It was my mom’s birthday and there’s only one place she likes to go – Brodard Chateau. She likes the fine dining environment, cleanliness, quiet ambience, friendly (clearly trained) customer service by young waiters and waitresses, and of course, the food. We started out with two sets of appetizers of seafood egg rolls …

Thien An, Bo 7 Mon Restaurant, Westminster, CA
I’ve eaten at Thien An several times but this is my first time reviewing the restaurant. Thien An restaurant specializes in 7 Courses of Beef, and that pretty much means what the name suggests. It’s a beef-lover’s heaven, that’s what it is. 😀 Beef is served in 7 different ways – beef salad, …

Pho Dakao, Anaheim, CA
I came to Pho Da Kao because my parents have mentioned they make good chicken pho. But since I’m not that big on pho, I thought I’d deviate a little and order something a little more meaty and less carbs-y (or is it ‘carb-y’?) Bun thit nuong (bun = vermicelli, thit nuong = …

Pho Lover, Fullerton, CA
Do you know what is popping up everywhere these days, other than Starbucks on every block? Pho. That’s right, pho. Pronounced “fuh”, not “foh” or “faw” or “po”. I simply do not understand. Pho (Vietnamese rice noodle soup) is usually not my first lunch or dinner choice. Maybe I just grew up eating …

Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan, Westminster, CA
I was craving for something noodle-y soup-y and it was either egg noodle or glass noodle (hu tieu) for me, my two preferred types of noodle. They’re tastier to me than vermicelli and pho noodles. Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan came to mind because they have both. It was either this place or My …

Saigon de Pho, Main Place, Santa Ana, CA
I must say, it’s a huge risk to open up a swanky new pho restaurant inside and in the middle of a shopping mall – not the food court – where there isn’t a lot of traffic, sometimes even on the weekends. If my aunt hadn’t told me about Saigon de Pho, I …

Loving Hut, Orange, CA
I’ve been eating so much meat the last couple weeks so I thought a little vegan food might give me a nice healthy refreshing break. I came to Loving Hut with my vegetarian mom for a vegan lunch after our little shopping trip. She had recommended this place to me before; not sure …

Pho House, Buena Park, CA
I don’t think I’ve ever had Vietnamese pho noodle soup at a Korean-owned restaurant before. So I figured I’d give it a try to see if they can make it as good as Vietnamese pho restaurants. And my verdict? Not so much. Pho House is owned and run by Korean folks but their …

Mon Ami Cafe, Garden Grove, CA
My entire family came to Mon Ami for dinner after attending my cousin’s high school graduation. We pretty much tore up the restaurant by taking up the whole half of the place. Good times! Because there were so many people, we were able to try a bunch of different Vietnamese and Vietnamese/French fusion dishes. …
