Orange County has so many different varieties of food, so why is it so underrated?
Perhaps it's because not enough information is known about the restaurants in Orange County.
LA has area like Korea Town, Little Tokyo, and more.
SOO does Orange County, we even have Little Saigon and if you didn't know (because I didn't) we even have Little Arabia.
Before we go down that rabbit hole of what the food scene in Orange County is like... Let's start with some of my favorite Vietnamese food places to go.
Bánh Cuốn Lưu Luyến When I crave bánh cuốn, I will go here. They have come a long way since they opened. Their food is delicious, but their mung bean pandan drink is my favorite. Just be ready to wait to be seated because of how busy they are. You can also order takeout to avoid the wait. Avg price per person is $10-$20. This place is hidden in a plaza. 14351 N Euclid St #1j, Garden Grove, CA 92843 They close early, so be sure to plan accordingly. Sunday - Saturday : 8 AM - 4 PM Give them a call for catering or to go order: (714) 554-0212
Phở 79 They are a James Beard award restaurant. Not sure how many restaurants in Little Saigon can say that and it's for a good reason! I haven't been here in awhile, but I can still remember the umami taste of their phở broth. The wait can be long during their busy hours, but it's definitely worth it. Avg price per person is $10-$20. They're a cash only place. Go check out what this place is all about: 9941 Hazard Ave, Garden Grove, CA 92844 Hours.

Phúc Long Coffee & Tea his place gives me Vietnam vibes, and I like how spacious it is. I come here for meetings and to eat their banh mi. I haven't tried many of their drinks so I can't comment on that. Avg price per person is $1-$10.
