Bun Bo with oxftail: 4/5. Minus one star for two tiny oxtail pieces for $2 extra than Ty e regular Bun Bo. Definitely not worth it. Otherwise, it's on the above average side. Just order the regular or one with the pork knuckle. Service-wise, there isn't much, but definitely not the worst among Vietnamese restaurants. The waiter was very polite tho. This place needs more TLC. Will be back for other items.

It's been awhile since we dined at Huynh. I was craving banh beo and mi quang but didn't want to deal with the crowd at Hue, so we decided to try out Huynh again. We came around 11:30am on a Saturday and the restaurant was less than half full. I liked that they didn't crowd the tables so it felt more spacious inside..good when dining with toddlers. We ordered.. BANH BEO (5) $5.95 -ground shrimp over rice cake with fish sauce. The banh beo came out warm, soft and tasted fresh. They didn't skimp on the ground shrimp either. Each plate came with a fluffy chicharron. 4/5* BANH RAM IT (3) $6.75 -steamed sticky rice atop fried sticky rice dumpling with fish sauce. Inside there was pork and tiny shrimp. The fried dumpling was crispy and not oily. 4/5* MI QUANG $15.95 -turmeric yellow noodle, pork, shrimp, rice cracker, vegetables and peanuts. The noodles were perfectly cooked, they had a nice bouncy chew to them. The broth was delicious, especially after squeezing lime and adding some chili sate. My husband thought it was a bit sweet but it was perfect for me. They gave a good amount of tender pork and 2 fresh shrimps. I liked how they put the veggies on the side so I could add what I liked, as much as I wanted. 5/5* BUN BO GIO HEO $16.95 -spicy noodle soup, beef shank, tendon, ham, pork and blood cubes with pork knuckle. My husband asked for very spicy but he said it wasn't that spicy. The broth was a bit sweet for him so he squeezed in a lot of lime in and added chili sate for more heat. Meat was okay, decent amount of meat but "the pork knuckle was a bit hairy". The noodles were cooked well, not overcooked. 3.5/5* Service was good, waitress was around when we needed anything. I would come back again if I was craving hue food! They also offer vegetarian options.

We went on a Monday afternoon, but it was a holiday so I was worried there could be a wait but to my surprise there was none! I had this place on my try list for a while but never had the chance to come by and I wish I came sooner. We got the banh beo, bún riêu, and bún bò Huế. All these dishes were so good! And the prices were very reasonable. My friend who's vegetarian also loved his version of the banh beo and said it was the best he's ever had. I would highly recommend this place and there's plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions

Came here because the Hue restaurant was crowded and my family was craving Bun Bo Hue. We all got some Bun Bo Hue but they have a ton of different options as well. It is a casual Vietnamese dine in restaurant. Really great good and comparable Bun Bo Hue. They have a really great tasting broth and it is worth coming here to try it at least once. There is a good amount of seating. I would not come here with a huge party but it is great for a small friend group or a family.

I've been back at least another 5 times, I can't get enough of this! I even went back to Hue Restaurant and agree it's good, but something about Huynh Dining's BBH soup just tastes cleaner and lighter without compromising on the flavor. I've introduced this spot to some friends and their families and they agree that the quality of their food here is so much better. My bf loves their Shaken Beef. The beef cubes are tender, lean and not super fatty, well seasoned and cooked very well. I wish they played some pop or some mellow music in the background because it's a fairly small restaurant and you can hear everyone. Other than that, I love it here.

Satisfied all of my Viet food cravings! Decided to give this place a try because I was craving Bun Rieu. This place has a very similar menu from the restaurant right across called Hue, which I usually go to. Lots of the same appetizers and main dishes. It was pretty small and way less busy than across the street but the food was absolutely amazing. To start off, I ordered the Banh Nam and Banh Beo as our appetizers. Both were so amazing and had such a yummy ground shrimp flavor. Both were priced at about $5 each which was such a good deal. I also had a fresh coconut which was also very refreshing and sweet. For my main I ordered the Bun Rieu which had the be the best Bun Rieu I have ever had in my life. The tomato flavor was so rich and even the crab ball was great. I never usually get to finish my soup but I ate up every bite of this. My boyfriend ordered the Bun Bo Hue which he said was okay. I will definitely be returning to this place whenever I want Viet food! Great service and great food!
