    Wonton and Xa xiu egg noodles soup
    Natalie T.

    Never say no with the Egg noodles soup . It's always good. Highly recommend it. Yum yum

    Free drink

    Pho ap chao bo aka beef chow fun is the best here. Comes with a side of their special spicy soy sauce so you can control the saltiness. Love that they give you a free chrysanthemum tea with each entree, even for to go orders! Portions are great value! Could feed two or perfect leftovers for the next day. After dining in and getting more entrees to go, they gave us an additional free bottled drink to go.

    Salmon with rice. Great option during lent

    We've been to this location for years. Always order the shaking beef and salmon with rice. My husband likes the crunchy rice and soft for me. Parking can be tight during peak hours and weekends. I also love their free herbal teas.

    My friends and I came here on a whim to eat before getting matcha next door at Viland. We were very satisfied with our meal! I took pictures of our food, which looked delicious, but I thought it would be good to show how we literally all emptied our bowls completely. I ordered the beef stew pho, one friend ordered wonton noodle soup with yellow noodles, and another friend ordered congee. All meals come with a cup of sweet tea. We couldn't figure out what tea it was... maybe chrysanthemum? But it was VERY sweet. A lot of Vietnamese restaurants are cash only but they take card here.

    Pretty convenient late night Vietnamese diner open until midnight. Food and service was fast. Cash only! Plenty of parking. Portions were large and straightforward. No frills and free herbal drink. Actually decent amount of people getting food but no wait at 11pm.

    Salmon With Grilled or Steamed Rice / Com Nuong Ca Salmon
    Amy L.

    The food is home style and could work on the seasoning. Salmon with crispy rice - overall bland and the sauce served with it is the saving grace. Stir fried noodles - unlike the salmon it was a salty. The lup cheong pieces alone were salty so the dish itself could've done without it.

    I'm from San Jose, but I always come here whenever I vacation in SoCal because my boyfriend loves this place. We usually come for the crispy salmon rice alone. This time, we still got the salmon crispy rice but I also ordered the Hu tieu luc dinh ky to try because I was craving soup. The crispy salmon rice was as good as I remembered it being the last time I came here. Not sure how they get the perfect crispness but they did. The sauce and veggies that come with the plate completes the dish as a whole. Even if you don't really like fish or seafood, I think many people would enjoy it. Now, the Hu tieu luc dinh ky was good too. The only thing I didn't like was that the noodles inside were the thin noodles like pho. Most Hu tieu restaurants I go to use the flat, white and thick noodles. I wished I knew this because I would have ordered it with the mi (yellow noodles) instead. The Hu tieu was still good nonetheless. The broth was flavorful and savory, you don't really get tired of sipping the soup. Some of the meat like the chicken in the soup was overwhelming for me to eat because it was so thick. I wished they had cut it into smaller pieces, but it's okay. I'll be back here still every time I come back to socal. Now at least I know what to order for next time when I'm craving the soup along with the crispy salmon rice hehe. Also, the complimentary drink they give you with your order is so refreshing. A great audition to have with the meal.

    Love this place! Super nostalgic but also hits the spot whenever I'm in Bolsa. Staff are super kind and sweet whenever I go. The salmon is my go to! My group and I went pretty late at night and it was still popping with a lot of people so you know it's good!!

    Great food and friendly service. The government you complimentary tea Always comeback for the crispy salmon.

    Easy parking + no wait time + no frills + friendly service + staple location for Vietnamese cuisine. I brought my boyfriend to try the com nuong bo luc lac ($16) and com nuong ca salmon ($16) which each comes with a complimentary chrysanthemum tea. Food is delicious as always. :)

    #: crispy salmon & crispy rice
    Stephanie N.

    My dear husband went after work to pick me up some goodies after I told him I was craving some food after watching some food reels. He got me one of their popular items on their menu, the #3 crispy salmon with crispy rice. It was easy to place an order over the phone, and they were very nice during the pick up. They even gave a free iced tea to go. Glad they accept cards too without an extra charge. I enjoyed the crispy salmon. It was still crispy when he brought it home. And I really enjoyed the crispy rice & sauces it came with. Looking forward to trying more on the menu.

    I always get the bo luc lac, so so good and for a very good price and their noodle wonton soup is really good too

The food comes out quick and it may not be a Michelin star worthy food but it's definitely a comfort food for a lot of people. Their black bean noodles are a staple but I also recommend the spicy shrimp, sweet n sour pork, and sizzling rice soup. Their jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle soup) is just ok.. Service is great because I think the servers recognize my family but speaking Korean also helps. Unfortunately, I have witnessed some of the servers being kind of rude to other patrons. The servers are just always in a rush. But I always find myself going back whenever we have a big group. Don't expect a nice, clean, modern ambiance. The carpets old, decor is questionable, and sometimes there's a weird smell. But I will continue to go here.

Green beans are flavorful and crispy as well! Hot and sour soup is HUGE. They aren't consistent in making this because some days it's the perfect balance of tangy and spicy flavor, but other times its tooooo sour. The restaurant is very spacious.

This helped us get a table much faster than we would have than if we had just shown up and waited. We ordered the large family meal, and there were 12 of us. We also ordered the Newport Lobster, fish fillet with black bean sauce, and an extra shrimp fried rice. Overall, I think the food was good, and the prices are reasonable (except the lobster, which was pricey, as you might expect from anything listed as "market price"). Most of us in the group thought the fish fillet with black bean sauce was the best. I thought it was very good, but not necessarily fantastic. (There are other Chinese restaurants that do it a little better.) The sauce was very good, but the fish wasn't quite as tender as it can be. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Other dishes were good. I think the scallop soup could have been great for some people, but my wife and I both hate cilantro, and there was a ton of cilantro. The pork was also good, and my friends thought the clams were also really good. I found the fried rice a bit bland. And for both the lobster and the crab, they could have made them a little easier to eat by cracking the shells a bit more for us. I hate fighting with my food ... And there was a fair amount of fighting on these 2 dishes. The lobster cost almost much as all the other dishes combined. It certainly looked amazing. And the sauce was very good. But I found most of it a bit overcooked. Maybe it was our fault for asking for a big one. Maybe a smaller lobster might have been cooked a little less. The great sauce (along with the fighting with the shell) might have covered up the fact that the meat was actually a bit tough and rubbery. I don't think I'd order this again. The service was very friendly and pretty fast. And, again, other than the lobster, the pieces were pretty reasonable.

Our family joked around and would say let's go to the travel agency restaurant when we had a craving for Chinese/Vietnamese type of food. I recall the food back then was extra tasty and memorable, leaving me wanting to return again and again. However, my recent lunch outing with my girlfriends changed my mind. Our servers were attentive and friendly. I think it helped that my friend was a familiar customer. We came on a Monday afternoon around 11:30 and It was early enough where parking was still available. We ordered the classic dishes, including salt and pepper fried pork chopsand salt and pepper fried shrimp, but the taste this time around left a lot to be desired. These two dishes lacked the crunchiness and flavors that these fried entrees are supposed to showcase. We found the pork chops to be dry and tough, as if it was prepared a while ago and sitting out for some time before it made its way to our table. The shrimp was not impressive either. At least the shaking beef or bo luc lac was good. The beef chunks were tender, and the flavors were on point. Bonus points for the broth that is complimentary during lunch. Also the complimentary orange slices were a nice touch to end our meal. We'd still return for the lobster and noodle when the occasion comes up.
