Quán Hỷ Restaurant — Restaurant in Westminster

Bun bo hue had no flavor AGAIN, and definitely not authentic, so i was very disappointed. As you can see from my picture, it looks just like plain old soup broth, not the dark spicy & flavorful broth that bun bo hue is famous for. The meat was extremely tough & impossibleto chew, so I tossed that to the side. Another disappointing visit of many here.

Their saving grace is their banh beo, but it's nearly impossible to screw that up. It seems that they offer less dishes of banh beo per order too.

Their MI Quang was really good the first time I had it a few years back, but the next two times I had it, it was so bland, watery, and sucked so bad, I never ordered again.

The food here is extremely inconsistent, so if you're ever craving a certain dish, and must have the real deal, go somewhere else. It's 50/50 gamble here. This has happened to me numerous times when I come here, no matter what I order, it could be pretty good one day, then totally sucks the next few visits.

I'll probably only come here for banh beo, and bun this nuong, since they're both easy to make, and doesn't require talent in the kitchen.

Their prices have gone up quite a bit. We usually pay around $37 each time we come, but this time it was about $50. Needless to say, we were pretty shocked when they rang us up.

They did change their hours to stay open till 9pm, from the ridiculous early hours before. They were taking last call at 7:30pm, and closing by 8pm up until recently. Eat here if you...

Update: Came back for more dishes. One little note: shrimp on bánh bèo had muddy flavor in some farm-raised seafood. Same good service, ty

This restaurant specialized in the central region of Viet food. We came there twice in two days to try different dishes. The host gave us warm welcomes both times, he intentionally chose a good table to give us some space from others (when he could). On our first day, we tried vegan yellow rice noodle #15 and vegan lemongrass rice noodles #14. Didn’t like #15, just a note to their chefs: there was a strong flavor coming from either (1st guess) too much of vegan mushroom seasoning, it likely gave this flavor in more concentrated broth or in fried rice if too much of it, and/or (2nd guess) quality of the noodles. I personally loved #14, the broth and other ingredients was great, best lemongrass Hue vegan noodle soup I had ever had (there might be mushroom seasoning in this also but not detected maybe cuz in clear, not concentrated broth), liked their fresh herbs/veggies. On our 2nd day, we tried and liked both #17 jackfruit salad (too little of jackfruits but still enjoyed other fresh ingredients in it) and #23 salmon with crab, shrimp cake soup noodles. I couldn’t find any crab in the bowl and couldn’t taste any crab in their shrimp cake either, it was still great though. Just being a little critical for their chefs to be aware. Overall, we liked our experiences,...

I can see this restaurant getting busy. Luckily when we went, there was seating right away!

We got the staple (#1 on the menu) Banh Beo. Made really well, flavors are good, the sauce it comes with is good but it actually tasted better with the nuoc cham sauce that came with eggrolls. Eggrolls (#9 on the menu) were very tasty! Came with the perfect leafy greens and leafy herbs. Wish the fry on them was crispier though. And we also got the Banh It Ram (#6 on the menu) which again tasted better with the nuoc cham sauce because the sauce it came with was the same as the Banh Beo. If you like the mochi chewy texture with crispy edges, you’ll like these! The filling was really good, definitely could’ve used more. And we tried the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. Just okay. They jam pack it too much with ice so you barely really even get any coffee. I also go the Pandan Vietnamese Coffee at the end (that menu was only seen at the cash register desk area) it wasn’t on the regular menu. This one was really good. Would order again!

Service was really great! Everyone was very nice. Very helpful. Didn’t rush us. Checked in on us. Super sweet with providing what we needed for our togo stuff too!

Parking is a super busy free...
