A friend recommended this place to try the fried fish and it was good! I called in for a take out fried fish and it was huge when I picked it up so they charged me an extra dollar since they only had big fish on that day but for $17 bucks total and came with rice wasn't bad. The dipping sauce was like a sweet and sour tamarind but I think you can pour it on top of the fish if dined in. I would love to come back to try their other viet dishes. Seems like the place has great food.

We have been coming here on and off for years. It's a modest family run place doing solid food. The menu is a a mix of Vietnamese and Chinese. My wife always gets broccoli beef which she loves. I mixed it up between pho, rice dishes and noodles. I think it's basically a husband and wife thing with the husband cooking and the wife handling the front of house. I have never had a bad meal here.

This joint is definitely a hole in the wall treasure in Tustin! It's hidden pretty well if you ask me. The service is not fast, but you're very well taken care of. There's a host who also helps prepare the food and handles all the tables and a cook who also serves as bus boy. So if you're going on an hour lunch, you will be late to come back. I had the Pho LB- Braised beef, seared for 5 hrs, meat falls off the bone and oh my goodness, it was the most delicious. So delicious I committed to going back once a wk just to have this! If you're looking for some delicious Pho- come here!

A hole in the wall place. I've seen it many times passing by Cream Pan, but I wasn't sure if I should take a leap. I did. Instead of ordering pho, I ordered the seafood pan fried noodles. It was pretty good, although the sauce was a bit salty. Everything tasted goods they gave a lot of vegetables which I love, but the shrimp tasted kind of funny. Maybe the shrimps were kept in the freezer way too long. It didn't taste fresh. I don't think it's worth the risk of eating it so I spat it out. I asked for the broth to eat along with the noodle. The broth was excellent. If this is the same pho broth, then I can't wait to try their pho.

For years I have seen this place but never gave it a shot. TBH I do regret a bit not having done so earlier. I've have ordered take-out a few times now from Long Hai and all that we had tried was delish & fresh. The flavors they cook here has been on point. I must say they are pretty generous with their portions too. We phoned in our order and as well ordered in person - the lady who takes our order is super nice! It takes about 20-30 minutes for our order (we always order about 3-4 entrees each time). Packaging for take-out is done very well. Only gripe I have is they use Styrofoam. Other than that IMO prices are super fair. Long Hai IS definitely one of the better Vietnamese restaurant I have tried in Tustin. Even The Bunz says this is truly authentic Vietnamese food. [4.5 / 5.0 ] - Crispy Taro Salad - Best eaten soon as you get it because the taro slices becomes un-crispy when taken home. Otherwise this is a tasty & refreshing salad [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Combination Noodle Soup - A very heart-warming light tasting soup loaded with shrimp, chicken, fish fillet & BBQ pork. [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Combination Beef Pho - Great pho broth & such a hearty soupy meal! [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Pho LB - Literally the meat falls off the bone. So good! [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Basil Fish Fillet - Amazingly delish! Love the flavor & it is best eaten quick for it's crispiness. So yummy! [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Kung Pao Chicken - WOW, one of the best kung pao chicken I've had! I seriously would order this over & over again! My Fav! [5.0 / 5.0 ] - Grilled Pork & Rice - Nicely grilled & cooked perfectly. Add an egg roll for that crispy texture & goes well with the grilled pork & rice! [1.0 / 5.0 ] - Thai Iced Tea - Maybe we shouldn't get this toward end of their evening shift for it was very watered down. My mom said it didn't taste anything like a Thai tea & didn't like it at at all. Can't wait to order from Long Hai again :) If and when I can, I love to support local & mom/pop businesses.

I ordered delivery via Door Dash from Long Hai after a search for asian style catfish, since I was craving it. The food was delicious! The catfish was cooked perfectly and the sauce on the catfish was plentiful and absolutely delicious with the rice. The kung pao chicken was also delicious, with a nice sweet and salty flavor. I would highly recommend trying both of these dishes. 10/10 for the food, and with how delicious it was I definitely will be coming to dine in at a point to experience the restaurant more intimately.

Tucked away in the corner of the plaza, I have been nearby for Cream Pan and Bardot so many times and never noticed Long Hai. Plenty of roomy parking in this plaza. I was specifically searching for Sup Mang Cua, when Long Hai came up. I was excited that they were in Tustin so I didn't have to make the trek to the Little Saigon area. When I arrived in the evening time after work the restaurant was empty. I was able to pick any seat I wanted so I decided to sit by the window to enjoy some day light. Their menu has a lot of options to pick from. Pricing is on the affordable side in this economy. I ordered a Hot Tea ($?), the Sup Mang Cua ($8/regular) I came here for and a starred signature Ca Chien Don ($14). I was disappointed the hot tea came in a small styrofoam cup and not a big pot. I am also not a fan of styrofoam so that was a turn off but the tea actually tasted really good. The Sup Mang Cua is a Vietnamese Asparagus and Crab soup. It also has egg whisked into the soup base. The portion was decent. However visually I was surprised they used the green asparagus and not the white asparagus I see used for this soup. Unfortunately the crab did not taste fresh. Before ordering I was wondering if I should get the large and after tasting the dish I was glad I got the regular size. The Ca Chien Don ($14) is a Fried Tamarind Sole Fish. When ordering the lady warned me that this fish is very boney. I told her I was aware and I am magnificent at deboning fish. This was such a huge portion. Definitely enough for two people. The batter on it was tasty and it was fried to a perfect execution. However there was that fishiness essence that lingered. Even the dipping sauces could not save it from its' unfresh taste. While paying for my check, an older gentleman came to the front. We had a great conversation about the latest gas rate increases. I think the service here is really nice, so that's my reason for rounding up. My overall assessment is that they have a menu with a lot of variety, prices are fair, friendly service but the downfall for me is the subpar quality. If you have basic taste buds, you might like this place for pricing and portion.

My mom always brought me takeout from this restaurant during my 1st pregnancy. Their food is always so delicious and the flavors are on point! Now that I'm pregnant again, I was craving house special lobster. We came here for dine-in around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. This place is wedged in the corner next to Kitajima and Bardot coffee. It was packed and busy as usual. We ordered: House special lobster with noodles ($90) - live lobster that they grab from the fish tank, stir fried and tasty. The lobster was succulent and full of flavor. The noodles were garlicky and delicious! The only con was they didn't chop up the lobster so it was a workout to get the meat out! Pho - my parents always get the rare steak Pho. It comes out super quick in a huge bowl. My parents split it and we also gave some of the noodles to my baby girl. Steamed Ginger Fish with rice - healthy and flavorful Other favorites: Crispy whole sole fish - hot, fresh, and crispy, always a favorite! Garlic shrimp - grilled and delicious Braised catfish - so soft and melt-in-your mouth! This is one of my favorite dishes. Young coconut water - they crack open a whole coconut so you can drink fresh coconut water and eat the meat. It is so refreshing on a hot day. Service is quick and food is always delicious. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating available. Will definitely be back to try more of their dishes!
