    Everything we ordered
    Robert C.

    This was way better than I expected. I was able to get street parking right in front, which was pretty convenient. We got the papaya salad, pho dac biet, and seafood with garlic sauce. We went with the non-spicy papaya salad with shrimp and I liked that it had tomatoes and green beans in there. The pho dac biet was good and the tendon was really soft. The seafood with garlic sauce was really good with a lot of variety of seafood. Clams, mussels, both real crab and imitation crab, fish, shrimp, and squid. Came with rice to soak up that sauce. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but the service was good and didn't have to wait long to eat.

    We were craving tom yum soup and decided to try a new spot that had great reviews. From the outside it looks small, but once you're inside it's actually pretty nice and comfortable. We went on a Sunday night around 8 pm, and at first the place was completely empty, which kinda scared us because what if food wasn't good. But we knew it close at 9:30, so we assumed maybe that's why it was empty. As we started eating, the place quickly filled up, and after trying the food, it made total sense why. The tom yum soup was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and just what we were craving. The chow mein portion was HUGE and super satisfying. Prices were very reasonable too, about $50 for both plates. And the service was great, everyone was super attentive. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    Finally had the chance to try this restaurant! It's so cute, small & very modern inside. We stopped by on a Friday evening around 6:30 & were seated right away! Our food came out fast. All the employees are so friendly. We tried the Pad Thai combination which was absolutely delicious & flavorful. Egg rolls were nice and crispy. Pho brisket was so good and it was a big portion! To drink I got Thai tea which was good, nothing crazy but would get again. It is kind of hidden unless you know the area! We will definitely will be returning & if you're planning on going, go! You won't be disappointed.

    This place was incredible really worth the stop and everything from what I was seeing come out the kitchen while I was waiting looked fire. I seriously never give a perfect score but this was worth the hype and shout out. My take out met every expectation and more

    Rare beef pho

    We loved the spring rolls. Would come back even if that's all they made here! So so good! The pork Pad Kra Pao was also really good! The Rare Beef Pho was not good tho, as much as I wanted to love it - it was lacking pho flavor and the steak pieces were tough and dry. Next time I'll try another dish instead because they all looked really good on the tables around us. The place is cute and the service was great. Super friendly welcome and frequent checks to out table. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Wow they just opened 10 days ago and that's the first word that came to my mind when I tasted their food. This is clearly the definition of a hidden gem! Ambiance - it's a cool dive vibe and the decor is modern and chic . Service - extremely attentive courteous and friendly. They knew what to suggest and also they were on top of all our needs Food- this is where it gets good . The food was amazing I will say that you must come with a healthy appetite and try everything yourself . Please try the crispy crab fried eggroll to start and also the amazing coconut shrimp . Just come in and eat. Welcome to paramount and Downey area . A great addition to the community !

    Came to have lunch/dinner with my mom that was local. The food is very delicious and large portioned for 2. The ambience is very cute and chill. Music is not too loud and can have normal conversations. The service was excellent, kind customer service and attentive. I definitely recommend and will go back

    Seafood pho
    Jonathan P.

    Wow, where do I even start? This was the best fall I've ever had in my life. If you haven't came here you better come the best employees super nice. The wings were crazy. Good and they gave me some fire spicy mayo my goodness it was so good definitely coming back maybe every week who knows. The inside is so clean they have a good YouTube playing.

    Service was friendly and fast. We went to this restaurant when it was Velma's and it looks completely different. It's clean and bright with pretty light fixtures. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The prices are on the high competitive side BUT the portions are huge. We can eat a lot and we had almost full containers to take home. We can do 3 full meals tomorrow and that's a fantastic deal! We will definitely be back soon.

    If you're thinking about trying Viet Thai Cafe, don't think twice. Just Go! Their food is fresh, flavorful and serving sizes are great! This is one of those while in the wall places you always hear about from your friends or family. My wife and I ordered out and they had our food ready all within 20 minutes. Great Service. We'll definitely be going back soon!

    The bowl was full and still leftovers in the containers.

    This place recently opened up around the corner from me. It's clean and decorated cute. Super nice staff. The food tasted great, big portions and great price. Lots of options to pick from. Had several things and everything was delicious. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant.

    Amazing Viet and thai food place! I got a beef pad thai plate and the portion was GENEROUSSS! Their food is fresh and so flavorful! I've also ordered take out and their food quality and portions don't drop! The owners put a lot of love in this restaurant and you can taste it in their food. I love the vlog YouTube videos they play in the restaurants where the people are in southeastern Asia, making the place so cozy as you eat the asian cuisine. Definitely will be a new to go place on my list!!

    This is their beef bahn mi.
    R G.

    This was our 2nd time here and so far we've had beef pho, beef pad see ew, mango sticky rice, orange chicken, beef drunken noodles, beef bahn mi, and shrimp spring rolls. I really don't have any complaints about anything! The portions are huge, enough for at least 3ppl. The staff is also very nice and I kinda like that their TVs play what seems to be a show about different Asian street foods. Only thing I can say is the bahn mi was different than others I've had but still good. And their spicy meter is a little higher than average I'd say But didn't stop us, we just added white rice!

I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.

That was a good start. I ordered an OG Rice and Egg Roll combo. I chose sweet sausage and spicy sauce option for the OG Rice, which is supposed to have scrambled eggs, sausage, and mixed veggies in the fried rice. What I was given was a half pound of fried rice drenched in sriracha with a few peas and paper thin slices of penny sized sausage circle rounds. This was ridiculous. I took a few bites, dug around looking for the eggs, the veggies, and some actual pieces of sausage..and just tossed it. What a shame. How cheap can you be? seriously. This is such a disappointment and just shameful. I paid $17 for my meal and I was given a mound of rice and sriracha? Wow. The egg rolls were alright. small but crunchy shell, and the pork inside was decent. But it did not make up for the fried rice. The owner has been extremely sweet and reached out to me, so I will be happy to give Pho King another try!

    This Lee's location finally had the cookie butter coffee in stock -- so of course I had to try it!…read more Overall, I enjoyed it, but I'd say it's more of a pleasant twist than a game changer. It's the same Vietnamese coffee we all know and love, topped with a cookie butter cold foam and a light dusting of lotus cookie crumbs. My only wish? More crumbs! The coffee itself doesn't seem to have any added flavoring beyond the classic Vietnamese brew, so that first sip tastes nearly identical to the original. To really get the cookie butter experience, you'll want to stir that foam in well, once you do, it does add a nice flavor boost. Still, nothing that'll blow your mind. That said, I'd absolutely order it again, because let's be honest, Vietnamese coffee is a win no matter what. As for the location, it's decent. The tables could use some attention, and there was a bit of an unpleasant smell, though to be fair, there's a noticeable homeless population in the area outside, which may have been a factor. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered a regular size cookie crumble coffee for $6.99 and had it in hand within five minutes. Can't complain about that!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I drove 45 minutes to this location specifically for Lee's triple-shot original coffee after…read morespeaking with Loc on the phone. The menu clearly lists it as $7.95 + $1 for a triple-shot concentrate. When I got to the register, I was told it was $12.50 because of a coffee concentrate shortage. If the price had changed, that information should have been disclosed over the phone before I made the drive. I understand shortages happen, but if your prices have changed, update the menu. Advertising one price and charging a significantly higher one without any notice is frustrating and feels misleading. Customers shouldn't have to find out after they've already driven there and are ready to order. To make matters worse, Natalie was sarcastic and rude instead of trying to address the situation professionally. Good customer service goes a long way, especially when there's already confusion about pricing. I've always enjoyed Lee's coffee, but this experience was extremely disappointing. Please either honor the posted price or clearly post a notice so customers know what to expect before ordering. UPDATE: After leaving, I went back inside to ask for the manager's name and planned to purchase the coffee at the $12.50 price so I could provide the receipt to corporate along with a photo of the menu. Nathalie refused to give me the manager's name. She then told me she could no longer sell me the coffee because I was right and they needed to change the prices. If the posted price was incorrect, it should have been corrected before customers were quoted and charged a different amount. Refusing to provide the manager's name and then refusing the sale after acknowledging the pricing issue only made the situation worse.
