19 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Santa Ana

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Great Vietnames spot! Ice coffee was on point, on the stronger side so beware but delicious with just the right amount of sweetness and cream.Egg rolls were freshly fried ?The best was the porridge, I had chicken and hubby had the one with intestine. Get the "donut" (bread) to dip in the porridge.Staff was friendly and helped us understand the menu- Thank You!!During July they have their soft opening special and offer 20% your entire purchase - and free tote bag with a purchase of $50+ ?Will stop by again!“

“This place is really amazing! Great food and hours for us "Night Owls" who eat late..... The pork and shrimp bowls are very filling and tasty and the Garlic Noodles and Crawfish Pasta are great! The marinated grilled pork Ban Mi sandwich is also a favorite. Interesting assortment of cold tea drinks as well. Oops, almost forgot the addictive, crispy egg rolls and Bai buns - a MUST try! Super friendly staff and fast service!“

“Got a vermicelli with eggroll, shrimp and chicken. Wow! Huge peice of perfectly juicy and tasty chicken. 3 shrimp on a skewer. Loved the amount of peanuts in the dish! 100% reccomend. Also go a plain pho, hot dark and flavorful pho. The herbs and spices give it a deep flavor. Must try! Chilie sauces are sooo good, they taste almost home made.“

“I have been coming here since the late 1990s. Back then the sandwiches were buy 2 get one free for a total of $3. Sandwiches excellent and dishes are excellent. Just got the Extra Large Bowl of Pho for $11.50. Be grateful SO Cal because in San Jose a bowl like that goes for $18! Great prices and quality! Manage your expectations. I used to shop restaurants like Reuben’s and Charley Brown’s (late 80s). Service and follow ups aren’t the same. Same applies to Monterey Park.“

“Still the best place to get noodles. I have noticed that the menu has been condensed significantly and they don't have as much on the menu.“

“I just got home from eating and decided to review it right away so it's hot. Broken rice is delicious in both form and content ?, service is cute, attentive and enthusiastic. There's so much food that you can't breathe. Recommend everyone should try. ❤️“

“This is a supposed to be an authentic Pho restaurant that was originally from Saigon, Vietnam. They are famous with their Pho and Banh Uot. We found the Pho was OK, not too bad but not a wow using the original Vietnamese pho standards. The Banh Uot was really good. The portion was not as much as other places but the taste was better. The restaurant is quite large and has many inside seats. Plenty of parking spaces. This is a handicap friendly facility.“

“Salmon Many leading nutritionist consider salmon to be one the best foods you can eat. Thanks to an array of healthy nutrients along with a punch of protein, salmon is a fantastic food for anyone looking to eat healthier or lose weight. And thanks to its flavor and texture, you can cook salmon in endless ways. Salmon is famous for its omega-3 fatty acids. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability.” But the benefits of eating salmon extend far beyond those omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon also provides bioactive peptides. These improve joint cartilage health, increase insulin effectiveness, and control the inflammation of the digestive tract. Luckily, salmon is delicious both hot and cold. It’s a perfect family meal that pairs well with other high nutrient foods like spinach and black beans. Plus you can use spices like mustard and ginger to make the meal all the more appealing. Lastly, salmon is delicious when served cold on salads. So whether you are eating your dinner in a restaurant or eating it at home, the leftover salmon will make for a healthy lunch the next day.“

“This place is very nice in terms of the amount of tv's, tables, architecture and girls. I come to study, watch a game and/or order food since its in such nice plaza with lots of restaurants such as Tastea, KFC, Chipotle, McDonalds. Girls are very friendly and customer-service oriented too.“

“Good food, good drink. Staff is nice“

“the strippers so perfect so pretty“

“Upon stepping into the shop, you're pleasantly hit with the fragrances of freshly baked bread, herbs & succulent meats. The ambiance is light, and the service is prompt & friendly.

Thanks THH for providing exceptional food, a clean joint & the service speedy. Can't wait to come back!“
