Ghien Mi Go

We went here for lunch and it was packed. We had to wait a few minutes to be greeted and seated. The restaurant was clean and bustling. Our orders came out pretty quickly and portions were a bit disappointing if you order it dry style with a side of soup. I wish there were a bit more noodles for the Large portion that I ordered. Maybe if I ordered it as a noodle soup, it might have been better. Will have to return to try it again in that option. A lot of people were ordering the beef bones.

Authentic Vietnamese food. We order #10 yellow noodle dry with their special sauce tossed in the noodle and a small bowl ò soup on the side. It was so tasty!!! We also order the yellow noodle soup #19. The service was great, the workers were prompt and courteous! Definitely coming back for more!

I stopped by for the first time this afternoon a little after the lunch hour to avoid the rush. Easy parking - literally in front of the restaurant. I was greeted right when I walked in - no wait for party of 1. The environment is cute - the interior is warm and inviting. There's both regular tables and booths - which I prefer - since it sorta defines your personal space. The menu is simple - two pages - food on the front, drinks/dessert on the back. I was trying to decide between the Com Ga Hai Nam, or the Bun Bo Hue - went with the BBH when I found out the steamed chicken is served cold. Servers are friendly. I had just enough time to browse the menu and decide on what to get before someone came to take my order. They brought out my veggie/condiment plate shortly after my order. Soda Chanh - I knocked off a star for this since the drink was flat! There is a Vietnamese drink that is also called Da Chanh - which is fresh lemon squeezed water - but I definitely didn't order that one, since my Soda Chanh had a few bubbles in it initially. There was some hint of carbonation - but it was otherwise flat! Definitely was not refreshing at all. If I wanted boring water, I would've ordered tea or still water. The Bun Bo Hue though on the other hand - was awesome! Literally one of the better BBH's I've eaten in the area. I requested it without the cubed blood "pudding" - but kept the pork feet. Normally I order BBH without the blood and the feet, but I didn't want to deprive myself of protein in case they wouldn't sub the removed items with anything else. There was a good ratio of protein to noodles - but the broth was perfect. It had just the right amount of seasoning - spices, lemongrass to it. Protein wise - there were meatballs, beef shank, pork hock, and tendon. Generous cuts of tendon. It was amazing! Tendon is one of my favorite Vietnamese noodle soup toppings - and Ghien Mi Go did not disappoint. There were cuts of tendon that was just right (tendon can be overcooked/undercooked). The noodles were thick - like typical BBH noodles - thicker than pho noodles, but thinner than banh canh (udon) noodles. All of this, with the rich and flavorful broth base - made for an awesome bowl. My lunch was almost perfect. The flat soda chanh was a bit disappointing, but I'll either ask them whether there's a fresher soda water available - or just pick another drink to get. Service was great - I had a brief chat with the owner when I paid. Her colleague mentioned that the com ga can be served cold or warmed up (at the customer's discretion) - so I'll know for next time when I come to visit - and I definitely plan to come back in the very near future.

I’m not sure why this restaurant is always so crowded. I came here for lunch and the place was packed. I ordered the Hủ Tiếu Nước Thập Cẩm, and it was nothing special. The portion was disappointing, with very few toppings, mostly just a lot of broth and noodles! The cơm gà wasn’t good either. Usually, at other places, cơm gà comes with fried rice that has a nice golden color, good aroma, and well balanced seasoning. But here, they served plain white rice , lacking flavor, I’m not enjoyable. The chicken was also dry. At $19.45, I felt very overpriced for what I got. The restaurant was clean, but extremely noisy because it was so crowded. Service was fast, though. Parking was also easy to find when I visited.

I feel the bowl is smaller. I noticed the difference than when I was here before. Restaurants keep reducing meal portions and yet the price stay the same pr more. I didn’t eat here as often and now less after this. Only due to a childhood memory but overall nothing special here as far as taste especially the combination is just not like how Mi Go supposed to be. I can only eat one type here which is Mi Go only. Seriously bad !!!!!!! Hue Ky is the best place in Bolsa now for Mì with price matching portion size and quality taste.
