This was during its grand opening and there was a line already. It's in an area next to 7-11. The place used to be a Vietnamese restaurant. This place is known for its famous Legend Coffee...that's popular in Viet Nam. It's $10 bucks and it can only be dine-in only. Order like 3 drinks and that's it. The wait was long. Over 30 minutes and understand why: they forgot my drink. Was it worth the wait? No. It's nothing special and it's subpar compare to other coffee places. Don't recommend it and won't be coming back ever again

A nice place to come get strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The place is fancy and well decorated. Staff are friendly and tables are clean and inviting. I love their classic Vietnamese Coffee. It is strong so be sure to let the ice melt a little so it's not too strong or bitter. I will definitely come back here to get some more coffee drinks. The plaza has adequate parking and not too crowded.

Came here three weeks in a row for their Vietnamese white coffee. My partner likes their pandan and I enjoyed their Vietnamese egg coffee too

The service here is great but to be frank the drinks are nothing special. The price point is relatively fair but of the drinks I got there wasn't any that stood out or that i'd come back for. This place is really popular though so there can be a wait but the servers/service is really good with getting you your drinks in a timely manner. For a lot of Vietnamese places there seems to be a love for unnecessary toppings and honestly there should be a price discrepancy should a customer decide against the included topping. The place is spacious but parking is limited and it does get busy so likely there won't be seating but overall it's new and clean.

I have been drinking this brand of coffee for a while now, so I don't know how I never realized that they have many cafes in Vietnam. Nonetheless, I am glad to try this new location in Little Saigon. The decorations are very reminiscent of cafes in the homeland for sure, very spot on. The culture of coffee and hanging out at cafes is huge in Vietnam, so the long line and bustling shop on a Saturday morning didn't surprise me. Despite the crowd, service was relatively quick and the staff was very nice. The Vietnamese Egg Coffee was good--strong and decadent--and the egg did not taste weird. I have not decided if it is better than that from Davien's, so TBD. The Tiramisu Coffee with Coffee Jelly was also good, although the Tiramisu flavors (also coffee) felt redundant to me. The Pandan Latte with Coffee Jelly was disappointing because I could not taste (nor see) any pandan in there. Lattes are mainly milk, so the bright green color of the pandan should have been the star of the whole drink, but she was missing. I am open to coming back to try the Creative series since they have intrigued me, but we shall see.

Amazing. Loved it. Can't wait to go back. Wish I were there now. Could really go for an iced cafe sua da.

It's a good place for coffee stop. Their coffee is very dark. Service was very fast. Cozy and quiet place.

Stopped by the 2nd time recently for the Pandan tea with lotus seeds. I made sure this time there were some lotus seeds in the drink. $6.50 for a Trà lá nếp sen vàng wasnt too bad. This drink reminded me of Golden lotus tea from High Land in Vietnam, but i like this version better. Besides some nutty lotus seeds there were few slices of water chestnuts which added some crunchiness to the creamy and fragrant drink. Also i had to ask for sweet adjustment. I dont like extra sweet drinks. It was perfect. The only down size is the size itself. I might need to order 2 the next time I'm there

2nd time visit and the coffee was custom made the way I like it. friendly staff wanted to make sure I was happy. Will be a regular coffee stop for me.
Stopped by around 11 AM on a weekday and there was no line, decent parking in the plaza lot. The interior was nicely decorated with a good number of seats. We got the tiramisu latte and the Pandan latte, both had a deep rich coffee flavor! The Pandan latte had a strong Pandan flavor to it, the tiramisu syrup wasn't as strong but was still good. I like how the drinks came with coffee jelly, but they are on the pricier side. They also have packaged coffee beans for sale for a good price.

Having missed out on Trung Nguyen during my visit to Ho Chi Minh City a few years ago, I'm glad they've opened a location in OC so I can try their drinks. Opting for the iced egg coffee with regular sugar, I was taken aback by its incredibly robust flavor--it's perhaps the strongest Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. While possibly perfect for coffee aficionados, I had to let the ice melt so I could finish the drink. Next time if I were to go back, I'd try a non-coffee drink like soursop tea. Service was impressively prompt; after ordering, my drink was ready for pickup within a minute.

It's not a bad place. We went for the egg coffee, but to be honest, I wasn't a fan of their egg cream since I've had better.

The coffee here is good and the easy ice is easy enough for me to come back a few times a week. Bac xieu -creamy and doesn't have the rich coffee flavors Coffee and condensed milk -it's like the lees sandwiches coffee but better. I love how thick it taste and the coffee flavors are strong Would return for both

Finally got to try this Vietnamese coffee recommended by a friend and although I wouldn't say it's worth the drive and the price, but it was such an experience. It was quite shocking that the coffee itself is about 10 bucks and it comes in a very small portion if you if you don't want to add ice. We didn't know what to expect so when the coffee came, we just let it dripping and dripping and we were not sure when it's going to stop lol. The coffee with and with the condensed milk and it's an interesting and strong taste of Vietnamese coffee. they have a lot of variety of the coffee drinks, and the staff is friendly enough to explain to me what's the differences among all of them. you only can order the legend coffee for dine in because the dripping will take a long time. That's why if you want to hang out, you should order the legend but if you are in a hurry, maybe you should order something else. the shop was quiet full for a rainy day. There's plenty of parking in the plaza too.
