    This place is known for their signature soup, anchovy, which was very good and not particularly fishing tasting. We had a couple of appetizers which were decent as well. The only thing is that we ordered drinks and they came out towards the end of the meal. The soups came out first and were piping hot. Everything else came out a few minutes later, they had TVs around with various shows and Vietnamese music playing in the background.

    Hidden in a small plaza behind a car wash, walked in and was sat right away. Started off with their cafe sua da(coffee with condensed milk ) and rau ma(pennyworth). The coffee tasted a little off for me, couldn't put my finger on what it was , wasn't for me, and the rau ma came out blended instead of iced, which was surprising. We got their special rice dish and special soup. Their soup was decent, wasn't anything too crazy and their rice was pretty much veggies, roasted pork, veggies, bi( shredded pork) , and an egg. The roasted pork on this dish was cold , only thing hot on this plate was the rice. Overall, this place is okay. Nothing too crazy in my opinion.

    We just returned from the city Soc Trang and had bun nuoc leo there . We were taken to the best place for the iconic noodle for this region of south Vietnam. Craving the authentic in Vietnam we came back to this restaurant. The noodle is equally delicious and authentic. Portions in the USA is bigger . That's the only difference. On the day we were here , the AC was out so we got the full in country experience.:)

    Their specialty is Bun Nuoc Leo Soc Trang. This dish very good , Soup base tasted so flavor. If you prefer to order other different dishes , You might not like it, fair price the service ok , parking is very limited.

    1. Bun Nuoc Leo
    Tiffany B.

    Have never eaten here before, but wanted to try something different plus it rained all day aka wanted something soup, so my mom recommended this place. Ordered two bun nuoc Leo and two che buoi lanh for us! Overall I enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and pungent: full of seasfoodish like smells and flavors. It was sweet and salty. Squeezed a piece of lime and added a little tartness to the broth to break up the saltiness. Came with different veggie fixings, shrimp, I guessed a piece of catfish filet, and pork belly. Far from pho or bun bo hue, so if you're looking for something like that, bun nuoc leo is not it. It's a bit more adventurous in taste and possibly texture for some, but you may find that you like it!!! Got the che for dessert and it definitely did not disappoint. Extremely creamy from the beans and coconut. The merry of flavors in this dessert was simply wonderful with different textures into one cup! One star less because 3 orders of bun nuoc and they forgot to package third one.

    One of the most unique Vietnamese dishes and not many places in the US serves this, so of course I had to pay this place a visit. The broth is very pungent from the fish sauce (not your ordinary fish sauce that you might be thinking of) and can be a hit or miss for some people, but for me it's definitely a hit. Think of bun mam but less strong. It comes with heo quay, fish, and shrimp, very unique. Serving size and prices are great. I got a regular ($12.95) and was super full. I will definitely come back next time I'm in the OC.

    1. Bun Nuoc Leo, a lot of toppings,yummy.

    This is my first time try ,Foods is good and soup very tasty and hot , I got bun nước lèo with a lot of toppings , veggies on the side service was good, will come back for more of others dish, recommend you all come and eat here.

    Banh tam bi (they used bun instead)
    Grace N.

    Again, shame on me for not knowing about this place after living in OC for so long. My out of state friend recommended this place to me for the special bun mam, which is called bun nuoc leo Soc Trang in this province. Apparently, this style is not as stinky as the original bun mam because they use bo hoc, and they filtered out everything to make the stock. So what you get is a very clear and clean broth! We got bun nuoc leo soc trang (their specials), and a banh tam bi. Unfortunately they don't use banh tam bi here anymore but used bun (vermicelli) instead. I love the bun nuoc leo, so flavorful and I love the crispy pork belly! Everything was the perfect combination! I would definitely come back!

    Yummy roast pork
    Cheryl N.

    I have tried to come here 3x, they were never open past 5pm, who can eat dinner that early? Well after reading a few reviews, I thought maybe I'm missing something. I sent my Uber guy aka husband to get for me a Bun nuoc leo, it's their specialty I have never heard of such thing but the picture of roast pig was mouth watering. Warning right now: if you have never had bun mam, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I smelled it right after I opened the container, OMG, I had no idea this was made w Bun Mam, my policy is never eat anything that is fermented. I worked in a big medical center and have seen too many patients w stomach cancer, my own neighbor nearly died, he lost 80lbs. One thing in common, they all ate a lot of fermented stuffs, like kim chee, all the fermented sauce, the thought of little bacteria, cultures that allow the shrimp or whatever to ferment it just turned me off, well everybody has different taste, I don't eat sauerkraut either unless it's thoroughly cooked. The Bun mam has a strong smell luckily they toned it down so I managed to eat 1/3 of the bowl, strangely enough, my husband liked it, I did not tell him what was inside it though! The pork was so yummy, it sure helped masking the strong taste. The che buoi was very good but there's no pomelo inside, I guess the tapioca was made to resemble the pomelo. The coconut was good too. Many restos cheat and put condensed milk instead of coconut, they fool some young kids but they can never fool me. I'll come back to try the bun gia cay, I haven't had this in 30 years, nobody makes this any longer.

    Today was my first time eating at this restaurant. The place is small but very neatly clean. I ordered a small Bún nước lèo and rau má đậu xanh for the drink. They were super delicious. The broth was clear and very tasty. The veggies were well washed and fresh. The service was quick. I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. 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!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl.
