4/08/24 Getting lunch. A major language barrier. A lot of repeating to try to confirm the order of grilled chicken vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls that I ordered. I asked to make the grilled chicken vermicelli spicy and he had issues understanding that part. He says it would be ready. I went in to get it hoping for the best! Saw the order and not at all what I wanted. It was a chicken wing, breast & leg on top of vermicelli noodles and they were plain. Nothing on them. =/ Darn language barrier. I ended up showing him pictures in the restaurant and told him that was how I wanted it. He said okay and would make it. 10 minute wait! Made fresh! Restaurant is nice. Safe & clean. Pictures of their food all over the walls. Booths and tables with chairs. Large. Lunchtime! Order split. Shrimp spring roll was fresh & Delicious! The peanut sauce with it was really good too! Grilled chicken "chow mein" was really good! Fresh veggies, tasty chicken and noodles. Even better with the hot sauce topping they include on the side. Mother said hers was Great, especially with the fresh jalapeños. Leftovers too! One order is a lot! Definitely recommended for the food, but not for the experience. Okay service. Thankfully, it all worked out. Just a bit much in getting it worked out. A process! FYI!

Fried rice was basically scramble eggs with rice. They just threw the chicken on top. Milk Boba taste like powder, they didn't blend it well. The only good food was pho.

We go here all the time. Always hot and fresh. Service is pretty good. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but definitely one of our favorite places. Will accommodate for my child every time with no problems (HF Autistic).

Food is decent. Bahn Mi sandwiches are good. The Vermicelli Bowls with Pork, Shrimp and Egg Rolls are good. Vietnamese Egg Rolls are good as well. Pho is decent. Pricing is not bad. Cleanliness could be better. Staff is cordial and attentive.

Just order their #12 sandwich from Huong Lan on Kings Canyon. Very disappointed. Bread was old and stale. Breaks apart just by holding it Meat was skimpy. Didn't even cover the whole bread, only the middle portion. Won't go there again.

The Sandwiches are great but the pho is watery. Id rather go across the street to LA kitchen for pho. The service is nice but not professional. They once messed up my order and just left it as it was which made me really upset because it wasn't busy either and no one came to give me what I really ordered. It was very unprofessional. Other than that it's good besides the PHO.
This place has got to be the dirtiest with the rudest employee ever. The cashier/hostess/server (one per person) was rude from the moment we walked in. Honestly we all should have left. We had a party of 3. The employee already looked annoyed when we walked in. He said sit anywhere. When we found a spot, he came out immediately and asked what we wanted. We asked for a menu and he rolled his eyes with a huff. He expected we knew what we wanted because we're Asian I guess? When he comes back, he tosses ONE menu for the three of us to look at on the table instead of handing it me when my hand was out. I told my party I didn't want to eat here and let's leave but one still wanted to eat here. I proceeded to look at the menu despite not wanting to eat here. I ended up ordering a Vietnamese specialty sandwich combination of 1 and 2. There was more bread than the filling and definitely not enough pate. My friend got a medium meatball pho (watered down and too sweet), (ask for extra noodles - no extra charge) . My other friend ordered steamed rice with veggies/chicken (it was ok but oily). We also ordered shrimp pork spring rolls but it had a lot of noodles and lettuce, shrimps were cut in half and pork was extremely thin to even taste it. Dipping sauce had good flavor. Our cashier/host/sever never checked on us never brought our drinks that we asked for, only water, never brought us our check. We had to go to the front counter to get our check and to pay up front as well. The floor needed some sweeping and definitely mopping. Bathroom smelled a mix of cleaning products and mold. I will never in my life ever come back here. What a shame to our Vietnamese culture and food.

The food itself is great; I was just disappointed in the portion size. I usually go to the other Hong Lan location, but I was in the area so I decided to try this one. Staff was helpful and the interior, although pretty old, seemed clean. I got my food to go... here's what I got & here's what I thought: Grilled Chicken over Rice (5/5): The chicken itself is SO GOOD-- the perfect mix of sweet and salty! It's tender, flavorful, and juicy. The only downside to this plate is that I would probably have to eat 2 or 3 of these trays to actually be full. For $16, I thought the portion would be a bit bigger than just 3 small pieces of chicken.
