Quan Bun Ban Mai – (714) 891-5397 or (714) 891-5367 – Westminster, 92683, Tues-Sun 8AM – 8PM
Can Bun Dac Biet (Khan Boon Dak Beak) – Famous for noodle soup, not the Pho Noodle kind but a seafood with vermicilli rice kind. Horribly stinky place located in the most littered strip mall/grocery complex of Little Saigon known as ABC Market and Bank of America. I’m not a seafood lover but my husband assures me this is the best Can Bun Dac Biet place. I normally order the bland Bun Thang (Boon Tan – Tan as in Tanya with out the ya on the end) which is shredded cha lua (vietnamese style sausage) and egg strips.

Bun Bo Hue So 1 – Westminster (714) 531-4475 – 15450 Brookhurst St, 92683
Bun Bo Hue (Boon Baw Way) – translates literally to Noodle Beef of the Hue region in Vietnam. This bowl of spicy soup is similar to a hearty bowl of the American beef stew except it is spicy and the medium round noodles are like spaghetti noodles. The “vegetables” are actually herbs like mint, bean sprouts, shredded banana plant leaves. There are pigs feet and fatty cuts of beef, cubed solidified blood, it tastes delicious but probably quite fattening.
