    Mi Vit Tiem
    Aurelia T.

    This place deserves more attention and recognition ! Service was so good. The lady was so nice and kind. She checked in on us often enough to make sure things are okay. Flavor is good, clean presentation and portion is just right. I got a Mi Vit Tiem Kho and Mi Xao Don and loved both of them.

    Bun Dau Mam Tom
    Kelly N.

    Saw this on Yelp and the menu looked interesting. Decided to give it a try. The restaurant was decorated simple and clean. The service was great. We ordered the following: Coconut sea snails Thai seafood noodles Bun dau mam Tom Pho with rare beef, tripe and beefball Coconut sea snails were delicious. My mom enjoyed her Thai seafood noodles. My daughter loved her custom pho with rare beef, tripe and beefball. The pho broth was tasty and had depths. I decided to be adventurous and ordered Bun dau mam Tom. I never had this before and wasn't sure how to eat it. It came with fish sauce, shrimp paste sauce and a bowl of sugar. The vermicelli came in cube shape which threw me off. I thought I had to wrap it with lettuce. I asked the owner and he said to mix it in a bowl. This dish included fried tofu, sliced pork, eggrolls, pork sausage, green sticky rice patties and herbs. I mixed in the ingredients in a bowl with fish sauce and it was good. The shrimp paste was too salty and I didn't use the sugar. I would be back to try other items.

    banh canh tom cua
    Lynn L.

    ORDER banh canh tom cua (3/5) the presentation was good. the portions were huge and was well worth the price. the shrimp and pork were perfectly cooked. unfortunately, the broth had no flavor. i also tried the nui and bun dau mam tom. the nui lacked flavor as well. the sauce for the bun dau mam tom was too salty. SERVICE friendly service. AMBIANCE there's a front and back section to the restaurant. the hallway that leads to the back of the restaurant felt a bit cramped.

    Mì sủi cảo
    Chloe J.

    Mì sủi cảo khô ở đây ngon, thơm và đậm đà gia vị. Nước soup cũng ngon nhưng nếu được nóng hơn một tý thì sẽ ngon hơn. My family absolutely loves the dry noodles here. The noodles were cooked to perfection--aromatic and bursting with flavor. The accompanying bowl of broth was delicious, though it would have been even better if it was served hotter. We weren't sure if it was a promotion, but every meal came with a complimentary small dessert. We enjoyed every bite of it The service here is fantastic. This small family-run business truly shines. Both husband and wife were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure their customers are cared for. My family will definitely return to support this gem of a place. If you haven't visited yet, I highly recommend making the effort to check it out!

    Grilled oyster with salted egg yolk
    Jennie P.

    Went here for the first time because I saw they had duck noodle soup and ALL the food is amazing! The grilled oyster with salted egg was fresh and were huge, escargot was also super fresh, and the soup was so hearty and delicious, the duck was perfectly tender as well. They have a ton of Viet street food options that I'll have to be back to try. Staff is super kind and accommodating and even gave us dessert, newer place so def check them out!

    We came here for breakfast and everything on the menu sounded very promising and delicious. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was very subpar. We ordered: - Canh Bún - Mi Vit - Balut in Tamarind - Boiled Balut (not pictured) - Banh Mi Nuong - Mi ga kho (not pictured) The gentleman who took our order was very kind and accommodating, which we appreciated. However, I was disappointed when we were served raw balut. Upon pointing it out, instead of replacing it with a freshly cooked one, the staff reheated the same one, which ultimately looked quite unappetizing. The canh bún looked appealing, but the broth was bland, and the riêu (crab meat) was spongy, lacking the texture and flavor typically found in canh bún. A touch of tomato flavor would have made a big difference. The mì vịt was decent, though the duck was slightly dry. Lastly, the bánh mì nướng fell short of expectations. It was tough, could have been crispier and thinner, and was overly heavy on the mayo. We were offered free soft drinks in exchange for a 4 star review. In the end, I declined the gesture because I could not honestly give them 4 stars for the food or service. Overall, I was not impressed with Ta La Kitchen. Not sure if I would consider going back. They seem fairly new so I hope they consider improving the quality of food.

    This is one of those restaurants where your belly is full and your heart is filled. For someone who's indecisive, it took me a while to decide as they do offer an extensive menu. The portion was generous and the food tastes like homemade which I love. They also offered these yummy jelly dessert after you're done eating. I ordered a coffee togo after and it was strong!! I'm still thinking about the generous size. You can definitely tell the owner cares about their customers and wants to make sure what you're paying is worth the price especially in this economy!!Will keep supporting this type of establishment where hospitality is prioritized.

    Great service and enjoyable food. They have a ton of seafood dishes and their food was very tasty. It's a smaller place, but I highly recommend you try this place. Parking can be a challenge as it is in a busier shopping plaza, but there is always a space somewhere in the lot.

    Had the roasted duck noodle soup with wontons. Soup was amazing really enjoyed the broth and noodles was very good. Staff was fast and very nice. Restaurant was clean. The Bahn mi were ok it was all about yhe noodle soup.

    Cajun fries

    The food is amazing, but I didn't take any pictures of any main dishes. I would recommend the Banh Canh Tom Cua and Banh Canh Phong Tom. If you looking for late night snacks the Cajun fries and fried chicken are really good quality. Highly recommend. The place is small but cozy.

    Hi . What is the maximum capacity at your restaurant?

    Where is it located? We called 10x and no one pick up the calls. We Google map and when we arrived we don't see it ? Did we missed something?

    I can see it from Bolsa Ave. it's in the building closest to Bushard St and Bolsa Ave. next door to POSE Salon. It looks like main entrance is in the back where the parking spaces are. I'll post a photo of the front entrance.

They have a wide selection of dishes that isn't just seafood but I would say it defeats the purpose if you're getting a meat dish at this place. The soft shell crab was super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crab/shrimp fried rice was also pretty solid but I think I prefer Thai crab fried rice. We also got a beef hot pot which was my driest time having viet hot pot. I don't think it's for me, the beef broth was sweet and I don't typically enjoy my savory foods to be sweet. The meat itself was really tender though, maybe if we opted for a seafood hot pot it would've been better. Service was standard, quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean and modern with ample amount of seating. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back here but it was still an enjoyable experience where I got to try new dishes.

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!

I knew about their fried chicken, but I didn't know they had chicken sandwiches too. I got the Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich, 4 wings, and garlic noodles. Tip: If you order through the app, you can skip the wait and get a free garlic noodle. I think it's only for your first order on the app, though, and I'm not sure how long the deal lasts. Wings -- 3/5 The wings were okay, but pretty mediocre. I got one flat and three drumettes, which was a little disappointing. The flavor and crispiness were both kind of lacking, and I ate them fresh too. The seasoning reminded me of that lobster green onion sauce you'd get at a Vietnamese-Chinese restaurant. Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich -- 4/5 The sandwich was definitely better. The chicken had a good crisp to it, but sadly, it was overfried and wasn't cooked evenly. The edges were noticeably darker than the center, and the chicken itself was thinner than I expected. The sauce didn't taste like anything particularly special either--it was giving spicy mayo, if anything. The vegetables and pickles made the sandwich taste similar to another famous chicken sandwich place. I actually liked it overall, but because the chicken wasn't fried evenly, I'd give it a 4/5. Garlic Noodles The garlic noodles were okay. They definitely had a lot of garlic, but I didn't think the cheese on top was necessary. It kind of ruined it for me. I won't rate this one since it was free, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Service wasn't bad. It was super busy when I went, so I had to wait a little longer than the estimated pickup time. There's ample seating inside, although the AC was kind of lacking. Overall, I'd probably come back for the chicken sandwich and give it another try, especially if a friend wanted to go. I wouldn't really recommend the other items I tried, though.
