Sao Bien - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

SERVICE: 5/5 Service is great and friendly. FOOD: 5/5 I got the crawfish in medium spicy. It is the BEST seasoned crawfish I have ever ate honestly! It's so good and they put really good seasoning and spices on it. You can really smell the seasoning and it is definitely worth the price. My hands smell good thanks to the crawfish lol. Definitely will be coming here more often for my crawfish needs read more

They made exactly the taste that we asked for, foods were good, so the services were excellent. Will be back soon.

Love the place. My wife has a high standard of seafood and she loves the place. They are trying their best to provide the best service during reopening. I would recommend anyone who visits LA to try them. read more

Their pho ngheu is ready special. Last time I was there I tried their drink that I forgot the name but it was really good. Their snails with sauce is a must try read more

Sao Bien - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I was driving from Arizona to Cali, the drive was long. We were very hungry and this place was the only place still open when we got there. They were polite and seated us and everything came out fast, so we were happy. The little problem I had was that they only accept cash. No card, that is what they told us. That is why I'm giving them 3 stars. We had to go to another restaurant where they had a ATM machine and take money out. read more

Highly recommend this place. Food is always fresh, flavorful, and at a reasonable price. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

Really love the service and quality of food here! Banh canh tom cua here is one of the best in town at a good price (quality comparable to Que Anh Que Em, but better value) Lobster - pretty good, but drastically overpriced Bun bo hue- very good! Great use of lemongrass and the slight tang was a good kick. Soft noodles as well. Strawberry lemonade was a very nice flush from all the seafood as well. read more

We tried the Bun Bo Hue, which was recommended by the owner, and the Braised Catfish in Claypot. The Bun Bo Hue was lacking flavor. I was expecting more from the broth. The Catfish was too sweet for my taste and the portion was so small (only a few pieces of fish with nothing else). The prices were on the high side. They also charged us extra for steam rice and water. They did not provide tap water so we had to buy the bottled water. read more

The reviews on here are all false! Came here with a group of friends and our kids and were very disappointed! First off, other reviews never mentioned that they charge $1.25 for a small cup of tap water with lime! Second, the food was mediocre. My friend got the squid salad and he had food poisoning all day long. I had the mango and shrimp salad that tasted spoiled and the waitress kept insisting that it was just the fish sauce. Bo luc lac was nothing special, just expensive! The kids' chicken and fries were ok, but again, expensive! We also tried the filet mignon garlic noodles and they used spaghetti noodles rather than asian egg noodles. Steer clear of this place as there are plenty of other places to try around here. read more

I always go here for some snails with my mom. And I enjoy it here. Today I order steamed squid for Togo, and is this worth 10$ ? read more

Sao Bien - The ginger slice is even bigger than the ring :( - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

This is a unique restaurant that offers excellent menus from daily traditional Vietnamese to dishes of specialty, like garlic spicy crawfish, hot pots and filet mignon steak, and diced beef with salad... I always like seafood clams noodle soup. It's so tasty. Another dish that deserves a 5 star is fried sea bass with house salad and steamed rice. Don't forget the special fish sauce for your fish to dip in. It is so succulent that you will order again! read more

I like rice noodles in this restaurant! This was the first time I came into this restaurant, I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in Wesminter before but I didn't like any one of these. But Sao Bien is an exception. We ordered a lot of food and all of them were very delicious, they gave us free drinks and desserts. Strongly recommend this:)) Thanks for your serving ! read more

Wife was craving some crawfish so we gave this place a try. 3 lbs of cf and 1 lb of shrimp later, here's the verdict. The sauce was really good. Lots of garlic and not too much butter. Just the way we like it. Had the blood clams and steamed clams as well. Decent size and fresh. Would come back for sure. read more

Yummmm This place caught me by surprise! I thought they only have seafood like : crawfish, shrimp and other escargot items; but they also have a good variety of Vietnamese dishes and hot pot. I highly recommend their bun bo hue and banh canh tom cua! The flavor is so enticing, no MSG in the broth. I would definitely come back and try their other items. AND PS: There's free dessert at the end of your meal! read more

First time ordered togo live crawfish here, the taste was great. Fast service and juicy. My only concern is garlics, I want them more soften, but overall, I would recommend this place. 1 pound live crawfish, I got 1 corn and 3 sausages for the price of $17 after tax. I will be back read more

Was there with my cousins. The place is clean, very nice service. But the foods was whatever, not bad but not as good either, it's more on sweet side. And we order the seafoods, the foods wasn't fresh. The price is pretty on the high side. Tell me crazy, but now a day with a the robbed happened around Orange Country I won't support any business with $$ Only, since it's gonna raise the chance either customer get robbed or store get robbed. And I don't like the part that the store didn't close till later but when the check came out, the owner keep stay around our table, won't let us have a second to calculate the bill, give your customers some time - they will pay, don't worry :)) For all that - I don't think I will be back even thou the store close late. read more

We had their Beef Pho today! It was excellent, good portions, fresh basil, lines, jalapeños and sprouts. We look forward to going their when Covid restrictions are over. Good place, definitely recommend it. read more

The foods are tasting delicious. We came here twice both at night, and the quality of the food is still good even at late night. I recommend the crawfish since they have great sauce, and you can mix that source with either rice or a baguette. Another on point dish is called "oc huong", and you guys definitely should try that. The customer service here is much better than most of the Vietnamese restaurants that I've been experienced. The staffs are very friendly and caring to customers. Overall, it's a good place for night snacks or a place to hang on with friends or family during weekend. read more

I love their crawfish here!!! My hubby and I go here for seafood and their cf flavor is one of my fav!!!

My Wife and I had a Great time at this Restaurant. Paul ( guessing he is the owner or one of them) is an Incredible guy. He made our experience unforgettable!. Thank you Paul! The place is just GREAT! The Food is out of this WORLD! DELICIOUS!!! The Drinks are INCREDIBLY GOOD! Dessert? OMG!!! WE LOVE THEM. My wife and I never had an experience like this one PAUL. Thank you for making us feel comfortable and for treating us the way you did. We love this place, we will be back many times, with lots of friends. This restaurant and your Team made us fall in LOVE with Vietnamese food and your culture! Thank you for that. Thank you, Alex U. read more

Delicious, good service, but the reason I give 2 stars is because, I ordered 2 bowls, bun rieu and bun mam, I was disappointed when the food in the bowl was too poor. Too much broth inside, none of them felt full when charging for $25, not worth it, this is the second time I came here but my husband did not want to come back anymore. read more

Came here with my boyfriend late at night after an exhausted day at work! The owner recommended canh ga chien nuoc mam, crawfish, bun bo and banh canh for us. They were all so good!!!! I m drooling just thinking about it!!! The crawfish has a Vietnamese twist in it, very flavorful and different than crawfish place w just regular Cajun spices or full of butter! Crawfish is a must try item here It's so good!!! Canh ga chien nuoc mam was new to my bf and he was licking his fingers!!! Mnnnn Banh canh and bun bo is also very good! We both like them so much! The bowls was small thus the price s a bit high giving it s in OC and other restaurants around are super cheap, but who care!? It's late as night, I wouldnt want to eat too much of so so food but just enough of deliciousness anyway :) read more

Foods are alright. Ate at this place while hanging out late with a few friends in Orange County. We were going to eat at Luc Dinh Ky instead but since the restaurant was so crowded and we was put on the waiting list. We went across the street and tried out this place instead. I ordered canh bun and it was ok. Never have canh bun before and it tasted kinda like bun rieu except it have water spanish in it. The place is very organized and clean. The people who worked there are very nice and friendly. They gave us complimentary dessert after the meal which was delicious and great. read more

GO FOR THE BUN BO HUE!!! ( and crawfish) crazy right? I did not expect this place to have the best bbh in oc and I'm not joking. Nhu bien does not touch this place with their bbh. Their crawfish is also really flavorful and always fresh. Their Bo luc lac is also amazingggg. read more

My niece found this restaurant on yelp and it was highly rated. The quality of food exceeded our expectations! It was as close to real Vietnamese home cooking as any restaurant could be. The food and the service were excellent, and we will return to this wonderful family- owned restaurant many times in the future. read more

Delicious and high quality seafood vietnamese dishes. The owners are awesome. Make sure you ask them for recommendations on the best dishes for the day because it changes depending on what's available at the market. You have to try the Pho Ngheu (clam) as well. It's the only place in OC that has this unique twist to Pho! read more

Great customer service and great food. Their bún mm is the best in this area in my opinion. I love their free dessert, a sweet wrap up of a good meal. It's great to see the owner and staffs keep an eye on every table to make sure their customers are having a good dining experience. The space is small so it's great for a group under 10. All the stars are very well deserved read more

Can't believe the owner of this place doing such a thing... Saw this place open up and my family wanna try it out so we went in. When we came in the place was mostly empty. Before we sat down my old man pull out his phone and accidently dropped a $20 bill. I saw with my own eyes that the owner bend down and picked it up. He turned around and left without asking us if it was our money. Later on my father told me that he realized that he had lost a 20 dollar from his pocket. I told him I saw the owner picked it up, my father said if he didn't wanna give it to us then we just don't come back. The owner never gave it back to us!! After all, the food was ok nothing special! Can't believe that he rather lose customer, over a $20 bill. read more

Husband was craving bun bo hue but his to go places were either closed or too busy so we decided to try sao bien. So far so good, he said he liked his bun bo I got 2 pounds of crawfish. (Disclaimer, I'm not crazy about crawfish nor seafood, after a few bites I am done) I ordered two pounds thinking he will help me but ... hmm no. Luckily the flavor is very good and the crawfish was fresh so I ate the 2 pounds lol. Flavoring was on point, not too greasy and a lot of garlic *yum Customer service was good, surprising for a bolsa restaurant. The owners seem hands on and attentive. CASH ONLY We will be back to try more items. read more
