Oc & Lau 2: Savor Authentic Vietnamese Seafood Hot Pot in Garden Grove

6/5 I have nothing bad to say about this place at all. Expect wait time but hey the food is fantastic, that’s why people are trying to get in too. Tips: You can go on a wait list on Yelp but the Staff there told me if you’re not eating Hot Pot, you can tell them and they should have a table right away. I ordered the items below Salted egg escargots Coconut snails Garlic fatty snails Sashimi scallops Deep fried smelt fishes Everything is amazing. Fast service. Attentive servers.

First time I’ve been to this place I was recommended to come here and they did not disappoint. I asked my friend what should I get? He said the real question is how many things can do you want to get he says everything was amazing and everything was amazing coconut snails perfect Scallops, perfect crab, shrimp, fried rice, perfect only thing and I mean only thing that I did not and was mad about or not mad disappointed that they were not in season with the coconut shrimp service was perfect. Food comes out fast and I mean fast like if it was almost microwaved, but it’s notI recommend this to anybody and everybody.

An Absolute Must-Try! Incredible Food & Service. We had an unforgettable lunch here with a group of 9 friends and family. Our host, who knows the area well, brought us to this gem, and it exceeded all expectations! The food is simply spectacular. We ordered more than six dishes to share, and every single one was delicious. The snail dishes are truly to die for—so flavorful and fresh. I was even brave enough to try the legendary balut (embryo duck egg), and it was a unique and authentic experience I won't forget! What made the meal even better was the fantastic service. Our server was incredibly attentive, handled our large table with ease, and paid close attention to all our requests and details. This is the perfect kind of family restaurant for an authentic, delicious, and lively meal. I cannot recommend Oc & Lau 2 enough to anyone visiting the area. A must-have experience!

We drive 2 hrs just to eat here!!! The line to get in is huge for dinner!! (Its that good) so make sure you get on the wait list online so you can keep track of what # you are. It's located in a small shopping area so you can pick up pastries while you wait. The atmosphere is gorgeous inside. Staff is pleasant and helpful in describing what a dish is if you're not sure. The food arrives to the table so fast. We order escargot, frog legs, the mango salad is my favorite. The lobster noodles are amazing. They also have a large menu of drinks. Teas, matcha, exotic fruit mix drinks and Thai tea.

This is THE place to have seafood. The food came out lightening quick. Seafood was fresh and well made. The fresh coconut and kumquat juice is so refreshing. A jug is perfect for 4 ppl. I brought my friends and every one of them loved it!

I would say that this place is seafood lovers heaven! The seafood is fresh and very good quality. They make it all so delicious and flavorful! It always crowded and long line during the weekend but it’s totally worth it. My favorite is the razor clams, grilled escargot, and sweet & sour fried red tilapia. The hot pot is definitely perfect for the cold winter. For the drink, I would totally recommend coconut kumquat. It’s so sweet and refreshing. The service is fast and the staff is very knowledgeable of their menu. Totally recommend for the seafood lovers and Definitely will be back again!!

First time here. Very nice. Food was delicious. Sunday 11:30 no wait. Staff was nice. Food came quick. We had the giant snails, conch & onion salad, grilled scallops, cube beef dish and clear shrimp and pork spring roll. I would definitely come back.

A very fun restaurant for seafood lovers. The menu is very extensive, so there's a lot of items to try. They specialize in shellfish, so we were most excited to try those items. The razor clams are pretty popular, but they weren't in stock when we were here at 5 pm (I hear they often are sold out quick). The King Scallop with roe were probably our favorite, but they were quite pricey at $27 for 4. We also got the garlic fatty snail, which I thought was a little heavy on the butter, but still tasted great, especially adding some of the lime and salt provided. The deep fried soft shell crab was a little disappointing - super heavy on the breading (maybe should've ordered the tempura one instead) and the flavors were inconsistent. Some of the crabs had a lot more crab roe than others and were more flavourful. The crab/shrimp fried rice was very tasty, but the shrimps were just okay. The shaken beef with egg noodles was decent - the beef itself was a little tough, but the egg noodles were splendid and my favourite part. Some other things to note - no water was provided, but after asking for some, they did bring some out after a bit of a wait. There was also a complementary dessert at the end that was actually one of my favorite items of the night. It was a small bowl of coconut milk, red bean and jelly and had a lovely sweet/salty flavor. Overall, would come back to try other items. We didn't try the hotpot items this time, but we heard that those are great value and tasty as well.
