Thien An Bo 7 Mon Restaurant

If you want to feel like you went to Vietnam go check this place out. Even if you dont speak vietnamese or know what to order just go and get the 7 courses meal. One is good for 2 ppl or so. We went as a party of 4 and order 2 courses plus a fish that was fileted. Not sure which dish it was as it was ordered by my friend. Also very fun dining as you get to make your own rolls any way you like. Might want to try a bit of the herb that looks like a heart shaped leaf. Literally called heart leaf i think. Even in vietnam they told me lots of vietnamese even arent fond of this. I personally like it but it is very strong. Also the hot pepper they have at the table is more spicy than you might think. Try a little first. Its not a fast meal. You can enjoy it over a couple of hours. Great for celebrations!

We were craving for the Vietnamese 7-course beef last Saturday, so we drove to the Thien An Bo 7 Mon location. Compared to their other spots, this one is huge inside. It’s super brightly lit and has many huge LED screens all over the walls. We got two orders of the Bo 7 Mon (7-Course Beef) for $35 each ($70 total). My hubby actually wanted to get three orders, but I knew that would be way too much food. Instead, I suggested getting a large order of Nem Chua Lợn (Vietnamese fermented pork sausage) for $23. We also ordered two Tsing Tao beers ($13 total). Our appetizer: Nem Chua Lợn came out first. Since we ordered the large order instead of the small size, the portion was huge. It tasted really good with a nice little spicy kick. It's definitely an acquired taste since it's fermented, so it might not be for everyone! The 7 beef courses: 1. Gỏi Bò Tôm (Beef & Shrimp Salad): This came out first. It had pickled carrots, daikon, celery, and red onions, and it tasted amazing with the crunchy shrimp chips. Super addictive. 2. Bò Nhúng Dấm (Beef in Vinegar Broth): Thinly sliced beef tenderloin cooked at the table in a vinegar broth, topped with egg and sliced onions. 3. Bò Nướng Vĩ (Lemongrass Beef Griddle): Marinated beef tenderloin cooked on a griddle right at the table. Honestly, I liked this way more than the vinegar hotpot. The lemongrass marinade made it so much more flavorful 4. Bò Nướng Mỡ Chài (Charbroiled Meatballs): Super juicy, spiced meatballs. 5. Bò Nướng Lá Lốt (Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaves): Charbroiled beef rolls wrapped in wild betel leaves. 6. Bò Chả Đùm (Steamed Beef Paste): A steamed beef patty with nuts and mushrooms, topped with sweet onions and served with shrimp chips. Courses 4, 5, and 6 all came out on the same plate. We loved all of them! They were packed with flavor, and wrapping them up in rice paper with fresh veggies was the best part. 7. Cháo Bò (Beef Rice Soup): A comforting beef and alphabet rice soup to finish the meal. Simple but tasted great. Overall, the service was just okay, but the food was solid. If you want a really filling, authentic Bò 7 Món experience in a huge modern space, this place hits the spot!

My family and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. I'm glad this restaurant is still going strong. This is our go-to place for ca nuong (fried fish)! Parking: There's a large parking lot. Finding a spot can be somewhat difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Perfect for groups of all sizes. It's a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. You'll know what I mean once you see the table cloths and chairs. Everything is kept well and clean. Service: We didn't catch anyone's names, but everyone was nice, quick, & efficient. Our server checked on us a few times to refill our teas and waters. They primarily speak Vietnamese, but they also understand and speak broken English. Food: Bringing your family for the 7 courses of beef is the perfect way to feed everyone and go home with a full belly. We also ordered grilled shrimp and grilled fish (my favorite)! The 7 courses include meats, mixed greens and pickled veggies, rice papers, soups, and sauces. We always enjoy everything and leave satisfied! If you didn't know how to wrap a rice paper roll, well you're gonna learn now! The sauce is one of the most important parts to ensure you have a delicious bite. Ironically, I don't dip my rolls in the sauces, so I have no advice for making a good sauce lmao. Start with a rice paper and dip it in the warm water. My biggest advice is to leave a tiny bit of rice paper off the edge of your plate, so it will be easier to roll later. Then, layer greens on top first. Each time you add a layer, always place it close to the edge of the rice paper. I always layer a cabbage first then basil leaves on top, then pickled veggies. Next, layer your choice of protein on top. Since we ordered a few different proteins, I had one of each. Don't overflow your layers bc it'll be difficult to wrap. Now, grab the edge of the rice paper and start rolling. When you're half way through, tuck in the sides, and continue rolling. You just made a rice paper roll! Enjoy! Pricing: Prices have definitely gone up over the years. Can't blame them for trying to operate in this economy. It can be expensive, but it's definitely worth it!

We ordered the 7 courses of beef (not all there in the picture) and the baked catfish. The catfish is cooked to perfection. This would definitely be on my last meals list.

Been coming here for years. Food is consistently delicious. Big venue that can get busy still. Definitely will return.
