Monarch 9

Awesome place! Family owned. The passion, and the care of the owners is very genuine. Definitely the most unique Vietnamese food I have had. Came here for lunch. Had the vegan spring rolls, vegan curry, and hubby had the shaken beef. The place is super clean, very nice, and you can feel the positive energy. We were greeted with many smiles and had a wonderful lunch! Next time will try the cocktails!

Not very impressed today, our first time dining here! 4.5 stars with 960 reviews on Yelp seemed really good, so we decided to try it out. Restaurant is nice, very cool ambiance, nice decorations, well organized. They offer inside seating as well as patio seating. Clean restaurant. The have beers to chose from, as well as some delicious dessert options (well… they looked delicious lol, did not get to try them.) The reason why I am only giving them a 3 star review, it is because of the wait time. We sat on a semi-wet table, was not fully dry when they took us there. Then we waited almost 45 minutes before the first plate was brought to our table, and about 3 minutes in between plates. It was only 5 of us. Not a huge party. Before we left, 2 different waiters came to our table to apologize for the slow service. One said it was because they were under staffed, the other one said it was because the rush caught them by surprise!! So I am assuming it was probably a combination of both! The food on the other hand was very good. I would not really consider this restaurant to be the best Vietnamese restaurant in Orange County at the moment, maybe back in 2020 when It was nominated, but not now. But yes, the food was good, very good quantity for the price tag. My Oxtail Fried rice was $18.95 My wide Vermicelli Chicken Bowl was $17.95 I am not sure if I’ll come back. Who knows!

Wow!! That's what I have to say about the meal we just had at Monarch 9 in Yetba Linda CA. I ordered the Chicken pho which was amazing!! My hubby ordered the Filet Mignon Pho & he loved it too!! We initially went to try their beef stew and was let down when we were told they no longer serve the dish! We were sad but that's when I decided to try the chicken Pho and it's definitely one of the best I've ever had!! The portion was huge definitely enough for two people. I loved how clean the establishment was . I really liked their decor too! To top it off we ordered the tiramisu. That was also very good too! The staff was very friendly and attentive too. It was definitely worth the visit! A must try.

THE BEST FOOD EVER! The pho was excellent in taste and portion,the broth like no other, words can't even do it justice,(order the small if you are like me and will order more plates!) The spring rolls, eggrolls, and oxtail rice like no other, definitely order the oxtail rice, it is life. The shaken beef is the best plate I have ever tasted in my life! The service is one of a kind, such wonderful staff, and the lychee ice tea was so refreshing!
