I am somewhat a Viet food connoisseur and a picky eater.A popular restaurant with authentic tasty wholesome Northern Viet food, not over spiced, not overloaded with sugar and MSG. It's well known for banh xeo, a large crispy crepe with pork and shrimp and a large menu of noodle soups and rice dishes. Each item in the menu is a full meal and are under $8.It's not 5 stars facility but it beats all other Viet restaurants in So Cal by a wide margin in quality of food and values, recommended to local residents as well as visitors from out of state.

This was one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have ever been too - the place felt very authentic and a bit of controlled chaos. Service was prompt and friendly.But egg rolls ever! And the noodles with fish sauce were so yummy. Dishes are cheap - under $8

my wife, mom and I have been here twice now and man. we love it! especially when the Latinos say the vietnamese dishes. This nha hang is authentic. The foods are 5/5 its so hard for a restaurant to have so many dishes and they killed it! I really like the fried sweet potato fries and shrimp with nuoc mam. I like the com tam and bun rieu a lot! and I just love how my mom always orders the ban xeo. plates are always empty when we are done. the price is the best too! its not like other vietnamese places where portions can be too much and I weigh 190 pounds. definitely coming back!

Great food. Super authentic and homie Vietnamese food. Highly recommended. I have been told that this restaurant has been serving the community for more than 40 years.

Cheap and authentic food. Restaurant is a bit dirty feeling though

Disclaimer: This review is for the Banh Trung only.For years now this has been our family’s go to spot for year round Banh Trung. While this dish is super popular during tet, sometimes we just crave it in April, July, or November. We always swing buy and purchase a small Banh to go and enjoy at home. We eat it just as or pan fried or air fried. The flavors are always on point.Quick note: this place is SUPER busy during tet. We tried to cancel lace an order for Banh tet and they were always sold out. There was a line for people just to place orders for pick up at another time. If you do want to order, come early because the crowds do show up later in the day.

One of the worse experience we had. Reason for the 2 stars was because the foods are pretty tasty for reasonable price. We ordered banh xeo, the nuoc mam was not lidded and spilled all over. We ordered canh bun and my quang, both items were completely cold. We called and asked why the broth was not heated. The person answered the phone said since it was to go, they don't heat the broth. We have ordered food here before many times, it was never like this. They need better service. If this continues, we will prob stop coming...

This restaurant is very good. Bánh xèo is a popular dish and it’s quite cheap!!

Dry authentic Vietnamese food. Very low price and fast service
