Quán Hỷ Restaurant

Wow! What a hidden gem Quan Hy is! I recently dined here, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience from start to finish. - Delicious Mi Quan: The Mi Quan that I ordered was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and satisfying, making it one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. - Great Vegetarian Options: My husband is a vegetarian, which can sometimes make dining out a bit challenging. However, he ordered the vegetarian Mi Quan and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. It’s great to find a place that caters to diverse dietary needs without compromising on flavor. - Wonderful Atmosphere: The ambiance and atmosphere at Quan Hy are fantastic. It’s cozy and inviting, which added to our overall enjoyment of the meal. The service was also exceptional, with attentive staff who made us feel welcome. - Menu Temptations: I found myself wishing I could order everything on the menu just to try it all out! There are so many enticing options that I can’t wait to explore on our next visit. Overall, we will definitely be coming back the next time we’re in town to try more items. If you’re looking for a delicious meal in a warm and inviting setting, Quan Hy is the place to be! Highly recommended!

Very Authentic! Not the typical Pho restaurant with a focus on pho noodles Plenty of selection, would be better if the server had a bit more English speaking or more organized when doing the order and bill splitting - otherwise a great place to try.

Good food for vegetarians. Good flavors and portions. Price is good. One negative, is that they prefer you pay cash for high bill, due to merchant fees.

I just here for Bánh Beo and Mi Quang are their specialty but they are sooooo bad I won’t recommend this place I used to love their foods but no more I please avoid it if you can

We were welcomed with warm smiles on a Wednesday morning. The staff were attentive with our party. We ordered mi quang, banh canh cua tom, and bun bo hue. Every soup had their specialty flavors and uniqueness. I am absolutely in awe with their homemade chewy banh canh noodles. You can tell it is made with love and warmth. 10/10 will be back soon!

I can see this restaurant getting busy. Luckily when we went, there was seating right away! We got the staple (#1 on the menu) Banh Beo. Made really well, flavors are good, the sauce it comes with is good but it actually tasted better with the nuoc cham sauce that came with eggrolls. Eggrolls (#9 on the menu) were very tasty! Came with the perfect leafy greens and leafy herbs. Wish the fry on them was crispier though. And we also got the Banh It Ram (#6 on the menu) which again tasted better with the nuoc cham sauce because the sauce it came with was the same as the Banh Beo. If you like the mochi chewy texture with crispy edges, you’ll like these! The filling was really good, definitely could’ve used more. And we tried the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. Just okay. They jam pack it too much with ice so you barely really even get any coffee. I also go the Pandan Vietnamese Coffee at the end (that menu was only seen at the cash register desk area) it wasn’t on the regular menu. This one was really good. Would order again! Service was really great! Everyone was very nice. Very helpful. Didn’t rush us. Checked in on us. Super sweet with providing what we needed for our togo stuff too! Parking is a super busy free parking lot.

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! Of course come here for the banh Beo. Their noodle dishes are great too, well known for Bun Bo Que and banh canh. They also have solid drinks Vietnamese iced coffee and coconut juice. It’s your typical Vietnamese service though, so don’t expect much in that department. I called to make a reservation in advance and that didn’t go smoothly. When we showed up the lady was just so confused. Ended up having to put our name down on a wait list but it was ok, not much of a wait anyway! I have so many bad words for the parking. So crowded and of course we went on a Saturday. Wait staff we had to flag down several times for the basics like utensils and dishes. But the food more than makes up for it!!! The decor is higher end than your average hole in the wall spot. It looks nice inside, with a pond and fish tank. Clean and modern looking. Sanitary. Lol!

First time trying this Vietnamese food restaurant, it is okay, not wow and not yuck. Staff are not attentive, but they do bring the food out fast once you order. It didn't stand out that much that I would return. It was pricey for smaller portions and not much pictures on the menu to know exactly what to get. The noodle soups are more likely their specialty, so lean towards that and it has veterinarian options. Parking is free and easy.

Ordered Banh it ram Mi Quang Dac Biet Banh Beo Xoi GA Quan Hy Sua dau banh cold and Fresh nuoc dua!! So delicious I would definitely come back.

Food was ok. The portion was a bit small and price is a bit more expensive. The bun Bo hue was a bit bland but the banh beo was great. I would only come back on special occasions based on the price. The service was fast and great tho!

I love their Mi Quang so much that I literally go every time I'm visiting SoCal - even if it's inconvenient!! I have never been able to find a restaurant that serves Mi Quang at this level after moving to Texas and it haunts me in my sleep. If you love savory seafood flavors, you absolutely must try this dish -- it is one of my favorite things to eat EVER.

#35 Fire. I'm not sure why I didn't eat this sooner. Would recommend highly. Has all my favorite protein, egg roll, grilled meat, shrimp, and pork patty. Would get again when I'm in the mood $18

This is one of quality and ambiance spot. Known for the small shrimp bun seo plates. Took my family who came to visit here as they don't get such Viet food in their hoods. I love the beef plate as well. Drinks and service is top notch and the quality of food they use is good

Solid joint for Central Vietnamese food. So delicious. I always get the banh beo, an appetizer that's a crowd pleaser. It's not found in most Vietnamese restaurants, and Quan Hy does it spectacularly well. My favorite are the peppers in the sauce that comes with it. I always go for Mi Quang, a dish with a sesame rice cracker, shrimp, pork, veggies and yellow flat noodles. There was a bit of tomato-y broth on the bottom, so you get the best of both worlds. Def a must-try. Service is friendly. You pay up at the counter. The interior is beautiful, with a bridge and small aquarium. Good lighting.

Best banh beo I've ever had. Bun bo hue was not my favorite. I loved their egg rolls how crunchy the skin was. The fish tanks are the perfect distraction for kids too.

Quan Hy Restaurant in Little Saigon is a hidden gem, and even my picky teenage daughters--who normally wouldn't touch anything that isn't a burger or pizza--fell in love with the banh beo (steamed rice cakes). Served in tiny dishes with shrimp and pork floss, they were a hit! While some spots in Bolsa might feel like you're taking a gamble on both the food and the plumbing, Quan Hy is clean, friendly, and absolutely the place to bring your non-Vietnamese friends who are curious about real Vietnamese cuisine without worrying if the place passed inspection. I give this place a solid 4/5 stars.

ordered the bun bo hue here and i enjoyed it! the dish comes with a very generous serving of meat, i wasn't even able to finish! service was also quick and food came out super fast (within 5 minutes).

I've come here repeatedly for friends that want "unique Vietnamese food" (eg beyond pho, banh mi, vermicelli). Cute atmosphere, lots of fish tanks + hasn't ever been crowded on the weeknights I've gone. Service is medium speed, not the fastest Vietnamese place I've been to. Super vast menu, but here's some of the dishes I've tried: - banh beo: simple and lovely. The rice cake is super chewy and the sweet fish sauce is perfect to pour on top. Great for sharing - mi quang: came with jellyfish which I'd never tried. Delicious combination of different toppings, and the chewy egg noodles were perfectly cooked. The broth was not too salty but needed minimal add ins. Pretty light too for a big dish!

Bun bo hue !!!! Wow the best I have ever had. Service is top notch. Everyone very friendly. Very clean restaurant. I can't wait to come back to try more items.

Mi Quang is a popular dish here and it did not disappoint! They also have great banh beo! The restaurant is l super clean and they've got great service. This restaurant is located in a busy plaza, but also in a great location. You can walk over to bake & che for dessert after a good meal or across the street for other traditional Vietnamese desserts.

Quan Hy is one of Little Saigon's long time gems located on Bolsa Avenue, known for Central Vietnamese (Hue) cuisine. They add a little bit of a modern flare to some dishes and a zen atmosphere throughout their restaurant. I've been coming here as a little girl, and I've always loved their Banh Beo, which are steamed shrimp rice cakes served with scallions and a drizzle of sweet spicy fish sauce. I still adore these little cakes to this day. It's been a little bit since I've visited, but being my aunt's favorite restaurant, I've been frequenting again! Recently, I've tried their #21. Bun Bo Hue Dac Biet (#21. a spicy pork hock/beef shank noodle soup that comes with both, pork and shrimp paste patties) and #43. Mi Quang (a wide turmeric rice noodle in a minimal broth base served with peanuts, rice crackers and stir-fried then simmered, shrimp and pork. These are the usual dishes I generally order upon stepping foot in a Central Vietnamese restaurant, so I know and love these dishes by heart. I think Quan Hy does these dishes well, but they aren't the best I've ever had. The food of Central Vietnam has a lot of zest, spice, deep flavors that are bright and loud. In my opinion, Quan Hy has a more westernized take on these dishes so the volume is turned down just a wee bit. By no means am I saying this a bad thing, just in my personal preference, I prefer the stronger punches on my taste buds. I do have to mention though, I've newly discovered a new Quan Hy and now love. I wouldn't exactly consider it Central Vietnamese Cuisine but I'm currently editing my review and giving them another star for it! I absolutely fell in love with the #47. Com Ca Chien Bo Xa Lach. It is a salmon dish, pan fried in butter, cooked crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside, then served with a delicious umami sauce, a side salad and soup. I plan on eating this hundreds of more times, it is that good! For drinks, I've tried Crème Brûlée Coffee, Coconut Coffee, Kumquat Sugar Cane Juice, and Soda Chanh Muoi ~ a preserved pickle-y lemonade mixed in with soda water. The Soda Chanh Muoi I dig, the rest aren't too buzz-worthy. Service is very efficient yet friendly, staff are very nice and attentive. Price range per person for an entree and a drink is going to be about $20. Not shabby for current times. Quan Hy, although not always my go-to first pick, it is definitely worth trying and revisiting every so often!

Came here after archery and got the mi quang. It was super flavorful and had a lot of stuff. Would definitely come back.

Amazing decoration and indoor seating area. Lots of selection for vietnamese comfort food, unique dishes. I just would not go out to eat viet food when i have it at home. Good, nice service!

4.85 stars I really like this place and recommend to me by my Vietnamese friends and when my GF visited Cali from Vietnam, we ate here twice; so that in itself is validation. This cuisine is reflective of central Vietnam cooking FYI. So this review is in two parts: food review and then followed by instructions. Food review i've been coming here since 2016 and it's always been consistently good. -They don't skimp on the beef or the tendon -The broth is amazing, but when you add their chili sauce and the aromatics (both are a must) then it becomes this amazingly flavorful spicy sweet crunchy combination that is just a celebration of the palette! - the appetizer is always awesome and especially the accompanying fish sauce is savory and mild but the perfect combination to the rice noodle base Instructions for newbies For the appetizer: Order #1 First, With your spoon, add fish sauce to the top1- 4 spoonfuls depending on your preference Second, scrape the bottom of the dish with the spoon because what you are doing is basically separating the rice noodle that's stuck to the bottom of the dish Third, with your spoon cut noodle in half, you can try and flip it over and stuff it all on your mouth, but it ends up being quite a mess instead. Try simply eating at half time. For the entree Oder the Bun Bo Hue Order the number 16 I believe If you're new to ethnic cooking, I'm giving you a heads up that there are tendons and a pig foot in the bottom of this noodle dish When the food arrives, add the aromatics, I'm not a big bean sprout fan, but that's your option. And dump the entire chili sauce into the soup. Stir everything and smell the amazing aromas blending together and then enjoy! If you've got it this far and you're curious why it's 4.85 stars and not five stars, it's because I always order a water here. The one thing I have to say I dislike is that you can always taste the sanitizer in the water that they use to disinfect the cups. Otherwise it would be five stars.

I've been coming here for over 15 years now with my family and now my own little family. I come here for 1 thing only which is the banh beos. Its pretty legit here and I've never ventured out to try anywhere else so basically I come here for the comfortability. I swear there used to be more that came in a tray but I haven't been here in awhile either and finally visited again yesterday. 8 tiny bowls come out on a tray and if you get the sides they offer. It was a bit underwhelming this time and the fish sauce tasted bland and watered down and the pork and shrimp patties were a bit bland. I love how you are able to ask for extra sliced fresh peppers. Parking is chaotic but there's always people in and out quickly.

- Mi Quang 5/5 - a dry egg noodle dish with pork belly, shrimp, lettuce and herbs, and a small amount of broth/sauce. The broth/sauce is strong and fishy but very fragrant. I'd recommend this here to anyone who already loves this dish or for some adventurous foodies looking for a new Vietnamese dish to try. They do it well. - Combo Banh Beo, Banh Quai Vac, and Banh It Ram 5/5 - everything was very good. The dough of the quai vac and it ram are very coconuty and chewy. - Xoi Ga Quan Hy 4.5/5 - fried pieces of coconut sticky rice with bbq chicken and a side of shocker sauce. This is a dish that I can't find much outside of the OC so I always think about this when I'm not in the area. Recommend for picky eaters who like something familiar but like to try something special. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend this place as they have classic Vietnamese foods for the traditionalists but also some more special items for people looking for something special. I love Vietnamese food from the city of Hue and they do it very well here.

My go to for banh canh and banh beo!! This place does get pretty busy on the weekends so I love coming on the weekdays since parking can be hard. Service was great and the owner is so sweet! I definitely need to check out their other location! Thank you!

Banh beo: never went wrong here :-): 5, Xoi Ga Quan Hy: lovely: 5, Com suon ram: 4 Service is efficient. Could use some smiles but I'll give a slack on 'everyone has down day' Place is nice and spacious.

This is my go-to restaurant when I'm in OC. Most of the time I usually just pick up the jackfruit salad...it's my favorite, but today we ate at the restaurant so we ordered their Bánh bèo and Bún. Don't got if the AC was out was today but it was really warm inside so it made the food not as enjoyable. Wish their service was a little better and friendly.

Pretty restaurant, delicious food! Great tray of Banh Beo. Softly-steamed little finger-food rice cakes topped with crumbles of shredded shrimp. I'll always try the Bun Bo Hue. This one doesn't disappoint. The Mi Quang is a great dish - wide yellow noodles with whole shrimp and slices of pork. It's savory and simultaneously on the lighter side. The Goi Mit gets 5 stars and it's worth the one-hour drive. The jackfruit is so refreshing and the mix with pork and shrimp is just so good. If I ever did a food crawl through Little Saigon, the jackfruit salad would be first on the list!

It's been a while since we've been here. They have good dishes on their menu, but the quality of the ingredients, especially the meats, was not good at all. The flavors were good but meat, shrimp, etc tasted very old and just poor quality. We had the bun bo hue and mi quang. Very nice interior and service was also good. No complaints there. They just need to use freshly made ingredients and better quality.

A very popular spot amongst all the other restaurants in Santa Ana. Parking was filled with cars and it might be hard to get a spot. The service was mediocre as an order for the bun cá came very late compared to all the other dishes we ordered. The banh beo was a standout dish however and the fish sauce was simple but complimented the banh very well. The chả lacked flavor and not even the fish sauce could redeem it. Might come back solely for the banh beo but other than that, not really worth a visit.

I don't give 5 stars very often, buuuuuutt I loved this place! We have gone to Da Vien, which is around the corner from this place, and honesty we never went in because we could not figure out the damn name of the restaurant! It's literally in this script that is impossible to read! Somehow my hubby figured it out, and then w 3.5 stars we decided to try it out. And once we opened the doors we realized it was a good call - the place was cute, clean, modern, and bustling! Bustling w other Asians = it's gotta be good! And yes it didn't disappoint- everything we got was delicious! We got the lil pancakes appetizer and then a bunch of noodle soups, including the popular one with the yellow noodles. All was really great! Great ambiance, everything fresh and tasty, decent price = 5 stars in my book!

Service lousy. One server so she can only do so much. Host guy not very friendly nor helpful on meal questions or accommodations. Food mediocre and flavorless. Took 5 min to serve us main bowls. Sounds not very fresh that fast. Rice appetizers were out in two minutes. Got two dried bowls. Noodles sticky and only warm not hot. Salad tasteless, meal tasteless, shrimp tasteless no seasoning, meat had some sweetness but fatty. Rice cake appetizer was ok but don't let it get cold or it's lousy. We waited for a server or the only server to ask a question on a meal already delivered and all our food just got cold waiting. Two thumbs down. Went here years back on a visit to CA thought it'd be same, disappointing. I'll never bother to go back. And next morning, huge stomach ache, diarrhea. Hope not food poisoning. I'd guess the raw ingredients or shrimp.

Bun Bo hue was delicious! I like that they had a lot of mints, herbs and vegetables on the side.

We ordered 1 Goi Hen, 1 Mi Quang, Bun Bộ Huế and Bánh Bèo. The Goi Hến was extremely salty and very little clams with a lot of banana blossoms. In terms of flavor and seasoning, it's not anything like Hen Xuc Bánh Tráng. Also, the Mi Quang was salty and the broth was quite oily tasting with a very very strong scent of turmeric. If you're not a fan of turmeric , don't get this dish. They dip the noodles in turmeric to make it yellow but I think they also added it to the broth because it tasted very strong. Family members who ate Bun Bo Hue said it was okay. The star of the meal was the bánh bèo. They used fresh shrimp which was chopped up. They bánh bèo was a bit chewy which I really liked. I would come here again to get the bánh bèo.

It's been awhile since our last visit. The bun bo hue is still good. They still got one of our orders wrong. And this time there were just three of us. But the server knew it was wrong and quickly corrected it.

Delicious! Our Vietnamese friend ordered some of their signature dishes for us and they were all delicious. Parking easy, very busy restaurant even on a weekday.

Came at 1pm on a Wednesday it was only 10% full Plenty of parking outside Got sat down very quickly Ordered the 1) Bánh bèo 19) Bún bò Huẽ and (29 Bún tôm thit nuóng chá gió They were playing Christmas music and had some decorations up Very clean and quiet in here Banh beo was hot, delicious and very tasty Everything was great Great flavors

The food is pretty consistently good here... which I can't say the same for the service! If you like traditional Vietnamese food-- give this restaurant a tey! They also have pretty good vegan bum Bo hue ( vegan noodle soup) which is delicious!! A must try !!

These little dishes - Banh Beo is what brings me to this restaurant often. They make it the best! Delectable and savory. You definitely want to order a full tray all to yourself. Their Bun Bo Hue is decent. I pretty much love everything in their appetizer list. They also offer really tasty vegetarian options for all your favorites.

Great spot to visit if you're looking for diverse Vietnamese food to try! I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and their food is always great! The food came out very quick and our server was really nice! The inside is very spacious and pretty quiet when we came on a Friday evening. Our favorites were definitely the banh beo and the banh canh tom cua. The bun bo hue was good but it was a little bit on the saltier side, and the mi quang wasn't our favorite because it was lacking a bit of flavor compared to how we usually like it. Might be just an off day but overall everything was great!

For vegetarians they had a few options. Good food overall but the portions were small. Good service. Clean restrooms with toilet covers. Nice fish tank. Fancy dining area. Prices were decent.

We used to own a restaurant, so we tend to be very picky with our rating. My mom in law was the main chef, so, like any other typical mother in law chef of the household, she's even more picky. And she actually loved all the food here. The taste is very much representative of the Central Vietnam cuisine. Even for me, I'm from Southern Vietnam, and I it really hit me as well. We ordered "My Quang", "Bun Bo Hue", "Com Hen", and a "Goi Mit". Everything was on point. Also, the decor was a plus too.

This place always hits home! I've gone since I was a little kid so this review has been long awaited. My favorite thing to order here is the Banh Beo. Not only is it filling, but it's light and still packed with so much flavor! It is a small portion and also served as an appetizer, so plan your meal accordingly if you're only ordering that. I also got the red bean dessert called Che Dau Do Bot Loc Nuoc Dua. Definitely freshened my taste buds and also wasn't too sweet if you don't have a sweet tooth like me. Service is always so great and fast! Definitely recommend if you're trying to satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings.

Great Vietnamese spot, was busy even on Friday at 2pm. Food came out fast and had great flavors. Bánh ít ram was fresh and so delicious

I love this place!!!! The food itself is great but the service made my entire day. I came here with my mom and brother because I was really craving some banh beo. Sat down and the waiter was super quick to get our orders. Food came out extremely fast too!! Barely had to wait before they were already bringing it out. An order of banh beo comes with eight and I single-handedly destroyed it. Dishes cleaned, spoon licked, banh beo absolutely devoured--but my conquest was far from over. I still hungered for more... and order more I did! We called a waiter over to order another serving of banh beo and she was super sweet about it. Not even 10 minutes later, it got brought out and Lo and behold! An additional TWO! I was blessed by the staff and the kitchen (love you guys) to have been bestowed such an honor. I happily devoured the next 10! I munched and chewed and digested, and by the end of my meal, I was delightfully content. The banh beo here is fire (if you couldn't tell from me eating 18) and the xoi ga is awesome too! All in all awesome amazing vibes (I got to sit next to a fish tank) and I WILL be coming back!

When the owner makes sure you have a good experience, show you how to properly eat the food then you know they care about how they prepare and make their food. The ambiance of the restaurant is fun entertaining. Definitely try this spot out! Ask them about the proper way to make the dipping sauce for the noodle soup dishes.

So disappointed about this restaurant. Hy & Hop is one of my favorite Hue-style restaurants. Yesterday, I and my friend went there for lunch and we ordered 1 tray of Banh Beo chen, 1 Bun Bo Hue ( beef royal noodle soup) and Banh Canh cua ( crab noodles with udon style). We finished the Banh Beo, of course, because only six extra small bowls, and we only ate a couple of spoons of BBH and crab noodles soup. Honestly, it's the worst BBH I've ever eaten in Bolsa. The soup was so cold even though was at noon. The noodles were overcooked. Definitely not come back again. It looks like they have a new owner

I used to love their bun bo hue. Either quality went down or we just make it better at home now. However, their banh beo is really good, a bit on a pricey side though. Quan Hy is definitely one of the clean Vietnamese restaurants. The decorations are nice especially their fish tank so a kid friendly restaurant.

quality food deep chicken with sticky rice no taste bun thịt nuong very good banh it very good banh beo very good waiter at counter was nice no refill water pricey small portion

Our go to when we want to order takeout. Their banh beo is our favorite. Recommended rice dishes: Suong Ram Com tom chay thit nuong Ga roti

Food was 2/5 Service was 0/5 so average to 1/5 Server acted incredibly immature and got angry with us when they got the order wrong twice. After walking off when we told her it was the wrong order, she disappeared, literally threw a fit in the back in front of her coworkers and then dropped off our correct order with an evil ass stare like 10 minutes later. She even canceled our remaining orders and had us wait an additional 15 minutes before another server had to make sure we had everything. Ppl working here really have to work on their people skills since it's a people facing job and not act entitled and bratty af lol

I think this is the best banh beo I've ever had! The fresh shrimp topping with the soft rice cake and spicy fish sauce was delicious. We also ordered the bun bo hue which was good as well, but I wish there was more meat. They put a lot of tendon and it also came with pigs feet. The mi quang was flavorful and had a lot of shrimp. The service was friendly and the restaurant space is very large. Great for families or large parties.

Very good food. Although it was busy for dinner and then only 2 servers, they did a great job and everyone was always taken care of. This is my first time here and I liked everything that we ordered because it was flavorful and not bland nor too salty: - banh beo : fish sauce with cut fresh chilli peppers - bun bo hue : lots of vegetables with a side of chilli oil to make it spicy to your liking - com suon ram : the side of soup was delicious and not just pho broth. The fish sauce has some red chili peppers which gave it just a mild kick. - Vietnamese iced coffee : 3.5/5 stars thoughts of ice and flavor is decent

Quan Hy has been a favorite of ours for a long time. Prior to the pandemic, we were eating here at least once a week. Recently, we had a hankering for Quan Hy as we were visiting the area and decided to do takeout from here. Hubby ordered the com suon ram (grilled spare ribs with rice). They gave a hefty portion of rice, vegetables, as well as soup to complement the meal. The spare ribs were delicious and we absolutely love marinade. However, the spare ribs were extremely oily. It was sitting in a pool of oil, so we had to dab out as much of it as we could. The nuoc mam (fish sauce) for this meal is really good as it had a spicy kick to it. I ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio (vermicelli rice noodles with egg rolls and grilled pork). They were extremely generous with the rice noodles and protein. The eggroll was very savory, nice and crispy. The grilled pork had a nice charring and the flavor was great. The nuoc mam (fish sauce) was a bit sweet but pairs well with everything. The only complaint I have is the protein is also very oily, so proceed with caution. We also shared an order of the banh beo (steamed rice cakes) and a vietnamese coffee. The banh beo was not too good as takeout. It had hardened and was kind of difficult to eat. I definitely prefer to eat that in the restaurant. The vietnamese coffee was very disappointing. It had a burnt aftertaste. I'm not sure why. Overall, our takeout experience was decent. The amount of food they gave us was insane and we could have easily made 4 meals out of items we ordered. However, we personally felt the food tastes better eaten at the restaurant. Also, the amount of oil that they use for the protein is insane. If you prefer to skip the oily foods, we do LOVE the bun bo hue (beef noodle soup) from here. That's a good alternative if you something more light and hearty.

I use to eat here growing up and my favorite dish was banh beo. I recently came back after couple of years, and let me tell you the banh beo was a disappointment! The restaurant is located in a little Saigon..in a big plaza with plenty of neighboring restaurants (that probably tastes better..). I went on a Sunday, it was very hard to find parking. The restaurant was half empty though. As usual this place is very cute. It has a fish tank situated in between the table which leads up to curious (loud) kids yelling back and forth "ooooh wow look at that fish!!". Not the restaurant problem, but I wished they yelled in their parents ear instead of mine . The seatings were also kinda cramp, like the table is so up close to the booster? The table was also very sticky n smells like fish sauce. I ate the banh beo and a side of special egg roll. I also got the ube coffee. Banh Beo 2/5: Absolutely disappointed. The toppings were literally just one chunk of mashed shrimps and a huge chunk of chopped scallion. The mashed shrimp also had no flavors. The fish sauce was not spicy enough and was way too sweet with almost no fish sauce flavor.. wonder how the table smelt more fishy than the sauce itself. The only reason I even gave this dish a 2 is that I like how thin the rice cake is. Special egg roll 3.5/5 The first egg roll was pretty good, but I guess my luck was real good cause every one after that was dog sht. The only thing that saved it was the salad to wrap it with. Ube coffee 4/5: Surprisingly good. Probably because it was a collaboration with an actual coffee place. The ube cream was not too sweet, but I do wish it was thicker and had a stronger ube taste. The coffee was also strong. Okay, everything that I wrote on food is personal preference, but what I did not like about this place is their cleanliness. Please, for the love of god, teach your waiters some cleanly decency. I don't care if you didn't check in on us, but the sights of your finger with dirt stuck between the crevice of your gnarly long nail digging into my food every time you set it down made me url every-time.
