Nice cozy ambience in here and reminds us of the last time we were in Hanoi. The bun cha hit the spot and extra points for the tasty corn milk. read more

Had a nice bowl of bun cha Hanoi recently. The portion size is huge. You get a ton of beautiful greens and bean sprouts, a nice pile of vermicelli noodles and a generous bowl of bun cha. In addition to 3 generous pork patties, there's also grilled pork à la thit nuong swimming in the fish sauce broth. I really enjoyed the flavors and the fresh veg. It was so generous that I was able to make 2 meals of it. Would definitely return. read more

What a disappointing experience. I've been wanting to try Hanoi Old Quarter for quite some time, and now I wish I hadn't. After a long day at work, I wasn't in the mood to cook and was craving one of my favorite dishes: Bun Cha Ca Thi La. I've had excellent versions at Binh Minh (on the other side of Mall of Fortune Plaza), so I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, it didn't come close. The broth was overly salty and oddly yellow. The signature tomato-based sourness was completely missing, and there was barely any dill (thi la), which is one of the defining flavors of the dish. To make matters worse, there was only one small, thin piece of cha ca in the entire bowl. At $18 per bowl and cash only, the meal felt like a poor value. If you're craving Bun Cha Ca Thi La, I'd recommend going to Binh Minh instead. This experience honestly reminded me that I could save money and make a much better version at home. My husband picked up the order and mentioned that the floors inside were sticky. It was also surprisingly slow for a Monday evening, with no apparent dinner rush, which in hindsight should have been a sign for us to go elsewhere. Given our experience, I'm genuinely surprised by the high ratings. They certainly didn't reflect the quality of the food we received. read more

Hanoi Old Quarter - Bun Cha Ca Thi La, $18/bowl, cash only as of June 2026 - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

All foods were to-go, and I did not have a good experience: -Bún chả Hà Nội was too salty, both meats and sauce. Sauce had too much sugar. Had to add a lot of water to dilute the salt. - Extra nem cua bể was soaked in oil, had a stinky smell of crab that was going bad. Had to throw away. - Bún sườn mọc măng was too salty and had strong MSG after-taste. Overall, they offer good quantity, but the quality is so bad. As a Hanoian, most foods in America are salty to my taste, but damn these were too too salty your teeth hurt! Be easy on the salt, the sugar, the MSG please! read more

Cute decor for a small space. Walked in and saw a big banner for "soft opening". Menu isn't too big but there's a bunch of options. We were greeted right away and shortly got our order taken. It's in an odd location, for those of you who's using the gps like me, this restaurant is located in the back of the building. Overall, I enjoyed everything except for the shrimp paste sauce. read more

I honestly think these reviews are fraud. They do incentivize you with a free drink if you "leave a google review". That being said, this restaurant is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING (not the food, but the cleanliness) We visited because theyre open late and omg the the floor was CLUTTERED with trash, food, idk what else. Not sure why there were people in there still. I really dont want to say its an asian thing. Food was good, we did enjoy but not love (so not great, maybe 3.5 or 4) but overall vibe of the restaurant is questionable. They take zelle or cash only which is also odd. Bathroom was unspeakable. It really made us question how the food was prepared. Their pork vermicelli was pretty decent but the crab egg rolls did not taste like crab. Plenty of parking. Staff was also just OK. Will not return, just save your money and go somewhere else where they actually sanitize where you eat. read more

Went here with my family on a Sunday evening. Interior is very clean and aesthetic. As other reviews have said, the location is a little hard to find. It's on the backside of the main plaza that your GPS takes you to. Go through the center area where the pho place and oc and lau is and take the inside paths all the way to the other side. It'll be on your left hand side on the outside of the back of the plaza. My dad really enjoyed the pho ga. The banh canh in my opinion could've used more flavor and more meat. The peppers do help amp it up though. The appetizers we got were a nice addition but could use more lettuce! Service was quick and kind. read more

The cha ca la vong $27.95 is amazing as always. My step sister had the grilled port and ground pork patty No. 16 $16.95. That was delicious too. My other step sister had the chicken and sticky rice. She loved the coconut rice so flavorful but at $14.95? Delicious but pricey for how small the bowl and the amount of chicken. Crab spring rolls $12.95 were very good too. Just remember it's cash only!! Service is quick and love the ambiance clean and modern. read more

Came here on a weekend for lunch as recommended this restaurant is known for its northern Vietnamese food. Was recommended to try the Canh Bun Cha Ca (Crab noodle soup with fish cake) by a friend. I also ordered the Nem cua be (Crab meat fried spring roles and veggies) as an appetizer. The Nem cua be is very delicious and goes perfectly with the crispy lettuce leaves, mint leave and cilantro (using the lettuce leave as a wrap, add some mint leaves and cilantro, and then dip it into the provided fish spice). The Canh bun cha ca (Crab noodle soup with fish cake) soup was slightly on the light tasting side, but the crab meat balls and the fish cake were very flavorful. Generous portion as well. Pricing wise, similar to local restaurants in the area so definitely great value. Good service. The resturant may be a bit difficult to find it is located in the back of the mall (Mall of Fortune / next to Oc & Lau2). Plenty of parking around the mall area. The resturant can be a little cramped with the tables closely next to each other. However overall, it's a good place to check it out when in the area. Come out and support our local small businesses! read more

This is a 3.8 star rating. Staff--nice, great at explaining the dishes to my family. Ambiance--new, smaller spot but enough for three parties of 8 with plenty of smaller tables. We made reservations for 8. Yeah for taking reservations! Food--this is a 3.8 stars. Didn't get all the photos. The noodles had big portions. We got the bún cha and it was almost as good as the spot in Hanoi where Anthony Bordain and Obama ate. Big portions although would've like more vegetables. Bún cá thi là was good but the fish pieces were too salty. Bún thang was good but not as flavorful even though it is supposed to be a simple dish. The savory chicken sticky rice portion was, surprisingly, small and plain. read more

Passed by this place several times since we love going to Oc & Lau2 that's next door. Finally decided to try it since it was recently featured on Westways magazine. Cha ca la vong is good, we should have turned off the tabletop portable gas stove way earlier bc our fish ended up being burnt... The crabmeat spring roll had nice texture but I didn't get too much crab flavor. Bun Cha Hanoi is decent...a bit overly sweet for me. Service is friendly. Bring cash! read more

Bun cha Hanoi is one of the best I ever had. If you love garlic, you can add garlic into your food to add more powerful punch flavor. You need either cash or Zelle. read more

If this place opened up in Vietnam, I just know business would be booming. The flavors are so authentic and reminded me of my trips to Hanoi. My go to dishes are the egg rolls and canh bun, but this time I decided to try something different. I got their mien ga tron, which was a dry vermicelli with dark meat chicken and chicken liver! It came with side of hearty broth, which acted as the perfect palate cleanser between my bites of mien ga tron and egg rolls dipped in fish sauce. Flow state was definitely reached ‍ I recommend bringing cash as they do not accept credit card, but I believe they also take Venmo! Nothing too crazy about the ambience but you'll be so busy eating that it won't even matter. The place is nice and clean, and service is always great :) read more

Went to check out Hanoi Old Quarter in Garden Grove and got to try more Northern Vietnamese cuisine. Upon entering the restaurant I noticed a dozen tables and the restaurant look very clean. The staff welcomed us and sat us at our table. This time I ordered the Hanoi grilled pork rice noodles, crab noodle soup with fish cake and grilled fish with turmeric and dill. Hanoi grilled pork rice noodles: This dish came with a bowl of fish sauce broth that had grilled pork patties, slices of pork belly/bacon and some pickled veggies. You eat it with the rice noodles and veggies by mixing it together. The dish was sweet and smokey from the grilled meats. The pork belly/bacon was crispy on the edges as well. Crab noodle soup with fish cake: The soup had rice noodles, morning glory, onions, fish cake, tofu, pig blood and crab meat balls. The soup itself was light, yet flavorful from the spices and sweetness from the crab meat. They give you the thicker rice noodles (round but smaller than udon noodles) which I liked. It had more of a chew compared to the thin rice noodles. Grilled fish with turmeric and dill: This dish came on a pan on top of a butane stove. The fish was already pre grilled and came with fresh dill and onions on top. You let the herbs cook down at table side before enjoying with the rice noodles, peanuts and shrimp sauce that it comes with. The fish that they use is swai which is super meaty. The dill once cooked down is like any other veggie but super aromatic. It was my first time trying the shrimp sauce and it had a strong smell but it tasted good on the fish and noodles. All the dishes here averages out to be about $17 which is pretty affordable nowadays. Everything was fresh and came with a lot of veggies as well. read more

Excellent Cha Ca La Vong (Hanoi grilled fish with turmeric and dill). Comes on a hot pan and burner to cook at the table so it can get the perfect crispy tender texture. Lots of onion and dill which I love. Probably the best I've had in Little Saigon. Portion is for 2. Bun Cha Hanoi is solid as well but not as good as the fish. Would have liked thicker pork patties. My biggest knock against this place is the cleanliness. The floor reminds me of the real Hanoi Old Quarter and could use some sweeping. Get a wet mop while you're at it because that shit was sticky. The burner had old food caked on it and the plastic spoons were chipped and stained. Another negative, CASH or ZELLE only! This should be criminal in 2026. read more

Authentic Hanoi flavors and some of the best Vietnamese dishes I've had in Orange County. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and true to Northern-style cooking. We ordered the catfish turmeric, and it arrived sizzling on a frying pan over a small burner -- aromatic, beautifully seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Easily a standout dish. The crab egg rolls were another highlight. The rice‑paper wrapper was super crispy without being greasy, and you could actually taste the crab meat inside. They were so good we almost ordered a second round. The pork rib soup was excellent -- rich, savory, and comforting, with tender ribs and a broth that tasted like it had been simmered for hours. Overall, the food was delicious, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. read more

This has been on my list of bookmarks for awhile, and they deserve all the recognition. The service is quick. Better yet the food is great. It was pretty lively for a Tuesday night but the food speaks for itself. Cha ca had good flavoring and the vegetables tasted clean. Bun thang was also really good, refreshing. The restaurant is also clean. Just like everyone said, cash only but appreciate them taking zelle. And if you do a review you get a free drink. I'm not even a big fan of jasmine tea but those fruit teas are good! I'd pay for one. read more

It's a cute place with modern yet warm design reminiscent of those small eateries in old town Hanoi but cleaner and not as cramped. They serve a good variety of northern Vietnamese dishes especially those unique to Hanoi. Service can be a tad slow around peak hours but still prompt and friendly nonetheless. Ordered Nem cua bể (crispy fried crab meat roll) and the iconic Chả cá Lã Vọng (turmeric spiced grilled fish with dill). The fish is pan seared on the tabletop propane grill which makes it a fun and unique experience. The pieces are tender, aromatic and nicely spiced with turmeric and galangal. Comes with plenty of fresh dill which is the signature trademark of this unique dish. Having eaten this dish numerous times in Hanoi, I'd say it's quite authentic and packed with nice layers of flavor. The Nem cua bể can be a little bit crispier in my opinion, but still very good and delicious. I recommend this place for those wanting something a bit different than the typical Vietnamese fare found in SoCal. What will make this place even better is Bia Hanoi or Bia Saigon that will pair very nicely with the Bún chả or other dishes there for that matter. read more

Always see people posting about how good this place is, so we finally tried Hanoi Old Quarter. We ordered their most talked-about dishes - Bún Chả Hà Nội and Bún Thang. The Bún Thang was the clear star. The broth was incredibly flavorful, comforting, and beautifully layered, with a subtle yet distinct shrimp essence that really took it to the next level. Clean, rich, and deeply satisfying - easily a dish I'd come back for again and again. The Bún Chả Hà Nội was decent, but didn't quite hit the flavor notes I was expecting given all the hype. Not bad by any means, just overshadowed by how good the Bún Thang was. Service was a bit lacking, though - definitely room for improvement - but the staff was polite. Love the modern Vietnamese ambiance - stylish, clean, and inviting. My mom and I both agreed the Bún Thang alone makes this place worth visiting. read more
