Can Asian Entertainment Bar & Grill

Years ago this was the go to place. Now it’s become just another place to avoid in Garden Grove.

This place is interesting. I went to an event here. The set up reminds me of a roller rink. Nice size, bartenders made great drinks. I gotta come back and try the food next time.

I went there for a metal show. I don’t know why anyone would assume that it’s exclusively hip-​hop azn. It’s a venue. And like any other venue, it’s available for rental to anyone who needs to throw a show or other event. Everything seemed to be in order. Except, the bathroom was out of soap and paper towels. I paid cash anyway, so I don’t know whether or not they took plastic. I didn’t notice any chaos with the management, but the event was ran by the people leasing for the night. The cops showed up and fined the owner for some reason, unknown to me. One thing that was exceptional: I had the best burger ever. Yes, surprisingly the best burger I ever had!

I went to this place on a friday night to see my boyfriends band play. It was a cool venue with 2 bars and some seating separated from the dance floor/​pit area. My major complaint is that there is a $ 10 minimum if your using a credit card which pretty much means that you have to buy at least 2 drinks. So, I bought 2 white Russians (they were super stingy on the alcohol might I add) for a total of $ 18 which I thought was kind of pricy for 2 drinks but whatever. A couple days later, I checked my credit card charges and saw that they charged my $ 22.50!!! WTF. Not cool at all. If overcharging their customers is something that they try to get away with often, then this place is definitely NOT worth going to.
Oh and there is a huge whole in the ceiling of the girls bathroom that they tried to cover up with some wood and a sheet but that just ended up falling down into one of the stalls. I hope that at least the $ 4.50 they overcharged me with is going to fixing that. If they want to make it in the nightlife world, they are going to have to step up there game.

It was ridiculous, I’m not trying to be mean but the bartender was an old chubby asian with huge sagging breasts and a very tight outfit. to make matters worse, I wasn’t feeling my best and asked for a cup of water and she said it would be 1 dollar for a cup or 2 dollars for an arrowhead waterbottle! How can I get charged for a 6 ounce of tap water? I was in shock no other bar or club charges for a cup of water. They’re trying to squeeze any change out of their costumers. This place is not worth your time. Save yourself the gas and regret.

WOW. This place could be awesome, but ITS NOT. The space is great, the stage isnt bad, they are a kitchen and parking! But its dead and the drinks are way overpriced. If I won the lottery I would make this into the raddest bar/​show venue in the OC!

The Can Club is quickly developing into a nice little local club. There is some great entertainment and it’s a lot of fun! It’s easy to get a table. As the club grows I hope they will open a second bar.

uhh i dont know what this place is. from the reviews, it was some sort of asian restaurant/​nightclub. i went there last weekend and it was a metal place. how do you go from asian to metal?
the bathroom was disgusting. they were out of soap, and kindly provided a bottle of dish soap to make up for it.
the paper towels were stuck in the dispenser, so after your dish soap experience, you couldnt dry your hands.
everything was cash only. so i didnt get anything. not like i would have anyway, the food didnt look too great. there were fliers laying around advertising a 9 dollar steak dinner. eek.
the clientele was interesting. a lot of missing teeth. a lot of hair. a lot of metal.
if i could give it no stars, i would.
ps. theres a sign at the front that says they charge a 5 dollar re entry fee. watch out!

Came here for a UCI clubbing event. Spacious and well ventilated. Bartenders were friendly and I appreciated the number of seats available that was separated from the dance floor. It’s just too bad the the DJ for the event completely sucked.

Wow. Just wow.
Potentially ZERO stars because of the TERRIBLE management. I don’t think I have the words to express how truly HORRIBLE this place is. My sorority had an exchange with a fraternity here and SOOO many things went AWOL. First off, they did not produce a contract for us. Instead, they had the social chair of the fraternity literally write one up himself. Kinda shady, but okay…
Second, we purchased food and water for our event, which they stored for us in their kitchen. When we arrived, they informed us that we could not use the water, we have to purchase water from them for $ 3/​cup. They would not let us into the «venue» until we agreed to purchase water from them, AND they wanted a prepaid deposit of $ 200 for the water before letting us in. Way to spring this on us the NIGHT of the party as we arrived and were waiting in line. We had to scramble around to see which broke college student had enough money in their bank account to withdraw this $ 200, and thus everyone was waiting outside for nearly an hour in the cold at 10:30 pm.
Third, they required ID’s from everyone, which for private parties like these, is pretty unusual. A huge handful of people fell into this category.
Fourth, CASH ONLY. THEY DO NOT HAVE A CREDIT CARD MACHINE. The bar was CASH ONLY.
Fifth, we hired our own DJ, but ended up having to pay $ 70 because the dj PLUGGED his equipment in at the venue.
Sixth, MANAGEMENT SUCKED. RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE.
The only thing this place had going for them is that it was spacious.
Otherwise, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Hahaha, oh the can… Is this place even open still?
Only went here once for a frat’s clubbing event. I remember the can fondly as the place where one of my good guy friends almost got into a fight with an azn. All because one of their guys kept trying to dance with me more than my friend were comfortable with. Yay for protective friends!
No, but seriously. You’ll want to have protective guy friends to be with you if you’re a girl.

I went to The Can because of an event a club I was in threw.
The Can lacks in every department you would expect a club/​lounge to want to excel in.
The dance floor is small so half the time you are dancing with your girl, you are also dancing with the dude behind you trying to creep up on your friends.
The drinks aren’t good either so if you think you can just grab a drink at the bar and try not to let the night go to waste. Think again.
The DJ that night wasn’t great either but at that point it wouldn’t even matter because if the music was good, you’d have a bad time dancing anyway.
All in all, The Can is probably the last place you want to go to. They don’t even bother making the place look nice.
Avoid like the plague.

horrible club. i only came here often because it was the closest 18+ club. the area is in the middle of viet town, so obviously you’re going to get a lot of thugy viets butt-​humping you. the drinks are not terribly priced but a bit small. but the gogo dancers are a huge disappointment guys! not hot and can’t dance. so if you’re desperate to go clubbing and don’t want to drive far, sure come here, but if you take the extra 10 minutes to get down to even sharks, i promise you won’t regret it.

I came here for their Bun Bo Hue [Central Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup]; different from Phở.
First, this place seems to be a night club, but during the day, it serves food. The sign says that they serve Bun Bo Hue from 9 am — 7 pm. The day I went, they were ONLY serving Bun Bo Hue. Good thing, ‘cuz I was there for Bun Bo Hue.
The décor is … well, weird. It is a club with tables around; not really a restaurant. But the utensils and table were clean and well-​spaced out. It was a little dark, but then I am all about a food; I don’t care that it was a little cavernous.
The Bun Bo Hue came out hot and well presented with the right greens and herbs. It was brought out in a bowl (of course) and a plate under it so the server isn’t dipping his thumbs in your soup. Definite plus for this.
The soup was hot, spicy, and delicious. The meat was plentiful. The most important thing is the quality of the tendons … and they did not disappoint. The tendons were well-​done and soft, not jaw-​breaking hard like some lesser places.
The authenticity was definitely all there. They included pork feet and pork blood in the soup. This is how it’s done. Wonderful and Delicious. I am thinking about my next bowl as I am writing this review.
Now for the negatives: What is up with the name? «The Can»??? Huh? What? why is it in a club? Can you turn on the lights a little, please?
Bottom line: Great food; atmosphere is a little weird to be sure.
