Très bon restaurant il faut arriver de bonne heure

Not my favorite place for Hu Tieu (it’s not fully comparable to that flavor I miss so much from Tung Kee Noodle house). They have a different flavor for their broth and it wasn’t what I was looking for. I’m sure they have other dishes I may have liked. The service is fast once you can get a server’s attention. However the food is lacking in flavor. I will have to keep trying other Vietnamese noodle houses. I can see why some people like this place as the portions are generous and the service is relatively fast. It just left me wanting more of a different noodle soup, similar to what I had when I was a child.

There was a line out the door when we arrived. It moves pretty fast, we waited about 3-4mins to get seated. The seats were a bit dirty with some residue of soup or sauce from previous patrons. The menu has lots of pictures. The soup is a bit too sweet for my taste personally. But, I still enjoyed all the items we ordered. The bean sprout and lime that came with our order were really fresh as it was really white and clean while the lime was not dried up. Parking wasn't too bad to find but the number of spots are limited. The service was friendly and fast.

No reservations, no signup lists, first come first served. Absolutely delicious Vietnamese/Chinese food. Eat the Crispy fried donuts by dipping them in your soup broth. One of us ordered the duck noodle soup and a couple of us ordered the #29 combination beef. I liked the small egg noodle best but my friends liked the big. You can get your noodles dry with the broth on the side or have it all already mixed together. We also ordered the Ox tail that just fell off the bone. The fried rice was delicious and nice to have as a side if you’re really hungry. Very filling, inexpensive, and fast service.

25年以上通いつめる友人の誘いで来店。昼を少し過ぎた時間なのにほぼ満席。
麺類と炒飯がメインのメニューで、大半が$13ほどと分かり易い。
麺の種類を選べたり、麺とスープを分けて注文も出来るらしい。日本の中華の味と違って優しい味なので食べ易い。
数人で訪れて取り皿でシェアして召し上がるのがお勧め。

Been going to this place with my dad since I was a kid. Haven't been here in a while and well they did a nice job on remodeling. The shuimai is why I come early because they sell out. This was one of the original spots in Bolsa and still think its a great place to eat. If you focus on the food, hasn't changed much. I don't see the old school people anymore as time changes however this place is legit. Thank you for being around.

I love fish ball and the soup taste good!

If there is ever a place I can safely say is my number one restaurant in all of the US, it would have to be this place, Trieu Chau. Yes, I am highly biased as this is the place my parent's would take us to growing up as kids and still continue to today. That childhood nostalgia and pure foodgasmic joy experience from each and every meal here is simply priceless.

Their noodle soup, is something I have not tasted anywhere else. Theirs is the best. My usual go to is either the #19 - Chao Chow or the #21 - Chao Chow with duck. Order some of their #05 - fried dough also to dip in your noodle soup and you will quickly find your place in a food heaven of flavors. Be warned, sometimes the fried dough sells out so come early. Today we also ordered the #01 - fried crab and shrimp ball, not my favorite, but a lot of my family craves this dish with a passion, and the one that they make here is superb. Another favorite here (I don't know which number) is their chow fun type stir fry dish with mix of beef and seafood (similar to pad see ew dish if you are familiar with the Thai variant).

There was about a 20 minute wait for our party of 4 to get a table on this Sunday morning around 10am. Service is always impeccable and efficient. My noodles quickly were absorbing all my soup and pretty soon I could not see much soup left. Asked the wait staff if I could get a small bowl of more soup stock and we quickly got that right away. Top notch place, with our 30+ years of loyalty of dining here year over year, we will continue to come here for many more years come. Try for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

P.S. Google has this categorized as Vietnamese, but I feel it is more closer to a Cambodian, Chinese, Vietnamese Restaurant.
