    Pork, shrimp, pineapple strips, and vegetable greens for self-wrap Spring Rolls. Ribeye steak strips can be an add-on option.

    This Vietnamese restaurant is a unique, hidden gem because they offer dishes full of ingredients/protein to self-wrap your own spring rolls! It's similar to other shops where they offer baked/fried catfish and you wrap with rice paper. Unlike those fish places, Shai offers pork, shrimp, and even ribeye steak perfectly seared to add to your spring rolls. Just be sure to ask about the self-wrap option since it's not officially part of the menu. The owner's wife who served us says everything is fresh to order which takes time to prepare . I believe it since the taste quality was worth the wait. For now, I don't see any other places doing this and so I'll definitely return if I'm craving wrapping my burrito-size, ribeye steak, spring rolls. So good!

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

It also came with their dipping sauce, red rice and a fried egg. They also give you a side of broth. I was not a fan of their rice. Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.

    Brodard Chateau is one of my parents' favorite restaurants, and for good reason. The vibe is smart…read morecasual and the service is always very good. Staff is professional and friendly. Food here is consistently great here, too. They are known for their pork spring rolls (nem nuong), so that is a must order. We get them every visit! The summer spring rolls are great, as well. One of my favorite dishes here is the Brodard Chateau Vermicelli (bun dac biet) as the portion is great, and I love how there's all the meats on it. This place is a favorite for a reason!

    Usually we would have to wait for a table but this time we were able to be seated right away…read more Must order is their Nam Neung Spring rolls. The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good. There is also a dessert display in the front where you check in which we haven't tried yet.

    This place was amazing !!!…read more Listen to me y'all. You could smell this food from across the street on the corner. Now the parking is.. limited at best. When you see a parking spot open, you gotta jump in it fast like double Dutch with the jump rope. There is not a lot of seating so I would recommend to take your food to go. The ladies at the front were extremely nice in taking care of me! I needed 100 garlic chicken wings for my daughter's sixth birthday party and boy did they come in clutch. I also ordered a plate of the garlic noodles, and that almost went as fast as the chicken. I WILL be stopping by here at least once a month. If you're in the mood for some Vietnamese chicken wings, please come through and check this spot out!!!

    Visited today for the chicken wing box they have five different flavors. It's very good definitely…read morea must try if you're a fan of Vietnamese style fried chicken with the rice powder or a fan of chicken wings give it a shot. If you're in little Saigon, you won't be disappointed I was greeted by a friendly staff member who explained to me all the latest specials and the most popular flavors I like it when the staff is connected to the menu and what they do. Restaurant has sit down dining room not a lot of tables but enough for the space that they have place is clean with music in the dining room great little spot.

    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.

    The best pho in OC hands down…read more Came in Sunday afternoon for lunch, lots of parking but busy! Be prepared for parking and maybe to wait. Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. 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.
