Bún bò huế NHỨT VỊ is a Vietnamese restaurant tucked into the bustling strip along Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove, serving up a focused menu that leans heavily on the rich, spicy flavors of central Vietnam’s signature dish, bún bò huế. The setting itself offers a casual, relaxed atmosphere enhanced by soft jazzy music, making it a comfortable spot for both quick lunches and unhurried dinners.

This place draws in people who appreciate traditional Vietnamese noodle soups with hearty portions and fresh ingredients. The bún bò huế here is often praised for balancing plenty of meat, noodles, and an array of fresh vegetables like ong choy, which adds a noticeable brightness to each bowl. While the broth carries a hint of sweetness in some dishes, the overall flavor profile stays true to form—spicy yet soothing.

The menu keeps it simple with around five main dishes, including the crispy garlic chicken with rice, duck salad combos, and stir-fried pork intestines with turmeric—options that highlight regional Vietnamese preparations beyond just noodle soups. Those looking for something lighter or warming might try the rice congee or special combos served with choice of vermicelli or glass noodles. Additionally, the selection of drinks like passion fruit juice, peach tea, and traditional Vietnamese yogurt rounds out the meal well.

Service speed is noted as brisk, making it a reliable stop when hunger strikes and time is tight. Customers have sensed a boost in service and overall food quality since new management took over in 2025, with occasional perks like complimentary desserts or drinks when paying with cash adding a touch of warmth to the experience.

Visitors should be aware that parking can be a challenge during peak hours, as the restaurant sits in a busy shopping center. Midday or early evening visits on weekdays might offer a more relaxed environment. The interior is clean and orderly, and the welcoming staff contribute to a pleasant dining experience suited for families, couples, or solo diners who want an authentic taste of Hue-style Vietnamese cuisine.

The bun bo hue was very delicious and there was plenty of veggies, meat, and noodles. I was able to enjoy good amount and portions of each ingredient per spoonful. Also had the peach tee which was refreshing. All around great food, service, and atmosphere and worth a stop if you’re looking for some bun bo hue in the area.

Changed management in 2025, and it’s much better than before. Great food and portions with very good bun bo hue. Everyone in my family enjoyed the food and desserts. The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant with cute jazzy music playing and the customer service was excellent. Food was served incredibly fast and they also offered us free desserts if we paid for the meal with cash. I will definitely return for dinner again.

Their Bún Bò Huế was delicious, with plenty of veggies, including ong choy, which I haven’t seen at other places meat, and noodles in every spoonful. A little sweet for my taste, but still very enjoyable. Food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. I also enjoyed a promotion where paying cash got me a free drink. The only downside is parking; even on slow days, the complex is crowded.

Nhut Vi Restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is always fresh, and the place is spotless, which I really appreciate. My absolute favorite is the spring rolls. They’re packed with flavor and super fresh. The dipping sauce is also delicious and takes the dish to the next level. Highly recommended.

Under new management so they only have 5 dishes on the menu. Their spicy beef noodle is right on at $15 but their comfort rice soup is just ok - watery and not enough meat to justify at $14.

I love having Bún Bò Huế with plenty of veggies, and this restaurant is the only place I've found that includes ong choy on their veggie plate. I was really impressed with the broth—it was rich, fresh, and not too salty. I do wish they offered a special version of Bún Bò Huế where you could add steak or other options. They have a great promotion where ordering one main dish gets you a free drink, or ordering two main dishes gives you a free duck salad. This time, I chose to get two free drinks with my two main dishes—Pink Guava Tea and Lychee Rose Tea. If you prefer your drinks less sweet, I’d recommend asking for less sugar. The restaurant is clean, with plenty of seating for large groups. Service was quick and attentive, and they also offer free parking.
