    Mien cua tron
    Trang N.

    Dined here on a Wednesday night and there was a good amount of people. The restaurant has a very modern aesthetic. The servers were nice, but it took a while to get their attention when we needed extra condiments or plates. I ordered the mien cua tron. It wasn't bland, but also not flavorful, aside from the very peppery cha ca. It came with a side of soup that was good. My cousin ordered the bun rieu and I had a taste of the broth. It had a very mam tom forward flavor profile, which I don't like. My cousin thought it was underwhelming. Our take is that the best bun rieu is made at home. If I see a matcha latte on the menu, I'm gonna get it. I got their matcha latte and regretted it instantly. The worst "matcha" I've ever had. It tasted more like a poorly made green thai tea. Overall, I most likely will not be back unless a friend really wants to go.

    Pork wrap

    I've been in a phase of making my own Vietnamese food/rolls lately and was excited to try this place, but unfortunately left disappointed. We ordered these two below, and overall sauces were not good, veggie proportions for the meal was off, quality was lacking and inconsistent, meat was not great. Vermicelli with crab meat spring rolls (Bun Nem cua be)- saw crab meat and wanted to try it, but it tasted nothing like crab. The rolls themselves were hot and crispy, and enjoyable when fresh. The fish sauce on the side was lacking and could've had much more flavor if it was better. Pork wrapped in rice paper (Thit heo cuon banh thang mam nem)- Underwhelming. So little carrots and the pork slices were very thin and tasteless. Also it was interesting that it includes pineapple slices. The fermented sauce was not good at all. Viet Coffee was also not filled all the way, despite already having a lot of ice, and it was overly sweet. I added water just to balance it out a bit. The restaurant itself looks modern, clean, and nicely designed, but overall I wasn't impressed with the gimmicky presentation and the food didn't live up to expectations.

    Combo set

    I came in craving a taste of a Vietnamese home cooked meal and was served exactly that! The combo set came with a variety of dishes you might see at grandma's house. Fried tofu was not super crispy, but on the light and airy side with a sweet and savory sauce. The braised pork (thit kho) had a deep caramelized sauce and tender meat, though the egg appeared to be deep fried and tough to eat with it's rubbery texture. It may have been in the pot a bit too long. Most comforting was the simple but warm spinach soup, clean but tasty. It was on the slightly more salty end but would be perfect with rice. To complement, there were pickled mustard greens and salted roasted peanuts. Some of these would be easy to make at home but a great value for a homey meal outside.

    4.5/5 My family went on a Saturday night. We got seated right away. The restaurant is nice, modern and comfortable (thought the bathroom could've used some attention). Food was good. We got bun rieu, banh mi chao, and thit heo banh trang. I really liked the mango iced tea.

    We originally wanted to try out this restaurant because we saw they had "Banh Cuon Thit Nuong", but unfortunately once we arrived, we saw they had changed the menu and it was just vermicelli noodles. Still, we were already there so we continued on with our meal. - PARKING - Small lot but easily found a spot. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Very updated, modernized feel inside. Lots of space, big booths and tables. After we ordered, the food came out erratically, like a bowl of Pho first, and at least 5-10 minutes until the next 2 dishes, and another 5 minutes until the next 2. It wasn't a huge deal but some of the party was left awkwardly waiting while everyone else started to eat. - FOOD - Bun Cha Ha Noi: This was the dish that replaced the Banh Cuon Thit Nuong, so I got this one instead. I felt like the portion size wasn't very big, especially for the price. The meat patties and slices were good, but the sauce itself was too salty. The veggies also tasted unwashed and gritty. I had some of my husband's Ca Kho and that was also on the sweeter side. - OVERALL - Not very impressed with the food, and will likely not come back.

    Stopped by this second location and had a really solid meal overall for dinner with the family. There was cushion seating for groups, and we sat to order a dish for each of us. The crab egg rolls stood out right away, and you can actually taste the crab, not just filler, and they came out crispy and well balanced. My wife ordered the catfish, and that was another win. Fresh, soft, and full of flavor without being too rich. But all the dishes are a bit fancy for the price, so we were at least expecting more portions too. I went with the Hanoi pork bún, and the patties were the highlight. Nice flavor, good texture, and the fat oil wasn't overly a salty bomb. Don't forget to add the sliced pickled garlic here, as that garnishment really brought everything together. I do wish there was just a bit more meat in the bowl, but it still hit the spot. The space has a relaxed, slightly refined feel to it, making it a nice choice for a casual date night. The owner definitely spent some time to figure out the decor for a wooden calming feel for place someone might come back to!

    A Vietnamese restaurant located inside the Little Saigon area of Garden Grove. It has a nicer ambience than some of the others and the food is really good as well. Honestly, you really can't go wrong in this area, but I felt that the restaurant was reasonably priced for a large portion sizes and the food was authentically delicious. Our table tried to variety of noodle soup dishes, as well as their famous fish rice paper wrap platter. The appetizers started out strong with the spring rolls and a very fresh duck salad. I've heard others say that the pricing is a bit more expensive than in the area, but I feel like the ambience of the restaurant and presentation of the food justified the cost. I would definitely come again.

    I went to this place for dinner, it serves Hanoi style dishes. I ordered miến trộn, bánh đa cua, and bánh mì que. Bánh đa cua was pretty decent, a bit watery but still okay, definitely my favorite of the three. Bánh mì que was a bit bland, not super exciting, and miến trộn was just okay, nothing special. Service was alright, not amazing but not careless either. The place is newly opened, clean, and easy to find. The portions are a bit small for the price, so it feels a little pricey after eating. Overall, the food is decent, bánh đa cua is the best, the other dishes are just average, but if you want to try Hanoi flavors in a clean and comfortable spot, this place is definitely worth checking out.

    4/2/26 My Gf's and I saw this restaurant on social feeds and bookmarked it to try when we visit SoCal. I don't love giving less than average ratings so this one was a family decision to call out. Fast forward to Spring Break 2026, we made the drive to come check this new establishment out between our Disneyland visits. Aesthetically restaurant appears very modern, clean and inviting and you really can't beat a restaurant named "Ngon" which means delicious in Vietnamese. I love the aesthetics personally. Beautiful tile on the walls, simple bamboo touches in the wall dividers. We were seated right away, only a couple other tables were eating when we arrived at 10:30am. No greetings or smiles from staff, felt a bit cold and distant. We looked over the menu, server stopped by and asked if we were ready to order and I shared no as it was our first time there. The server recommended getting the signature dishes. We started off with (2) orders of the BANH MI QUE Mini baguette sticks with pate (3 pcs) as we loved this app at Sen (another local restaurant. This one was ok, pate wasn't creamy, more of a slightly chunky and dry texture/taste. Partner ordered the first item under signature dishes PHỞ BÒ HÀ NỘI and I ordered the NEM CUA BỂ Crab meat spring rolls (3 pcs). For my sons, my boys both love a good Vietnamese Sizzling Steak and Eggs (Bò Né) and we will travel far and wide to satisfy their tummy cravings! This restaurant calls it BÁNH MÌ CHẢO BÒ WAGYU described as Baguette with combo pan Wagyu beef. The NEM CUA BỂ Crab meat spring rolls (3 pcs) that I ordered arrived first cut in half with ONE lettuce, cilantro and mint. Eggrolls were not anything special. Not crunchy, and without the additional lettuce, my last couple bites were lacking the fresh greens to go with. Next up was the Pho with a plate of bean sprouts. The pho is described as a northern style clear simply yet savory beef broth. I did get to sample and I felt like the usual pho spices of star anise, cinnamon, and cloves wasn't very noticeable. Broth was a tad bland. They didn't bring out any pho condiments like hoisin or siracha when they brought the bowl out. This was a huge miss for us as we saw these bottles of condiments at every table except ours oddly enough. Last out was the sizzling wagyu plates that arrived with no sizzle. Meat was thin and tender. Sauce was ok. Our Server never checked on us to ensure everything was ok or if we needed anything. We all had one napkin each. I would have asked for more lettuce and napkins if anyone was available for us to ask but no one was really around when we wanted to ask. Our server wasn't attentive and the restaurant wasn't busy. I walked up to the pay counter and was read my order and I paid, tipped and left. No thank you's, comments such as come again, questions of experience or anything. My highlight of this trip, this is next to cococane where I can grab my sugar cane beverage fix before leaving. Shrugs. With so many great Vietnamese restaurants in SoCal, I wouldn't come back. It's super clean but lacks hospitality and flavor.

    Aesethically, it fits well with the decor of today's clean, organic, natural trendy vibe. They took over the previous restaurant that I grew up knowing in this part of town. Taste and food-wise, I wish Ngon (translated in Vietnamese, means delicious) was more...well, ngon. I tried the restaurant twice. The first time I ordered the Band Da Cua Tron (dry crab red noodle) and I anticipated chewy, soft, bouncy wide noodles. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment as the noodles came out stale, as if it was from the day before? The broth and sauce, or should I say the lack thereof, left much to be desired. The vietnamese coffee: I did not ask for less ice but it came looking like someone took a huge gulp of my coffee...it was missing 1/4 of the cup. I thought it was an off-day so I suggested to my friend to try a second time and I ordered the ca nuong (grilled fish with fermented sauce and rice paper). The visual upon arrival to our table was 10/10; the grilled fish portions had a beautiful amber and turmeric color, the filets of fish were huge and the herbs looked fresh. Without wasting time, I bit into a morsel of fish only to find a tough, dry and flavorless bite. Disappointment had set in a second time for me. Perhaps these aren't the best dishes they had to offer and maybe I set too high of an expectation but I'm saddened to say I will not recommend.

    Hai phong crab red noodle soup, crab spring rolls and grilled fish
    Jason Y.

    Went to Garden Grove to check out Ngon for some northern Vietnamese food. The restaurant is spacious and has a good amount of tables. We got to try the bun nem cua be which were crab meat spring rolls, banh ba cua hai phong which was a red crab noodle soup and ca nuong riêng me cuon banh trang which was grilled fish where you wrapped your own spring rolls. The crab meat spring rolls were deep fried and came with lettuce, herbs and vermicelli. You would use the lettuce as the base and add the herbs on top with the fried spring roll and do a wrap. It pairs well with the fish sauce. The rolls were crispy and not oily. There was a good amount of meat in each roll. The red crab noodle soup was made with a clear broth. It tasted clean and I enjoyed all the veggies inside. It had morning glory and bean sprouts inside which gave the rice noodles a crunch as you take each bite. The grilled fish was delicious. It was meaty and had nice flavor. It came with rice paper on the side so you could roll your own spring rolls. I would wet the rice paper and add the veggies followed by fish on top and roll it up then dip in the fish sauce. I enjoyed the meal as you are able to use your hands to eat. It is just a different type of dining experience. All the dishes came with a lot of fresh veggies as well so it is a healthier alternative.

    Ngon is ngon! Owned by the same team behind Hanoi Group, this spot stands out for having authentic Hanoi food in a clean, spacious, and more elevated setting than your usual Viet restaurant. The portions are generous, and everything we tried was well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. We ordered the family Viet combo, which came with an impressive spread of dishes. The highlights were definitely the fish and the crispy tofu. We also enjoyed classic Hanoi favorites like bún chả, bún đậu mắm tôm, and ca wraps. The restaurant was packed, which speaks for itself, but service didn't miss a beat. We were seated right away, and the food came out quickly. We'll definitely be back.

    Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
