Bun Bo Way — Restaurant in Westminster

Typical Viet place. So expect that kind of service. Decent meal. Not too expensive ($7 average ).The bun bo hue (Central Viet nam spicy beef noodle) is a little salty ( broth cooked down all day? ) they give u just enough of the herb, bean sprouts and shredded banana blossom no fresh chillies though. Would love a bigger piece of lime so ask for more if u want more than a eighth of a lime. Service is quick...to the point..no fuss...no extra..just eat fast and go. I prob will eat here again since it is better than other places ..but make sure to ask for ice water or u will get plain luke warm water from the tap ..lol..there are some dessert options too ( traditional sweet bean dessert i.e. che and flan and Sam bo luong)..but after a two hours drive home from work ..I dont want chit chat or anything else ..give me my noodle soup quick ..nothing fancy. Also parking is a little difficult since it's in a strange little cubby hole. Pay at the cashier . Also they have other food such as banh canh and rice dishes ..but if you going to go to a place that specializes in beef noodle ..why have...

Ok noodle, but unpleasantly surprised by the heavy dose of MSG. It's as if the taste profile is stagnant in the 80s - heavily salted and MSG-ed like it's no tomorrow. The ambience is acceptable, and the place is decently clean with authentic enough food, but it's the bland bowl that irked me. Aside from the MSG, the herbs weren't used right and didn't leave the right note. A bowl of this price should have carried more finesse, especially in this part of California where the Vietnamese community is strong.

Good enough for a pinch, but not exactly recommended if you need your bun bo Hue fix and have time to go...

Fantastic place, I really enjoy their Bun Bo Hue. Their coffee isn’t half bad either. Their herbs, on point. A work colleague brought me somewhere else to try their Bun Bo Hue but I was disappointed, since this place has always had a special spot in my heart. Now that I live so far away, I find myself dreaming about this place and wish I lived closer. I also have to recommend their Bun Ngheo, the dry clam bun. You have no idea how lucky you are to have this place within your geographical reach. Same family runs it that always has. Order the large portion. I leave nothing behind on the plate whilst...
