My friend ordered the Lomo Salgado and as a Peruvian myself, I was really happily surprised by their take on it! It was delicious!! And the Ají was not spicy but so yummy. The place is really cool and fun, seems very new! I look forward to coming here again in the summer, when I can take advantage of the outdoor seating!

Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! 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. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

The best pho in OC hands down…read more Came in Sunday afternoon for lunch, lots of parking but busy! Be prepared for parking and maybe to wait. Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. 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. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.

No matter what day or time, there seemed to be a crowd waiting to get in. Eventually, someone told us it was a seafood restaurant that specializes in snails. Since I don't really eat snails, I was a little hesitant at first. But one night, we noticed it wasn't quite as busy and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the snails, and everything was absolutely delicious. The seafood was incredibly fresh, the herbs and seasonings were fragrant and flavorful, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. Even the snails won me over! Honestly, this is probably one of the best seafood restaurants we've ever tried. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions, which makes it an even better value. Now we've become regulars and probably eat here at least once every couple of weeks. If you've been driving by wondering what all the hype is about, trust me, it's worth checking out!

I stopped by for an early dinner on my way back to San Diego last weekend. My friend and I each got the bulgogi garlic noodles (I added the egg but for $2.50 not sure it added a lot of flavor or value to the dish), shared the wings and an order fries. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee on the cashier's recommendation--good suggestion, nice flavor without an overpowering amount of sugar. The wings were fantastic. Fries were fair, good portions and flavorful. I liked the noodles but weren't blown away. Everything was very soft, not a lot of textural change. The portion was generous with lots of bulgogi beef. The service was great--friendly and responsive. They have a small lot which was fine at 530pm on Sunday but probably problematic at lunch or normal dinner hours. My one complain was dirty dining room. Maybe it was just after the lunch rush, but the tables and floor could have used some wiping and the trash cans were full. Nice easy meal stop off the freeway at Orange.

Brodard Chateau gave our group of eight the most unforgettable dining…read moreexperience we could have asked for, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. We were celebrating a very dear friend's 40th birthday and wanted her table to feel extra special. I reached out ahead of time to ask if we could bring our own tablecloth, dinner plate ware, and small florals to dress the table, very minimal -- and not only did they say yes, they were genuinely accommodating and warm about it. We had offered to handle all the cleanup ourselves (scraping off the food and taking it off, bringing home all the dirty dishes), but our waiter Vu went far above and beyond: after dinner, he offered to take our decorative plates to the kitchen to have them washed -- and they came back warm, dry, and spotless. That single gesture said everything about the kind of person he is and the culture of this restaurant. Vu was attentive, thoughtful, and made our entire table feel cared for all evening. The manager also stopped by a couple of times to check on us, which was such a lovely touch. When I had requested a quieter, more private area of the restaurant with less foot traffic, they delivered exactly that -- a cozy corner that felt like it was just ours for the night. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was wonderful. We also brought a homemade matcha cake from Sugar Farm Bakery, and we offered Vu and his team a slice -- they came back out to rave about it and thank us, which just warmed our hearts. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like family. Whether you're coming for the incredible food or looking for the perfect place to host a meaningful celebration, Brodard Chateau is it. We are so grateful and will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend!

Usually we would have to wait for a table but this time we were able to be seated right away…read more Must order is their Nam Neung Spring rolls. The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good. There is also a dessert display in the front where you check in which we haven't tried yet.

I understand it's a salad but damn the ratio of watercress to "beef" is insane. The salt and pepper shrimp was also good and the sauce that paired with it had a spicy kick! They've got a big menu so I def want to come back to try their other items! Service was great. Everyone was very helpful and communicative and appreciated any feedback we had. Felt very welcoming!
