Best place for Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam!!! Every other shop seems to be a restaurant, so many great places to eat! Our favorites are Song Long for the grilled fish, Garlic and Chives for beef salad, garlic noodles, fried chicken appetizer, Phoholic for delicious pho-try the oxtail, Phat Ky for the best egg noodle soup-try handmade noodles, Van Restaurant for their famous Banh Xeo which is like a crispy coconut-taste crepe with shrimp, bean sprouts & ground pork, Tai Buu for the most delectable crispy fried chicken & special dipping sauce, Croissant Dore for the best Vietnamese beef stew ever, the list goes on and on!

Best an night market around. Authentic, delicious food. Be sure to use Google lens if you don't understand Vietnamese. Some vendors don't speak English but no matter, just order and go with it. Some vendors take credit cards but cash is big here so be ready. Lots of delicious seafood and non standard specialties as well. Along with your usual hotdogs and potatoes on a stick you will find things you may not normally eat or might not eat but look, everything her is being offered here because people find it delicious. You can find duck tongue, cows intestines and lobster and shrimp along woth more familiar items. You have the whole gamut of items available to eat. Lots of other things like toys, plants and home items are also gor sale. Come early to find parking and bring your stretchy pants!

Love it here! It seriously made me feel like I was back in Vietnam! So many options for food, it's overwhelming, but in a good way! We also stopped at the little mall for some jeweler... not a great deal but definitely cheaper than what I would pay in the Bay Area. We got some bahn bao, nam and cha... all really good!

What is there not to love about Little Saigon? It's basically it's own country. Founded mainly by refugees from the Vietnam war, they've brought their culture and food to California. And honestly, I think we're the lucky ones that have a chance to experience all the Vietnamese people have to share. Check Yelp for all the various Pho restaurants around, they aren't all created equal. Visit the Asian Mall, especially during the flower festival. And if you've never been to Vietnam, you HAVE to go to a grocery store and check out the meat section. For some shopping, feel free to barter a bit. The more you buy, the better deal they'll give you. If anything, have fun and enjoy the sights and the signage!

Such a vibrant neighborhood, with some incredible restaurants. If you aren't familiar with the breath of food you can find here, you must try for you will soon become enamored. You can start at The Asian Garden Mall and branch out from there. Wander and check out the places. Enjoy.

I was in here couple hours a go. It was crowded. Great place to visit. Love coming In here often. I reccomend.

I could give this five stars just for the massive number of restaurants in the area, surely more than anyone could visit in a lifetime, and much of it serving authentic fare for people that know what that is, not that I'm one of them. My experience other than driving through, eating dim sum with an extended Vietnamese family, visiting the Asian Flower Festival and going to the largest mall in the area, that about sums up my experience. So on my annual visits nearby at the Anaheim Convention Center I'm already making plans to return for my first bowl of Bun Cha. Damn if you can't get it in New York City or Queens that I've been able to find. What a shame. No problem here though. Can't wait to get back. This area rocks.

Great Restaurants, Bakeries and People! "Together We Build A Better Future" My 100th review. Bolsa, where three thriving bakeries can exist side by side in the same plaza. Bolsa, where you can have 5 pho places within walking distance and the only issues are the arguments amongst friends as to which one is better. Bolsa, it is not just a place but an experience. Bolsa is where people join with food and create a mosaic of diverse eateries bound together by the single element of "community." This is, and always has been, one of my favorite places to eat and socialize. It has many fond memories for me. Over the past few months I have been re-visiting the old places and discovering the new. The meanings of Bolsa vary from individual to individual and run deep. As such, the scope of this review is based only on the eating experience. Bolsa provides a limitless basket of flavorful dishes prepared by dedicated and talented hosts. These are hosts of family owned and operated restaurants, shops, and bakeries that treat you like family. These are the types of businesses where the owners talk to you, remember you and welcome you by name when you return. Bolsa and I are about the same age. As a neighbor of mine, I have seen Bolsa change greatly since I was a kid. My old friends used to refer to it as Khu Bolsa. I still call it "Bolsa" because that is how I remember it. ~~~Location/Brief History Orange County! Bolsa, so it can be argued, is bordered by the 22 Freeway/Trask on the North, Magnolia on the West, Euclid on the East and Mc Fadden on the South. However the community expands even beyond that. While Bolsa used to be primarily one street, Bolsa Avenue, it has now expanded over the entire city of Westminster and well into Garden Grove and parts of Fountain Valley and even Huntington Beach. This whole area is foodie wonderland and known for its great diversity and flavorful options for the curious palate. Bolsa is the embodiment of "community". The diversity and family environment makes this place unique. "Bolsa" began in the late 1970's with a few shops and a pharmacy. It has been growing ever since. "On June 17, 1988, then-Governor of California, George Deukmejian, came to Westminster and officially dedicated the name "Little Saigon" to the area bordered by Westminster Boulevard, Bolsa Avenue, Magnolia Street, and Euclid Street." (http://westminsterchamber.org/tourist/index.php ) I actually remember this. I guess this was when people started calling it "Little Saigon." In 1989, the City of Westminster designated "Little Saigon" as a tourist area . ~~~Highlights of the Area Bolsa has everything. Just a few of the unique aspects include the following: 1.The best bakeries and cafes in Southern California: In addition to authentic desserts, Bolsa has some of the best French food I have ever had including the pastries, baguettes, and café. The Vietnamese twist on these items are what the French could have only dreamed of coming up with. Bahn Mi and Cafe Sua Da are probably the best of the best! A few of my favorite places include Hein Khanh (Westminster Blvd.), Kang Loc(Bolsa Ave.), Le Versailles Boulangerie and Patisserie(Edinger/Bushard), Banh Mi Che Cali (Brookhurst near McFadden), Van's, Lily's, Top Baguette, and Thanh Tam. My favorite was the now closed Song Long (Bolsa). Back in the day, Song Long was the place! 2.Restaurants: Everyone has their own tastes. The fun part of Bolsa is trying all the places until you find your own favorites. A few of mine are: Uyen Thy Bistro, Favori Restaurant, Pho Nguyen Hue, Boiling Crab, Artist Crawfish, Pho 79 and 54, Seafood Cove, Quan Vy Da, My Nguyen, and Ngu Binh. 3.Food To Go: Hands down my favorites are Phuc Loc (where you can still get Café Su Da for $1.00 , Dakao Food to Go and Food to Go from the bakeries. 4.Nuoc Mia Vien Tay on Brookhurst (sugar cane): This place and its owners stand alone. Nothing but class and good sugar cane at this place! 5.There are several unique coffee houses, lounges, bars, and clubs.There are also many other unique businesses, parks, events, etc.There are also a couple of strawberry fields still around! Thank goodness for Yelp. Everyone has different tastes and favorites that can be reviewed by "Yelping!" I wanted to thank Yelp for providing such a wonderful platform for building a community of individuals who share their ideas, opinions and tastes with one another. I have posted several pictures of my favorite places and foods in "Bolsa." I hope other yelpers will do the same. So, over the years Bolsa has changed. I have many fond memories and have had great times. Some of the old places are still around and there are many new places. I realized that I have one last thing in common with Bolsa. Like Bolsa, I too have improved with time :)
