my family’s favorite noodle shop is called Trieu Chau in Santa Ana/Garden Grove. my parents have been going since they first immigrated here during the vietnam war. my wife and i go like once a week haha for pho, the popular spots are Pho 79 (or Pho 101, same owner) and Phoholic. I personally like 79/101 better tbh. both are in the GG area for chinese, we talkin cantonese?
