    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.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

SEN is stays true to their authencity, going for quality over quantity, with their two page menu. Didn't realize just how many Vietnamese restaurants were in the area, so stiff competition! And no, SEN is not a KEI Concepts location! After ordering, we were given our waters in plastic to-go cups, which I thought was a little strange. After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

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.

From the moment it hit the table, I could smell how rich and flavorful the broth was. You can tell it wasn't rushed--it tasted like it had been simmering for hours.

The beef was unbelievably tender, practically melting in my mouth, and the noodles had the perfect bite. This is the kind of meal that reminds you why pho is one of the best comfort foods out there. What really impressed me was the freshness of everything. The herbs were vibrant, the bean sprouts had a great crunch, the jalapeños added the perfect kick, and a squeeze of lime brought the entire bowl together. Every ingredient complemented the broth instead of overpowering it. I found myself slowing down just to enjoy every bite because it was that good. By the time I finished, I was honestly wishing there was another bowl waiting for me. The service and atmosphere made the experience even better.
