Mai Phụng Restaurant

One of the best places to get bánh canh cua(Crab Udon Vietnamese style). The place was busy so come in early! The flavor was exquisite. Would definitely recommend to others!

Mai Phung, won't let you down! Banh canh Cửa is so good, look at all the crab on it! Canh bun was also very solid dish! Smaller menu but they nail it! Check out their cha gio too, also fantastic!

I've been meaning to try this place for a while. I've seen this place talked about around social media and was excited to try their Banh Canh Tom Cua which is hard to find in other Vietnamese restaurants in California.

The place is small and kinda warm inside. I came right before the lunch rush and got the last table before a long line of people who had to wait. From what I've seen on the other people's table, most got a bowl of Banh Canh Tom Cua Thit Heo ($16) which is the most popular item and what they specialize in.

The food comes quickly and it's a thick orange broth seasoned nicely with pork slices, shrimp, cooked crab meat with thick udon-like noodles called banh canh. The noodles were not overcooked or overly starchy. The shrimps and crab meat were plentiful and the broth was thick and flavorful.

The guy who took my order was nice. No restroom and parking can get packed.

We were here for Bánh Canh Tôm Cua (Crab Soup)! I ordered Crab Soup and my husband had Beef Phó. But WOW the Beef Phó is surprisingly blown my mind🙀. The beef itself so tender and the broth was flavorful.

Wait quite long to get the table on Sat morning. The bánh canh is good. U need need to eat fast when it is still hot to keep the texture of the soup.

Banh canh is the best

Friend recommended me to try this restaurant. She told me to try the beef pho and wow the beef was soooo tender. The broth was on point an rich. When they brought the noodle soup to the table I first noticed the pepper they sprinkled on top, really nice touch. You can also see that the beef was still cooking where they were slightly pink, awesome. There was a bit of a waiting but it’ll go fast and the service was attentive. Plenty of parking spaces. Try their beef noodle.

Interesting, this place is selling the best banh da lon in town. I have tried at least 10 different places but they have the best.

Excellent authentic Vietnamese food. Very friendly staff and everything is made fresh. I ordered the vermicelli with egg rolls, vermicelli was delicious with a touch of garlic. The egg rolls were very flavorful and it sure hit the spot!

I'm normally not in this area, but when I found this place I was pleasantly surprised.

This is the best pho I’ve ever had. The broth was incredibly tasty. I got the well done brisket pho and my partner got the banh cahn tom cua thit heo which is what everyone comes for. Both were incredible and we’d love to come back when the egg rolls are available.
Owner was super kind and made our experience even better.

Open for dine-in from 11 AM-3 PM only, then take-out from 3 PM until they run out.

They sell about 400 bowls daily! From 3-7 PM they are cleaning up from the lunch service, then from 7-11 PM they cook for the next day. Then they do prep from 6-11 AM 🤯

I came at 6:30 PM and the gate was closed. Apparently that means they only have a couple bowls left. I'm so happy we scored the last 2 bowls!

Best bánh canh cua. Reasonably priced. Quick service.

This place probably has the best Banh Canh Tom Cua in Southern California. The only problem is that the restaurant is very small and doesn't seat that many people. I highly recommend just ordering it to go and preparing it at home. It tastes the same! They also have this dried chicken package that is highly addicting.

Pho is always amazing n rib eye so tender.

Best Banh Canh in town IMO 😉

The best Banh Canh Tom Cua I have ever had!

Best Crab Noodle at its price! The ingredients are so fresh and the spring roll is good. Try adding their home made chili paste into the noodle if you can take spicy. Warning! Chili paste is very hot, use it with care!

Their specialty banh canh cua was good, real chunks of crab in it. Although restaurant/dine in was quite small so we waited a while for a table.

LOVE THIS SPECIALTY RESTAURANT for Banh Canh. My crab meat with dry noodle is also another popular dish and it taste so good bc there is a sweet sauce (not too sweet) mixed inside with shrimp, bean sprouts, jalapeno peppers, and slice pork. It's just so flavorful. I can't believe I FINISHED THE WHOLE THING by myself!! The mung bean drink was on point to balance my spicy mouth bc I used their red spicy sauce (little goes a long way)

I have tried six different dishes here, and they are all tasty. Big portion, delicious sauce, fresh veggie. Highly recommend this place for authentic Vietnamese food.
