decently populated Vietnamese community and trust that this Binh Minh is as solid as they come. Kind of like a good diner, they've got a solid hand in all sorts of Vietnamese classics. (#2) Their Bun Cha Hanoi is very akin to the real deal back in Vietnam, albeit with a fancier presentation and good portion. It sounds crazy, but I'll vouch for any of their rice (com) + meat dishes from com suon to com tam bi combo. In terms of noodle soups, their Bun Rieu is a house favorite. The crabby bits simmering in the tomato broth is well balanced with their abundance of noodles. It reeks of homemade quality and is a great dish to enjoy during the colder months (#3). While it's not the greatest I've ever had, their Bun Bo Hue is still a very good choice as it's littered with blood cubes, tender slices of of beef, and a killer broth. The spice is definitely there. Lastly, the service is very good. Not all restaurants in the OC do it well and I've got to say they're among the best. _________ (#1) At least in Portland, Seattle, Houston, and Louisiana. (#2) And none of which, are pho. How ya like that? (#3) Cold like ... 60 degrees. #SoCal read more

Went on a friends recommendation and I was glad that I did. Appetizer: had their deep fried shrimp and yam and egg roll Entrée: had their hu tieu, bun bo hue, and bun rieu. They're known for their deep fried shrimp and yam for a good reason, they're perfectly crisp and delicious. The egg rolls were very nice, especially when wrapped in the lettuce with garnishes. The hu tieu was by far my favorite from the entrees, the broth was light and crisp unlike some places where it is oily or heavy. The bun bo hue was sub par, it was very sweet and gentle. The bun rieu was okay, worth getting but lacked a certain desired kick in flavor. A good spot for when you're craving Vietnamese food for a fair price. read more

This is my go to place whenever I'm craving for bun cha ha noi or bun rieu. Their food has always been excellent and never disappoint me. The broth for the bun rieu is always good and on point. The beef is perfect and beefy. So delicious. Their vermicelli is soft, the meat is tender and juicy and has so many flavors for the bun cha ha noi, and the do chua for the bun cha ha noi is so delicious. Mmm their nuoc mam is always delicious. My favorite dish is their banh tom co ngu. This dish never disappoints. It has the perfect amount of crispness and crunch and oil. Service is a little slow sometimes but prices are reasonable. read more

Food is good but not worth $15 for bun cha. The dipping sauce was just ok and the meat was a little dry.

I've been here a few times every time that I visit Cali. The restaurant is located in the 85 degrees plaza off of Westminster. A hole in the wall by most foodie standards. Interior isn't gonna win awards, but their food might. Their Bun Rieu is definitely hands down the best I've tasted in a restaurant. Almost like home cooking. The highlight to me though is their Bun Canh, which is Bun Rieu With Ong Bak (Rau muon). It changed the texture and flavor of the the soup itself and gives it that enhancement where you scratch your head and yell, Genius! Enough said. That should be enough to go try them out. read more
