I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋
This place serves excellent dishes at a reasonable price! Very worth the visit. The garlic noodles paired with shrimp is an unbeatable combination. Highly recommend giving their mango salad a try! So delicious! 👍
A good spot when you want Vietnamese food with a more modern twist. The garlic noodles are flavorful, the shaken beef is tender, and the seafood dishes are great for sharing.
The menu has plenty of variety, and the atmosphere feels a little more polished than a typical casual Vietnamese restaurant.

Garlic and Chives is a popular Vietnamese restaurant in the OC area known for its cleanliness, prompt and courteous service, and ample parking. The menu offers a variety of dishes, with many options being great choices. Although the restaurant doesn't serve pho, customers appreciate the diverse selection of Vietnamese favorites. Prices may be slightly higher than expected, but the quality and taste of the dishes make up for it. The clay pots, such as the pork belly, are particularly praised for their flavors and textures. The clay pot fish with pork belly is so good that some customers order two, and the green beans are also highly enjoyed. The restaurant's service is attentive, even with language barriers, and the staff creates a family-style atmosphere encouraging diners to try multiple dishes. Garlic and Chives has received recognition from the Michelin Guide for its inventive twists and big flavors, making it a standout in Orange County’s food scene. The salmon belly is a highlight—fresh, buttery, and seasoned perfectly. The Fried Rice with Salted Fish & Shrimp offers fragrant, savory, umami-rich flavors, while the Lotus Root Salad provides a refreshing crunch. The Black Tiger Shrimp on Garlic Noodles features silky, garlicky noodles with juicy, sweet shrimp. Overall, Garlic and Chives delivers great taste, creativity, and a memorable dining experience, earning high recommendations.
