    Egg rolls
    Nguyen Ngoc M.

    Was craving Baked Catfish so we decided to come but overall not sure if we would be back First, let's start with the great things: - Friendly servers (one even reminded me not to eat rau răm because I am pregnant) - Spacious, modern and clean Food: - Ordered: ếch xào, portion was really small (the frog legs, they shrunk. Most of the dish was just onions). Super boomed. - Cha gio egg rolls: nothing special, mostly tasted củ sắn? - Cá nướng: maybe because we have had better ca nuong (which was Tay Giang restaurant in North California) so this was just a 5/10. Sauce was too sweet. Cá bị bở, xắn vô bị nát. Expected higher for this but it was a let down. Also, the meal was pretty pricey as well. Wanted to love and to come here as regularly as possible but unfortunately I don't think we will. However, everyone's taste is different so I think other people in Socal would still enjoy this place.

    We came for the catfish and ended up having a lot more. Our server recommended us the date night set for two, which came with an asparagus soup with crab meat, rare steak salad with lime juice, a small baked catfish, and ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious, the soup with a perfect starter, salad tasted fresh, catfish was crispy on the outside and the fish was super soft and yummy, and the vanilla ice cream was the perfect ending. We arrived around 6ish and the place was packed with a long line when we left, so I recommend coming here early if you plan on eating during dinner time! There was plenty of seating inside with a darker ambiance and it was a nice evening overall.

    Salt and pepper shrimp

    Food awesome. Service super friendly. What a beautiful modern Vietnamese restaurant. Came here late on a Friday night with a small group to celebrate. We came specifically for the grilled fish and ended up ordering a few extra dishes like salt and pepper shrimp, beef salad with lime sauce, and hot pot seafood soup, all of which I highly recommend because they were dee.lee.cious. The staff was friendly and accommodating, even when we were the very last customers. If you are reading this, sorry for keeping you late, fam. Really appreciate the great service and awesome food!

    Rare beef delicious
    Nancy Q.

    Feels and tasted high end, but it's very affordable. Such a spacious and beautiful interior, great for a special occasion. However it's still casual which was perfect for our just because lunch. We had the $68 date deal. It included rare beef, soup, catfish, and ice cream. A great deal for a party of 2. It's definitely delicious and filling. The stars are the rare beef which was tender and had lots of herbs, and of course, the catfish. It's what Favori is known for. Sweet crispy skin, tender juicy fish, and tons of green onions and peanuts. We loved it with the fermented fish sauce which had sweet pineapple in it. We also got escargo and filet mignon. The filet was ordered medium rare but came out very well. The staff were very nice to replace it right away. Overall, we enjoyed the meal very much and had a bunch of leftovers to enjoy again. The service was so nice. They checked in us and cleared the empty dishes often. There was plenty of parking in the private lot when we came.

    If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Highly recommend this place for their ca nuong. All the other places are dirty inside and is good ca nuong but sometimes it's fishy from other places. This tasted fresh and clean and no pungent old fish smell. The interior is very modern and clean. The service is fast. Their crab soup I would say is better than the usual Chinese restaurants fish maw soup. They have red vinegar just ask for it for the soup. Their clams omg!! Best clean clams and nice and light broth, I smoother the sauce in my rice. Can't rave about this place enough. They had an amazing special which was date night special for $68 such a good deal. Their fish is still big for small size

    This is one of my favorite restaurants . I've visited many times. I especially love the grilled fish and Bún Chả Hà Nội here. The grilled fish and grilled pork are always delicious, juicy, and never dry. You can really taste the freshness of the food, not something that has been sitting around. The staff are very sweet and friendly. I always give high ratings to places that truly care about customer service. Food can be subjective , some people may find it amazing, while others may feel it doesn't fully match their expectations. Overall, it's not easy these days to find a place that offers both good food and genuinely kind service. Parking is also very convenient since the restaurant is located in a spacious shopping center.

    Bun Thit Nuong
    Alex C.

    First time at this location, and it was a solid experience! I got the Bun Thit Nuong and the pork came out perfectly - nice crisp, hot, and not dry at all. The food came out relatively quickly and the service was good as well. We came on a Monday afternoon and were seated right away. The interior of the restaurant was clean and well-kept. They did play music and it was close to being too loud. Highly recommend!

    I dunno ay...feeling it was a 3, but it could be 4 stars. So I will put 4 for now. The last time i had favori was so long ago. It was at the old location. I was amazed by their banana dessert lol I have been seeing the deal of $38 for their small baked fish. So I been wanting to try it. They didnt have this deal on Sat. Instead, they have the $68 sets. We chose Set A for the baked fish. Set B was hotpot. This deal seemed to be better than the weekday's deal. Set A came with 2 mini asparagus soups, a beef salad plate, a small baked fish, and 2 small ice creams. The veggies, sauces, and rice papers were included. They charged for rice noodles (bun). We asked for extra pickled carrots. There were no extra charges for it. The asparagus soup was delicious. One of the best I had so far. They used real crab meats. I wanted more...lol The beef salad was yummy. I liked that they added pickled celery. I never had before. I wished that they would put less raw onions. Overall, I would order this again. Baked fish was a disappointment!! The flavor was a bit bland. There wasn't even enough green onions. The skin was crunchy, but the fish itself was somewhat mushy. So it was either not that fresh or they overcooked it. Mam nem was good. It kinda saved the fish. Nothing much to say about the ice creams. Tasted like reg vanilla ice cream. Service was very slow. It took a very very long time for the baked fish to arrive. So they prob over baked the fish. Staffs didn't check up on us or anything. We had to try to tag someone for stuff. They have a sign about clean RR. However, it was dirty. One was even clogged. I had to go to a different one and warned this other customer about it. Wouldn't want her to experience what I experienced lol good thang that there were 3 avail. No paper towels. Outside sinks ran out of hand soap. Luckily, inside the rr had hand soap. Prob won't return anytime soon.

    Got the combo at this restaurant. It is so delicious. I loved everything especially the beef salad. I also really like how the soup came in hot pot form The ambiance was nice. It looks very modern and has a feel like you are in a fancy house. The service was good. We got our water refilled fast and also food was brought out fairly fast.

    We came here after seeing an Instagram ad and arrived around 11:08am hoping to try the baked catfish. When we first arrived, the restaurant looked dark and empty, which made us unsure if it was open. My mom was hesitant to go in, but a lady waved us in. Shortly after, the lights were turned on and a server came over to take our order. Other customers began arriving around 11:25am, so it wasn't clear what time they officially open. We ordered the baked catfish special. It came with vegetables, rice paper, and sauce, and the portion was generous--enough for two people. The fish itself was very good: hot, crunchy, and flavorful, and exactly what we were expecting. We also added a side of rice noodles for $3.50. The catfish took about 35 minutes, which was understandable since it seemed freshly prepared. The restaurant is clean, modern, and nicely decorated, with thoughtful touches like wall art and a grandfather clock. Tables and booths were tidy and well-kept. However, the service felt inconsistent. There were 10 tables with diners, 4 servers, but no one checked in on us during the meal, and we had to ask for water refills and additional rice paper and sauce toward the end. Our water glasses were also quite small, which meant frequent refills were needed. There was also a concerning moment during service: a server brought a tray of food and set it on a stand next to us. It was food for the people in the booth in front of me. As he set the food out, server noticed a small dried food speck on one of the sauce dishes. Instead of setting it aside and replacing with fresh dish, he removed the speck with his fingernail and proceeded to serve it to the guests. This was off-putting to observe. Overall, the food was good but the service needs improvement. Our total bill came to $68. With better attention to guests during the meal and more careful food handling, this could easily be a standout dining experience.

    Favori is one of those fine establishments that I feel is a bit overlooked. I'm sure many of the locals know about the restaurant but every time I visit, I feel like there should be more people with a long wait with how amazing the food is, the atmosphere being somewhat sophisticated with a hint of fine-dining. It's definitely a spot to take someone on a date, celebration dinner, or maybe you want a good nutritious meal. Now that my personal introduction is on the table, let's talk about their food! FOOD Tournedos "Favori" Filet mignon with Favori Black Pepper Sauce which is their signature sauce. It's something that once you've had it once, you can't go back. Pairing with the meat will send you to tears on how delicious the 2 are. Not only that, the sauce is just great on pretty much everything on that skillet. Quick tip, scrape some onto your rice! Com Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Filet Mignon with rice) One of the best Shaken Beef dish I've tried in my life. Has the right balance of flavor especially with that sauce. Not sure what it is but dousing the meat just makes it extra flavorful. If you're in the mood for some Shaken Beef, this one is highly recommended! Asparagus soup Actually really good. We ordered just one bowl to try it out and we ended up enjoying it! So I think the next time we'll be ordering the bigger bowl for everyone to share. Nutritious and tasty! OVERALL My girlfriend and I actually have been to the one in Santa Ana? But I believe that one got shut down and now this location is their permanent home. I'm totally fine with that as it falls into place with anything we need to do afterwards that's around the area. Parking lot is decent, I've been here a few times now whether it's day or night, weekday or weekend. If anything you'd have to park in the larger lot. One of my favorite places to eat. We actually came here recently for catfish but no photos unfortunately, maybe next time but that's another fan-favorite and I can understand why. Just have to plan ahead when ordering catfish as that takes about 30mins to prepare so call ahead and let them know! Thank you Favori for the delicious meal, absolutely will be visiting again real soon!

    I rate this establishment, three stars purely based off of how good the food was, but I do want to address the service or the lack of service. We ordered the $150 meal. And to be honest, the food was pretty good. Our meal started with egg rolls, which we're pretty good. They were well fried and great to share. The catfish was well fried and a pretty good size for at least five people to share. I really enjoyed the crab soup with quail eggs. It was my favorite part of the meal. It was definitely very comforting to have. I also really like the beef salad. It was very well flavored and wasn't too chewy. This is definitely a highlight at our table. The fried rice wasn't bad it came with eggs on top, which was pretty good. The table ended with a banana split. It wasn't anything special, but it was a nice dessert to end our meal. We wanted to order two of the $68 specials, but they wouldn't let us. They said that we had to split up our tables and sit on separate sides of the restaurant. Then after we ordered the food came out slowly, but we had to go ask for our own water, the dessert, for boxes, and for the check. It was like they forgot we were there.

    I've been wanting to try this location since they opened and I got the opportunity recently with some friends. They have great specials before 4pm and combination deals. We went with one of their $150 combo deals for three of us and it was more than enough food. We did order a small order of soft shell crab with it. Our combo included a medium size fish, eggrolls, fried rice, some meat, and a banana split. We loved everything. The fish was perfectly cooked and the meat was sweet. The eggrolls there were really good. The fried rice had a lot of flavor and the meat was one of our favorite dishes in the combo deal. The soft shell crab was also excellent. The banana split was a perfect ending to the night. The service was excellent. They brought us everything we asked for. My friends asked for a candle to celebrate my birthday and they were more than happy to bring it out. Oh and they have alcohol here. We shared two bottles of wine. The inside of the restaurant is large and spacious. It's great for small or large parties. They have a semi private room too if you need to book that out for a larger party. And plenty of parking. I recommend if you're looking for a fish wrap spot.

I've seen so many IG reels about this spot and let me just say it did not disappoint! Love at first bite. The wings were hot and spicy! I ordered 4 pcs spicy garlic butter + 4 pcs fish sauce wings. Everything smelled so good! The chicken wings were fried to perfection. I liked the spicy garlic butter a tad bit more cause I like dry rub. Although the fish sauce was yummy as well. Not too fishy but had good flavor. The staff here were very friendly. I would come back!
