My friends and I decided to come to this restaurant for their Bo Ne! I ordered the Bo Ne Sauce Nam while my other friends ordered other Bo Ne dishes. Luckily, it happened to be happy hour specifically for the dish I ordered, so it was $13! The dish itself was good! The sauce was creamy (the eggs made it even creamier), and dipping my fresh baguette into it was soooo yummy! I added chili oil to it though for some spice. Delicious! The side of "salad" (a small plate of lettuce and tomato slices) was also nice to have. I ate it with a lot of the pickled garlic. Definitely a filling meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a lot of seating, but it can get a bit warm. We were seated near the door but were feeling the heat throughout our meal! I don't think the AC was on, and there were no fans for air circulation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Props to the workers for working in a warm environment! read more

Long time diner, first time reviewer. I've always loved Grandpa's Kitchen, maybe because of the sweet name that makes me think of my own grandpa. They have one of the best egg noodle soups around. The broth is perfectly balanced and well seasoned, the egg noodle is well made, with generous toppings. The dry version of the egg noodle is equally delicious. You can't go wrong with either selection. I'm always surprised at their affordable prices. These days you can't really get a good bowl of noodle soup for under $18-$20. Here you can get a solid bowl for just $8 during happy hour! Whaaat?! Crazy! That is such a great price that I almost feel like I'm robbing them. LOL. During this recent visit, I wasn't too hungry so I just got a small bowl of wonton soup for just $7. It comes with 5 pieces of wontons. The only disappointing thing was that it doesn't come with one of my favorite toppings - tóc mỡ. It would've cost $2 to add it. I really wish they did include it. I also got some grilled pork skewers. Though a little soft, they were pretty delicious - nicely seasoned, flavorful, and make a great appetizer. I also love that they're open late - till 11PM! read more

Big portion!! Grandpapi is here for you in this economy!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has a couple of bigger tables (4 seater) if you want to come here with family, quite chill, 3% surcharge on credit card, decent plaza parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service chill, can pay at register in the front, like typical viet restaraunt where they kinda leave you to it. The Grandpa's noodles was good (a dryer noodle), great portion, meat was tender, the radish cube looking things was crispy bits of pork skin. The menu is unique here and mostly in vietnamese. I think I had wished for some sauce to go with the noodles (but I understand its mostly with the soup on the side), good tightness of the meatballs :D... They have the classic condiments on the side, the pickled garlic isn't very crunchy and kind of on the sweet side, the pickled chili does have that slight acidic kick that works well. I modified my noodle to egg for a dollar. The soup was good, on the more umami soy/beef side than clear. The wontons were abundant too, instead of a chili oil the sauce is more like a tangy sweet chili vinegrette thing. My accompaniment got a garlic noodle soup (fried garlic oil) that was rich and also in a huge bowl. For the price and portion its a hidden gem for someone who needs to feed a family. Not like gourmet, but good enough! Omg, also I missed the corn milk :(( read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant but they're very busy on a weekend so I popped in on a weekday and loved it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not busy at all, nice and quiet, great service of course since it wasn't busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered grandma's dry egg noodles and they have one of the best dry noodles I've ever had since moving to OC. They put the perfect amount of sauce, some places don't have enough sauce for the noodles. Also had plenty of protein. I added an order of wonton's which is an additional charge but well worth it. The broth on the side is so refreshing! What I love most is that this restaurant is still very affordable, $10.99 for a bowl of dry noodles is amazing. Definitely a returning customer! read more

I found another hidden gem Vietnamese spot!! All noodle dishes are $9.99 all day which honestly feels rare these days. After 5PM, they also offer additional items for $3.99, $4.99, $8.99, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went on a weekday around 2PM and it was packed, mostly Vietnamese customers, which is always a great sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seating; we sat outside and it was really nice in the sun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Noodles come with pho by default (no extra charge). Switching to egg noodles or another type is +$1. They also bring a complimentary plate of bean sprouts (you can ask them to blanch it). I ordered #7 - Waterfall Crispy Chicken Dry Noodle. The chicken leg was huge with crispy skin. The meat was slightly dry, but still tasty overall, and for $9.99, no complaints. My friend got #1 - Grandpa's Dry Rice Noodle and #10 - Seafood Dry Egg Noodle. Portions were generous, and all dry noodles come with soup on the side. #1 had meatballs in the soup; the others didn't, but the broth was flavorful. Great value for a solid bowl of Vietnamese noodles and I'll be back when I'm craving something affordable and filling. *Heads-up: 1. The intersection is super busy. If front parking is full, there's more in the back. 2. They charge a credit card fee, so bring cash. 3. Service can be a little slow when it gets busy, but the staff is still friendly.

There is a lot of parking outside and we were quickly seated after entering. We ordered ốc hương bơ tỏi, hột vịt lộn xào me, khoai tây lốc xoáy (flower snail with garlic butter, balut with tamarind sauce and a tornado potato). I thought they did a great job with the tamarind sauce and butter garlic. We spent $29 for the three dishes. I wish we had a bit more portion wise. I'm not sure if I would ever come back. I'm okay with visiting here only once. read more

Extremely affordable menu items, especially when visiting during the gap of hour of their sizzling beef. Most dishes are for $9.99 which is definitely hard to beat within the area.

I'm in Garden Grove with the family and need to find something good at an affordable price. I found Grandpa's Kitchen - Grill Bar 168. I've come to this plaza several times and was unaware that the restaurant was there. When my family and I went to the restaurant, it was fairly empty, with only one or two tables with customers. My first impression was that no service member assisted us; I noticed a staff person eating at the first table and did not even attempt to welcome us in. So I asked the staff worker if we could just get the table ourselves or if someone would help us get it. Then she got up and brought us to the table. When we were ready to order, one of the staff members came to assist us. He took all of our orders, and they even have stir-fried snails available after 5:00 p.m. He's courteous enough to ask the chef if we can get it before 5:00 p.m. We ordered stir-fried flower snails and Tiger Moon Snails. Thank you to the staff member (with earring, sorry I don't know his name) who assisted us. He's the only one who took care of us. The majority of the workers just don't greet to the customers and provide no service at all. Overall, the food is good and delicious; we enjoyed every dish we ordered. If you don't mind no service, only delicious food. This is definitely the place for you. read more

I ordered the Waterfall Fried Chicken to-go, and usually it's good, but this time it seems as if they gave me an over cooked chicken that had been sitting around waiting to be thrown away.

Passed by this place many times but never try. Finally decided to give them a try. Plenty of parking here. Came in on a late afternoon for lunch. The place is clean and nice. The staffs were friendly and welcoming. We ordered the followings: - Chicken Wings - Bánh Mì Xíu Mại The Chicken Wings were very good, had the right amount of flavor and not oily at all. We liked it. The Bánh Mì Xíu Mại sizzling plate was good. The Xíu Mại was soft and tasty. Goes well with the Bánh Mì. The sauce/gravy was alright. The raw eggs was a little iffy. I had stomach pain the next day. Not sure if it was these raw eggs that I ate. Overall we like it. They have a good selection of items for just $9.99. I would definitely come back in the future to try those. read more

WHOA and DELICIOUS! Finally got to try this joint out, lines was always long but I got lucky on a Saturday afternoon. Parking can be a little tricky, be patient. Greeted right away when we enter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was cool, the lighting made me feel cozy and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shown to our tables in seconds. Menu is pretty simple, I went with the Bo ne. Food didn't take long at all, before you know it the table was filled. First bite was all it takes, you know what happens next :) All in all, a must try! Food was amazing, prices is great and service on point. read more

I was craving Hu tieu kho allll weekend and heard good things about grandpas kitchen so we decided to make the drive to OC over the weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was bustling on a Sunday afternoon which is typically a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Hu tieu kho ga and waterfall chicken rice plate. We waited for about 15 minutes before our food arrived. The chicken was served with a side of a sweet soy (pro tip: add chili oil) Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the Hu tieu kho. The chicken was so overcooked and dry while the Hu tieu stuck together in a clump, was undercooked and tasted like a flavorless salt bomb :( hoping we just came on an off day since they were so busy. read more

Their $9.99 all day, every day entrees menu is quite extensive automatically making the eatery very appealing. We went back in Sep 2025 but the restaurant still runs the special pricing apparently. I'm honestly not sure how they continue to subsist, but whose to complain when such an amazing deal exists. They are known for their dry noodle "hu tieu" glass noodle bowls. Strangely, the restaurant used to be called that, but they are now Grandpa's Kitchen - "Grill Bar 168". I ordered the #1 Grandpa's Dry Noodle which came with special sauce, steak, flank, and meatball with soup on the side. Despite the pricing, the bowl was full sized, meat helping quite large. The meat perhaps wasn't the best quality (a little chewy), but the combination, multitude of ingredients, and yummy soup on the side easily made up for it. While the #1 was fantastic, the #7 Waterfall Crispy Chicken Dry Noodle, while HUGE, was very dry. The waterfall process of frying definitely made the skin EXTRA crispy, the bubbling apparent, but perhaps it was overdone because of the dryness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Special pricing does bring the crowds, therefore it was bustling when we went around noon, but tables turned over quickly which allowed us to sit somewhat quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was a little slow to start, but prompt once they made it to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was HOT inside. Enough people complained so they did finally turned on the AC, but pretty much after we were done eating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I guess they were trying to cut costs and/ or make up for the super cheap pricing. A sweet deal to find out about and pretty good for the price. That being said, if it were priced more, I wouldn't recommend seeking it out. Stick to the $9.99 menu though and you'll be happy! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Suggestions: Ask for disposal chopsticks After reading all great reviews, I have decided to give this restaurant a try. I arrive at dinner time and surprised to see their outdoor seating which reminds me of my home town. Restaurant was pretty busy but order came out very quick. Menu is still $9.99. The portion and taste did not disappoint. I ordered grandpa dry egg noodles, seafood egg noodles and 3 pieces of grill meat for $8.99 (I don't think it's worth it.) Grandpa noodles was cook just right. Taste was great but the soup was a bit too much MSG. I do not recommend grill menu, the portion was small. Their reusable chop sticks need to get throw away. Some of the chop sticks top coating are gone and kind of sticky. I tried to get replacement and it was the same thing. I didn't think of asking for disposal chopsticks. Also tried their salted plum kumquat tea. I wanted more plum taste but i tasted more kumquat (taste like orange with a bit of bitterness). The drink was a little sweet for me but when the ice melted, it was ok. Overall it was a good value and great taste. I will definitely be back. read more

Unassuming little place in a strip mall with delicious homey Vietnamese food. I would've never come across this place if I didn't search directly for banh mi chao. We ordered the banh mi chao and the grandma's noodles. The banh mi chao is the best I've had in the area. The steak is well seasoned and tender, and the sauce is packed with flavor. I made sure to soak up every last bit with the bread. The grandma's dry noodles came in a huge bowl. The pork and sauce were both flavorful. It tasted even better after I added the pickles and chili oil on the table. The noodles come with a side soup. It was a little heavy on the MSG in my opinion, but a little MSG never hurt nobody so it's fine with me. Both dishes came out fairly fast. We were in and out within 20 minutes. read more

I've been here a few times with my family because the food is just so cheap and delicious. I always get the mì khô bà ngoại, or the Grandma's Dry Egg Noodle. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweet and savory, and they are very generous with their meat portions which I appreciate as someone who cares for protein. The soup that it comes with is pretty standard but complements the dry noodle so well! For only $10, I think it's worth it, especially since I usually only eat about half and am able to take the rest home as leftovers. The service is always really quick when I go. It tends to get really crowded later in the night, so anticipate a wait. Usually if I go before 6/7pm I'm able to be seated right away. The inside is really nicely decorated with cute lights. It's a pretty small and cozy restaurant. My parents and grandparents also love it here and they're really picky when it comes to Viet food! I will definitely be back to continue trying the rest of their dishes, especially on the $10 menu! read more

Tucked in a plaza where parking can be challenging when packed. Ordered the #14 soup with sliced pork, cubes pork, and meatballs. Soup temperature is perfectly served piping hot although I had to deduct one star for the heavy usage of MSG. Broth was flavorful and was elevated when adding their chili oil from table side. Portions - Definitely generous with the servings of pork which felt almost never ending. Meatballs were tiny but packed with enough protein. Pros - You get a lot of broth which you can potentially pack some home.

Came on a Thursday night to finally try this place close to our house since we pass by it a lot. There were about 3 groups of people dining in when we arrived. Was seated right away but it took us a little bit of time deciding what to order. Our server was this young man, he was quick and attentive. People kept coming the whole time we were dining. Definitely wanted to try the snail so we got the Flower one with butter and garlic. It came with corn kernels and about 9 pieces of snail. It wasn't as tender as i'd like it to be. Had the popcorn chicken, it was ok. Nothing special to it. My main meal was the sizzling fried rice cake, egg and fried pork. I was confused for a second because i couldn't find the pork in it. It was chopped into probably 10 tiny pieces. It came with a dipping sauce, it was alright. My husband had Grandma's dry egg noodle with a broth on the side. Now that was tasty. Noodles were a good portion and cooked nicely. Slices of beef were not skimped and there were a few tiny pieces of fried pork in it too. Maybe they use it for added flavoring. I enjoyed having it with fresh lettuce and bean sprouts. We spent about $50 for everything, their menu is definitely inexpensive. Now we don't have to wonder about this place anymore. read more

I came in for the Sweet Corn Milk BOGO & the cashier already told me they ran out, I asked further & he said an hour ago. So I decided to try an OC entree for $9.99. I picked the Sò Lông Nướng Mỡ Hành & it was really good. But then I felt something hard when I was chewing & I think I chipped part of my tooth - I'm going to go home & have my boyfriend check it for me & I'll attach the photo of my chipped tooth. Anyway, I have a crown cap so I wasn't super alarmed, but still a bit shook. I still finished my food but I politely tried to let one of the cashiers know. I showed him & everything & he was apologetic & asked what they could do to fix the situation. So I asked for a refund. And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer.

Hey HUY , I had no problem with your staff seating other guests at the high table because I didn't need that table. However, what you stated was incorrect, those guests did not briefly step out to get the rest of their party. It was only two people. They were seated without putting their name on the waitlist, and they even looked at us awkwardly and shyly. I don't believe anyone actually reviewed the footage. It feels like you simply relied on what the staff said. I was there, waiting and observing everything, which is exactly why I decided to leave. Maybe focus on training your staff better instead of sitting here arguing with your guests!! ----- We came tonight and saw two empty tables. We were told they were reserved and were asked to put our name on the waitlist. While we waited, we noticed other people being seated at those tables. Staff told some guests to join the waitlist, but at one point, a couple walked in, sat down at one of the tables, and no one said anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were waiting with a crying baby, and after seeing that happen, we decided to leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If those tables were truly reserved, the process should be managed more consistently instead of making guests wait while others get seated. Very disappointing experience. And shame on the couple who skipped the line and sat down without waiting. We won't be coming back!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Edit: Did you really check your footage? The empty tables I'm referring to were the two low tables right next to the door, not the high tables. Of course I know high tables aren't suitable for a high chair!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have to say, their bo ne and their dry noodles here are so good. I would come back for it! read more

Tried to give Grandpa's Kitchen another shot, since we thought maybe last time was a one-off day with the dry chicken, but unfortunately it still was an ongoing issue. We ordered the waterfall chicken dry noodles and waterfall chicken rice again, but this time for take out since the wait was long. The chicken was extremely dry in both dishes, the same as when we dined in. The portions seem a bit less in the takeout containers than when we dined in (less veggies, less noodles, less rice). For $10 a dish, this place still is a great deal, but honestly we don't think we will be coming back - the chicken was literally so dry that it hurt our jaws to chew it...The wait can get long and parking in the lot is limited, so try to go during non-peak hours. read more

The Soup Egg Noodle and Dry Noodle combo for $9.99 was a great deal--especially considering today's prices. We also tried the fried chicken with rice. The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was flavorful, buttery, and had a hint of coconut, which we really enjoyed. However, the utensils were sticky, which raised concerns about the kitchen's hygiene. That's the main reason I'm giving this place 3 stars. The ambiance is nice and kid-friendly, but I'm not sure if I'll be returning. read more

The Restaurant has a visually appealing, nostalgic charm with its vintage decor and cozy atmosphere. However, the dining experience takes a turn if you're particular about food quality and service. If you have a penchant for extremely dry chicken, reminiscent of jerky, this might be your spot. The service can be notably poor. An example of this is when my grandma politely inquired about reducing the saltiness of a dish, the staff responded unhelpfully, suggesting it was her fault and recommending she add broth. Overall, while Restaurant might attract with its looks, be prepared for potential disappointments in both food quality and customer service. It seems respect for customers isn't a high priority.

Really busy at peak times but cool concept! Definitely reminiscent of Vietnam restaurants/stalls. There is an indoor space for regular dining and an outdoor space for the street food menu. The prices are definitely good, the 9.99 menu is solid. Service is really nice, was offered a plastic chair to sit on while waiting for indoor seating. They have plenty of small plastic chairs + tables for the outside street food seating. One thing I did notice was the employees were occasionally frazzled and give wrong things to wrong tables, but they did fix their mistakes. I am docking one star because prior to attending I read a review about utensils not being clean potentially, and there was something on one of the spoon handles that looked like it may not have been fully clean. Though I did not confront the staff about it because it didn't seem like enough of a red flag but just something to look out for. I don't put too much pressure on affordable places to be 100%, just a note. Overall, will be back to try the street food. The outdoor ambiance is very chill, very much a cool summer night with friends kind of vibe! Recommend for the price, but be prepared for potential wait time amongst a tinyyy bit of chaos if going at peak times. read more

We were looking for a late lunch and stumbled upon this spot - I'd actually seen it before on Instagram. They advertise $9.99 meals, which caught our attention. My husband ordered the Grandma Noodles (pork, egg noodles, and salad), which came with a side of soup to pair with the dry noodles. The flavors were solid--definitely reminded us of the Teo Chew-style noodle dishes. I went with the Grandpa Noodles, which came with beef, brisket, beef balls, rice noodles, and salad, along with a side of soup as well. I really enjoyed mine! The service was great, and the place has a modern vibe. They also serve alcoholic beverages like beer and soju, along with boba drinks. Definitely worth checking out. read more

It is one of our favorite restaurants but the food has been declining. The beef for bò né was very thin and it came already cut in smaller pieces. We ordered rare but it was well done and a bit chewy. To be honest, it is not worth $18.99 + tax + tip. The breads were not very fresh or crispy. There are so many new restaurants with bigger, more flavorful steak with pate, egg, xiu mai, mushroom and everything with the same price. We had to remind the staff for bread and drinks. They put less noodles but you could not really tell since the bowl had a lot of soup and onions and diced celeries. But at least they still maintain it at $9.99 . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean but they are always crowded with the $9.99 deal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think we might return again for the $9.99 Menu only.

Grandpa's Kitchen is a Vietnamese street food haven with comforting and authentic dishes galore! This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a decent amount of seating. Outside, they have separate seating for their new Grandpa's District concept specializing in different street food stall items. I stopped by with the Phamily for dinner around 7pm and we were seated right away. We opted to sit inside to order off of the Grandpa's Kitchen menu. Keep in mind that sitting inside for Grandpa's Kitchen and outside for Grandpa's District has two separate wait lists and times. For the Grandpa's Kitchen menu, they have a solid selection of their speciality dry or soup noodle dishes for $10! In addition, they also have some appetizers and other speciality dishes over $10. After scouring all the amazing options, I opted to get the Mi Dui Ga Kho (Waterfall Crispy Chicken Dry Noodles) and it did not disappoint! I loved fhe crispiness of the chicken paired with the saucy egg noodles and the warm bowl of broth on the side. Overall, we all enjoyed our dining experience here. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. This spot offers a great bang for your buck especially if you order off of the $10 section. I will definitely be back for some more delicious eats. Grandpa's Kitchen is Viet gang approved! read more
