This restaurant is a stop and go tucked away to the very end of the airport. It was a bit of a trek to get there from my gate but once there the food was easy to grab and go! Perfectly sized for eating on the plane. read more

What a surprise! Such a delicious meal at a small airport. Vermicelli and chicken bowl was the best airport meal I have ever had. Good amount of food with tasty chicken and flavorful seasonings. It was filling yet light and healthy. read more

Amazing to see brodards express Vietnamese food in an airport! I'm Vietnamese and I'm from Orange County and I love going to eat at brodards restaurants! Their spring rolls are famous. To have a proper delicious and healthy dinner send off on my evening flight across country was just an incredible feeling rather than eating pizza or burgers. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance was nice and busy as it is an airport. They have Thai green tea with sea salt cream boba too! I would ask no boba balls next time bc the boba was hard and not freshly made and soft but the drink was strong & tasty! Other than that the food is delicious and the house special vermicelli noodles was packed with bbq pork, egg roll and shrimp. Definitely going to eat this place anytime I have a chance to take a flight at John Wayne! read more

Brodard Express - Iced Thai green tea with sea salt cream and specialty spring rolls and house special vermicelli noodles, with pork, shrimp, and egg rolls - Food Court Near Me - Santa Ana, California

By far the best food option available in SNA, and better than any domestic 1st class food out of this airport. It's a bit pricey (grilled beef bahn mi, shrimp roll and Thai tea came out $40 with tax). read more

The veggie noodle bowl was packed with veggies but the add on egg roll was underwhelming (in taste and size) for $2.50++ or with all the taxes about $3. So skip the egg roll but enjoy the perfectly cooked vermicelli, delicate sauce and fresh veggies. Airport food usually sets a low bar but this place exceeded expectations. Service was slowish but worth it because made to order. read more

Very glad to see this new restaurant at SNA. Great selection. My spring rolls were outstanding. I do hope the boba improves though. The tapioca was hard and chewy. Hoping for soft and delicious boba the next time I'm catching a flight. read more

Was super excited to hear the news about Brodard opening a location at John Wayne Airport and even more excited to be passing through recently and able to try it. It's a quick service location with the ability to order ahead online. Menu items are limited but the most important dish, the famous pork spring rolls, are available here. They also serve beer and wine. The rolls aren't as good as their main restaurant locations, but still satisfies the craving. read more

Brodard Express is the best place to go when you want something quick and tasty at the airport! There has never been a long line when I've gone and the food really does come out fast. Get the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls or the Grilled Shrimp Spring Rolls. The house special sauce that comes with the rolls is truly special! read more

Favorite place to eat at SNA. My girl loves the simple baguette and butter. The spring rolls are fantastic. Beef, tofu, or eggplant. All so good. Bahn mis are all good too. read more

Tough to beat this at the airport. This is always a favorite. They are located before terminal C and after Terminal B. Go past Ruby's Diner to the promised land! I had two spring rolls. The Grilled Pork, and the Grilled Shrimp as well as a Vietnamese iced coffee. Plenty of comfortable seating as well read more

This particular express location is slightly more than the other location in Fountain Valley. Overall it's decent but the people here seems to rush people. If your near by and don't mind the slightly higher cost and just want their spring rolls then this is the place hense express read more

It's a nice Vietnamese place in SNA airport with tasty food. Service is not the fastest and the portions are small. We got the banh mi and the spring rolls, which we ate very quickly. Granted, airport food is overpriced to begin with thus I can't fault this place too much and give it an OK overall. read more

When I live in SoCal, I was a frequent diner at the Brodard Restaurant in Westminster, so imagine my absolute delight when they opened an Express location in John Wayne International Airport. I travel for work and use SNA about twice a week. One of the best aspects of this location is the ability to mobile order; having fresh and delicious Vietnamese food ready by the time I get through TSA or having it ready for me as I leave the airport is a game changer. Food is just as delicious as their regular storefronts'. Staff are always friendly, helpful, ready to answer questions, and are generally efficient. As expected, prices are a little higher because of the airport location, but still affordable. Depending on the time of day, the ambiance can be a bit loud as it is directly across from two gates and at the edge of a main food court. All in all, a great Brodard extension and a great addition to SNA! read more

This might be the best Vietnamese food we've ever had. So fresh and tasty. Reasonable prices for an airport, too!

IYKYK kinda place for those who just think its just a "Vietnamese" spot in the airport. BRODARDS in John Wayne Airport? Best surprise ever!!! Without the super long lines from the real Brodards Restaurant. I LOVE SNA, but this just goes beyond. The Pork Spring Rolls are smaller, pricier, and you don't get the long ass chive, but it satisfied my craving. I mean, I'm at the airport. If they can upcharge feminine products, they definitely upcharge on food. 2 pork spring rolls were $8.95. The Rib Eye Banh Mi Sandwich was soo good, I wish I didn't share with the hubs. Price $16.95!!! Prices are crazy for Banh Mis here. I had to wash it down with a Thai Iced Tea with sea salt cream and boba $7.95. Since I didn't get to go to Westminster this trip for all the Vietnamese food, I'm glad the airport had something. read more

Stopped here for a quick meal before my flight. I ordered the Noodles with Egg Rolls (Bun Cha Gio) because I really wanted something crunchy and crunchy were these egg rolls. The noodles were super plain. I wished there was an option to add a protein like beef or shrimp and it would have made it extra tasty. But not bad for a quick meal. read more

We got to visit Brodard Express as we finally had a chance to flight out of John Way airport. They locate on the right side after you passed security checkpoint. I was impressed with the fresh made items and very convenient for eating at the airport or bring food on the airplane. The prices were of course higher than their regular store due to airport prices however still affordable. I believe 2 pork rolls are around $9.00. A big plus to have good food options at the airport. Good job Orange County! read more

Insanely good Vietnamese food- even more so because it's hard to find good food in an airport . DELICIOUS!. Near Gate 13. The only caveat is it is expensive. My food , drink and tip came to $28 read more

Got the famous brodard rolls it's famous for. Yes Yes Yes. They are famous for a reason. We added the duck buns as well. All winners. A must stop next time we are in town. Success! read more

I love their Banh Mi. The bread is always soft and the fillings are flavorful. I schedule extra time in the airport just to get one for lunch. I usually get the macarons, but they are not nearly as good (often a bit hard). Don't miss the sandwich! read more

The shrimp spring bowl was very fresh and tasty. Had a new twist with inside of it. Everything was clean and organized. You could order a head on the barcode if you wanted. read more

Brodard continues to impress me and I was so happily surprised on my way to a girls weekend that they have an express version at the airport. Score!!! It's in the food court so ambiance is well... you know! I ordered the vegetarian banh mi sandwich and slightly confused as to why it would take 7 minutes to prepare. Don't question the magic! I got my warm sandwich folded neatly in brown wax paper. The French bread was comfortably crunchy on the outside (meaning it will not scar your gums as you take your bites!) and airy and soft in the middle to house the delectable vegetables: sautéed onions, tofu and the surprise: eggplant. All of that covered in a dark slightly sweet sauce and the usual toppings of cilantro and pickled carrot and radish and jalapeño slices. If they can do this witchcraft with a veggie banh mi, I cannot wait to try their signature rib eye banh mi when I'm back! Brodard here I come! Back for more! read more

So excited to try in airport! Super fast and yummy. They are a little more expensieve than the fountain valley location but just as good. Its located in all the way at the end at terminal C past security near the jamba juice. read more

Located inside Terminal C at John Wayne airport. I love having this option. I will grab a couple of rolls for breakfast before getting on my flight. It's pricier than going to Brodard but expected since it's in the airport. Super tasty, super convenient, and so worth it. read more

Love flying out of SNA bc of this place. Great service, Vietnamese food and the bake goods are awesome

Banh mi is SO good although it doesnt travel well. Eat in! Obviously they are famous for their rolls. Can't believe food this good is in the airport. Service and ambiance are what u would expect in an airport. read more

If you are hungry at the John Wayne airport between terminal B & C. You must eat here. If it's before your flight in the morning. Order the Breakfast Banh Mi, it's the best breakfast sandwhich in the airport. The French roll they use is so fresh, soft and crispy and the pork is so delicious you will want to eat this everyday, but you can't. you can only eat it when you fly out of SNA. :( I wish there was one of these by my house. Anyhow they have a cold jasmine tee with lychee.. also very good, I still have to try the rib eye banh mi or shrimp banh mi, but the pork banh mi is so delicious I don't want to take a chance. I believe they also have a lychee beer that is so refreshing. The best thing is that when you get back to SNA, you can eat here again for lunch or dinner but they open at 7am and close at 7pm so if you are lucky don't miss out on this place. I have admirals club access that offers light breakfast for free, but I can't get this sandwich off my mind. I wish I was a cow with 4 stomachs so that I can eat 1 of each sandwich. but I'm not a cow. read more

Stuck at airport due to delayed flight so looking for grubs. You can scan the QR code and order or get in line. Line moved quickly as I was indecisive about what to eat. It's located in the food court so there are some tables around and noise is average. House vermicelli: comes with egg roll, grilled pork, shrimp, vermicelli, veggies and pickled veggies. 5 stars delicious for airport food. The pork and shrimp were seasoned well and the fish sauce had flavor. I would eat this again anytime. Veggie Banh mi: filled with eggplant and the regular veggies that accompany Viet sandwiches. 4 stars per hubby. But he pointed out that the bread was fresh and devour it so I couldn't even get a taste. Chicken dumpling: 5 stars per my little one who is always picky about food. Noodles with egg rolls: my daughter enjoyed the meal. 4 stars per her feedback. She said she would order it again. Same as my house special bowl but only with egg rolls. No food pics because we were so hungry, we devoured the food. read more

Brodard Express is located in Terminal B, next to Gate 13. John Wayne is a very small airport (there's a total of 22 Gates, all in a row) and 3 Terminals. Their hours are 7:30AM-6:30PM; plan accordingly! I wanted to see what the hype was and was very pleased to see that there was someone on site making the fresh spring rolls. Their prices for 2 spring rolls is $8.95+tax. Definitely airport prices, but they are paying airport rent and we are also paying for convenience. I had the nem nuong spring too and the fresh shrimp. Both were super fresh. The nem nuong seemed to have extra crunchy egg roll in it (definitely didn't mind) and the fresh shrimp rolls seemed to be heavier on the rice noodles (at least relative to my preference) and the shrimp was amazingly fresh. Only downside is that they weren't individually wrapped in plastic to keep from drying out. This isn't a problem if you're eating them fresh at the airport or shortly thereafter. I was thinking though that it would not travel well if you're thinking of gifting them. They also had rice noodle bowls, an assortment of pastries and macarons. Excited to have another place closer to home to get these delicious treats!

Located in terminal B/C near gate 13, I was pleasantly surprised that Brodard Express opened up as a food option inside SNA. This adds a variety of quality food aside from typical airport fast food. It has similar items to its restaurant counterpart (vermicelli, rice bowls, spring rolls, banh mi). They have a QR code to order ahead which is also convenient considering the line can get busy. I ordered the house special rice bowl and nem nuongs. Price wise, I think it's fair/worth it considering how airport food is overly priced. The food came out quick and the service is fast. There are a couple of tables and seats in front of the stand to sit and eat while waiting to board. This spot will definitely be my go-to at John Wayne! read more

Our favorite place to eat in John Wayne Airport! The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is always consistently amazing, and the menu is diverse. Our favorites are the Ribeye Bahn Mi sandwich and the Pork vermicelli bowl. The pastries, specialty drinks, and fresh bread are also must haves! My favorite airport snack is a fresh baguette roll and butter. They also recently got new chairs and table in the dining area which are very comfortable and much nicer than the ones they had here previously. read more

Unbelievably fresh for an airport restaurant!! Edamame dumplings 10/10, chicken banh mi 10/10, and asparagus tofu rice paper rolls were soooo cold and crunchy!! And they were super quick and friendly. Good portions as well :) read more

Grilled pork is juicy & a bit salty. The fish sauce is good. I like the salad too. Good service. The staff are super friendly.

I did not expect this place to good, being inside an airport and all. But these are really good Bahn Mis. I tried the chicken, pork, and beef ones. Pork and beef are both top tier. The chicken one is bad though, so don't get that one. They also have boba drinks. Thai tea is really good, but I thought whatever tea they use for the milk tea is a little strange. Food comes out pretty fast and the server was nice. read more

Located in terminal B/C by Gate 13, this place is a great addition to the airport food scene. SNA doesn't have many dining options, so I would Brodard's is probably the best. I got excited to hear that they opened one inside the airport cause now I don't have to drive to Fountain Valley to get my fix! The Grilled Pork Spring roll "Nem Nuong" is the classic go-to, but you get less compared to what the restaurant offers. However, you get the same rolls and price for the Ribeye Spring Rolls which are also good because it comes with a cilantro lemongrass sauce. The service here is quick if you're ordering a spring roll cause they're already made in advance, so it's ready to-go. If you order a rice bowl or banh mi, it might take about 10-15 mins. If you were to choose one, I'd choose the banh mi cause they don't offer that at the restaurant. We tried the rib eye banh mi when we landed and it was great! Nice crunch, tender meat, lots of flavor, and still warm! Definitely stopping by here before heading out of town again. read more

Probably the only good airport option but then again I haven't tried any other places that aren't fast food haha. When I flew to John Wayne in January, I got the pork spring rolls and they still hit the same in the airport and at the regular restaurant. I just traveled for spring break and went back to Brodard: I don't really recommend the chicken banh mi. It was just lacking in flavor and $16 for a banh mi is kind of a lot but I get that it's the airport markup price. I've also had better in general but it is an easy meal for on the go and at least the chicken pieces were tender. The shrimp spring rolls are the same as the banh mi: meh. Next time I would just stick with the pork spring rolls or maybe try a vermecelli bowl instead. read more

Was very excited for the opening of this at the airport as I am a huge fan of their nem nuong cuon. But there are several things that will need to be adjusted here. Their nem nuong cuon is still decent but the sauce at this location does not equate to the heavenly bliss at their other locations. There's not a great value here... I'm a small Asian girl, I'm still feeling pretty hungry after 2 rolls for lunch I must say though, the pate chaud is a great tasty pastry snack. Bottom line: keep your standards lower , and this will just have to suffice for a brodards craving read more

I appreciate that this choice is available at SNA. The food was good. I ordered via the app which made the service faster. I will return the next time I'm at SNA. read more
