    Bun Bo Hue Large
    Kevin He Zhong Q.

    Was craving some Bun Bo Hue today and decided to try a new spot in the area. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Seated right away, didn't have a long line during lunch. Server took the order and a hot bowl of Bun Bo Hue showed up 3 minutes later. The BBH here reminds me of the flavor that my Vietnamese auntie used to make during family gatherings. The broth has strong lemongrass essence and isn't overly rich. If you don't add any condiments, the bowl is good as is. Since it's on the lighter side they provide shrimp paste, satay, fish sauce, chili in fish sauce so can add according to taste. I added a spoonful of satay sauce and it brought the broth to life. Ate some chilis on the side to get some more heat. The meats are all good quality, really enjoy their pork meatball. Service is quick and efficient from ordering to getting the order. Servers were friendly and did a good job. The restaurant was playing some EDM music in the background which was nice, felt lively.

    Came here with my family after a local recommended it, and wow, so glad we tried it! We love Vietnamese food, and everything here was incredibly delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant itself is very clean, spacious, and the service was quick. It has more of a casual, quick-dining feel, but still really comfortable and inviting. I also appreciated how generous they were with the veggies especially the banana leaves, which a lot of places don't even include. It made the experience feel more authentic!! My only small complaint: one of our drinks was about 90% ice and 10% actual drink, which threw off the balance a bit. Definitely recommend if you order a drink day less ice because the ratio is noticeably different. Overall though, it's a great spot and I'll definitely be coming back soon!

    A few friends recommended this place, and I wasn't expecting bun bo hue for dinner, but wow, turns out I actually prefer this soup over pho! I'm still on the hunt for my absolute favorite spot, but after visiting this one, it's officially my new go-to for bun bo hue. The flavors are incredible - the blood doesn't taste irony, the meat is super tender, and the broth is absolutely exquisite. My partner tried the Bánh Canh Tôm Cua Huế, and she's now obsessed,it's officially her new favorite Vietnamese soup! This spot feels really special, and if you're in the area, you definitely gotta give it a shot. Trust me, it's worth the visit and I promise, you won't be disappointed! Great service! Ambiance reminds me of Hoi An but its probably more like the town HUE!

    I got the bun bo hue and it was delicious. The portion size was good with a flavorful broth. The establishment is spacious so it did not take long to get seated. I was able to get my food fairly quickly after ordering with our server.

    We stumbled upon this spot while hanging out at the Asian Garden Mall in celebration of Lunar New Year with the kids. It was a little chilly so we wanted something warm and soupy. I was also craving Banh Canh (which is like an udon noodle soup) but more than just udon lol it's a special Vietnamese noodle dish that is packed with so much umami flavor! Legit one of the best banh canh I have ever had. This spot was busy with locals and the service is quick and nice! My kids and husband ordered the Bun Bo Hue- which the really like but I think it had too much of that umami flavor (the stinky shrimp paste) that's what my kids call it haha but they really liked it minus that extra smell of the shrimp paste. This was my husband's first and he also felt the same as the kids. Welp, I absolutely enjoyed my dish and I'd come here again with my kids and husband.

    I was on my way back home from work, and I was craving some Bun Bo Hue. And this place came really recommended by my fellow yelpers. How can you mess up a bowl, that the restaurant is named after? So after the great reviews, I decided to stop by. The place is bright, clean, and very welcoming. I placed the order to go. And it was $18 for one Bun Bo Hue. But the portion size was very generous, and also a nice amount of vegetables to go. I love that they also give us the shrimp paste with it. As, how would it be authentic without it??! So yah!! :) I would love to come back another time to dine in to try the rest of the menu items. The staff was pretty busy when I got there, but they were still professional and nice. Thank you for a delicious bowl of Bun Bo Hue!

    Good seafoody banh canh $14 No Amex accepted It really hit the spot, I enjoyed the chewy noodles and the thickness of the broth. Broth could use a bit more toppings, but it was very comforting for the price and size. Service Don't expect it lol

    Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue
    Cathleen H.

    The Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue has a thick broth and the noodles are thin-thick. I was expecting a large chunk of crab meat based on how my parents told me the last time they were here but it was only shredded. Lots of mushroom and the crab meatballs are nice. The broth is thick but flavorful and comfy. 7/10 Staff is nice but they did forgot to bring out drinks until after finishing the meal which isn't really a big issue. Lots of seating with cute decor like pumpkins perfect for the fall season. Parking can be tight depending on what time you go.

    The family watches Ghien Bun Bo videos on Instagram and wants to visit this restaurant. I took my family there around 4:10 p.m. There were few customers present at the time, so there was no wait to dine in. We got the Bun Bo Hue, which is beef and pork soup with rice noodles, the Banh Canh Tom Cua Hue, which is special Vietnamese udon soup, the Bun Ca Salmon Va Cha Ca Mang, which is salmon and fishcake noodle soup, and the Mi Quang, which is a special noodle with pork and shrimp. We all ordered little bowls, and when the food arrived at our table, I noticed how small the bowls were. But I was mistaken: the bowls are small, but the food is filling. I got full and couldn't finish the food. So this place isn't too bad; the soups are flavorful, and I'll return to try different foods next time.

    I like a lot of vegetables in my bbh. This place gives a lot

Got the dry seafood noodles, beef stew noodles and deep fried dumplings. The dumplings were alright, it's basically deep fried wonton with pork and shrimp. My usual dry seafood noodles was scrumptious and side soup was packed with lots of seafood. I typically add a load of red vinegar to give a good tang. The beef stew was also really good and meat was tender except the tendon, there's 3 level of spicy however level 1 mild is still very spicy especially for people who don't usually eat spicy.

Mai Phat still exceeded them! It has since become our go-to lunch spot, as well as a local favorite for my wife's family. They specialize in egg noodles - served either dry (with broth and main protein on the side) or wet like a conventional soup bowl. My personal go-to is the dry mì sủi cảo - egg noodles with sliced / ground pork, huge wonton dumplings, a shrimp cracker, and broth on the side. The wontons come in a super rich and delicious sauce that I actually got scolded for pouring over my noodles lol. The light and clear broth is very refreshing and well-seasoned. Excellent mix of perfectly balanced flavors from every component. Add chili crisp for extra oomph. My wife loves the mì gà quay - fried chicken leg & thigh with the signature egg noodles. This is honestly one of the most perfectly seasoned and cooked fried chicken I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of fried chicken. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive Highly recommend Mai Phat for hearty, expertly crafted, and relatively guilt free Vietnamese comfort food

We waited probably around 15 minutes and there were about two or three other parties before us. Be sure to sign in on the notepad. There are a few plastic stools in the front. While you're waiting, they will take your order to add it to the queue for the kitchen. When our turn was up, we were seated at small table for two. I noticed another gentleman by himself at a table for four people. Hmmmm. Anyhow, there were about five tables total inside or maybe six. It was very warm inside since there is no AC. This is a type of life where you eat and leave as quickly because it's a no-frills no ambience type of place. That's fine with me except it was pretty hot. They charge you a dollar for a little tiny paper cup of water. I ordered the number one since this is their specialty or what they're known for. My mom had the bun thit nuong cha gio. My noodle soup had a good amount of crab pieces and shrimp. It seemed like there was not a lot of noodles though. I thought the broth was a little bland. I guess I'm just not a big fan of this type of soup. If there is a next time, I'll try the bun rieu. My mother was not that crazy about her dish. She said she didn't really like the egg rolls that much. For the price, the wait and the taste of the food, I likely will not be returning when there are so many other places in the area. I try to support various mom and pop restaurants, but for the previous stated reasons, I don't think we'll be back.

They have so many other options on the menu like chow fun, hainan chicken, and a ton of other noodle soup dishes.
