Thien Huong sits in the Oak Tree Plaza Center in Mira Mesa Village, a straightforward counter operation centered on one dish: bánh cuốn, the steamed rice rolls that originated in Vietnam's Dong Nai region and are traditionally eaten with fish sauce. The recipe traces back to a family bánh cuốn stall that started in Dong Nai in 1982, with this location marking the family's first branch in the United States. The kitchen combines that traditional preparation with local ingredients.
Beyond the rice rolls, the drink menu runs long — Vietnamese coffee, fruit tea, smoothies, and winter melon tea among the lineup.
The restaurant has drawn coverage from The Infatuation as part of its San Diego roundups. Regulars describe a place where the food and service can swing widely from visit to visit, with some walking away impressed and others less so.
