"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

Love this place, Always consistent. Go early because it gets really busy. Service is great. High quality ingredients and dishes are a good portion and taste really good. Been coming here for quite sometime and has been my go-to Vietnamese spot for years even tho I don’t live in the area.

Overall a good experience and authentic Vietnamese food. There’s plenty of parking there. We were seated right away. Food came out timely. Crispy noodles and the spring rolls were the best. Egg rolls were average. Calamari had good flavor but a little chewy.

We made a reservation for 2 on Thursday dinner. It wasn't too busy when we sat down but tables rapidly got filled up. The ambiance is a family-friendly diner vibe. The restaurant was accomodating to large parties. *Grilled pork spring rolls (5/5) Oh my oh my! The grilled pork was super flavorful and the crunchiness from the crispy roll and veggies was just perfection. The special sauce was good but I had to add the spicy sauce with jalapeños to give the extra kick. *Grilled shrimp spring rolls (4.5/5) The overall texture was very similar to the grilled pork spring roll but the shrimp lacked the bursting flavor that the pork had. It was still very yummy! *Vietnamese crepe (3/5) The crepe was more like an omelet. It was my least favorite as it lacked flavor. It also didn't have much shrimp, mushroom, and pork than I expected. BUT the portion was huge and had lots of bean sprouts inside the egg/rice flour. I ate it with the spicy sauce with jalapeños to add some flavor to the blandness. *Traditional chicken curry (4.5/5) This was surprisingly so good. I've never had Vietnamese curry before and thought it'd be similar to Thai curry. But it was nothing like it. It didn't have coconut milk and was more soupy. The curry is also served with baguette. You can choose to have rice instead but we got baguette. Dipping the baguette in the soup tasted more like French onion soup. The chicken was super tender and very flavorful. The soup was tiny bit salty by itself but with baguette, it was perfect. *Ché (4.5/5) Ché had lots of beans and jellies. It wasn't too sweet and I loved it! I wished more coconut milk was there though but that's my personal preference. Overall, every food we ordered was delicious! Service was also fast and friendly. 100% I would come back.

This is my favorite restaurant whenever visiting the area. No misses whenever we go. Got the Hanoi style boiled pork, wonton soup, shaken beef, rib eye roll, duck roll, and XO tofu. All 10/10 shoutout to our waitress whose name I can’t remember but she was great at explaining the dishes and helping us order based on our tastes.

Ok, get the sauces. It's all about the sauces. We ordered different kinds of spring rolls, like grilled shrimp, ribeye, soft shell crab, etc. They were ok. Tbh, I could make the same myself at home. But when you dip them, omg they are transformed into delicious torpedos exploding with flavor. Each sauce seems perfectly mixed and specifically paired with each kind of roll to make a magic combination of awesome goodness. There are so many good restaurants in Garden Grove, but for soring rolls, Brodard is my go to.

My family and I have been coming to Brodard Chataeu for many years to celebrate a special occasion or order takeout. Overall, the food has been delicious and has warranted many returns. Starting with appetizers, a few stand-outs include grilled pork and fresh shrimp spring rolls, soft shell crab spring rolls, calamari, salt-and-pepper shrimp, and chicken satay. For main entrées, I enjoy Shaken Beef with white rice, Wonton Noodle Soup, Seafood Curry, and House Special Fried Rice. I want to try new dishes next time and see how they stack up to my favorites. My favorite dessert is the Mango Sticky Rice (seasonal), but the Tropical Fruit Fritters and Beignets are also good options. There are plenty of dessert and Che options to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. The dining areas are spacious and can accommodate small and large parties. I highly recommend calling for reservations for large parties. However, on a recent visit, we dined in for lunch with a party of eleven. The day before, we couldn't reach anyone for reservations over the phone (it kept ringing after several tries), so we walked in, and the host still accommodated our party for lunch. The staff and service are kind and attentive. They like to recommend dishes and are always on the go, especially during busy times. However, parking can be a challenge during dinner time. Brodard is a solid 4.5 stars, but I'll round up for the food.

Great location, clean, friendly, attentive service. Had the pot of honey ginger tea and scallop in black bean sauce ($26.95)--six pieces, flavorful & chewy, just enough for one little middle-age lady.

I wanted to take my husband here for the spring rolls since I’ve been raving about it. We got one order of the pork, shrimp and duck spring rolls. All of them were fantastic! The chrysanthemum tea was light and herbally, great finish to end the meal.

The best spring rolls, love the grilled shrimp and the grilled pork. Those 2 are my favorite. The rice paper is nice and chewy and love the crunch in the spring rolls! Other than the springs rolls, they have an extensive menu ranging from pho to special dishes such as crispy duck or the Vietnamese crepe. Love the variety they offer. They have a full bar as well. They take reservations which is a plus and there is ample parking!

This review is purely an homage to the amazing grilled pork spring rolls - nem nuong cuon. I could eat these all day every day. In terms of the pickup it does take a bit longer sometimes when you online order as the restaurant gets busy and I got a bit confused on where to pick up my order (there is signage but I missed it.) Employees are helpful though overall but it is a very busy and popular spot in the area. This is a very casual restaurant in a strip mall location so parking can also get a bit tough when busy.

Brodard Chateau delivers Vietnamese cuisine with an extensive menu reminiscent of the variety you'd find at Cheesecake Factory, all served in an upscale setting with a welcoming ambiance. The service stands out for being prompt, polite, and attentive to customers. I tried the Banh Mi Bo Kho (short rib stew) and found it absolutely delightful--especially the warm, fresh bread that complemented the dish perfectly. My friend opted for the grilled fresh ocean trout, but unfortunately, it didn't look particularly appetizing, and she described it as just okay.

I never been to this location it's more of a restaurant to sit down and nicer than the other location which I normally go to, to just grab their infamous spring rolls. I did the same with this one and just came in to place a to-go order for spring rolls. It came out less than 5 minutes after we sat down to wait after paying. These spring rolls are famous and hyped for a reason. They are delicious nem nuong spring rolls with a special sauce. They add fried wonton paper inside giving it that crunch. Sometimes the wrapping paper isn't soaked all the way and the spring rolls are still a bit hard. Their dessert is kind of pricey. Macarons were $2.50 a piece and a slice of matcha cheesecake cost $13.

I came for lunch. There is plenty of parking. I ordered the glass noodles with crab meat and shrimp, grilled shrimp rolls, and coconut shrimp rolls. The food was very good and delicious. The service can do better. The waiter needs to come by a little more to see if more water or other food is needed.

Brodard Chateau is definitely the higher-end version of the regular Brodard. The standout here is still the spring rolls--absolutely delicious and worth coming back for. I was craving pho, but unfortunately, the pho here was just okay, not their specialty. The fried egg roll wasn't a favorite of mine either. On the brighter side, their broken rice with pork chop was super tasty and satisfying. The Yelp reservation system worked seamlessly, making it easy to secure a spot. Once inside, there's a cute bar area where you can enjoy lunch while catching a sports game, complete with a full bar. The service was decent, and the decor had a nice, upscale vibe. I'd definitely come back for the spring rolls and broken rice, but I'd skip the pho next time.

Brodard Chateau is hands down one of the best Vietnamese spots in Westminster! Their pork spring rolls are legendary, and the dipping sauce is next-level. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious!! The service is quick and friendly, even when they're packed. Definitely a go-to for amazing Vietnamese food! On the pricier side, but still all good.

I always come here for Nem Nướng Cuốn, it's soooo delicious The other dishes are just good as well! One of the top Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Great service! Love this place

I really enjoyed this place ALOT, I had celebrated my birthday, Christmas party, Tet family gandering, work events, and of course many friends gardening. The foods are great, abit of fusion but they well known is the rolls and I love to go to the bar and sit there with lychee martinis and rolls and enjoys the moments. The services are very attentive with menu knowledge. The place got it own parking so no needs to walk far and the decor is minimal but relaxing & enjoying. It's my hangout for rolls and martini.

I believe that Brodard Chateau has levelled up its game. It's always been good, but everything that I had during my visit today was great! The ambiance here is upscale compared to the other restaurants in the Brodard family. We were able to get seating pretty easily before 6pm on a weekday. What Brodard has always been known for is its spring rolls. What's not to like about spring rolls? You have meat tightly wrapped with veggies in rice paper. If you check out my pictures of said spring rolls, you'll notice a few things that they do to elevate the spring roll game. It's impossible to not notice the crispy egg roll wrappers in the middle of the roll; however, I also love that it's packed with herbs. Their signature sauce (nuoc mam) is also delicious. If you want a boost of spice with your rolls, they serve their chili sauce (reminiscent of sambal oelek) with a heavy hand of freshly chopped thai chilis. I heard you can ask for raw garlic on the side - I need to do this next time! Our server recommended the salt and pepper calamari and it didn't disappoint. She said that "once people discover the item on the menu, then they get it every time". It's a flavor bomb and it's packed with every aromatic and flavor enhancer you can imagine. I ordered the Bun Cha Hanoi as our entree. It's also known as "the obama" or Bun Cha Obama by some, after Obama and Anthony Bourdain shared the dish in Hanoi in Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Our server told us that most eat the Obama by mixing all of the ingredients together and plating. We opted to eat it as a lettuce wrap, which she said is her preferred way of enjoying this dish. Layering the vermicelli noodles in lettuce with shiso and mint, delicious charbroiled pork, and the sweet, savory citrus fish sauce was so good. If you haven't tried this dish, I would highly recommend it. If you eat it as a wrap, then I consider it very shareable. I wish I had room for dessert, but I'll have to order five less spring rolls next time. I'm so happy that I came here tonight - I have a feeling I'll be back again soon.

Came here for the spring rolls (as anyone should). Although the menu doesn't specify,you can order two, three, or four in an order. It's $12 (incl. tax) for 4. Delicious as always. Call in ahead for quick pickup.

Recently visited and it was a delightful experience! The ambiance is charming, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The service was fantastic--staff members were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment. As for the food, it was quite good! The flavors were well-balanced, and everything was presented beautifully.

First time at this location and had a really nice dine in experience. It's definitely more intimate and a little slower pace than their main location. I would recommend coming here for dinner with a small group. A friend mentioned they had salt and pepper calamari, which had good texture but needed more pepper and lime. Their signature pork spring rolls were just as good as the ones at the main location. The steak pho had very tender pieces of meat and the banh xeo was crisp/held together well.

Brodard Chateau, I really wanted to fall head over heels for you, but alas, it was more of a lukewarm "meh" than a grand romance. With so many people singing your praises, I arrived with high hopes, eager to experience what everyone had been raving about. But today, I'm left with a firm 3 star conclusion. We strolled in for lunch on a Saturday around 2PM, and I must say, being seated immediately was a pleasant surprise. The interior? Impressive, to say the least. With its spacious layout and castle-esque decor, the "chateau" theme was in full effect, which certainly made for a grand first impression. We started with some of the usual suspects: nem nuong spring rolls, banh xeo, and bo luc lac. Each dish delivered in its own way, but none of them quite hit that high note I was hoping for. The nem nuong in the spring rolls was definitely flavorful, but the overall roll? Just a bit underwhelming, lacking that punch I expected. Now, the banh xeo... I had such high hopes. The addition of mung beans was a delightful twist, enhancing the flavor with a lovely depth, but the batter was too soggy for my liking. It needed that crisp snap, but instead, it fell a little flat. As for the bo luc lac, while I appreciated the creative addition of mushrooms, the overall saltiness of the dish was a bit much. My tastebuds felt like they were treading water in the Dead Sea. Now, perhaps part of this disappointment was due to the build-up from well-meaning friends who had hyped this place into the stratosphere. Did I set the bar too high? Possibly. Although I'd like to add that the staff was very attentive, our empty plates were whisked away with perfect timing and our check arrived swiftly so we were out of there in no time. In the end, I don't think Brodard Chateau is inherently bad, but it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Perhaps it's more a case of personal taste, and that's totally okay. Still, I'm glad I gave it a try, it's always nice to cross a restaurant off your list. That said, I can't ignore the fact that the recommendations I received were all for their Fountain Valley location, so maybe I owe it to myself (and to Brodard) to give that spot a chance. Who knows? Maybe that's where the magic happens, and I'm more than willing to find out.

One of our go to spots when we are in the area. The food is good. The portion of the pho was not $18 worth though. I've gotten bigger bowls the same cost with the same taste. Rather than the sever giving out the plates to our party. He "designated" my brother in passing the plates around. Lol. Talk about rude when we are conversing and enjoying our vacation. The restaurant is nice and clean. Potentially prefer the original location. Much of a welcoming feeling.

This is our go to spot for spring rolls. The crispy on the inside with the sauce -- no better pairing. If you haven't tried them before, it's a must. Generally we order take out and they are always quick and ready to go when they tell us. Thus, to go service is great!

Humberto C.

Yelp
The Chateau is a charming restaurant with Vietnamese-French inspired dishes and decor. I had the Sole Fillet Soup which was flavorful but I still didn't feel satisfied. The waiters seemed very busy that they only came by to refill our water once- they must have been short staffed. We got our food within 15-20 minutes and I couldn't find a waiter to get my dad a fork. So I had to go look for one. They were nice about it- but once again- they might have been short staffed. I've been to the other bigger Brodards a few minutes away, and I think I prefer that one, this one seems a little too dark, moody and cramped.

Shawna C.

Yelp
Spring rolls were super fresh and delicious plus the sauce is always yummy. All the fresh veggies, meats and sauce with the crispy crepe was so good. The shaken beef was the kids favorite and the adults loved the bengeits with coffee ice cream but the kids not as much.

Edward V.

Yelp
I asked for extra mint but instead there was no mint but added cilantro... this is not a good replacement for the mint. Please don't add cilantro as a substitute or at minimum ask beforehand if acceptable. Very saddened by the visit today. I would have preferred to have no mint and no cilantro. Flavor profile has been degraded by this change.

Kristine W.

Yelp
Stop what you're doing right now & get your spring rolls here. I bought the pork spring rolls, shrimp spring rolls & calamari. I would ask to fry the calamari a bit longer to get that extra yummy crunch! The inside of the restaurant is big & beautiful. I did not eat inside, I did order for pick up, but I'm sure the staff was nice!

I'm caming at Brodard Chateau in Garden Grove many years but never review and it was an absolute delight! The variety of spring rolls, appetizers, salads, and rice dishes left me spoiled for choice every time I'm dining here. The grilled pork spring roll was a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked & super crunchy! Ha Noi style smoked pork noodle ( bun cha Ha Noi ) , seafood clays pot , moon cake ( banh khot ) Sole noodles soup ( bun cá ) garlic noodles with shaken beef everything is perfect for many year . After Covid things here changed the values of food and prices are when up a lot , The food is way over priced, and the quality and portions not worth it. The inflated prices must pay for the The inside of this place for to be fancy Vietnamese restaurant .

Solid dining spot. The dishes that are a hit, hit well. Here's what we got: - Rib Eye Beef Roll w/ amazing Asian style chimmichuri sauce (5/5) - Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings (not on the menu but you can ask for it, it's w/ lemon pepper, fried to perfection (5/5) - Roasted Duck Salad (5/5) - Grilled Shrimp Roll (3/5) - Garlic Noodles Crab & Shrimp (3.5/5) - Grilled Eggplant with Shrimp (2/5) - Che Bao Mao (3/5).

Came in on Labor Day holiday for lunch and this spot was so busy! We had waited a while to be seated despite having a reservation, but once we followed up they seated us immediately. Our waiter was really quick and efficient, and food came out as it was ready. The decoration was pretty nice and updated here while the atmosphere was pretty casual. My favorite things we ordered were the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, Garlic Noodles wokked with Jumbo Crab Lumps & Shrimps, and the Shaken Beef. the Thai Tea was also very flavorful and yummy. I found some of the dishes to be a little bit salty for my taste, but overall it was delicious. There's a big parking lot available here as well, and I found looking at the QR code menu to be really helpful because it showed pictures of the dishes, the physical menu was primarily text & written descriptions :)

I've been wanting to try this spot for ages, especially since they're known for their spring rolls, and I was curious to see what all the hype was about. After finally making it over, I'd say the food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The portions here are huge, so it's a great spot to share with friends, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We started with the grilled pork spring rolls, which were good. I loved the crispiness they had--added a nice layer of texture that I appreciated. Next, we tried the chicken thigh garlic noodles. The flavor of the chicken was fantastic, tender and well-seasoned, but I felt the noodles could have used a bit more garlic to really bring it all together. We also got the broken rice with pork chops. The pork chops were grilled nicely, and the fish sauce poured over the rice added a subtle, pleasant flavor. Lastly, we had the Hanoi-style smoked pork noodles. The pork was smoked well, and it was interesting to see different cuts of pork, including some in a meatball form. The pork came in a bowl with its juices, which we could pour over the noodles. This added a nice flavor to the dish, and I really enjoyed it. Service was a bit hit or miss, though. Our waiter was hard to track down, and it took a while to get the check and some boxes. Overall, the food was decent, but nothing really stood out to me. If you're in the area and looking for large portions at a good price, it's worth checking out, but I didn't find it particularly special.

Came here and ordered the shaken beef with jasmine rice, house beef noodles, banh xeo, and 2 orders of shrimp and pork spring rolls. The inner ambiance is very traditional and home-y, and very clean which we liked! One down side is that the restaurant is very big and busy, so service is not as attentive with your table and does not check up on your table frequently. However, all the workers are very kind! Shaken Beef: 6/10 This is a very popular dish here! But personally, I do not like the taste of oyster sauce, which was a very prominent flavor in the dish. Spring Rolls: 10/10 The spring rolls here just never disappoint! Always a favorite :) Bang Xeo: 7/10 House Beef Noodles: 7/10

Very nice Vietnamese restaurant. Very clean with a high end feel. The nem nuong was the best food we had here. The fish on the sizzle plate also was good. Able to serve a large party with overall good service!

Love coming here and getting their Pork Spring Rolls. They have this creamy fish sauce that comes with it and it's absolutely delicious. I also got their Brodard special bun which is over vermicelli noodles and it was tasty. I think their pork rolls are the best on the menu. I've tried other items like broken rice or pho and I feel that it's not as tasty as other Vietnamese restaurants. Large selection of desserts but it's a bit pricey. Many flavors of macaroon as well. We opted for the opera cake which was ok and somewhat dry. Service was Ok as our server took a long time to bring up drinks and even longer to refill them. Overall good experience.

very busy during dinner hours but their food is yummy. i'd recommend their spring rolls with the pork. their sauce to dip is none like i've had before, it pairs nicely with the rolls :) they were out of some of the desserts when i went though inside has a lot of seating and it's nice and clean

Michelle P.

Food was amazing! Service was prompt in the beginning. We ordered a variety of items. Food was coming out quick, but towards the end... our noodles lagged getting to the table. There may have been some details lost in translation, because we got an order of shrimp and another order of beef garlic noodles instead of shrimp AND beef garlic noodles. Looking forward to returning to try more food

Took my teenage kiddo here for her birthday - secretly more for me, though, because i dream about their rolls more than i should - and we had such a delicous meal! arrived early on a friday evening and were able to grab a table (there's mainly downstairs seating but space upstairs for private events and if it gets super crowded). growing up as the daughter of a vietnamese mama, i'm used to vietnamese restaurants and this one is definitely authentic (we tested the pho and the broth is legit) and has a nicer upscale feel. shaken beef is really tender and flavorful but of course their items to get are the rolls with the amazingly addicting orange sauce. has their own parking lot, bar area but looks like people more come to eat than drink, saw some cute dates here but my kiddos and i didn't feel out of place - probably need reservations during busier times

Jessie H.

Yelp
This place is a nice sit down Vietnamese food restaurant. The menu is pretty extensive with many options. The spring rolls are super fresh and has a nice crunch to them. Definitely my favorite dish we got. Seafood clay pot was a bit too salty for my taste, but plenty of seafood on there. The broken rice is a classic, the pork and shrimp were good with flavor. Definitely recommend the spring rolls the most though!

Ashley H.

Yelp
Came in for a Friday dinner with a +1. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but we were seated pretty quickly once we got into the restaurant. We were seated in the room on the right side of the stairway. There wasn't much decoration, but it was very clean. My table ordered the Thai tea, lychee mint tea, nem nuong spring rolls, ribeye roll, and banh khot. The Thai tea was definitely the better drink and the lychee mint tea was more like an unsweeetened mint tea with two crushed lychee. Banh khot and rolls were solid! Would definitely come here again to try more menu items.

Ambiance - this is a big enough restaurant that allows you to have private conversations without being heard by other patrons. There were plenty of parking spaces. Service - excellent. Our waiters were always within proximity for us to be able to call on him for questions, additional orders etc. Food - we ordered several rolls (crispy egg roll - my favorite, Vietnamese crepes-so good, crispy pork roll - good, vegetarian roll - surprisingly flavorful - another favorite so we ordered another one and hot taro che (love this one so much. I know I'm going to crave this). I've never had che before. It is a milky sticky dessert that has the perfect sweetness. The most expensive item we ordered was the crab shrimp garlic noodle for $35. It was very good but we were already full even without it. We also ordered a pot of ginger tea. We were a party of four and our bill (with tip) was $148. The meal was well worth it. We will definitely be back.

The pork rolls were crispy and flavorful, making them a highlight of the meal. I will certainly be back solely for the pork rolls, some of the best I've ever had. The Beef Vermicelli was also good, with tender beef and fresh noodles. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, Brodard is a solid choice for a meal in Garden Grove.

Front desk girl had an attitude. At first I thought maybe it was just my situation but as I waited for my food I can see other customers coming in and how she was treating them. Maybe she was having a bad day. Also did you know for a soda drink it's $6 that's pretty hefty for a soft drink

Pho, banh canh, and wonton noodle soups were all great. Pho broth was flavorful. Also had the vermicelli with lemongrass beef. Tons of lemongrass.

Great service!!! Staff changes your plate after each entree to ensure all the flavors of each dish are fresh and don't get mixed together. The nem nuong rolls are the best thin on the menu! Order a lottttt. I love the high end ambience of the restaurant ! Parking can get fill quickly but it's so worth it to visit!

Even on a Monday night, there are multiple groups meeting for dinner so it's a little loud. I recommend the honey ginger tea (you'll know you're getting to the end of the pot when it starts getting spicy). Fried King salmon rolls are a kid friendly appetizer. Our server would repeat and rephrase our orders to make sure there were no misunderstandings (glass noodles and vermicelli are not the same!). We liked the beef noodle soup and shrimp spring rolls.

I ordered some spring rolls online for pickup on my way to pick up my brother from the airport. I managed to eat a couple of these fresh in the parking lot right after picking them up, and oh boy these were some of the best spring rolls I've had! I ordered the grilled pork, grilled shrimp, and rib eye. The rib eye was actually really tasty with the chimichurri dipping sauce, but more of a western flavor profile. The grilled pork and grilled shrimp kind of tasted the same in my opinion, but the crispy egg rolls were a really nice touch. The rolls are pretty large and more filling than you'd expect! Takeout experience was very straightforward and food was ready on time.

I'm Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen was invited to join a friend's 20th anniversary revelry here for a lovely dinner. The restaurant itself has old school elegance. The food was WOW! We enjoyed the shaken beef, coconut shrimp spring rolls, and the garlic noodles with crab and shrimp. Each dish was fresh and had layers of flavor and texture. This is not the typical Vietnamese food, but a style that is a bit more artistically daring. Each plate was equally delicious. We vowed to return very soon in order to try more of the dishes offered. Bravo! The end.

I heard rumors about how Brodard Chateau was the fancier, more expensive version of their sister restaurant. After trying it for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. One huge perk of Chateau is the smaller crowd and quieter ambiance. I feel like I can have a nice conversation and relax during my meal. I wouldn't say the interior is fancy, but it is slightly more upscale and includes the attentive service you would expect from an American establishment. We ordered the passionfruit and dragonfruit cocktails, and the passionfruit was definitely our favorite. The food tasted just as good, if not better, than the original location. We even compared the two menus and the prices were the same. Next time, I will opt to visit Chateau instead for the more enjoyable ambiance and service.

Brodard Chateau is AMAZING! The food here is just next-level delicious. The spring rolls are out of this world-- packed with that crunch in first bite and tons flavor. That dipping sauce? Incredible! We also tried a few other dishes, and honestly, everything we had was fantastic. Highly recommend!

This is a very popular Vietnamese restaurant in a fancy space. The food is okay but I also feel it's been overhyped. I tried the duck spring roll, grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls, Brodard special vermicelli, thang long-style noodles, and chicken with garlic rice. I've had the nem nuong rolls years ago and remember they were just okay. The included crispy roll didn't have a filling, whereas my go-to place has shrimp inside. I like the one with shrimp inside better. All the dishes were okay, except for the thang long-style noodles - this was delicious! This would be the only thing I'd get again. It's not likely I would return anytime soon because of the distance, the insane wait time to dine in, the no parking situation, and the crazy wait time to pick up your food for online orders. I think I waited an extra 15 minutes after arriving.
