My favorite quintessential Vietnamese restaurant! It has everything you can want- such a huge variety. My favorites are the clay pot seafood, nem nuong (of course!) and garlic noodle with shrimp. I've also had their hu tieu Kho (dry noodle), porridge, jerky papaya salad, etc. They have desserts, drinks, appetizers, etc. I haven't ever ordered anything I didn't like. Service is always quick and friendly. It's also always crowded- it's a plus that you can put your name down on the waitlist. They're known for their pork rolls. The icing on the cake is the sauce- it's magical. Best sauce ever. You can order to go for a quick fix! I honestly can never get tired of this place. Price is a bit high for some items but overall good value- hearty portions!

Came for the spring rolls and ended up finding some other goodies that really hit the spot we didn’t know needed hitting. The spring rolls were great as always, but we found the sauce to be too sweet this time around. The bahn khot was fire, great flavors and textures combined. This one was a game winner. The coconut jelly was mellow and was a hit with the kiddo.

Delicious Vietnamese Cuisine that's reasonably priced. Always worth the drive. I tend to find myself here after a football event at Sofi. Their food is on point and service is excellent. Lines out the door but never too long of a wait.

We came for lunch around noon... what a busy place. And I can understand why. Great menu options, flavorful rolls and good service. We were a party of 4. We ordered a few rolls so we can their variety of options Vegetarian Roll was my least favorite. Kinda on the bland side even with sauce. Eggplant Tempura Roll-tasty would get again Duck Roll- was my favorite! Coconut Shrimp Roll- if you like coconut get it... because that's all you taste. Lotus salad- yum! Love the crunch and the little bit of heat you get. Jackfruit salad- sweet and flavorful. I couldn't decide which salad was better. Food portions are generous and easily sharable too! I would definitely return!

Good overall dining experience at Brodard Vietnamese Cuisine. We ordered Nam Vang soup, garlic noodles (seafood & shaken beef), egg rolls, fresh shrimp rolls, and steamed vegetables. The food was fresh and served hot. The garlic noodles were flavorful and filling, and the Nam Vang soup was light and comforting with a good amount of seafood and vegetables. Portions were generous and great for sharing. Service was quick and the restaurant was clean. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and portions make it worth it. Would come back again.

You can join the ONLINE waitlist during peak times, then check-in at the counter upon arrival. It's a bigger place with bar seating, many tables, and a to-go counter. Brodard is well-known for their spring rolls. We got the classic grilled pork spring rolls to start. Our entrées were the deluxe Brodard broken rice with pork Chop, beef stew, and shrimp & crab glass noodles. The beef stew was delicious with tender meat. Our server Tony. T was awesome. He was nice, attentive, and quick.

This is where you go when you are craving for great Vietnamese food! Used to bring my friends who are visiting SoCal here. Now that I no longer reside here, I come whenever I have a chance to visit SoCal. Because of the volume of customers, sometimes you do not get very good service although some of their servers do their best to attend to everyone. The wait is usually long but it is worth it. My favorites here are the Ban Bo Hue, BBQ pork spring rolls, the Brodard Broken Rice and their coconut jelly and taro desserts.
