    My friend told me about this spot so we went to try it out. There's a good amount of parking, but I imagine it getting busy. There's a good amount of tables inside. I tried the garlic noodles with shaken beef and filet mignon The meat was good but some bites were rough to tear off. The garlic noodles were thin which I liked compared to other spots. The overall dishes were really good. Service was quick and they were friendly. I definitely want to come back.

    Update, I got the sizzling plate With grilled halibut garlic butter. OMG it was so good! They are always quick with their service and the food comes out hot, sizzling and incredibly tasty. Family owned business super friendly and the prices are all super reasonable. I can appreciate establishments like this and I will support them. Disregard the have eaten plate. I am so hungry. I forgot to snap the photo of the hell of it

    I was near Westminister, so I had to stop by Khoʻi Hung and try the viral garlic ribeye. The place is in a strip mall and parking is tight. The restaurant is large inside, and clean and bright. I was seated at a booth and there were only 3 other tables dining since it was between lunch and dinner. The interior is decorated in an ocean theme. My good came out of the kitchen quickly. The spring rolls showed up first. They were good sized, with shrimp and veggies. The problem was the rice paper wrapping was tough and dry. They weren't freshly made. The peanut sauce was good. Next came the garlic ribeye on a sizzling platter!! The presentation is so nice. This steak comes out steaming and sizzling and smelling like a million bucks! The meat is tender and the garlic cloves are mild. It could use some seasoning, but a bit of soy sauce does help.

    We've been here once before years ago. It's been a while but I was craving their garlic buttery sizzling iron skillet ribeye steak. We ordered that along with frog legs, soft shell crab, chicken wings, 2 bowls of seafood udon noodles, and filet mignon shaking beef with red rice. We also had Thai iced teas and fresh squeezed orange juice and coconut juice. The ribeye was delicious, the star of the meal. Tender and buttery, sizzling upon arrival. The frog legs were huge, as were the wings. Nothing special about them. They were not marinated or seasoned at all. Just fried crispy. Same thing with the soft shell crab which came 3 per order, except they weren't fried crispy. They stayed soft, and almost soaked up the oil. Again, not seasoned. Everything fried was served with a salt, pepper and lime/lemon dipping sauce. The filet mignon shaking beef had too much of a soy sauce base sauce, and was much more salty rather than savory, which I found off putting. The seafood udon was really good and had a delicious hearty base with balls of minced crab/shrimp in it. The udon noodles were larger and slipperier than normal, but still really good. The Thai iced teas were okay... a little on the sweet side. The fresh squeezed orange juice was really good though, as was the fresh coconut juice served in the actual coconut. The Vietnamese auntie that served us was really sweet too. If we do come back in the the future, we'll skip the fried stuff and go for the sizzling steaks, and pass on the shaking beef.

    The restaurant felt really homey when I come in and sat down. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Even though there was a big birthday party sat in a whole section, they were still very prompt with service and checked on me a few times during my visit. For lunch I ordered a calamari and ribeye steak. My ribeye steak came out sizzling and covered in garlic on a bed of onions. I loved cutting the steak and smearing the garlic over every bite. The steak came with a baguette or some rice. I ordered both haha. The bread was good but the rice with the sauce and steak was the star. I ended taking the bread home. The calamari was very crispy and had thick cuts of squid. I really enjoyed it with the sauce and ended up eating the peppers that came with the calamari with the steak. This place makes my top 3 Bo Ne in so cal. Definitely coming back because I hear they have an amazing chicken skins dish!

    We were craving for halibut and came here for dinner last night. Foods still amazing. Price is the same but protein portion is smaller now. We used to get two (2) pieces of fish per order but only got one piece now. Service still very good. Note: your clothes and hair will have this lingering smell of their foods because majority of their dishes are served on their sizzling skillets!

    Shaken beef with garlic noodles and side salad
    Vivian T.

    Khoi Hung has the BEST sizzling steak platters and shaken beef (bo luc lac)! The meat is super tender and love that they do garlic noodles instead of rice for the shaken beef! Super flavorful and it comes with a yummy side salad too. The price is super reasonable and the food is fresh. Food takes a while to come out, but the staff are very kind and the food is well worth it!

    Table with lots of flat screens all over the restaurant

    Two of us decided to try Khoi Hung Restaurant since we both love meat. Service is very friendly! The restaurant is traditional Vietnamese that serves variety of traditional dishes with fusion take of steaks. Vibe is welcoming and love the flat screens all around the store. The menu is simple. We tried #11 Com Bo Luc Lac which is shaken beef with red rice. The meat is tender the sauce is on the sweeter side. And #12 filet mignon: rare with black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce is not as strong or fragrant as we like. Maybe garlic butter is better choice. The meat is tender on the steak too. We enjoyed the lunch and food here. It's more Asian take of steak and traditional food. Good size and portions.

    Absolutely amazing and delicious ribeye steak with butter and garlic. Flavor really good with the butter and garlic and bed of onions. The dipping sauce flavorful and goes great with the red rice. I recommend scooping some of butter garlic and onions onto the red rice. The portion size really good too, it also comes with a side salad and option of red rice or fries. I recommend getting the ribeye steak with butter and garlic and red rice!! You wont be disappointed

    Delicious food! Great value, kind family, great food. The sauce for the chicken was amazing.

    Soft-Shell Crab Seuteed with Garlic Butter

    This place is hands down one of the biggest hidden gems in Orange County. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant feels cozy and welcoming. There's plenty of seating, TVs to keep you entertained, and the overall vibe is relaxed and comfortable. It wasn't too loud at all, which made it easy to actually enjoy the food and conversation. The service was excellent. All of the staff were extremely nice and attentive, checking up on us often. We ordered the Shaken Beef Rice along with French fries on the side, and it was amazing. The beef was incredibly tender and full of flavor, literally melting in your mouth with every bite. The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Simple, but done right. We also ordered the Ribeye with Garlic Butter and got the black peppercorn sauce on the side. The ribeye was delicious, packed with flavor, and not dry at all. It was cooked medium rare perfectly and came out on a hot sizzling skillet, which made it even better. The garlic butter was well balanced and didn't overpower the steak. As for the appetizers, another standout was the chicken skin chips. I believe it was still new and it wasn't on the menu yet as it was on the wall. They were extremely crispy with a good amount of spice, maybe a little on the spicy side but still very enjoyable. The dipping sauce was very unique and paired really well with the chicken. We also tried the soft-shell crab sautéed with garlic butter. The first few bites on the outside seemed a little dry at first, but once you get closer to the body and head of the crab, it becomes very juicy and flavorful. It tasted fresh and ocean like in a good way, and the dipping sauce they provide was perfect with the crab. My girlfriend and I ended up finishing all of the food, which we almost never do. That alone says how good everything was. The prices were absolutely worth it for the quality, the service was great, and overall this place is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back soon. Another true hidden gem in OC.

    Garlic & Butter Filet Mignon | IG @moniquedao

    Dined here for the first time today and had a great experience. The garlic butter ribeye was absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and with just the right amount of fat, exactly the way I like it. The garlic butter filet mignon was also excellent if you prefer a leaner cut of steak. Clumsy me accidentally touched the hot skillet and burned my finger while moving it around. One of the staff members noticed right away and was incredibly attentive. She advised me to dip my finger in the cup of ice water, gave me some ice and brought me another water for drinking. When I asked if they had any burn cream, she went to check and later came back to let me know they had run out. I appreciated her effort and care. All in all, the food was great, the service was wonderful, and the staff was genuinely attentive. I'll definitely be back for more delicious steak!

    I honestly didn't like this place the first time I tried it awhile back.. went back to try it again and I actually loved everything. Ribeye with red rice and salad: 10/10 So good. I asked for my steak medium rare, and it came out perfectly cooked. Meat was soft. Came with a sweet soy sauce. Paired perfectly with the rice. The salad was refreshing with their light vinegar dressing. Com Ga Roti: 10/10 Fried chicken was as good as $1.99.

    Do they accept credit card?

    Yes with a surcharge

    Are you open for business? I visited the other day and you were closed during the middle of the day. Thank you.

    I remember calling to get food to go and i think they were gone on vacation for lunar new year, should be back in a few days.

    Is it run by the new family now? Seems like it changed owners last year?

    Same owner, same chef

    Is it easy to find a parking lot, Thanks?

    Your question doesn't make sense to answer.

    As of November 5, how many tables do they have outside and how many people does each table seat? Also, how many tables do they have inside and how many people can sit at one table?

    As of August 9th, 2021, there are no tables outside.

    How is the bun rieu here?

    In my opinion it's ok

    One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything…read moreshellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
