Garlic & Chives

Garlic & Chives - Garden Grove, OC

so i didn't know till today when my parents asked to have brunch with me but this new restaurant opened up in garden grove called Garlic&Chives, it's a very casual vietnamese shop. my parents haven't eaten here prior to this time with me either, so we had no idea what to order really.. the menu is a bit could look better.. is how i will state it, but the food from the other options sounded interesting to try, they pretty much had all the basic vietnamese foods they most vietnamese restaurants have. we got: lamb, salmon belly, corn, shaken beef, sausage&eggs on sweet rice, crab & garlic noodles. the lamb was really good, that was probably my favorite item. everything else was good, but not like amazing wow, it felt like any other vietnamese dish is how the other items tasted, which isn't bad. it was also all really cheap everything is under $20, most items are about like $7. would i go back? for the lamb & to try other things, probably. presentation on the food was good too & i also liked my soda chanh (soda lemonade) overall rating for me would be ✮✮✮☆☆ 3/5.
