I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋
Garlic and Chives was a lovely place for Vietnamese food. I enjoyed the fresh flavors, balanced seasoning, and well-prepared dishes. The meal was flavorful and satisfying, with a nice variety to choose from. A great spot for a relaxed Vietnamese dining experience.
I’m bit old school when it comes to Vietnamese cuisines but man, some of their dishes were superbly delicious. Their dish of string beans had the right amount of infused garlics. Their vermicelli dishes were awesome. I def would come back to this place again and try every dish on their menu.

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.
