Xoi Hoang Huong

Whoever rated their ca phe sua da prolly don’t know how to drink coffee. The coffee is prolly blended with bunch of roasted corns or other beans. I can’t taste the coffee at all.

Used to come here all the time to buy their «food to go» It’s perfect for on the go lunch. I Always get the Goi Cuon and the Soy which is the rice with chinese sausage. Their fried eggrolls are good too. Everything is reasonably priced. When I’m craving some vietnamese food but not wanting to go to a sit down restaurant, it’s perfect.

Mom and pop shop with limited parking. Ended up getting a café sua da ($ 2.75/large) and goi cuon /​fresh spring rolls ($ 3.50). I felt a little cheated when I was given the coffee but remembered the other Unilocal reviews that it was very strong and just to let the ice melt. They were spot on, some of the best I have had in a long time. Spring rolls were a little on the pricy side, but worth it. Super fresh made with good ingredients. Although the setting/​atmosphere is not the most inviting place, I will be returning for sure.

My favorite place for xoi and Individual to go food ready on the counter for you to grab and go. Come early for better selection. The are pretty busy early in the morning and scale down after lunch. They cater more for working people. You will have to order ahead for party trays. They also sell banh cuon by the pound and they are pretty good too.

UPDATE!
Still an awesome little food to go place!
What I like about this place is how early they open (for you early risers or insomniacs) — they open at 5am!
Favorites :
Café Sua Da — they change up the recipe and taste every now and then — I like the current flavor — whatever it is. It has a nice sweet caramel twist to it. Very light caramel hint, but still good nonetheless. I like how it maintains its strength even after sitting in ice for awhile. Don’t scoff at the amount they give you (vs. ice) — its really strong stuff.
Goi Cuon (Spring Rolls) — as usual, their spring rolls are great and the wrapper is moist — not cold and dry like other to-​go places. The fillings are plentiful and the dipping sauce is tasty. I’ll typically order the spring roll tray here for parties and gatherings.
Xoi (sweet rice) with the chicken meat/​sausage — this is also a yummy favorite. It’s pretty much moist sweet rice (xoi) topped with fried onions, chicken meat and chinese sausage.
Cash only. Small parking up front, but you can park on side or behind the store.

The Chinese sausage xoi has went up to a whopping $ 1.75. Still my favorite café su da in Little Saigon. They have now expanded to banh mi, which I haven’t tried yet.

This review is strictly for the CSD — café sua da (VN ice coffee).
As my journey to find the perfect café sua da (CSD) in OC continues… I stumbled upon this establishment through word of mouth from local Bolsa Unilocalers. Located slightly northwest in Westminster, this place is not in the heart of Bolsa so this place is never busy. I’ve come here 3 times now and each time I’ve been the only customer.
During the first visit to this place, I ordered the CSD which was delicious. It has a nice balance of sweet & strong, but not acidic (as most tend to be that will upset your stomach), has no griddy taste (i.e. leaving a bitter after taste), and does have a smooth finish upon each sip which leaves more to be desired. Each cup has more ice than I care for… but that’s just a personal preference. I do like that they offer two different sizes ($ 2 for a small, $ 2.50 for the larger). Not too fancy… just the traditional french press taste with condense milk and not added flavored creamers or half ‘n half that I hate from Tan Hoang Huong or at Lee’s.
They do make their coffee ahead of time (will just add ice upon purchase) so if you want a fresh one, just ask them… BUT you WILL wait at least 15 minutes for it since they utilize the traditional drip method. Mine was made ahead of time but didn’t taste like it’s been sitting there all day… still has the «fresh» coffee flavor. I will say that their coffee flavor comes from the aroma of the brewed beans and not a bunch of added artificial sweeteners like other coffeehouses. Something I absolutely hate when it comes to non-​traditional café sua da (found at Lee’s, Tan Hoang Huong or Banh Mi Cali). I won’t go out of my way to make this my daily stop for coffee but it’s conveniently located en route during my daily commute so hence I’ve made this my pit-​stop more frequent than not.
On a scale of 1 – 5 (5 being the best), I give their CSD a 3.5 stars.

Stopped in around 9am on a Wednesday, and they had a large variety of still warm fresh sticky rice and also a variety of standard to-​go trays (fried rice, banh beo, banh cuon, bi cuon, and goi cuon). I was really craving carbs, so I carboloaded with a tray of basic mung bean sticky rice (xoi vo), savory mung bean, mochi and sticky rice balls (banh khuc), and xoi kep (red coconut rice and black rice with sweet mung bean paste in a soft crêpe). They were all still warm, but I waited until I got home to dig in.
The xoi vo was 2.5 to 3 stars — very sticky, soft and gooey, so it clumped together and was soggy. It also needed either a pinch of salt (if their intent was to make it savory) or a TBSP of sugar if they wanted it sweet. It wasn’t horrible, but I’ve had better.
The sticky rice varieties in the crepes were better. The right stickiness (where the grains stayed intact) and sweetness from the mung bean paste. They also came with a small container of powdered sesame seed mixed with some granulated sugar. Once that was sprinkled onto the crêpe, it was pretty good. 3 – 3.5 stars
The banh khuc was the best. The filling was perfectly seasoned and moist (meaning they likely used a bit more oil but that’s better than it being dry and crumbly). The mochi was great too. The only thing that needed tweaking was the white sticky rice surrounding the mochi. It was dry, so they needed to add a bit more water during the steaming process. I appreciated that they added some salt to the rice though. I would buy those again for sure. They come 2 to an order and are larger than usual.
Overall, I think this place is a 3 – 3.5, I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to stop in again (like I did today — I was en route to Hien Khanh and missed my exit so I wound up here instead), but I would return if I was in the area and wanted some sticky rice items.
I also bought a tray of banh cuon nhan thit (steamed rice crepes with ground pork and Woodward mushrooms) that I have yet to try. Their spring rolls are on the small side and the rice paper looked a bit dry, so I didn’t try them.

Tiny place and parking sucks but nice people and good grub.

Really great place to get some Vietnamese «xoi» aka sticky rice on the go! This is a grab and go place, no tables for eating. I went here because I saw a picture of their «banh man» which is a rice flour + tapioca cake topped with freshly ground shrimp, fried onions, and chopped green onions. Yum! And for just $ 6. The woman was nice and gave me a cup of their homemade fish sauce. Despite me being Vietnamese, I don’t really eat fish sauce very often. I opened the cup and there were bits of chili floating in the fish sauce and I immediately thought this would be too spicy for me. I tried a spoonful with my banh man and it wasn’t spicy at all! If anything, the flavor of the fish sauce enhanced the banh man. Yum! I will be back!

My favorite place to grab xoi in the morning. I love that they open early @ 5 am so I can get my xoi for breakfast. The xoi here is not dry like most places but has a good chewy texture. You know that they use good nep (sticky rice). They also have FRESH spring rolls, nem cuon, bo bia. I love the nem cuon because the fried banh trang roll inside is still crunchy when i got it. I like all the xoi so far and the price is a little cheaper than most places ($ 1.75 — $ 3). The Bank Duc is bomb!!! It was moist and creamy. I could taste the coconut in it. Coffee is very strong, IMO. Well, I am a light coffee drinker anyway. I hate that they close so early @ 6 pm. No late night xoi for me :/

Oh my goodness. ALL of their xoi are amazing!
My 5 year old son and I simply LOVE their Xoi Khu’c!
And their «banh da^‘y» is by for the best i have ever had!

Good Vietnamese fast food and great prices. In my opinion, they make one of the best café sua da in Little Saigon.

Price is decent, food is good and service by the owner Thien is A-​Ok. I go there every morning to get my coffee and it’s very consistent with the taste. I would recommend anyone to go there.

I love their coffee and the owners are very nice and friendly!!! This is where you can find the best coffee in town.

They must put something in the water because kids these days look older (taller and more developed) then they really are. You hear stories where guys in their 20’s hit on younger chicks but they turn out to be 14 or 15. I REALLY think it’s not on purpose but sometimes when girls put on make-​up and dress more sechsee they can pass off as being older, at LEAST of legal age. I’ve talked to some guys still in high school that look like they should be half way through college with facial hair and standing almost 6 foot. A part of me is jealous because I can’t grow a beard to save my life, nor am I 6 foot tall (I’m 5’10″).
I thought the cashier at this place was maybe a freshman in college? No, she was barely in high school.
Her: «I took a photography class in school. It was whatevers»
Me: «In college?»
Her: «No, high school»
Me: «-_​_​_​-​»
Xoi Hoang Huong exists in a mini strip mall with a beaten up parking lot. Just look for this sign when you are traveling down the street.
They close early on Wed and Sun so watch out for the hours:
If I had to get only one item here it would be the Egg Rolls (50 cents each):
Yeah, I picked something that was deep fried so sue me! I like it because it’s not super packed with meat and it has a good balance of crystal noodles and veggies. It’s also fried through and doesn’t have that burnt taste of overused oil.
The cashier told me just during that week they old over 700 egg rolls. It seems that this place sells a lot of party trays just like a lot of mom and pop catering businesses in the Westminster area. They also sell home made stuff like Vietnamese soups and porridge.
They also sell single serving trays here that range from rice, noodles, and dessert items:
Of course, they sell café sua da here too. Get it!
