Den Da Coffee & Tea Restaurant

This place is THE definition of a true neighborhood gem in Westminster. They've been serving up delicious coffee and drinks and Viet comfort food for over 7 years now and are a literal hidden gem tucked away in the back of the plaza, and they've also got the cutest outdoor patio. And you know the food is about to HIT when all you see are old timers there. They're usually popping off in the morning or during lunch but I went in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. You can get your pho fix here, but trust me when I say the Bo ne, which is ribeye steak that comes on a sizzling hot plate, is a must-order. Rip off a piece of freshly-baked baguette, dip it in the amazing umami gravy with steak juices, add a dollop of mushrooms and steak on top, and that's how the locals do it. And they're jumping in on the salted egg yolk craze with their salted egg yolk pasta with crabmeat and jumbo scallops. Thanks for reading! ^-^

If you are looking for basic, affordable and casual Vietnamese food and coffee, visit this place. Ask a Vietnamese native person to take you. The food here is not fancy but it is decent and affordable. With inflation and everything else going on in the world, where else can we get a decent bowl of soup for $14? The coffee here is also strong and good. Plus they sell lotteries here.

This was my first visit to Den Da Cafe. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. It was breakfast time, and I ordered banh mi chao (breakfast hot plate) and salted Vietnamese hot coffee. Both were extremely delicious! They serve you complimentary hot tea, which was also very pleasant. I will come back to Den Da, for sure!

Food was delicious, they gave me the right amount of vegetables for my order (my order was the com chay with shrimp) not too little or too much. Most of the food on the menu were at a good price, 10-20 dollars. The waiter was nice, and waiting for my food didn’t take that long.

Can’t review the Bo Ne as my son devoured it! To the pho, surprisingly good. The meat was tender, broth was light and a tiny bit sweet than usual but in a good way. Normal dry noodles and came with sriracha and hoisin but no chili oil or sate. Again I wasn’t expecting much since pho didn’t seem to be their specialty but enjoy it more than most pho back in Seattle. Note, it does seem like the average pho here is better than Seattle!

Coffee, smoothie, juices, food are all good, specially the crispy rice with vegetables n belly pork is the best. I've tried so many places for this food but no where else can beat it. Good place to chill w friends n families also.

My first Vietnamese breakfast and it was great. I wish the hot plate was sizzling. But man that sauce and that bread is like heaven! Smoothie ice was good. Hmm overall very good meal.

I have a case in Westminster and I've been seeking out authentic Vietnamese dining experiences down here every month or so, usually for a late breakfast. This spot was first up for the search of "Vietnamese breakfast". Crowd was 100% Vietnamese speaking including the waitress. Incredible outdoor dining vibes make you feel like you are in the Sympathizer by Viet Tranh Nguyen. I had the breakfast platter which was a fried egg, cucumber, four slices of hard sausage, some pate and a spongy sausage type substance. Amazing.

Food// Salmon skillet (Cả Salmon) was delicious and highly recommend because it comes with a small bowl of veggies and super crispy baguette! One of the best baguettes I've eaten. It comes with a small packaged butter. Both salmon and beef skillets contain the same sauce with an egg, couple of potatoes, onions, mushrooms and garnish of parsley and green onion. The medium rare beef skillet wasn't as sizzling hot as expected and prob because we asked for medium rare but would have preferred that. Clear noodle seafood stir fry had a couple of mussels and bits of scallop. Not bad. Service// Nice staff. Attentive to refilling my water and bringing extra plates. Ambiance// Not a whole lot of seating inside but not that limited either since there are tables and chairs outside too. Only downside is for me was the smoking. Other than that, it's a cute brunch/restaurant place for some Vietnamese foods line the infamous Bo Ne/ Beef skillet.

I love bo ne!! ( beef skillet). Den Da 's bo ne has their own unique style . I think they use fillet mignon. Nice seasoning. How ever both dishes didn't come out as hot as I expected. I like how they include the salad on the side for my Bo ne. Banh mi xiu mai ( meatball) didnt include the side salad, however there are more toppings for this dish. Overall: 3.5/5 in my opnion. Also :Their coffee is really good

I purchased a Milk Tea Boba and an order of french fries for my son. The Boba was watery and the fries portion was very small for $6.50. Don't waste your money here.

Bun Rieu is flavorful and has all the right herbs as well as the range of meats -- pork, shrimp balls etc. My family recommended the coffee here which is how I tried Den Da for the first time. The house specialty cafe sua da (the one that comes with sea salt) is very tasty. I highly recommend!

It's no Nep Cafe but it's an okay spot to take your older Vietnamese parents and numerous aunts or uncles. This is a casual Vietnamese food joint near Asian Garden Mall. Not the most authentic, but okay for a quick bite to eat in a cafe-like setting. Prices are a little steep for the quality of food. Plenty of free parking. Indoor and outdoor seating with shade. No wait when we arrived, but the tables and floors were a little dirty with crumbs and other food. Food: - Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodles (3/5): For $13.5, I've definitely had better elsewhere in the immediate surrounding area. The sauce tasted like mostly soy sauce and not much else. - Salmon Hot Plate (4/5): For $14.50, this comes with salad, a baguette, mushrooms, and half a small potato. The sauce was good, but the portion is on the smaller side. - Avocado Durian "Smoothie" (3/5): For $8, this was pretty pricey. Not much durian included and not enough condensed milk. Service was up to expected standards. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, I would go somewhere else. If you want a decent variety of Vietnamese food in a casual cafe setting, then you can give it a try.

This rating is only for the atmosphere, iced coffee, service, and mini sesame balls. My friend recommended this place for Vietnamese iced coffee. It was definitely strong, but I wish they added more condensed milk or something. It was $5.50 and not worth it. It was crowded on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. I had to park farther away. If you use credit card, you have to spend a minimum of $15. I asked for spring rolls to go, but they gave me eggrolls. WTH. SMH. I didn't realize this until I opened the to-go box in my car and didn't want to take them back. Mostly an older crowd of grandmas and grandpas. Someone was smoking outside, and it infiltrated the inside. The inside was small and not pleasant. It was NOT the cleanest cafe which was a turn off. They sold sesame balls right by the register. I asked if they were red bean, and it seemed like she says yes, but it wasn't. It was a yellow paste inside. I was not happy. Plus, it was really, really oily, stale, and hard. Some of the soups that people were ordering looked good, but I won't be coming back. Prices are steep, the place is not clean, and cigarette smoke infiltrates the inside if someone is smoking outside. The service was really meh.

Nice Vietnamese lunch spot. Food is delicious. Place is clean. It's a banger. You should try it.

Love this place! Easy morning with a chatty cafe is all you need. Highly recommended!

LOCATION There were three cars in the group that drove to this place, and one car... of course it was mine... couldn't find it. SoOo, 33% chance you won't find this place. I had a lot of trouble finding it 'cause I couldn't find the name of the place on the building 'cause the store front wasn't facing the street. Their restaurant name also wasn't on one of those columns! It's tucked away deep into a plaza in the back. I'm terrible with maps so I look for landmarks. The landmark you will want to look for to find Den Da is a red Saigon Capital Restaurant (red sign). They are in the same plaza. You can also look for Tri An Dental (red font), Imperial Beauty Supply (green font), Bac Si Trung Chinh (red font), or Perfume Co (green font). FOOD After finally finding them, thank you iphone find my friends, I ordered the following: Bot Chien: 4/5 Bo Ne: 4/5

Came here for breakfast with a friend. Firstly it's hidden from the street so if you don't know where it is, you might have a hard time finding it (my friend found it okay, so it's just me probably since I'm directionally challenged). It is to the left side of Colony Plaza if you're standing facing the plaza, down the alleyway. I love that you can have noodles and rice for breakfast. We ordered garlic noodles with shrimp, and fried Cornish game hen with rice and a runny egg. Both were good and reasonably priced. They also have an array of coffees and teas. Interestingly, they sell lottery tickets as well, and sesame ball desserts.

My boyfriend and I found this place on Tik Tok as an alternative to Nep Cafe, but it's only a good alternative if you go when it's empty. The first time we came was later in the afternoon before closing. My boyfriend got the Bo Ne and I got the Fried Hen with Rice and Egg. Both of the delicious were delicious and cooked to perfection. The filet mignon was tender and the chicken was freshly out of the stove and juicy. We came back this time and each ordered the Bo Ne and the Moi Bo Luc Lac to share. I also got the avocado and coffee smoothie while my boyfriend got Den Da. The filet mignon was tough and chewy this time, making it difficult to eat. The macaroni was cooked well, but the rest of the dish was unflavorful. I also accidentally ate a raw garlic clove that was thrown in the dish. The garlic ruined my experience and I ended up not finishing my food. Avoid coming here on weekends because they'll be preoccupied with other orders, and the food won't be consistently good.

Really solid place with a nice outdoor environment for sitting! Both my parents took me here on separate occasions because of their friends recommendations and because they love it themselves! It's a pretty standard indoor space but there's tons of outdoor seating in the parking lot. It's a nice place to just sit outside and chat with friends while sipping on their special viet coffee! It comes with sea salt cream on top and after you mix it all up it's the perfect drink. Sweet and creamy but not too sweet. I've also had food here a few times and it's good! The wonton noodle soup was nice in the morning after a night out drinking with friends and family. Very tasty and huge portion sizes!

Cute place! Ample parking. Missed the place Once. It's all the way in the corner.. Food was tasteful! Quick & easy dining! I would go back again!

Fave place to get banh mi chao! Servers are always so nice and the place is kept clean

Such an underrated Vietnamese breakfast spot in Westminister. Always busy so try to get a spot as early as you can. My Vietnamese parents were definitely weary because the restaurant name is a bit strange but we were blown away by the foods. The com chay was INCREDIBLE and the bo ne was tender and flavorful. We split two dishes between three people and were so full. The portions are very generous. Also the Vietnamese coffee was some of the best I had in the area. Unfortunately the service is insanely bad but the food is so good that I would continue to go back. Awesome spot. Definitely worth trying if in the area.

The bot chien here is the best I have in the U.S. it's crunchy but not hard like other places. Their other dishes are pretty good too. I didn't realize that their bo ne is popular too. Maybe I try next time but I don't know I love the bot chien here :) The only thing is they close early so I can only eat here for lunch. I would give this place 5 stars but their drinks are quite expensive so yea.

The coffee was really good here, but the service was not horrible, they literally rushed us out before we couldn't even order and made me and other friends uncomfortable, I get that you have to get home and trust me I'm not trying to keep you at your business . But I didn't even feel comfortable ordering a coffee to go because of how everyone was acting, I don't think I'll be back but good coffee

Definitely fills up quickly, so I'd recommend coming in earlier than later. The cafe sua da was strong and portions were large. There are a few patio tables where the doors are kept open and there are usually people smoking outside, so be aware that the smoke might linger inside too.

This is the best Vietnamese spot in in my opinion. We go here every week and every dish is beyond delicious!!! all their drinks are so good too! My personal fav place to eat in the area I always get the sizzling plate of filet mignon. They have the best sweet/savory sauce base for it. Get the crispy flower cake with egg for your appetizer! - So yummy & the dipping sauce is perfect with it! The service is amazing too. Everyone is so nice :) Love this place so much

3.5 stars Vietnamese people love nothing more than a coffee and a long breakfast and this place is just that. It was cracking on an early Saturday morning. I came here specifically to eat their bò né which is a sizzling platter of steak, pâté, and a fried egg. Bò né options are limited these days - not that many places serve this dish, so I was exponentially excited to try it here. My sister and I shared the following: -Bò né ($10.00): a piece of steak, pâté, a fried egg on top of a bed of grilled onions/mushrooms served on a sizzling platter along with a baguette -bánh tráng tron ($6.00): snippets of uncooked rice paper topped with a medley of things -house cold cut combo ($9.00): a Vietnamese charcuterie board I thought the bò né was good, although it was a little too sweet for my liking. Really though. Sweet. But hey, there aren't that many options in Westminster, so you have to make due with what you have. The house cold cut combo was comprised of rolled lunch ham, salami, some pâté, some pickles, and a fried egg. To be honest, if you're gonna make a Vietnamese charcuterie board, why not use Vietnamese cold cuts? Nam would have been good. Some cha would have been good too. All of these choices would have made more sense than salami and ham. The bánh tráng tron was nothing I have ever tasted - I believe it's a fairly new Vietnamese creation and there are many versions of this dish. The flavors and toppings here were great, however, the rice paper was SO, SO chewy, it was slightly hard to enjoy this dish. I liked it so-so. I'd come back. There are some gems on their menu that they don't serve elsewhere.

The Bo Ne is so good, I love the way they put beef on sizzling iron pan. The service is perfect, they keep checking on you. They have tables inside and patio also

This is a great place for summer morning. They have cute outdoor seating. The service is good and the food comes out fast. Vietnamese coffee- 9/10 Bo Ne- 9/10 Bo luc lac- 10/10 Banh cam- 6/10 Bot chien- 9/10

This was my first time trying Vietnamese breakfast and Den Da did not disappoint! After having Vietnamese food my whole life, I did not know that this was a common meal. Environment - I came here on a weekday and there were sooo many people outside. Many of these individuals were smoking and having a jolly good time with their friends. This shows that they have a pretty regular customer base with the locals. There are tons of seats outside under a tent and all spots were taken indoors as well. Be aware that if you want a non-smoking area to eat your meal, you might want to sit indoors. Service - Despite being such a busy morning due to the amount of people, my servers were very attentive and they worked SOOO quickly. At some point, i wanted to help them by taking over for them momentarily... haha they deserve a giant tip if you ask me. Food/Drinks - 1) Bo Ne (filet mignon steak hot plate) - this comes on a hot sizzling plate with a soft steak and pate on a bed of red onions and mushroom sauce. If you like dinner, then get this because you're having dinner for breakfast my friend! The beef was so soft and flavorful. The pate was delicious. This meal comes with a side of baguette so cut it in half and then break it into small pieces so you can add on the beef, pate, red onions, and sauce on top for that perfect bite! 2) Mi y Bo Filet (Garlic noodle w/ filet mignon) - when I first ordered this, I thought that the meat was going to taste exactly like the Bo Ne... but it wasn't! Thankfully. The garlic noodle is not as flavorful as the ones I have had at "sup noodle bar" or "Vox kitchen", but it's a nice soft and gentle garlic flavor that mixes well with the flavorful beef. I was craving noodles that morning so this was pretty good (tastes delicious the next day as well). 3) Su Da (espresso w/ condensed milk, hot) - you cannot have Vietnamese breakfast without a coffee - c'mon! Just order this. I'd totally come here again for breakfast but I'd try some soup noodles next time!

A great cafe style place with AMAZING food. A lovely clean casual restaurant, with wonderful super fast service. The decor is modern, spotlessly clean, with a very fresh look. The food was amazing, and exactly the right portion. The Vietnamese iced coffee was out of this world and my prawns were ... sigh. Also used the 10% yelp coupon. Yay! Easy parking and great food in Little Saigon.

I have been here a few times, but finally I was so impressed that I had to make a review. They have good coffee, using real milk (not the fake creamer like coffeemate that I hate). Their chicken sandwich is delicious. Best I've ever had. Then today I tried their pork sandwich, and I had to stop and contemplate the first bite; it was unbelievable. The flavor, the bread, everything was incredible. They have a small very nice interior, and a decent outdoor area. I'd rather them 6 stars if I could.

Good foods service is okay need more train friendly smoke areas need restrictions smell go inside very bad smell

My cousins told me to try Den Da because they'd go here on a weekly basis. This place is really good! And I loved their customer service! They automatically go around and refill our iced teas without us having to ask, and they were all so polite. Food was a solid 4.5 stars, overall: -clear noodles with seafood was tasty although they only put in one shrimp and one fish cake with two pieces of squid. Next time I'm going to ask to leave out the pork and liver. -Thai tea was soo good, not too sweet and their boba was fresh. Lol I had to order one more to go. -avocado chunks with ice and condensed milk desert was tasty as well. -the egg with flour dish was excellent, especially with the sauce. It came with a little bit of papaya and basil on the side, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was 5 stars. Waitresses were fast in putting in the orders and they were attentive, even when the place was super busy. Costs of these drinks and dishes were reasonable. Customers are able to dine inside and outside the restaurant. I'm coming back to try more on their menu.

Located in a strip mall , kinda in the back. Stopped by here for Vietnamese coffee while we waited to be seated at a restaurant in the same vicinity. We also got these mini mung bean sesame balls because they were so cute looking. Never seen it made in this size before. The service was quick and friendly

At first, I was hesitant to come here because I wanted a place I can eat a good meal. At the same time, we wanted to sit there a bit longer to drink tea or coffee and chat for a bit. A regular restaurant would want us to leave after we are done eating so that others can eat. This is the perfect place to have both. So is the food decent I r good? It's actually good. Their canh bun is popular so I ordered that. My biggest criticism is that there isn't enough oc, cha, and bun. It still kept me hungry. The broth was decent. The papaya salad was good. The tea is great and the ability to eat and chat without worries of being kicked out is awesome. So if you are looking for a place to talk over lunch, this would be a great place. I would definitely come back. For Thinsulin fans, there are limited green light options.

I usually come here only for the coffee! I love their Den Da special! It's semi strong and not too sweet. It's a perfect blend if you don't want to sweet or too strong.

Good food and friendly service. We love to grab lunch with friends from here. Thanks!

*cà phê ngon ...đến cuối cùng *tiếp đải lịch sự *thức ăn ngon ...trên cả tuyệt vời *đến nam cali ..mà không biết nơi đây ...là một điều thiếu dót ...

This place has cute design Good thing that they open 7 o'clock in the morning and have outside sitting . We order Bun thit nuong, canh kho hoa (bitter melon) And fish ball Food is good, little over average but I have to say I've try better. Server is nice. Will come back to try more foods from here

Good, strong coffee. The food was more and tastier than I expected, considering the low price. The staff was friendly and helpful. Free hot tea. Yay! Free WiFi too! Double yay!

Great atmosphere, fast service, good food, reasonable price. Will come back for more.

Our two favorite dishes are Cơm Chay kho quẹt and Bột Chiên. Ca phê sữa đá is really good too but very strong. A friend of ours referred us to this little hole in the wall. We took our family of six and we all ordered the same things. Each couple share cơm chay and bột chiên which works out perfectly for our taste. My sister in law who visits from Hawaii loves coming here for the same dishes. Customer service is really great too. My husband forgot his credit card. He couldn't come back until the following day to pick up and without any problems. They are honest and very decent people. Same thing happened to him when we went to Tan Cảng and our credit card was stolen and used same day

This place is fairly new so I couldn't really give a detailed review on customer service. The miss who helped me seemed to be getting use to their paying system so it took a little longer to ring me up. She was apologetic about it and really nice. The place is so cute and very clean and chic! I love the furniture and decor. I ordered the following: Coconut/jackfruit smoothie- very delicious, stronger in coconut flavor with not an over powering amount of jackfruit. Which I like. I'm not a coconut fan, but this drink was very refreshing. My husband absolutely loved this drink. Not too sweet which we like. Honeydew milk tea- this tasted a little watered down to me, but still good. I love how there is just the right about of flavoring because some places are heavy handed when it comes to the flavored stuff. I would give this another chance, hoping that it won't taste watered down. It's not too sweet neither. Avocado/durian- SO yummy! I've been looking for a place that has this since the only time I am able to get it is when I'm in SJ. I wish they would give a tad more in a serving, but this is not too sweet and it's not blended into a smoothie. You actually get the chance to have fun with it; breaking it down/smashing it on your own and controlling the chunkiness. I absolutely love this pairing! I can go for less ice and more fruits. Overall, I absolutely adore this place and will be a regular! The drinks I have had had the right amount of sweetness. So far, this place is clean and have great drinks/desserts. As for the price, it's a tad pricey, but all start up business' deserves a little love and support. Parking here sucks though, but there's parking in the back area. It is in the same plaza as Mr. Baguette (another favorite place of mine).

Five stars for the coffee and four stars for the food. Come here for the Vietnamese iced coffee! It is strong, tasty, and the perfect amount of sweetness. The food here is decent... I would recommend the bot chien, which is essentially fried rice flour shaped in cubes and mixed in with fried eggs. Parking can be a little tough, but if you're just coming for the coffee, they make it pretty quick!

Nestled in Little Saigon, I decided to try "Den Da" and was not disappointed! I've never been to Vietnam, but I've been told this is about as an authentic experience as you can get in LA Venue- "Den Da" translating to "Iced Coffee" in Vietnamese, is located near the back of a strip mall, with plenty of outdoor seating. The ambiance though can be very animated! I came here on a weekend to find many Vietnamese customers talking and laughing in Vietnamese, and I was told that it is very reminiscent of coffee shops in Vietnam, where friends and relatives will meet up to catch up and have fun. Food- Yummy and cheap! Double thumbs up! I ordered the "Bo Ne" which is basically a steak and egg, served with a baguette and pate. Since the times when Vietnam was French Indochina, there has been a heavy French influence on the cuisine which can be seen in the numerous tasty breads and pastries that are served. I added a photo of what I had, it was delicious! Staff- Friendly waitresses, who all passed the water cup-filling test! I like to stay hydrated :-) Price- $10 for steak and pate? You don't have to twist my arm! I would love to try the other dishes here but it's a bit far from me. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by Den Da- the ambiance may be a bit surprising to non locals, but it was fun and lively, and the food was great! Recommended.

I was looking for a boba place that provides more than just snacks and Den Da fit that category perfectly. Ambiance - 5/5: Upon entering the restaurant, it can easily be described as very clean and modern. Their large windows and hanging lights also add to the modern aesthetic. The bathroom there was also impressively clean. Service - 5/5: Our waitress was extremely kind and considerate. As the only server in the restaurant, she proved to be efficient and attentive. She assisted me with ordering the best food and informed me of a 10% Yelp/Facebook check-in discount. Menu - 4/5: The menu was a bit hard to maneuver through, however, they offered a wide variety of foods. One side of the menu displays their drinks and the other shows the food. The drink menu didn't list any other add-ons that were in the images except for the boba and fruit jelly. On the other hand, the food menu offered many detailed pictures of the food, but some options didn't come with a explanation so it was a tad difficult to figure out what it was. Drinks - 5/5: As for drinks, my order consisted of a Jasmine Green Tea w/ boba and Milk Tea w/ boba and fruit jelly. The Jasmine Tea was unexpectedly better than most places I've been to and more on the sweeter side. The Milk Tea was noticeably creamy and had a hint of fruit probably because of the jelly. We were given 24 ounce cups which makes the pricey $4 actually reasonable. Food - 4.5: I had also ordered the Garlic Noodles with Shaken Beef and the Fried Calamari. The portions were smaller than usual restaurant food, but the pricing was surprising because at the price of $9 you can get Garlic Noodles with the option of Shaken Beef or Shrimp.

Tried this spot again for the bo ne and was disappointed to see that it wasn't as good as my first experience. The meat wasn't as juicy and didn't taste fresh. The service was non existent and I struggled to get my servers attention for the duration of my meal and also to get the check. I don't think I'll be returning due to the inconsistency and lack of service

Love their coffee. Bot chien and number 92 is super good. The beef macaroni is just okay. A little on the greasy side for me and the beef was a bit tough

Jasmine green tea drink so good. Added e seeds so delicious!! Crispy calamari is irresistible

We order for bot chien and bo ne. Bo ne is kinda over cooked, beef is not juicy. Bot chien is perfect with the sauce.

Very nice service & such a nice airy & so much lights. Love the food too. It was delicious.

Not worth second visit. My family ordered 4 different plates, and to be honest, the food was horrible. The food is on the expensive side, but in reality, it tastes worse than street food. They got two stars for having plenty of parking and good service, not for the food.

I came here to try their sizzling beef dish, bo ne. First off my egg was burnt black. The steak was horrible quality and tasted bad. Their bo kho (beef stew) was okay. Don't come here for food. It's better for drinks.

Macaroni and shaken beef ($10.50) - affordable and they give a good amount of noodles and beef. It has a strong soy sauce flavor and they put in a lot of garlic pieces. If you're not a fan of soy sauce or garlic, then this is definitely not the dish for you! However, I enjoyed the dish and thought it was amazing and extremely flavorful. I'm ecstatic to come back and try their other dishes!

The wait is unbelievable. Take forever for the food to come out. Also, parking suck. No parking at all. Many people smoke outside. You are totally being ignore.
