Steamed salted whole chicken
Rachel T.

My one and only spot for steamed chicken, roasted ducks, and crispy pork belly. You can never go wrong ordering food from Hao Vi. Generous portion, fast service , reasonable price. They take Credit Card which I like. You can see in the video, the chicken has nice color, and the meat is not too soft, my family only goes here to buy cooked poultry. If you come near closing time they might be sold out for a lot of things, especially the infamous Peking Duck.

Look how juicy!!! I also love that they give extra sauce and add the bamboo on top. Service was quick, too

Best BBQ meats in the area (Ducks, chickens, Porks, etc) it's only for to-go orders (in period called ahead for specialty items - like pigs heads, etc). Clean and quick service, preferably Cash payments. It's well known to the community and locals. We called ahead with our orders since items were selling out quickly. Delicious BBQ.

My family and I got this for the holidays and the wait was at least 45 minutes. People ahead of us complained waiting 2hrs but I think the line of people waiting comes to show how good the place is. The roasted pork was fresh with crispy skin and the salted chicken was soft and tender. I love the sauces they give which pair well with the meats. (a little brown sauce and fish sauce). My family and I enjoyed wrapping the meats in rice paper and making scrumptious spring rolls out of them. They accept credit cards which is also great.

Usually the heo quay here us very good but today it was rather disappointing. Portions were smaller, skin wasn't as crispy, and the meat was a bit dry. Hopefully it was just an off day!

Their famous awesomely gateway to wonderful great bbq.

Their foods here are always one of the greatest bbq place in OC. We loved literrally everything, everything here. The roast ducks are so tastey and wonderful, tendered, well marinated. All of the foods here are very, atticulately marinated to perfections. Services always with a smile, fast and right. The moment you walk in. You could smell all of the wonderful great aromas. Clean, nice, accurate and wonderfully great with everything.

I thought it was closed due to the Yelp Report, so I did called the store to make sure, the lady there answered the phone quickly and nicely. I bought the Roasted Duck, it's so good! The lines was long, so be prepared to wait!

Nasty vit quay

The roasted duck doesn't tasted the same as before Covid. Not sure if they change owner or have a new chef?

One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything…read moreshellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

This Vietnamese fusion seafood restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and hot pots. We started with the razor clams, which were the standout of the meal. They were incredibly flavorful and paired with a delicious sauce that had us wanting every last bite. The spicy scallops were another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. The escargot was a little chewy, but the savory sauce made up for it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum seafood hot pot, which was just okay. We also had the deep-fried tilapia, which was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside. It's hard to go wrong with anything deep-fried here. Overall, the razor clams and deep-fried tilapia were the highlights of our meal. If you're willing to wait for a table, this is a good spot for fresh seafood with a few standout dishe

The pork patties were my favorite, and although there were plenty of the grilled pork, many of them were pieces with a lot of fat. That was my only gripe about it. Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor. The accompanying broth on the side was great as well, with hints of dried shrimp reminiscent of a really good HK wonton noodle soup broth. Highly recommend this place!!

It's pretty much a hole in the wall type of place with some large TV's on the walls if you wanted to watch sporting events like the World Cup. We got banh mi pate que which comes with 2 piece that are breadstick sized filled with pate and pork floss. A great appetizer for sharing or having some coffee with. It comes served piping HOT so be careful! We also had the bun cha ha noi which is a very traditional Northern Vietnamese Nanoi dish. It has grilled pork patties and pork belly in a sweet savory fish sauce served with fresh herbs and cold rice vermicelli. You pretty much eat it by wrapping it with the lettuce or dip your noodles into the sauce. Very authentic and delicious without being overly heavy. There isn't much service here since they seem to be super short staffed but they do have delicious authentic Northern Vietnamese food so we absolutely will be back again!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

You can tell they put a lot of time and care into making it. The Wagyu beef was the real highlight. It was beautifully marbled, incredibly tender, and practically melted in my mouth after just a few seconds in the hot broth. The quality of the meat really elevated the entire bowl and made it feel like a premium pho experience. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the fresh herbs added great aroma, and every ingredient tasted fresh. The portions were generous, and the presentation was beautiful from the moment it arrived at the table. The restaurant was clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience even better.
