Yelp
My friend and I stopped by Junbi right after their Grand Opening in Garden Grove, and we were really excited to try this new spot! I was especially drawn in by the variety of rice rolls I saw on Yelp, and I'm so glad we decided to check it out. We arrived around 1:30 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes to be seated -- totally worth it!
Banh Cuon Trung Thap Cam - 10/10
$15.99
This is the steamed egg rice roll combo, and it was a hit! It came with a mix of egg, pork, and shrimp rice rolls, plus slices of meat and what tasted like sweet potato fries on top -- such a fun and delicious twist. The variety was awesome, and the portion was super generous. Beautifully presented too! I'd definitely come back just for this dish.
Banh Canh Tom Cua - 10/10
$15.99 (Large size, only $1 more than small!)
Vietnamese udon in a shrimp and crab broth? Yes, please! This soup was loaded -- quail eggs, shrimp, sliced pork, and some bits of crab. The broth was lighter than the version at Brodard, but still packed with fresh seafood flavor. Perfect for sharing, and perfect comfort food!
Service
The lady who served us was really nice and recommended the Banh Cuon Trung Thap Cam when we asked her which rice roll dish to get, and told her it was our first time there. She also told us a small Banh Canh Tom Cua would be enough, but we got the large since it was only $1 difference. The lady was honest, which I liked.
Overall Experience (10/10): My friend and I really enjoyed our meal. Good portions, good value, delicious food, good presentation, and good service. What more can you ask for? They also give you free chrysanthemum or red tea, which is refreshing and has a little sweetness, which is perfect! We will be back! :)
As for parking, they have a decent-sized lot, and there was plenty of parking at 1:30 pm!
