Garlic And Chives - Garden Grove

Nice clean restaurant with good food and friendly staff

Garlic and Chives is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the OC area.Restaurant, including the restrooms is clean. Service is prompt and courteous. Lots of parking available in the plaza lot. We have been lucky to come at times when they are not that busy, but I imagine that they would get pretty packed during peak hours.As for the food, everything on their menu is great. We only wish that they also served pho, simply because we love pho and thats literally the only thing that they are missing! Yes, there are tons of pho places in the area, but if they added it to their menu, it would be heaven as all our favorite Vietnamese dishes would be served in one restaurant!Only reason for subtracting one star is due to the price compared to the size of the dishes. You can actually see how the prices keep being increased as there are price stickers stacked on top of each other on their menu. *Cries in California*

Awesome food and you must get the garlic rice! We had no idea it has 2 Michelin Stars, but now we know why!

Serving size was not as big as I thought. The food was okay. We ordered 8 dishes for 6 people and were barely full.

Wonderful impulse dinner. Clay pots are worth it more than I'd say the noodle dish I got. The pork belly is tender and delicious. The sauce was perfect, and the rice had a nice crisp to it.The noodle dish was a bit on the dry side and lighter in flavor, but tasty and filling none the less.Service was on point even with a language barrier and even helped us with the name pronunciation.If I had to rate out of ten, I'd say 8.5 for the noodles and 9 for the pork.Definitely stop in.
