    Digital kiosk for ordering at your table
    Peter N.

    I do want to provide this honest update. This has nothing to do with the food quality but more of the restaurants "policy" and how it's routinely conveyed to us which kinda makes us not want to eat here but we do anyways because of the food and hence -1 star. The restaurant closes at 11pm. Most places that want to cleanup or shut down the kitchen typically have last call at closing or 30 mins prior to. This place is 1 HOUR before closing. Crazy! My family came here as usual just about 10pm and they were hesitant to let us eat here. Place had only 2 people at one table. I was reminded that it's 1 HOUR before closing is last seating. Next time I come here 5 mins before this time and still the same speech which makes us feel not wanted as a customer when you keep hearing this. 10 mins after is another couple came in, same speech and they were able to sit down. 30 mins later 2 guys come in and same speech and was still able to sit down and eat. Whether this is the true restaurant's policy or not, it gets very old hearing this and really detracts from the dining experience. If this is actually the way it is, they need to put a sign at the front door so people are aware but I still find this to be absurd.

    Funny how the place is called HOT but despite being 1.6 miles away it was delivered to me cold. SMH Portion size is small (I'm talking half what it should be) compared to other Vietnamese places, but the nearby place I order bánh thịt nướng chả from in Westminster (LanAnh) closes early on Sundays so I ordered DoorDash from here to be delivered 5:50pm. I played my order 3:30 and it arrived 5 minutes before my scheduled time. Wanted to try something new off Yelp with good reviews so I went with this. Next time I'll skip DoorDash and go get orders at the restaurant myself. That way, I don't get lukewarm food at best. Both orders came same temp. Must've been made at least 30 minutes before driver picked it up. My son liked the fish sauce because it was straight up sweet from the sugar in the fish sauce. He finished his portion and was still hungry. Skipping this place next time. Paid $40 when I could've cooked a much more satisfying meal with leftovers for $20.

    I came to this restaurant for a late lunch with my parents today. The food was yummy as always because my dad and I ordered the dry ramen (broth seperate)

    The food is SO good! I don't usually order com whenever we eat, but decided to give it a try since they specialize in it. I ordered with it thit and it was SO good; it actually reminded me of the food I had in Vietnam. Our server was really friendly! I never got his name, but he was the guy with glasses. He gave us a run down of the menu and what/how to order.

    Tried this little Vietnamese spot near my house and honestly... I'm glad we did. The food was super yummy. I've definitely had better Vietnamese food before, not gonna lie, but this place is a close second, and what really makes it stand out is that it's open late. That alone makes it such a win, especially when you're craving something that isn't fast food at 10-11pm. The restaurant itself is really clean and inviting. It wasn't busy at all when we went, which made it a perfect place to just sit, eat, and chat without feeling rushed. There were plenty of tables and even a cute little outdoor patio if you want to eat outside. Bathrooms were clean too, which always gets bonus points from me. You order on a tablet, which I actually loved. I'm terrible at making decisions, so being able to scroll through everything, look at pictures, and take my time was super helpful. No pressure, no awkward "I'm not ready yet" moments. The food wasn't my absolute favorite Vietnamese food ever, but it also wasn't bad at all, it was solid, comforting, and hit the spot. I can totally see myself coming back again and again for a late-night snack or casual bite, especially since most other places are closed by then. Overall, it's a great little late-night option that feels way better than grabbing fast food. Clean, chill vibe, decent food, and open late, that combo alone makes it worth going back.

    If you're craving a quick fix of broken rice, this is the place! I didn't expect much at first, but it actually turned out pretty good. You order on an iPad, and the staff brings everything out to you. The ambiance is surprisingly nice too. We ordered four items, pork chops, egg, shrimp, and egg rolls and everything hit the spot. We also tried the fish sauce wings, which were delicious. Plus, it's super close to home, so that's a win!

    Was craving for com tam so stopped by here since it was close to where I was. Plenty of parking and clean too. Very nice simple decor, clean, spacious, airy and well kept inside. Plenty of TVs hung around with different channel of cooking or food traveling shown. You ordered on the tablet that they provided along with a menu in case you can do on the tablet. Easy order and quick turn around...the foods look delicious and tasty plus it comes with free veggie soup - a really small soup that you wonder why bother. All are good and tasty plus good portion. I was impressed or really hungry that I cleaned up the plate, except the soup (it was so so). Coffee was good, too much iced. Overall not bad at all.

    Spring rolls
    Cat N.

    I really wanted to like this place more because its not to far from me. I came in here for pickup. I did like how spacious it is inside with plenty of chairs and tables to dine in. It was also a little busy on a weekday for lunch. However there was only one lady working the floor and everyone had to wait. I ended up ordering the 4 item com tam combo and an order of spring rolls. My 4 item com tam included steam egg cake, eggroll, pork chop, and a beef short rib for an additional $3. I did like that there were plenty of different items to choose from for my 4 items. The com tam ended up being meh and underwhelming. The meats were on th de dry side. thought it would be a large order but it ended up being pretty small. As for the spring rolls it came with pork and shrimp. It was ripped when I got home and not the best I've had. It was okay but the sauce was not good. The pricing here is reasonable and affordable. I did like that it had its own parking lot which made it easy to get in and out. I would come back to try their other items.

    Charbroiled pork chop broken rice
    Jonathan B.

    Nice spot for broken rice! Charbroiled pork chop is my go to broken rice order, this place does it great! Love the free tea and free soup too, can't pass up free food. I like the tablets at each table, makes it super easy to order! Sports was playing in the background too, nice place to hang out!

    Bitter melon soup!  YAAAAAS!

    This place is so tech-y! Love the POS at table side! My favorite thing is the bitter melon soup! Yummmmo!

    Fish sauce fried chicken wings appetizers
    Kenneth M.

    Wow, I'm honestly surprised at this hidden gem. From the outside it seems quiet and dead, but suddenly it gets busy. We came here on a whim because we live 2 mins away. Pro: Plenty of seating, enough room for a stroller, clean with plenty of TVs. The Fish Sauce chicken wings and it was pretty good, it was garlicky, savory and sweet. We both ordered the 4 item Broken Rice with pork chop. You can customize the items to mix and match here. So you can theoretically get all pork chops if u wanted. But it was good and at a decent price. The grilled shrimp was juicy and fat. The service was also good and friendly. Con's: -ordering from a tablet (can be good or bad up to the user) but it is user friendly. -echoes inside due to the concrete floors. -slow but friendly service due to only having one server (weekday) -Thai tea had a lot of cream. We will come back for sure.

    Picked a random viet restaurant near my friends new house and hit gold! This place was a great find with authentic flavors at a decent price. We visited during pretty slow hours on Labor Day and the service was just okay. Food (5/5) - Good concept letting customers customize their own com tam plate rather than listing 10,000 different combinations on the menu. Flavors were on point, portions were alright, probably the best com tam i've had in the area. Just a bit on the more expensive side. I ordered the grilled pork and viet sausage, and everything was good quality even the sides. Service (3.5/5) - As mentioned above, visited at a slow time and still had pretty sluggish service, which was countered with great food so it wasn't a huge deal. Just a hot summer day and was rushing to get some ice waters going! Ordering off a tablet is a bit slow for groups of people. The staff here is very nice, however. Ambiance (5/5) - I really like the sleek design of this restaurant, appears very spacious, is clean, and comfortable seating. Lots of parking, nice bathrooms, not super loud inside, can't complain.

    Peter H.

    First time here and the food was really good! Spacious interior with plenty of seating too. Inside is very clean and organized with lots of TVs which makes for a perfect location to spend time with friends and family. The service was very professional and quick. We got their com tam with 3 and 4 items (two separate orders). Everything was cooked so well and it was so delicious. I grew up eating these dishes and I was so happy to be able to find a restaurant that served well made dishes. The shredded pork and skin, steam egg cake, charbroiled pork chop, and char-broiled pork were delicious. The pork was very smoky too. The best thing about this place was the pricing of the menu items. They're VERY reasonable and a huge reason why I would come back to this place. So many restaurants feel expensive nowadays due to inflation/costs of living/etc but the pricing on this menu takes me back a few years. I'd be happy to come again!

If that bit of consistency doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. Oc & Lau specializes in Vietnamese street food and essentially works in family style dining.

Ingredients are always fresh and the quality is on point. My complaints stem from the restaurant ALWAYS being "sold out" of the razor clams and the stir fried basil clams coming out soupy and off tasting to what they normally should taste like. Not too big of a deal once you factor in all the other great qualities Oc & Lau has. The pricing is costly and the portions can be small depending on what you are ordering. Things add up quite quickly since my family and I eat to get stuffed. Lmao. 5/5 stars because a trip to LA isn't a trip to LA without visiting O&L!!! I'll forever be a fan!!

    I recommended this seafood market to my daughter when she was planning a sushi night with her…read moreroommate, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. She went in looking for sushi-grade salmon, and she couldn't be happier with the quality. The salmon was incredibly fresh, healthy-looking, and full of flavor. She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood

Second, they are not stingy with the lobster. Every bite actually has lobster in it, not just filler. Everything was rich, fresh, and super satisfying.

I wish they pushed the lobster down into the roll a little more instead of stacking it on top to make it look fuller because it made it a lot harder to eat. The side salad was okay. I liked the clam chowder a lot. Fries and tater tots were perfectly crispy! Flaming hot lobster fries ($25): This feels a bit overpriced for what it is and kind of lackluster. Fries were good and crispy but the cheese wasn't melted well. Lobster is thrown on there and I think it would be better with cheeto dust versus the random cheetos thrown on top. Fish tacos ($15): You get three tacos which is decent pricing. The fish was crispy and flavor is basic but good. All in all, a good spot to get your lobster roll fix without having to drive too far!
