Authentic Vietnamese seafood restaurant located in Little Saigon. I was recommended go here by my Vietnamese friends, and it did not disappoint.
Definitely drink the pennywort drink, get some garlic noodles with steak, and try out the Vietnamese soups
There is a menu here in Vietnamese, but there is English right next to it so you know what’s inside it. Definitely get the crawfish!
Noodles in soup are B2G1 free, but each bowl is around $16+ while being smaller portions. Except for bun bo Hue, the other noodle bowls were basically just some noodle floating in MSG flavored water and a bit of protein. You have the option of overpriced sugary drinks, or you're forced to buy $1.50 Kirkland water bottles or $2 iced tea (mostly ice) with no refill. We should have stood up and left rather than put these unappetizing products into our bodies and paid for them. The place was empty around lunch when we arrived. The owner is a great salesman.
Food was exellent.
I was here with my mom food wasn’t so great she didn’t like Carmelize fish and Rau muốn xào tỏi it’s too bland and the soup really sour
Few Items to complain :
1-Charged for rice $7.50 ,it should come with the entrees . They served you very little rice and when you need more , they charged you!!!
2- a teapot for $6.99 this is a local restaurant not a 5 stars hotel restaurant, it should only be $1.99
3- credit card surcharge. $1.81. Should have a sign to inform customer who wants to pay with credit card.
SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT GO THERE- DIRTY PLACE, BAD FOOD- Take too long to serve. RIPPED OFF
Enjoying the good food and friendly service.

My aunt would take me and my cousins out here every time we come down to westminster. My favorite part is how friendly the people there are. Just a perfect 3rd space to hang out and have a nice meal

Food tasted good but overpriced. They charged over $12 for rice in addition to the entrees we ordered. They also charged for water too. They tried to charge for every little thing. ?

We are not Vietnamese, so this review does not target the authenticity of the food. It focuses on the flavor alone.We order three dishes - the catfish and pork belly in claypot, the beef cubes and noodle, and the steamed clams (mild).1. The catfish and pork in claypot was great! It pairs very well with rice, and I enjoyed every bite of the fish! The pork belly is not my personal favorite, though fam liked it.2. The beef cubes with noodle were good.3. The steamed clams were recommended by the waiter/owner. Clams were fresh, and the flavor was on the lighter side - we ordered mild.The drinks are around $5 each (non-alcoholic), and water is $1.5 a bottle (regular water isn’t available).A meal with three dishes, a side of rice, and two drinks come to be around $70. It is definitely on the precise side in Little Saigon area. Seafood does cost more, so the price is about right.
Parking: Parking can be challenging during dinner hours.

Quite generic home style Vietnamese restaurant. Got myself Bun Rieu. The broth was okay. It wasn't that flavorful, so I wasn't blown away. Their passion fruit juice was really refreshing though.
