    Don't be discouraged by the mixed reviews, we were a little concerned at first, but we are glad we trusted our Vietnamese Daughter-in-law. This is an amazing, different-from-you-typical pho & sandwich Vietnamese food that you'd be glad that you tried! The Dac Biet dishes are make your own lettuce wraps. Fun, delicious, and healthy. Porridge was my favorite, soothing and light with lots of hidden treasures. Duck was one of their must-try specialties. Highly recommended for this popular authentic Vietnamese restaurant!

    Hong Mai Restaurant has been around for decades. I thought it had closed permanently, but they've recently relocated. I came here for dinner on a weekday and was surprised, it wasn't as crowded as their old location in Catinat. The new restaurant is small, but there were plenty of empty tables. The food came out very quickly. I ordered Bún Vịt Xào Măng (duck with rice noodle soup, served with cabbage salad), one of their signature dishes. The duck was tender, and the ginger sauce made it even better. I requested duck legs only, but they still included some bones and wings. I also tried Cơm Tấm Bì Chả Gà Ốp La, but I don't think it's their specialty, it wasn't very good. Service was fast and friendly, and it was easy to find parking nearby.

    Lots of parking Takes cc only if its 20 dollars or more Tried the bun vit sao mang Portion big The goi/salad was refreshing Meat was cold like refrigerated cold - we had to dunk it in the soup The bamboo n noodles were yummy Hot tea very fragrant Service good I would come back and try other items

    I've been a local fan of Hong Mai since their original location. They just moved here a couple of years ago but the quality has still remained the same. I absolutely love their duck noodles! The quality of the cabbage salad is so fresh and the duck portion is generous with a lot of meat. The soup itself is very flavorful and the portion is a rather good size. Another item that I would always recommend and get myself here are the egg-rolls. They are so good and honestly I can eat the entire portion myself. Those two are the two I would highly recommend. The location is just a bit tighter than the other but it's not bad. The service was good. They were nice to bring us extra bowls and scissors for the kids without us asking. They were attentive and helped us everytime we needed anything. The bathroom was pretty clean as well.

    Hong Mai - My favorite Viet restaurant for Banh Cuon ( steamed rice rolls) and Mien Vit xáo măng. Their flavors are just the same as 8 years ago. Sometimes I crave the vermicelli duck noodle and specifically the one at Hong Mai only! Clear broth, duck meat doesn't have a lot of fat and cooked well ( some place it is so dried), meat are juicy and tender. has such a comforting flavor and nostalgic vibe. Restaurant is clean and service were very nice. Even the condiments/ togo box comes along with specific nuoc mam for each dish. Would love to come back to try Bun Moc

    Stop by for later lunch and got table right 1 minute in the weekday. This is 2nd stop by this new location since they reopened . I still like their duck noodle, rice roll paper and this time I tried Bánh ðâp . Great food & good price. Nice service here

    Thanh Tri Dac Biet

    Stopped by for lunch and was seated right away. It's a small nicely decorated restaurant. Service was good also. I ordered Thanh Tri Dac Biet, my mom ordered Bun Thit Cha Gio and my daughter ordered Canh Bun. Everything was delicious. Eggrolls were yummy. Will be back to try Bun Cha Ha Noi.

    Bun cha gio thit nuong
    Tony T.

    They are back!! We used to love going to their old location in Bolsa, but they re-opened here in Westminster. Their food is always on point. I go with their bun cha gio thit nuong and my wife gets their banh cuon. Can't go wrong with their bun vit either. The chili here is also very spicy. So excited to have them back.

    Bún vịt is good, bún riêu ís also good like most is they have rau muốn fresh and had set asides and not mix in the soup bowl Will be back to try other dishes on the menu

    Mien Vit Sao Mang (it mien); bamboo duck salad with mung bean noodle soup (light noodles)
    Lynn N.

    My favorite mom&pop shop with a 2025 comeback!! Soft grand opening with their famous bun vit sao mang with mien (bamboo duck soup with mung bean noodle) and their OG rice roll items. I ordered just the soup tonight and it hit the spot, fatty duck, heart warming soup and their fragrant ginger dipping sauce was all I needed. This new restaurant location has the perfect ambiance, laid back, cozy and inviting. Looking forward to more of their menu roll out.

    This is bill to show that I ate here earlier

Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.

Butter scallion oyster - 3/5, the oyster was very fresh and large, but I couldn't really taste the butter scallion sauce. Quail scallop - 3/5, fine. Ordering a regular scallop dish would have probably been better. The scallop gets overcooked in the egg. The service was below average: 1. We ordered snails and they didn't give us the bamboo skewers to eat them with 2. They took away the bin to toss the shells mid meal and never returned it 3.

Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it.

I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good.
