    Came here for breakfast with my family and we had a great time. The place was clean, spacious, and service was super quick and nice. We got their BBH and it comes in two different sizes --we found that a small was plenty (everyone who got a large was rolling out by the end haha). Their bowls are filled with lots (and a good variety!) of meat. Broth is flavorful and comforting, but if you want extra flavor, they have mam ruoc and chili oil for you. Super yummy and would definitely come back.

    Authentic Vietnamese food at its best. If you grew up Vietnamese or are someone who really wants to taste what real Viet food tastes like, then this is a good start! They have a lot of the most popular dishes such as Bún Bò Huế and Bò Lúc Lắc (Vietnamese shaking beef that seared or fried with typically , soy and garlic marinated beef! Super delicious. If you like spice, then they can make your bun bo hue pretty spicy if you want. Parking is decent for this busy street, and the restaurant is on the small to more medium side. Family friendly loud ambience. Service was good. Oh, and they have banh canh here, too.

    This is the 2nd time I've come here to rate this restaurant! 1st time , I gave it grace bc it was busy! This time, I've noticed they just don't care about their customers! I ordered Mi Quang... both times my noodles were broken and over cooked! The service .."wait...and wait..." Will not return!

    Ghien Bun Bo. For an Asian spot I thought the service was great. Got us everything we asked for. And I'll say. We pretty demanding. Example extra limes and they brought out a good amount Bbh. It's decent. I did want want bbh flavor but overall it was pretty good. Protein cooked well. Sate on the table Mi Quang also needed more flavor. Wasn't bad. Just not as good as I hoped Next time I'll be back for the banh canh which looked very good.

    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!

    Tiệm rất đẹp, không gian sạch sẽ và tạo cảm giác thoải mái. Bún bò ngon, nước dùng đậm đà, rau ăn kèm rất nhiều và tươi sạch. Nhân viên phục vụ chuyên nghiệp, nhanh gọn lẹ . Đồ ăn lên rất nhanh dù quán khá đông. Trải nghiệm rất hài lòng, mình chấm 10/10 và chắc chắn sẽ quay lại để thử thêm những món khác!

    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.

    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!

    Banh canh
    Thidah U.

    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.

    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 interior is quite spacious, with vibrant yellow and green chairs that create a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a Vietnamese café. We ordered the Mango Chè and Thai Chè. The Mango Chè leaned more toward a smooth mango purée with fewer fresh mango cubes than expected, while the Thai Chè was exactly what I had hoped for. One thoughtful touch was the presentation--the ice was served separately, allowing the dessert portion to remain generous without being diluted or taking up space in the bowl. The only downside was the seating area along the side wall. Several of the seat cushions appeared quite worn and noticeably dirty, which detracted from the overall dining experience.

Soft jazz music played throughout the café, creating a peaceful ambiance that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the space. One of my favorite things about this café was the variety of drinks available. There were so many interesting options to choose from, and I decided to try the Sakura Latte. It was beautifully presented and had a delicate floral flavor that was both unique and refreshing. You can tell that a lot of thought goes into both the taste and presentation of the drinks. The dessert display was equally impressive. The cake case was filled with a variety of beautiful, aesthetic-looking cakes and pastries that immediately caught my attention. Everything looked carefully crafted and almost too pretty to eat. Even if you're not planning on ordering dessert, it's worth taking a look at the display because it's truly eye-catching. The café is also incredibly photogenic. There are plenty of aesthetic corners, cute décor elements, and picture-perfect spots throughout the space, making it great for Instagram photos. The combination of natural lighting and tasteful interior design creates a welcoming environment that's both stylish and comfortable. They also offer a 30% off student discount which is so generous! I appreciate the friendly service and letting me know about the discount :) Overall, this café is a great place to study, work remotely, catch up with friends, or simply unwind with a drink and dessert. Between the smooth jazz music, wide selection of beverages, beautiful cakes, Instagram-worthy interior, and generous student discount, it's definitely a spot I'll be returning to again.

    This is by far my favorite Yummy location out of all of them…read more The restaurant is always super clean, efficient, and true to its name--everything is fresh and, of course, delicious. The owner clearly holds this location to a high standard, especially compared to the Bolsa locations. I haven't ordered a single item that wasn't fresh, although it may help that I usually stop by right when they open. What really stands out is how much the staff cares about the customer experience. They're friendly, work efficiently, and get your food out quickly so you can get on with your day. The prices are fair, especially considering inflation as of July 2026. My usual order is four bánh bao and a chè for a snack, which comes to about $17.95. This location is also very convenient if you're heading northbound on Brookhurst, which is my usual route to work. Parking can be a little tricky, but customers are in and out pretty quickly, so it's usually not a problem. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. Their bánh mì heo quay is also really good! My only suggestion would be to add a little more pickled carrot and daikon to the sandwiches. Other than that, this place is an easy 5 stars.

It's a bit more on the bitter side compared to other coffee shops, but paired with the foam, it balances out! If I visit again, I'd like to try one of the desserts or banh bao! There's some seating inside and outside the bakery. During the time I went, there were a lot of customers, and all the seats were taken! The place is good for a quick in and out stop, but not sure if it's the optimal place to sit and chit-chat.
