My Vietnamese friends had us pick them up some bun bo hue here. I cane to get the snacks/appetizers. Every day, they put out different types of appetizers/snacks, all packaged up for you to choose from. They keep the skin on their banh bot loc (clear shrimp dumplings) tho so my kids aren't a fan of theirs. They prefer Lien 3's version. Service is always good, but the language barrier can be challenging at times. That said, we've never had issues ordering--except for one time when we accidentally ordered a whole party platter instead of a smaller plate. It's not the most attractive restaurant to eat at. But honestly I'm just there to eat or pick up. read more

I came here for bun bo hue on a Monday because my go-to restaurant was closed. This place closes pretty early at 7pm, so plan accordingly! I called ahead to order a large BBH ($15) to-go and ended up picking up a small tray of banh beo and banh bot loc tran for $5 when I got there because it was discounted for end of the day sale. Unfortunately, I was not a huge fan of their BBH as the broth was too sweet, and the sate was not spicy or fragrant enough for my liking. The pork patty and shrimp patty were really flavorful and well-done, though. The banh beo and banh bot loc tran were both pretty good as well. I might come back for the cha (meat patties) or appetizers but probably not for the BBH. read more

Quick, easy parking, but doesn't hit the spot. I'm only writing this so I can remind myself to pick a different location for banh bot loc. Service was great, they were really nice. I was looking forward to enjoying the food but the fish sauce lacked in complimenting the bath bot loc even when I added the chili. I forced myself to eat it cause every time I head to this Viet area from the bay area, I try to find a location and buy an abundance of banh bot loc to freeze. I brought a huge tray of the banh bot loc la and 25 pieces single unwrapped banh bot loc. I'm just not a fan here, but try it out yourself. This is just a reminder to myself not to come back here. Crossed off my list for location. read more

Perfect for catering and authentic Vietnamese dishes! They offer a huge menu with tons of foods to choose from. If you're having a party or event, be sure to order and book the food here. I highly recommend the bánh canh tôm cua, bún bò huế, and items wrapped in banana leaves. * Bánh Canh Tôm Cua: 8/10 - flavorful, tons of crab and shrimp patties They have indoor dining which I recommend so that you can taste the food fresh. They're located in the popular Garden Grove Shopping Plaza so parking can get difficult at peak times, but people are always going in and out. Very good! read more

I was aggressively craving some BBH after a Halloween night. I needed some hearty broth to help with my hangover. My aunt suggested we go here and I'm so glad. It's very limited seating as most people order to go. The bun Bo hue was rich in flavor and hearty. The meat was all that I wanted- 5/5. We ordered and banh beo on the side. I would have preferred it in the little dishes but again this place is to go so they set it up on one dish. These were also really good - 4/5. They also gave us each that yellow liquid in a cup. I forget if it was tea or like a savory broth LOL. read more

Easy to ordered Togo. Ordered ahead for easy pick up service. I ordered the Banh Cuon Thit Nuong. Very tasty which comes with their house sauce. It's $2 a piece and I ordered 10 pieces. My husband devoured this dishes and loves it. Also ordered a large Bun Bo Hue, I believe it was $14 for large bowl. Tastes pretty good and I can taste they put shrimp paste in it. I also order Banh nam which is shrimp with mincemeat pork wrapped in banana leaf. I really missed this so had to ordered it. It hit the spot but I am used to the minced pork only without the shrimp with Banh nam. Ambiance is a pick and go place. There are some tables for dining in but I don't see people dining in. Will come back for the regular traditional Banh cuon. read more

The worst customer service I had ever been to. Forgot to pick up my order and they never called to give me a notice of forgotten item. When called back a lady said they did call multiple times which was a big lie. Asked for store credit and pick up a week later since I live far away but they said that they could not hold it for long and it must be picked up within a day. When someone I asked to go back and pick up the elderly lady said they needed time to make a new one--so apparently the one I ordered had been sold. What a pathetic excuse! The service got even more terrible when they refused to give the sauce that normally comes with the orders because it was previously given. Really. Never go back!!! read more

Sometimes I buy a lot of things here to give to my friends but every time it makes me very angry, the more they sell things without conscience, the quality is getting worse and worse and there is a lot of MSG, for example, buying a lot of things for a party but having to pay in cash, if I don't have enough money and use a card, they will charge me more than 8% I think they have been breaking the law for many years to avoid taxes, the more they do business the more dishonest they are. read more

I've only started eating bun bo hue the last few years thanks to my husband expanding my palate although I love Vietnamese food. I've tried LH2 a few times but going back recently to eat their bun bo hue was amazing. Their broth is so rich, red and flavorful. They don't skip on the protein and condiments. They have thinly sliced pork shank with good amount of crabmeat and for a little extra you can add the shrimp cakes. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the onions, cilantro, and cabbage give it an herbaceous touch it needed. The portions are big and the price is fair. I finished all the soup too! For the price and how much you receive, this place is def one of the best BBH places I've ever had. We've also tried their beef wraps and banh canh and that was also very good. Can't wait to come back! Good news for an Asian owned small business is that they take card! read more

Always great party trays from here. Ordered for a lunar new year work party and it was a hit! Spring rolls and shrimp dumplings were a hit.

I stopped by for egg rolls, which came highly recommended by my mom's friend. We bought a dozen, as they were freshly fried and ate a few immediately! The ingredients were tasty and flavorful, the wrapper was thin and crispy just how I like it! It was quick service and we paid with cash. It's a casual take out spot with baked goods and to go food options. I would definitely come back and try other food. read more

We ordered catering for our Christmas party and I came 30 minutes early to pick up our order. They were so accommodating and so efficient! The food was so tasty and so fresh. Delicious!

I felt like I got ripped off. I bought one banh canh tom cua, and 2 chao tom. Total was $24.50 when banh canh was listed to be only $12 and $3.50 for the chao tom.. Banh canh only had shrimp paste balls and bits of crab meat. Wasn't good. read more

Great for casual dining. I know they also do catering trays and to go orders. Mom and I came in for banh canh tom cua. Both got regular size bowls which were more than filling. I don't know how much crab was in it but there were shrimp balls and dried shrimp and greens and onions. With the amount of shrimp balls, I'm not mad that the crab was missing. Broth was simple but flavorful, banh canh was chewy, and shrimp balls were beo. I'm definitely coming back to try other items. read more

Recently ordered from BBH togo because a friend recommended it. I got a large bowl and it was listed at $13 a bowl. I do love how it came with so much fresh veggies, it had a variety of herbs I don't usually see with BBH so that was nice. Meat was semi tender, noodles were soft and puffy, the shrimp and fish/meat ball was tasty. The pork piece could have been more tender, and the pork blood is always tasty lol. The shrimp/fish/meatball were HUGE and I quite enjoyed that. The broth itself was ok, but I was missing more of the spice spice if you know what I mean. Comparing it to the other popular BBH place, I think this one lacks that dimension, that extra essence. Growing up as a kid, I frequent this plaza a lot and would wander in and out of all the stores. This place has been here forever and it has changed throughout the years. I remember when it was just a strict togo place, but now they have added tables and you can dine in as well. I'm glad to see this place still surviving after all these years. When I went to go order my food, a few people came in to order party trays etc. If you're an avid BBH lover like myself, and want to try all the ones in the area, I would give this one a try. You never know, your taste buds might be difference than mine. read more

If you want soapy banh beo... this is the place! Bought Banh Beo for Chinese New Year for the family. It looks great until you eat it. It literally has a detergent (soap) taste to it. We called to let them know that banh beo has a floral scent to it. Their response was, "it's new year- Please don't call and complain. We sold thousands of these with zero complaints." and hung up on me. We bought little over $200 worth of food... I mean, the rest of the food was alright except Banh beo. The customer service was unpleasant though. read more

Ordered here for Chinese New Year party at the recommendation of my friend. We ordered Cha oc, goi mit, soup mang cua, and bun bo hue. My family and I all agree that the BBH is a big disappointment. It lacks flavor of BBH whatsoever. on top of that, I initially ordered 1 bowl, and later wanted to change to one pot (which you need to bring your own pot btw), but they refused to combine and made us ordered the two separately. WTH? The cha oc and goi mit was also so so. The soup mang cua is pretty good, but they did not have centurion egg or quail egg- I'll order from Lamai next time. I would skip this place especially for their BBH read more

Definitely some of the best BBH (bun bo hue) I've had! It comes out piping hot and while at a glance it may not seem like much, the portions are actually pretty hefty. The fish ball things were meaty and packed with flavor too. $7 for a large bowl was definitely reasonable in my book. The vegetables that came with the meal was fresh and crisp. My girlfriend's banh canh was good, but the noodles were wayyy over done. The broth was good though, but it was just basically drinking soup at that point. They've also got some to go stuff that looks good as well! read more

I really like food at this place for a long time. However, quality is bad recently. They didn't t even care to the pork skin or get hair off the pork feet. read more

This is my second favorite place for bun bo hue. The cha here is SO good for the price - large and nicely flavored and addicting! By far my favorite BBH cha anywhere. I also stop by here to get the cha hue loaf for my mom since she loves it. The broth is absolutely great for the price, and pretty consistent! I've gone to numerous other places (all more expensive too) and their broth is average or blander. It IS on the sweeter side and the flavor isn't as rich as my favorite place, but it's still very delicious to eat as is. I'll add a bit of mam ruot and fish sauce if it's a bit blander than what they usually offer. I also appreciate that they give you a lot of veggies on the side! They recently switched their takeout containers from styrofoam over to the thicker plastic containers as well, so you can rest assured it's more secured. read more

One of the best bún bò Hu (spicy beef vermicelli soup) out in Bolsa. The bowl comes filled with a generous portion of beef shank, pork paste, shrimp paste, pork hock, Beef blood cubes, and a nice dish of traditional Vietnamese veggies to accommodate. The noodles are cooked al dente, and the broth is perfect. Has the perfect balance of mm tôm shrimp paste and rock sugar. The broth isn't spicy at all but they have chili paste and chili sate set up on all the table tops. If you're like me and like extra kick, ask for t him Fresh thai chilis. They also have a variety of dishes that are also excellent like their bánh t tht nng (rice noodle rolled with barbecue pork, think spring roll but with a soft rice noodle wrapping )and their bánh bt lc (tapioca dumplings filled with pork belly and shrimp) in which they have two kinds available- wrapped with banana leaf and unwrapped. This place is more so a to go spot but you can dine in like I do. Although I have to warn you service is definitely your typical asian kind of service meaning they're kinda rude and if you don't speak Vietnamese, bring a picture and show them what you want. Majority of the staff have a thick Hue accent and are a bit on the grouchy side and will do the bare minimum. Meaning you won' get anything to drink UNLESS you ask. As rude as they can be at times, they do offer food to the homeless when approached, which I think speaks a lot of their true intentions. Besides that, I come for the food NOT the service. read more

I normally go to the Lien Hue in garden grove and this weekend, went to visit this location for the first time. Unfortunately, compared to their other location, I feel like the food is subpar. I love the banh canh and bun bo hue from the other location so the chef must be different as the food here came out under flavored. Although this location was slightly bigger, the customer service was not great, even for a Vietnamese location. My husband went to pay up front and gave the woman a 50$ bill. She returned only 10$ instead of 30$ in change and he had to stand there and tell her that it was short. I had a feeling she did that purposely because he did not speak the language. Overall, I think I will be sticking to their garden grove location even though it's further for me. Better tasting food and better customer service. read more

It's a Vietnamese sandwich and everything shop. When I walk into this place and order food I feel like my mom's home cooked meal. They get all the Vietnamese flavors right. Bun no hue is bomb here! Banh beo is tasty, too. You can eat there or take it to go. I usually eat the food here because I'm not patient enough to bring home to eat. The price has gone up a tiny bit due to inflation, but but everything is reasonably priced. if I'm ever in Westminster, I make sure to make a stop there. They have never let me down. If it weren't for covid-19, I'd be there right now. read more

Party trays for dayyssss!! My family's parties always have plenty of food for the guests to have seconds and thirds and a portion togo for the week. We never run out of food! For my cousin's birthday I was in charge of picking up food for the party since they were so busy with their kids' activities that morning. I came the day prior to put in and pay for the order. We ordered: 2 x100 banh beo ($18/100) 2 x100 banh loc tran ($35/100) 1 goi thap cam ($25) 25 nem nuong cuon ($35) 25 goi cuon ($35) 50 banh uot thit nuong ($70) 25 goi cuon chay ($35) For such a large order most food tray businesses in the past usually gives me some nice boxes to carry my food but I actually had to carry trays and trays to my car all by myself. The people working there had no customers and they didn't offer to help me. Food quality has room for improvement... The banh uot thit nuong was probably the best thing and the goi cuon chay was also good but all of the other items I prefer ordering at other places. My cousin likes this place and it was his birthday so I wanted to get him what he wanted, but in the future I am definitely sticking to Lam Van or even Huong Giang. This place is only better than Da Kao... I can't really see myself coming back. read more

We cater food here all the time. Been great every single time. The banh vớt loc is our favorite.

Ordered some party trays from here for my birthday. I ordered last minute and they had my food ready in about am hour. I don't speak any Vietnamese but that wasn't a problem at all. I ordered banh beo, combination fried rice, rare beef and lime salad, chow mein,seafood goi, spring rolls, and a few other things. The food was a hit at the birthday party. read more

The Nem Nuong Cuon is delicious. I also had a large Bun Rieu and the portion was good for the price. It looks popular amongst locals.

This is the place I go to when I need to order BUN BO HUE for a huge party. They have good Hue comfort food. Bun Bo Hue Banh Loc Banh nam Egg rolls I picked up my order and bought it home. My parent came to visit. And my mom is the traditional cook. So She knows what's the original flavor or not. By my surprise, she said it's good. Of course, it's not compare to my mom cooking but it's close to it. Easy to place order and pick up for convenience and preparation. You order by how much you want. $20 or $40 or $60. Depends on how many people you are having over. The ladies here accent is strong. But it's like music to my ears because it remind me of my household during holiday. HAHAHAH :) read more

**SWEET BUT NOT SPICY BUN BO HUE** 3.5 stars. PARKING ======= Strip mall. AMBIANCE ======== Small and divey, but endearing. Customers and owners are all friendly here. Mom and pops restaurant. FOOD ===== BANH BEO - $6 A whole bunch of the pancakes on a platter; not in individual dishes. Needed more chopped dried or fresh shrimp, scallions, mung bean paste, and crispy fried shallots. The cake was also too thick. RATING: 3/5 BUN BO HUE - $6 for small Good noodles, generous meats, but not spicy enough. Broth was sweet. The soup came out lukewarm and not hot. RATING: 4/5 OVERALL ======== This place is solid with its soups and Hue dishes, but I do like my bánh bèo served differently (in individual dishes) and my bún bò hue spicier. However, it is a solid restaurant for Hue (Central Vietnam) regional cuisine, I will still RECOMMEND it. read more

Every time we have a potluck, my friend brings some delicious Vietnamese dish. I finally had the chance to check out this place she goes and pick up some yummy food. Located a few doors down from Boiling Crab, this place is small and mainly for to-go catering orders. Parking is available, but I could see it being super packed on weekends. You can order some dishes for dine in but it's not really that kind of place. We picked up my favorites: Goi Ngo Sen (lotus root salad) and small order of Bahn Beo. Reasonably priced and fresh. I think it's cash only? Or at least credit card isn't advertised. Language may be an issue, but my friend ordered for me. But now as long as I know the names of the things I like, I think I'll be okay. Will be back soon! read more

I ordered 100 egg rolls for $50, 40 goi cuon (spring rolls) for $1.30/ea, and 20 banh it (mochi balls with shrimp & pork) for $10. Everything was ready by the time I specified. The only thing was that they were short-staffed so I had to make 2 trips to the car by myself. Everything was tasty and delicious. My family thought so too and asked me where I bought them from. Glad to know that they have other dishes to go as well. Decent pricing and the order was completed with no issues. There are a few tables to sit down and eat but it's mainly a food-to-go place. It's a good thing I can order food in Vietnamese. I suppose that there might be someone in the back that speaks English, but sometimes there might not be anyone. Parking is chaotic since this place is in the same area as Boiling Crab. You've been warned. read more
