At our takeout restaurant in Orange County, we’ve always prided ourselves on serving up the very best of Vietnamese street food, offering dishes that transport you straight to the vibrant streets of Vietnam with every bite. From our signature Bun Cha Ha Noi to a variety of other authentic offerings, we’ve always aimed to deliver the flavors of Hanoi and beyond to our loyal customers. But we listen to your feedback — and sometimes, that means introducing new dishes that satisfy both long-time fans and curious newcomers.
Introducing our latest creation: Vietnamese-Style Wonton Noodles with Char Siu, made from tender and flavorful pork cheek.
The Birth of a New Dish
Over the past few months, we’ve been listening closely to the requests from our chef's long term customers. Many of them, who have been coming to her for years to enjoy Bun Cha Ha Noi, also shared their love for the classic Cantonese-style wonton noodles that you’ve encountered in other eateries. They told us they wanted a new noodle dish to complement the Bun Cha experience, one with the same depth of flavor and heartiness that they’ve come to love from our menu.
We heard, and we’ve delivered.
Our Vietnamese-Style Wonton Noodles with Char Siu was born out of the demand for a comforting yet flavorful bowl of noodles that brings together the best of both Vietnamese and Chinese culinary traditions. We’ve combined delicate, hand-wrapped wontons filled with savory pork with the richness of Char Siu (Chinese-style BBQ pork), but with a twist: we use pork cheek, a cut that is naturally tender, flavorful, and juicy, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s second to none.
What Makes Our Wonton Noodles Special?
Wonton noodles are already beloved across Southeast Asia, but we’ve taken the concept and infused it with Vietnamese flair. The result? A deliciously satisfying dish that offers a wonderful balance of textures and flavors.
Pork Cheek Char Siu: The star of this dish is the tender Char Siu, made from juicy pork cheek, marinated in a fragrant blend of soy sauce, hoisin, five-spice, and other seasonings, and then slow-roasted to perfection. The rich, slightly sweet and savory taste of the Char Siu pairs perfectly with the delicate wontons and light broth, adding depth to each bite.
Handmade Wontons: Our wontons are handmade daily, filled with a flavorful mixture of seasoned pork and shrimp that bring a burst of umami with every bite. The wrappers are soft but sturdy enough to hold up in the warm broth, delivering that authentic bite that you’d expect from traditional Vietnamese-style wonton noodles.
Light, Aromatic Broth: The broth is clear and light, but packed with flavor. We take the time to simmer our broth with a combination of pork bones, herbs, and seasonings to create a rich and aromatic base that ties the dish together. It’s the perfect canvas for our tender wontons and flavorful Char Siu.
Fresh Toppings: To round out the dish, we top the wonton noodles with fresh green onions and a dash of crispy fried shallots, adding an extra layer of fragrance and crunch that lifts the dish to another level.
Customizable: One of the things we love most about our takeout format is that you can customize your bowl of wonton noodles exactly the way you like it. Want a little extra Char Siu? No problem. Prefer a little more broth? We’ve got you covered. Our goal is to provide a meal that’s just as you imagine it.

At our restaurant, we’re all about creating food that’s both familiar and exciting. This new dish is a perfect addition to our menu because it fits right in with our philosophy of bold, flavorful Vietnamese dishes that offer variety and authenticity.

The addition of the Char Siu made from pork cheek — a tender and flavorful cut of meat — elevates the dish beyond the typical wonton noodle experience, giving our customers a chance to enjoy something special, both in terms of flavor and texture. It’s also the perfect comfort food: hearty, satisfying, and full of umami, making it a great option for lunch, dinner, or even as a late-night snack.
