Food is always solid and very filling…read more Came around 4:30pm and it was great, arrived before the hectic dinner rush and crazy parking. Got the dry seafood noodles, beef stew noodles and deep fried dumplings. The dumplings were alright, it's basically deep fried wonton with pork and shrimp. My usual dry seafood noodles was scrumptious and side soup was packed with lots of seafood. I typically add a load of red vinegar to give a good tang. The beef stew was also really good and meat was tender except the tendon, there's 3 level of spicy however level 1 mild is still very spicy especially for people who don't usually eat spicy.

Mai Phat still exceeded them! It has since become our go-to lunch spot, as well as a local favorite for my wife's family. They specialize in egg noodles - served either dry (with broth and main protein on the side) or wet like a conventional soup bowl. My personal go-to is the dry mì sủi cảo - egg noodles with sliced / ground pork, huge wonton dumplings, a shrimp cracker, and broth on the side. The wontons come in a super rich and delicious sauce that I actually got scolded for pouring over my noodles lol. The light and clear broth is very refreshing and well-seasoned. Excellent mix of perfectly balanced flavors from every component. Add chili crisp for extra oomph. My wife loves the mì gà quay - fried chicken leg & thigh with the signature egg noodles. This is honestly one of the most perfectly seasoned and cooked fried chicken I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of fried chicken. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive Highly recommend Mai Phat for hearty, expertly crafted, and relatively guilt free Vietnamese comfort food

First time here and I enjoyed it. I'm a huge pho ga and goi…read morega fan so when my friend wanted to try this place since we are in OC, sure, let's. Upon sitting down with the menu, they provide a small dish with sliced wedges of orange. We had to ask if that was palette cleanser and it was. Never seen such but sure. My friend did the dry mien with fried chicken. This dish had l kinds of flavors. It was good to me. The bowl of broth on the side is needed as the sauces are pretty thick and rich. I had the pho ga with goi ga. Goi ga was amazing. A side plate of chopped dark meat chicken in a Vietnamese vinaigrette dressing. I enjoyed it. The pho ga was not flavorful to me. I had better. Good service. A nice stream of ppl in/out.

Holy moly, the flavors!…read more I was picking up my daughter from college nearby, and we were craving some cháo on a cold evening. After checking out the Yelp reviews, we decided to give Canton Restaurant (Chao Ca Cho Cu) a try. Wow, the reviews were spot on. We ordered the Fish Porridge (Cháo Cá) and the Dill Turmeric Fish, and both dishes were absolutely incredible. The fish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The combination of dill, turmeric, and all the accompanying herbs created layers of flavor. The cháo was comforting, rich, and exactly what we needed on a chilly night. This meal hit all the right spots, comforting, authentic, and packed with flavor. I can't wait to come back. If you're in the area, this place is a must try!

DELICIOUS! The best congee I have ever had…read more We called in a pickup order and it was ready super fast. We got a pork/preserved egg congee with a Chinese donut and my husband got a chow fun. Both were delicious but the congee was the standout star. Something so simple had so much flavor. I highly recommend it. Place is cash only. Very small with not a lot of seating but the plaza has a lot of parking.

We ordered three entrees with noodles and they were all so flavorful, not super salty where your mouth gets dried, and a lot of food! I would definitely come back!

We waited probably around 15 minutes and there were about two or three other parties before us. Be sure to sign in on the notepad. There are a few plastic stools in the front. While you're waiting, they will take your order to add it to the queue for the kitchen. When our turn was up, we were seated at small table for two. I noticed another gentleman by himself at a table for four people. Hmmmm. Anyhow, there were about five tables total inside or maybe six. It was very warm inside since there is no AC. This is a type of life where you eat and leave as quickly because it's a no-frills no ambience type of place. That's fine with me except it was pretty hot. They charge you a dollar for a little tiny paper cup of water. I ordered the number one since this is their specialty or what they're known for. My mom had the bun thit nuong cha gio. My noodle soup had a good amount of crab pieces and shrimp. It seemed like there was not a lot of noodles though. I thought the broth was a little bland. I guess I'm just not a big fan of this type of soup. If there is a next time, I'll try the bun rieu. My mother was not that crazy about her dish. She said she didn't really like the egg rolls that much. For the price, the wait and the taste of the food, I likely will not be returning when there are so many other places in the area. I try to support various mom and pop restaurants, but for the previous stated reasons, I don't think we'll be back.

So cool that I just discovered Westminster has a location too! What's even better is that they have outdoor seating which means dogs are allowed! That's a HUGE plus for me. My go to is always the soup thick egg noodle and thin vermicelli noodle with assorted meat and shrimp. I also like to order the egg and rice cake for the table. Each dish is about $14. Portions seem a bit smaller than the San Gabriel and Rosemead location but it gets the job done and I am pretty full after the meal. They have so many other options on the menu like chow fun, hainan chicken, and a ton of other noodle soup dishes. The last two times I came here was on a weekday during lunch so there was plenty of parking. However, I'm sure it gets packed on the weekend since it is located right next to the Asian Garden Mall. All tax is included in the price so there's no additional sales tax line item. Also! They charge 50 cents for water.. other locations do not. I was surprised but oh well.

The restaurant was not busy at all, nice and quiet, great service of course since it wasn't busy. I ordered grandma's dry egg noodles and they have one of the best dry noodles I've ever had since moving to OC. They put the perfect amount of sauce, some places don't have enough sauce for the noodles. Also had plenty of protein. I added an order of wonton's which is an additional charge but well worth it. The broth on the side is so refreshing! What I love most is that this restaurant is still very affordable, $10.99 for a bowl of dry noodles is amazing. Definitely a returning customer!

I picked the Sò Lông Nướng Mỡ Hành & it was really good. But then I felt something hard when I was chewing & I think I chipped part of my tooth - I'm going to go home & have my boyfriend check it for me & I'll attach the photo of my chipped tooth. Anyway, I have a crown cap so I wasn't super alarmed, but still a bit shook. I still finished my food but I politely tried to let one of the cashiers know. I showed him & everything & he was apologetic & asked what they could do to fix the situation. So I asked for a refund. And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer. Btw they give you plastic utensils here even for dining in which is a con.

This review is for the really rude owner who is an Asian man that came out from around the corner and scared me and my children by giving us attitude about the box I tried to use for my left overs . (He was clearly watching us thru the cameras which is very creepy). He has the items so cluttered by the drink machine that it accidentally tipped over and all his JUNK fell over, WHICH I PICKED UP. And rather than apologize for the inconvenience and offer a bag, he has the audacity to give me attitude and rude looks to me and my children and yells "why are you using that?! Use a bag! That box is only for corn dogs!" Like ok sir I didn't know you have fckn bags you didn't have them out in an appropriate place??? NOT TO MENTION: we came here for the corn dogs (which all the boxes are for but we couldn't use???) and they didn't even have any. NONE. No corn dogs at all.... We had to settle for their overpriced pastas . Yeah, if it wasn't for him being super rude, this review would have been a 4 or 5 stars simply because the girls were so nice & pasta was good . Other than that, if you don't want to be yelled at by the owner for an inconvenience that HE caused by poor organization, DONT come here ‍ besides, we saw him just sitting in the back without hair cover while all the women worked smh typical ! Hope those girls find better and more respectable employment

Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo. It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.
