DK CUISINE

I came here after seeing many good reviews on Facebook about their Banh Canh Tom Cua (seafood udon) (number 3). I would say it’s pretty good, as expected. The staff was very friendly, and the ambiance was nice. We also got Bun Cha Ha Noi, which was absolutely the best I’ve ever had—none of the places I’ve tried before could compare to it. The BBQ pork slices and patties were so juicy, with a nice BBQ fragrance and the best sweet and savory broth, served with a variety of veggies. I will definitely come back just for the Bun Cha. I also recommend the Bun Rieu and Bun Vit Sao Mang.

I order the Fish cake Noodle Da Nang style: - the broth is good at the standard - fish cakes include 2 types: 1 steamed like, 1 fried. they are good - the side veggie is fresh - space is a bit small - service is fast

9:57 am Sat 4 Nov. Plaza has some nice covered parking. I enjoyed the $15.50 Beef Organ Stew with baguette and tamarind sauce, fresh crushed chili. $1.50 can Diet Coke. Good deal with friendly staff.

We passed by this plaza around Lunar New Year and wanted to give it a try. Everything was very tasty and delicious. Servers were kind and have great services. Decor is pretty modern with concrete floors. We will come back and visit again soon.

Today 9/3/23 After 1 year, the experience was so much better, friendly n sweet staff especially the young smiley gentleman, he opened the door for me. Bun rieu cua dong with oc was legit like always except the noodles were all broken up n rau thơm was very lil, missing tía tô n others 1 year ago The last 3 times were pleasant n came back today to support them again but the food n cs were extremely disappointing. Mien ga was normal n banh canh cua had a bad pork aroma so we ordered another dish n the rice was dry/hard like it's been left outside for hours but the unhappy young man didn't show any concern and not even a smile nor thank you when we paid, he should've taken a day off. Hopefully someone will address this issue before they'll have to close it down.

I've had a lot of bo luc lac or shaking beef in my life, and this was by far the best. Would highly recommend.

The best for banh canh cua, not sure about other dishes. Our family to go for banh canh cua (tapioca noodles with crab) and it's very good in price and taste. We recently tried another dish, steamed catfish for $60. It's not as tasty as the grilled catfish and it's more expensive! The meat is overcooked and the sauce is not good. Overall, I recommend banh canh cua and not the steam catfish.

Poor service. Servers don't respect the customers. We waited for 2 hours to be seated and we came in with 8 adults and a few kids, we ordered 8 "bun mam", 2 plates of fried rice, 3 jugs of drinks, and the waitress said "Is that it!!??" She said it In a way that we didn't order enough food, we're cheap...if you know what I mean.... very bad waitress, at the end of the meal my kid accidentally throw up due to some fish smell, some of the servers didn't help but act like my kid is having a disease or something... Never come back here again

I had little time to eat and decided to come here. The food came out in 5 minutes so super quick with hot soup. The food was delicious. The restaurant also provided plenty of vegetables. I definitely want to come to eat other dishes as well since the bun rieu was fantastic that include a crab cake, several juicy tofu, two pork blood cubes. I also ordered a side of snails. The food total come out to be $18

My friend's craving for banh canh led us to this homey restaurant! Luckily, there was no wait to be seated, and service was incredibly speedy.  We ordered the Banh Canh Tom Cua (Seafood Vietnamese Udon Soup) and Bun Vit Sao Mang (Duck Bamboo Noodle Soup.) Both of the broths tasted a bit too light for our liking, but the portion sizes left us quite full! Would love to try their Bun Cha Ha Noi next time :)

I been here multiple times and really love the foods and services except for the last time gave me a unsatisfied experienced! A female waitress was being very unprofessional or not well trained. I asked for more broth for the "pha lau" coz I would like an extra noodle and more broth and she immediately said no, she cannot give me more broth because that's how the portion being serve like that. I could only get extra noodle, and whatever they gave me on the broth that's what I have, she can't give me extra! I didn't mind to pay extra for the noodle and broth and her answer was throwing me off about what she said unprofessionally and that they can't satisfy the customer! Also, asking for more broth isn't something they don't have or can't offer whether it's with charge or complimentary and her answer was very unprofessional! I pay for the foods, I didn't beg for one or eat for free, so it was very unprofessional of her to not given the customer the extra stuffs that they asked for. If u need to charge extra then simply inform the customer that it will be an extra charge of $1-$2 which I think it's ridiculous having to pay for it cos non of the restaurant I been to ever gave me a problem of asking for extra broth cos what they did was to just write in the order form "add extra broth", simple as that! This is the first time I experienced this and it was a very unsatisfied weird experienced! I asked to speak to a manager and there was none there on that day! I hope management considering re-train ur staff as this will sure make u loose customer for having an unprofessional staff!

I love a noodle spot that opens early. I stopped by DK for a morning noodle craving. The service was attentive, kind and it's really cozy and clean inside. It's really hard some good Bánh Canh (Vietnamese Udon), so I had to try it. Temperature was hot, the tapioca noodles were perfectly done and chewy and the meat and fish cake were all delicious and tender. Would def go back and looking forward to trying their Bún Riêu.

Came back again for their banh canh and it's still really good from the last time I remember. I honestly think it's better than mai phung now and they're known for banh canh too. I feel like dk crab and shrimp are a lot bigger . Definitely will recommend this place to my friends

I love the canh bun cua dong here. It is yummy. The extra oc is delicious. They gave a lot of rau for bo la lop

My wife was craving Canh Bun. We were going to head to Quan Bun Co Giao Thao or Sao Bien but we decided to try this place. I ordered bun rieu and my wife got Canh bun. I ordered extra stir fried snails but they said they sold out for the day. That's when I knew they were good. I have to say the food were very good. Super good canh bun and bun rieu. Definitely became our top spot! Highly recommend Canh Bun and Bun Rieu lovers to try this place! We will be back!

DK Cuisine is a hidden gem that I stumbled upon recently, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I stepped in, I was welcomed by a clean and inviting atmosphere. The bánh canh I ordered was simply outstanding - flavorful and satisfying. It comes with fried chinese donuts, which was a bonus. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. My drink, passion fruit, perfectly complemented the meal, and I left feeling truly satisfied. If you're in the mood for some excellent Vietnamese cuisine in a cozy setting, this place is definitely worth a visit!

We ordered 4 orange juice, then they said they only had enough for 2. The drinks came out unbelievably full of ice, that you could hardly put the straw through. They could just say they only had enough portion for 1 cup instead of trying to fill the two cups with ice like that. The service was good overall.

Recommdended dishes: Cơm gà Hải Nam, Bún Chả, canh bún and Phá Lấu Drinks: either trà đá or passion fruit tea

Arrived a bit before lunch to beat the crowd in the parking lot. Banh Canh Tom Cua ($14) - at first glance, the bright orange of the soup was a bit eye raising and the size of the bowl was smaller than a pho bowl. The thick broth was light in seafood flavor, not fishy at all. So much seafood for the size of the bowl. My favorite was the black pepper fish cake. The udon was soft yet chewy. Would order again during winter.

A low key restaurant kind of tucked away. The service was friendly although slow, given the restaurant was not that full. The bun rieu is not the style I grew up eating - I'm used to a lot of ground pork/crab chunks whereas this was a pretty clear broth with well formed meatballs. The format didn't bother me much but unfortunately I felt pretty skimped on the protein compared to how loaded bun rieu usually is. I also found the broth not as rich in flavor as I'm used to and how I prefer. I chose to order it with the snail add on, but they literally handed me a small platter of snail. The seasoning was strong and salty and didn't match the flavor of bun rieu at all. It was such a random and unmatching addition that I'm not sure why it was there as an add-on option for my soup. Overall it was a mediocre experience which unfortunately pales in comparison to the multitude of other Vietnamese cuisine in the area

I came here cause my wife loves Banh canh cua. It's pretty good and the broth isn't overly salty. The bun Bo hue was okay. Your food comes out quick and a decent place for viet food outside of the typical pho.

My blood is boiling as I'm still waiting fir a simple bun rieu, they should have done my order it's ready made for Pete sake, they took care of a guy w 30 items. Last time I was here I got the chitling soup they recommended, it was chewy n not edible, I'll update after I get my bun rieu. A 30minutes wait is not acceptable.

Recently tried this restaurant out after seeing many good reviews about their banh canh. Like someone mentioned in their review here, it looks better than it really tastes. It's not bad, it's just okay. Broth was okay, nothing special, and it needs to be served hotter, temperature-wise. I do not like my soup lukewarm so I sent it back to the kitchen to heat it up. Noodles aren't as chewy as I expected. Shrimp tasted a bit funny (fishy). Fish cake was very good though.

Service was good, food was good. No complaints! I got a jasmine tea w lychee which fell on the sweet side but still good.

The Hanoi bun cha here has never disappointed me, the seasoning is just right, the meat is fresh and not dry, there are plenty of fresh green vegetables, if you like this dish, try it here.

Having now gotten takeout 2x from here, this is my new GO TO FOR BANH CANH 5 stars for the banh canh, 3 stars/avg bun rieu The interior is very casual quaint and cozy, would make a lovely spot to eat in. The banh canh is on the more starchy side so the broth sticks more to the noodles. The flavor is excellent; the ratio of broth to the goods is appropriate. The bun rieu itself is lacking . It's missing something to give it that punch of flavor. There are better places for your bun rieu. Takeout is well-packaged Bottom line : pass on the bun rieu; say multiple hellos to the Banh Canh

The best Banh Canh Tom Cua Thit Trung Cut in town!!! For only $13.99, you get so much to eat! There are quail eggs, pork, shrimp, crab, fish cake, fried onions, green onions, cilantro, udon, and mushrooms. The presentation of the bowl is beautiful. The flavor of the broth is absolutely delicious! The customer service is super friendly and attentive. Overall, you will see me coming back for sure! I can't wait to try the other food items and drinks. Fresh food guaranteed at a great price!

4 stars There is one truth when it comes to the Banh Canh Cua, a seafood noodle dish, which is the fact that it is rarely offered in southern California. It is hard to find and, once found, it isn't always great. Decent and tasty, but not great. This restaurant offers Banh Canh Cua, but I think the soup doesn't have enough crab flavor. The noodles are fantastic! Almost like they made it fresh, but I'm not sure... Overall, still a very good find and the service is nice. The ladies are friendly and restaurant has plenty of seats. There is free parking in the plaza lot. No complaints here.

Came here with my sister for lunch last month after seeing a tik tok on this spot and usually when i get Vietnamese food it's mostly pho or spring rolls so getting to try this udon noodle soup dish was a pretty nice change. The broth was really new to me but very delicious. The girls taking care of us were also really helpful. We also got a side of Chinese breadsticks to have with our soup. The restaurant itself is definitely a locals spot and has a decent amount of seating.

Ordered from this place via DoorDash and they made a mistake on our order: 1) we asked for Vietnamese coffee, they gave us some type of passion fruit juice or tea instead. 2) banh canh tom cua - flavor is ok, nice fish cake, chewy udon 3) bun Bo hue - husband said it's just ok, not as good as Tam Bien's version

I got he banh canh cua, the flavors are nice stronger than another restaurant I tried. I don't know what food banh canh cua tastes like admittedly. However, I requested no cilantro but still ended up getting cilantro in my bowl. Overall I'd get

My review is mixed on this place. This restaurant is pretty small, although it is clean and modern. Service was NON-EXISTENT. We were sitting for a very long time before anyone came to take our order. We ordered a Banh Canh since that seemed to be what they were known for, a Bun Cha Hanoi and Cha Gio. Banh Canh was terrible. I give that dish zero stars. Broth was luke warm, probably because the scoop of crab meat they threw in there was COLD. It was bland and lackluster. This bowl was nothing worth 16 99. The Cha Gio was decent, and the Bun Cha was actually really good. We were not served any water, nor were we asked. No one ever came to check on us or walked by. The whole experience was bittersweet. I'd come back for the Bun Cha if I really had a craving for it.

Went here based on Yelp reviews I read and it did not disappoint. It is conveniently located on Bolsa in a shopping plaza w plenty of well lighted parking. The restaurant is not that big nor too small but it is clean and well decorated. I ordered the bamboo and duck noodle soup which came with a shredded cabbage salad and plenty of ginger fish sauce concoction to dip the tender and fatty duck in. I asked for extra bamboo which was a good move. I also had their butterfly lemonade drink with boba. The soup broth was fragrant and not sugary sweet like other restaurants which I prefer. Service was good and swift. I got my to gos too. A bún chả Hà Nội, à bún canh riêu đồng and à bánh canh tôm thịt. Just enjoyed the bún chả Hà Nội ấy home for lunch the next day which is CNY day! Everything I've eaten has been very tasty and fresh with generous portions. I will enjoy the other two noodle soups tonight and lunch tomorrow. What a great weekend to eat well and have no shopping and cooking to do! Highly recommend DK's to you all! Sorry I only took pix of the duck bamboo soup.

Do an lau, phuc vu qua te , de khach doi hon 30 phut ... lam nham order . Service so terrible

The best banh canh in OC. We discovered this place and haven't looked back. The noodles are perfectly chewy and there's so much meat and seafood with your order. So worth the value. Definitely recommend for banh canh!

Finally a decent, much needed Viet restaurant that serves core menu items well. We had "bun cha" and 1-2 other soupy dishes here, and each was made to perfection in taste, cleanliness, and presentation (even for the takeout items). The only thing is that their proportions still need to be rescaled just a tiny bit among broth, herbs, and proteins. Small place but quite clean inside out and fast service!

The duck noodle soup with salad is what dreams are MADE OF. Decently priced for the joy of some of these dishes. $12-16 ============================== Mi viet tiem (Duck noodle soup) ETHEREAL. The broth is nice and rich, but still light and smacks you in the face with flavor. The salad that it comes with is so delicious and humongous. Fish sauce I prefer here rather than pho ga hai van, as it is less sweet and syrupy. Banh canh definitely solid! I do feel like I've had better, but it's def not a bad dish. I also like my broth thicker and more seafood flavor. Bun Cha ca vermicelli with pork patties and pork belly in a sweetened fish sauce. You need to eat this with the pickles!! This was enjoyable and lots of veggies are given Bun bo hue I'm actually not a huge fan of bbh for whatever reason, but I really liked theirs!! The steamed pork that they use in their dishes are AMAZING. Mien ga Not fantastic, but will fit the bill (of a chicken lol) Super solid place with plenty of Vietnamese dishes!! Come support if you want a happy tummy.

This is the definition of a hole in the wall, authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Though a small menu, I think they focus on their food craft pretty well. We ordered banh canh with chao quay and bun rieu with snails. Both had delicious broths though I'd say I like the bun rieu a bit more. Perfect for a cold or hot day. The restaurant itself is modernized somewhat in the middle of a very jenky strip mall plaza. Service was great - the waitress was very nice and food came quickly. I would definitely come back again!!

They offer catering now!! The food quality is very solid. Price is around 50-60$/ tray depending on the items. They use fresh and high quality ingredients. Our favorite dishes are crab soup (soup mang cua), beef wrapped in betel leaves ( Bo la lot), and taro salad ( goi khoai môn). The chicken curry is very tasty as well.

Quality food, nice ambience, and great service. Get the Chinese donuts with this dish! They're flaky and delicious when you put them in the soup.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place before. My favorite 2 dishes here are the banh canh and the bun cha. My mom makes great banh canh so I have super high standards for banh canh. DK's version is rich and flavorful. Bún Chả has a nice char to their grilled meats. Everything I've eaten here has been really good. Super solid Vietnamese food.

The food here is amazing, no doubt. But the service here was terrible. In our party, we ordered a bún chả Hanoi and Bo La Lot. The server taking our order said the Bo La Lot will take a while to make. She estimated about 20 mins. I said that's no problem. I ordered a Peach ice tea. Mins later, the mug was literally slammed onto my table and it startled me. The server walked away. A few groups were seated after us as we waited for our orders. 20 mins later, my Bo la lot came out but not the bún chả. I had to remind the server about our order and it seemed they gave the bún chả order to another table. That's probably what all the commotion was about in the kitchen. About 35 mins in, I noticed the surrounding tables who had arrived after us had completed their meals and left. Next thing you know, the bún chả finally came out. No apology from the server. 35 min wait for some grilled pork and noodles. Tasty and delicious, yes, but I didn't think it would take that long. Especially when tables who ordered after us had gotten their meals and left before we got our food!

The banh banh is not as good as it looks on here unfortunately. The food is all mid. Wish it was better. The donuts were good though.

I am constantly looking for places with a good banh canh cua, not many places even sell it or make it well. I saw pretty good reviews about this place and decided to try it out. The banh canh was veeeery good, tons of toppings and great flavor. I can't say its the best i've ever had, but it was good and I would come back when craving it again!

Awesome place for banh canh with friendly service! There is one option of banh canh at this place which comes with crab, shrimp, pork, quail eggs, fish cake and thick noodles. Since I didn't eat pork, they were so kind to substitute it with more quail eggs. The noodles are soft, chewy and fresh while the broth was hearty and flavorful. I also ordered a side of Chinese donuts which were very crispy and paired very well with the broth which softens it while maintaining a nice crisp. The restaurant has a cute set up and is well maintained. There is a good amount of parking in the plaza and also parking is available on the connecting plaza over.

It's a small shop but very clean, ordered a bun rieu cua with snails. 10/10 would recommend. They gave a heavy amount of bun, broth is flavorful. Definitely will come back whenever I crave for bun rieu oc

Fists time I came to the restaurant,the food was delicious,bún riêu cua so good,very clean,good service, will be back soon and recommend for everyone to come in!

9:57 am Sat 4 Nov. Plaza has some nice covered parking. I enjoyed the $15.50 Beef Organ Stew with baguette and tamarind sauce, fresh crushed chili. $1.50 can Diet Coke. Good deal with friendly staff.

Banh canh tôm cua for the winnnnnn! DK Cuisine is THE spot for a flavor explosion that'll transport you straight to Vietnam into my great aunts kitchen! From the moment you walk in, the cozy vibes and the friendliest staff make you feel like family. Now, let's talk about their showstopper - the Bursting Crab Shrimp Noodle Soup (Banh canh tôm cua) It's not just a dish; it's a culinary rollercoaster of euphoria. The broth, a savory symphony, perfectly complements the texture of fresh crab and shrimp paired with homemade fresh noodles. Every spoonful is a burst of flavor that takes you on a wild ride of delicious nostalgia. The portions? Spot on. The prices? Totally reasonable for the flavor party happening in your mouth. And let's not forget the amazing folks at DK Cuisine - their passion for good food and warm service is impeccable taking me back to the motherland down memory lane. If you're craving homemade magic, run, don't walk, to DK Cuisine. This place is a comfort soothing to the soul, and that Bursting Crab Shrimp Noodle Soup is the crown jewel. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Place is great! what I got: Bun Rieu 10/10 packed with flavor and Banh Canh Cua 10/10 very delicious especially with the chinese donut this is my new favorite spot for vietnamese food!

Oh wow I'm so surprised. I finally just tried this place! I'm always looking for a good banh canh spot. I really enjoyed their soup here, it's nice and thick full of flavor and toppings (crab!!) It had the perfect balance. I also got to try some of the Bun Bo Hue, which I thought was good too. Seems like they have a few solid dishes here, I'll definitely buy it back to try the others. It's a small little restaurant, very clean inside. Service was excellent.

The food is very good and healthy. We ordered vegetarian noodles with egg rolls, spring rolls and steamed cat fish. The flavors are mild yet deliciously flavored. Service is poor as the staff is not friendly, borderline rude or less attentive our food was a different times instead of asking how we wanted it served. I told them, they should be more friendly. The ambiance is just okay.

The bún chả hà nội is very delicious but somewhat pricey, and the portion of noodles is quite small. Additionally, they charge you more if you ask for extra.

Service: it's Bolsa area so you can't expect much. As such, I didn't get lemon with my water like I requested, it's the little things but yeah no biggie. But I didn't get lime with my Banh Canh Tom Cua Thit Trung Cut. I mean, if they brought it out with my water, then it would have been fine. But for a restaurant being known for their Banh canh and not automatically providing lime, I mean, it should be a given. So that sort of bothered me. When I stood up to request the lime, I only got 1 wedge of lime as well...felt a bit stingy. I didn't wanna ask for another one even though I felt like I needed one more, because I was a little extra earlier with asking to substitute out fish cake for something else. At first I settled on shrimp at the waitress's suggestion, but then I saw they have bun rieu so they *must* have oc (escargot). When I asked to change it, another waitress got in the way trying to figure out what I wanted so I felt somewhat embarrassed trying to explain as there was the language barrier with my broken Vietlish. Luckily my original waitress finally explained/translated what I was trying to say to the other & they allowed that substitution & ordered it for me. Oh and at first my waitress tried telling me they don't have oc/escargot here...which is why I brought up "but you have bun rieu" (so you must have it) & that's why it got the other waitress confused in our conversation. Food: Anyways, the Banh canh isn't as good as it used to be when I had it when it used to be DK's Kitchen in the AA asian supermarket on Harbor/GG Blvd The soup was very thick, very similar to Sup Cua (crab soup) except it barely had any crab flavor, like another review mentioned. I got pretty tired of eating it pretty quick between the tapioca noodles, which was soft and chewy, and the thick starchiness of the soup. So it didn't have a complex enough flavor profile for me to fully enjoy it. I liked that it had fried/browned onion bits throughout and my little bit of lime (squeezed the entire wedge) helped cut through all that starch (but again, definitely needed more), but other than that, the flavor was just eh. Average. The pork or thit whatever it is was really reallly dry too and cut too large for my preference. And the fresh crushed chili provided on the table was not nearly as spicy as Mai Phung's. I had to put in small drops of it, like 3-4 times & it still wasn't spicy. I'm so glad that they let me sub in óc/escargot, otherwise it was barely seafood soup. Also the crab was just some minced white bits that didn't look fresh at all. The mushroom in it felt like it was from a regular grocery store & not restaurant - banh-canh-matching mushroom. The trung or egg was hard boiled which isn't my fave, I would have liked if I could have requested the egg barely dropped in like raw after the dish is done (so the hotness of the soup would just cook it), but that's probably never gonna happen at a traditional style Vietnamese restaurant where it's probably already hard boiled in advance or something. Anywayssss, I'm like being all technical rn. (Also the egg dropped at the end would have really made it sup cua-y, yum) But yeah, I'm gonna have to go back to Mai Phung for my banh canh cravingss It was $13.99 for banh canh, with tax comes out to $15.21. Not bad Ambiance: chill Viet pop music started playing halfway in. And it was average in noise level. I sat in the back by the restroom and entrance to the kitchen though and could hear the kitchen staff/ the waitresses talking kind of loudly. But it's cool, I'm there to jus enjoy home-style made Vietnamese food.

This place was pretty tasty! I had my dog with us so we weren't able to eat indoors as it's a storefront with only indoor seating. There's a couple of tables around the corner of the plaza so we sat there. We got the Banh canh and the bun Bo hue. Both were pretty good! The Banh Canh broth was a bit more thick than others I've had before so that was interesting to me. I loved the variety of items they have in it, like fish cake, crab, mushroom, and more!! Also the noodle consistency was so yummyyy. The broth was also good, pretty light but good. The Bun Bo Hue is just average, it wasn't the best that we've had before. The broth was not as flavorful as expected. Overall still a great experience! seems like a solid place to get Banh Canh.

Great new spot because it's not crowded and the food is actually pretty high quality! I highly recommend getting any dishes that has their fish cakes Came here on a cold 58 degree weather evening and got to try three of their hot soup dishes: banh cành (udon), bún riêu, and bún đà nẵng. The bánh canh broth was thick and flavor, and filled with lots of proteins unlike other places that skimp out. It also has an option to come with their Chinese donut bread. Even if you don't order the bánh canh, make sure you order the Chinese donut bread! It's crispy and hot, and so delicious. The other two dishes were noteworthy too. I actually ordered the bạnh canh, and got to try other's bowls. I would come back and get the bun Đà Nẵng next time. The brother is very unique, flavorful, and not too heavy. Extra plus is that this place is right next to Che Hien Khánh, so perfect to stop by for dessert! #iykyk

I ordered take out on a weekday morning and the food was ready when I came to pick up. Parking can be tough during the weekend since this restaurant located in a busy corner with many other restaurants. I liked how they pack the food very well. I ordered the udon noodle, duck soup and chicken Hai Nan rice. The food was good however not the best.

Food here use to be good, now they got more customers it seen like the food does not taste anymore and they don't grill there meat and they don't use good meat anymore. I come back a few time to see if they change but I guess this is my last time.
