Pho Mai Nguyen (the Catfish Place)
1999-03-09

I've not been to many Vietnamese places but the catfish here is the best I've had.   It's great.  In fact it's so good I could each just that as my only dish plus some rice.  My friend Neil introduced me to this place. Vietnamese style eggrolls are also very good.  You roll them in a piece of lettuce and then dip them in a semi sweet reddish orange sauce.  Yum!  Another thing to try is the combination BBQ pork and vermicelli

Directions: Going north on Brookhurst from the 405 you pass Hazard street.  On the right will be a long strip mall. That strip mall will end at a small neighborhood street and the first restaurant in the next strip mall that starts on the other side of that neighborhood street is the place.

NEXT:[Dragon Phoenix Palace Chinese Seafood Restaurant]

Best Pho [ e ]

I have tried no less than 20 Pho places in OC. I need to go to this place to try the catfish!

But for Pho, go to Orange. Its on Chapman in the Papa Johns shopping center. There is a tanning salon where all kindsof MILFs tan at.

I can't pronounce the name of the restuarant.

The Pho is so authentic. You get that spikey green leafed veetable to put in your soup 90% of the Pho places don't give it to you as its hard to get and expesive from what I hear. The also have the Satay condiment which is also not at a lot of Pho places. They only open till 9pm every night.

Try the Mango drink (belnded with pearls). Its insane!!!
