50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Arcadia

“Very friendly staff that remembers everyone’s face. Amazing portion size for the pho and incredibly taste for the price. Absolutely no shortcuts in quality anywhere. Very hard to beat! Staffed by 3 aunties up front with an uncle cooking in the back.“

“The broth is perfect! The sweet basil is sooooo good!! I love the egg rolls and how they serve them with lettuce and cucumber and a sweet sauce!!!“

“Food/Taste/ - Pho (Beef Noodle Soup) of Tai Gau Gan Sach (#3 rare steak, fatty brisket, tendon, and tripe) and Tai Gan (#13 rare streak, tendon). Large portion for noodles and reasonable for the meats. The soup was salty overall but it didn't taste as umami as we hoped for.

- quick and to the point service with no fluff

- clean and brightly lit location. We came in the late afternoon so the place was mostly empty

Value for price: 5/5 - quick service, good portion size, and decent food“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

“Small little place with only a small bench to eat outside. I usually just get a. Sandwich and a coke and eat it in the parking lot, sitting on the wall in a sunny spot-And I have a great time.

I call this a win. I have the same thing every time. I know I should try something new. Next time maybe“

“Best bánh mì sandwich I ever ate. I had the #8 charbroiled pork. So good!! Very highly recommend this place.“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Went there for breakfast around 10am and it was nice and empty. Food came out fast and tasted good. Came with a lot of basil and cilantro. They have an extensive menu. Only downside is the parking directly behind the restaurant is limited to 5-6 spots. If it’s full you have to park in the parking garage“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“It's easily the best Banh Mi joint in all of SoCal. This place tops them all. The attention to detail is superb. They come individually packaged in a box, sauce, and veggies on the side to keep the sandwich crisp. Bread made in house, probably, based on the way the bread has irregular edges and the overall quality. Bread is soft and light in the middle and extra crispy on the outside. The best sandwich here is the Roasted Pork. Listen, there's the usual dry roasted pork you get from those roasted duck houses, and then there's this. All you foodies know what im talking about. This roast is simply done right. It's crispy and light skin around soft juicy meat and fat. No hard glass shards breaking off a over done wet roasted pork belly here. It's roasted to perfection. You know it's cooked at a perfect 165 to retain the juices. The chef really really knows what he/she is doing. Don't expect all meat and no fat. It's not a bourgeois place. And dont expect a 12 dollar rip off. It's not that either. It's a wholesome mom and pop join that service fair priced $7.50 specialty sandwiches that you can't even compare to quality in Vietnam's best joint. Come here with confidence, it's simply the best Banh Mi in all of Southern California. I'm willing to bet the best for its price in all of the US and Vietnam combined. Go try it and you will definitely agree. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.“

“The banh xeo is top notch here. Both the shrimp and fish ones are great! It's so crispy and comes with lots of fresh veggies. Its even crispy and perfect when I get take out! A little pricey but it's a good portion. There is a $1 credit card fee so bring cash. I love this place so much, if only they opened for dinner!“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“Taste good and portion large“

“My husband and I love this place!

Their menu has some classic favorites like orange chicken and fried rice.

However, their bahn Minh, the spring rolls, pho is definitely why we keep coming back! Love it!!“

“The food was amazing, very hot and a lot of food for the price. I was not able to finish the house special but it was just as good the next day. The veggies were very fresh and the noodles and meat were great. The broth itself was amazing!
The Thai tea and beef rolls were fantastic, I had to order another Thai tea to go because I couldn’t get enough!
The flavor of the food was great and it is definitely one of my new favorite spots for pho. Will and have recommended to anyone looking for a good authentic pho spot!“

“Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam.

Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items.

Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better.

Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on.“

“Closed to home 25 miles but better than go to Santa Ana 45 miles. Food taste 3.9 Cleanness 4 Atmosphere 3.9 Huge place, clean and perfect bathroom“

“It's a one man band, so it took awhile for us to get our food. You will need patience. But when it comes out, it was so worth it! Next time I'd try calling and order ahead, or order a takeout. There's a lot next door that has zero marking, but you can park there.“

“I came back yesterday to enjoy their delicious foods. The owner is always kind and friendly with all customers and the staffs. When you pay, must fill in your phone number to get bonus point, they have free duck or soup depent how many points you have. I wish his business is always busy and wish all the staff all the best things on new year.“

“I absolutely love this spot for Vietnamese food. Every dish I've tried has been consistently flavorful, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. My standout favorites include the fried egg rolls, the Banh Mi Bo Kho, and the Bo Luc Lac--each prepared with impressive attention to detail and authentic taste.

There's still so much on the menu I'm excited to explore, so I'll certainly be returning to Pho Hai. An honorable mention goes to their Spring rolls, Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Thai Tea, both of which are wonderfully bold, rich, and balanced.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, Pho Hai is a must-visit.“

“Found this hidden pho spot in Pico Rivera and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a small restaurant but very clean with a fresh, modern vibe and trendy music. Everything looks new, which made the experience even better.

The server was attentive at the start, though he didn’t come back to check if we needed additional refills. The dumplings were on the smaller side and a bit pricey, but they were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. The pho itself was hot, delicious, and very satisfying.

Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. This place is worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.“

“The food is very good here, and the service is great. When I lived in Monterey Park, I went there many times. I came back from San Diego, and the food is still very good. I like crab udon (bánh canh cua) the most because it's much better than any Vietnamese restaurants I've tried. Highly recommended.“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“the food is always very flavorful“

“I was seated as soon as I walked thru the door. As soon as I looked up from my menu, someone came to take my order. I went to the bathroom, sat down and my food arrived within 5 minutes of me parking my car. These guys are always so fast and the food is always delicious.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in SGV. I’ve lived here for 25 years, and this place has been my go-to for a long time. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the restaurant is super clean. I always get the dry vermicelli — the lemongrass beef is packed with flavor, and the shrimp rolls are crispy and so good. They’ve got a nice variety of beers too, which makes it a fun spot to hang out with friends. The owners are always around, super friendly, and you can tell they really care about keeping the place in great shape.“

“Recently opened its door in the Temple City, Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is the new culinary destination for Vietnamese cuisine lovers. Having moved to Temple City, it stands proudly across from Summer Roll, inviting diners to embark on a gastronomic journey to Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

The restaurant’s specialty, Bun Bo Hue, is a testament to the authentic flavors of Huế. This Vietnamese beef noodle soup, known for its spicy and robust taste, is served in a generous portion brimming with succulent meat. The rich and aromatic broth leaves a lingering warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.

For those eager to explore the breadth of Huế’s culinary landscape, the Hue Combo is a must-try. This dish is a culinary mosaic, showcasing the region’s famous noodle-based delights. It’s an ideal choice for newcomers and connoisseurs alike, offering a sample platter of Huế’s pride.

While the Bun didn’t quite meet expectations, it holds promise. A tweak in noodle texture to achieve that coveted al dente bite, paired with a more traditional Vietnamese egg roll, could elevate this dish to new heights.

The Pho presents a soulful broth that sings with depth and clarity. However, the noodles yearn for a bit more finesse to match the soup’s excellence.

Service at Kim Hoa Hue is attentive and earnest, although a broader grasp of English would enhance the overall experience. For now, Google Translate bridges the communication gap, adding a touch of modernity to the dining experience.

The ambiance is as fresh as the flavors, with a bright and contemporary setting that promises growth and refinement. Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a slice of Huế’s regal cuisine with every dish. With a few culinary tweaks, this establishment is poised to become a cornerstone of the local food scene.“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“Tiny little mom and pop place in the Arden Plaza between Bank of America and Action Lanes bowling. The kind lady served me. Seems pretty clean and quiet. I'll update you on my food soon.

Update! Food is beautiful and delicious“

“First of all BEST Pho in town. OMG!!!customer service is awesome. Been coming here since they first opened. Will keep coming back for more Pho and other foods.“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, cozy enough to relax, but still stylish in a way that makes you want to stay a little longer. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being pushy, yah they checked in at just the right moments and made me feel genuinely taken care of.

And the food… absolutely outstanding. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor, but the star of the meal was definitely the Phở. It was rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced, the kind of traditional, authentic taste that’s getting harder to find these days. The broth had that deep, slow-cooked flavor that feels like home, and the toppings were perfectly prepared.

Overall, it was one of those dining experiences where everything just clicks, great service, great space, and truly memorable food. I’d 100% come back and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a real, comforting bowl of Phở and an all-around fantastic meal !!!“

“Love love love, It was my first time going and I ordered the Brisket Pho, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Sesame Balls, And Vietnamese Iced Coffee (My favorite 10 out of 10 alone) was amazing. It was a 10 out of 10 for me can't wait to try their other options. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤“

“The only bun bo hue I'll get outside of little Saigon!
Typically I go get Vietnamese food in little Saigon since I'm from there and no other Viet food compares for the price.
However, this particular Saturday evening it would've been more of a drive, so I decided to try this spot! Price was pretty reasonable, portions were huge and from the first sip of my broth, I could tell it was delicious.
Also bonus point for the owners children who were running around and kept my baby entertained while she was eating so my husband and I could actually eat!“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“The pho here is PHENOMENAL!
The broth is very rich and flavorful
The noodles have the perfect texture and flavor
The meat tastes very fresh
The vegetables are freshly cut

Overall
1 being the worst thing I’ve ever had
10 being the best thing I’ve ever had
7.5/10 Atmosphere is a little underwhelming
7/10 Service was ok
10/10 Food was phenomenal, this is my favorite place for tasty pho in the SGV“

“They have really good vegetarian banh mi’s! It’s a bit far from where I live but I’m so glad to have tried it! Will be back again!

Also their Vietnamese iced coffee is really strong and good. My husband gave it the seal of approval. Thank goodness for this shop!“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“Pho Kho (dry noodles) with chicken was good and flavorful. Garlic noodles with grilled shrimp was delicious but a bit pricey; more noodles would have been better for the price. Complimentary tapioca dessert was tasty.

Service was good and attentive.“

“Visited this restaurant many times in the past 10+ years. Price and serving portion are good. Tastes are great. Service wide, the guests have to be patient with the waitresses. The young waiter, works evening shift only, is friendly with humor.“

“The food's not bad, and is decently priced. Place is small, but it's not like you're cramped. If they were on DoorDash, I'd order more takeouts from them, but sadly they're not on there. Also, even though their OPEN light stays on, you should look at the sign and the lights to see if they're actually opened. 😅“

“Awesome service, great fOOd, large TVs , nice portions- Wish they had delivery service ;)“

“My family used to go here often, but no longer do so I decided to drop in myself for some curry. They serve such a delicious free cup of chicken broth, SO good. I was their only customer and they offered to give me another while I waited for my food. Then I got my chicken curry, it was good! I really hope business picks up for them. Like I said, I was the only customer and there were about three other staff members in there but they were all minding their own business while I ate so I felt relaxed and a bit home-y :)“
