    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    crispy pork banh mi/ banh mi heo quay
    Trinh T.

    Food: Banh mi heo quay is pretty filling and decent. A bit salty. I definitely wanna try one of the skillets next time. Service: Quick and easy ordering up front and then you can choose to sit and eat there or to-go. Ambiance: Isn't super packed and busy but people will come and go. Casual spot to eat some viet food.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Crispy pork banh mi
    Erin T.

    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!

    Bò Né
    Andrew N.

    Great place for Bò Né! The food is delicious and served sizzling hot. The dish comes with a variety of tasty sides, making the meal very satisfying. The portions are generous, the price is very reasonable, and they even offer complimentary tea. Friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely worth coming back!

    Cassidy F.

    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!

    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.

It's a pulled chicken sandwich that is absolutely delicious--honestly, it's the most unique "actual" sandwich you can get in the area. The Perfect Order: * The Build: You have to get it on Dutch Crunch bread with no tomato. * The Flavor: The Dutch Crunch is amazing, especially with the honey on it. The sandwich itself is almost like a chicken sloppy joe--it's bomb. * The Perks: I love that they still include those little caramel apple suckers with the order. It's a signature touch that I hope they never stop doing. * Rewards: Their point system is very favorable. I frequently get free drinks, chips, or discounts on my sandwiches. The Critiques: * Ingredients: Like a few other spots, this one makes me feel a bit "off" afterward. Since the meat is tossed in sauce and they add more to the bread, I suspect there might be some MSG involved. * Pricing: Things are getting expensive across the board, and I feel like most places--this one included--are overcharging by about $3. Five stars would only be achievable if the pricing was more reasonable. Final Thoughts: Despite the price and the "food coma" afterward, the #111 is too good to pass up. It's a solid four-star experience every time.

    I was looking for a restaurant I hadn't been to before that had a good deal on filet mignon, and I…read morecame across Cambalache. I visited with a few friends to have dinner. Their cuisine is a mix of Argentine and Italian. The restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall with plenty of parking available. Seating options include the patio in front which has heat lamps, a small bar area, and tables in the main dining room. You can make a reservation either on their website or by calling them on the phone. Our server greeted us promptly and brought out a generous serving of warm, fresh bread which was delicious. We ordered a few beef empanadas ($4 each) and a side of chimichurri ($2.50). They came out hot and were very flavorful. We also ordered the Scampi al Vino Bianco appetizer. The five jumbo shrimp were large, and the white wine garlic sauce was good. There was no question about what I was having for my entrée, the Medallon de Lomo, a grilled 10 ounce filet mignon (only $43!). It may not look like 10 ounces in the picture, but it is a thick cut, and was grilled to a perfect medium rare plus as requested. The steak was flavorful on its own, but it comes with its own side of chimichurri sauce which I love on steak. The vegetables were good and seemed fresh, not frozen. This was definitely the best deal I've come across for a 10 ounce filet mignon and a side. One of my friends had the Parrillada Mixta ($68) which is a large serving of various meats including skirt steak, flap meat, short rib, Argentine sausage, blood sausage, and sweetbread. It's served on a big cast iron platter with a flame underneath to keep it hot. It's an entrée for two, but he ate most of it on his own, although we did give him a little help. He said he would pass on the sweetbread next time, and substitute one of the sausages for more meat (extra charge). It also came with a large serving of roasted potatoes. Another friend had the Paella Mixta ($32). It was a good size with a mix of clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, vegetables, and rice. Our server Fred was very friendly and took great care of us. Their menu is large, I would definitely return to try other items or have another filet mignon. The only negative is that they close somewhat early at 8pm on Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday, so plan accordingly.

We parked in the lot and came for an early dinner at 5PM on a Wednesday so did not have to wait. The restaurant got busier as the time got closer to 6PM.

The interior of the restaurant is reminiscent of a wooden house/cabin. As for the food, the complimentary hot bread is very tasty, and we enjoyed the Ensalata Argentina also. We ordered the Parillada Mixta for two (comes with side choice of fries, roasted potatoes, salad, or sauteed vegetables and we chose vegetables), as well as the Risotto Don Juan de Marco. The parillada came with a substantial amount of meat kept warm on a grill, accompanied by a chimichurri. The short rib meat was a bit tough but still tasty. I felt like the risotto was good but not outstanding. We finished with a creme brulee for dessert and someone also ordered a coffee (cortadito). The meal was solid though came out to $150 after tax and tip.

The main problem is they definitely seem to have way less stock on hand, and things can sell out fast. I had to come back another day for my favorite item of theirs, the rusk - extremely light and crunchy bites of buttery sugared mini toast. I buy a bunch of these to take home as souvenirs, as the strawberry croissants obviously need to be eaten ASAP. Their employees were pretty friendly and helpful. I love that they carry bulk platters of their strawberry croissant and have them displayed right as you enter. They also have various other desserts and pastries, even some savory sandwiches and sushi, packaged goods, and coffee. I'm here pretty much just for their strawberry croissants and rusk, though their other items seem nice if you want goods for a convenient picnic.
