“Friendly staff! The food is good quality food and nicely packaged. Nice sit down place if you want to dine in.Got the chicken lemon grass vermicelli with chicken $15 with tax, good lunch spotSorry I got hungry and ate the food before I took the picture haha.“
“This spot serves the only phó I'll enjoy in Orange County. The egg rolls are light and crisp. The chicken phó combo is my go-to and their Vietnamese coffee is yum! This place has my appetite satisfied every time I leave. Thank you Saigon Noodle House. (I'll post pictures of my meal next time.)“
“Didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night for a party of two. I think if you're a larger party, you may have to wait. Got cha gio, pho tai chin, and a cafe sua da. The cha gio and cafe sua da was nothing special. Not the best I've had, but not bad at all. The star of the show was the broth of the pho. It was very tasty, with no overpowering notes from a singular spice. All the ingredients from the beef in the pho tai, to the vegetables served with the cha gio were very fresh.“
“Spring roll peanut sauce was pleasant. The brisket used in the pho can almost become a tender meal on it's own. Different from other pho restaurants. No MSG headaches. Clean big pieces of meat, soft silky noodles, steamed bean sprouts to prevent soup from cooling too quickly. The only complaint is the hard seats in the booth. You'll know what I mean.“
“The space is spacious and airy. On weekends, if you go early, it will help users. I really like stir-fried snails with coconut and fried rice with shrimp and crab. The staff is very cute and enthusiastic, I will come back. Reasonable price with the great quality.“
“Came for lunch on a weekday. Few people and light hearted atmosphere when we got there. Boss greeted us warmly and gave us recommendations. We got the numbers 12 and 15. The highlight here is the tender, delicious, fresh-tasting meats used. The portion is big and the staff provided quick service. I would highly recommend to anybody looking for quality meat and broth in their pho noodle soup.“
“A Diamond in the rough for sure. I ordered a pound of shrimp, rice, wonton with duck soup and a drink and it was amazing. The food is reasonably priced even in 2024, the workers who I assumed are the owners are very attentive and offer a nice atmosphere. Anyone can find quality food here.“
“I so love and appreciate Dan for all the care, heart and soul they put into creating this nurturing restaurant, and adding such goodness to the world.I’ve been coming here for years. Each time I’m greeted with the most sincere smiles and warmth.The food is fresh, delicious and oh so satisfying.One time years ago I got food poisoning. I can’t remember how it came to be that Dan and Si, his brother, learned of this, but they literally made me food to eat for each stage of my healing. Broth, a mash, and other foods, all made to nurture me back to health.I’ll never forget this kindness or the example of his commitment to always providing excellent service and the most wonderful food.I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and wish for it to have great success and longevity!“
“My husband and I had the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice with grilled ribeye on the side and everything was amazingly very tasty. Definitely coming back to try more on the menu. Service was excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking isn't a problem. This place definitely is keeper.“
“This place is always crowded!! Came here recently Sunday afternoon, right when the bar opened at 4pm so we got a table in the bar area to eat/drink and watch the football games. There’s always a wait for a table at the restaurant, so plan accordingly, especially if you go for dinner.They have the big beer towers if your group wants to share. Full bar with lots of alcohol/cocktail options. Great food dishes were: Ốc Hến Bánh Đa (baby clams and escargot with rice crackers), Ốc Len Xào Dừa (coconut escargot), Ốc Saté Bơ (saté garlic butter escargot) and Cơm Chiên Crawfish X.O. (crawfish fried rice)—all delicious and well flavored!! And at the end, they give each person a small complimentary bowl of Chè Bắp (Vietnamese sweet corn dessert) which is good!“
“BANH TET REVIEW--wow, their banh tet ($36) is nothing like I've ever seen before. It's packed with meat, both lean and fatty. The sweet rice is soft with just the perfect amount of green bean. Unlike other places that are packed with green bean and just 1 strip of meat with hard rice. Bought 1 yesterday and already almost finished it all by myself! Also tried their Cha Chien (fried pork loaf $9) and Dua mon (dried radish pickles). It was the perfect pairing since it gives the dish a crunchy texture. Will definitely be coming back to get more“
“Every Once in a While the Best Surprise is One You Never Saw Coming! The Bowl & Plate Eatery is Exactly That!!! Driving south on Magnolia Street in Anaheim Sunday, Feb. 25 around 6pm. Just before I reached Ball Road, I remembered there used to be a 'hole-in-the-wall' Italian restaurant tucked into the northeast corner of a little strip mall there. It's been a while so I wasn't sure what I'd find but I made the left turn into the parking lot to explore. No more Italian restaurant (sigh). But in its place I see a quaint looking sign proclaiming the new establishment's name: The Bowl & Plate Eatery. Some quick Internet searching gave sufficient details to convince me to enter...that and my growling stomach! A tasteful and minimalist small dining area offered seating for perhaps 15 guests. Upon my arrival this particular Sunday evening, I was one of three. The owner gestured for me to take a seat, brought over a menu and offered a smile so warm and bright I knew she loved what she was creating here. Seriously, her exuberance was evident in abundance. I'm now even more convinced I made the right choice for this evening's dinner. I won't list the whole menu but I will speak of my selections: - Chicken Vegetable Dumplings - Steak Salad - Choco Roti with Ice Cream Everything is infused with blended Asian flavors. The dumplings were perfectly seared on the bottom, offering a nice crispy-crunch with every bite. Their dipping sauce added just the right amount of 'Zip!' without being overpowering. The steak salad was heaping with fresh leafy greens of several varieties and the steak bites were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. The Choco Roti with ice cream was a last minute addition and WOW! am I glad I did. Small wedges of delicately toasted flat bread, drizzled with sweet icings and a touch of cinnamon, served with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream, also drizzled with icing. A great combination of sweetness and savory to end a fantastic meal. Mind you, The Bowl & Plate Eatery is not staffed by a team of experts, cranking out cookie-cutter meals-o-plenty. No No! It was staffed by the owner of that amazing smile, who also happens to own the restaurant. She handled it all, from greeting and seating, to explaining, order taking, meal preparing and serving. She's even her own busboy! And all of it in a timely, orderly manner. No rushing nor resting. A model of efficiency and a skilled chef t'boot. No need to ask if I will return. I will have to add this to my monthly restaurant sojourn list. The owner said she's been there for 3 years now and I fault myself for not discovering The Bowl & Plate sooner. And please note, this is not the steam-table Asian food take-out style place. This is well-crafted dishes prepared with passion and heaped with love of craft. Yes, you'll pay a bit more for this but with every bite you'll know it is So, SO Worth It! I'm hopeful The Bowl & Plate is well-visited to keep it in business. This level of original and fresh is rare indeed. I'll keep doing my part! Now it's your turn! Get to The Bowl & Plate for lunch or dinner today!“
“Very impressive!Great broth, great beef. We had the Pho combo and the Wagyu fried rice, both were fantastic! Kids got free noodle with clear broth.Even the Thai tea was so tasty with intense flavor but not too sweet!The service was ? on the cake.Definitely recommend!“
“This place is not bad, the restaurant was empty at 7pm Friday evening, not sure if this is a good sign but I like places that are quiet to eat in. Food came out within Mims, it was tasty yet not too overbearing with sauces. The durian smoothie though was not real fruit and too much dairy cream, only bad thing is when it rains, the restroom is behind the kitchen "outside" in the rear. I haven't tried their pho so I am sorry, too many pho restaurants in orange county. Try this place, it is casual dining and not much of a wait.“
“My girlfriend and I found this place by chance and I am SO glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing! The owner came out to our table and talked to us. He's such a friendly guy. The chef came out and talked to us for a bit too. We had to wait for our table for a few minutes when we 1st got there, but I definitely know why. This place is small, but consistently steady with business. I HIGHLY recommend this place and we will definitely be back again!“
“Very quick service and great tasting pho I got the beef and mom got the chicken. Both of us were satisfied with the overall experience. Would recommend this place to people who like pho with no msg. More authentic than places I've been since covid “
“Love this place! The best egg rolls I've ever had, and such a great deal. I will be back here many many times to come. Don't forget to ask for the sauce, yum!! Thank you! ?❤️Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian egg rollsParking: Parking is in back of the building“
“Not sure what Mr.BuffettSoCal was talking about. seems like he just likes to write creatively. I did not experience any of whatever amusement park he was talking about. I came here yesterday and bought the 12 piece tray. I selected a variety of cakes and a couple jellos. i must say all of it is so so tasty. the store inside is small and humble, family owned. Appeared clean and service was so kind and helpful. she showed me the different sizes and little cakes i could order. all of which was packed nicely. steamed cakes came with coconut sauce and sesame seeds. I will definitely be back here to this little gem.“
“Got their vermicelli noodle, and it tasted good. Lots of grilled pork came with it. Their fried chicken was crispy. I went on a weekday night and the restaurant was pretty busy, and it took >30 minutes before the food came out. Price of the food is very reasonable.“
“This is my go to spot for pho just smelling the aromatic broth when they bring your food awakens the senses ( yeah I just wrote that) but really I've gone to probably 9 other places on bolsa in Westminster also 4 other pho restaurants in surrounding cities nothing compares. They have a couple other menu items but the Pho is why you come here, I like to take my son here they're open late until 1:30 a.m., It's always clean and the staff are nice. My personal recommendation is the Pho combination with no meat ball or tripe substitute extra tendons and add a beef rib or the ox tail pho.Lastly, Price is about $20 with a can of coke“
“I came to Disneyland for the first time and was a bit saddened by the lack of Asian food in downtown Disney. I’m so glad I found Asia foodie kitchen with a simple Google search - walked over from fantasy tower (took less than 20 minutes in a nice area). The house special pho was fantastic and the person who served me was very nice! I would definitely come here when I visit Disneyland again :)“
“It’s Anaheim and this place is a hidden gem. Food is authentic. Portion is huge for nowadays. So far, we tried Pho, chicken fish sauce, bún chả Hanoi, shaken Salmon with garlic noodle, bun thit nuong, spring rolls. I like the fish sauce chicken so much I have to it every time I come here. Wells, it’s my second time :) but this place will be my home place when I am craving for Vietnamese food.Kid-friendliness: The owner is so nice offered my son a little bowl of pho soup no charge :)“
“Great food, banh cuon and soupy bun bowls! It is SMALL inside, which is fine if people who dine are considerate of the business, to come eat and leave... When I was last there to purchase a TOGO, there was big table of 12 ALL DONE eating, just sitting there chatting and wasting time and restaurant space.. in the meantime, staff would walk back and forth asking if they needed anything, do they need the check, etc. there was a long list of people waiting too. I waited 30mins for my TOGO, they were still there when I left, people were clueless!!! Restaurant needs to be able to say something, but didn't... LOL I'll get Togo but won't wait.“
“Came here on a whim on Saturday night, so glad it was not crowded and we were seated immediately. They have pictures of plates they serve on tv screens so it's very nice to see what you may be ordering. We ordered egg, filet mignon and meatball on a sizzling plate with baguette and a bo luc lac with garlic noodle and it was delicious! Very affordable prices. Fresh made and not too sweet drinks too, I recommend the penny worth and mung bean drink! Nice Vietnamese traditional restaurant vibes.“
“My parents have been going to this restaurant since I remember; and my memory goes back to 2014-2015 I believe even earlier but for a fact 2014-2015Had really nice cheese wong-tongReally nice bah-mi.My parents love it, they had their own restaurant, so they can recognize when good food is being served.Parking: Free parking“
“We were out late and needed a quick dinner. Decided to come for Pho at 10pm and we were not disappointed. The food arrived quickly, portion was good and it was delicious! Really hit the spot. The meat in the pho was tender and wished there was more of it. Service was efficient and warm. Will return if in the area.“
“The food is pretty good, not the best pho though. Love that they have a Mongolian BBQ here. The service is good. The prices were ok. Maybe the portion of pho was a bit small although I haven't had pho in about a year so maybe it's changed everywhere.“
“First time here and I got to say it was amazing! I got the brisket and steak Pho. You make your order and then they give you a number and you go find a spot to sit. Right away someone brought out the soup garnishes chopsticks and even sauce. They brought out my soup very quickly I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. The bowl was huge! And very generous with the meat. I devoured the whole thing. Some of the best Pho in Orange County! I'm definitely coming back here and bringing my husband with me next time. The prices are very reasonable as well.“
“I live in las vegas. Phoholic is my favorite pho restaurant anywhere outside of Vietnam ??. Everything is fresh , broth is full of flavor. Sometimes when you come early they have "thit obama" . It's like a minced filet mignon "secret menu" sooo good, melts in your mouth.“
“What a great find in the most unexpected place. The food was fresh and the service lovely. The prices were reasonable and portion sizes good. They even customized a dish and offered a free sample of their Apple tea. I love supporting small businesses and this one is women owned which is fab. Will be visiting again.“
“While visiting Disneyland, I searched for and visited a Vietnamese restaurant.Located next to a shopping mall with Korean restaurants, about 20 minutes away by car.Parking is convenient and very friendly.The food prices are reasonable and above all, the portions are very large.I ordered large and had a lot left over, but ordering regular would still be enough.I recommend the rib rice noodles.Be careful because mix includes crucibles and parts.The taste of the rice noodles is pretty good, but the sweetness is quite strong, perhaps because of the American style.It would be nice to eat it once in a while when you get tired of American food.You can choose between thin and thick noodles.“
“Whenever I'm in Westminster, I try to drop by this gem. Parking is plenty, as it's next to the stater bros. This is the only place I will order the special banh mi over my go-to grilled pork. Everything in it has the perfect ratio, and I just... no notes. Get it. They also have a great selection of vietnamese pastries and goodies if you're more snackish than hungry. I recommend the cow cakes. They're so ploosh and the coconut syrup has a bit of saltiness. It's excellent. Customer service here is always superb.“
“This place has great food and is in a great location, I was promptly greeted and offered a table upon arrival, the guy taking our order was friendly and informative about the menu, unfortunately they lost one star because the lack of cleanliness in the restroom ? and restaurant was not clean and inviting.Dietary restrictions: They offered accommodations base on your diet restrictions“
“We come here almost every week for their pork belly in clay pot and Thai seafood soup. Their food consistently tastes delicious and the price is reasonable. In terms of customer service the waiters are very diligent and the owner is very friendly as well. One negative is parking can be a hassle to find at times. Other than that we have had a great experience overall coming here.“
“Great place for Hu Tieu in Little Saigon. one of the best spot for Hu Tieu. service is good. restaurant is a relative small place with small parking lot. recommend #1 they come with a soup bowl on the side. their veggies are fresh. nice thin slices of brisket with fresh shrimp . i like their pickled garlic. Price is at the average of the area. I also recommend the corn milk. would definitely go again“
“When I first tried a bahn mi sandwich, I was 15 years old, I was not in love until I had a @carrotanddaikon crispy pork belly bahn mi, then I was hooked and addictively in love!!! I got my parents and sister seriously hooked and this addiction is really affordable, with tax it's a little over $8! Lots of places I know charge double and it's nuts! The bread is always crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The combination of regular and spicy mayo hits the spot with a very generous layer pretty thick slices of crispy skinned pork belly, then the pile of pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, jalapeño slices and cilantro. All of that for around $8 and for me, it's too large that I share it with my mom or kids. There are over 20 different types of Bahn Mi sandwiches to pick from but the crispy pork belly is my FAVORITE! This spot also has great drinks such as the watermelon juice and if you feel you need caffeine, this spot also serves @whipdessertcafe coffee drinks. I enjoyed the Ube and Egg Cream Topped Latte! The best part now, this spot makes it so easy to order now either online or via their app! Just keep in mind, this is like a quick pick up spot and not really a chill spot.“
“Food was delicious pho tasted fresh meats were good spring rolls and peanut sauce were very tasty poor man was working all by himself it was very busy Vietnamese coffee was delicious would definitely go back and support this business ?“
“Went at 5:30-6:30 and there was no one in the restaurant. So as I sat down and ordered the shaken beef with fries not sure what to expect. However when the food came I was quite surprised with the quality, with the beef chunks being perfectly seasoned and tender as can be and the fries being crispy on the outside with a soft and warm interior. I went with family and ordered 5 other dishes, all of which also surpassed all expectations and left us satisfied and collectively agreeing this place is much too underrated for the quality and value of the food.“
“Went for lunch with my son. Had shrimp spring rolls and the chicken curry with baguettes. The spring rolls had a king of crunchy layer inside that made them truly irresistible. The curry was delicious! Not too spicy, the chicken was tender and delicious. We were full after eating half our servings, took the rest home. I did indulge in some delicious macaroons and pastries to go. All in all, it was a lovely and delicious experience the service was excellent...will definitely be coming here again!“
“Been trying to try out different banh mi shops all over OC to give smaller shops and different businesses my service. Found this place on Yelp nearby the area we were in. The man who's probably the owner was very nice although he didn't speak much English. He knew enough to take your order though. They have different bakeries on the counter and even a refrigerator full of cold goodies as well. I even saw frozen egg rolls to take home to fry yourself. I ordered 4 special dac biet banh mis at around ~$6.50 each which were decently priced because they're overpriced here in San Diego and very much so in Hawaii at $10 each which I recently got back from vacationing. I also grabbed a bakery item on the counter that looks good. I don't know what it was but it had a salted duck egg on top. I asked the man if it was sweet like a dessert and he said no but I'm not sure if he fully understood me. We ate the banh mi the next day since we always buy to bring back home. After refrigeration and microwaving it was still delicious and the bread was very soft and fluffy and not because it was soggy or anything. I should have taken a photo of the inside of the sandwich I ate but I was too hungry and forgot.“
“One of my favorite places to eat of all time. All of the pho on the menu are amazing and they give you big portions. My absolute favorite here is the vegan pho. My #1 comfort food! Atmosphere is so nice, and customer service has always been great and extremely friendly. They have good vegan and vegetarian options, some of which i prefer and im not even vegan! I've dined in and done take out here and the food is just as good every time. Stop by this place if you can! It's amazing.“
“First of all the food tastes amazing. They give you a choice of Southern Style or Northern Style Pho. What!! Who does that around here? Pho Flavor and the flavor is bomb! Their noodles are super fresh. I can tell they haven't been sitting in the back. I had my pho Northern Style. The flavor was bold. I loved it! Service was great and a cool ambiance inside to match.“
“Love this place.The food is so great , our favorites are the spring rolls , pate , and egg rollsWe have tried a lot of items and everything is always great.Amazing service too. Katie at the register is so helpful , we aren’t Vietnamese and she was so helpful with informing us more about the food“
“Delicious food wow! we finished everything !!! The Seafood is great quality here! The Cajun sauce is nice and fresh you can tell it's made with love... The prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is very clean I recommend the half sampler it was nice and filling for 2! Great for couples This place is definitely a Family friendly restaurant! (: we took our 1 year old and Lanny our server even went as far as giving our baby fruit snacks and oranges so he can also have a meal! Lanny helped us out she was so nice and attentive she refilled our drinks without having to flag her down as well and kept checking on us if we needed anything We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant when we are in the area! Don't miss out ! Check them out“
“To be quite honest, the area and the restaurant itself aren’t the… prettiest. The staff were kind though. You can feel it. I was a bit apprehensive about my father’s choice of restaurant but I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the food.The pho had a flavorful deepness to it that I’ve never tasted before at any other pho joint. Meaning, for me, this is the best pho I’ve tried so far in my life. I just wish they had a large size. I think the egg rolls were handmade too.My only gripe is that “sriracha”. Might as well not serve it?“
“The shaken beef salad was incredibly tasty. The beef was very tender and full of flavor, and the vegetables were all very fresh and had a light coating of a tangy sauce. Very nice atmosphere and the service was prompt too. Highly recommend this “
“Everything was freshly made, and delicious. Woke up craving Vietnamese (pho ga) chicken noodle soup this morning. Found this place on Magnolia in Little Saigon that serves it up right.The Chinese donuts are freshly fried and taste great with the broth and coffee.????“
“A hidden gem that reminds you of Hue, VN. I decided to give this restaurant a try because it was located in the same plaza as my go to Spa.I ordered their banh beo (rice cakes with shredded shrimp) and banh uot (rice rolls with steamed pork and veggies). Their dishes reminded me so much of my childhood trips to Vietnam. It tasted very authentic. The dishes were prepared to perfection. It took less than fifteen minutes to receive my order.The restaurant was small but very busy. I definitely will come back to dine in and try their noodle dishes. There are plenty of catered dishes to order from. The dishes were fairly priced. The orders were very fulfilling. Highly recommend!“
“Parking can be difficult as this place os located within a small strip.First time trying Goat pho which was really good as I was a bit skeptic at first.Broth is very clear and light which was perfectly balanced with just enough flavor. They do bring out extra additive I.e. srracha, hoisin, and fish sauce from the refrigerator.Meats were filled with an over abundance as the bowl is offered in one medium sized bowl.Meat ball - airy meatball with a slight bounce to the chew.Texture of the meat wasn't too chewy nor gamy at all.The overall experience is very pleasant, however you may feel hungry soon as usually pho doesn't curb an appetite for long.Not a big fan of curry so I wouldn't be able to give an honest review on their best seller.“
“One does not simply order Pho from any regular reataurant. During the chill of the winter months, one's pho must not only be hot enough to warm ones stomach, but the flavor must be equally satiating. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have been tired of subpar pho with equally poor service, I am glad to announce yo you all that your search for the best pho you've ever had is over.Not only is the broth steamy hot, but the specific flavoring this family restaurant utilizes is spectacular. You can tell that it is freshly made and that much effort has been expended to curate the best flavored broth I've EVER HAD. As a pho enjoyer, I can't believe I've never been here before.And if that is not enough, the lovely hostess/waitress, who is also part of the family that owns this business is the kindest and warmest soul I've ever had tend me at a Pho restaurant. The service is prompt, warm, and delivered with care. She's also very humorous and will engage with you in a little small talk!God bless this place. Do yourself a favor and warm yourself up with the most spectacular pho you've ever had.“
