Favori Restaurant — Restaurant in Garden Grove

My brother and I checked out Favori Restaurant 2 (Vietnamese French Cuisine) for their soft opening. We are happy that we did! This one is second generation runned. The moment you step inside, you are greeted with a modern design and a spacious layout that sets the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience.

Their soft opening menu is limited, but let us go ahead and talk about the food - where do I even begin? The Pho Ap Chao Don, Seafood is a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight. A little crunchier would have made it perfect for me! Perhaps, ask the customer how they prefer their Pho Ap Chao Don? The Bo Nuong La Lot is a culinary masterpiece, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. And do not even get me started on the Sup Mang Cua - it's like a warm hug for your soul. Adding white pepper would have made it a double warm hug! We also had the Bun Cha Ha Noi, Choui Chien Dot Ruou, and complimentary ice cream

But what truly sets Favori 2 apart is the personable, amazing, and downright funny Alex. From his witty banter to his genuine passion for food, Alex elevates the dining experience to a whole new level. He demonstrated unwavering honesty, provided exceptional recommendations, and was the epitome of an exemplary server. You can tell he genuinely cares about each and every guest, making sure they leave with a smile on their face and a belly full of delicious food.

And let's not forget about the secret menu drink - it's like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Trust me, you'll want to ask Alex about the Dau Biec.

So, if you are looking for a dining experience that combines mouthwatering cuisine, impeccable service, and a touch of humor, look no further than Favori 2 Vietnamese French Cuisine You won't be...

Let me just start by saying: my mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Writing this review is emotional.

First off, the service? Top-notch — friendly, attentive, and fast. But let’s be honest… we’re all here for the fish. This is the main event. The eye of the tiger. The reason people make the pilgrimage.

Perfectly crispy on the outside with just a hint of sweetness, and tender, savory fish on the inside that practically melts in your mouth. Wrap it all up with fresh herbs, crunchy lettuce, and your choice of dipping sauce, and it’s game over. A flavor combo that slaps in every language.

This isn’t just a dish — it’s a requirement for any seafood lover. No other place does fish like this. Period.

Oh, and a quick side note: don’t sleep on the marinated beef in lemon. But honestly? Skip the small talk. Order the large fish and eat...

I recently planned a birthday dinner here for 12 people. We had the signature dish of oven roasted crispy skin catfish, rolled in rice paper with all the fixings for the main course. Appetizer was the rare beef slices marinated in lemon juice and we finished off with the seafood hot pot. All was delicious! We also brought in a birthday cake for dessert. Service was fast and attentive. This was my first time at this new location and I was happy with the food and level of service! Will definitely come back to try...
