This place bún bò Huế is legit. The banh beo is good too. They have option of bun Bo with just thinly sliced beef too. Must try !!!

The place is small but feel very fresh and comfortable. The employees are friendly. I tried the Bun Bo Hue and it was good but the broth wasn't really rich in flavor, it's just like ok the taste is there but missing the wow factor. Portion is kinda big for 1, i like it. Definitely comeback, give it a try for yourself, you might love it.

Stopped by for lunch and loved it! We had a couple of appetizers and the bun bo hue and all were delicious. The hue food is very authentic. We loved that this was a small family owner business and the service was very good! :)

The bun bo hue with the beef tongue was delicious! And the banh beo was amazing, everything here is flavorful. The sugarcane drink with coconut is really refreshing. Friendly servers and a free soybean dessert, I highly recommend the food here!

Located off Euclid Street near the corner of Fifth Street in Santa Ana, Hue Kitchen is a cozy Central Vietnamese eatery specializing in beef noodle soup (bun bo hue). We didn't try this delicacy because we wanted to sample their other menu options including appetizers, rice dishes and beverages. Although the staff appeared to speak limited English, they were friendly and more than capable of providing an enjoyable dining experience. I tried one of the Hue Style Steamed Rice Cakes with Shrimp (Banh Beo Khay Hue) that my family ordered and it was quite the medley of ingredients atop a rice cake. I recommend topping with the included fish sauce and chili sauce for extra flavor. I personally ordered the Rotisserie Chicken Rice w/ House Special Sauce (Com Ga Roti Dac Biet), and I appreciate how crispy the chicken skin was and how fragrant the rice was. They also include cucumbers and pickled cabbage for a more balanced meal. I washed everything down with a refreshing strawberry sugarcane juice. They also include complimentary coconut pudding for dessert...oh yeah!
