"The bun bo hue here is the bomb!! Unlimited thai chili's"

"Went here Labor Day weekend because nothing cures hangovers better than some asian soup. BBH it is. I feel better eating this and pairing it with the new hangover pill in town called OHCap and it worked like magic. There’s two locations and we waited about 10 mins for our names to be called. For two people, we ordered the BBH (small), the mi quan, and the banh beo (comes in 10). Perfect amount for two. BBH had good flavor, noodles, and meat but the pork blood seemed old or whatever. Mi quan noodles were fine, and the banh beo was fine too. Nothing really stood out but overall I left full and happy. Thanks to the OHCap and the food, the hangover disappeared as soon as we got home."

"Best mì Quảng in town! They have the most authentic mì Quảng that we have ever had so far in the US. Their mì Quảng does not have a lot of soup (exactly how it is served in central Vietnam) and the flavor was on point, coupled up with the full toppings and fresh vegetables. Yummy! I also tried their Combo Bánh bèo, bánh lọc, bánh nậm and it was really delicious; however, bánh bột lọc was thick so it was hard to chew. I like their fish sauce and the crunchy pork rinds on top were just perfect. My mom tried their Bún bò Huế, and she liked it as well (however, it could be quite salty for a lot of people). Their flavors just hit so many spots. Their parking is spacious, although some specific spot can be narrow (typical in California so we don’t mind). Waiting time can be long and they have a long waiting list. The only thing we didn’t like was the small space within the restaurant. It was a bit too crowded and all the tables were close together as well. Their service felt a bit rush since they were busy, but things just felt hasty. Overall, I would still recommend due to the authentic flavors!"

"The best bún bò huế here is the best I’ve had in the states. It’s piping hot, the herbs and veggies (lettuce, banana flower and bean sprouts) are always fresh and crisp. The broth and meats in the soup is always on point and the bánh béo and bánh lọc is always good as well, it’s hard to find outside of Westminster, and I’m always in the mood for them."

"Staff is friendly and was helpful with all our questions about the menu. Restaurant has that authentic, traditional Vietnamese vibe to it. Their menu is limited but that is due to what they’re trying to focus more quality with. Their Bún Bò Huế is of better quality than most places and is the most popular option. Two of the four in our group got that dish and thought it could’ve been a bit better. The Bánh Canh Tôm Cua tasted better and the Bánh Bèo Chén was fabulous. The Cơm Sườn Tôm took about 25 mins to cook and was alright. If you do want authentic Vietnamese food (that isn’t Pho or rice), I would recommend this place."
