    Curry stew and beef stew
    Pam L.

    I'm so glad this place is still around after over 20 years of being here. This family run cafe really does specialize in their Vietnamese beef stew. I've searched high and low around here and nothing beats this place. Truly a gem in garden grove! A must go establishment. It's simple, hearty and delicious

    I love this restaurant and it made me sad they have lost a lot of customers to new restaurants w young and savvy owners who know how to use social media, for instance Phonic is a real joke but they have 365 days ads in Instagram and boy did they work. Manager if you read this review , please put an ad soon IG reach, I think 500 million people! This restaurant was the 1st French bakery in Little Saigon, I used to go w my parents here, it was a highlight of every week end, you'd be lucky to get a table. Their baguettes were so delicious, the pate chaud and croissant were even better than what I had in Paris, for some reason, Paris no longer have pâté chaud so this is unique, other restaurants can never know how to make good ones, I'm glad they claimed w yelp but the more the merrier. Luckily they had branched into a real restaurant w extensive menu such as Beef curry that NOBODY EVER HAD THIS, their Bo Kho was amazing too, ramen, udon, etc.. but this menu is only offered till 2pm w the exception of beef curry and Bo kho, offered till closing time. We had the beef curry w baguette for the 1st time today and we loved it so much, it was a big order, enough for both of us, the beef was so so tender, I never tried this before bc I was afraid it would be chewy. I used to order birthday cakes and Christmas logs here but the past few years w a loss of customers, the cakes may not look as fresh. I would still rate this pioneer bakery 5 stars for their historical importance, an iconic name, wow, le croissant doré, it has a good vibe to my ears! and I'll be here for the beef curry more often, it was not hot/spicy, just perfectly seasoned and the pâté chaud was always so delicious. Bon appétit !

    I love love love the food at this place, it doesn't look much but each serving is fulfilling. I got the meatball cooked in a tomato stew and it was very good. Their other items are good as well including the beef stew and the pate chuad

    This is a hidden gem. I'm not sure why it got poor reviews. Maybe they're not ordering the right dishes. Maybe it appeared a little run down and not very hip? Come here and order the bo kho or tongue stew. It's so good here. Probably the best bo kho in town. I think they added a little wine to their stew. Eaten with bread, wow it was so so good. I wouldn't have never wander into this place on my own, but I'm glad I went here and enjoyed a delicious meal. Don't expect much service here. They'll bring out the food and that's pretty much it.

    Traditional vietnamese beef stew, nothing can't beat this. Service was very old and traditional way, but definitely very nice people made you feel welcome here. Place is small but packed. Have a lot of sweet dessert to choose from too, very good food

    Luoi Bo Beef Tongue
    Marko C.

    An amazing restaurant go get traditional Vietnamese beef stew dishes. Service is fast and the food is delicious! Nice to be in a place with locals enjoying themselves and socializing. Bo Kho. Traditional beef stew with rice noodles. Flavorful and full of tender beef and beef intestines. Grade: A The luoi bo / beef tongue was amazing. It was slices of tender tongue made into a delicious and savory beef stew. Loved every bite. Grade A We got a few pastries to go - fruit tart, mini cream puffs, almond and chocolate croissant. Sean, the owner (?) and host, has always been so welcoming and friendly. He was helpful in explaining the dishes to us. Great customer service.

    You honestly cannot go wrong with a classic fruit tart! And you'll always be the fave if you show up with one of these in hand at the family gathering. Fruits are so fresh and the custard is chef's kiss (not too sweet), with a crispy crust. It's a cute mom and pop shop.

    Everything at this place is tasty, from the desserts to the dine in beef stew (staple, best seller). The portions are large with incredibly fast service. Great place to visit during off peak hours as it does get busy in the mornings with their very freshly baked pastries. The environment is very easy going and low key. Great family atmosphere and easy place to find!

    ***This review is solely based off of Le Croissant Dore's Vietnamese iced coffee*** We stumbled across Le Croissant Dore unexpectedly while we were on a hunt for a particular item. With my energy slowly yet consistently draining, I was very open to the idea of a caffeine jolt! I walked in, placed my order for ca phe sua da and waited. My drink comes out shortly after that and WOW! Boy did it hit the spot, taste yummy, and give me that extra push that I greatly needed. 5/5 stars because the coffee itself didn't taste burnt, the flavors where both strong af but had an amazing balance of creamy sweetness. I'd come back here again for this very item and maybe then I'd be able to try out their Bo Kho [vietnamese beef stew]. With the short period of time that I was visiting, I overheard almost every other person ordered that dish!!

    A bakery and restaurant in one, Le Croisssant was a great find. Everything was excellent including service. A must visit if you ever find yourself in Westminster.

    This is one of my go-to places for Vietnamese comfort food! My go-to is the beef stew, or bo kho. The meat is super tender and it's served alongside freshly baked French bread that you can use to soak up all the delicious soup. Squeeze some lime into the salt + pepper mix, dip your meat in there and enjoy! Another favorite is the croissant - it's HUGE and buttery and packed full of meat. They do run out though, so get there early if you want to try it! We usually ask them to cut it in half so we can share. We also enjoy their cafe sua da, it's definitely on the stronger side. Sometimes there will be tables of old Vietnamese men just catching up over coffee, so you know their coffee is super legit.

    Fair prices for cakes. I am not sure what different cultures call the types of cakes they sell…read morehere. In Mexican culture we call them "pastel de mil hojas" which translates to a thousand sheet cake. I am a huuuuge fan of thousand sheet cake. After my husband birthday cake was a bust, we came here and were so glad we did. This is truly one of the best thousand sheet cakes we've ever had. We were taken a little back by what it looked like inside. There are lots of plants and we didn't seen any display of cakes. There was a family just standing there and we saw an older woman cutting strawberries. We were helped and were able to pay with a credit card. We ordered the 1/4 sheet cake and paid $45 which is more than fair. The cake is layered with cake, the thousand sheets, whipped topping, and a variety of fresh fruit. It is honestly so delicious and looks beautiful. They can also add a "happy birthday" for you if you'd like. The cake came in a box and with a disposable/plastic cake knife. Overall, I am super happy with my purchase and will return!

I will say that this place has a great fruit cake with a crispy delicious middle layer along with a vanilla fluffy layer. Its the delicious fruit cake that one would get at that other place inside a little strip mall in santa ana. Do I like this one better, you bet!!! Pro tip: Their storefront looks like a flower shop between the corner bakery and grocery store. Great job cake lady!

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.

Their claim to fame, the strawberry croissants, taste as spectacular, light, crispy, airy, and deliciously subtle and fruity as much as the original location. 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.
