Small, new restaurant located next to Luc Dinh Ky II. They serve a number of vietnamese dishes, but the Chao Ca is good here. Chao Ca (CHOW KA) is a rice congee soup with fish Ca, or chicken Ga (Gaahh) that is normally served when one is sick like the American Chicken Noodle Soup, it is a comfort food that is good for those who have problems chewing.
The Bun Vit Sao Mang (Boon Veet Sow Mung) is good here too. That’s rice noodle soup with Duck and Bamboo Shoots.

Hot Pot City – Westminster – (714) 531-5402, 15606 Brookhurst St, Suite F, 92683, Fax: (714) 531-5404, http://hotpotcity-tablebbq.com

This Vietnamese buffet is similar to Korean BBQ places where you grill your own food at your table. It also serves a popular Vietnamese family style soup called Lau where a big boiling soup is placed in the center and you cook the meat and seafood and each person takes a little with rice noodle in their small bowls. The nice thing about this buffet is you only pay for how much you eat, you go to the back fridge, take plates of raw meat or veggies to your table and they count how many empty plates you have left to total your bill. Good for those people who don’t eat a lot.

It’s located next to the Coffee Factory, Taco Bell, and Quan Hop restaurants.

Huynh Restaurant – Westminster – (714) 531-7379 – 9500 Bolsa Ave # B,  92683

Another one of the new, modern Vietnamese restaurants that are popping up around Little Saigon. This one is surrounded by a bunch of new restaurants that hopefully will survive. Right on Bolsa Ave this little mom n’ pop restaurant is clean with good service and good food that is reasonably priced. They advertise their specialties as Bun Cha Ha Noi, Pho Ga, Cha Ca Thanh Long. I’ve only tried the Pho Ga and it’s ok, about on par as those other 50% off Pho Ga special places not as good as my favorite roach motel Pho 86. My husband is very fond of the Bun Oc (Boon Oak) here which is a noodle soup with snail meat. He says they serve more snail meat in the soup than most places. He also says the Com Phan Gia Dinh (Come Fun Ya Ding) is good here which is family style Vietnamese meals with a variety of soup, fish dish, meat dish, vegetable dish.

Hokkaido Buffet – (949) 851-5888

Posted by k on December 8, 2008

Hokkaido Buffet – (949) 851-5888 – 4200 Scott Drive, Newport Beach, 92660

This is a seafood buffet that has an unlimited sushi bar and crab/shrimp/n’ various sea creatures that seafood lovers love. There’s also the typical Chinese non-seafood stuff like fried rice, orange chicken, miso soup for land animal eaters only like myself. It’s comparable to Todai or Sumo – quasi-Japanese/Chinese buffets. There will be something for everyone but the biggest enjoyment will be for seafood/sushi lovers.

Hong Mai – Westminster – (714) 839-3368 – 9741 Bolsa Ave Ste. #114, 92683 – 1-888-HONGMAI

This is a small place more frequented by take out of orders of banh cuon (Bun Koon). Thin sheets of rice paper rolled around a ground pork and mushroom mixture served with fish sauce. I don’t like the banh cuon here as much as I like the Ban Cuon Tay Ho, the rice paper is much thinner and tastier. The bun vit sao mang(Bamboo noodle duck soup) is good here. Portions are small.

Hong An – Garden Grove  (714) 534-5384 or 534-5385  – 9862 Westminster Ave Suite B, 92843

Bo 7 Mon (Baw Bay Mong) Seven course beef dish. This is a popular large family style meal where you roll rice paper and lettuce with each of the 7 different beef courses. Many people like to order the fish Ca Nuong (Ka Noong) to go along with the beef dishes. A very large whole crispy fish.

Hu Tieu (Who Tew) – Clear soup with noodles and meat. Similar to Pho but the broth is much lighter and clearer. I like having this with the large noodles, ban lon (Bun Long).
