YoYo Banh Khot — Restaurant in Garden Grove

We discovered Yoyo Bánh Khọt a few months ago and have been here 4 times already. This place is always nice and clean, prices are reasonable, and customer service is better than many other Vietnamese mom & pop stores.

We ordered 2 orders of bánh khọt (mini shrimp pancakes) and 1 small order of chả giò (egg rolls) for the 2 of us to share. We also ordered 2 more bánh khọt to go.

All was good! The bánh khọt is not as thin and crisp compared to other bánh khọt places, but good enough. They give more greens (lettuce, perilla, mint, cilantro) compared to other places. Chả giò lacked flavor, a bit bland, not much meat, and deep fried just right (although we prefer a bit more crunchy). But the egg rolls were of good size and great for the price charged. (Under $2 for each roll and comes with plenty of greens).

The nước mắm (fish sauce) was not always consistent. Sometimes, it was a tad too salty. Most of the time, it was just right. This means it's freshly made (?).

Foods served with small individual bowls of nước mắm and small individual plates to share without having to ask for them, which is great!

The servers are always friendly, which is what we like most about this place.

Give this place a try next time...

I have to say they have the best oc len xao dua in my opinion. I've tried oc len at oc va lau and a few more famous places in OC but this is the best place so far. Banh khot is also good, its fresh made and the nuoc mam is good. I really like all the vegetable wraps they gave us various types just like in vietnam. Pha lau is okay, good thing is its very clean, the broth today was somehow salty but its not that big of a deal, the banh mi they gave us with it is crispy and hot. Overall, the space is kinda small but very clean and the staffs are friendly. The price is amazing!!! 3 dishes for around ~$38 (approximately $12 per dish). Please give it a try because I we didn't plan to go there in the first place and still was...

Ok guys... don't let 3.7 stars review fool you, they should have 7.3 stars instead. Beef rice is the best in town, banh khot is much better I though (if you have banh xeo before and you love it to death, this is double as good). Not everyone can handle snail but I can, so having this in the menu give them another plus from me. I am too full to keep writting, so just bring couple of friends here and enjoy. Defenetely be back for samon rice and shimp fried rice because that was recommended by another customer, and they looks tasty too. Oh, and the crispy pork belly would defenitely my style, but they only have it on...
