Their bun Bo hue is deliciously good. Very consistent every time I go. Their service is fast and friendly. I only wish they provide more vegetables but it is nice that their vegetables are already cleaned and prepared to be eaten. The atmosphere is small and feels crowded like their Bolsa location in California. They don't offer the short ribs like their Southern California location. This place is my back up place to go for bun bo hue.
The best bun bo hue place is OC!! My parents drive here from LA just to eat here. The soup is so flavorful and the bowls are filled the brim with noodles and meat. I don't even eat the bun Bo hue in LA anymore because it can't compare. Parking here is horrendous, the plaza/parking is huge but there's also a supermarket so you're fighting for your spot every time. I always get the dac biet, has never done me wrong!
The best bun bo hue I've had, not just in the OC. Fresh garnishes and the broth is so tasty.
As a Vietnamese American, I have chosen this place to represent the national Vietnam team bun Bo hue. Best bun Bo hue I have ever tasted. Better than my mom's. Sorry mom. Also I love how can you can choose to get a beef rib on the side. The customer service is quick and it's get in and get out type restaurant.
Came here for dinner on Saturday, and there was no wait. I got the Hu Tieu/Mi Thap Com (noodles with fish filet, fish balls, shrimp, and pork shank). For the price of $15, it was filling and satisfying. The pork shank was tender, but the pieces were very small. The rest of the protein was solid. The soup had a good flavor, but didn't particularly blow my mind. I tried my boyfriend's dish (the original Hue), and it wasn't too spicy. I actually preferred the taste of his soup.
Best place for bún bò Huế! The food here is really tasty and is the closest to the authentic Huế style. The broth is flavorful and isn't bland like most. They also provide you a plate of veggies that go with the dish. The restaurant is pretty standard to all the other ones. The decoration and vibe is kind of retro and urban with a lot of wood. The location is in a plaza so you should be able to find parking, but the restaurant itself is fairly small. Somehow, it still manages to hold a decent amount of tables. The only downside is that the price is quite high for such a small portion. I was definitely expecting a lot more that what I got. Also, my family noticed that they didn't give us any pork blood (huyết) at all. This is a very important ingredient for bún bò Huế. We're not sure what happened because they gave it to us the previous times we've been there. Overall, service could definitely be better but the food is good.
The good: Something I love about Vietnamese noodle soup dishes is the complexity of the flavors and their addition of fresh and raw herbs and vegetables. BBH definitely has the components. The broth was less spicy than normal BBH at other spots so my 2 year old daughter was able to eat it. You can amp up the heat with chili sauce they give you on the side. I liked the lemongrass flavor and how it came with plenty of vegetables (banana flower) and lime. The price was great (much cheaper than San Jose BBH). The bowl came with the blood patty and pig feet. The bad: The meat was a little tough. The interesting: They sell pho too. My Japanese nanny tried it as her first BBH and thought the broth was sour.
