    I've been going here for years but never knew the English name was Sweet Temptations. I always eat at the Canton restaurant next door then swing over for dessert. So my review today will be about my favorite desserts, the others I've tried and the recommended dessert based on customers in the lobby. My favorite is Che Banh Lot (green pandan noodle jelly) the Jellies have to be soft, fresh of pandan aroma, and the coconut can't be overly sweet. I've had other places where it leaves a gritty after taste or is simply too hard and breaks vs being chewy. Ofcourse the trick to this is ordering with ice on the side, or ice on top only if you're going to eat immediately because once it gets cold, it hardens. However I have not experienced that hardness here. I also add mung bean in my dessert and this needs to be silky in texture when eaten and still have a paste texture. I personally dislike having grit in my mung bean that tasted like dried curd or raw beans that some places may have when it's not cooked long enough, or they use low quality beans that are stale or too dried taking longer to get the texture. So they pass on these two aspects. The second popular dessert is Che Thai (Thai style desserts with all the fruit and jelly mix) this location used more condensed milk to sweeten it. So far from individual ingredient perspective, I would rate it on a higher quality. For example you can buy 3 different kinds of jack fruit cans from the market and a fresh jackfruit. The fresh jackfruit will always taste better, but there is a brand of can jackfruit that will be closest to a fresh one in quality. While some other brands make their canned fruits very stale and mushy. So the can and brand choice they use for this desserts is better in quality than other places. I am also assuming their steep price of $5 per dessert takes this quality into account. Today while I was here, a lady recommended the banana sticky rice and mung bean sticky rice wrap. According to her, they are made fresh with quality sticky rice from scratch. This I have no tried, but considering her detailed description, it is worth mentioning. Finally I ask the owner for the specialty of the savory dishes they had posted. According to the owner, the beef Kho does not have MSG in it and the stew is brewed the night before to ensure all the seasoning, aroma, and flavors seep into the beef when served the next day. I personally have not tried this, but I assume their recipe may be good enough to include it in their menu. Imagine a late night hot bowl of stew with a baguette to satisfy your nightly cravings or simply after some drinking, this could be very warm for your tummy for breakfast. Another important note to make is that the place is clean, has a lot of choices, the owner seems quite nice and willing to assist food photos without any grief.

    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.

    We just placed an order for 40 nem nuong rolls with Kaitlyn for pickup later in the afternoon…read more Giving her a shoutout for the fast and friendly service. Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home. The nem nuong here are always perfectly rolled and the crunch of the fried wonton strip inside makes it feels like party in your mouth! so good! Note: requesting to cut rolls in half costs extra. We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

    I took over responsibility for another facility and needed to feed my staff. Did a quick "food…read moresearch near me" and found Mama Hieu's. I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff. Oh there was a part of the order that was missed but they took care of it right away. Also parking at the plaza is very busy but there's parking in the back so no problems. They even brought it out to me so I wouldn't have to carry it all around the building. A+ service. If you're in the area and want some good wings...don't hesitate to stop by! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

You order from The counter and I waited about 15 minutes for my order. The restaurant had a few tables for dine-in with a cute wall decor and a few write-ups on how the restaurant was started.

    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.
