I ordered Bún Chả Hà Nội and Bún Mắm, and honestly, both were pretty disappointing. The Bún Mắm was the worst I've ever had , the shrimp didn't taste fresh, the soup had no lemongrass flavor, and the fish felt cold and undercooked, probably frozen. The Bún Chả Hà Nội wasn't much better; the meat wasn't very fresh either. When we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty , just the two of us on a weekend, which felt a bit odd. The owner was really friendly and welcoming, and when I mentioned how the Bún Mắm tasted, he said he would take it into consideration. I truly want to support small businesses like this, but I hope they improve, because there are so many other options in the Bolsa area. The restaurant itself is clean, and the menu has a lot of dishes, but honestly, these two dishes just didn't work for us. Parking in the T&K area can also be tricky on weekends. read more

hole in the wall in the same plaza as TK Market when we came, there was no other customers; however, the server was a kind, friendly older man. he gave me unc vibes and loved to chat we got the the fried catfish to make spring rolls. it came with a good amount of veggies and their accompanying sauces were delicious. the restrooms is located through the kitchen so be mindful of that, but there is a sink to wash your hands prior to going through the kitchen. the lower rating is because I felt that the fish was not too flavor, lacked peanuts as well read more

Zan Kitchen - 1. Cá Nướng Da Giòn - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

This restaurant is fairly new and appears to not always being super busy. I walked in there recently after getting some dessert next door. The food was surprisingly very good. Requested no pork with the udon noodles since it looks fatty in the picture and they followed instructions exactly. The server, an older man, I believe it's also the owner or family of owner was super nice. Will return soon with family. read more

Bun mam - this hits with a bold fermented shrimp aroma, but is not overly fishy or pungent, just savory with a nice umami depth w mild spice kick. the broth is more sweet rather than sour. Eggplant and crispy pork toppings paired well! Banh hoi bo la lot - the vermicelli bundles had a great soft texture, but they came out a bit cold. the scallion oil was underwhelming, lacking that fresh, fragrant punch it usually brings when it's just-made. the beef was savory with a well-balanced mix of fatty and lean meat, grilled perfectly. putting all of this in lettuce wraps was really fun and refreshing! Service quick and friendly! Easy free parking and there's some cool dessert shops in the plaza for quick stops afterwards. read more

Just had lunch here! Very good food and service! We had the bo la lot, banh canh, and bun bo hue. Bo La Lot was tasty and came with vermicilli noodles and lettuce, the nuoc mam (fish sauce) was very flavorful and paired well ! The banh canh was not very deep in flavor, but still rich and tasty! I enjoyed it! The bun bo hue was also lighter in broth consistency, but still tasty. Next time we look forward to trying the grilled fish! read more

I really do not know how this place got the current reviews it has. We once walked in there to dine but it was freezing inside and my son didn't want to stay because he was so cold. We decided to walk out and 3 people surrounded us too get us to stay, it was overwhelming and uncomfortable. There was no one else in the restaurant. We decided to get food to-go on a diff occasion. We ordered few plates but I'm going to review 1. We order the grilled catfish for spring rolls. I ordered and XL fish . My husband picked it up and it was wrapped so he didn't look at it until we got home. When we saw it, it was a joke! The fish was so small ( and we paid for an extra large). You can see in the pic that the head was the size of an orange slice and barely bigger than two hands . It was a total rip off. They packed 5 pieces of rice paper ( for an extra large) . Which means I've essentially paid $80 for 5 rolls. and the vegetables they packed were not only scarce but it was rotting and looked like left overs that were picked through, I was pretty livid that they thought this was okay to do as we don't unpack to-go orders until we got home. I'd never buy from here again and get why this place is completely empty every time we walk by. The food was flavorless and the sauces were just salty with a weird smell. read more

If you're in the area and hungry, this stop is worth it. I love pho but was interested in trying other Vietnamese soups. This place did not disappoint! The place is clean and looks like most Vietnamese restaurants. The server and chef were very nice. The chef brought out the food and helped us box and bag leftovers. The menu has English underneath, so that helped me. We order a #6 and #7. I wasn't sure I liked shrimp paste broth (#7). It was one of the best soups I've ever had. The broth was perfectly balanced and delicious. They added a good amount of fish cakes, shrimp, pork. The bamboo soup (#7) Came with a separate plate full of duck. It was so much food, we went home with a whole second meal. If you're not into leftovers, just order one soup. Pro tip: The duck in the air fryer the next day was amazing. Take home the sauce for dipping. read more

The Most Interesting Woman in the World had been eyeing this restaurant for awhile now and we recently had a chance to try it. We found the staff to be super friendly and grateful for our business. The ca nuong (broiled fish) was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and not burned at all. It had all the helpings including really good nuoc mam, greens, and rice paper. They had a high chair for the kiddo as well. The only downside is that there aren't public restrooms read more

I'm pretty picky when it comes to food, especially Hai Nan style rice chicken. However, Zan Kitchen definitely got my attention..the place to go to for this dish! Chicken was excellent with its texture and the rice was perfectly flavored to balance with the soup that goes with the meal. As for the nước mắm... OMG!!! it's well made to complete the true taste of the Vietnamese Hai Nan style! I cannot wait to try more dishes from Zan... the baked fish is next on my list! read more

Zan Kitchen - Bun mắm Bac Lieu - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I love this place their bun mam is so good!!! I like the service, they are very kind. It is a nice little restaurant to eat at.

I'm sorry, but this place SUCKS. I almost never write reviews, but I was taken in by all the great reviews for this new restaurant. There was only one other patron in the room restaurant. Neither one of us came anywhere even close to finishing our meals. I tried 2-3 spoonfuls of their nasty soup. I paid and left and went to go get lunch someplace else. Avoid. read more

The fried fish is very delicious and fantastic food and ambience service and and the service is fantastic and friendly and nice service

Bun mam was super salty and all the ingredients there were old. I ate 10% of it and left. Nothing like the pictures on Yelp. Please avoid at all costs. read more

I've been here prob 7-8 times so I can truly attest the quality of food and service here. Super friendly people and high quality dishes. I usually call ahead 20 for the Cá nướng (grilled fish) which feeds 2 people easily. Usually not crowded but the food is really well done. I'm Vietnamese and grew up here so I'm picky but this place is one of my go to. read more

New restaurant. I had to try it to see how good it was. The chicken dish was pretty good. The pork feet bun was interesting, but it was yummy as well. The bun cha Ha Noi was okay, but definitely not the best. It's one of those restaurants where it's good but I don't have a particular desire to go back because there wasn't one particular dish that was compelling enough for me to go back. There's so many new restaurants available that I want to try out. The place is clean and the service is typical. There's no long lines at all. read more

We love trying out new places and supporting small businesses; pictures looked great but food and flavor was not for us. I ordered the banh canh, and bun cha Ha Noi. The prawn in the banh canh was sweet and yummy but that's about it. You get one ham hock, two shrimps, a little crab, two small fish balls and a prawn. The broth was flat, mainly salty with not a lot of flavor. The noodles sadly was mostly broken and not fresh. I agree with the other yelper about the bun cha. The flavor was odd, a bit sour tasting like vinegarish? The patty tasted off, again not fresh. The sliced meat was dry and chewy. Noodles were warm, you can tell it was reheated in the microwave. As for the service, it was takeout so not much to comment. Restaurant business is not easy, and profit loss is real, but quality of food and freshness is the only way customers will return. We wish them luck in this very competitive area. read more

I'm not sure if it's still soft opening or grand opened already, but for the fact that I know it's a very new Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon. The service is excellent. Small restaurant which makes you feel cozy. We all tried Bun Mam which is pretty flavorful, the broth actually comes from fermented fish (not like some restaurant that puts flavor powder which is not good.) That's why we really like the dish. It's one of best Bun Mam that I've ever had. The lady (I think she is the owner) gave us more vegetables without us asking for more which is very good customer service right there. Will come back! read more

Zan Kitchen - Bun Mam (Fermented Fish Vermicelli Soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Just like everyone else , i also love to support small local businesses. Friend introduced us to Zan Kitchen to try out foods. Restaurant is clean, warm, small comfortable. Food: we ordered Bun Bo Hue and Bun Mắm. Bun mắm is too sweet. Bun bo soup is also sweet ( didnt taste much like Bun bo hue), fried onion takes away bun bo hue in my opinion. Bad expierence: we waited for 40 mins for noodle to cook. Hope Zan Kitchen will do better in the future. read more

Love the new mom and pop Vietnamese restaurant! Authentic noodle dishes that always hits the spot and that reminds me of how my mom used to make it. Love their bun mam and bun vit mang sao (rice noodles with bamboo and duck). Hainam chicken is solid too. Super clean restaurant and friendly service. Glad to have a new restaurant I can get my carvings filled when I miss home. read more

I wasn't going to write a bad review but then I thought why not let the public know how SHADY this establishment runs. I've been here once before and ordered a medium size ca nuong. This is the second time my family and I ate here at Zan. Upon ordering, a medium size fish would be fitting for my family and I, since there's three us. The girl that works in the back comes out tells me that they're out of the medium size and only have large size fish left. Mind you it's about 1:00pm and there's no one in the restaurant but my family and I. A large size fish is suppose to feed 4 -7 people so I thought I'll take the left overs home. Guess what?!! WE GOT SCAMMED!!! When the ca nuong came out, I was shocked knowing that it's not a large size fish but a small and it definitely wasn't big enough to even feed the three of us. WE GOT SCAMMED, all for a fricken $10 up charge!!! My husband and son (11) had to order additional two bowls of noodles to satisfy their hunger. SHAME on YOU!!!!! I will never be back to such a SHADY restaurant!!!! We were there I would say an hour or so and still this restaurant was empty!!! read more

Excellent services. The restaurant is clean & the food tastes great. The banh hoi with bo was very tasty.

Parking is good. Food on point. The service is nice. The ambience is relaxing. The price is reasonable.

What a lovely place! Time and Diane took care of me and made special dishes for me and also gave me a special pork soup complimentary. Just fabulous. Would recommend to all I know. They also serve over 400 seniors in a few senior centers daily 5 days of the week. Wow that's very creditable. Will come again. read more

The Foods are flavorable but little bit salty. Service is great & friendly. Would come back again!

Excellent food and ambiance. Can't wait to return for another occasion. Staff was incredible and such a treat for the family.

Came hear for their ca nuong , it is not deep fried , it doesn't taste as oily , friendly staff , will return to try their other dishes !

A little mom and pop restaurant, the service is really nice and friendly, food is delicious. We came in as party of six and the food came out quickly. We ordered banh canh tôm cua gio heo, cha gio tôm cua, bánh hỏi bò là lot and bun cha Ha Noi. We all really enjoyed our dishes. Portions are good size and decently priced. I especially love my banh canh, the broth is super flavorful, pork hock is perfectly cooked, real crab meat, a huge and tasty prawn and some shrimps. We came here at the recommendation of our daughter and will definitely come back for their signature crispy bake catfish. read more

My family and I came a little late but they still accepted us which was very nice. Overall the food was so good! We got the fried cat fish and it was such a big portion for a good price only $40. Usually alot of places charge up to $50+. The workers there are really nice too and making sure we have everything we need. It felt like family owned restaurant which is very sweet and my family and I will go again! read more

I tried this place yesterday for dinner with two friends for the first time. I love the bún cá Hạ Nôi and the bánh hỏi lá lớp dish. It is great to share among three people and the both dishes are very flavorful . It was not salty and it has a great amount of vegetables to share. They should add more lettuce through because three pieces was not enough, the bánh canh that we ordered was too salty in my opinion. The service was very friendly, the workers are very attentive and they gave us what we wanted in a timely manner. I also like how they let us pay with card because that is very rare for an Asian restaurant. read more

Clean, cozy, great service, reasonable prices. Delicious bánh hỏi bò lá lốt and hu tíu nam vang. I will return with my mother.

I tries the Bo Là Lớp. It was good. But they dont offer restroom to at least wash your hands. So I had to go to boba shop next door to buy a boba and wash my hands. read more

The ga hai nam was amazing, always my go to when I eat there. It's always cooked perfectly and tender. Their crispy fish is also always on point, and tastes amazing when wrapped with lettuce and rice paper, ingredients included in the meal were always fresh and never old. They are doing pretty good for a new restaurant, and I usually go there once a week. Pretty good food! read more

Zan kitchen is a new small mom and pop - the wait staff could improve on efficiency and providing a smoother dining experience.

It was an amazing experience! The staff and employees are kind, the food is the best I've eaten, and it is just an amazing and remarkable place to visit. If you're in the area, I would totally recommend taking a visit to this restaurant.

Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone! read more
