Nha Trang - Monterey Park

How in the world did we step into one of the best noodle shops in the area? It felt like home. I’m currently in a food coma as I write this. The owner is very sweet and immediately welcomed us in, encouraged us to order first while we waited for a table. My husband and I order their pho and bun bo hue. We also got complimentary egg rolls, which were delicious. Hands down one of the best bowls of bun bo hue I’ve had in a long time. It’s one thing to get a good meal from a restaurant but it’s another to have one where you feel like you’re in your family’s kitchen. Incredible service and a hidden gem!

Great bun here. The pho was a little bland. The portion was super generous.

Bun bo Hue is a large and excellent restaurant that is perfect for a meal. While it would be outstanding in any other location outside of Los Angeles, there are simply too many great options for this type of cuisine in LA and Westminster. However, I would still recommend it.

The bungalow bo hue at Nha Trang was mediocre. The meat was not tender and was thinly sliced, unlike the 1/2" thick cuts I had in Saigon in 1974 which had a better texture and chew. The flavors were not strong enough. The steamed rice and beef dish became soggy after pouring fish sauce on it, making it less appetizing.

The bun bo hue is full of meat and flavor. The pork blood was extremely soft and juicy in my mouth, although my sister enjoyed it that way, so I suppose it's a matter of personal preference. The portions are large, as I was only able to eat 2/3 of my meal and had to take the rest to-go.
