It comes with a little bowl of broth for dipping or sipping and some pickled carrots and radish. The two men working were very sweet and the food came out quickly.

The staff were friendly, and they gave me a buzzer for my order! The order was done within 10 mins! 5. A parking structure, meter parking, and neighborhood parking are available! For the weekends and nights, you get two hours of free parking in the structures! Note: This spot does not have their own restrooms, but there are customers restrooms nearby in the food hall!

Hue Kitchen got a glow up and I'm here for your girl…read more The menu covers all the Hue classics. Here, you can customize your bún bò huế with whatever your heart desires. They even offer tongue which I've never ever seen on a menu before except at my mama's house. I ordered just a regular bowl of bún bò huế. They give you so much meat, it's insane. Moreover, they include broth bones where there are still tiny morsels of meat still attached. As of it wasn't already giving my mama's house, you can also find nước mắm on the tables where you can concoct a whole dipping situation. Ten. What really sold me was #23 - tôm chua đu đủ Đặc biệt. It's so simple - fermented shrimp, pork belly, herbs, and some rice. This is my favorite comfort dish. The combination of papaya/shrimp, pork belly, herbs along with a bite of rice is the most perfect bite. Again, I've never ever seen this dish offered at a restaurant so I was absolutely beside myself. Not only do they serve this dish here, you can buy a jar of the tôm chua to go. Okay, bookmark this place and come tomorrow.

I was craving banh canh early morning on a Saturday, and this was one of the only places open. You…read moreknow a restaurant is going to be fire when they only specialize in a handful of items. We got the bun bo hue and the banh canh with thick soup. Both dishes came out really fast in massive bowls. I was a little skeptical at first because the broth in the BBH looked pale, but was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was. The banh canh was flavorful as well. Both dishes had a decent amount of meat. I inhaled every last drop of the soup. I will definitely be back!

Came here during the happy hour/early bird discount. It's definitely worth a try especially with…read morethe nice 30% discount. Negatives: -Value, normal prices are a little steep. Though they do advertise that they use American waygu. There isn't a noticeable difference with the brisket, but with the beef rib and other cuts it's definitely softer and more buttery. With the happy hour discount I won't count this against them. Positives: -taste, I came here with my godparents and they liked it. That's saying a lot because older Vietnamese people know what they like and they're unapologetic about their opinions. To me the flavor of the broth was decent. What made it stand out was the tenderness of the beef. -service, service was quick and everyone was very polite and kind to us. Overall 5/5 The ambiance is quiet and calm. We will definitely come back again, especially during happy hour to try some other dishes.

The sticky rice was warm and soft and the salty coconut cream on top of the durian custard complimented it so well to balance out the sweetness! They do a buy 3 get one free deal and it's absolutely worth it to stock up! I love how it comes in separate containers so you can buy in bulk and save for later. It was about $5.50 for one and the portions were well worth the price. They do their business out of their house but have signs pointing to where to pick up which was nice. Tip: You have to order in advance online and they quickly text you your order submission after and what time to come pick it up. Super quick and easy. Loved the fast communication.

Order the Breakfast Banh Mi, it's the best breakfast sandwhich in the airport. The French roll they use is so fresh, soft and crispy and the pork is so delicious you will want to eat this everyday, but you can't. you can only eat it when you fly out of SNA. :( I wish there was one of these by my house. Anyhow they have a cold jasmine tee with lychee.. also very good, I still have to try the rib eye banh mi or shrimp banh mi, but the pork banh mi is so delicious I don't want to take a chance. I believe they also have a lychee beer that is so refreshing. The best thing is that when you get back to SNA, you can eat here again for lunch or dinner but they open at 7am and close at 7pm so if you are lucky don't miss out on this place. I have admirals club access that offers light breakfast for free, but I can't get this sandwich off my mind. I wish I was a cow with 4 stomachs so that I can eat 1 of each sandwich. but I'm not a cow.

I ordered Mi Nam Vang (Egg Noodle Soup) for delivery yesterday and was very happy with it. I especially loved that the egg noodles didn't clump together in the container and were easy to separate. They were generous with the toppings, which is always a plus. I also requested to swap out the shrimp for other ingredients, and they actually accommodated it, which I really appreciated. Overall, the bowl was well balanced, comforting, and flavorful without being overwhelming. Definitely a solid option when you're craving a good noodle soup.

Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe they've just lost their taste buds. What really bothered me was the service. Why hand customers a menu if you're not even going to give them time to look at it? I had barely sat down before a waiter rushed over asking what I wanted. I told him I had just sat down and hadn't even opened the menu yet. He rolled his eyes and walked away. I kid you not....about 30 seconds later, another waiter came rushing over asking the same question. I felt rushed and annoyed at the same time. What's going on here? To be fair, I grew up eating here and have returned about three times as an adult. Unfortunately, each visit has been worse than the last. The restaurant seems to have no motivation to improve. The place feels dirty, the food is mediocre, and the customer service is pretty terrible.

I had the house special banh mi. It was perfect! And they didn't forget the maggi sauce. That critical. The French bread baguette was lovely. So lovely.

Minus one star for the bare and not so clean tables. It wasn't dirty or gross, but they could spend a little time cleaning up and maybe an update on furniture wouldn't hurt. I'd still go back. The food was absolutely worth overlooking the ambiance.
