Delicious Traditional Food Worth the Wait
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, centered around the delicious and traditional food. I highly recommend trying their bon bo hue, which was particularly tasty. While the food is definitely worth it, potential visitors should be aware that not all employees speak clear English.
Patience, kindness, and understanding are appreciated. The restaurant offers a small parking area, but street parking is also an option. I will be back!

Delicious Banh Beo and Banh Gio
I really enjoyed the bánh bèo and the bánh giò, which were sold on the counter to go. The bún bò Huế was also good, though it had a bit too much meat for me to comfortably eat at once; I probably should have shared.

Great Bún Bò Huế, Fusion Mỳ Quãng
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning their bún bò Huế, which was very good, particularly dish #1. However, the mỳ quãng was a bit too fusion for my liking. On the bright side, the price was very reasonable.

Excellent Bun Bo Hue and Friendly Staff
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Bun Bo Hue Special, which was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The prices are affordable, making it a great value. I also appreciated that they offer Banh Gio & Nem Chua, which are some of my favorite Vietnamese snacks.

Delicious Bun Bo Hue & Friendly Service!
I visited around noon on a Sunday, and the restaurant was bustling, but fortunately, a table had just become available. The atmosphere is cozy, with about 12-15 tables, and there was a constant wait for tables throughout my visit, which is a positive indicator of its popularity. The NBA playoffs were on TV, and my table offered a perfect view, which was a pleasant bonus.
They accept credit cards, and payment is made upfront at the register. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient. I specifically came for the Bun Bo Hue but opted for the #1, Bun tấm hoài Huế, and it was absolutely worth it.
I ordered the large bowl, which was generously portioned with huge cuts of beef shank and large, flavorful pork and shrimp and crab meatballs. It was certainly a filling meal. The broth was incredible: rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
My only minor critique was that the pork hock was a bit tough compared to other versions I've had. However, this did not significantly detract from the overall greatness of the dish. Overall, the quick and friendly service and the unbelievably delicious Bun Bo Hue make me eager to return and try more dishes.

Mixed Feelings on Vietnamese Noodles
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of good and bad. I ordered the Bahn Bot Loc #19 and #2 noodles. The noodles were good and average, with a lot of meat.
I couldn't finish the portion they gave but it hit the spot for viet noodles. However, the Bahn Bot Loc were bad. They're still wrapped in the banana leaves, and they added pork next to the shrimp.
The pork itself was noticeably dry but an interesting touch, but the main grievance is that ALL the shrimp had their SHELLS still on, with the digestive tract still in. I've never had anyone give me Bahn Bot Loc with the shell and legs still on. I came here specifically for these, so I won't be coming here again.

Delicious Hue Style Vietnamese Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had previously tried Hue style Vietnamese food in Orange County and loved it. I was excited to bring my family here to try it as well, and they absolutely loved it too!
The place is very inviting, and the staff is amazing. I'm glad I brought my family here to experience this delicious cuisine.

Great Food, Terrible Service
I had a fantastic experience with the food, giving it five stars. However, the service on Sunday evening was a complete zero. It seems the boss is usually absent on that day, leading to servers being "just plain rude.
" Specifically, one of the older waitresses made a mistake with my aunt's order. When we pointed it out, she "lashed out" at her, calling her "bà già, " which the reviewer found ironic given the server's appearance.
