Brodard in Orange County is famous for pork spring rolls — but don't skip the pastries. Review by piescarcega.
In late 2017, the family behind Brodard Restaurant, a mainstay of Orange County’s Little Saigon since the 1990s, moved its flagship restaurant from Garden Grove to a bigger space in a Fountain Valley shopping center.
If you arrive any later than 5 p.m. on a Saturday night, you will put your name on a waitlist and sit in the lobby among dozens of families waiting to be seated. Teenagers in hoodies slouch over their phones; young kids use the sidewalk in front of the restaurant as a makeshift playground. Brodard is a happy, noisy place.
The rolls are served with an amber-colored dipping sauce that’s sweet yet also unusually meaty. The sauce has developed a small but ardent cult following; recipe blogs are replete with copycat versions. Beyond rolls, Brodard’s menu of noodles, soups and salads stretches from one end of Vietnam to the other, offering solid, if sometimes tame, interpretations of dishes like Hanoi-style pork noodles in a thick garlic sauce; Mì Quảng, flat rice noodles heaped with chewy pork spareribs and shrimp; and a beautiful beef noodle soup charged with robust, savory flavor.The deluxe broken rice plate is a gleeful jumble of shredded pork, shrimp cakes and a spongy egg meatloaf laced with fish sauce.
