Trieu Chau Restaurant

Tried this long-time local spot after a friend’s recommendation. The menu is extensive, and we ordered Teochew satay noodles and seafood noodle soup with kway teow. There was some confusion about whether the satay noodles came with beef or pork, but the owner was very kind and offered to remake it with pork. Portions are huge and the complimentary soup was good, but the satay flavor was milder than expected and the Kway Teow was like pho to me. The seafood noodles were better overall, with house-made fish balls. Affordable prices, plenty of seating, but staff were sweeping and vacuuming around our table while we were eating and no other customers were around. This probably can be waiting after we leave. 📍 Trieu Chau Restaurant 4401 W 1st St #4016, Santa Ana, CA 92703

Overall the rice noodle soup was good, with tasty broth. Ingredients were fresh. Ordered a half roast duck. This one came out very disappointing. Dried skin and meat, more to the salty side with just the flavour of soy sauce. Far from the more authentic Teochew (Chao Chau) ones I have tasted before. Probably best to stick to the soup or stir fry dishes.

Not my favorite place for Hu Tieu (it’s not fully comparable to that flavor I miss so much from Tung Kee Noodle house). They have a different flavor for their broth and it wasn’t what I was looking for. I’m sure they have other dishes I may have liked. The service is fast once you can get a server’s attention. However the food is lacking in flavor. I will have to keep trying other Vietnamese noodle houses. I can see why some people like this place as the portions are generous and the service is relatively fast. It just left me wanting more of a different noodle soup, similar to what I had when I was a child.

No reservations, no signup lists, first come first served. Absolutely delicious Vietnamese/Chinese food. Eat the Crispy fried donuts by dipping them in your soup broth. One of us ordered the duck noodle soup and a couple of us ordered the #29 combination beef. I liked the small egg noodle best but my friends liked the big. You can get your noodles dry with the broth on the side or have it all already mixed together. We also ordered the Ox tail that just fell off the bone. The fried rice was delicious and nice to have as a side if you’re really hungry. Very filling, inexpensive, and fast service.

There was a line out the door when we arrived. It moves pretty fast, we waited about 3-4mins to get seated. The seats were a bit dirty with some residue of soup or sauce from previous patrons. The menu has lots of pictures. The soup is a bit too sweet for my taste personally. But, I still enjoyed all the items we ordered. The bean sprout and lime that came with our order were really fresh as it was really white and clean while the lime was not dried up. Parking wasn't too bad to find but the number of spots are limited. The service was friendly and fast.

The best Trieu Chau restaurant in LA. MUST GO! We are from out of state. Come back each year lol

What a let down. We had noodles at this place like 20 years ago and it was one of the best authentic Trieu Chau noodles at that time. Recently, we attempted to try the restaurant again multiple times but not until yesterday since it was always crowded with long line of people waiting. They WERE SO busy and they had 2 lines, one for dine in and one for order Togo. I overheard (and confirmed later) that people couldnt order over the phone since they are so busy. While waiting to order our food, the phone rang non stop and no one was available to pick up. The place was quite clean and bright. The food came out really fast. The food quality on the other hand was not as expected. The duck is pretty salty and chewy but the chicken is tasteless and so soft in a bad way. The shrimp is like melting butter and the shrimp meat felt off from the shell just by picking up by chopstick. All of my shrimps and not just one or two. Same with another bowl of noodles. The wonton was better and but it's not good enough to save the day. We had better noodles from other non noodle specialty restaurants also in Little Saigon. The price is quite decent however. This place is handicap friendly at the entrance but one you are inside, they would need to move chairs around abit to make way for wheelchair access. Small parking lot but plenty of street parkings.

If there is ever a place I can safely say is my number one restaurant in all of the US, it would have to be this place, Trieu Chau. Yes, I am highly biased as this is the place my parent's would take us to growing up as kids and still continue to today. That childhood nostalgia and pure foodgasmic joy experience from each and every meal here is simply priceless. Their noodle soup, is something I have not tasted anywhere else. Theirs is the best. My usual go to is either the #19 - Chao Chow or the #21 - Chao Chow with duck. Order some of their #05 - fried dough also to dip in your noodle soup and you will quickly find your place in a food heaven of flavors. Be warned, sometimes the fried dough sells out so come early. Today we also ordered the #01 - fried crab and shrimp ball, not my favorite, but a lot of my family craves this dish with a passion, and the one that they make here is superb. Another favorite here (I don't know which number) is their chow fun type stir fry dish with mix of beef and seafood (similar to pad see ew dish if you are familiar with the Thai variant). There was about a 20 minute wait for our party of 4 to get a table on this Sunday morning around 10am. Service is always impeccable and efficient. My noodles quickly were absorbing all my soup and pretty soon I could not see much soup left. Asked the wait staff if I could get a small bowl of more soup stock and we quickly got that right away. Top notch place, with our 30+ years of loyalty of dining here year over year, we will continue to come here for many more years come. Try for yourself, you will not be disappointed. P.S. Google has this categorized as Vietnamese, but I feel it is more closer to a Cambodian, Chinese, Vietnamese Restaurant.

Trieu Chau Restaurant is the finest authentic 潮州 experience in Orange County absolute must-try for anyone who appreciates true Chaozhou cuisine. the fragrant to the skillfully prepared dishes you'll taste generations of tradition in every bite. The service is fast and attentive, good atmosphere and each plate reflects a deep respect for authenticity. parking can be a little chaotic, but the exceptional flavors and masterful cooking make the hectic parking situation well worth it.

Trieu Chau has been established for decades, I heard. We came on New Year for breakfast, and it was busy with both dine-in and take-out. The operations were sufficient enough to handle the rush, but somehow, I felt like the staff didn't build the connections with customers via interactions. They delivered just what the customers' ordered. My noodle soup had too many noodles, I think. But the broth was tasty. The coffee with milk was also very good.

This place is packed when we came. There was a wait-list and they do it the old school way where they give you a piece of paper with a number on it. When it's busy, you'll have a hard time parking because it is a shared parking lot and it's not big. So come at an off time. Aesthetics is not what you're looking for here. They do have cool Pokemon artworks on the wall though. The food is good a tad bit salty on some but still feels familiar to me. They did forget our orders until we called upon a person to ask where it was. They had only brought out one that we ordered and we were pretty much done when we were waiting for our soups. There were a handful of staffs as well. We'll be back if we have any cravings. And I'll probably bring my family here when they visit.

This is definitely the OG spot for some Hu Tieu. Parking lot and plaza is definitely small and you will definitely fight for parking. Luckily we were able to get parking as we pulled in but usually it's packed and insane. You'll also need to grab a ticket with a number so you can get called for your table. We waited around 30 mins for a table of 4. It's definitely a typical Vietnamese shop where it's settings is sit, get greeted and they'll take your order right away. Simple and very Asian. They're nice and friendly and it's just typical noise level inside of family chatter. Menu is easy to follow for the Hu Tieu. Pick your noodles and what type of broth you want. I got a regular beef meatball broth with thick noodles and my husband got the egg noodles with the seafood and broth on the side. As soon as we order, food and drinks were out in 5mins and our bill was given to us so we can easily go pay once we're done eating. Simple but definitely hits the spot when it's cold outside. Reminds me of home when we have these type of meals. Definitely still the go to spot for Hu Tieu.

I've grown up going to this place and eating the Chow Fun Seafood (Pho Xao Do Bien). It is the best thing I've ever had for chow fun!! It has tons of veggie options from Chinese broccoli, shrimp, imitation crab, squid and carrots. It is sautéed perfectly and has a great gravy sauce to it. Recommend to get the gravy, not dry version. Service is good, quick and straight to the point!! Recommend to bring your own water bottle, which they don't mind. Once done eating you pay at the cashier and mention your table #. Ambiance is extremely busy during lunch hour. You have to go inside, write down the number of people in your party on a clip board and take a number. They will call out your number.

Service is not the best. They don't help you, nor do they care any bit about you, so make sure you do what you feel is right. They are very fast paced, since they have so many customers, they can care less if you want to eat there or not. After you order, your food comes out pretty fast. Skip the duck, it sucks.... Trust me, or go ahead and waste your money. Come here to get a bowl of noodle soup, any choice is going to be good. Dry noodles are good too. Any noodles, just order noodles. The inside is not that clean, but it is very spacious. They also have outdoor seating too.

Trieu Chau has been around for decades; we come here for quick bowl of rice noodle soup and stir fried chow fun. As an old school diner, there isn't fancy decor, but there are enough tables to seat customers inside and outdoor patio. Food comes out fairly fast, and it's a quick turnaround that the wait is not too bad. We had the #19 Chao Chow Rice Noodle soup for $13.50 and Seafood Chow Chun $14.50. Price has gone up over the years, but the ingredients also doubled in the noodle soup; there were two of everything in the noodle soup. Flavor was good, although we tasted more msg now than before. They used to only take cash, but now they also accept credit card ($20 minimum).

I come here pretty often. I love the portion size of noodles and broth we get. I have 3 go to noodles I always order: #19 Chow Chao, #28 Beef Stew, or #29 Beef Combination. 10/10 on all of them. I also love it with small egg noodles and small rice noodles! Broth is so flavorful by itself, but I always love adding in the pickled garlic, pickled serrano or jalapeño peppers, and their sate.

Don't come for the service or the ambience, because that doesn't exist. Come for the delicious soup and mixed noodles. I can't get over their broth, it's so good! We also ordered their fried rice and duck, but I wouldn't order those again as they were not good. But the soup, the soup is the winner here! If there's a line, they give you a number to wait for a table but don't expect to get a number first if you were waiting first - they will give it to the person who pushes themselves to the front of their face so it's that type of place. There's ample parking in a shared lot.

Service is always adequate. Output time is always blazing fast upon placing orders as food arrived in less than 2 minutes. This place does it fast as long as you speak their language of knowing how to order . Ordered three ball soup and pork Bone soup this time, great meal to order when you want to break down into two meals for later on.

This is my second time here. Parking space is very limited. Ive heard this business has been opened for the decades, a true OG. Space is small, typical OG asian restaurants filled with delicious food aroma, customers talking, eating, and enjoying their food, and moderate noise level. This establishment is always packed especially on the weekend. Trieu Chau is well- known for their duck noodle soup, I ordered the same item: duck noodle soup with egg noodles. The broth is very tasty and flavorful. The egg noodles were freshly made, soft, and delicious. There's enough duck meat, veggies, onions, and fried garlic. Never a dull moment coming here.

It's been decades since I've been back and now I remember why. Maybe we ordered the wrong items. The hu tieu place we wanted to go is closed Tuesday so we settled here because it's one of the OG restaurants that the elders still remember and my uncle wanted to go here. They have a lot on their menu but known for hu tieu and I got the seafood wet version. You can also get dry and get a side bowl of soup. There were 4 different types of noodles to choose from and I picked two to mix. The skinny rice noodles and egg noodles. The broth was missing the umami flavor and it tasted diluted. Thin noodles were over cooked. Oh and they charge for tap water. Also please double check your bill prior to paying. We ordered crispy long doughnut and they ran out but didn't remove the charge. Sneaky!

I haven't been to this place since I was 8, but it sure left a mark on me because it's still the same! I got the Chao Chow Wontons with Crispy Fried Doughnuts (Chinese Donuts) and it was delicious as I remember. The broth was rich and full of flavor. I like to add some of the crispy fried garlic to it and chili satay to maximize the soup. My favorite part is the pork balls for sure. I usually don't eat the beef balls in my pho, but these pork balls are addicting. I'm considering just getting the egg noodle pork balls in the future! Tony was our server and got mine and my dad's order in and out so fast!! I will be coming back to this place for all my egg noodle cravings.

This neighborhood gem has been a staple for AWHILE. Food: 6.5/10. A hearty bowl of soup and noodles but nothing that amazed me. It's definitely a delicious bowl of comfort but taste aside it's very much average. Be sure to dress your bowl up with all the chili and adds on as it does make it better. Service: 8.5/10 it's very quick service and food is out very fast, helps to know the language but they have pictures on their menu to help. Ambiance: 6/10 a classic Cantonese joint where they don't care for the aesthetic as much as they do for fast service getting you in and out. I would recommend trieu chau to people who have never had hu tieu before

I visited Trieu Chau years ago, and it was great and much cheaper than it is now. However, it was never a regular spot for me, as it's a bit out of my way. I decided to revisit the restaurant yesterday (6/19/2025), and the food is still delicious. The prices have increased significantly since my last visit, though. What used to cost under $10 for a bowl of Hu Tieu (Chao Chow) is now at least $14 or more! The staff here is incredibly efficient, which is why orders are taken promptly and food arrives quickly. One of my favorite things about dining in is the unlimited pickled garlic and jalapeños at the table. I love adding these to my bowl of noodles. We went all out and ordered #21, which is Chao Chow with Duck and egg noodles ($17). Duck is considered a premium ingredient, so it comes at a higher price. We prefer it dry, with the soup served on the side. The flavors were great together, but the duck was a bit dry. Honestly, I don't think it's worth $17. I also ordered #23, Chao Chow Satay with big rice noodles ($14.25). This was my first time trying the satay, and while I really liked the flavor, it was a bit too sweet for my taste. It's also made with beef only, unlike the other Chao Chows, which come with seafood. Overall, both Chao Chows had plenty of noodles and meat. I couldn't even finish the satay one on my own, so the portion sizes are still generous, just like before. I also appreciate that this place opens early at 7 a.m., so I can avoid the lunch crowd. It gets packed later in the day, and parking can be a bit tight during peak hours.

First thing first, I think Trieu Chau makes the best fried Chinese doughnuts. I'm not sure if they make them in-house or source them elsewhere, but they're perfect every time.. crispy on the outside and soft inside. I ordered the Chiu Chow shao mai and bone soup, and had it with the doughnuts. The shao mai was really good. the bone soup was a little on the bland side, but I didn't mind it. I'd definitely order the Chiu Chow shao mai again every time.

I thought it was time to update my review of one of my favorite restaurants in the world. I am still madly deeply in love with the wontons. I refuse to get anything else here. I take my family and friends here all the time. It's an absolute OC institution. Limited parking. Good customer service. I like saying Hi to Tony when I'm there. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

Food is really good here..I always get the flat noodles..Fried rice is gd too..pretty..service is quick too so all around gd place to have breakfast or lunch..

If you're from the area, then you know this is one of the OG noodle spots. I admit I haven't been in a long time, but decided to take my husband to try for his first time! We both ordered the chao chow rice noodles -- very savory, flavorful, and come with a variety of meat toppings. A solid choice and can't go wrong with this order! You get to pick egg or rice noodles and with or without soup. The restaurant itself has gotten cleaner and more organized over the years. If it's busy, you'll get a number and wait to be called in. Servers are quick and everything is straightforward. Card minimum is $20. Parking can be a nightmare though if it's busy so be prepared to deal with not-so-great drivers lol

Love coming here. It's fast and delicious. I get same thing every time. Chao chao noodles which comes with a variety of proteins, with the small rice noodles, dry, soup on the side with Chinese donut. I've tried the egg noodles and the wide rice noodles and it was alright. I'll have ton try the wide egg noodles when I'm feeling adventurous.

Restaurant with a lot of history, dating back to even before I was born. Taste and portions have dwindled down over time but still a solid choice for hu tieu / chao chow noodles. Highly recommend what they're known for - number #19 chao chow noodles. (4/5, $13.75). You get a choice of: small/big rice noodles, small/big egg noodles. The noodles are accompanied by shrimp, fried slice pork, grounded pork meat, pork meatball, liver, duck, chicken, & beansprouts. I prefer the dry version, so your noodles don't overcook & expand during your meal. They'll provide you with soup broth on the side. The highlight is really the soup! Cooked for hours, clear, savory, clean, & light. Before you know it, you'll finish the soup and want more. Service & food is fast. Not much of an ambiance here - you go in, enjoy your noodles, and go on with your day. Pro tip: Get their freshly fried Chinese donuts and dip it into their delicious soup! Pro tip 2: You can ask for more soup broth (free of charge). Pro tip 3: You can request for a combination of both rice noodles & egg noodles for added texture and variety when ordering their chao chow noodles.

I've been going here since I was a baby, the food is always amazing! Would highly recommend

Love the noodle soups here. Was a kidling when I first came here with my family. Still go there any chance I get. I always get the combination with wonton and if it's early in the morning, I try grabbing the chinese donuts to go with it. Located on Newhope and first near Tan Cang Seafood Restaurant.

Came on a Sunday afternoon the parking plaza is a mess and a challenge to navigate and you're lucky if you snag a spot. There was a bit of a wait as I had a larger party of 5 this place does not do well for large parties they shoved us all into one small tables and the condiments on the table already took up 1/4 of the table so there wasn't much room to eat. The service here is quick, nice, and friendly. We ordered and the food came out 5 mins later piping hot. I got the wonton combo soup with wide egg and rice noodle. The portion was huge way too much for one person. It was not good though it was flavorless. I tried adding the toppings on the table but it didn't help. I ordered two fried breadsticks (gio chao quay) these came out cold and it was chewy but not crunchy the flavor was sweet I was not a fan it reminds me of Vietnamese banh tieu without the sesame seeds. Lastly I got the fried crab and shrimp ball and I also did not like it it was lacking in flavor the sauce it came with did not pair well with it and it tasted more like grounded beef or pork I didn't taste any crab or shrimp. Overall I would not come back the parking situation is terrible and the wait is not worth the food being flavorless.

"Newhope" is what my husband calls this place. His family has been coming here ever since he was a kid & this place is nostalgic to him. It is always so busy here especially for breakfast. Husband's fave is the duck noodle soup & I love the beef chow fun dry (no gravy). Can't leave without bringing a few cha quai breads to go. Nothing fancy. Just your no frills, local noodle spot. Service is good. They turn tables here quickly as well so the wait isn't so bad despite the lines.

Been coming here for years! My parents have eaten here all my life and it never disappoints! Can't go wrong with their house special noodle (I like big white noodles in mine) and/or their combination seafood stir fried noodles. The fried shrimp balls appetizer is a MUST TRY item! Parking can be tricky because it's a shared lot, but def woth the wait. Service is usually good so you can get in and out quickly!

Ok I come here for the broth. It's probably the best hu tieu I had in OC. There is always a wait but it's worth waiting for. Trust me on this one! It won't disappoint.

This place is absolutely legendary and has been a staple that my family has gone to for 40+ years. My favorite thing to order is the wonton noodle soup with thick egg noodle and thick rice noodle. The wontons are magical with a silky smooth and thin wrapper filled with the right portion of meat. It hits every single time. They also have this magic sauce in squirt bottles on the table, make sure to dip the wontons into it!! The broth is always super light and packed with flavor, it's not overall salty. They are always heavy handed with the portion sizes and I find myself always lugging a huge bag of togo with me when I leave. They also offer a dry noodle version which has everything in the wonton noodle soup just with the soup on the side. They also put this tasty sauce into the dry noodle which gives it a completely different flavor profile. I can't say whether the wet or dry version is better because it is totally up to personal preference and just how I feel on a given day. Their soy milk is also so tasty. It's not overly sweetened and has a strong soy bean flavor. I usually like it cold but they also offer it hot. Depending on the time of day you go this place could be packed with long wait times. Usually the morning time is super busy and it trickles off towards the afternoon/evening. But beware that if you come later in the day they might sell out of things for the day! The parking lot is pretty small and really hectic so be prepared to do a couple of loops if you come in the morning! The restaurant has a pretty cozy feel to it but it can be tight when there's a lot of people. They recently renovated and updated the tables so it feels a lot cleaner than the past. Overall Trieu Chau is a great place for a hearty and homey meal. A must try if you are visiting the area!!

I like their yellow egg noodle with flat rice noodle meat ball soup. The place is always busy but the service is nice and quick.

Came here to visit after reading all the good reviews, but I have to say this wasn't my favorite Hu tieu I've ever eaten. I got the combination with thin rice noodles and soup on the side. The broth itself was too sweet for my liking, it tasted like a lot of sugar was added to it. The sauce to flavor the hu tieu was not very flavorful or noticeable. The rice noodles itself had a bit of a smell to it. We also got the Chinese donut and it wasn't very crispy or cut when we got it. I've tasted better in oc so I won't go back here again.

I haven't been back here in almost a year. The service was quick and to the point for my Togo. It was good to see Tony on this Easter Sunday. Food was amazing, the soup was very savory today. Thank you for some of the best soup served around over the years

I haven't been back here since multiple decades ago. I am not even joking. I was quite surprised that this place was still alive and kicking whereas a lot of the original restaurants from Orange County went bye-bye. The place was still dirty like before, nothing has changed really. They kept the same ugly, dirty conditions after all these years, which was quite surprising as well. Places like this is like the Banh Mi Cali chain, which has been in Orange County forever and still alive. I guess people that go here expect the minimum knowing that they will always at least get that minimum level of satisfaction with no other bad surprises, so that's why they stay loyal for that minimum satisfaction guarantee. I ordered a bunch of dishes this time around, but I didn't like anything. The soup was still bland, flavorless as before. The portion was still generous but there was nothing else good about it. I guess I will revisit it in several more decades if I am still around at that time.

Free parking inside plaza. $20 minimum for credit card use. Super casual place with melamine plates and low key hole in the wall. The food is SO good. Lots of variety in menu. Service is good. I love the big rice noodle. You can choose from thin or big rice or egg noodles or have a combination of both. They have soup dishes and dry dishes. I love the stir fried big rice noodles. There are many options of proteins to choose from. This place is awesome and can get packed so off peak hours are best.

I love you so much Trieu Chau! Amazing food. Recommend the beef ball with mixed small white and small yellow noodles. Ask for a side of duck sauce. Amazing staff and amazing service. The owners are amazing. The upgrades to the interior are amazing. I will always come here!

It's AMAZING! As always Much cleaner now and payment process is very fast now too. They're very organized and everything is very seamless and easy :)

Good food quick service and open early at 7 am When I got there at 705 am there were people already eating and finishing up their morning meals

As one of the OG noodle spots, I was expecting this place to be a banger. I'd say it's good, but it's nothing out of this world. Be prepared they always have long lines and parking is in a small lot. Service was fast and straight to the point. Had a decent amount of indoor seating. Though the wait can be long, they move quickly to get people in. They try to keep it clean and wipe down the tables. Food was good. I'm not a huge fan of egg noodles but since they're known for it, I gave it a go. You get a good portion for what you pay. Chinese donut was good. They sell out quick if you don't come before lunchtime. The crab and shrimp ball appetizer was disappointing and I'd say you can skip that. Didn't have much flavor.

The food is mediocre but service is nice and portion is really good for the price. The noodle soup flavor isn't super special and I wish it had a bit more saltiness or tanginess. Probably wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes. Parking is also pretty hard to find during the weekend since the plaza is very small.

Whenever I crave Khmer food, I always go to Trieu Chau because it reminds me of home-cooked meals. Their kuy teav and lot cha are always delicious, and you can't go wrong with either dish. However, it's still a hole-in-the-wall establishment. Even after the remodel, don't expect great service. Depending on how busy it is, you might receive rude responses when you inquire about the menu. My husband isn't a big fan of this place for that reason. Ambiance is like any other asian restaurant. I don't go in with high expectations besides for when I order the food so it saves me the trouble of leaving bad reviews.

My family and I have been coming here since I was young when it was a hole in the wall. They remodeled the place years ago, so it's nicer and bigger. Coming here is nostalgic for me. I've never had a bad experience. We come in, sit down and order right away. They bring us the food. We eat. We talk. We pay and then we leave. lol. I'll continue to come here.

we ordered the #19 chiu chow noodle soup and the beef chow fun. also wanted the chinese fried donut but they had sold out for the day by ~3pm :( overall, this place isn't bad especially considering the affordable prices + large portion sizes. the noodle soup was decent tasting. they give a good portion of noodles and meat. i've had better chiu chow noodles at kim ky noodle house in san gabriel, but this place is pretty comparable. the beef chow fun was a HUGE portion. can definitely be shared by two people. only note is that it didn't have enough flavor/seasoning.

Excellent and very delicious food, very efficient service and friendly staff. Feel good atmosphere place. Parking is a challenge because this Restaurant is very popular. Needs to find the right spot to park on the side street. Some spots not allowed or the some homeowners not happy to park in front of the house.

I love a no frills restaurant with bad service. Typically bad service = amazing food - But this place is straight up dirty. I'd even say a health concern. There was a short wait which got me really excited because that just means locals are eating here. Upon being seated there was a wet napkin that was behind the condiments. The floor covered with used napkins. Every plastic cup was chipped. I moved the napkin container to let them know it was out and there was a red ring of oil that the container was hiding. The pickled jalapeños are a show stopper, it's very good and it seemed like every table needed a refill. Instead of dumping the pickled juice they put it back in the container they scooped it in. That's a little gross but whatever it's communal anyways. I think what put the nail on the coffin was when the staff was cleaning up the table next to us. They dumped the soup in a plastic bin and it splashed on me. I literally wanted to throw up. The spacing is tight and very chaotic. As soon as you're seated they will come up to you immediately for your order and if you ask for a minute they don't come back until you flag them down. I think there was also a bit of a communication barrier as well. But not the fore front of the issues. Save yourself the trouble.

Food - 4/5 Service - 4.5/5 Cleanliness - 4/5 One of the best Trieu Chau noodles around the area. Currently my go to spot!

Been going here since I was a kid. The one thing you'll notice about this place that it has a lot of Spanish speaking waiters/staff/cooks and customers. It's very rare to find a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant like this. The staff is mostly Asian and barely speak English. Ever since I was a kid I've always noticed that the Latino community has always been welcomed here that generations come eat here. I love this about Trieu Chau.

This place takes credit & cash but from the signs in the store you would think cash only. I came in before work because this place close so early. I had my usual wonton combination soup, with iced tea, with tip, took all of my 20$. New inflation prices. Food and flavor good, service fast, had my breakfast in and out under 30 mins. Would recommend.

Decent noodle soup, you get what you expect here. The duck was soft and the other meats were the usual. Soup is flavorful and my egg noodles had a bounce to them. This place is kinda dirty. Your utensils and table will have a strange feel to them. The napkin dispenser was a little oily. The workers cleaning the table behind me splashed some liquid on me. When they were cleaning the table to my left, they splashed liquid on my partner. Wasn't the best experience and also a huge line to get a table. Not worth the visit

I've noticed Trieu Chau Restaurant a few times since my family and I always made sure to visit a neighboring restaurant located within the same tiny strip. I wasn't ever really intrigued enough to actually stop by until my last few trips to LA. One thing that is a constant at each and every visit = extremely rushful service. My most recent visit was no different- very pushy and lowkey kind of rude. I get you guys are busy. I get that you want people in and out so the business can maximize profit. BUT!! Getting seated, menus provided, and me not being able to completely review the menu before being rushed into ordering is just too much. Between 2 employees, we were asked about ordering 4 times and we had just gotten seated not too long ago. Food is good but what keeps me consistently coming back are TC's chinese donut sticks!! The best way I can describe this deliciousness is imagining a dau chao quay [donut sticks] and banh tieu [sweet sesame hollow donut] coming together and having a baby!! No other place compares. 3 stars overall factoring the last visit was only so-so. The huge bone provided in soup was super dry and tough while the donut sticks were cold. Upon asking the owner to reheat at least one stick, he declines saying it was not possible because the sticks would then become rock hard. We settled with the cold carbs but even with the fluffy interior, it was would have been so much better even slightly warmed. Meh.

We were quickly seated and served on a Wednesday morning. The staff were kind. I enjoyed their seafood rice noodle bowl. I got the thick fresh noodle and added liver to mine. I really enjoyed their soup flavor and their fried donut! Would get it again! The portion was very generous. My partner and I had some leftover. I was super happy to finally see a place that puts out many seasoning condiments (esp sugar and pickled pepper my fav!!) I will be recommending this place to my friends and family. They also have outside seating.
