    che ba mau
    Elle T.

    got the che ba mau. the beans were perfectly cooked & flavored the milk rly well. the mung bean paste was almost flan-like in creaminess

    Parking is limited and the line to order can be long sometimes but the sweet dessert is worth the wait. I have been coming here since the 2002 until now still Love their 3 colored dessert, and bánh chuối in coconut milk, chè đậu ván , bắp hầm was delicious too . They're open 7 days a week from 8 am-6:30 pm and they only take cash. Try to get there early because some of the popular desserts sell out fast.

    Our must go to after spending an afternoon in Westminster. We love to get Che from here for the after dinner dinner dessert. Must have : 3 mau dai Xoi Flan If you're a lover of flan you have to try their version. It's so soft, like a custard but light yet creamy. There's a nice amount of the caramel sauce at the bottom of the cup and it's not bitter at all. Ughh my all time fave I love it so much! Docking a star bc of the parking and the transients in the area due to the liquor store. Last time I was here someone threw a rock into the window, startling everyone inside.

    I know about this place since I was in HS, which was back in...decades ago. Parking can be rough since they share the parking lot with 5 other stores. Plenty of sweet desserts choices and the prices are roughly around $4 each. Clean and well organized with friendly staff.

    Variety of Sticky rice
    Betty G.

    Recently in the area so stopped by here to pick up some sticky rice and dessert. There were no customers in the stores other than myself, then 2 people came in right behind me. They had hardly anything behind that glass window. All the trays were empty. Only some pre-packed items as shown in pictures. The chicken sticky was very bland and rather dry. I'm not sure of the relationship between this one and the one on Bolsa but many of the same type of dessert that both places offer don't look nor taste the same. Personally, I prefer the other location. I wonder if they are franchised and owned by totally 2 different owners? The other location always has a super long line on the weekends, regardless what time of the day though.

    I have been going to this Che establishment since I was a child it's been 20+ years no one does the Che ba mau #1 like them. They put so many different beans in it and the flavors are delicious together a bit on the sweeter side though which I prefer and love. The parking plaza can be a bit hectic depending on timing of when you go the weekends here would be madness. My go to orders are the #1 ba mau dau, che bap (corn), che chuoi (banana), and che banh chuoi hap (steamed banana). I also like a few of the xois but they are sold out quick. Definitely recommend stopping by for some desserts it never disappoints!

    Back for more delish Vietnamese desserts. Love those pandan treats: chewy & QQ while not overly sweet. We tried a new item that looks like mochi, it was just ok compared to the pandan treats.

    Cloudy melted ice.
    Autumn D.

    Do better! It is unethical to serve this ice to your customers. Clean your ice machine/water line. This is absolutely gross and warrants a visit from the health department.

    My favorite! Bananas with coconut...I think!
    Elisa H.

    Alright, so I'll admit, this place has the most unique desserts. Since I didn't grow up with these delicacies they have quickly become one of my guilty pleasures and I just love everything about this little bakery! I especially enjoy the banana coconut Vietnamese morsels of goodness. To be honest, I don't know what the true Vietnamese name is, but that's a pretty close description . The soft chewy bananas combined with coconut sauce makes for a tasty not too sweet treat. You gotta check this bakery out for yourself as it is a local gem!

    Bought the cassava cake Monday, it's Tuesday and there's already mold. It has been in the fridge too.
    Nancy N.

    Don't ever get their cassava cake. I picked one up on Monday and it's now Tuesday night (less than 24 hours later. It has been in the fridge since I got it and went to go have a piece and see that there's mold. Ugh. Not cool. I'm now questioning all the other stuff...

    Sticky rice with coconut light sweet

    Chè Hiền Khanh? Let me tell you... this place is dangerous. I walk in for one dessert and walk out with a bag big enough to feed a small village. If you go around 9:30-10 AM, the desserts come out fresh and HOT -- like "I-can't-wait-but-I'm-burning-my-mouth-and-I-don't-care" hot. And that banana with coconut cream? Listen... if loving it is wrong, I don't want to be right. I would marry that dessert if the law allowed it. I buy chè here every. single. day. I think they know me so well they probably have a bowl ready before I walk in. Fifty desserts to choose from, and my brain just shuts down like: "BUY ALL OF THEM." And I do. Then I share with friends so they don't judge me... too much. Prices start around $3, which is basically free considering the emotional support these desserts provide. 10/10, would risk my diet again.

    Che Thai 5/5 stars. Top notch! Has jackfruit, longans, etc! Super refreshing!
    Dennis L.

    If you like viet desserts, this is the place to buy it. Again, parking is still terrible so you'll wanna park across the street in the neighborhood. I ordered a ton of items! They accept Zelle here!! Yes, Zelle! So no need for cash anymore! Yay! The Che Thai is the best here. Everyone gets it! The sticky rice is a little dry but they have durian xoi so everyone gets it! They speak English, and if they don't understand you, you can just point to it. Service is great and place is fairly clean. I'll be back! Yum

    Jacinda X.

    Lots of Vietnamese desserts to choose from! There are no prices listed, so just ask. I had to get the Che dessert drink and it was PERFECT! It was so good that I went back in to get another before leaving. There are homeless people outside of the shop and the parking is small.

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!

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!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. 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. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
