Cool, I live right near the westminster mall. The huntington Beach side. lol

Where do you find some good bò lúc lac at? Have you eaten at lùc đinh ký before? They have some good bò lúc lac. What about brodard? Their famous for their delicious nêm cuốn.

What about restaurant's you don't like? I don't like Phở Thành on Bolsa in between Bushard and Brookhurst. Lùc đinh ký is right across the street from Phở Thành. Top Baguette is good for some Bánh Mì. It's on the corner of Bolsa/Magnolia. My favorite place for Cơm Tám is Cơm Tám Thuân Kiều. It's also on Bolsa/Magnolia in the same plaza as the Bank of America/ABC supermarket.

Oh and I'm ethnically full vietnamese, but I was born and raised in orange county.

Wow I had bò lúc lac at brodard about 3 months ago!!! I notice that at least it seems to me that every restaurant has different bò lúc lac, some use green peppers like Pho 54, some have no tomatoes, etc. As for restaurants that I do not like, the only one that I can think of is Pho Hoa, and I think that it is a national chain. I also eat bò lúc lac sometimes at I think Pho Saigon in Artesia. Haha this is weird I wake up at 2:45am and my PC is on and I see this!!!! I will have to try lùc đinh ký, I never ate there before!!

Well more about me is that I moved out here in 1984! Lived in various places in LA county and then moved to BP in 2001!

Welcome to the forum, Choyak!

I got the advice about Thanh Lich's pho filet mignon from KnightRiderBMW a little while back, but did not have a chance to try it. After your comment, I will have to try soon. My pho blood is boiling!!

lol glad you liked it! You had it at Pho Thanh Lich right?

LacHong · December 1st, 2005, 03:07 PM

Vietnamese food is the best food in the world, nutritious, more choices, and great taste. I am glad that I am Vietnamese.

Baria · December 1st, 2005, 03:13 PM

Thank you, KnightRiderBMW. I had pho filet mignon right where you recomented, Pho Thanh Lich. It was so great that my family and friends knows about it already. Thanks to my mouth!

I'm glad I'm, too, LacHong.

choyak · December 2nd, 2005, 06:47 AM

Yeah, I enjoy Vietnamese food quite a bit. Having several Vietnamese friends helps also!!! I just love going just to eat and enjoy such a huge variety, even though I enjoy Chinese food also!!!

Baria · December 3rd, 2005, 04:37 AM

It won't hurt to try more! I also love Persian food, with a little belly dancing entertainment.

I like dim sum. Since you and Baria are both from socal, which place is your favorite for dim sum?

welcome to the forum! What is your name?

I went to Vung Tau with my cousins and aunt a few months ago on my first ever trip to Vietnam. I went to a restaurant there and it seemed as if there were almost 200 people in the restaurant! The beach isn't as nice as other beaches in Vietnam, but Vung Tau seems to be the closest beach destination for Saigon locals.

Baria · December 3rd, 2005, 03:23 PM

violentstorm_vietnam, I used to live in Ba Ria, as you can see my screen name.

Welcome to the forum.

choyak · December 4th, 2005, 04:29 AM

My favorite places for dim sum are Empress Pavilion in Chinatown or Ocean Star in Monterey Park. If I have not the time then I go to something like Furiwa at westminster and brookhurst

Baria · December 4th, 2005, 04:35 AM

Choyak, try dim sum at Dragon Phoenix (Long Phung Lau) Restaurant on Bolsa. I believe it's better.

I go there quite often.

In fact, I was just there last weekend. Good stuff.

I heard there's supposed to be a really good dim sum place in rowland heights, but I haven't tried it out yet.

Also there is a really good dim sum place near John Wayne Airport. It's called Russell's Seafood Palace. A little on the pricey side. But good food!
