Legendary pork spring rolls with a flavorful dipping sauce























"Within the first year, MAMA provided support for restaurants like Koreatown’s Jun Won Restaurant, Boyle Heights’ Las Flautas, and Garden Grove’s Brodard Chateau." - Jean Trinh

"A Garden Grove Vietnamese restaurant celebrated for its nem nuong cuon—pork spring rolls with dense pork and crisp vegetables—that travel exceptionally well as takeout; the rolls are a pandemic‑era favorite for their texture and resilience, often ordered alongside rotating dishes like a papaya salad topped with beef jerky and smoked pork liver." - Eater Staff

"Brodard’s nem nướng cuon might just be the most famous dish in the neighborhood. Carefully tucked inside a rice paper wrapper is lettuce, a cucumber baton, fresh cilantro, pork sausage, and a tightly coiled deep-fried wonton. The warm tương chấm dipping sauce is vital to the experience." - Euno Lee

"A sit-down Vietnamese restaurant offering traditional, full-service Vietnamese fare in a busy neighborhood setting." - Eater Staff

"Other dishes also pull inspiration from Vietnamese restaurants across the U.S., like summer rolls made with grilled pork sausage rather than the usual shrimp — a nod to an Orange County restaurant called Brodard." - Robert Sietsema
