Worth the wait. We waited about 30 minutes during Sunday lunch, but once you step inside, the atmosphere feels completely different. Even though it was busy, you can tell the team is doing their best to stay calm and provide good service. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. It also felt very family-friendly. They even offered free ice cream for the kids, which was a really nice touch. The iced tea with fresh mint leaves was also refreshing and made the experience even better. The whole place has a warm, family atmosphere. The Cơm Tấm Sườn Bì Chả was great, but the Bò Né Lạc Việt was even better. The only small suggestion would be for the pate to be a little softer. Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth the wait. read more

We went here since this is one of the place open early. It shows they open at 9. We got there around 9:30 and they didn't have the open sign turn on. We have to wait for 5 mins for the table to set up and there was no other customer in the restaurant. The food was not our type. It's very sweet including the fish sauce, the soup they came as complimentary. The concept of having side dishes is great. The tastes are. It our favorite. read more

Had to wait 45 minutes for a to go order with 2 items, then they made a mistake with the wrong dish. Food uses way too much sugar, too sweet, smells and tastes bad, not authentic, not healthy, not recommended. read more

This location is open and close a couple times and they recently open again. This time looks like the concept is the same as their Brookhust location in Garden Grove. They have food to go in small portions already in separate containers ready for pick up. All items seem to be under $10. Since they are new with this concept, not a lot of items on the counter when we visited around 9:00am in the morning on Sunday. We ordered from the counter with a nice lady and waited a few minutes for our food. The food tastes pretty much the same as their Brookhust location. They give a free steam rice container when you buy two main dishes. They also have steam buns here. No longer offering dine in just affordable food to go items. read more

I came on a Saturday around 12:30pm with surprisingly no wait for dine-in. We were looking for a new spot to try bo ne or the sizzling plate for brunch and stumbled across this place. I didn't come in with much expectation since it wasn't as highly rated as other trending places for bo ne or banh mi chao, but I'm glad I did! We ordered one bo ne and one crispy pork belly banh mi. The sizzle plate came out sizzling and the baguette on the side was warm, toasted, and super fluffy inside. Even after cooling, the bread was crisp outside and soft inside, not stale or hard at all. The sizzle plate itself seemed to be a bigger portion that I was used to, no complaints. I enjoyed the tender meat and multiple egg yolks to mix with the sauce and dip my bread in. Sauce is a little on the sweeter side. I must say, this dish has impressed me more than other places that charge +$8 for a similar, maybe less impressive dish. Will definitely be coming back for this! I only had a bite of the crispy pork banh mi, but wow, it was definitely crisp! The sauce inside the banh mi was also on the sweeter side, a tad too sweet for my liking. read more

A cozy little restaurant in a tight plaza with challenges with parking, but the reward will be worth the journey out on to Bolsa Ave.; the Bo ne here did not disappoint! Upon entering the girls at the counter make you feel very welcomed and greet you right away. They come over quickly with a bottle of iced tea to share and menus to order. Coming here in the AM post work out, I really needed some protein. I was displeased with the several other spots I stopped in for bo ne the ENTIRE WEEK, cause really?! I think all my millennial counterparts understand; all our favorites are gone :( ahem. But onto newer and better things... :) I was surprised to say the least the bo ne plate was fabulous! And the bread was so good I ate the whole thing! I was trying to stay away from carbs but it was soo well worth it. The bread was warm, fresh, has the right amount of crunchy outside and soft, pillowy inside. It went well with the sizzling plate and soaked up all the extra yummy sauce with my steak bites. I also got to try the crispy pork plate and the rice with it was so awesome!! Although I wish I could just have added the Pork to my Bo ne plate as a side, Or if they had a half and half plate in the future, hint hint ;) The sweetest part about all this is how feasible the meal was. I was utterly shocked at how the quality could be so decent with a price so low. In this economy, I am happy to find places like Lac Viet and wholeheartedly invite you to try something amazing that a business passionately puts out there for their community to enjoy and does it very well and feasibly. Thank you Lac Viet Concepts! read more

This spot is on my list of go to places in Orange county. It's a small area so there's always going to be a little bit of a wait, but it's always worth it. They only have a few things on the menu but they do it very well. Me and my girl went here at the end of our visit and I wish I found it earlier because I would come here at least once a day. The sandwiches were decent and the meat they use in all their dishes are seasoned perfectly. Whether you're stopping by to get a sandwich, a skillet, or just a coffee you won't be disappointed. read more

Lac Viet Concepts - Skillet with beef, ground beef, shrimp, cold cuts, and tomato. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

This place was recommended by friends one night, and since then we've been back several times. The prices are great, especially for the skillet meat with rice or the bánh mì. Service is decent, and the ambiance is nice, though the cleanliness could use some improvement. Still, for affordable and tasty eats, I'd definitely come back. I also heard they recently opened a new location under the Lac Viet concept, which offers a completely different menu from what's served here. read more

The good: I got mi xao kho, pork belly banh mi, banh cuon and they gave us free goi cuon (spring rolls), jasmine milk tea with crystal boba, and Vietnamese coffee. The value was unbeatable. The to-go boxes and packaging were trendy and fun. It looked tribal and was very well packaged (even the stickers were branded). The portion sizes were good. The banh cuon was thin, fine (translucent) and soft. I liked the fried shallots they gave and the spicy paste. The pork patty was yummy too. The bread for the banh mi was very fluffy and light. When toasted, it crumbled like dust. The bad: The drinks are definitely on the sweet side so you need that ice to melt a lot before you drink it. I think I like the pork belly in Carrot and Daikon's sandwiches better but I liked the bread here better. The interesting: My mom's cousin recommended this spot to me because she likes the portion size for the price. read more

No matter what time of day or which day I come , it is always packed. When we ordered the Bo Ne, meat version only, they keep bringing out the version with shrimp included. My husband and I waited almost 30 minutes from when we ordered to receive our food. His coffee came out super quick, but I had to remind the waitress to bring out tea and utensils for us. We like the food and all, but the service needs to improve. I don't think they are efficient and a lot of tables were waiting for their food as well. I think they can improve if they let people order and pay before they sit down. read more

Service is pretty inconsistent here. Sometimes it's average, sometimes below average. When they first opened, they were great, but ever since they stopped using the fancy to-go packaging, things have slowly gone downhill overall. That said, their bánh mì kẹp (SUPER reasonably priced) is still my favorite thing on the menu. You can't go wrong with toasted bread, juicy meat, and perfectly pickled veggies. If you're ordering bánh mì to go, ask for the veggies on the side so they don't get warm and mushy inside the crispy bread. Giving this 3 stars because I do still order from here every now and then for takeout. read more

From com tam to Bo ne and banh mi!! When Lac Viet first opened, I was amazed with their packaging for com tam ( broken rice). It was super neat. It was also good. Not sure why they decided to switch the concept. Over the weekend, i didn't know what to eat so decided to go here. The Bo ne from yelp pics looked really good. Another thing that caught my eyes were the prices lol Bo Ne for around $13?? Why not lol The portion was ok for the price. They replaced pate with shrimps. I like pate so I was a bit disappointed. Bo Ne was a bit too sweet for my taste. It was tender though, which was good. My mom ordered the rice with crispy pork (heo quay). The meat part was tasty, but the part that was supposed to be crispy was really tough to chew. It was not crispy at all. Rice was a bit rough to chew as well. The place was somewhat dirty. They offered special prices at a certain time and for togo. Place can get pretty busy and parking can suk. Weird how most of the spots were 15 minutes only Service was ok read more

Wanted to gate keep this place but figured this business needs more love than it's received. Lac Viet Concepts has such flavorful, affordable eats with quality ingredients. It is a small restaurant with a small parking lot but is very cozy and the service is great. Customers are provided with free tea when sitting in. They offer a different price for sit in versus to go. It seems most people order to go but I liked dining in. I ordered the Bó Nè and enjoyed how fresh it was. The bread had the perfect crunch and the bó was cooked just the right amount. I didn't try the drinks but would come back for those. read more

Lac Viet Concepts - Bò Né - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Came on a Saturday afternoon. Always crowded and busy because the food is so good and cheap! Small casual Vietnamese comfort food. They offer dine-in and to-go. The menu is pretty small/limited which is perfect if you're indecisive like me. They also offer very cheap banh mis and drinks! -bo ne: 9.2/10. Delicious! Comes out fresh and hot on a sizzling plate. Perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. This is my favorite dish because it's served with a side of bread. - come heo quay: 9.0/10. Crispy! Savory! Delicious. The crispy pork belly was cooked perfectly and the serving sizes of these dishes is huge! There is plenty of crispy pork belly. - com ne: 8.5/10. Delicious and tasty. Similar to the other two dishes, but not my preference of carb. Everything is so delicious, you can't go wrong with any of their items. read more

This has been one of my favorite new finds! We've been here twice but both times were memorable. Very simple menu but everything is good. Both the Com Ne and the Bo Ne are tasty but I find I like the Com Ne more. The rice they serve is delicious and with the sauce it's more satisfying than the bread. We also always get the banh mi so it's nice to have the variety of rice and bread. The flavor is on point and everything is cooked well. The beef could be a bit more tender but for the price I'm not even mad. I do wish it came with pate The banh mi is amazing. They toast the bread - seems so simple but such a game changer. I wish they had a deli meat banh mi combo like any other banh mi place but the pork and crispy pork are great substitutes. Will likely make this place a regular stop in my rotation! read more

Lac Viet Concepts - Crispy pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Lac Viet has won my heart with their small menu and cute/modern hole in the wall vibes. Located in a tiny strip mall somewhat near Lee's and SC2, I almost missed this place when driving. Their specialties are Vietnamese skillet dishes and banh mi, and I can tell that keeping the menu small has helped them deliver on flavor! Service was pretty good. You can order to-go (which is cheaper than dining in) at the counter, but if you're eating at the restaurant you'll need to take a seat. This was a little confusing at first to be honest because I didn't see any signs that tell you to do that, but it's not a big deal. Servers are quick to take your order and it's a straightforward, no nonsense experience. Bo ne: 5/5 - this classic Vietnamese skillet dish consisting of beef steak, eggs, onions, and tomatoes in a rich savory sauce truly delivered exactly what I wanted. The beef wasn't overcooked and the sauce was so flavorful I didn't need to add any of the sauces they have at the tables; perfect sauce to soak up with the baguettes that come with your meal. Egg yolks were nice and runny and overall it was a great nostalgic dish. I will definitely be back. Warning: parking is literally nonexistent so get creative or park in the back somewhere. read more

Lac Viet Concepts - Bò Né - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Was recommended to try this place by a friend, who i actually visited with. I've never heard of this place but I really enjoyed my experience. They have a very limited menu, but that's okay. We ordered a com tam and a bo ne. The did run out of pate for the bo ne, which was a bit sad, but was okay. The broken rice plate was plated beautifully. It also came with soup. Was it the best com tam I've ever had? No, but for the price, I'd happily come here once a week and enjoy it each time! The bo ne was very flavorful as well. Overall, I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit! read more

Linited seating place and with simple menu. Basically you have three choice of rice dish, roasted pork, cubed beef and shrimp, or steak). The simplicity of the menu makes choosing easy. I had the beef and shrimp, and overall, it is delicious. For $12.95, I think it is a good deal. The only gripe I had was that the place is not that clean... The wooden board that they use to line the cast iron pan had food crumbs from previous use. And when I asked that it should be cleaned... the waiter said, oh it's not used to serve food... do you want it cleaned? Seriously? He actually said that ‍ I do think management need to re-train the staff on cleanliness and professionalism. read more

well this restaurant is not open for dine in anymore because they have foods togo only from now on.

LOVE this place. Everything is always good, fresh, and clean. My friend and I came here and were immediately greeted with cold tea in a take-out cup (with a free refill station!). I ordered the Bò né and she ordered the Cơm tấm. My dish came with hearty, yet balanced servings of beef, tomato, egg, mushrooms, shrimp cake, and French bread for dipping. Her meal came with rice, pickled vegetables, pork, egg, and soup. Everything tasted flavorful, warm, and comforting. I am always impressed by Lac Viet for its fast efficient service and outstanding low-cost food. Takeout is always good too, with its fancy packaging and generous portions. Simply perfect!!! :) read more

Was craving bo ne so I went to this place that I found on Yelp. Parking lot was a bit small but I was able to find parking easy probably since I came here close to 2pm on a Saturday. There was limited seating but since I was a party of one, I was seated pretty quick. There wasn't much on the menu, but that's ok because I only came there for one thing. The beef sizzling plate was pretty good and I would definitely be back, but I think the only thing missing was pate? Other than that, the customer service was great, they provide free ice green tea, and the restaurant was clean. There is a 3% fee for credit card charges under $15 bucks, so I just bought a dessert to go to reach the minimum. It was good and worth a try! read more

The Ube coffee was amazing. The restaurant is not huge but there is plenty of seating and they serve you so quickly and friendly and efficiently. The parking lot is good and this place is in a very busy area of Westminster. As you can see in the pictures, the food is delicious, and the restaurant was neat and clean. What stood out to me was the Vietnamese coffee. The staff here was very nice and super professional.

Checked out Lac Viet Concept after spotting it on the way to lunch. We were early, so we decided to stop by and see what they had. It seems like they're in a soft opening phase (or at least I hope so) because things felt a bit disorganized--there wasn't even a menu to look at. We ended up just grabbing what we saw in front: sweet sticky rice and spring rolls. The sticky rice was solid--coconut shreds, mung bean, sesame seeds, and a creamy coconut sauce all came together nicely. For the spring rolls, we got one of each type, and the bi (pork skin) spring roll was definitely my favorite. The others were decent, and I liked the peanut dipping sauce. Overall, the food was tasty for what it was, but they definitely need to get things more organized. Hopefully, they'll smooth things out soon! read more

A hot summer day called for a quick breakfast. Let's have some Bo Ne' with a twist or pork belly style. Each serving is pretty big and the price is unbeatable at $10-$12 a skillet which is also served with two half rolls of baguettes which is way more than enough for one in my Opinion. Is it good? It's decent enough to eat but more on the sweet side. It would be much better with a savory salty side for my tongue. Each serving also comes with two eggs. It's really a deal at that price. The only thing I'd wish they'd include is a side of pate which is typical as staple for this dish. I was surprised to not see it served considering there's banh mi on the menu. It's worth a shot to try it out. Wait may not be worth it but for the price, you can't go wrong. read more

Stopped by for brunch and put our names on the list before waiting outside. We both ordered the bò né with baguettes to dip into the eggs which was very good, authentic, and a generous portion for the price. On my boyfriend's plate, they swapped the meatball for shrimp without saying anything, which was fine but a little odd. He also tried the ube coffee, which he said was good but very strong. Overall, we left feeling full and satisfied. read more

Only went here to pick up some Banh Mi for the drive home for my family. I don't eat beef or pork so I couldn't try any of the options that they had. Instead I did get a Vietnamese coffee to go and will rate on that. Parking is horrible, depending on what time you get there. The traffic is congested. Difficult to get into the parking lot and out of it because the Main Street is packed. The space inside was modern. On the right side is the register and ordering food to go. On the left side is for dine in. It seemed like everyone was going fast paced and in a rush? Sometimes I wonder if the person was trying to rush me and get things done? Or that's just how they operate because of a long line? But I looked behind me and there was no one. I felt that they were a touch impatient when I was trying to figure out what to get. But you definitely get your food and drinks pretty fast! But I was only like third in line and it wasn't popping like other days that I have heard from other people. My Vietnamese coffee (cafe sua da) you can tell by the color that it was going to be some strong coffee! The cup had a bunch of ice but it was the nice small crunchy ice. Makes it easier to melt for you to casually sip on your coffee. It was strong coffee flavor, not acidic but dark and roasty and smooth. And then you get hints of creamy sweetness from the condensed milk. Depending on my mood is when I want more condensed milk or not. But that day I needed the fuel for the drive back to San Diego. The color was a bit on the darker side (less milk) than the lighter side (too much milk). Will I come here again? Maybe? Was the drink that memorable for me? It was all right. I've been to other places that have better Vietnamese coffee down that street. But if I am in the area and pass this? Possibly. read more

Likes: + Delicious, cheap food. Variety of ingredients make for a well-balanced, enjoyable meal. The eggs and steak were scrumptious. Get it while prices are low! + Decent amount of parking and indoor seating. Non-likes: - The waiter kept asking for the menu back. Maybe it took him a while to understand that I like reading menus and learning about a restaurant while eating there. - The utensil cabinet is cute but inconvenient. The compartments are unlabeled. They should label each shelf, so you don't have to open each shelf seeking a specific utensil. The cabinet isn't well grounded, so you could accidentally slide or knock it over. - The ice water is chock-full of ice. The liquid to ice ratio should be higher. - They placed the sizzling steak skillet on the table but away from me and then walked away. So, I had to kind of shimmy the skillet towards me so I can eat comfortably. The handle was still hot, but I didn't burn myself too badly. - When prompted for a receipt, entering my phone number for a text receipt didn't work. Gripe: At first they brought out a cup of tea, which isn't a good idea late in the evening. Good thing I asked before drinking; at first I thought it might've been just pleasant herbal water. They replaced it with the ice water. I had: $12.95 bò né (sizzling steak) + $4.95 bánh mì thịt nướng xả (or spelled sả)? (grilled pork with lemongrass sandwich) + tax + tip = $21.35 read more

But let's breakdown the dish... it was lightly salted and seasoned. On top was a bed of picked mustard greens. To me, it tasted like home but I don't know if i would order this again knowing the pork is all fat. All in all, I would come back for other dishes. read more

Sometimes you try a new restaurant and immediately think," wth! How did these people wake up one day and find the audacity to put out a huge amount of money to open a restaurant to produce such blah (I'm being nice here, I could use other more correct descriptive words) food???!!! * Was gifted by a dear friend of mine 2 portions of their com tam combo plate and a Banh mi thit nuong. Presentation of the to go order was so fancy that I had so much high expectations only to be smacked on the face with big disappointment! Pros : - Super fancy to go boxes that I would have to describe is as the Hermes of com tam! - The very small sized tau huu ky was decent tasting. - Bi cha tasted like it should have tasted. Cons : - Broken rice super dry (to the point where I would say it's undercooked) - Pork chops flavorless and dry - Cabbage Soup was bland - Wost part was the pickled cabbage was bitter tasting like I had gotten a bad stalk of the vegetable and it was not crunchy at all! - Banh mi was also bland and nothing special. Made me think they had to make the to go packaging so fancy to make up for the lack of quality good tasting food. Definitely save your money and spend it somewhere else! This place is not worth it. read more
