Overall: 4.5/5 (dine in) We came here for Mother's Day dinner around 6 PM and it was crowded. We had to wait about 20 minutes before we were seated. The service is a bit slower, & the workers had a bit of an attitude. Pho Ap Chao Bo Don - Crispy Chow Fun With Stir Fried Beef & Vegetables ($16.50): This looks great in picture & in presentation but the taste is mid. The big blocks are pho are fried flat rice noodles. They don't have any flavor ready. The sauce is also mild and just not something I enjoy. Beef was okay too. Bun Cha Ca La Vong - Grilled Fish With Thin Noodle & Vegetables ($32.95): This is meant for 2 people to share; my mom & I shared and we still had leftover. This is our go-to item whenever we come here. The fish was as good as always - the pieces were big, soft, and tasty. I wish they gave a little bit more noodles. We didn't think there was enough so we were mostly just eating the fish with the vegetables. Bun Cha Ha Noi - BBQ Pork & Pork Patties With Thin Noodle ($16.25): The BBQ pork was good but the pork patties were just okay. Gao Viet Kitchen's Bun Cha Co Linh is way better. Banh Bot Chien Trung - Fried Flour Cake With Egg ($11.25): This is also another go-to item whenever we come here. They make the flour cake so crispy. Love the flavors for this appetizer.

CASH ONLY. Wonderful Vietnamese restaurant, the flavors of the grilled meat were amazing. Portions were huge and price was pretty reasonable. The restaurant was packed but no wait. Service was a bit lacking, nobody came to refill my water but that's ok, the food was just awesome and I will absolutely be coming back. The fried shrimp cake was also really good, juicy inside and the bean curd had a great crisp to it. The fish sauce was not overpowering, not too salty, just added really nicely to the flavours. Their desserts looked great but I'm not sure how people have room to eat any after their main dish. There are also a lot of other places in the same plaza to get dessert if you wanted something different. Everything from fresh fruits, to mochi donuts, taiyaki ice cream, boba, etc.

This Vietnamese restaurant, which in my view reflects some Chinese influence, boasts an excellent (but non-traditional) Cha Ca La Vong dish featuring deep fried fish pieces on a bed of dill and onions, augmented by rice paper and fermented fish sauce for dipping (traditionally, Cha Ca La Vong is not deep fried). Other dishes we samples are alright, again not made the traditional way but tasty nonetheless. For example, Bot Chien traditionally are square cubed of fried dough that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, whereas Thien Long's Bot Chien is served as an omelette. Parking is plentiful and service is good.

Thiên Long Restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating, though it can feel a bit cramped during peak hours. The signature grilled fish dish, served with herbs and rice noodles, is a standout, providing a fun, interactive dining experience. The chef’s special beef stew is flavorful but slightly oily, and vegetarian options are limited. Service is friendly, with complimentary rice crackers and shrimp sauce as a starter. While some diners wish for more whole fish options, the DIY grilled fish wraps make for a unique and enjoyable meal.

Foods are good, huge servings but THEY ARE ON CASH BASIS ONLY which limits the customers to order for more foods if they don't bring plenty of cash in their wallet.

Not the best Vietnamese food I’ve tired but very good. Tried the turmeric fish wrap and shaking beef with tomato rice, both quite delicious. Portion sizes are large, just wished there was just more protein. Service was good but could be more attentive. Only accept cash or Zelle.

One of the restaurants that open late in the area. Crispy chow fun w/ beef is decent. Grilled fish w/ thin noodle is delicious with a big portion. Quick services and nice staffs. If the customers forget any belongings, they will hurry to return.

Plenty of seats inside but a little cramped. Very friendly service, free rice cracker and shrimp sauce as a starter. Big portions and generous amount of leafy veggies/herbs. Their signature is the 2-person fried fish (cha ca la voung) - came out on a metal grill with fish filet chucks on a bed of herbs and onions. The fish was fried well, juicy and fresh. I was expecting a whole fish instead of chucks to get more flavor of the fish instead of breading and herbs. Tasted like it was basa? Fun to wrap it in lettuce and mint and cucumber that came on the side. Had to add some sriracha and fish sauce. Also got the chef special beef stew w/ rice noodles (Hu tieu bo kho) - mild flavor, but a bit too oily. Thicker rice noodles were great to slurp with the soup, tender, slow cooked beef cubes. Food was ok, but service was fast. Good vibes with many locals.

Yummy lunch. Stopped by to have their famous grill fish. It was quite busy when we arrived. We got the table right away. The interior is standard. We ordered spicy and sour seafood rice noodle soup, grill fish, and chow fun with stir fry seafood and veggie. All are yummy, and the portion is generous. The vietnsmese coffee is also good. It is not too sweet. The highlight dish is the grill fish. It is for 2 people but it can feed more. Service is quick. It is good for the group. It is cash only. It has an atm machine inside.

Cash only. And you gotta work for your good here. They give you the ingredients but you gotta roll that baby up yourself. Very traditional with the fermented shrimp/ fish sauce. But the fried fish and dill combo inside fresh lettuce and rice paper is quite a treat

Ordered the #34B, the same thing everyone orders from this place. The fish on a searing hot plate. Comes with grilled vegetables cooking on it, rice wraps, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, mint, dill, etc. $30 and is supposed to feed two people. That said, two people who eat a decent amount are likely to not feel full on this without an extra dish, especially since fish is a "lighter" protein. It's not a cheap meal, but they are consistent, quick, and it's good. I come down to SJ to eat here a couple times a year. Recommended.

We tried their Banh Xeo bc someone told us it's better than the other well known place nearby. Their BX is huge but the ratio of Rau to BX is way too low. Not enough lettuce to wrap the BX and lacking in variety. Also way too much bean sprouts in BX fillings. Still a good restaurant for other dishes however

Their specialty, Cha Ca La Vong, which is hard to find, is pretty good. I also enjoy their Bun Rieu with snails. However, the Bun Ga Nuong (Vermicelli grilled chicken with veggies) was a big disappointment. This dish is supposed to be a noodle salad with lots of veggies but there was just some shredded lettuce, no mint or mung sprouts. The chicken was too salty to eat and not seasoned properly. Why is this subpar dish even offered? Best not to experiment here and stick to their specialty.

We got the fish and dill rice paper roll, alright but not enough dill or onions. Onions burned onto the hot plate and more vegetables was extra cost. Not the worst cha ca la vong place but not the best either. We also got tom yum style soup. Too much msg, but did come w a lot of meatballs, cabbage, some fish. Nice enough.

We sometime go there and eat our favorite A3 item. It’s not so good this time the food was over deep fried. We order Banh Xeo sometime but this time the waitress charge us extra three dollar for a few lettuce. What a ripe off. They did not disclose to us that it’s extra charge. They just add $3.00 on the receipt when we excepting to get without charge. Banh Xeo is taste ok this time. Pho Beef was less meat also the broth taste like water down no good at all. Disappointed with the dine in.
