Food: ordered the duck porridge, 1/2 duck special order. It comes with big bowl of porridge, 1/2 duck, and big plate of gối. All were super delicious! On the table there is the sauce to eat with anything and everything. This special order comes with 1 refill of the porridge and 1 refill of the gối. However, the refill is about 3/4, not the full refill. It was more than enough for 2 people! Service: to the point Atmosphere: basic I would come back JUST for the duck porridge!

This spot is a cure for your weekend hangover (just not on Sunday). Their signature dish and also my fav is the half duck porridge. For less than $30, you'll get a bowl of porridge, cabbage mixture, the yummy juicy duck meat, and a refill of porridge and veggie. The line can be quite insane on the weekend. The decor and furniture could use some TLC!

Best midnight snack ever..! This place is open late and I drove here to eat some good Vietnamese food after touching down at LAX on a late night. I enjoyed the rice porridge with chicken and duck and it was delicious! The taste is very authentic and the chè is good too. The server was friendly. Perfect place to eat Vietnamese food!

CASH ONLY! Only 7 days a weeks, 10 AM-3 AM! 3.5/5 overall, but 5/5 for late-night cravings and quail balut CASH ONLY. Open 7 days a week, 10 AM to 3 AM! That alone earns this spot serious points for night owls and post-party cravings. We came here on Saturday, 7/19/2025 at 10:35 PM, party of seven after our cousin’s wedding dinner reception. Expect a wait during peak night hours, but tables turn fast, so it’s manageable. Overall: 3/5 for quality of food, 5/5 for rare menu and late-night hours. You don’t come here expecting top-tier cooking, but you do come here for those dishes you can’t find at most places, especially not past midnight. What we ordered: -Hot Vit Muối – $5: Standard, nothing memorable. -Củ Cải Muối – $7: Skip it. Tough texture and off-seasoned. -Cháo Ếch Singapore – $13: Lacked the bold flavors it’s known for, I don’t get the hype about this dish. -Cháo Lòng – $13: On the sweet side and a bit thin in texture for my taste. -Lòng Gà (L) – $12: My second favorite dish after the quail balut. Worth ordering again! -Giò Cháo Quẩy – $2.50: Stale. -Cút Lộn – $24 for 2 dozen: GET THIS! If you love duck balut, this is the jackpot!!!!! -Cánh Gà Rôti – $14: The chicken itself was standard, but the rice it came with was so flavorful I would order just the rice next time. -Cơm Gà Kho Gừng – $14: Forgettable. The sauce and texture lacked punch. -Bình Trà Nóng – $3: Cold, diluted, and not refilled. -Nước Đá Me – $5: More ice than tamarind. Skip. Cost Breakdown: -Subtotal: $112.50 -Automatic Gratuity (Party of 7 @18%): $20.25 -Total: $132.75 Final Notes: -If you’re Vietnamese, you’ll recognize this as classic nhậu-style food. Think drinking snacks, late-night bites, and comfort foods for hangovers or hard cravings. -Strip mall parking is free and plentiful before 11 PM. -Loud environment is expected—most folks are coming from bars and clubs. -Must Get For Balut Lovers and Intestines Chicken Lovers: Cút Lộn (quail balut) and Lòng Gà. -CASH ONLY SO BRING IT! Great for what it is: a place that’s open late and hits specific cravings you won’t find elsewhere in Garden Grove and Westminster area. Just don’t expect high-end cooking and top notch service.

This is the kind of restaurant you can’t forget after your first visit—it keeps you coming back! My favorite is their chicken/duck porridge, which I order every single time. Pair it with their youtiao (fried dough) and century egg—it’s unbeatable! A friend also recommended their pork chop rice, and it didn’t disappoint. Even though almost no one here speaks English, I keep coming back and have even learned how to say my favorite dishes in Vietnamese.
