Vien Huong is a well-known restaurant that I've been going to since I was a little kid.They're most known for their noodle soups, particularly the Chow Jew Noodle Soups which have a combo of chicken, pork, and shrimp products. Some people like to order with soup on the side and eat their noodles dry with their sauces.I also really like their Beef Stew Noodle Soup which is very flavorful and their beef and beef tendon is very tender.Last but not least are their fried fish cakes.This place is family-owned and cash only.

Great place if you are craving Chinese/Vietnamese dishes. Affordable but cash only. Street parking or there are parking lots near by

11/27/2023No. 21 Chow Jew Ho Fun takes center stage on their menu. This time, I tried their mixed noodles with ho fun and rice noodle. The chicken broth is a light and clear base for their impressive array of condiments such as chili, sriracha, hoisin, vinegar, and Vien Huong's house-made chili sauce. The dish features a generous medley of meats—shrimp, fish balls, pork balls, pork bits, kidney, and your choice of sliced chicken or pork—all served with your preferred type of rice noodles. The homemade chili oil and pickled jalapeños add a spicy burst and extra kick, creating a delightful flavor combination.We also tried their Sauteed Kidney with Ginger Onion, which I really enjoyed and highly recommend if you are not apprehensive about eating pork kidney. The kidney is well-seasoned and flavorful, with a crunchy but not mushy texture. The onions complement the kidney really well, even when paired with the Chow Jew Ho Fun.*Tip: Cash only.10/23/2023Vien Huong Restaurant is a hidden treasure.

Before PANDEMIC the food was great. But now the quality of the food is bad, from 5 stars went down 2 stars now.And expensive as well. Will never recommend anyone anymore.

Very disappointed, don’t trust the hype of the other tourists review. Prime example of seeing people standing in line and thought this is the IT place. Very expensive, should have down priced at 2/3 of everything on menu. For example, seafood Ho Fun (flat noodle) $15.75 Cash only presented with 95% noodle, one piece of shrimp, two piece of fish cake, three pieces of squids. Unless you like to chew on plastic, avoid! Plenty of other good restaurants around.

Get the Noodles. Very good Chow Jew Ho Fun. The entire restaurant seemed to be eating the same thing so I knew that this must be their specialty signature dish. I opted to go half egg noodles and half rice noodles which come with a good number of toppings that asians like myself tend to love i.e fried fish cakes, stir-fried pork kidneys, green onions, etc.Very good Vietnamese Iced Coffee too. Strong enough to kick someone off of their hangover by force; just how I like it.

Great restaurant and food. Had a party of six and wait time wasn't too long eventhough place was packed when we arrived there. Had the fried bird nest noodle. Noodles were crispy and vegetables blanched perfectly.
At 2pm, after a long hike, I was feeling thirsty and hungry. A bowl of Vietnamese rice noodles sounded really good. So I walked in and sat down as the only customer. There were two elderly ladies manning the shop. They were both at least trilingual (Cantonese, Vietnamese, and English) and English was clearly their least favorite. No matter... the seafood rice noodle soup (with a clear broth) was delicious and the ice coffee with condensed milk really hit the spot. All this for just $16 plus tips. Can't beat it in this economy!

We made a mistake and ordered the chow fun seafood, the #1 in the menu. Disaster! It had no taste. Very little seafood. It consisted of 2 small shrimps and a few small pieces of fish cake. Was very disappointed with the food. And we waited for half an hour to be seated.
