Quán Vỹ Dạ Restaurant — Restaurant in Westminster

This place was packed with Vietnamese speaking diners so I think it must be pretty authentic.

The menu is in Vietnamese & English, and I did my homework beforehand, and let me tell you research pays off! Every single dish I ordered was fantastic.

🦀 2️⃣ Bún Riêu – $13.5 Vermicelli noodle soup with tomato, ground crab, pork blood, and tofu (+$2 for added snails) This crab noodle soup was a pleasant surprise. The broth wasn’t as heavy as I expected but still packed with flavor. It came with thin vermicelli noodles, crab paste, tomatoes, pork blood, tofu, and eggs. I also opted to add snails for an extra $2—totally worth it!

🥢 1️⃣7️⃣ Bánh Bèo Chến Vỹ Dạ – $13.5 Vy Da’s Steamed Rice Cakes with Ground Shrimp This dish came with 12 small plates, each holding a soft, chewy rice cake topped with crispy fried garlic and dried shrimp. The magic happens when you drizzle their house-made fish sauce over it—absolutely delicious! (And no funky fish sauce smell, just pure umami goodness!) Plus, it came with a side of crispy fried pork skin.

🍤 2️⃣0️⃣ Bánh Ít Ram – $13.5 Fried & Steamed Dumplings with Shrimp & Pork This one was mind-blowing! It’s a two-layered delight—the top is a chewy glutinous rice dumpling, while the bottom is a crispy fried base filled with crunchy shrimp and pork. Once you drizzle it with their sauce, it becomes the perfect combo of crispy, chewy, and savory. A must-order!

🥤 Thai Tea – $4 Surprisingly, this was the best Thai tea I’ve had at any Thai or Vietnamese restaurants in the area! Perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

Bonus: Free Herb & Lettuce Platter They serve a complimentary plate of fresh greens with the meal—love the authentic touch!

There are still so many dishes I want to try here, but I was way too full this time. One thing’s for sure is that Vietnamese food is so much more than just pho! Can’t wait to come back for round two.

A family friend recommended this place for BBH and its by far one of my favorite BBH experiences. The broth was rich in flavor. Meats were seasoned well and tender. When you finish it doesn't feel like MSG is stuck in your system at all. I came here around 10 AM and it was a busy Saturday. Tables were full, but my large party got seated fairly quickly. We ordered everything from BBH, beef with pork vermicelli bowl, banh cuon, coconut drinks, and banh beo chen. The banh beo here is a must order as well. Great in texture and they even provide the chicharron. Food quality and service is perfect. You get plenty of veggies for each soup dish. Servers are constantly clearing your table and refilling your drinks. With current Covid conditions they had the partitions between each table. When people say Westminister has some of the best Viet food. Quan Vy Da is a great example. You know a place is going to be good when they have fresh hot chilis and Maggi soy sauce waiting at your table. Highly recommend if you want classic Vietnamese dishes and...

Because the type of dishes Quan Vy Da served, I can't help myself but to compare this place to Ngu Binh. After looking around the restaurant, my guess is that this place specializes in Bun Bo Hue. When you talk about Bun Bo Hue, you often bring out Ngu Binh. Unfortunately, I didn't try Bun Bo Hue here but I will reflect my review on this item based on my friend who thought this place has as good bun bo hue as ngu binh. The portion seems little smaller but not as packed with other content but the broth and everything else is nothing short of good bowl of bun bo hue. I tried Bun Rieu with snails. I don't have much experience eating this dish but it was delicious! You can immediately separate a good reputable restaurant from the rest by looking at their ingredients. I can especially see their vegetables being fresh. I also get to try their combo vy da and it was good. I ordered My Quang last time I came but that was just average. This spot is definitely a good alternative to Ngu Binh and seems...
