Always a good deal here. Ready-made meals are ~$10, and spend $20+ and you get a free Ca Phe Sua Da. Hard to complain! Can be a bit chaotic in the mornings as everyone is rushing to get the meals right as they come out, so I'd recommend coming in later in the afternoon if you don't mind food that's been sitting out for a bit. read more

Unfortunately, the quality seems to have declined significantly compared to earlier this year. The chicken curry was especially disappointing. The broth tasted more like chicken soup with a light hint of curry powder rather than a flavorful curry. The chicken and carrots tasted as though they had been cooked separately and combined afterward, resulting in a dish that lacked depth and seasoning. The Vietnamese coffee was another letdown. It used to have the rich, bold, sweet flavor you'd expect, but this time it tasted overly harsh and bitter, as if it was made primarily with dark roast coffee and evaporated milk, with little to no condensed milk. Based on these two items, it feels like corners may be getting cut, whether in ingredients or preparation. I also purchased the braised catfish, sweet and sour soup, bitter melon soup, and braised ribs, but after this experience, I'm hesitant about what to expect. It's disappointing because this business showed a lot of promise and delivered much better quality in the past. I hope the owners take a closer look at consistency and food preparation, as I'd love to see it return to the standard that originally made me a customer. read more

There is no menu and they struggle with languages outside of Vietnamese. Prices are who knows what and you don't really know what's for sale today. There are dishes pre-packed and a mound of spring rolls when you walk in. Pick up or point at what you want. They struggle to answer questions, don't do well with orders outside the norm, and aren't that helpful. read more

I've come here for the panini Banh mi before and it's fine. My mom wanted some food Togo for others, so we made a "quick trip". We got there maybe at 5:15-5:30.. but we didn't get the order til 6pm. If you know what you want, def call in your order. They took forever to give us 3 bowls. They have a variety of Viet home foods like thit Kho, sweet and sour fish soup, seafood Banh canh, chicken with egg noodle, caramelized shrimp and pork, some fish dish, etc.. at the end of the night they only had sweet sticky rice available. All this for between $8-$10 is a steal in today's economy! But time is money and if you got hungry kids at home, pls call in your order lol Bun Bo hue $9 something! Decent amount of meat, good for one serving. Broth def leans on the sweeter side, will prolly add in my own chili oil next time. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while. A few of my friends have said that they have pretty good to go items, Vietnamese home-cooked type meals. You won't find at your traditional pho restaurant. The people serving hair don't speak a lot of English so they are very good at the native language This was a former tip top sandwiches before it went out of business. The restaurant itself had a steady stream of customers. I ordered canh chua ca which is a traditional, hot and sour catfish soup filled with vegetable vegetables. For six dollars you can't ask for more heck you can't even get a burger for less than that nowadays and this meal is much healthier than anything I can think about for $6. They had a bunch of hot foods to go packaged up for about five dollars to seven dollars each depending on what you get. I'll swing by and get a couple of items and just have a piping hot rice bowl at home to try. I would come back. read more

This place use to be ok for the price, but quality went way down hill. In the past month I experience food poisoning from their new soup cua recipe (crab egg soup). Another day I decided to grab the soun kho to take to work for lunch, but didn't realized till my lunch break that there was a fly in my food. When new food items are place on the counter for grab n go the food is already not hot, so who knows when it was prep. read more

Not too shabby especially for the prices. This Lac Viet location is a bit different than the one near Asian Garden Mall in Bolsa that does Banh Mi, Bo Ne(Sizzling Steak + Eggs Skillet), & Com Tam(Broken Rice Dish). This location focuses also on Banh Mi but also a lot of smaller portions of Vietnamese dishes like Thit Kho & Egg (Caramalized Pork/Egg) & Canh Chua(Sweet/Sour Soup) that are packaged & ready for takeout for around $5-6 each! Overall the food was okay, the Banh Mi Heo Quay (Crispy Pork Belly) was a bit too oily & the bread was a bit too hard. I do love that this allows people to try other favorite dishes in Vietnamese cuisine at a reasonable price, instead of having to hard commit to 1 big dish. Overall if not a bad choice, but if you can afford to pay a little more, I'd go to all the other amazing places for specialities! read more

Lac Viet Concepts gives me that nostalgic home-cooked feeling I miss living alone. Their single-serving dishes for about $6 to $7 taste like something from a family kitchen. My favorites were the tomato meatballs, braised basa fish, and beef stew with rice. The canh chua was a little sweet for my taste. I came in the morning hoping for bun bo hue, but it is only served after 2 PM. The screen menu also did not match what was actually available. You simply pick from the dishes set out that day. The service is friendly, the space is clean, and the Vietnamese coffee is strong and very good. It is a great spot when you want simple and comforting Vietnamese food. read more

What first drew us here was that Ube coffee is $3.45 and Sea salt coffee is also $3.45! At first, I thought the low price was an opening special, but it has stayed the same price until now. It's Vietnamese coffee so it's very, very strong. One weekend, I spent $20 there and got a free drink (promo only applies on weekends). The second draw is your choice of 3 spring rolls for $6.75. They are packed with fresh veg and come with an excellent dipping sauce. Sometimes, they sell out in the afternoon. Our favorites are the marinated pork, shrimp, and beef. I'm not a fan of the sausage and egg one. Third, they have very affordable to-go dishes. They have chicken noodle with soup (filling for a meal) for $7.50, braised catfish (great flavor) for $5, and sweet&sour fish soup (very much on the sweet side) for $5. Just know that the names of the dishes are all in Vietnamese on the menu, display and kiosk. The line can be very confusing with people lining up but others walking up to the employees at the counter. read more

Food quality has been clearly declining since the first day. Cheap price goes hand in hand with low quality ingredients. Some ingredients were not fresh and stale, i.e. the shrimp in thick soup has a little sour taste and the texture was mushy, not firm any more. If continues going downtrend like this, I guess I will not see it survive for too long. However, plus side, servers are always welcoming and friendly. read more

Such fair prices for fast food to-go! The banh mi is simple with mayonnaise and bbq pork. They put the pickled veggies on the side for you. The ragu is decent, not the best but for $7 can't complain too much. My favorite thing to get is the porked stuffed tofu, everytime I come i have to order it. It's fast and only cost $5! Recently tried the Ube coffee, it's decent. The Ube foam has a nice purple color, but the flavor isn't strong. I think I will try the sea salt coffee next! There's plenty of parking spots in the lot, but the line could take a few minutes. A lot of elders like to cut the line, but what can you do about it? It's modern inside, there's a bench and bar-table inside. The outside has umbrellas for you to sit at. read more

Lac Viet Concepts - Large Sharp Plastic Found!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Was getting new tires next door and figured I would grab an early lunch while waiting. Came in not knowing what to expect, but I knew it would be good as I saw a large amount of old guys out front eating and chain smoking - for some this is a deterrence, but to me this is the bat signal for tasty Viet food. ;) The ambiance is clean and new on the inside. It's a "to-go" type situation, but there's plenty of seating out front to assemble the food and eat there. I ended up trying their Bun Bo Hue, and I must say that for a grab and go style place the quality once put together was quite good! I've had this dish served to me at sit down places that wasn't as good as here. If you're eating here expect the full experience, there will be a lot of loud talking, cigarette smoke, and the occasional Viet homeless guy, but to me is this part of the charm. Or just get it to go if that's not your vibe - I don't judge. ;) The service was quick and friendly, as one would expect at such a place. In all I'd certainly return if I needed some Viet dishes on the run. :) read more

Errrrr. I would give this place a 1.5. It was bad but I appreciated the refund. I was in the area around 1pm on a Sunday and all nearby food shops seemed to be so busy. I really was just looking for a place to work from the laptop for a few hours and get a drink and a snack. Ended up at lac viet as the last choice. The line was out the door and it was going very slow. After 5 minutes of waiting I decided to just go over to the kiosk. I noticed they didn't have certain items on the kiosk and they charge for using a card. Thats not great. After ordering i sat down to wait and watched all the commotion at this store. It was busy and I wondered if it recently opened so they didn't have their systems down. I also watched them make my ube coffee and was disappointed that the coffee wasnt store made and came from a jug and only their cream seemed to be made in-store. This is why their coffee and food items are so low-priced because you're not paying for quality here. My order came out in about 10 minutes and I went outside to one of the tables to set up. I was disappointed again when I saw that my crab soup not only had chicken meat in it (which was not advertised anywhere on the menu) and it was cold as hell. They didn't even bother heating it up. Since I only eat seafood and not meat, I wrapped everything up and went back inside to get a refund. I explained the situation and although I was offered something else, I decided to go with the refund because they don't even heat up their soups! I appreciate the quick refund but I literally ended up driving down the street to freaking McDonald's to grab a drink and some fries instead. That's just sad. I wanted to like this place but unfortunately I cannot. read more

Ordered two drinks, the ube coffee and the boba milk tea. Waited for about 15 minutes for my order to be called out, but also noticed that almost everyone who ordered before and after me already got their orders. I headed to the cashier to ask what had happened to my order, and they had apparently lost it amidts the chaos The cashier was kind though, and immediately made my drinks. I understand that it's very busy (lines and customers coming in and out) and that they also sell food, but: 1) There were more than 6 workers and sometimes the workers either seem lost or wander aimlessly. 2) Their work efficiency seemed lacking and they seemed disorganized; I would recommend having at least one person at a designated station at all times. 3) Drinks are already pre-made, so it should not take more than 10 minutes for orders where one just pours or adds ice. I must say, I do enjoy their coffee and the price for it, but this experience makes me a bit hesitant to order here again. To re-iterate, I do understand that it's busy and hectic, but there should be better organization and efficiency for the sake of both the workers and customers! ....Or maybe I shouldn't have ordered at the kiosk, and should have ordered at the register with an actual person so my ordered wouldn't get lost read more

This is the old location of Tip Top Bakery. This location serves various hot foods, spring rolls, banh mi, and drinks. No Com Tam. The prices are pretty competitive, but the food quality is in par with what you pay. I was excited to get a $5-6 banh mi heo quay sandwich, but it literally was ALL FAT. The pork belly was really just belly sadly. I'd avoid the sandwiches. They also are pre-made or batch made, the plus of that is you get your sandwich right away. The banh cuon was $6/plate, but the portion was pretty small and the cha Lua was a bit full of fillers. Staff do the best that they can, but do expect to wait in lines at times because of the volume of people. I'd come back to see if some of the other dishes are better because there are some comfort food items. read more

My husband and I tried this spot on a Sunday morning. This is a take out spot but they do have some tables and chairs outside. We loved how limited their menu was! It seems that once the item is sold out, that's it for the day. We wanted to try the chicken curry or beef stew (Bo Kho) but they ran out that day. We got the banh mi which came with grilled lemongrass pork. Their banh mi style seemed to be flat (almost like a panini) but very flavorful and still yummy! The beef ragu was another type of beef stew which came with a plain banh mi to eat with. It was okay. The sweet corn sticky rice was pretty good. Now the coffee- I loved both the Ube and salted coffee! read more

Very disappointed with the food. I didn't realized it was a prepackaged lunchbox type food. Everything was cold and has no flavor. Got the banh hoi heo quay and mi sao heo quay and we couldn't it at all. The heo quay was too fatty and cold. Very nice people at the restaurant but I rather it at a sit-down restaurant with hot food serve at the table. read more

I've been searching for places to get Vietnamese food to go since my normal take out spot - Kim Huong - is closed for a month (vacation). Lac Viet popped up on Yelp, so I decided to check them out early Sunday morning. Parking lot was half full - so I imagine it only gets worse later in the day, especially on the weekend. Only half of their prepared food dishes were available - when I asked about personal favorites like Thit Trung Kho, or Xoi Man - I was told that those dishes aren't ready until closer to Noon. Yea - not planning to come back here during that time to deal with the crowds. There's a kiosk that takes card (with a 3% fee if total is under $15) - but if you notice on the photo I took, half the items were grayed out (unavailable) - such as the spring rolls. In another photo I shared, you can see a full display of several types of spring rolls ready to order - so not sure how accurate the kiosk is. I waited in the relatively short line to order with a clerk. The space is clean, bright, and has shelves of fresh, prepared food. There is even a microwave for customers to reheat their food. Since my two favorites weren't available yet, I picked up a bowl of Mi Tron Heo Quay (Egg Noodles with Crisp Pork Belly - $8.45) - which comes with a separate container of soup. This was a good dish that I enjoyed later in the day - there is a good proportion of pork belly, two shrimps, half of an egg, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I also picked up a bowl of Lagu Bo (Beef Stew with Veggies - $6.95). This dish comes with a side of french bread - perfect to dip in the thick red broth. There are three generous cuts of beef shank, perfectly soft carrots and potatoes. I liked this dish. It's a good ratio of protein to veggies to broth for the price. For breakfast, I ordered three spring rolls ($8.75) and a Cafe Sua Da ($3.50). The spring rolls were great - although much more pricier than the displayed price of $5.50. The clerk told me the lower price was for the Bi Cuon only. Since my order was over $30, the clerk said I also get two free cups of Nuoc Mia (Sugar Cane drink) - but after a few sips when I got home, I dumped both cups after my housemates didn't want either of them. I'll have to ask if I can sub those drinks for something else next time. While the prices are fair - some are a great value for some items, other items are more pricier (like the spring rolls) - what Lac Viet really gets right is the presentation. Everything is in very nice packaging (for Vietnamese takeout food) - the bowls are solid, with lids that actually prevent spillage on the drive home. Their bags remind me of the fancy totes that Vietnamese bakeries give out when you buy mooncakes. Their cups (at least for the nuoc mia) is well designed and also has a secure lid. I know they also have a spot over on Bolsa right next to Kang Lac bakery - but everyone knows that parking lot sucks over there - so I'm happy there is this spot here. Will definitely come back sometime and try out their Thit Trung Kho and Xoi Man! read more

My mom was telling me about Lac Viet Concepts on Bolsa near the Asian Garden Mall. I popped Lac Viet into my navigation and two different addresses appeared. I picked the one on Brookhurst since I knew the parking on Bolsa was probably crap. I guess this is their second location since my mom didn't even know about it. She had visited the other one due to a recommendation from my dad's friend. My husband and I stopped in during the lunch hours and ordered the banh mi. Apparently, they have a display with the food available that day. The sandwiches aren't in the display case but I asked if they had them and they did. I ordered two banh mi thit nuong to go with the pickled vegetables on the side and was handed two elegantly wrapped sandwiches. The vegetables were indeed separate as instructed. The two sandwiches were $10 plus tax. It was a decent deal and a good sandwich. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside while being chewy on the inside. The grilled pork was okay and my husband really enjoyed it. I think I would have gone with a different protein myself. Check them out before the food runs out. I did tell my mom where the second location is now that the secret's out. read more

The store is organized and mostly clean. I highly recommend to use the Self-Checkout machines (card only) on the left side. You can input, pay, pack your own food including rice, bread, napkins and utensils. I found it so much faster than standing in line to pay with cash. They have everything for you at the Self-Checkout station. The food was a little sweet for me. The flavors are ok, nothing stands out really. But if you are on a budget or need a quick meal, you can't beat their prices. Coffee at $3.50 is good. Will come back and try the rest. read more

Had to wait 30 minutes for a small to go order. Looks like they cook to go orders from scratch. This place is disorganized, the worst slow and wait food in the world. Bun bo Hue is only $10 but the broth is waaaaay too sweet, hard to eat. It comes with lots of pork skin, 1 small slice of beef, no blood curl. I ordered 2 servings of braised cat fish but they packed braised pork instead, also waaaay too sweet without the caramel flavor, hard to eat. Combining all factors, this place is not worth coming back to. read more

Came here on Friday afternoon to find out that the place was closed at 3:00 pm. So I tried again today, Saturday, and got there earlier. Fortunately, there was no one in line when I got there. Most everything were gone. I got 3 rolls combo, savory sticky rice with braised fish, sweet sticky rice with coconut milk, 3 shrimp and crab soups, a curry chicken and a beef stew. All for less than $60! They ran out of the soup but told me if I wanted to wait, there should be some in about an hour. I decided to wait and go outside to eat lunch. Sticky rice with braised fish was good. I was afraid it would be fishy but it was not. I also had a few bites of sweet sticky rice and it was okay since it was cold and not chewy as I was hoping. I took it home and heated it up in the microwave later and it was so much better. Also shared the spring rolls with my sister and we thought they were good. The grilled pork one was full of chargrilled flavor but a bit fatty for me. I pulled all the fat out. The dipping sauce was excellent. I believe it was shrimp sauce. They mixed it well so it had a perfect taste. The soup, we took them home and heated it up, added some asparagus spears and that was very delicious. My sisters ordered the beef stew and curry chicken and have not eaten them yet so I'm not sure what they taste like. I did open the container for the beef stew to look and noticed it has mostly shank & fat and little lean meat. Definitely a return visit soon. Note: the outside of the restaurant is full of homeless people in that parking lot so be careful navigating through there. read more

On weekdays, they're pretty quick. On weekends though? Expect a long wait as they are completely slammed (Not their fault, it's just a lot of people showing up at the same time), so please be patient. Everyone there is super nice and try to be as quick as they can. I ordered the savory xoi and the crab soup. As good as the xoi man was, the crab soup was my favorite of the two because of how comforting the taste was. It's thick, which is how I like my crab soup, and flavorful. If I were sick or didn't have an appetite, this would be my go to so I can eat something. Highly recommend their crab soup. The prices were also very low, so you get a comforting taste for a good price. read more

The restaurant offers good prices and solid food quality. The staff works hard, but they run the front inefficiently during busy periods. When I visited, pickup orders piled up, and the cashier packed orders, answered phone calls, and prepared drinks at the same time. They told me my canh chua would take five minutes, but I waited nearly thirty. Even at 7:00 AM, they did not move orders out quickly. Management needs to improve workflow or hire more staff. The restaurant attracts plenty of customers, but slow service limits its potential. If the kitchen cannot prepare everything by opening time, they should either *open later* or start *prep earlier*. They should not quote short wait times they cannot meet. The restaurant provides limited indoor seating but offers more outdoor tables with umbrellas. Because I value the price and food quality, I rate this place 4 stars. Without those strengths, the service delays would bring it down to 3 stars. read more
