    C2. BANH NAM
    Jacqueline N.

    This unsuspecting restaurant serves up some of the more Vietnamese classics that you don't see often in the 626! Items like Banh Nam, Banh Ram It, Banh Uot Thit Noung are especially delicious and are quite satisfying when you don't want broken rice or pho. There's plentiful parking with a large lot to the right side of the restaurant. We ordered the Banh Uot which came hot and soft, the juicy grilled meat + mint leaf pairing very well with a mild peanut sauce. This dish really reminded me of my childhood days during large gatherings with all the cousins, aunties, and uncles haha. The Banh Nam (my mom likes to call them Vietnamese tamales) were so soft and practically melts in your mouth with the fish sauce. Everything is shareable and was quickly devoured!! Overall if you're hankering for some other classic Viet dishes, look no further! Final Verdict: Authentic!

    I came here specifically for one item. Their Banh Uot Thit Nuong. Food: Banh Uot - The first time I've had this, I was blown away by the smooth rice paper and sweet pork. Kim Hoa Hue serves a decent version of this. The meat is lemon grass grilled pork. I prefer the other place I went to in OC, but their take on this is not bad at all. Pho - Small bowl compared to competitors. It tasted okay, but nothing special. Papaya salad - Lacks a refreshing touch Service: Service was a bit slow (I dined in once). Weekday to go order, I had no issues. Environment: Limited parking lot spaces. If you're coming here on a weekend, it might be a bit of a challenge. On weekdays there should be plenty of parking in the street. It's fairly new inside. Decor is nice. Place looks clean. Price: I think it is well priced on certain items and expensive for others. The pho was pretty small for it to run $16-$18. Food: 4 Service: 3 Environment: 4 Price: 3

    Banh Canh Hue - udon-like noodle soup with pork and shrimp
    Edward S.

    Kim Hoa Hue serves up Central Vietnamese dishes such as Bun Bo Hue, Banh Nam, and Banh Canh. They opened up this new location in Temple City about a year ago. These imperial dishes are so good, you'll really want to keep coming back for more. Bun Mit Mam Nem: This is a bowl of dry rice vermicelli noodles on top of crisp leafy lettuce that bursts with sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy flavors. The mam nem sauce contains fermented anchovy paste, mixed garlic, and crushed pineapples, and citrus, which packs a potent pungent funk. The sauce is the hearty and soul and you'll want it to coat all the ingredients to achieve the proper taste sensation. The main proteins are jackfruit, shrimp, and slices of pork meatloaf. The shrimp and jackfruit are chopped to complement the oceanic notes of the sauce. The soft and sweet jackfruit also taste like bits of crab. In addition to the squishy ingredients, the fried garlic bits, toasted peanuts, and cilantro add fresh and crunchy textural contrast to the bowl. Com Hen: Here's another tasty bowl of vibrant flavors and strong textures. There's rice above a base of lettuce and spongy/crunchy elephant ears. On top are a bunch of tiny clams. Pork cracklings and toasted peanuts add crunch while julienned apples provide sweetness. A separate bowl of hot clam broth that you add to the rice. Banh Canh Hue: The thick udon-like noodles are in a gloopy tomato-based soup with pork and shrimp meat cakes. It's nice, but it can be a bit one-note. Dining Area: The interior is modern and spacious with around a dozen tables. Parking: The lot is super tiny, but there's ample street parking out front.

    I saw this Vietnamese restaurant when walking home from the gym. I never really thought to try it until my brother suggested it for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by their offerings of things that looked less common. I saw a lot of "Hue" style in the dish names. I went for a beef salad dish that had beef slices and banana flowers. I think the flowers were deep fried. And I think they put shallots and some other herbs. It had a sauce that kind of tasted like honey mustard mixed with fish sauce. Overall it was quite yummy. The beef does have some tendon in it. I also tried the goi cuon (spring roll) that is common. Theirs was adequate. My dad got a vegetarian dish (V3 on menu) and it was vermicelli with a bunch of things like mushroom and what I believe is vegetarian pork. I tried a bite and it tastes like some of the Buddhist vegetarian food I've had in the past. Very umami with the mushrooms. My brother got a chicken rice dish that had a passion fruit sauce I think. It tasted like karaage a bit. It was okay to me. Overall I liked the dishes I chose for myself, and their prices are quite good. The beef dish was only $11! I would say this place is worthy of being a hidden gem. It's got the hallmarks of a mom and pop ethnic restaurant with some misspellings and a not very aesthetic menu. But the interior is very clean cut, with that scent that reminds you of an ethnic restaurant. I would gladly come back again to try their other dishes.

    I used to go to their old location on Garvey ave. Glad to see they opened a new location here. Always enjoy this type of foods. It is not your run of the mill Pho restaurants you find all over. This is a unique type of restaurant serving Hue style of dishes. Wish we have more of this type of foods. Anyways, glad to have found their new location. Went here one weekend with my family. There are plenty of parking next door. There's also parking on the street if you are lucky. The inside is fairly new. Very bright and nicely decorated with that great fish tank. Staffs were friendly. Greeted us and sat us down promptly. Gave us the menu and water. We ordered the Banh Beo Chen, Hue Combo #1, and Mi Quang. All dishes were so good. Enjoyed every bites. Family like it as well. Would definitely come back again to try their other dishes.

    Was craving a bowl of noodle soup and stumbled upon this restaurant in Temple City. Ordered the Bun Bo Hue and Banh Uot Thit Nuong Bun Bo Hue: one of the better ones I've had and this featured a lot of meat and delicious flavor in comparison to like Nha Trang. I did add a little bit of the satay sauce I think it was that was on the table and it made it even better. Would definitely come back just for this. Banh Thit Nuong: first time ordering this and was surprised at how much pork was in each. Good flavor profile and enjoyed the dipping sauce that was provided. Service was the usual, asked for things and it was quickly attended to. Went in on a Sunday early evening so the restaurant wasn't very busy.

    Rice rolls with grilled pork and mint leaf. Mint leaf very mild. Dipped in very special sauce

    4 stars and not 5 mainly because as non Vietnamese, it's very hard to read and understand the menu. It's located across not too far from Bistro Na. Thought about not trying that hard to enjoy a meal but I really like their young fresh jackfruit salad. We tried 3 dishes today and all very very nice. Very friendly staff. Clean inside. See pics

    This is my second time coming. The first try I got their small bun Bo hue. Second time I ordered their large. There's more protein with the large and I will come again soon!! The best bun Bo hue I've had. Very friendly service too and plenty of seating if you choose to dine in. It can be a little warm in there sometimes as I was there to pick up at the end of the day. But around opening it's normal. ambiance is good for families!

    I wanted to love this place, since I've been craving bun Bo hue and there's no good places around me. This is a lot closer than going to Orange County. However OC still proves to be the only place for great quality bun bo hue. This place's broth tastes a little off to me. It's delicious don't get me wrong, just missing some bun Bo hue flavor? Im not sure how else to describe it. The service was also pretty bad, but that's expected of a Vietnamese restaurant lol

    Got pick up from here. Really fast service that's also friendly. I thought the food was good, but not memorable

    Pauline A.

    Good Vietnamese food, I enjoyed everything I ordered. The crab noodle soup had so much flavor and I like how chewy the noodles were. The banh xeo was different than what I'm used to but in a good way. I will come back soon!

    Found them on yelp. I love their bun Bo hue. One of the best I have ever tasted. Their yoghurt is amazing too.

    There's plenty of street parking, the restaurant is clean, and the service is great. The BBH was fantastic--tender meat, flavorful broth, and the chili oil was exceptional. They offer a variety of rice rolls, some of which I had never tried before. It's a great spot if you're in the mood for Vietnamese food, with a taste that feels like something a grandmother would make at home. It really gave off a cozy, homey vibe.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

    Okay so I'll be the first to admit -- this place has been sitting right under my nose for who knows…read morehow long and somehow I never made it in. Honestly? Embarrassing. Moving on. So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

Each sip has layers -- a gentle sweetness, a slow-building spice, and the kind of depth that tells you someone spent hours coaxing flavor out of bones and aromatics. The noodles are thick and satisfyingly chewy, perfect for catching the broth. The slices of beef shank, brisket, and sometimes tender pork hock add hearty richness, while the chả Huế brings that peppery snap. A squeeze of lime brightens everything, and the fresh herbs -- especially rau răm -- give each bite a fragrant lift. It's the kind of bowl that feels both rustic and refined: comforting, bold, and unapologetically flavorful. A true standout for anyone who loves Vietnamese cuisine.
