    Food was 3 stars but I am bumping to 4 because of the service. We drove out of our way to dinner here and the server saw that we looked lost. He kindly explained how to order and checked on us frequently. We got the broken rice with the pork chop, steamed egg cake and fried chicken. The fried chicken was yummy and fried well. The pork chop was a step down from brodard's since brodard's has a smokey flavor that keeps me coming back. My wife got the bun bo hue which was okay. It was missing the pork feet that usually accompanies the dish. She appreciated that the broth was not spicy and that chili was offered on the side. Truthfully, we wouldn't go out of our way to dine here again but would eat here if we were running errands nearby.

    In the ultra competitive Vietnamese food scene in Westminster only the best survive but in this case, this place raised the bar. I'll let the food pics speak for themselves. The food was even better than even in my pics. All the dishes were amazing but I especially loved the basil clams, the shrimp and the pork chops. Also service staff was attentive, friendly and courteous. They use a tablet for ordering so it was fast and efficient. The ghost of the old pizza hut vibes also bring a bit of nostalgia but they tastefully modernized it well. Can't wait to go back!

    Really enjoyed stopping by here! I like the ipad and how the portions were. The pricepoint definitely seemed fair and I'll definitely be coming back! The thit nuong really tasted like it came hot out the grill! Will try their nem next!

    This was ok. The pork chop was really thin, which I like, but the portion was so small (after you remove all the bone and fat) the at I was still hungry by the time I finished the pork chop. There was too much sauce on the pork chop too, it was overpowering. I would come here again if I happened to be in the area, but not willingly, if I had another choice.

    I was pretty impressed by this com tam place, and there's so many options to choose from in OC! Ordering was very simple on an iPad, but the workers were very attentive and available in case we needed help. I love a Viet restaurant that plays food videos on their TVs while you're eating, and this place does just that. It just gives authentic vibes... We started with the thai basil clams and lemongrass clams. They were good, but we wished the flavors were stronger. For mains, we tried their com tam and their chicken curry. I usually never finish my com tam but this time I did! For my three toppings, I chose the tau hu ky, grilled pork, and steamed egg cake. The tau hu ky was so crispy, grilled pork was perfectly seasoned, and I loved the texture of the steamed egg. The complimentary soup that it came with was also actually super rich and flavorful and complimented the com tam very well. I'll definitely be back!

    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.

    First time here and found this great Vietnamese restaurant! The Bun Bo Hue was delicious and full of flavor. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were fresh, and the lemongrass clams were so tasty. Everything was fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. I will definitely be back!

    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.

    Digital kiosk for ordering at your table

    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.

    HOT Com Tam was delicious! We came in today and tried a bunch of dishes: the hủ tiếu, bún chả, lemongrass clams, and egg rolls. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The passion fruit juice was refreshing, and the aloe vera with chia seeds was perfect with the meal. Ordering on the tablet was super easy and convenient, and the customer service was the best. One of my favorite little details was the table condiment with ginger it was so good I kept picking the ginger pieces straight out of the container. Great food, great flavors, and definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    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!

I knew about their fried chicken, but I didn't know they had chicken sandwiches too. I got the Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich, 4 wings, and garlic noodles. Tip: If you order through the app, you can skip the wait and get a free garlic noodle. I think it's only for your first order on the app, though, and I'm not sure how long the deal lasts. Wings -- 3/5 The wings were okay, but pretty mediocre. I got one flat and three drumettes, which was a little disappointing. The flavor and crispiness were both kind of lacking, and I ate them fresh too. The seasoning reminded me of that lobster green onion sauce you'd get at a Vietnamese-Chinese restaurant. Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich -- 4/5 The sandwich was definitely better. The chicken had a good crisp to it, but sadly, it was overfried and wasn't cooked evenly. The edges were noticeably darker than the center, and the chicken itself was thinner than I expected. The sauce didn't taste like anything particularly special either--it was giving spicy mayo, if anything. The vegetables and pickles made the sandwich taste similar to another famous chicken sandwich place. I actually liked it overall, but because the chicken wasn't fried evenly, I'd give it a 4/5. Garlic Noodles The garlic noodles were okay. They definitely had a lot of garlic, but I didn't think the cheese on top was necessary. It kind of ruined it for me. I won't rate this one since it was free, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Service wasn't bad. It was super busy when I went, so I had to wait a little longer than the estimated pickup time. There's ample seating inside, although the AC was kind of lacking. Overall, I'd probably come back for the chicken sandwich and give it another try, especially if a friend wanted to go. I wouldn't really recommend the other items I tried, though.
