Always has what I need for last minute orders when it comes to catering dishes. Their fish sauce wings are the best.

Good does not taste good. It's just okay. BEWARE: The meatloaf I got had some tiny worms on it. I felt so disgusted! Avoid unless you want to risk food poisoning! read more

Their chicken wings are so good and buttery even for the fish sauce order, you can still taste the butter. Small tray is $45 for about 30+ pieces and big tray is $90. The service was good and fast. Just watch out for your change if you pay cash because they might give you less change. Most of the chicken are already in trays and keep warm as you pick up. The store is right where ABC market is at, so there's plenty of parking. The LAM VAN sign is very big, too. You can find them easily in the corner. read more

All the foods are decent....to good to keep me coming back but the few servers are cold not very nice. read more

I would not come back again. I saw one of the cooks reached her hands in the dish she was making to taste the food rather than using utensils. Customer service was terrible. I ordered food weeks advance and called to remind a few days before pick up date yet my orders had to cook when I came to pick up. People working behind the counter kept shouting or maybe that was how they talk(?). The food aren't that great either. The fried rice was hard, the banh bot loc was sticky that we we're having hard time getting the pieces to serving plates, and the stirred fried vermicelli had that stale smell. We got diarrhea after. Never again coming back to this place. read more

This review is for their banh nam only. Came here looking for ready-made food to go trays and saw a small tray filled with banh nam, my favorite! I didn't ask how many pieces were in the tray but it was filled to the top and price was $30, which I felt was a good price for the amount given. The filling ratio is a good amount and were flavored well. I will definitely come back here for banh nam! read more

We got the wings with fish sauce. They wings are juicy and soft inside and crunchy on the outside. Love the seasoned of the wings just the right savory and a touch of sweetness. read more

They have the best fried bananas. They are super crispy and delicious. Their fish sauce chicken wings are also very crispy and flavorful. read more

Lam Van - Their fried bananas are so so crispy and good!! The best - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Great spot for your parties or social gatherings. Call early to order and the food will be ready at the scheduled time. Lots of appetizers and finger foods to choose from. Big parking lot so plenty of parking space. read more

Problem with Westminister/Garden Grove during the weekend is that traffic is typically congested and parking is bad. It's time consuming to go to multiple places for food pickup. With that being said, I am giving this place a solid 4. Yes, I understand some of their items would not be the best in general, but overall they are pretty solid. The way I would describe this is that if you are throwing a party/potluck and need to grab food in ONE place, Lam Van and Kim Phuong are my main two destinations. I have ordered a bunch of items from them before: * Banh Beo - the texture is pretty soft (not soggy). It's not super sticky either which is pretty good. * Banh Boc Loc - Huong Giang is prob the best place for this, but Lam Van does it pretty well. The only thing is that their Banh Boc Lot is sticky and it's a bit harder to take out than Huong Giang. This is probably because they put less oil. * Spring Rolls (nem) - I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of their spring rolls unfortunately. The Nem was nothing to rave about. * Spring Roll (Goi Cuon/Shrimp) - This one is a hit or miss. Sometimes in the packaging, I see the rice sheet break, but I would probably order this over Nem Cuon. * Beef Rolls - this one was pretty solid and I would recommend this. There is one thing that annoys me is that they are cash only business. So remember to bring cash or go to the Bank of America in this same plaza. Maybe it's because this is a common practice in Westminster, Garden Grove, and San Gabriel Valley, it's deemed a norm for me. I understand some of the bad reviews in regard to this, but I am able to tolerate it. Overall, I feel that this is solid place for folks to do "catering takeout" and I do plan to come here again. read more

A great place for reasonably priced catering! Make sure you call in ahead. I've gotten the following items here: -Fried Rice ($25/$35/$50 trays): so good! I will definitely cater this again! -Nem Nuong or Grilled Pork rolls ($1.30/roll): Cheap alternative to Brodards. Don't expect too much. -Cha Hue: My grandma's favorite. I will always get it from here. read more

There are places that are truly hidden gems and are only to locals and today is like to share with you my favorite spot for Vietnamese fried chicken wings with fish sauce (cánh gà chiên nước mắm), rice sheets with ground shrimp steamed in a banana leaf ( bánh là or bánh năm), and my favorite in all the lands.. steamed tapioca dumplings stuffed with pork and shrimp in a nana leaf (bánh bột lọc). The last two dishes are traditional dishes of the Hue region in vietnam, and well the fried chicken in fish sauce, Hmm not to sure what part it came from but damn those things are yummy! So the thing about this place is you can't order for 1 or for 2, but you need to order for a party, cause hey, food is best enjoyed with friends and family right? Chicken wings you should call in the order. Bánh năm/ bánh là and bánh bột loc you can stop in and pick up anytime. It's the short little balls in banana leaf and the long skinny tamale looking things in banana leaf. Enjoy! read more

My mom called over the phone to order some food for pick up for the first time, and the lady kept accusing that someone called multiple times to order and didn't pick up. We kept telling her it was not us. She kept asking us multiple times if we for sure wanted to pick up, and complained that we didn't pick up the food ( we never called her before) and then in a very rude tone told my mom that she's busy and to call back later. Overall very bad phone etiquette! We will not order from here again. read more

Wings are bomb. They always have party trays of variety of foods ready to go! CASH ONLY!

The nuoc mam (fish sauce) wings are thee best! I first had it at a party and was surprised how crunchy and flavorful the wings were! They are always a hit at parties for all ages. One large tray is good for 10-20 people, depending on how many other dishes you have. Order a day or two in advance. Cash only. read more

If you are having a party, this is the place to get your to go food. A must order: fried chicken wings. Yes you heard me, fried chicken wings. Always gotta wait for them to make it fresh but it's totally worth it. 5/5 hands down. Their best item here!!! A see many folks buying the nem nuong spring rolls too. I'm a big fan of brodard or nem which is usually 1.65$ each but this place sells it for $1.30. Overall, I'd rate it 3.5/5. The sauce isn't as flavorful and their ingredients within the rolls are different. But eh if you're buying a ton and have lots of guests and wanna save some money, try their rolls. It's not bad at all. read more

Best fish sauce wings and the crispiest ever... definitely a must try idk about everything else but i order party trays here...specifically fish sauce wings. Thanks for this amazing dish!!! read more

-Cash only -No prices listed on any of the foods -Display menus were only in Vietnamese - For these reasons above I am giving a 1 star rating . It is so frustrating to not be able to read what's on the menu . None of the employees were available to assist me with questions . Not sure if they all spoke English , I did wait awhile . But they seem to just ignore me and bypass me to help another customer who spoke Vietnamese. It doesn't seem like they had a system to help the person who came in first , just who ever can speak louder and in their native tongue gets assisted. read more

I'm calling in to order party trays and the lady stated her name was Hà was so rude, un professional. denied to take my order and said I have to paid first in order for them to get the trays. as before I walk in and buy, they said you have to call first and today I called in , she was rude to said you have to come to Oder , paid than you can pick up next day and hang up my phone 2 time. I called back reque to talk to someone else and she hang up my phone. so rude customer service with the lady name Hà or whoever behind her. Will never go here order food anymore. read more

I rarely give 1 star but this place made me disappointed so much. I came this morning and it was busy. Therefore, I tried to be nice to the staffs and make it fast. I bought 2 lbs of "doi huyet" and paid $16 for them. I heard another staff told the cashier that my order needed 1 more roll to be enough for 2lbs, but the cashier told that it was paid. I didn't realize that was my order until I got home. And I got only 1lbs of the food. read more

The nam is okay. Not as good as it use to be. I drove from San Francisco all the way there and was a little bit disappointed just cause the service is not as good as it is to be and the food is not as good as it is to be. Plus the prices went up read more

OMG those butter wings & pork egg rolls! Heavenly. There is some serious crunch and crack on those wings. Tangy, sweet & savory. Cooked perfectly and addictive. Both of what we ordered are things I dream of. Be prepared & call ahead - cash only. Great now I'm drooling again! read more

Just come for the food. Don't come with high expectations of good customer service, punctuality or efficiency. Survival guide: * Place phone order at least 2 hours in advance, but they tend to be half-hour late on your order anyways * Have exact cash in hand * There may be a semblance of a line, just be aware. It generally wraps around from right to left a soon as you step in the door * It seems to help if you're tall, or if you bring someone tall --- they seem to respond better over the high deli counter * More readymade trays are available earlier in the day * Favs: butter chicken wings, betel leaf-wrapped beef rolls, lotus root salad You just never really know when this place is going to be a hectic zoo until you're deep in it. If you find yourself lost, dazed and confused, you're probably not alone! Take a deep breath and be firm (but with a smile through your mask, lol) about reminding them of your order. If only these popular places had a numbered ticket system :-\ read more

Lam Van is one of the better options for Vietnamese food to go. They are located in the ABC Supermarket plaza near the Bank of America and Grand Garden Restaurant side in Little Saigon. I've been here a few times, but can never remember the name lol... but I can attest that their food is good. I always get their food to go plates, and they are all very good. My favorite snack there now is the deep fried Banh It Tran, or deep fried Sticky Rice Dumplings stuffed with pork and shrimp. They are only 70 cents each, and don't look like much in the pictures, but they are delicious! Their spring roll to go plates are pretty good, but not as good as Brodard's... although their fish sauce is on point! Banh bot loc is a little chewy, but nonetheless very good and flavorful. Party tray prices- $25 small, $35 medium, and $50 large size. I got a tray of egg rolls (60 cents each) for a party I attended recently. They were a little better than average, but they tasted like they were fried in old oil- 3 stars. Won't be getting egg rolls from here in the future. Happy eating! read more

Had to get something for potluck and everything was great. My church people liked the party trays I picked up from here. The lady was kind with me that I didn't know much Vietnamese but she was helpful in helping me. read more

They have a variety of Vietnamese foods in party trays that cost from $20-30 or so depending on the food. So if you want some good Vietnamese food catered at your party, here's my go-to if I don't have time. They also sell appetizers like spring rolls prepared, banh beo, Food tastes great here. They have fresh eggrolls, cha lua, pastries, and other Vietnamese goodies! Everything is always made the day of and is sooo fineee-- I mean fresh. They al T'is an Asian place, so please be prepared to bring CASH. read more

Fried chicken wings were a HUGE hit! 5 stars for the WINGS!!! $30 for a tray. Fed about 15 of us. Good size wings. Perfectly marinated with a hint of sweetness. Crispy batter!! My kiddos would definitely hold up that wing and hold it up to each other's ear and "CRUNCH!" ASMR you-tuber would be proud! I've been looking for good chicken wings for potlucks and this place takes home the trophy. Thanks to my coworker for the rec! TID BITS: 1) Parking lot is crowded. Be careful 2) Call ahead and place your order. Cash only! 3) So so service. But, they're on time with their orders 4) My mom recommended the banh it/banh ram here too. Gotta try that too read more

Food: everything here is good and party tray sized for big families. Try the fish sauce chicken wings, spring rolls, chao, salads. All good. Folks will complain about customer service. I've been coming here for 3 years. Back for the same items. Service is typical Asian place, come for the food, not the service. It's fast paced, take what you see and line up to pay. Pre-order if you want to ensure availability. read more

I come here for banh bot loc. They are $28 for 50 pieces which is not bad. Coffee is $3 which is ok, not cheap though. It is a good place for catering for potlucj read more

Lam Van - $35 tray of fish sauce chicken wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

We love their egg rolls and always stop in for a tray of 50 when we are in the area, regardless if we have an event or not since they always go fast - they are that good! They are quick too, usually we only call in about 15-30 mins ahead of time and they are always ready when we get there. Hot, crispy, and good ratio of filling with good flavor and not so much filler like the other places. The egg rolls usually stay crispy for a long time too. They have lots of food to-go / pick up items ready on the counter when we come in and their chao (the porridge soup) is good as well. read more

Very crowded, egg rolls, spicy fried chicken wings excellent!!. Staff was nice and friendly

I usually give businesses a second chance and I regret I did for this place. They were rude the first time and I brushed it off but the second time was too much. I'll never give them my money again. If you don't mind having employees yell at you then go ahead and order here. I called to order and the person on the line kept cutting me off to answer other customers, and then was impatient that I would not talk... I placed my order and even before I could confirm the amount or how long it would take, which is standard for many restaurants, they hung up on me. I thought maybe the line got cut off so I called again to confirm and they actually got mad at me for calling back. They just said it will be ready asap but did not tell me how much and then hung up on me again... if you only take cash then people need to know how much to bring! Geez! I'm sure their attitude is due to them already having a lot of customers so they just don't care. If the owner sees this please adjust your business's attitude if you want to retain them. read more

Not sure why but these people are terrible at customer service. I will not support business like this. Foods is not that great, very tight, dirty and remember it's a "cash only" this is a tax invasion business. read more

I forgot to take pictures at this business due to being in a rush to my partners family get together for Mother's Day HAHA. I stopped by on Saturday and wasn't fazed by this place. Don't be prepared for some fancy modern style shop. This here my friend, is a typical Vietnamese style and I was happy to see this kind of set up. It makes me wonder, a small place like this, what kind of interesting food taste will I find here?? Haha. Anyways 5pm, on a Saturday. There were constant people coming in line to buy party trays. I noticed that most of them had already paced the order before hand as well. The most popular I heard while I was there were the wings and egg rolls. SOO I made a mental note to try their wings for myself heh heh . I called Saturday morning ( I know I should've called day before, but it was last minute) to place the order of $30 worth of egg rolls. $0.65 each! That's cheap! Banh mi places were selling theirs from $0.75 ~ $1.00!! Ahem. Anyways, I made sure if it was okay for me to order the day of and to pick up at 5pm. Luckily they were able to squeeze me in!! Once we got there, 5:04pm ish, we didn't get our egg roll tray till like 5:25pm. They had told us that they were finishing up our order. But I mean, I did call the day of, and the did squeeze me in so I was FINE with that and pretty excited to be honest. The egg rolls were fresh and HOT AND CRISPY LIKE OHHHH BOY. I have had plenty of egg rolls from different places. From pho places, to banh mi places, and etc. . . They all taste like your standard crispy pork or chicken egg roll . . . But this my friend, was so ****ing bomb!! I couldn't wait and tried it on my way to the get together! It consists of the glass mung bean vermicelli noodles, black fungus mushroom, I think pork?, carrots, and I think taro. The black fungus mushroom was really soft! It didn't have that crunchy texture which blended well with the egg roll. If it was taro, it was nice and soft. It wasn't on the hard side and had that distinctive taro taste. People might think, the more meat, the better it is, but NOPE! This egg roll wasn't filled with meat so it wasn't overwhelming at all. The mixture was perfectly balanced with veggies and other ingredients and it was just amazing. The taste was addicting too! Egg rolls usually go out quick at get togethers or at any occasion, but these egg rolls got people asking me where I bought them from!! They even asked for the name and address as well!! It even makes me and the others wonder how good the wings might be or their other food! Thank you so much for the bomb egg rolls and I will forever order my egg rolls here now!! Definitely check them out! I will come back for the wings! read more
