    Food Menu as of October 2025

    Not the greatest wings. Chicken tasted kinda old. $15 for 8 wings. Batter was crispy tho. Needed more salt/seasoning

    2.5 stars Came by to have some coffee after our lunch today. Parking: plenty available spots when we came by around 3 PM today. Line: no, so we got out table right after we walked into. There were a lot of folks smoking inside which was tough for non-smokers like us. They should not smoke inside thou... We ordered 'Iced Coffee with condensed milk'. The coffee tasted horrible, and it was served in a tiny glass full of mostly ice cubes. I only could sip a little bit, then left it there until we walked out. Price: too expensive for a horrible coffee.

As we were eating, an older woman came out and gave us 3 complimentary cups. I wasn't sure what it was. I thought maybe yogurt. My mom tried it and it was tofu. A good palette cleanser. The bun bo hue came out and it wasn't spicy at all. Good for my mom and 2 year old daughter. I separated my daughter's portion into the small bowl they provided (without me having to ask) then added chili oil, that was on the table, to my bowl. It was a little bland in my option, but I just added fish sauce and it was good. I think pricing was reasonable and on par with others in the area. This one is walking distance from my house so I'll likely frequent often.

Heftier than your typically spring rolls, they also come with a deliciously warm meat dipping sauce. Brodard Express's menu is quite sizable, with options for small bites with the spring rolls or teas/coffees, or more sizable options like banh mi sandwiches and noodle soups. Ordering is made easy with options for tablet ordering, ordering at the cashier, or ordering ahead of time with a convenient QR code. I don't often fly out of SNA but might just have to more now that I know this is here.

Beyond the bowls, their setup is great if you need options: they have fresh spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, pastries, and drink options featuring Vietnamese coffee and milk teas. I think they even have beer and wine but I can't remember. If you're flying out of SNA and want something fast, fresh, and delicious, do not pass this spot up. Easily one of the best airport meals I've ever had!

We ordered the Hu Tieu Trieu Chau Hoang Thanh and Hu Tieu Hai San, both with egg noodles. The food was amazing, especially for the value. Our two bowls came out to roughly $32 total, and the portions were huge. They're very generous with the protein, noodles, and broth, and honestly, my partner and I probably could have shared one bowl and still been satisfied. The restaurant has a very old-school, no-frills feel where the focus is clearly on the food rather than the decor or having a polished dining room. The service is similarly straightforward and efficient. The staff wasn't overly conversational, but they were kind, attentive when needed, and we had no issues at all. I've seen some reviews mention the service negatively, but that wasn't our experience. Overall, I really enjoyed Trieu Chau Restaurant. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and most importantly, the food is delicious. Definitely a solid spot for Hu Tieu.

It was a hole in the wall kind of restaurant, but over the years business kept growing and they eventually renovated the place and it looks a lot better. Typically when I'm craving a delicious bone broth soup with noodles, this is one of the places I go to. I love the Hu Tieu Nam Vang dac biet with thin rice noodles. The rice noodles are chewy and soaks up the delicious broth with every bite. I also like that this place provides pickled jalapeños and satay chili oil. Another item I often get is the fried crab cake with plum sauce. Thankfully this place is close to home, I can't wait to go back again.

The first thing I noticed was the line. It looked pretty long, but the staff moved through customers incredibly fast. That's usually a good sign that a place is worth the wait, and it definitely was. Don't let the line discourage you--it goes by quickly. The sandwiches are generously loaded with fillings, and the bread is made fresh in-house. I even saw several people leaving with loaves of bread, which says a lot about the quality. I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì, and it was excellent. The vegetables were fresh, the pork was flavorful, and everything came together perfectly. You can also watch the staff prepare the sandwiches through a large glass window, which adds to the experience and lets you see the care that goes into each order. It's easy to see why this has become a local favorite. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, and it was fantastic. It was rich, bold, and exactly what I was hoping for. If you're looking for an authentic bánh mì and a great Vietnamese coffee, THH Sandwiches is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.

There isn't too much seating indoor either.
