Mai Phat Noodle House is one of those places that does simple food really well. I ordered the dry…read morewonton noodle with BBQ pork and a side of steamed wontons. The noodles had a great chewy texture, and the star of the dish was definitely the sauce. It had that classic Vietnamese-Cantonese flavor, perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, coating every bite of noodles without being too heavy. The BBQ pork was quite dry, the wontons were generously filled, and the soup on the side was clean and comforting. The steamed wontons with soy sauce were also delicious and packed with flavor. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and everything tasted fresh. I'd happily order this again.

An unassuming spot with incredible flavors!…read more The seafood fried noodle dish had flat chewy noodles and a mild sauce that complemented the veggies and seafood well. The house special beef noodles seemed to have a mala flavor and was hearty and refreshing. The oxtail soup has a comforting and hearty flavor. Service was as expected for a local favorite. They were attentive to refilling our water and helped us decide on what to choose when one of the items we selected was out for the day. Glad to have stopped by!

We're visiting from San Francisco and happened to find this restaurant by chance -- what a great…read moresurprise! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. We especially loved the fish congee -- the fish was super fresh, and you definitely have to get the Chinese fried dough (youtiao) to go with it! Their dill turmeric sizzling fish was also AMAZING and definitely a must-try. So glad we found this place. We'll definitely come back whenever we're in the area!

Whenever I'm in the LA area, this is the only place I trust for my all-time favorite Vietnamese…read moredish: Chả Cá Thăng Long. It's a sizzling platter of pan-fried fish cooked with fragrant dill and scallions, served tableside with fresh vegetables, rice paper, and herbs so you can build your own wraps. I've ordered it here at least three times, and it's been consistently outstanding every single visit. The fish is perfectly seasoned, and the aroma from the dill and scallions alone is enough to make your mouth water. I also highly recommend their selection of congee. Each version is made to order with your choice of meats, and the porridge has that silky-smooth, creamy consistency that makes it the ultimate comfort food. Rich, hearty, and incredibly satisfying, it's one of those dishes that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.

Stopped by to get lunch with my dad, and this place has become his go-to spot for noodles!…read more There were a good number of seats inside, and the restaurant was decorated with lots of traditional touches. When we arrived, we were seated right away since it wasn't very busy. The waitress was really nice and answered any questions we had about the menu. Thank you! Here's what we ordered: Mi Sui Cao Kho (5/5): I really liked how they served the wontons on the side so they didn't make my noodles all soggy. Mi Vit Quay (4.5/5): I think my dad really liked this one. I forgot to ask for his opinion, but he definitely devoured everything in that bowl LOL. Chinese Donut (5/5): Fried fresh, so it was perfectly crispy and honestly so addicting to eat! Steamed Pork Kidneys (3/5): Not bad, but I felt like it was missing something to complete the flavor. Overall, a really good experience! P.S. They also sell banh bao on the side!

Hue Ky Mi Gia - Food and Service Appear to Be Declining…read more My wife and I decided to try Hue Ky Mi Gia. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and the parking lot is shared with several other businesses, so finding a parking space can be difficult. Location and Parking -- 2/5 The location is convenient, but parking can be challenging because many businesses share the same parking lot. Atmosphere and Comfort -- 2/5 The air-conditioning was weak, and the front door remained open, so the restaurant felt warmer than expected. Service -- 3/5 The service was only okay. The waiters were not especially friendly or welcoming. Food -- 2/5 I ordered the mì vịt tiềm. As everyone can see from my picture, my bowl came with only one small piece of bok choy. In comparison, pictures posted by other customers show the same dish served with several pieces of fresh vegetables. The noodles were okay but much too oily. The broth served on the side was not hot enough, and the duck was dry and tough instead of tender. The pickled vegetables were also too sour. Restaurants can change over time. Based on the difference between my meal and the meals shown in other customers' pictures, the portions and food quality appear to be inconsistent and declining. Cleanliness -- 2/5 The dining area was acceptable, but the restroom needed more attention and cleaning. Overall -- 2/5 Stars Overall, our experience was below average. Hue Ky Mi Gia may be worth trying once if you want something different, but the food, service, comfort, and cleanliness all need improvement.

We waited about 30-40 minutes with a few parties ahead of us. They'll take your order while you wait. The restaurant itself is very tiny, no-frills, and more of an eat-and-go kind of spot. We ordered the bánh canh tôm cua, which they're known for. It came with a good amount of crab, shrimp, and meat, and the noodles had great texture, but I found the broth a little lacking in flavor. Would recommend adding in lime and fish sauce provided at each table. My partner got the bún thịt nướng chả giò but thought they skimped on the egg rolls and grilled pork (they used the same meat from the bún chả, which I didn't like). For the wait and food, I probably wouldn't come back since there are so many other great Vietnamese options in the area.

I'm a lover of pork kidney so when Kim Ky Noodle House popped up on my radar, I immediately…read morebookmarked this noodle joint. I frequent SoCal quite often and this spot just slipped between the cracks of my long list of food adventures I wanted to sample. With this most recent visit, I couldn't pass up on the opportunity. Known for their traditional rice noodle soups and the pork kidney dish, Kim Ky Noodle House offers deliciously, customizable, comforting bowls of happiness. There are 7 different noodles to pick from which far exceeds the typical restaurant offerings. Breakfast- *Hủ Tiếu Triều Châu Thập Cẩm- combination dry [thick] egg noodles *Hủ Tiếu Triều Châu Thập Cẩm- combination dry egg noodles & rice noodles *Cật Heo Luộc- Assorted Pork Kidney (Boil) *Dâu Cha Quẫy -Fried Chinese Doughnuts x2 *Vietnamese Egg Soda *Iced Tea Food was delivered in a timely manner. The portions are generous and everything was fresh. The noodles were soft, chewy, and everything you'd expect for them to be- nothing mushy and overcooked here! The broth was flavorful and seasoning was spot on. The boiled pork kidney was a little bland for my tastebuds but cleaned well- which is an absolute must when eating these kinds of innards. 5/5 stars!! Here you will find good food and A1 hospitable service. The staff is so very kind which was such and unexpected bonus!! I'd come back in a heartbeat. This mom and pop shop will leave you wanting more- GUARANTEED!

Grandpa's Kitchen…read more I've been a longtime customer because their Phnom Penh-style hu tieu has always been very good. They were actually one of the first places around to serve this style of noodles, and I've enjoyed it for many years. However, over time, I feel like the quality isn't quite the same as it used to be. Maybe the prices are a little lower now, but the portions also seem noticeably smaller. I recently stopped by in the evening for some snacks. The atmosphere was open, casual, and lively, although both the service and the food seemed a little slow coming out. The balut was way too big for me, so I honestly couldn't really eat it. But the grilled blood cockles were large, fresh, and very juicy, which I really enjoyed. The restaurant itself is small, but it feels airy and comfortable. They also have outdoor seating, which is especially nice in the evening when the weather is cool. Overall, I still have a soft spot for Grandpa's Kitchen because I've been coming here for a long time. I just wish the food quality and portions were more like they used to be.

GRANDPA'S DRY RICE NOODLE & Moon Snail - Garlic Butter. They were alright. For the prices - it was a really good affordable dinner for authentic Vietnamese food. Quality and taste - wasn't bad but wasn't the best I've had either. Ambiance - clean and nice. Service was good too. Location - great location in Little Saigon, and good plaza with plenty of parking. It's alright. I might come back if I want a quick affordable meal in Little Saigon. I'd still recommend checking them out! Their nightlife is pretty cool - later in the evening on weekends - they play loud Vietnamese music and the place gets pretty packed.

SEN is stays true to their authencity, going for quality over quantity, with their two page menu. Didn't realize just how many Vietnamese restaurants were in the area, so stiff competition! And no, SEN is not a KEI Concepts location! After ordering, we were given our waters in plastic to-go cups, which I thought was a little strange. After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!
