    Bun mam
    Dan P.

    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.

    Banh canh
    Janelle P.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Nice hole in the wall restaurant with yummy food! Bun mam and bo la lot (ate too fast to take picture) were delicious! Service was friendly and attentive.

    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.

    Bun Mam (Fermented Fish Vermicelli Soup)
    Tonny V.

    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!

    Hainam chicken and rice
    Gina T.

    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.

    Stopped by to get lunch with my dad, and this place has become his go-to spot for noodles!…read more There were a good number of seats inside, and the restaurant was decorated with lots of traditional touches. When we arrived, we were seated right away since it wasn't very busy. The waitress was really nice and answered any questions we had about the menu. Thank you! Here's what we ordered: Mi Sui Cao Kho (5/5): I really liked how they served the wontons on the side so they didn't make my noodles all soggy. Mi Vit Quay (4.5/5): I think my dad really liked this one. I forgot to ask for his opinion, but he definitely devoured everything in that bowl LOL. Chinese Donut (5/5): Fried fresh, so it was perfectly crispy and honestly so addicting to eat! Steamed Pork Kidneys (3/5): Not bad, but I felt like it was missing something to complete the flavor. Overall, a really good experience! P.S. They also sell banh bao on the side!

    Hue Ky Mi Gia - Food and Service Appear to Be Declining…read more My wife and I decided to try Hue Ky Mi Gia. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and the parking lot is shared with several other businesses, so finding a parking space can be difficult. Location and Parking -- 2/5 The location is convenient, but parking can be challenging because many businesses share the same parking lot. Atmosphere and Comfort -- 2/5 The air-conditioning was weak, and the front door remained open, so the restaurant felt warmer than expected. Service -- 3/5 The service was only okay. The waiters were not especially friendly or welcoming. Food -- 2/5 I ordered the mì vịt tiềm. As everyone can see from my picture, my bowl came with only one small piece of bok choy. In comparison, pictures posted by other customers show the same dish served with several pieces of fresh vegetables. The noodles were okay but much too oily. The broth served on the side was not hot enough, and the duck was dry and tough instead of tender. The pickled vegetables were also too sour. Restaurants can change over time. Based on the difference between my meal and the meals shown in other customers' pictures, the portions and food quality appear to be inconsistent and declining. Cleanliness -- 2/5 The dining area was acceptable, but the restroom needed more attention and cleaning. Overall -- 2/5 Stars Overall, our experience was below average. Hue Ky Mi Gia may be worth trying once if you want something different, but the food, service, comfort, and cleanliness all need improvement.

I frequent SoCal quite often and this spot just slipped between the cracks of my long list of food adventures I wanted to sample. With this most recent visit, I couldn't pass up on the opportunity. Known for their traditional rice noodle soups and the pork kidney dish, Kim Ky Noodle House offers deliciously, customizable, comforting bowls of happiness. There are 7 different noodles to pick from which far exceeds the typical restaurant offerings. Breakfast- *Hủ Tiếu Triều Châu Thập Cẩm- combination dry [thick] egg noodles *Hủ Tiếu Triều Châu Thập Cẩm- combination dry egg noodles & rice noodles *Cật Heo Luộc- Assorted Pork Kidney (Boil) *Dâu Cha Quẫy -Fried Chinese Doughnuts x2 *Vietnamese Egg Soda *Iced Tea Food was delivered in a timely manner. The portions are generous and everything was fresh. The noodles were soft, chewy, and everything you'd expect for them to be- nothing mushy and overcooked here! The broth was flavorful and seasoning was spot on. The boiled pork kidney was a little bland for my tastebuds but cleaned well- which is an absolute must when eating these kinds of innards. 5/5 stars!! Here you will find good food and A1 hospitable service. The staff is so very kind which was such and unexpected bonus!! I'd come back in a heartbeat. This mom and pop shop will leave you wanting more- GUARANTEED!

    Grandpa's Kitchen…read more I've been a longtime customer because their Phnom Penh-style hu tieu has always been very good. They were actually one of the first places around to serve this style of noodles, and I've enjoyed it for many years. However, over time, I feel like the quality isn't quite the same as it used to be. Maybe the prices are a little lower now, but the portions also seem noticeably smaller. I recently stopped by in the evening for some snacks. The atmosphere was open, casual, and lively, although both the service and the food seemed a little slow coming out. The balut was way too big for me, so I honestly couldn't really eat it. But the grilled blood cockles were large, fresh, and very juicy, which I really enjoyed. The restaurant itself is small, but it feels airy and comfortable. They also have outdoor seating, which is especially nice in the evening when the weather is cool. Overall, I still have a soft spot for Grandpa's Kitchen because I've been coming here for a long time. I just wish the food quality and portions were more like they used to be.

GRANDPA'S DRY RICE NOODLE & Moon Snail - Garlic Butter. They were alright. For the prices - it was a really good affordable dinner for authentic Vietnamese food. Quality and taste - wasn't bad but wasn't the best I've had either. Ambiance - clean and nice. Service was good too. Location - great location in Little Saigon, and good plaza with plenty of parking. It's alright. I might come back if I want a quick affordable meal in Little Saigon. I'd still recommend checking them out! Their nightlife is pretty cool - later in the evening on weekends - they play loud Vietnamese music and the place gets pretty packed.

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!
