Brodard Chateau is quite upscale in comparison to the rest of the pack of Vietnamese restaurants in Garden Grove, a town straddling the border of Los Angeles and Orange counties. A large community of Vietnamese live and work there and I believe it is the largest single concentration of Vietnamese in California, if not the entire country. Dark wood paneling, solid wood and bamboo tables and amazingly, an actual bar.
As far as the menu is concerned, it contains the standard dishes as spring rolls, Pho (spicy soup accompanied by a platter of greens & herbs), various curries, grilled chicken with garlic noodles and the like, all are prepared with aplomb. They offer excellent French-style bread and no florescent lighting to be found outside of the kitchen.
