Essence Drinks and Dining

Excellent Bo Ne steak meal! The salad is so refreshing and has a lot of delicious vibrant colors. The Bo Ne itself came medium rare and was cooked to perfection. It comes with garlic and pate that I really enjoyed, spread over the fluffy bread. A perfect, feasible meal I would definitely get again.

Had a chance to stop in during lunchtime on a weekday and was seated immediately indoors (they have patio dining if you want to sit outside)We ordered the Bo Ne Fillet, Banh Mi Bo Kho, and Bun MocThe Bo Ne came with the fillet mignon, pate, an egg and mushrooms and garlic and a huge baguette. The fillet itself was okay, for a fillet mignon, it was a bit chewy. The Bo Kho came in a pasta dish which was very nicely plated because Bo Kho usually just comes in a bowl. We love how it came in because it gave us plenty of room to dip our baguette in the broth. The broth was sooo good alone that I ended up mostly just eating bread dipped in broth! lolThe Bun Moc was very well seasoned and flavorful but the portion that was served for the price was a bit meh. Each staff member was very helpful and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very cute and welcoming. I would come back for the Bo Kho

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, we didn't even get to try the food we ordered. We waited patiently for about 40 minutes, watching other tables--seated much later--receive their meals before us. We weren't even served water. Despite the restaurant not being at full capacity, we were completely overlooked.As parents dining with a 1-year-old toddler who waited as patiently as she could, it was especially frustrating when the wait became too much for her. Oh yea, I ended up having to get my own high chair and organized the table myself. My wife kindly went up to ask (who we believe is the manager) how much longer it would be, only to be met with the dismissive response, "I put the order in." That wasn't enough, so we decided to leave.

As expected, minimal and rushed service. Excellent food. Seating available inside and on patio.

I love a classic Vietnamese breakfast spot. When my bf and I saw that this place had bo ne, we literally sped here bc we were craving it so bad. When we came, it was pretty busy but we were seated very promptly. All the workers were so nice. And I love how they sell pickled vegetables and other goodies at the cash register.We ordered banh canh Tom cua and the wagyu Bo ne and a salad came with one of the dishes. Banh canh Tom cua (4/5): if you like THICK banh canh broth, get it here. I love when places make the broth THICK, it tastes better to me. I just wish they gave me some veggies to add in it. I like adding bean sprout to mine and it was a dash too much black pepper but I still slurped my bowl clean.Wagyu Bo ne (4/5): it was initially hard to cut the meat but the meat was tender when we ate it. My bf said this was the best pate he's ever had. I think next time, we would be satisfied w just the filet mignon bo ne.We would come back :)

My FAVORITE place to go for a classic Vietnamese breakfast. Service is typical Vietnamese fashion and not the fastest, but flavors always hit. It's always been pretty crowded every time I go so be prepared to wait if you have a large table. I always take my friends from out-of-town here and I always order their bo ne - Vietnamese steak on a skillet with egg, pate, mushrooms, served with a whole fresh baguette and a side salad. This is a LOT of food and I usually don't finish everything, but it's so good, you will be trying to! The steak is pretty tender, the eggs are runny and a great dipping sauce for the crispy, fluffy bread, and the slab of pate is TO DIE FOR! I love pate and the pate here is so livery and full of umami flavor. All the flavors melt together on the hot skillet for the ultimate bite. The side salad adds the perfect bite of freshness and cuts through all the fattiness. They also have pretty cool drinks here like ube lattes and Vietnamese egg coffee. There are so many different Vietnamese items on the menu that no matter how picky you or your friends are, there will be something you like that you can order. Always a must-go for me when in Westminster. So good!

Finally coming here after passing by it so many times! I came in with my boyfriend's family and we got seated within 10 minutes. I got the Bo Ne Fillet Mignon known as the Sizzling Skillet plate and it came with fillet mignon, pate, egg, and mushroom. Everything together was perfectly balanced! Only thing missing was the meat that could've been seasoned a bit more. There was condiments on the side, but I wish I didn't have to add anything to it for the flavor to come out. Our food took a long time to come out, but it might be because of the Saturday lunch hour. There's so many options of delicious Vietnamese dishes that I'll have to consider coming back to try those!
