Signature grilled pork spring rolls with plum sauce; fusion tacos
"Another one of Little Saigon’s most popular restaurants, Brodard features a massive menu full of solid Vietnamese dishes, but everyone is here for the nem nuong cuon. Savory and sweet pork sausage, cucumber, lettuce, and crunchy deep-fried bits of rice paper all wrapped inside soft rice paper, this is much more than a spring roll, it’s a revelation. Couple that with the fantastic pork-and-peanut-filled plum sauce that comes on the side for dipping, and you’ll never think of a spring roll the same way again." - Brant Cox
"This timeless restaurant offers a wide array of Vietnamese specialties, starting with 13 types of spring rolls — including the popular grilled shrimp paste with lettuce, carrots, daikon, mint, cilantro, and cucumber wrapped in rice paper. The menu continues with traditional Vietnamese noodle soups, sandwiches, and much more." - Jenn Tanaka
"Our Favorite Dishes: Nem Nuong Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls) Another one of Little Saigon’s most popular restaurants, Brodard features a massive menu full of solid Vietnamese dishes, but everyone is here for the nem nuong cuon. Stuffed with savory and sweet pork sausage, cucumber, lettuce, and crunchy deep-fried bits of rice paper, bound tightly in a soft rice paper wrapping, then dipped in a fantastic pork-and-peanut-filled plum sauce, they’re the most flavorful, texturally complex spring rolls we’ve ever had. They’re also what put Brodard on the map, with good reason." - brant cox
"From sizzling catfish to oxtail pho, much like our unbridled love for Sydney Sweeney, the options for excellent Vietnamese food in Westminster are truly limitless. All you need is a little guidance and a push in the right direction. So, consider this your push - Brodard is one of the most popular restaurants in the area , mostly because of their flavorful, textually complex nem nuong cuon, or grilled pork spring rolls. Filled with sweet sausage, crunchy, deep-fried bits of rice paper, and fresh mint leaves, we’d happily eat this dish every single day, kind of like we were Sisyphus and these spring rolls were our boulder. Available for takeout, call (657) 247-4401 to order or find them on the apps." - kat hong
"Brodard is a longtime Little Saigon go-to for trays of Vietnamese-style spring rolls. The family-owned restaurant is so synonymous with Orange County’s Vietnamese community that it opened a location inside John Wayne Airport. At all Brodard locations, visitors savor Diane Dang’s recipes, which have been beloved in Little Saigon since 1996. The restaurant serves Vietnamese rice and noodle soup dishes, along with pastries and jelly-laden tea drinks. But Brodard is best known for its spring rolls. Nem nuong cuon combines slices of grilled pork wrapped in rice paper with romaine lettuce, cucumber spears, carrots, cilantro, long green chives, daikon, and fresh mint. Another version features pork with tender pink shrimp wrapped with crisp lettuce, cilantro, vermicelli noodles, chives, fresh mint, and mung bean sprouts. Wrapped in the delicate rice paper sheets, the rolls resemble translucent sausages. The signature plum sauce used for dipping brings the flavors together and takes the spring rolls to the next level. People often purchase trays at a time for parties and family gatherings." - Jenn Tanaka
