The Original Bo 7 Mon Thien An Restaurant

First time my husband and I ate at this restaurant. We were in the area for our great nieces christening. The staff were friendly, professional, courteous and helpful. The food was mouth watering and delicious with large portions plenty to share. Highly recommend this location if you’re ever in the area. Tell them Janice sent you.

This Vietnamese restaurant is one of my favorite. The store is nicely decorated and the food is beyond expectations. You can order their combo and try Beef cooked in 7 styles. All the condiments are on the table so you can feel free to mix and create your sauce. Price is so reasonable. Highly recommended!

Bo nuong xa and Bo nuong la lot were tasty with lots of fresh vegetables. This restaurant had very few customers. They had a fire, closed for a while, and just reopened recently. So if you're looking for a good restaurant for the weekend, come before people discover them again.

Enjoyed the 8 course beef dish. Service was efficient and timely. Will come back.

Our family of five love the grilled fish here. Order a large grilled fish, one "bò lá lốt", and one "bò mỡ chài" for a really satisfying dinner for 5-6 adults. Good food and nice services... We keep coming back...

The best Baked Catfish Spring Rolls. The fish ALWAYS comes out fresh and crispy here.

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now. My first trip to Cali, my family and I went here to try the Bo 7 Mon and it was delicious and the portion was good. So good that we went back a few days later. They were generous with the lettuce and whatever you need to make the wraps. However, that experience has changed a lot when my family and I were there recently. First off, the portion was much smaller. The price went up a little bit since a year ago which is understandable because of inflation but I expect the portion to stay similarly the same. The food was still good, not as good as the first time we had but still good. We went on a weekday and there were only 2 tables occupied including ours but the service was a bit slow. We didn’t mind. Good to catch up on things and talk. We had 6 people so tips (18%) were already included in the price. For 18%, we expect better service. The manager or waiter seemed unhappy every time our family asked for more vegetables or asking for more sauce. I had to get up and reminded about the sauce cause we were waiting for more than 5 mins. They were not busy that night and maybe the person with busy with something. One thing to be careful and mindful is that. The person already included the tips in the total cost, we paid using our visa and we had to sign the sheet. The person told us to just sign and leave the tips and total price section alone. I could be wrong but please DO NOT do that. Make sure you fill in everything. Once you leave, the person can write whatever number for the tips and the total and you will find out later that you overpaid. It happened before to a friend of ours and ended up with a huge bill. My finance and I felt that it was really weird he told us that. He could be honest but he could not be. Overall, we were disappointed because we had much better experience before. Just be prepare to pay a bit more than usual because the portion is smaller than before.

Thien An Restaurant has been our family's favorite spot for Baked Catfish and Spring Rolls for as long as I can remember. It's a tradition that predates even my own existence, and while we used to dine in, we now opt for takeout. The recent renovation has transformed the restaurant into a stunning space, but what remains unchanged is the consistently amazing food. It's a true staple for my family, and I'll keep coming back for their delicious offerings for as long as I can. The only drawback is the parking situation, which can be challenging. I'd recommend carpooling if you plan to dine in. On the bright side, they do accept card payments, which adds to the convenience of the overall experience.

When we walked in on a Friday, it was fairly empty. Some customers but not a ton. Cute space, modern and airy with a touch of Vietnamese decor. Onto the food. The catfish was unimpressive. It was dry because they butterfly it. The grill is good. Entire meal came to be about $100. I'd go to bien hein for catfish next time instead.

Liked this location vs brookhurst one. Super clean and modern inside. Felt the bo 7 months portions here was bigger and tastier Everything was yummy i loved the bo nuong vi and the bo la lot. Baked cat fish was delicious and the small size was pretty big Service was good they checked on us often Restrooms were clean I would definitely come here again

Thien An has been my mom's favorite restaurant since I was a boy. Even though we're such a long drive from the restaurant, my mom insists that I take her here every time. From business deals to celebrations, Thien An has been a part of my family for some time now. We always get the medium order of catfish, as well as my favorite Bò lá lốt. I seriously don't know what they put in there, but gosh, it is so amazing. No other restaurant has been able to replicate that flavor for me, even during my trips to Vietnam itself. The fish is always cooked wonderfully, and it's crispy and moist. The service is pretty hit or miss, but it's a Vietnamese restaurant that caters to an older population, so it's kind of expected at that point.

Ngon lắm! My family and I decided to stop by this location because we heard they just remodeled and it's under new management. We often eat bò 7 món so we're familiar with the flavors. The food was up to standard and everything tasted nice. They brought us all the necessary side dishes, vegetables, and rice paper. The service was a bit lacking considering there were 7 courses to be brought out. We understand, however, since there were only 2 people serving and clearing tables. The interior is much nicer and modern than before. The price is also reasonable and aligns with other bò 7 món locations. Definitely give them a try!

I'm really lazy about writing re-reviews, but I just wanted to say after 8-9 years... my family gave them another chance and we regret doing so. We came by the weekend before Father's Day weekend hoping to avoid the crazy crowd since my dad doesn't like it when things are too busy. We were the first customers through the door and later on, two other groups joined... Three tables is definitely not too much to take care of in this very large restaurant but there was only one person front of house, and he was slowwwwwww AND RUDE. Just to summarize how annoying my visit was... the menus were sticky, the pricing is higher compared to other 7 courses of beef restaurants. The waiter interrupted our ordering and was like that's not enough food... WELL CAUSE WE AREN'T DONE ORDERING. We waited 40-45 minutes until the food came out. So slowwwwwwwww. The sauce jars were cute but it wasn't very useful since the sauce had issues coming out. The veggies were cut really sloppy and not in ratio with the roll. The meat was really stubby too. Overall taste and flavor of the meal was lacking too. I even noted at 12:13 pm - There was a female voice in the back yelling at her dad. Absolute mess of a family business you have here. My dad had to get up to ask for napkins and they guy snapped at him. The other table had to get up and go to the counter to find this same waiter to order. We were pretty over it and we wanted to just get out so we went to pay. He was like no, go sit, there's the porridge. We're like no no just pack it. We want to get out of here. My dad looked at me and said, "1 star? can you give 0 stars?". My mom was like we "made a mistake." I was annoyed years ago and some how IT GOT WORSE. They may have add some modern touches with their interior but the service is far from acceptable. Hard pass.

We are back for grilled catfish, ordered a medium and we ate about 90% of it so it's the right size for 2. They butterfly the fish prior to baking. I don't know by what magic the skin is so shatteringly crisp but they assure me it's not deep fried. When I make the roll, dip the rice paper in the provided container of water, lay it flat then position the lettuce, follow with herbs, then pickled carrots and jicama, then sliced cucumber then the fish. My favorite part is the edges of the butterflied catfish which has the highest crispy bits. Don't bother folding the sides so there is an opening to soak up the dipping sauce. In fact I use the spoon to pour the sauce in. I use the brown sauce which is fermented anchovy-chopped pineapple to which is added sliced lemongrass and chopped chili so it's more solid than liquid, requiring the use of a spoon. As you work your way in towards the spine for the next rolls, look out for bones. Baked catfish is the story of humble ingredients elevated by technique and genius. It's not cheap but the wait is worth it. Thien An is a chain but this location is the best of the bunch. The ambience is simple and contemporary, nice enough to bring your Caucasian friends or a date. Plenty of parking.

Amazing! My friend introduce me to this place and you have to try their beef 6 course meal! It's $28 a set. There's 4 of us and we ordered 3 set. The food is delicious. We wrap the food in the rice paper. I pretty much enjoyed all the dishes. My least favorite was the steamed meat patty thing as it has a little too much onion and stuff in it for me. My favorite was the meat dip in the boiling vinegar and the seasoned beef where we grill on the plate. Service was quick. Servers tells us like it is. Didn't try to update anything and also gave us recommendations. The place was very spacious. Overall I had an amazing time eating here and trying the dishes. Will be back again!

We've been going to this restaurant for years! This review is long overdue lol Went last night with friends. The restaurant is clean, the staff very attentive. Ordered tea and sweet potato fries while waiting for our friends to arrive. Of course we ordered the 7 courses of beef and fried catfish. They're very generous with the condiments, vegetables and vermicelli. Everything was delicious and the catfish which took longer than we expected was WORTH the wait!!! (I guess we were just craving for the delicious catfish lol). It was tasty, moist and very crispy skin!!!!!! Omg! It was so yummy!!!!! Food was so good that we all forgot to take pictures of the food. We just dug in lol Can't wait to back and have some more of their delicious 7 courses of beef and catfish!

The bo 7 mon places have dwindled down to just this one! I used to go to Pagolac, An Hong , and the like back in the day like 1980s and 1990s! This place toggles between old school and striving for modern with its chalkboard drawing of a spring roll construction. We came here on a Monday early dinner like 5pm and only competed with 2 other tables. Still. The older male server could hardly bother with us and our occasional requests (more greens or mam nem, please?) . Or that we are done and waiting for the next course? The parking lot is shared by pretty sketchy bystanders who panhandle. So there's that. I would love to bring some of my foodie friends here at an hour where I don't fear of assault or property damage!

This place has been here for so long and they have remodeled and redesigned it for a while now (before COVID). Floor and things are still sticky...when you pull the chair out use your strength because the legs are stuck to the floor! Nonetheless, food is pretty decent! I had the 7 courses beef here before and it was just alright. I'm not a big fan of the 7 courses because I don't like all the type of dishes in the course. I would rather do a la carte. However, if you come here for ca nuong (their baked catfish), it's pretty good!! They have different sizes for the fish and when you pick a size for the fish, the actual fish comes out might be more or less than what you picked! Usually, it is always more! But, their catfish is pretty crunchy and very flavorful and they provide plenty of greens, sauce, and other things you need! My favorite here is their baked catfish and the bo la lot (grilled beef in special mint leaves), pictured. I like them and I would come here for their baked catfish!

This is a review for the Baked Cat fish TO GO. It was our 1st time ordering To Go. Had a good experience. The gentleman working at the restaurant offered to help assist bring the foil fish trays to our car. Ordered 3 Medium size catfish to go almost $ 62 w tax each. I recalled it's about $ 56.99 for the medium size now. ~ Medium Size Catfish. Lettuce, vegetables, herbs, sauces, vermicelli noodles & rice paper were all provided. Gave plenty Ordering it to go, the catfish was still as crispy. ~Charbroiled grilled beef sausage was $ 22.99 each order, has about 10 pieces. The grilled sausages taste better at the restaurant indeed. It was more flavorful when brought out fresh. 08.19.22

Bò tái chanh is full of lettuce and mints. Where's the beef?? It's extremely sugary sweet. Very strange. Bò tái chanh was decent however.

This review is mainly for the service... I would have to give one star for the terrible attitude and help i got from the waitress. Walking not knowing where to sit was one thing, i asked for a menu and the waitress sighed. But when ordering i was given attitude... i spoke vietnamese to the waitress and she responding with rolling her eyes. Im sorry but its my first time coming here... i had one question but after seeing that, i didnt dare ask my question. Then hearing how nice she was to a huge party compared to taking my order is pretty ruMade me not want to stay and eat but i figured it would be rude to leave. Im giving an extra star because there was a very nice elder gentlemen serving the dishes that was more helpful and smiles. Here is a picture of burnt egg rolls. Cheers. Hopefully that waitress would be nicer to everyone and not select parties. First and last time coming. Food wasnt worth being disrespected.

We always get their signature 7 course beef meal. Quite possibly my favorite restaurant of all time. Everything is seasoned to perfection and the food quality is unmatched. Beef lover's dream come true.

We grew up with Vietnamese friends and got exposed to a lot of interesting food and snacks. For some reason it was within the last decade they showed us the wonder of Bo 7 Mon. It literally means "7 courses of Beef" and if you are a fan of SE Asian flavors and meat this is the one to try. The later courses are better so don't get too full in the beginning. -1: Beef and Shrimp Salad, cold dish with lots of greens. -2: Beef tenderloin Hotpot, you cook it yourself. They'll bring you a small pot of broth heated by a tiny portable flame. -3: Beef marinated with lemongrass, you grill it yourself. -4/5: Charbroiled ground beef sausage and wrapped in betel leaf. Everyone's favorite...super tasty -6: Steamed beef patty, like the inside of a pate chaud but with beef. -7: Beef and alphabet soup The reason my friends like this restaurant is one of the courses comes on a mini grill which not a lot of competition does and they serve an iconic beef alphabet soup as the last course. Their baked whole catfish is almost a must order. The skin is so crispy you can crack it with the back of a spoon and it has almost a lays potato chip consistency, catfish was nice and moist.

My wife and I love 7 courses of beef, but we probably haven't had it since we began dating which was over 10 years ago!! Anyway, I personally haven't been to this location since I was a kid (it's been here FOREVER) and was surprised to discover that it had been remodeled completely. Great news is that the food is still just as good, although pricier obviously. Every item was still just as delicious as I remembered, especially my favorites: the meatballs, the grilled leaf wrapped meats, and the meatloaf thingy with vermicelli in it. I'm salivating just thinking about last night's dinner! My wife and I especially enjoy the alphabet soup at the end. The not-so-salivating part of the meal though were the hairS we found in our food. Yes, plural. My sister unfortunately had to fish out one of the hairs from her mouth...... bleh. In any case, the man helping us was friendly and swapped out the dishes without any pushback. Hopefully that hairy incident was only a one-off. In a way, I kind of miss the old, outdated set-up. It had character, damn it. This new remodel is just like every other lifeless, cookie-cutter decor remodels with its drab, cold gray color palette. Aside from that, I definitely need to make it a point to eat here more than once every decade!

I have been to Thien An several times over the years... they have several locations that are all owned by relatives of the same family. This is the one that I favor the most. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is actually decorated much cuter than the others and has a more modern feel to it. The service is slightly better than what you expect and this place is much cleaner than the others. The food... well, I personally LOVE the food here. They are known for their 7 course beef but their baked catfish is a must. For those who are not familiar, this meal can be a bit overwhelming but is so worth it. The way this meal is eaten is self-assembled at the table. Whether you are doing the 7 course beef or catfish (or both), they come with the same sauces, veggies (lettuce, pickled carrots, bean sprouts, lemongrass, parsley, cucumber and dried bananas) and rice paper. You dip the dry rice paper in the water they provide and as it softens up you add your desired veggies before loading it up with the meat you want and rolling it into your own personal roll. Think vietnamese springroll that you assemble at the table. There is a cute illustration on the wall that provides newcomers with instructions. The 7 course beef comes with... well, 7 courses of different ways beef is prepared. Personally, I do not order the full 7 course meal. I order just the beef that we favor along with the catfish. For our family of 4, we usually order the medium size catfish and 2 orders of the La Lot (grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves). Don't get me wrong, the full 7 course is really good and you should at least try it once. It's just that my family can't decide between the catfish and the beef. The baked catfish is what most of our family enjoys. The fish is nicely marinated and baked to a prefect crisp. Not oily but so super crispy. Warning: they do prepare the fish with peanuts so if you are allergic, you need to let them know as it can be prepared without the peanuts. Hint: there are two dipping sauce that is provided at the table, fish and tamarin. The fish sauce is what most people use but I like to mix half and half. Totally different eating experience so you should try both separately. Hint #2: be patient, the art of wrapping the roll takes time to get it right ... this is a messy but fun and delicious meal if you give it a chance.

I've never heard of seven course beef before. It's a bit overwhelming at first for a newbie. They do have instructions on the wall on what to do. It's basically a meal of spring rolls that you roll yourself. A bit of work if you have kids and you have to roll for them. But it was worth it and my family and I loved everything. About $26 per person. But you can honestly order less and just add a baked crispy catfish to the meal. We ordered a medium sized catfish and about 3-4 servings of the 7 course meal for a family of 6. First there are dipping sauces you can choose from. There's a brown sauce that has more umami flavor to it, and the typical Vietnamese fish sauce dipping sauce. We all loved and preferred the brown sauce. It's a little sweet, salty & lots of umami. We like to add a little crushed peanuts to it, & a little chili sauce that they provide for you. There are slices of lemongrass if you want to add it. A plate of veggies come out with rice paper and water that you have to soften yourself. 1st course: Shrimp salad was the first to come out. Has some pickled veggies, onions, thin slices of shrimp & beef in a delicious light fish sauce dressing. We loved it so 5 stars for us. 2nd course: beef in vinegar broth. Raw thin slices of beef come out with a little boiling pot of vinegar water. The meat is basically the same rare meat they use in the pho. You boil it then wrap it in the rice osier with all the veggies they provide and dip into the sauce if your choice. Each order comes with 3 thin slices. Mild flavor, 4 stars. 3rd course: same slices of beef but marinated in lemongrass. This time they have a small grill you cook it on. Each order comes with 3 thin slices. Mild taste, 4 stars. (4th, 5th, & 6th course all come out cooked on a plate. You basically do the same and roll them with the rice paper & veggies, then dip. Except for the meatball with crackers) 4th course: charbroiled ground beef sausage. My family & I just call them meatballs. Lol. Moist, and flavorful. So good in the spring roll. 3 pieces come with each order. One of our faves. 5 stars. 5th course: mini ground beef logs wrapped in betel leaves. Yummy. Has nice flavor, so yummy in the spring roll. Comes with 3 pieces. 5 stars. 6th course: steamed ground beef with nuts, spices & they say mushroom. This one you eat with a piece of shrimp chip. I loved this. They don't give you enough shrimp chip because they probably mean for you to wrap the rest. But I love the shrimp chips with it so I had to order more for $5. 5 stars. 7th course: beef and rice soup. Almost like a watery rice soup with a little ground meat, rice, & small alphabet pastas in a light broth. Not the most flavorful thing. But it's a nice ending after all the food. 3 stars. I think 3 or 4 orders is perfect for my group of 6 with the added whole crispy catfish. But if you eat a lot definitely order a full serving per each person. The catfish cost quite a bit. I forget how much, but definitely check with the waiter first. We spent about $200 for everything. So definitely not cheap. But worth it. We've come here twice & the restaurant is always empty every time we go. Which surprises me because it's so delicious. Service was always goo. We will definitely be back many times.

This was my second time here for the seven courses of beef. Both times were amazing! (Only got to capture some pictures, as we quickly indulged as soon as the food came out lol). The seven courses include seven different types of beef dishes, DIY spring rolls, fresh raw veggies, and also an appetizer shrimp salad which was fresh and tasty. We also got (and loved) their jumbo catfish! So crispy that it's unreal lol. They can get really busy on a Sunday night but they tried the best with their service so it's all good (we missed two courses but upon inquiring, they immediately cooked them for us). Haven't try anything else but apparently they also have other items on their menu. Bottomline, would recommend anyone to come try their seven courses of beef and catfish!

Pro Tip: If you intend on getting the catfish at all (even eating at the restaurant) call it in at least 30 minutes prior to coming to the restaurant! It takes a bit longer to prepare because they are trying to cook/prepare it for you. That way, you don't have to wait as long. Also, just know that you aren't limited on trying to order the 7 Course Beef for EACH person. In my experience, ordering one large catfish and 2 of the 7 courses of beef is enough for all of us. This works even better for those who you bring with you to try the Vietnamese style 7 Courses of Beef. Then, if you feel like you need additional meats, then you can order a la carte. What we got: - One LARGE catfish: For a LARGE catfish, it was kind of... medium sized? 100% understand that they are probably accounting inflation. But the size of fish kinda left me... underwhelmed. However, the flavors are there and loved that it came out very swiftly sitting down. - 7 Courses of Beef: Honestly, everything was wonderfully flavored. The various sauces that they provide give that "authentic" feel as well. Just remember, they no longer include the vermicelli noodles, so you would have to order that extra. My favorite would be the grilled beef with the lemongrass. My complaint about this was that they brought out the last course (the soup), WAY WAY too late. As in, we had to remind them at least twice to bring out the last course. By then, we were so stuffed, I felt like it was almost gone to waste. My family and I have been here for years, even prior to the remodel. I love that they have modernized it in a way that it can be easier for others to approach this new style of Vietnamese cuisine.

This is the only Thiên Ân we go to for 7-course of beef and baked cat fish. The food (beef, baked fish, and the fermented fish sauce/mắm nêm) is delicious. The inside is spacious, which is a plus since we're still dealing with Covid. Service can improve. The washroom is too dark, please add more lighting.

Ordered the 8 course beef dish. It was flavorful and satisfying. Service was efficient and timely. Will come back.

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! I came here with a large group of my family on a Sunday night. The place had a large parking lot and the restaurant itself was large albeit pretty empty (2 other groups there) It was hard to get a waiters attention, it seems like they don't bother you until you flag them down. We ordered the Bo 7 mon, catfish (small), extra shrimp, and this beef salad. Bo 7 Mon - did not disappoint, each dish was soooo good. Catfish - tender and the small fed 6 of us! Beef salad - idk what it was called, but wow it was delicious. The vinaigrette they use is to die for. Would totally recommend this place and definitely excited to return!

In my experience, this is the best place to come to for 7 courses of beef and/or baked catfish. Beyond the generous quality and quantity of food, the restaurant is nice, clean, and spacious. Another reviewer mentioned this, but when we know we want to eat here we'll call about half an hour in advance for the catfish. I'd definitely recommend coming by since it's always a treat for my family whenever we have the opportunity to go.

7 Courses 'til Infinity! I can't remember the last time I had 7 Courses of Beef, but it was probably back in college or high school. I could never keep track of all 7 courses but now that I'm a little more fastidious about tracking my meals, I thought I'd give it a shot and do ratings of each course on a 5 star scale, as I've seen other Yelper's do. I present to you... Marc L.'s 7 Courses 'til Infinity! Course 1 - Beef & Shrimp Salad - 3 Stars Not the best Gỏi Bò Tôm I've ever had but a light and refreshing start to the beef feast. Course 2 - Beef Tenderloin Hot Pot with Sweet Vinegar Broth - 2 Stars A very forgettable dish with not enough fat content in the meat for me to ever want to order this a la carte. Course 3 - Beef Marinated with Lemongrass - 3 Stars The lemongrass actually adds a nice seasoning to the meat, although I wonder how much better this course would be if the meat was something fattier like beef belly or well-marbled brisket? Probably could've used more butter on the griddle too. Course 4 - Charbroiled Ground Beef Sausage with Spices - 5 Stars Oh man, I could probably eat a whole plate of these suckers by myself... so savory and delicious. I like to split each sausage meatball in half and wrap them into rolls with extra mint. Course 5 - Ground Beef Wrapped in Wild Betel Leaf - 4 Stars Pretty good and not dry, which is typically the issue with this dish. For flavor and texture, though, I still prefer the Bò Nướng Mỡ Chài that preceded this course. Course 6 - Plated Steamed Minced Beef Flavored with Nuts, Mushrooms, and Spices - 5 Stars Often translated as Vietnamese Meatloaf, this Bò Chả Đùm was the surprise of the night. I've also had very dry versions of this dish, but the meat was so moist and full of flavor, it had all of us commenting on it. Course 7 - Beef and Rice Soup - 4 Stars A comforting end to the meal: beef broth, minced beef, scorched rice, crispy rice noodles, and alphabet noodles all cooked up into a soothing finish. Could've used more alphabet noodles for nostalgia's sake, but a dish I would want to order whenever I feel under the weather. As a whole, 7 Courses of Beef is a singular dining experience best shared with friends, although Thien An and Hong An are among the few remaining restaurants in Little Saigon that still specialize in it. At $38 a person, including cold Heinekens to start, it's an hour-long beef wrap party that everyone should experience at least once. After that you can focus on specific dishes a la carte, like me, and make your own multi-course bovine feast to enjoy at home.

First time back here since covid. My previous dinning experience here was nothing short of exceptional. I'm happy to say that the service and food remain the same, exceptional. The guy who served us was very friendly. It was the first time one of our friends had 7 course beef. He helped our friend learn ho to wrap the food. He also refilled our water and provided everything we asked for. The food was also excellent. Just like our previous experience prior to covid. We had a la cart bo la lot and mo chai. I also ordered a medium baked crispy skin catfish. They were all excellent. The medium was quite large and all the veggies were fresh. The dish was also very fresh

Food was good. The fried catfish & 7 course beef was as good as it gets. Prices were fair, nothing was overpriced. Restaurant was clean. Service was normal & friendly. Would come again.

It has been a while since we BBM. This joint met all expectations. Friendly service. Decent pricing. With hubby and two teenaged boys and out server rec three options. It was perfect! We left stuffed. We will be back!

Thien An is a decent place to go when you are craving Vietnamese style broil catfish and 7 Course Beef. On this outing, our party of 4 got a medium broiled catfish and some marinated beef to self-grill and wrap in greens and rice paper. The catfish was definitely super crispy and tasted pretty good. The only thing that made me lower the number of stars from 4 instead of 5 was because the fish was a little fishy. I have had this dish at several other places and its always a hit-or-miss on the fish, but this is always dependent on how the fish was cleaned and marinated. I am not saying that this place is not clean, on the contrary! Thien An is very clean and the restaurant was kept well by the staff. Anyways, the catfish was good, with enough dipping sauce, you can't taste the fishiness, but if you eat it on its own, some may find it a little too fishy, especially with American standards. The self-grilled beef on the other hand was amazing. The beef was marinated with lemongrass and garlic. That combination is always good. As always, I usually find reviews on Yelp to be personal and never the reality. Everyone has their own taste and flavors, so just come to Thien An and try it out, you may have found your new favorite place to eat great Vietnamese food.

Pros:Good foods, good service, nice decorations... Cons: as I remember there is only 1 restroom and the is not cleaned. Restroom need to be cleaned at all time.

Came with family after a long basketball tournament weekend for all the kids. My brother and sister in law ordered the 7 course beef, chicken soup and the family style cat fish,m. The meal was awesome and did not disappoint. Portions were large, all the kids (5 total) ate to their filling. Each course of beef was well seasoned and so unique. Loved being able to wrap all the meats in the rice paper and veggies. The star was the cat fish though, the skin was crispy and flesh was well seasoned and meaty. Definitely coming back again.

Dined here on Xmas evening. The $70 baked fish was excellent, crispy skin yet the meat was moist and tender. The $22 order of Bo la lot was ok, it could be better if it wasn't too thick. The ratio of meat to the leaf wrap was too high, thus the meat flavor was overpowering that of the leaf. Service was not good, due to short staff on the holiday. This location on Harbor is better than the one with same name on Bolsa.

Food 5/5 - Very delicious. We ordered one set of the beef course and one grilled catfish. This is more than enough for 4 people. Service 4/5 - Good but the weren't too attentive. Atmosphere 5/5 - Very clean for the area. Value 5/5 - Overall very cheap for a meal for 3. Overall - Good place for a big meal for a small price.

The food from Thien An has been consistently good, and this time I especially love the service from cô Tư Huyền.

Always pick up their baked cat fish ca luc lo every holiday or family events. Enjoy their crispy spring rolls, fresh herbs to their dipping sauce. They always give you plenty and nothing is forgotten to to make at home feast a fulfilling one.

I ordered fish dish here many times. Good food and friendly service. Definitely come back.

As much as how I love to eat here, placed an order for a pick up from 5:50pm and picked up time at 6:30pm. Come In to pay for the order at 6:30pm but they give my order to the ppl whi just order and pay first and they tell me to wait bcuz they were here first. But I told them i order at 5:50 but the owner say no this ppl are here first but I saw them just came In. I will never cone back here again lost a good customer every Friday I eat here for the large fish which is 89 dollars now they are not goi g to gry my support. Bad business especially letting f the senior running g the register bcuz he literally take 5 minutes to help out e customer and he is also rude to customer. Too greedy for the money.

Great service. Veggies kept coming and food was delicious!!! With coming back. Baked Catfish

My family really enjoys seven courses of beef, but overtime, the number of restaurants offering this distinct dish has dwindled. Luckily Thien An, located away from the hustle and bustle of Westminster, is still serving up a pretty solid dinner set. Seven courses of beef simply means you are served beef in 7 different forms. For $19.99 per person, the dinner sets are tweaked and tailored to your party size. And they always come in a very specific order: -beef and shrimp salad -beef tenderloin hot pot with sweet vinegar brother* -beef marinated in lemon grass* -charbroiled ground beef sausage -ground beef wrapped in wild betal leaf -plated steamed minced beef flavored with nuts, mushrooms, and spices -beef and rice soup Aside from the salad, steamed minced beef, and soup, everything else is rolled into a spring roll and dipped in your choice of sauce. The beef tenderloin and beef marinated in lemon grass are tender slices of beef that you cook on the small, hot grill they bring to your table. The following charbroiled sausage, ground beef wrapped in betal leaf can also be wrapped into a spring roll. The quality of beef if top notch - everything was very good. Everything was proportionally appropriate with plenty to spare. The only downside was that the ventilation was not great - I smelled like beef after dinner. Great dinner spot with attentive service.

Im not sure why I never left a review for this place. It is hands down our favorite cá nướng place. We have been going here for years. It is our go to for out of town guests or family gathering. Their mỡ hành is soo addicting. I find it's strange that not many people know about this place. We always call ahead so the fish are ready the moment we arrive. Excellent service from the staff as well. They always fill our veggie dish up!

Nice meal of 7 Ways of Beef. Poor service thinking they are under staffed. Brought grill for bbq and meat but didn't light the bbq. Brought another course and noticed we were eating the first. Then he realized he needed to light the fire so we could bbq. Drinks didn't come until third course. The waited to be seated was over ten minutes but again due to there not being someone to seat you. Maybe Covid has limited the staffing. PS this place hosts tour buses so at times can't be impacted with customers. That was not the case tonight. The places was empty tonight

Cá nướng quá dở , cá khét. Bún lạnh , ăn không được... vì gia đình đi 15 người có các cháu nhỏ 9-16t cho nên gd không bỏ đi. Ăn xong ... phần cơm chiên chưa ra . Đây là máy chém. Tiền ttính đủ. Ăn quá dở. Người phục vụ thì nói... tôi chỉ người làm thôi, tại nhà bếp. Chúng tôi từ tiểu bang khác đến một lần thôi bye . Đưa các cháu đi chỗ khác ăn.

My sister has been coming to Thien An for awhile now and she loves their food and we decided to order take out from here so we can enjoy at home. The food was really good! My mama loves the bo la lot and she likes making spring rolls with it. The decor of the restaurant is a little dark, but looks clean and chic and it wasn't crowded at all. They offer a variety of foods. Typically I'd order a ca nuong, but we didn't this time. We ended up getting the 7 Courses of Beef to make at home. The only con I have is that I called in around 5:15p and ordered 2 of the Bo 7 Mon (7 courses of beef) for pick up at 6:00p We arrived around 6:10p and still waited another 20 mins for our food to be prepared even though there was only 2 tables sitting at the restaurant. I think I'd want to dine in next time and see how the experience is.

Good foods, good services, good place to hang in... I woud recommend this restaurant to everyone

The food is so good!!! My Asian friend took me to this restaurant. I tried their 7 courses of beef. They have pictures on the wall to help you make your own spring rolls. Overall, it was a great experience, highly recommended!

We (7 adult and 2 small children) came here for Father's Day dinner specifically for the 7 course of beef and ended up ordering a large catfish as well. The 7 course of beef was very good but while the baked catfish was visually gorgeous it had a fishy taste to it and the fish was mushy. I've had plenty of baked catfish in Westminster and it's never tasted fishy to me. The menu said it would take at least 30mins to prepare and we got it before our drinks came out (I'd guess in 10-15mins). I assume we got a previously cancelled order. I was most surprised about the 15% service charge since this isn't common practice in Vietnamese restaurants because the service was none existent. We wait almost the entire meal to find a waiter that would serve the table water. It was impossible to tell who worked there and who was a customer because the staff wore everyday clothes. Only once I did someone come to our table to ask if we needed anything and that was at the end of the meal and after we finally got our water. I even stood up for what felt like 15mins debating where I should walk to the front of the restaurant to pay for the bill because no one came to our table or made eye contact with us. I've never complained about service at Vietnamese restaurants because they're known to be bad but to pay 15% service to charge for bad service was hard to accept.

Warning: if you only order one order of the 7 course beef, they only give you 6, forcing you to select 1 of 2 for the 6th choice. Asked the waiter why, he replies that it's too much trouble to make portions for one order. Food was alright as if the flavors were off, sauces were watery though. Never coming again.
