I've been here so many times and realized I forgot to leave a review! The restaurant is small, and I really wish they stayed open a bit later than 4 PM. The food here is spot on so sooooo good! This is my go-to hủ tiếu place. Sometimes I have to try other spots because they're closed, but no one else comes close to their authentic flavor. My only small wish is that the noodle portion was a bit bigger. Regardless, thank you so much for making such delicious food! read more

I've tried both the dry and soup versions of the hu tieu here, and I enjoyed both. Each bowl comes with plenty of toppings like shrimp, pork , ground pork, fish cake, and quail eggs. You can also choose different types of noodles. The broth is light but flavorful, and if you order the dry version, the soup comes on the side. The prices are very reasonable, and I think it's a great value for what you get. The restaurant is pretty small with only a few tables, but I've always been able to find parking even though the parking lot looks limited. The only downside for me is the business hours. They close at 4:00 PM, which is just too early. I often get off work and want to stop by for dinner, but they're already closed. Maybe they're mainly focused on the lunch crowd, but hu tieu is something people enjoy any time of the day. I really wish they stayed open later. read more

Dry noodles are one of my absolute favorites to order if they are on the menu at a Vietnamese spot. You know this spot is legit when their menu is just noodles. This is one of the best ones I've had! I always get the combo noodles because of the different textures. Highly recommend this spot! And note they are cash only for orders under $20! Such a hole in the wall spot! Highly recommend! read more

Service was very good. Typical Vietnamese eatery. The noodles were good BUT didn't taste like hu tiu at all. That's a no no to me. read more

The O.G Dried Hu Tieu in Garden Grove. My cousin love Hu Tieu and this is one of the place that she approve. Fast service, can get crowded at peak hours like 10:30-11:00am even on a Weekday so make sure you go here early. Portion is quite small but the price is affordable so I cant complain. They have options for dried rice noodle, chewy clear one or just regular. Very nice seasoning and mixing sauce for the hu tieu. Will come back again read more

Food : 5 Ambience: 4 Service: 5 Wow!! How did I not know this place until now? It's delicious. The portions are perfect. The flavors are so balanced with salt, crunch, meat to noodle ratio, and PRICE! It's so affordable. The noodles are nice and chewy but not gummy. The meat is really good. And the soup is full of umami. I would eat this all day everyday if I could. It's a small space and can get packed. So be ready to wait. The food is worth the wait!! Bon appetit read more

Bang for your buck! This is a hole-in-the-wall gem. You know it's good when there is a group of people waiting outside to be seated and all the seats are filled. The restaurant itself is kinda small. I couldn't help but noticed that everyone eating was Vietnamese haha. The wait time for my food was so quick. I ordered and 10 minutes later, my food came out already. It was piping hot and well made. $12 for Hu Tieu nam vang (dry- broth on the side) is such a steal. My tummy was happy. Cannot recommend this place enough! Go, go, go! read more

OMG- good price, straightforward menu, great food! The perfect bowl of perfectly portioned noodles and toppings with the perfect amount of seasoning. Casual, easy eat that hits the spot every time you bite into it. Love getting the specialty bowl with a mix of dry hu tieu and egg noodles. Service is fast, nice and to the point. read more

Delicious small mom and pop shop! I came at around 1130 and the place was crowded. There was a small line but it moved quickly. The service was quick and the food came out fast as well. We were able to get the side of pork knuckle bones which i highly recommend! I was told they usually sell out quick for that so it's best to go early if that's something you want. The flavors were good and the clear noodles were chewy! read more

Hu Tieu De Nhat - 4. Chewy Noodles/ Dai Nam Vang - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I always get the Nam Vang (Special) #3 Mi Nam Vang (Egg Noodle Special), dry (soup on the side), because I love the egg noodles. #2 comes with both rice and egg noodles if you want to try both. I also like to order extra crispy skin (crispy pork fat) for added crunch. I like to add the condiments--pickled jalapeños, sliced garlic, and chili oil, because the broth is very light and not as flavorful as others I've tried. But it's still delicious and I find it comforting. My friend recommends ordering the fried donut to dip into the broth. I will have to try next time. The restaurant is usually packed. Also, bring cash if you want to avoid the extra charge for using a card. There's not alot of parking up front, but we have been lucky to find parking right away on every visit. read more

Came here for a quick lunch. The pricing is very cheap but that's also reflected in the portion. They basic concept is you choose from a set of meat and then the options are which noodles you want and if you want it dry or soup format. I'd you choose dry I believe they still give you some broth with your dish. The flavor of everything was good, I just wish there was more portion or maybe a large size. read more

Yum! My friends and I stumbled upon this spot after we saw it on Yelp. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and it was packed! We had to wait a few minutes for a table. The place is definitely a hole in the wall, a little smelly from the pickled garlic + mam tom. They took our order and food came out within 10 minutes! The broth was light, flavorful, and hearty. Love the variety of meats and I got the chewy noodle. It was filling and didn't seem too expensive! I will definitely be returning back! read more

Hu Tieu De Nhat - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Small hole in the wall spot. With the unmatched value and the bold flavors I would agree with the De Nhat (best) title. -they are very good with what they serve, the noodles have very good flavor and chew. I'd get the clear noodles alone as they have more flavor, a better texture, and are lower in calories. -service is friendly, I don't expect too much as I'm here for the food. Though the manager, she is very nice. -it's a small mom and pop shop so he patient if you have a large group. 5/5 overall I wish I had taken photos; but I was so hungry and it was so good I completely forgot. read more

1 star because I honestly feel betrayed after coming back to support this business for decades. Today was the last straw. I asked for a refill of the garlic and jalapeños. The bald gentleman responded, "It's still new, why do you need a refill?" I told him I was simply asking for a refill--not questioning whether it was new or not. I found the response unnecessary and rude. Later, I shared my noodles with my daughter. She didn't finish, so we asked for a to-go box. Since I had already added spices to my broth, I politely asked if they could give me just a little bit of broth for my toddler to take with the noodles. Once again, the same gentleman told me it would be $2 for the broth. There have been little things here and there during our visits, but I always let them go because I didn't think they were a big deal. Unfortunately, today was over the top. I've supported this business for decades, and that's why this experience was especially disappointing. It's not about the $2--it's about the way a longtime customer was treated. I'm sure losing one customer may not be a big deal to them, but I know I have plenty of other local businesses to choose from. After today, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Hu Tieu De Nhat - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

First time trying hu tieu was a great experience at Hu Tieu De Nhat! I was in the area as I started a new job nearby, and remembered seeing this place. When I came in, it was fairly empty with only a couple customers, and was allowed to sit wherever I chose. I ordered the Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang, which is the combination Hu tieu with rice AND egg noodles, which I very much appreciated having the option of. I ordered the soup version, but after having my order taken I realized dry might be more enjoyable in the hot weather, and asked if it was too late to change my order. They were very accommodating and happy to switch things before making my food. The food came out pretty quickly, alongside the Chinese donut I ordered to enjoy with the soup (which still was served in a small portion on the side of the dry noodles). The noodles were very well cooked, and satisfyingly chewy. The sauce was sweet and savory with familiar but slightly new Vietnamese flavors. I think my preference leaned towards the rice noodles as I like a more soft and chewy noodle, but both were very good. Their table condiments - pickled garlic, peppers, and chili oil, also complimented the food nicely. My server was sure to refill my water often. I'd absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try the dish. P.S. the restaurant takes cash only for checks under $20. I was not prepared for this and during our exchange I embarrassingly forgot to leave a cash tip. I will definitely be back and will use that opportunity to make up that tip lol. read more

It has been a while since I've came back, but the food remains amazing. Great flavors, good portion sizes, and quick service. $13 after tax for a bowl of delicious noodles can't be beat in this economy. Only thing, is that I wish they stayed open a little later for dinner! read more

Hu Tieu De Nhat - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

The most delicious noodles. My first time trying this variety. Textures mix in the #2 - Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang - love the combination of softer rice and chewier egg noodles. The dry version comes with a savory broth. Sip and dip and add bitter greens for extra oomph. The first two menu items are their signature, but it's the #5 - Dai Mi Nam Vang you'll remember. They look the same but taste quite different as the gelatinous clear noodles add a different flavor and dimension. A very small cafe, tiny hold in the wall serving some of the best noodles in the area. read more

Cheap eats bang for buck! Ordered 2 bowls for under $30 and we were both full. This is a small mom and pop shop serving dry and soup noodles. We got 2 dry noodles one with bbq pork and one with pork and shrimp. Favorite part was the crispy pork skin we added on side as well as the pickled garlic and chilis that are on the table. Compliments the noodles so well and gives a nice fresh kick to every bite. The meat was a bit dry and had some undesired porky flavor. Soup tasted ok but I can't complain about the price. Definitely a great spot keeping prices low and food quality high! There is seating indoors and outside but it's really small. Went at 2pm and had to wait haha. Parking is also small and tight. They accept card and cash with 3% surcharge for card. read more

Came here for the first time on a Sunday just before noon and there was about a 15 minute wait or so (we were the second party in line). Parking was easy, though the lot is relatively small. There was available street parking, if needed. It's a small spot, but they sure get the job done. Decent pricing at $12 per bowl, hearty soup, clean tasting meat/shrimp, and lovely sides (pickled garlic, jalapenos, and chili oil). I got #5 (Dai Mi nam Vang), and I love the chewy clear noodles. Mi was OK imo. Would't get the $3 Chinese donut again for the portion. Dad liked their Cafe Sua Da ($4). Hot tea was also flavorful ($1). Love these authentic spots. Simple, nothing fancy, and affordable. Fast service, and pay at the cashier. Highly recommend. read more

This place stays busy, but the staff handles the crowd well. service was both friendly and efficient. The interior is definitely on the cramped side. I tried the #2 Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang (Dry). The flavors were solid, though the sauce leaned a bit too sweet for my personal taste. However, a quick hit of Sriracha and some pickled garlic balanced it out perfectly. Overall, a very decent meal and worth a visit! read more

There is nothing I love more than a bowl of hu tieu dai...chewy, but with a gentle snap. I especially love hu tieu kho (dry). The traditional bowl here is nam vang (Cambodian style). Noodles are seasoned with seasoned oil and fortified soy sauce. The bowl is then topped with poached shrimp, boiled pork, quail eggs, various offal, crispy pork skin, herbs and a ton of black pepper. It's served with the house broth on the side with some fish cake. There's pickled garlic and hot sauce on the table for a choose your own adventure toppings. This is an eat and go kind of place. There's no time or space to linger. Service is really efficient. These bowls are excellent and comforting. They are almost as good as the bowls my Mom made growing up. Lots of great and clean flavors. Squeeze of lime and some extra herbs and bean sprouts make it a fantastic meal. read more

Yum!! Finally got to try this place since they were closed the last time we were in OC. Came on a Saturday afternoon and waited 15 min to get seated. Small restaurant with some outdoor seating. Got the #2 and it was yummy! Pretty good and compared to SJ, you don't have to use as much broth with the noodles. Everything tasted super fresh and portions were good. They ran out of the fried donut and corn milk around 1 so would def come earlier next time. Will be back! Limited parking. read more

Too hungry to let the camera eat this time We ordered it via phone for to-go. There was credit card fee of 3% I believe. It's so immaterial and cheaper than doordash; therefore, I didn't care much. Parking is limited. The restaurant was so crowded for a Friday late lunch. Hu tieu mi xa xiu was delicious with great portion and a side of flavorful soup. The dish reminded me of Vietnam a bit. I would totally come back again. read more

Love this little mom and pop hu tieu spot! I ordered the dry egg noodles with BBQ pork (mì xá xíu) and it came with a side of soup. The noodles were savory and perfectly cooked. The soup is a great palette cleanser as well. Parking and seating are a bit limited, so definitely come outside of peak dining times. Staff are friendly and food comes out really quickly. This spot is super affordable and delicious, highly recommend coming to support this small business! read more

Excellent hu tieu (Vietnamese noodle soup). They basically have four types: nam vang (combo), seafood, beef meatball, and BBQ pork. Then you can choose your type of noodle (egg, rice, mung bean, or any combination of them), and if you want it dry or with soup. The dry is tossed with a nice savory sauce usually made with oyster sauce, and the soup is a flavorful seafood and meat broth - both are delicious! If you want to try both, order the dry since it comes with a side of broth anyway! We got the Nam Vang soup and BBQ pork dry with egg and mung bean noodles - both we delicious! We also ordered the donut (dầu cháo quẩy/youtiao/Chinese donut) which was OK - wish it was more flaky and airy. Overall great place for hu tieu! read more

If you want authentic hu tieu then this is the place to go. You have to look past the outdated restaurant and the sticky floors. Keep your eyes and taste buds strictly to the food because they truly are one of the best. It's not that big inside but people come and go quickly. The menu is simple. You can order hu tieu only or mix with egg noodles. You can order with broth or dry version. The dry version is popular and it comes with a bowl of broth on the side. We got the dry version #1 and also the broth version. Got #13 seafood broth with both egg noodle and hu tieu. It's pork broth. The dry version has a very flavorful seasoning with the ground pork and protein that you need to mix. All are $12 plus tax. read more

First time trying this place! Flavor was satisfying. Busy but little to no wait. I loved that they had the pickled garlic! When we were eating, I saw that they dumped out all the containers of sauces/chilies/pickled garlics from all the tables and washed all of the containers. I guess they do this at the end of the day everyday and refill it with fresh ones every single day! So I believe this place is not only tasty but also trustworthy! read more

I've been on the hunt for a specific Vietnamese soup with egg noodles for years -- ever since the spot I used to go to with my dad in San Diego closed down. This place is the closest I've ever gotten to it! I'm so stoked I found this spot and gave it a try! It's a small, cozy mom-and-pop shop with such a warm, family vibe. The place was packed (always a good sign) and the service was so friendly and welcoming. Mi Nam Vang was absolutely delicious! Perfectly chewy egg noodles, loved the fish cakes, shrimp, and the broth tasted like pure comfort -- my elixir to happiness. Perfect portion for a great price. The kind of spot you just want to keep coming back to. If you're craving a solid clean broth egg noodle soup, this is the one to try! read more

Decent homey spot that specializes in Hu tieu. The entire front menu is simply varieties of this. I ordered the #2 because I like 2 types of noodles. The egg and rice noodles were perfectly cooked with that elastic chewy feel and al dente bite that I enjoy. The pork slices were just okay, lean and a bit dry. Overall the dish is simple and filling but definitely lacks that omph that SGV Hu tieu places have. Definitely add the sliced garlic and pickled chilies. It makes it much better and each bite more wholesome. Super fast order to serve time. I wish the soup was hotter! It was just warm. I would definitely ask for extra hot soup. Overall 3.7/5. There was a wait around noon on Sunday. My Coming back score: 40% read more

Hu Tieu De Nhat is located in a super small plaza. It can get hard to get parking when it gets crowded. It's the same as their seating arrangement. They have a couple of tables inside and two tables outside. This place is know for their Hu Tieu noodles dishes. You can get the dish with soup or without. I prefer having the dish without soup. The menu is easy to understand and straight forward. Most of the dishes are asking what type of noodles and toppings you would like. If you don't know what to order always go with the house special. The soup is good and dipping it with their Chinese donuts is even better. The service is good. The dish comes out pretty quickly after ordering. Overall, a great place to try if you're cravings some noodles. read more

I love the mix of the two different noodle textures, and it's a good option if you want to try both! I'm usually a soup girly, but I got the dry version this time which comes with a side of broth! Glad I did because the dry version was so good and flavorful after adding all the chili oil, pickled peppers, and sauces that come at the table!

Hu Tieu De Nhat - 5. Dai Mi Nam Vang - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Was craving some Hu Tieu and stumbled upon this place! Located in a small plaza with limited parking, and the restaurant size was pretty small as well with limited indoor seating. I went on a Sunday afternoon around 11am and it was pretty busy, but we were lucky and got seated immediately. I ordered the #1 - Hu Tieu Nam Vang dry version, and my boyfriend ordered the Hu Tieu Xa Xiu soup version. Both were really good, the broth is the same by mine was on the side. Very rich and savory. The portion and meat was a little less than what I'm used to, so I do wish they gave more. The service was a typical Vietnamese restaurant where you had to reallyyyy get their attention if you needed something. But there was one woman server there was really kind and seemed like she was carrying the entire team lol Overall though, it was a solid bowl of hu tieu and I'd come back if I was ever craving some! :) read more
