No-frills comfort food for the soul! I love the taste of earthy bamboo swimming in a savory duck broth. The soup is flavorful yet surprisingly light. My go-to order is the Bamboo Glass Vermicelli Soup with Duck Salad. Both meat options of leg or breast with wings are juicy and tender. For the adventurous, I recommend adding the duck innards for a fun little texture roulette. They might be an acquired taste, but dipping them in the gingery sauce helps balance the richness and adds another layer of flavor. Service is quick. If you're looking for a simple, satisfying meal centered around duck, this casual spot is worth a visit. read more

Simply put... DELICIOUS!!! We live in the Temecula area and drove about an hour. We brought my Mom here who has been seeing videos of Thuy Nga coming to eat here with Leon Vu. We were a bit skeptical to take Mom here because she's not a big chicken or duck eater. Wow were we pleasantly surprised of how she ate her entire serving of chicken salad and some of her soup. She absolutely loved it! The broth in the soup was so flavorful and light and not oily at all! I love the bamboo in it but wished there was more of it in the soup. The chicken was DELICIOUS and so was the duck. It did not taste gamey at all, thank goodness. Highly recommend this place for a simple but delicious meal. We can't wait to come back. read more

My mom visited this duck noodle restaurant for the first time today. She tried it and found it delicious, so she bought a portion for me, which included duck salad and duck vermicelli with bamboo shoots. Everything was great. My mom said the restaurant was very crowded when she arrived, but the service was quick and attentive. The prices were also reasonable. I've never liked eating Asian food outside because I'm allergic to MSG, but the food at this restaurant didn't give me any headaches or shortness of breath. Hopefully, my mom and I will come back next week to try all the other dishes before she returns to Canada. read more

Bun Vit Thanh Da - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Bun Vit is a small restaurant...saw the crowd and decide to write my name down to eat. The restaurant is a no-frills spot that's well known for their steamed chicken noodle soup -- there's also a duck version. After sitting and given the menu -- several options all focused on the chicken. Simple food done right. I understood and the food lives up to the hype. The broth is clean, comforting, and full of flavor without being too heavy. The chicken is tender and simple. It's the kind of bowl that feels homemade and satisfying. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so seating can feel a bit tight during busy hours. Parking is also limited, so you might have to circle around or wait for a spot if it's peak time. read more

This is my duck soup for the soul. The broth is clear, fragrant and flavorful. Just a simple broth with vermicelli noodle and bamboo shoots to heal the brokenness from a hards day work. It comes with the tenderest duck meat on a bed of salad on the side. For fresh food, the service is Quick with a capital Q. It's a small family owned restaurant with just enough room to get people in and out without a long wait. Decor is simple, place is clean and tidy. read more

If you are ever craving Mien (clear noodle soup), you should definitely come here! They basically only sell Mien, Bun (vermicelli rice noodles), and Com (rice) here and you have a choice of getting it with duck (vit) or chicken (ga). Since duck is in the restaurant name, we had to try the duck! We got a Bun Vit and a Mien Vit. The noodles were al dente and the soup was delish! The side salad goi had only cabbage, cilantro and fried shallots. We realized there were a jar of onions on the side you can add in. We really appreciated the fresh onions and fresh chili paste as condiments. The fish sauce was seasoned perfectly-- right amount of umami, sweetness and acidity! I brought my mother who is picky with Vietnamese food, and she praised their fish sauce and the freshness of the duck, as well as the duck being cooked perfectly! We will definitely come back! read more

Just wanted to write a quick update on my to-go experience. I ordered #8. Grilled/Steamed Rice with Duck Salad with leg meat ($16.99) and it was packed very well. Nothing was leaking and everything still tasted fresh after a 40 minute ride home. Ordering over the phone was slightly challenging due to the language barrier. But it worked out in the end. The parking lot here is so frustrating if you don't come early on the morning because its so limited. read more

This place absolutely blew me away. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food. We ordered congee with duck breast as well as chicken breast, and it was prepared very well. They had a ginger sauce that was kind of sweet and kind of savory at the same time! I felt like I could drink the sauce because of how good it was. The duck breast was very juicy very tender and not dry at all. It had so much flavor in it and I really wanted more after I was done with it. They also had a rice plate version with the duck breast. On the rice plate, they had some pickled veggies and I ate that all up. The price of everything was very reasonable to me. I didn't think it was out of the ordinary at all. I believe everything was around like $15-$20 so not too crazy to ask for. The service was also very great. The bathrooms were clean. The interior of the restaurant was very clean as well. The parking was also not hard to advocate. There was enough parking for the time that we went there, which was around noon. I think this place is located near Seafood Cove 2. so the location is great because there's a few other restaurants to check out and many other drinks places to check out too! read more

This place needs improvements on service, especially the girl with long hair behind the counter. She looks so grumpy and not friendly when i asked a question. If you're the owner i suggest you change your attitude towards customers. There are many restaurants in the area. The noodles were meh, nothing special. If you want good service and good food...go somewhere else. read more

came here after seeing a review on tiktok and wanted to try it out, my family and I got the porridge with duck salad and also the rice plate with chicken salad. We really enjoyed the food and that everything was flavored pretty well and portions were fair. I enjoyed the fact that the salad was also dressed on the bottom of the duck. It wasn't just plain vegetables. You also get free ice or hot tea when you dine in. Overall, I would definitely come back. I enjoyed the food and they also cut the meats in a way that's easy to eat. Service was quick, and all of the orders were made correctly, ambience is updated and clean inside. Ample parking is available in the lot read more

There isn't many tables inside and that is why it's easy to get a long queue outside waiting for the table. I stopped by on a weekday evening and it isn't crowded but the servers seem very busy running back and forth. The foods are solid and the portions are great. I would recommend ordering half a duck (which will get you complimentary salad) then just order two or three bowls of noodles depending on your party size, rather than get an individual for everyone. When you order half a duck, they seem to put various parts of the duck so it gets more diverse. Keep in mind that they charge a dollar each for the extra fish sauce. read more

Bun Vit Thanh Da. They specialize in all kinds of duck meat. I'm not too crazy about duck so I ordered the glass noodles with chicken and bamboo shoots. It was served piping and very delicious. I requested chicken breast with no skin and they did it exactly as ordered. The chicken was nice and juicy and not dry at all. It also comes with a side order of cabbage and ginger fish sauce. Everything was so good. There was a long line at the door though so be prepared to wait for a bit. Will be back soon with the family. read more

Bun Vit Thanh Da is a solid go-to spot if you're craving bun and chao vit/ga. You can really tell the duck and chicken are fresh. The meat comes out tender, juicy, and full of flavor, not dry at all. The nuoc mam dipping sauce is perfectly balanced, not overly salty or sweet, which makes each bite even better. And the chao vit is delicious, comforting, savory, and done just right. Simple menu, well executed dishes, and quality ingredients. Definitely a popular spot for a reason. Will be back when the bun + chao vit craving hits again. read more

I ordered 1 Bun Mang, 1 Mien, and 2 duck breasts. The food came out quickly, but the duck slices were a bit thick and slightly chewy.

First time having Vietnamese duck! Think Hainan Chicken but with duck and fish sauce. We ordered to go. If you don't like the duck flavor, this may not be for you. It is simply boiled duck. It comes with fish sauce, vinegar, chiles, fried onions, some herbs, and salad. Also got the grilled rice which is basically seasoned oil rice similar to hainan chicken rice. So good with the innards sauce. And a side of bamboo shoots and soup. The duck and salad costs $60! Not bad for a whole duck and all the sauces, condiments, and salad. Rice with innard sauce is 3.99. Bamboo shoot is $5. You can also get the salad by itself and a side of more duck if you like. I didn't try the side of duck innards cuz I'm not a huge fan but that's also an option. Ordered on phone and easy pickup. Kind workers spoke both Vietnamese and English. The restaurant is a small shop with modern interior. They fit lots of seats in the small dining area. read more

Duck Noodle Soup is rare in the US. As a fan of Duck Noodle Soup, I am always on the lookout for a restaurant serving this wonderful dish. I was lucky to stumble upon Bun Vit Thanh Da while looking for a noodle cafe in Westminster last weekend. I was there mid-afternoon and noticed it was quite busy but not packed, a good sign that the place is still popular and a good time of day to get a seat to dine in. Here's my review of the dishes I ordered. Duck (Rice) Noodle Soup - 4/5. Obviously, we ordered the signature dish, which comes in three parts: a plate of duck meat, a bowl of duck soup with rice noodles, and a small bowl of dipping sauce. The duck meat is served on a bed of cabbage, garnished with peanuts and fried shallots, on a separate plate. The duck has bones still intact and is boiled. No knives and forks, you have to eat them Asian style with chopsticks and your hands.  Duck meat has a good texture and is tender; it wasn't overcooked or tough. Taste-wise, I thought it lost some of its flavor, but I am nitpicking here. Overall, the meat is good. They use good-quality noodles that taste fresh and are properly cooked to the right texture. The duck soup is well-balanced, clear, and clean, with flavors of duck, fish sauce, and light spices. My only gripe with the soup is that it doesn't have enough duck stock. I thought a more meaty flavor would undoubtedly enhance the soup. Then there's the dipping sauce made with fish sauce and what appears to be duck fat/meat juice. Tip: add fresh red chillies to the jug on each table for the dipping sauce; the condiment really takes the sauce to the next level. Duck congee - 5/5. This is the congee with the same consistency as the Cantonese congee. It has a duck flavor that adds savory depth without overpowering the dish. The dish is garnished with generous portions of fried shallots, cilantro, and ginger strips. A good hearty congee that complements the duck meat. read more

Bun Vit Thanh Da always comes through! It's normally packed but recently, this place has been blowing up, so keep in mind that there's usually a line since there's limited seating on the inside. I always get the chao goi ga (porridge+chicken+salad) and it always taste soo good and hearty. If anything, it's been even better despite how busy they are. I'm currently under the weather, so this meal was perfect to warm me up. don't sleep on their chicken dishes!! read more

You know a restaurant is legit when they only sell 2 things. They serve duck or chicken, accompanied by your choice of rice noodles soup, glass noodles soup, or rice. I was craving something healthy, high protein, and warm, and this was the perfect choice. The restaurant is tiny and it was full on a Saturday 12pm. We had to wait 15 minutes. I tried both the duck and chicken. Both were flavorful on their own but even better with the dipping sauce. The salad underneath the duck/chicken gave it a refreshing touch. The soup was so comforting and aromatic. I can drink it everyday. I will definitely be back! read more

The duck meat paired with the salad is soo good, I think next time I'm just gonna order that alone. The duck meat is really tender. I really like the the broth of the soup, my only issue is with the glass noodles, it tasted more like vermicelli, as it had a bite that I'm not fond of, I'd much rather have a glass noodles that is soft and has a lil chewy texture, if you're like me and like soft noodles maybe opt for the rice noodles instead. Unless they change the glass noodles then I can see myself getting it again. :) other than that I'm so happy I tried this place with my mom. The smell of duck was a little overwhelming at first but after sitting inside for a while I was over it. The service is whatever as it took them a while to notice we didn't have menus. However, my reviews are mainly focused on the food. So five stars from me!! read more

I'm not a duck person but I have to say that if you are, you will enjoy this. The broth was top tier, glass noodles were chewy, the salad was well seasoned, the meat was quite tender. If I liked duck, this would be heaven. Why did I go if I don't like duck? I went for the broth since that was an option. The full plate is my dad's and I obviously stole some of his and took a picture of his meal for the aesthetic. read more

During the Grand Opening, everything was good. The food was tasty, and portions were proportionate. We came here to enjoy Bun Vit Sao Mang and Goi Vit almost every month. The recent visit was on Valentine's Day. I never expected a huge disappointment. The taste of the food was really a turn-off. The quality of the food was not as great as it used to be. The portion of food was much smaller compared to Quan Vit Vit Vit, which is located on the corner of Brookhurst and McFadden, and behind Banh Mi Che Cali. You should give it a try!!! The prices were increased. The parking lot is absolutely inconvenient. We give up on not eating here anymore. So long. read more

The food was decent for the pricing , I got two glass noodles with duck salad. The soup was rich and the ginger sauce had a lot of ginger which was great. I would say the staff could do better. My mom might have been tongue tied but the server didn't have to be pushy about it and say it in a mean tone.he could have asked for clarification without the attitude. He was in a rush to take our order barely, we barely sat down and was already trying to get the order. Didn't really have a friendly service energy. All in all love the food but the service needs to be worked on read more

Food good. Service good. Ambiance bit loud/crammed. Overall great place for great rice noodle soup w/ bamboo shoots and stir-fried duck on mixed VN style coleslaw salad w/ ginger fish sauce. Can choose duck and/or chicken. Came on holiday weekend Monday around noon and quickly got packed. Quite small and clean place with nice modern interior. A bit shorthanded but staff kept up very well. Came with high expectations because we enjoy duck w/ fish sauce and this type of salad. Ordered duck (dark meat) noodle soup w/ bamboo shoots and duck rice hoi an. Recommend to get the soup over the hoi an rice because hoi an rice was too hard and not crunchy enough for my liking. Their fish sauce is excellent. Great soup options on a cold day. Would come back. read more

The duck here is amazing. I usually get the duck leg with the porridge since every time I go they seem to be sold out of their duck breast. The duck is always cooked perfectly and the porridge is very flavorful. The soup with rice or glass noodles is pretty solid as well. Whether you opt for the porridge or soup it is the perfect comfort meal especially as the weather is getting colder. Service is usually really fast and good. The only thing I'd say is that when we tried to order over the phone their inbox was full so we had to go in person to order to go. If you don't speak Vietnamese it can be a little bit of a challenge so just make sure to double check when you place your order. Can't wait to be back here soon. read more

My bun vit was perfect to me. Tender and not gamey at all duck paired with a warm delicate noodle soup. The hainan chicken with crispy rice was the best I've had in OC. The salad was crunchy and tart enough to balance the duck. ( Tip: you can order any mix of wing, breast, and thigh for your duck salad). The broth was light and flavorful, and the perfect temperature for the cold night I went on. The chicken from the rice dish was even more tender than the duck. It came with a mini papaya salad and a house made pate with made the dish really addicting to eat. Free ice tea and refills too! Might need some effort to flag a server down but they are very nice Note: smaller restaurant and plaza so might be hard to find parking during the day (same plaza as mama hieu) but luckily plenty at night! read more

I've tried this place twice, and the second time was much better than the first. The food was tasty and also very healthy! Plus, the price is quite affordable--I believe it was $18/person before tip. We ordered their number one on the menu. I would definitely come back if I'm craving Bun Vit or Chao Vit. Interestingly, my first visit had great service but mediocre food, while the second visit had excellent food but less impressive service. Still, I highly recommend this restaurant, as it's cleaner than Chao Dem. read more
