    Great menu with a wide variety of seafood and other dishes. Everything we tried was super flavorful and delicious. Chicken feet- good and unique blend of fish sauce sweetness. Nice crispy exterior, but there wasn't much meat. Snails- very small snails, but packed with flavor. The satay and corn flavor reminded me of those addictive Asian snack flavors, like seasoned chips. Crispy Shrimp- Really tasty with rich, buttery garlic flavors. Slightly overcooked, making them a bit harder to peel, but still enjoyable overall. I wanted to try something different than OC & Lau around the area, and glad I did!

    The decor is kind of hard to pin down, but parts of it gave me the vibe of being tucked away in an alley somewhere in Hong Kong- low-key, a little gritty, but in a cool, intentional way. Service was quick and non-intrusive. The food holds its own too. One thing I really liked is that with most dishes, you get to choose the sauce it comes with. It adds a nice level of customization, and it's especially great that they offer salted egg as an option which I don't see often.. Oysters w/ garlic butter: 8/10 - Fresh, huge, and super succulent. Lobster in salted egg yolk: 8/10 - Good portion for the price with decent-sized lobster tails. The sauce is the star here. Salted fish fried rice: 8/10 - Simple but really well done. Great mix of textures, and whatever they're doing with the seasoning works. Easily one of the better fried rices I've had in a while.

    Bun Bò Thố Da (Hot Stone Bowl)

    Glad To See That Ốc A Chảy Reopened After The Small Strip Of Businesses Burned Down Late Of 2024!! That Strip Was Also On Brookhurst But Closer To Trask Ave. Most Of You Might Remember It Taking Over KOC Crawfish. The New Location Is Closer To Garden Grove Blvd & Has Collaborated With Bún Bò Huế Mợ Lan. Was Greeted/Seated Right Away. Was Given 2 Different Menus. It Seems As If Each Table Was Given White Butcher Paper, Even If You Don't Order Any Bar/Beer Food (I.e., Crawfish, Sea Snails etc...) A Server Came By. Someone At My Table Ordered A Beverage & Before I Can Order Mine The Server Walked Away. Is That Common In A Typical Vietnamese Restaurant? Yes! Ha! I Tried The Bun Bò Thố Da, The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Broth That Comes In A Hot Stone Bowl & Everything Else Is Plated. Missing The Aroma Of LemonGrass It Was Still Pretty Tasty. After Getting Home, I Felt The 'MSG' Come On! Also Tried The Fried Salt & Pepper Chicken Feet & Chicken Cartlidge. Pretty Good Stuff!!

    Here in the morning at 10am for Bun Bo hue Mo Lan, I wanna say they shared a business with OC A chay because the menu where different in the morning or when we got there. Which was fine because I was craving bun bo hue, and I just finished filing my taxes which it was a couple of doors down the same plaza. This review is an honest one, I know there is a sign in near the cash register about placing a five star review for a soda, ON WHICH I DID NOT DO! AS A YELP ELITE, WE DO NOT TAKE BRIBES!! I spent my own money here. Keep in mind they don't take cards, only cash or you can zelle/ venmo them. They even provide a QR code for easy payment. My total bill was $20.11 (see picture) below and I had to zelle so be aware that they prefer cash. My mom and I wanted to try their bun bo hue since our favorite spot in GG quality has gone down and it wasn't the same owner anymore. We just ordered one bowl of bun bo hue mo lan and asked for an extra bowl to share and I ordered a coke (On which I paid, again as a yelp elite, I take pride in my reviews and never for a bribe). Now the broth was okay, lots of lemon grass but the broth taste a bit of the powder kind of flavor and not actually bone broth. You gotta add some fish sauce and lemon / limes to get out the flavor, lots of meats, I feel like you're getting your $15 bucks worth of good cut of meats, and it does not taste old at all. Decent noodles serving and lots of veggies. Overall, it's a okay bowl, you get your money worth of meats, just little piece of the pig's foot which on my bowl felt like it should be cook down a bit more since it wasn't that tender. Now the beef tendons was super soft and chewy, the liver blood was a nice cut, and it was just enough to share too. If you are just craving bun bo hue meats, this is the place to go and if you don't mind the flavor of the broth, come here. My mom and I give this bowl of bun bo hue a 6.7/10. Side note: There chili or satay isn't spicy, so if you have your own from home bring it or take order to go. (Which they had a lot of to go orders when we got there) Would we come back? Eh, if my mom or I aren't planning to make bun bo hue at home or if out and about in this area. I do like the decor and the theme of the place, my mom likes that there are cartoons about the restaurant bun bo hue.

    I came here before going to karaoke and I was so happy I did. I loved the scene inside look like a movie set. I imagine a good amount of creativity was put into this place. As well as the service being fast and reliable. The food itself is worth the price. I was happy with my meal and got to make a good connection over it.

    Amazing service- all the recommended dishes were delicious. Come here for the snails, the scallops, chicken cartilage, hot pot, etc You can't go wrong and it's one of the places that are open later as well

    We stop by here and trued based on the reviews. And also, because we want it to eat someplace that we have not tried yet for snails. we normally try a couple other places when we are in the LA area and on vacation. When we arrived inside, had a lot tables at the list packed already. It looked like a really great place to die. The staff on the floor were very nice and helpful. Help us get seated with the stroller. With our baby and everything they had nice lively music playing in the background. Looked like kind of like a young younger crowd mixed in with some families. They help us with the orders andy twin, that came out looked so good.And we couldn't wait to taste them all. I love the snails tasted very fresh clean. Didn't have you know any bad foul smells or anything like that? And all was cooked perfection, especially in the ones the stir fry, with the ong choy. It definitely hit the spot and we would definitely recommend for everyone who loves snails, razor clams, and mussels to come. To top it all off, the service was so great. they purposely held the music down at a lower volume. As we were there at a later time which they said normally at about 10 o'clock, they have a live djj. And they really turn up the music, they have this every weeknight late night and all weekends, they'll play up the music. They saw that because we have our baby with us, that they purposely would hold off on raisingbthe volune, until we finished up. So that was really soo nice of the attentiveness of the staff.We appreciated.

    Quite great, better then we expected. We ordered couple seafoods grilled dishes, shaken beef w/ fried & rice. Bun bo hue in hot stone, banh mi o pls & sake. Parking was easy since it is in a big complex plaza. Great and friendly service. Foods are tasty and very yummy. The only thing that wasn't good was the shaken beef, it was abit under cooked and very chewy (old meat?), but the sauce is very tasty and delish. The place is decor with street food signs like and hand paired of Vietnamese restaurant names. With ceiling-to-floor window that over looked the parking lot. Quite lifely vibe. Overall it is a great place for both street foods and main dishes with great and caring services. They also honored Yelps review and they will give you 10% off of your total bill and they also accept zelle and Venmo for payment too.

    Peppered escargots

    I owe this review for a while now. They opened a new location since their old location burned down. I have to say they really upgraded the menu. Their snail and clam and seashell dishes are so good. The service may be slow on busy nights but trust me those servers never skip you they are more than happy to compensate. My favorite is Thai Style clams and Pepper escargot. They also have DJs on Fridays and Saturdays for those who love good music as they drink their night away. I highly recommend this place! Check it out!

    It's a recommend place. Good foods and the services are great. Good choice for friends and family.

    I went yesterday to get Bun Bo Hue. My friend introduce here has very good Bun Bo. Absolutely stunning bowl of bun bo, both visually and in flavor. I like the idea of edible gold flakes

Crab with curry is a must order! You definitely get Umami and a bit kick from the curry sauce, we dipped the last drop of the sauce by the France Bugette; Beef was very tender; stir fry Vegetable was hard to chew, that was a little bit disappointing; Fried rice was everyone's favorite; the desert was unique but comfort you at the end, because it was green beans with tapioca, and seaweed inside. General speaking all the dishes were great! The servers were very friendly, they cared all 8 of us. They did sharing dishes; changing new plates; adding hot water, bringing more napkins.

The dim sum is HUGEEE, especially the siu mai. The size really makes it so much juicier and satisfying to bite through, and it's packed with so much pork and shrimp. The siu mai is definitely my favorite, but other go-tos for the table are the har gow, sticky rice, ham sui gok, bbq pork rice rolls, and chicken feet. I also tried a new dish this most recent time, the tofu skin wrapped dumpling, and it was really good, I'll have to add this one to my regular order! It's definitely already a super popular spot, especially for large parties, so I'd recommend going early or getting takeout!

She went in looking for sushi-grade salmon, and she couldn't be happier with the quality. The salmon was incredibly fresh, healthy-looking, and full of flavor. She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood

Super flavorful without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated * I have to talk about the beignets... because WOW! They were better than Disneyland's (lol).

We had a group of 12 people and we booked their special events room and it was SUCH a fun experience. It had karaoke, TVs, a pool table, and a super cute backdrop! It was perfect for a group hangout or celebration. What made the night even more special was celebrating my birthday there! The team surprised me with a dessert (ice cream with fried bananas!) which was such a sweet and memorable touch. The vibe and ambiance overall was amazing! I'd 100% recommend this place for a group dinner or romantic date night to have your boyfriend peel your shrimps for you LOL. Service was outstanding, especially considering how busy it was. Huge shoutout to Christian, Nathan, Nathan, and Christine for taking such great care of our big group. They were all so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Yes, the wait was a bit longer since it was a busy night, but honestly the quality of the food and service made it completely worth it.
