Saying I drove 2.5hrs on a Saturday morning just to have beef stew and bread for breakfast/lunch might throw some people off but honestly its more than worth the drive. I first came to this restaurant with my wife and every other time has been fantastic. The beef stew is absolutely packed with flavor and the meat is very tender. I appreciate the carrots and fresh jalapeños which add texture and some much needed heat to the meal. The baguette was very fresh, crunchy (I guess is the right word) on the outside and so soft in the center. It did a wonderful job of soaking every drop of the stew. I will absolutely be returning any chance I get, even if it means another 2.5hr roadtrip.

Beef stew with bread is awesome here. You get a great deal for the money. Serviceis not very good because they don't care. They are very popular already. It's sad because they are a world class restaurant with bad service. Such a turn off.

My go-to place for good coffee, and Banh mi bo kho. My weekly place to unwind. Noodles are very good too, very nice people.

It's a good breakfast spot, but the guys that hang out here to have coffee and gossip have ruined it for patrons that are there to eat and go. Those "guys" would sit there for hours and hours taking up valuable space. Nice when they order food and drinks, but often it's water or coffee or nothing. Well, it's caused the place to charge for tap water. Yes, $1.50 for a cup of iced tap water. And the staff won't tell you they charge for water. It just shows up when you check out.

The hu tieu bo kho noodles were slightly undercooked, which affected the overall experience. The hu tieu nam vang had a somewhat plain flavor, lacking the vibrant taste I expected. On a positive note, the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere felt reminiscent of a deli, which wasn't too bad for a morning meal. Overall, I just wish the food had a bit more flavor to elevate the experience.

Just no . Very understaff. Two places connected in one . Its very old outdated very dirty outside sitting is view on the parking lot and road . Parking is always full . The food was way too spicy and way too salty couldnt taste a think . The " beef" was mainly chunk of fat which were inedible . Dont bother with those cakes and croissant no respectable patissier would dare to put that out . They looked very sad depressing and homemade . The croissant are even worse . If you want TRUE AUTHENTIC french sweets go to moulin in newport beach . Very disappointed by the food i had better vietnamese food in mom and pop restaurent . Its also grossly overpriced over 10$ for 3 eggs ?! Lol the staff was unplesant not helpful and didnt looked miserable working there . Didnt feel welcome . Will not go back . If you want TRUE GOOD vietnamese food there are plenty of better ones in garden grove / westminster area. Skip this one

Hidden gem hole in a wall place to have a delicious home cook-like meal especially when it's cold out. The beef stew was so full of flavor and tender. The curry chicken was also delicious! The pate chaud reminds me of a meat filled steam bun but with a flakey outside instead of the steam dough. Everything was so good! Will definitely be going here more often! ?
Parking: Located in a Plaza with plenty of parking
Kid-friendliness: Lots of food, drink and dessert choices the kids will enjoy!
