First time here, and it completely changed my impression of Vietnamese food.
Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The green mango salad was refreshing, the black pepper snails were rich and aromatic, and the pineapple smoothie served in a whole pineapple was a nice touch. Portions were generous, and for five people the value per person was excellent.
Friendly service and a very enjoyable overall experience. Would definitely come back.

Hands down the best Vietnamese seafood spot in town! I’ve been here many times and have never had a bad dish—zero ‘landmines’ on the menu. The seafood is prepped so well; it’s incredibly clean with absolutely no sand. Also, don’t sleep on their drinks and desserts! The pineapple and coconut smoothies are refreshing and delicious. Service is surprisingly fast too. They have two locations, and I’ve tried both—the quality and taste are consistently amazing at both spots. A must-visit every time I’m in LA!

First time here and definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I ever been to in California.
Everything is tasty and exactly how I like my Vietnamese food. Grew up in Vietnam and I can say this is even better than most restaurants in Vietnam.
Staffs are great and no rude service like elsewhere. They even served dessert for free end of meal.
Phở áp chảo is my favorite dish.

I had a great experience at Ốc & Lẩu in Garden Grove. Their sturgeon hot pot was especially delicious — rich, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. I really enjoyed my meal and hope to come back again soon. Definitely a spot worth trying if you love hot pot!

This place lived up to it’s seafood hype. Lots of variety and options for seafood with so many different types and styles you can try of seafood.
We really liked the lobster noodles, the king scallops, garlic butter queen clams and the steam clam soup. The coconut snails was a bit cumbersome and small to eat with some awkward taste. The base broth was fine but the snail was ok. The papaya salad was very refreshing and the hotpot was the filet mignon beef, shrimp and squid option which was also great with a savory broth.
The atmosphere was lively and loud but still clear enough to hear each other talk. The staff was fairly attentive. Highly recommend reservations as both places are packed at most hours.

Our family travels to LA twice a year and this is one of our favourite spots. Sad to say, this place has lost its touch.
We visited Oc & Lau last week and it was one of the worst experience we’ve ever had while dining out.
After eating here this time, we have decided never to come back. The portions were extremely small, prices went up and the service is absolutely horrible. The servers are have no intentions to serve you, when you ask for something, they’ll pretend they dont see your hand and walk the other way.
The worst part was, they charged us $5 for a small tea pot and when we asked for a refill at the end of our meal, they came back with cold water in the pot.
This is not the place to go to if you want to have a nice sit down dinner and enjoy the food with company. We ended up spending $150+ for 3 people just for a few dishes and we weren’t even full at the end of our meal. For this price point, there are many other good options in OC with similar options.

When I visit OC, many of my friends were raving about this restaurant, I’m not crazy about snails and stuff, but my brother insisted that I have to try, so we did. He ate here a few times.
OK this place is a trendy place for young people, it’s in a big food center in Garden Grove. Most of the plates are under $20 and the portions are small, real appetizers. Most of people ordered the lau which is a bowl of soup and you dip whatever you want to order in it. I didn’t like any of the VN lau so we didn’t order.
Most of young people having dates going here to be trendy. The food is actually excellent and the services are very attentive and quick.
The only plate I think it’s totally over priced is the 4 scallops for $27. They’re not even out of ordinary.
The snails in tamarine sauce is quite tasty, you can eat with rice and it’s excellent.
The finger snails are hot and tasty too, nothing to complain there just only a few fingers.
The octopus salad was ok, the meats are very chewy, I wouldn’t order this.
The snails in garlic sauce which I think it’s amazing.
The fried rice is good, nothing to rave about.
So, there are quite a few oc & lau in the bay and the foods are excellent too, but after everything is done, you only had a few snails and shrimps as appetizers. It’s ok to try it once but not crazy to be here over and over again since I’m not crazy about snails and stuff LOL. I want real food.

Overpriced with Small Portions!
Oc & Lau has really lost its touch. Portions have shrunk while prices keep climbing ($18-$20) for tiny dishes. The fried calamari was bland, the snails lacked flavor, and the crispy fried fish wasn’t crispy at all. The pan-fried noodles were a complete disappointment, and the rushed service only made things worse. Honestly, I wish I had gone to Bien Hen instead — much more reasonably priced and with better service.
