2nd time: We ordered a side of cha gio and the Mam #3 combo. The cha gio was perfectly crispy, I really must say shatteringly crispy as only rice paper can be when done right (other restaurants use the wheat version which is inferior), the stuffing was tasty and without the taro fillers I find elsewhere. I loved the mustard green soup just like the way we made at home in the old country. The greens crisp tender, the broth slightly sweet and savory. The fried tofu with the crispy pork bits sits a pool of sauce exemplifies part of what is great about traditional Viet cooking: heavy on plant based food while the animal products is meant heighten the flavor. Finally the shrimp and pork caramel dish compliments the soup and the tofu for even more flavor and texture of the shrimp peel (totally edible). Mam Kitchen is the only restaurant where I want to keep eating even when I am full. I am coming back for the Mam Oc (shellfish). read more

Not surprisingly, the service at this Vietnamese restaurant was very unprofessional. We don't need fake smiles if the staff doesn't know how to manage customers properly. I arrived first and waited for 15 minutes, but then I saw the waitress seat customers who came after me, and they were served before us. How does that make sense? Very disappointing experience. I will never come back here again. read more

Just dine in not so long ago, everything is good tbh but the only thing made me a bit down is that. Mam Ca & Dua Cai is $10, not sure if its something normal but it was our first time and we thought it came with one of our dishes since our waiter did not elaborate about extra fees, but simply ask after we finished ordering. Food is good tho, service is normal. But for the price I would say many other vietnamese spot around are more competitively read more

This was our first time dining here, and we were very impressed. We ordered the canh chua cá, tôm rim ba rọi, canh khoai mỡ, and cá lù đù chiên, and every dish was exceptionally delicious. The prices were reasonable, making the meal an even better value. The restaurant isn't very large, but it's the perfect size for a cozy family atmosphere. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. We will definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes. Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant is located near the H Mart area in Garden Grove, which is convenient and easy to find. The space has a Central Vietnam vibe cute, tidy, and very clean. Some of the dishes brought me back to Hội An, especially the more traditional items. The bánh bèo was Hội A style and the highlight of our meal. The crispy pork skin was delicious, and the fish sauce was well balanced and complemented the dish nicely. We also tried the bún bò Huế . While it was flavorful, the broth was a bit sweet for my taste, so it didn't fully hit the mark. The Cơm Cá Salmon came in a large portion, but the flavor was fairly average and not very memorable. The service was friendly, and there is plenty of parking right in front ! read more

Combo #1 Cá kho tastes not good. Lack of flavor. I can't feel any pepper and it is so plain. I asked to change the boilded rau muống for stir fries rau muống but the owner said that the menu combo couldn't be changed at all. Even for extra charge. The owner refused to do anything. I ordered an extra dish of thit kho tiêu. The meat has bad smell while chewing. We couldn't eat. So we left the entire dish un-touch. The canh chua has no flavor at all. They didn't put the garlic fries on top. The soup plain. So disappointed. We never come back. The 4.5 stars reviews on Yelp must not be true. We paid $45 ended up empty stomach and went to Mc Donald. Super disappointed. read more

Mâm means tray in Vietnamese -- the way families traditionally gather around shared trays for everyday meals. I came here because I was craving that exact feeling of a simple, comforting, home‑cooked meal, and this place really captured that spirit. I ordered their family‑style set, which came with steamed greens, perfectly boiled eggs that were firm on the outside and jammy in the center, a bright and tangy sour soup, braised fish, and rice. Everything tasted wholesome and nostalgic, like something you'd find in a Vietnamese home kitchen. I also added the clams with basil stir‑fry, which were fragrant and fresh. The atmosphere was lovely, with hand‑painted walls that made the space feel warm and intentional. It's the kind of place where you can slow down and enjoy a real meal. If I could change one thing, I do wish the flavors were a bit stronger overall -- just a touch more seasoning or depth would have made the dishes even more memorable. A couple of small details could also be improved: I wished the bathroom had a hook or small table for my handbag, and while the hot sauce and sate jars were full, the outside of the container was sticky. A quick wiped own everyday would make the experience feel more polished. Still, the food absolutely satisfied my craving for a comforting, home‑style Vietnamese meal. read more

The places looks absolutely amazing and clean.. it gives you that old school vibe and the foods amazing

Tried this place again and all foods was still flavored way too sweet for my family's liking. Braised pork and braised pork belly meat is worth going for. Gave the sweet and sour catfish soup another chance because I really like the veggies they put in it but the soup is just way too sweet to enjoy. The mung bean Pennyworth drink tasted old and they didn't stiff the mung bean where you could taste the grit/grain so it was harsh on the throat. We didn't touch it after tasting. Also wished they would write down order or repeat back the order. The server only took order by ear and originally we asked for braised pork belly with shrimp but he gave us braised pork belly and catfish instead. When we brought it up, like last time instead of owning up, he only ask if we want to order it additionally. (This similarly happened last time too). Additionally we didn't finish all our food or take any home, that says a lot. On the brighter side, there was AC this time. read more

Finally, I found a restaurant that sells bánh đập & bánh bèo nhân ướt in the US. We ordered bánh đập thịt nướng, bánh bèo tôm thịt & bánh bèo nhân ướt, and cao lầu. - Bánh đập: the sauce was very good. We ordered 5 cakes for 2 persons. - Bánh bèo: the dishes were warm, the cakes were soft. They were freshly made. - Cao lầu: it's good. Better quality than the ones I had in Hoi An market. Service was great. Very nice decorations. read more

We saw this place reviewed on the Facebook but was skeptical because many times the review look good but tast were so bad. This time we was passing by so we just taking a chance and hoping maybe it won't be so bad and keeping our finger crossing. Inside it's decoration with nice, warm Hoi An or Huế stylish. Services are very friendly, polite and fast. There are special dinner combo menu. The price is very reasonable, $29 for 3 items. We pick #1 and decided to order extra items just for $6 - $8 per item. Food came out very fast and unbelievable large portion comparing to many restaurants around here. Even the extra items were large portion too. Canh chua came with warmer and taste good. Cá kho tộ, thịt/ tôm rim, đậu hủ chiên... all are delicious. Btw, rice came with food without extra charge like many restaurants. The corn milk drink is good too. We haven't eat a good meal like this for awhile. We definitely will come back with friends and family. read more

Faifoo is now Mam Kitchen (is wrongly called Mam Restaurant on Yelp) as it recently had a name and menu change. Mam means platters of food and you have 5 options to choose from, with each platter containing a pot of rice, a soup, a veggie or tofu dish, and a protein dish. I chose Mam #2, which came with crispy tofu, pork belly kho, and a squash and veggie soup, all for $28. Each Mam (or platter) is preset, and they said no substitutions but you can order additional dishes. They also kept 2/3 of the old Faifoo menu so their popular dishes are still on the menu like banh beo, Mi Quang, bun Bo Hue etc. They also slightly remodeled so I love this new Mam Kitchen concept. read more

We ordered the current #1 meal for two which included canh chua, clay pot catfish (ca kho to?), fried tofu, and added on banh beo. The tofu was ok, the clay pot catfish was too sweet. I was looking forward to the sweet n sour catfish soup but it was the item that really made us want to leave right away. Imagine drinking a hot spoonful of the sweat from a white mans armpit. ok.. that wasn't nice but honestly, whether they used cumin or ngo om, they went overboard with it making it absolutely inedible. read more

With authentic and delicious Vietnamese dishes, Mâm Kitchen, a hidden gem in Garden Grove, offers many choices: family styles on Mâm (tray), exotic vegetable dishes and salads, soups, main courses, deserts, etc. You just have to be there to review their extended menu! Or check out their online menu. The place is decorated with multicolored lanterns hung in the ceiling and the walls have the paintings depicting Hội-An region (central Vietnam) and culure! I just love the ambienceI I am so very glad that I was introduced to this unique dining place!!! I hope everyone will give this restaurant a visit and extent your support! For sure, I will be back! Oh, I meant to mention also that the price is way very low for each dish; it's like 3/4 of the price of other restaurants; and here, they offer more in volume, not just good taste. There are plenty of parking spaces which is a plus + ! Adding a little desert experience! It was a delight! The flan serving was just perfect in size, creamy taste, served with tiny cubes of ice, for just $3ish! That completed my meal with satisfaction! read more

Rude owner. We always try to support new restaurants, so I brought my family (four people, including two elderly relatives who eat very small portions). I explained to the waitress that one family member was just there to hang out and I planned to start with one meal (which came with three dishes) and possibly order more depending on how the food was. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The canh/soup was bland, the salad and meat didn't complement each other, and overall the dishes lacked flavor. Because of that, we decided not to order additional food. We still finished what we had, paid, and even left a tip. What really ruined the experience was the attitude. From the moment we ordered lightly, I noticed the waitress speaking with the owner, and both of them glaring at our table. The restaurant was not busy at all (only two tables were seated), so it was very noticeable. After we paid and left, the owner came outside and actually threw "muối gạo" at us, which was a gesture meant to imply our family was bad luck. That is shockingly unprofessional and disrespectful. As a new restaurant, one would expect at least friendliness and good service to encourage customers to return. Instead, we experienced tasteless food, hostile looks, and a very rude gesture from the owner. Needless to say, we will not be coming back. Not recommended. read more

I like this place a lot. Price is reasonable cheap. I have been here twice and will go again. Sour soup, clay pot fish, pork belly wt shrimp are my favorite ones. Service is nice.
