Welcome to Brodard Express

“ Refreshingly fresh for airport food. Pastries are world class. Banh Mi sandwiches are generous and the ingredients are top quality. Other items like vermicelli bowls looked good too. ”

“ Best airport food I’ve ever had in America! Was surprised to see a Vietnamese restaurant at an airport, and was even more surprised when I had the Vermicelli noodles with Pork, that it was very delicious and similar to what I had in Vietnam. This restaurant has also made John Wayne one of my favorite airports. Would highly recommend! ”

“ Probably some of the best airport food in America. It's also open early in the morning. Berkshire pork banh mi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - it's pork BBQ - it's so good - I wasn't expecting the vegetables to be so fresh ”

“ One of the most unexpected surprises of airport food. I had the best grilled shrimp vermicelli bowl. You can tell it’s authentic when they have fresh mint leaves! Green iced tea with boba also excellent. ”

“ I was excited to see Brodard at SNA, so I had to stop by and grab some items. The food was good and consistent with what I expected. A bit pricey due to being at the airport. * Grilled Pork Spring Rolls (Nem Nuong) 5/5 - My favorite item to get. It's grilled pork pate and vegetables wrapped in rice paper. The sweet and savory dipping sauce was a treat. * Ribeye Springs Rolls (Thit Bo Cuon) 4/5 - Ribeye meat and vegetables wrapped in rice paper with cilantro dipping sauce. This was good, but I still prefer the Grilled Pork rolls more. * Vermicelli Noodles with Pork (Bun Thit Nuong) 5/5 - This was better than I expected. Soft vermicelli noodles with grilled pork pieces, vegetables, and chili fish sauce. Good amount of food and filling. ”

“ This spot is an unexpected gem, especially compared to other dining options at John Wayne Airport, and it’s an absolute treat for anyone who loves Vietnamese cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The pork banh mi, in particular, was outstanding. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and of high quality, and the flavors were perfectly balanced—just the way a great banh mi should be. It was so delicious that it left a lasting impression. The egg rolls were another highlight. Crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care, they complemented the meal perfectly. Honestly, the food here is easily 5-star quality, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone passing through the airport. The only reason I’m giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the wait time. It took about 20 minutes for our sandwich to be prepared, which felt a bit long considering most travelers at an airport are usually in a rush and looking for something quick to grab and go. While the food was definitely worth the wait, a shorter prep time would make this place even better. ”

“ Not a fan of airport food but a few places like these make your tummy happy I got a grilled chicken banh mi. Bread was crispy and fresh and the chicken marinated well. I also got almond cookies which were delicious as well. They also have pastries like croissants and bakery products. I also saw some delicious looking macarons but did not get to try those. Quick service. 100% recommend their banh mi. ”

“ The Bahn Mi and nem nuong were amazing. I ordered pork Bahn Mi, though and they gave me chicken. I was too hungry to wait for a remake, that's why I'm dinging them on service and giving 4 stars overall. My wife got the chicken vermicelli and said it was excellent. Possibly the best macaron (fruity pebbles flavored!) I've ever eaten. The baked goods all looked amazing Portions were great and the food was excellent. ”
