Where can I buy edible bird's nest in Orange County, California?
Orange County buyers have three realistic options: a specialist shop, a large Asian supermarket, or an online seller. Ten Lei Yen is the specialist option, located in Westminster, the city at the center of Little Saigon.
Here are the store facts in one place:
- Address: 9741 Bolsa Ave, Suite 107, Westminster, CA 92683 (Little Saigon)
- Phone: 714-418-9788
- Hours: Monday–Saturday 10 AM–6 PM, Sunday 10 AM–5 PM
- Online: nationwide shipping from tenleiyen.com
- Who we are: a family-run business focused on edible bird's nest and cordyceps since 2007
Ten Lei Yen imports Indonesian nest directly, hand-cleans it and grades it as Blue Label, Red Label or 5A. That means the person who answers your questions in the store is talking about stock the family selected, not a product they only unpacked.
Where to buy bird's nest in Little Saigon, Westminster CA?
Walk into our store on Bolsa Avenue in Little Saigon, and you will find a shop built around one category rather than a general aisle. Because we only sell bird's nest and cordyceps, the shelves are short and every item can be explained.
There is parking at the plaza. Bring questions: first-time visitors often ask what the grades mean, how many servings a box makes and which nest suits a gift.
What should I expect when I walk into the store?
In our Westminster store, you can pick up and look at dry whole nests before you buy anything. This is the part of the experience that online listings cannot match.
- Whole nests in clear rectangular boxes. Nests are displayed dry and whole in clear boxes, so you can look at the strand structure, shape and color yourself.
- Grades explained in person. Staff explain Blue Label, Red Label and 5A, and what separates one from another.
- Side-by-side comparison. You can compare white, golden and red nest next to each other instead of reading about the color differences.
- Cordyceps sold by piece size. Cordyceps is sold by piece size, so you can see how a large piece differs from a small one.
- Gift occasions. Staff can help you choose a box for Tết (Lunar New Year), Mid-Autumn, weddings and other occasions.
A question we often hear at the counter is how much to buy the first time. Our standard answer is that one standard serving is 3–5 g of dry nest, and one whole nest of 8–14 g covers roughly 2–4 standard servings, so a small box goes a long way.

Best Asian herbal tonic shop in Westminster or Garden Grove, CA?
It depends on what you want to buy. Ten Lei Yen is a bird's nest and cordyceps specialist, not a general herbal pharmacy, and the two kinds of shop serve different needs.
| Type of shop | What to expect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Specialist (bird's nest and cordyceps) | Short, well-explained range; grades, origin and price per gram stated; staff can discuss one category in depth | Buying nest or cordyceps, comparing grades, gifts |
| General herbal shop | Wide range of dried herbs, roots and mixed ingredients; broader but shallower knowledge on each item | Assembling many different herbal ingredients in one trip |
We describe our products by culinary role, origin and grading, not by medical outcomes. For medical questions, please speak with a physician.
