50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Bell Gardens

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

“A quaint spot tucked away in Chinatown. We got the mi xao don, banh cuon, and pho dac biet and all were delicious. The skin on the banh cuon was different but not in a bad way, the filling was well flavored. The pho was on point but the star of the show was the mi xao don - the noodles were crispy, the veggies fresh, and they were generous with the sauce (and the flavor was perfect). I was also incredibly impressed with the service. I didn’t catch the server’s name but he was very cheery and attentive. A great experience overall.“

“We did not dine in so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service, but the banh mi sandwiches? Perfection. The pork was well marinated and super tender, there was a good tang from the pickled carrot and daikon, the baguette is crusty yet soft, and the cucumber/cilantro/jalapeno was fresh and crunchy. We ate the sandwiches in silence which always means the food is good. This is a long-winded review just to say - Get the banh mi. 👌🏻“

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

“loved eating there with pops“

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

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“I randomly discovered the place for Ban Xeo. Quite an interesting dish. It is very crispy. You wrap each bite with the lettuce.
I am new to it, so my table was a bit of a mess.

The owner, a guy, spoke english. That’s good.

There was a sign that says they’ll take credit card, but charge a $1 fee. I think that’s a bit steep.

There’s ample parking at the back.“

“I came by with my boyfriend to check out this place after watching a movie, the food was great hit the spot and their Thai tea was bomb.com. I was so quick to stuffing my face that I forgot to take pictures! But overall a great experience and good atmosphere :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“This spot is a hidden gem for Vietnamese sandwiches. The BBQ pork sandwich is a must-try, bursting with flavor. Every item on the menu is authentic and delicious, making it my go-to spot. I recommend starting with the BBQ pork and exploring the rest. The quality is consistently excellent, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. I always call ahead for a quick pick up. Parking lot gets crowded but never had an issue.“

““The bomb.com” Pico Rivera has needed a good Pho restaurant for a long time now. I tried this place the other day for the first time and it was just right. Had a sore throat due to this shitty December weather and it was very delicious and soothing. Little pricey but the quality is worth the price.“

“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“

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

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“15. Com Tam King Special is good but not so good as expectation when it looks like the best one which this restaurant recommended.

79. House special with beef combo is really nice. Highly recommend. We would come again because of this beef noodle. The soup and beef is delicious.

The service is good. People here are very friendly and serve efficiently.“

“I absolutely love, love, loooooove this family friendly jewel. Starting with the food first ?, there is an abundance of everything even if it's a plate order for one person. The broth is clean, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors do NOT stop with mmmmmm?. Your meal experience, will result in you leaving with a happy and full belly. I've even seen some family that brought children, with excitement for the food here and kids can be picky. The service is quick, communication is clear, and the restaurant team is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff, all work really hard together, to keep their customers consistently happy. They go above and beyond here, to make sure your experience is a full and comfortably wholesome one. The atmosphere is unforgettably clean like their pho broth?, there is more than enough space to keep to yourself or enjoy your company in your own bubble together with your meals. They also have outside seating, for those who prefer fresh air to themselves. I would NOT sleep on this place, if I were you. Plenty of parking, and walking distance to public transportation for those who are not personally mobile. I highly recommend this place, to anyone looking for tasty and clean pho options.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“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!“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

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

“Flavors are awesome!
Amazing pho place. One of the best Vietnamese food places in Montebello. The server she was excellent with courtesy and lots of people skills. Great service.
They have drive thru and parking in the back.“

“My mother in law wanted a good Pho place. So we tried this place for lunch. We were skeptical. Guess what, she told me to order 1 extra bowl (number 12) for to go because their Pho is so good! They speak Korean with other guest but their Vietnamese foods are authentic and tasty!

So sánh ngang với Phoholic dưới OC, quán phở bà người Hàn Quốc nhưng rất ngon!“

“This place is nice and spacious, service was good. The Pho has good flavor. The wonton noodle soup was okay, but not sure what was in the wonton. ? …not a fan. Watch out for the tip calculations at the bottom of your receipt , it is done after tax is added on, which is wrong, should be calculated BEFORE TAX is added. Do your own calculation. Park in the parking structure in the back.“

“Free house special tea, choices of hot or ice cold. Yummy duck with refresh salad under neath it. First time to taste fried shredded banana flower on the side of the salad.
Super friendly waitress and waiter

Parking: Limited space but street parking is available“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“It’s a simple pho restaurant with neat interior.The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn’t anything special… the server wasn’t mean but not nice either.I don’t know, it was good but nothing special…Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it’s close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.

Parking: $3 in 2023“

“Honestly? Everything. One of my fav is the cornish hen. They have a special sauce for that.“

““On a wonderful weekend day, my family and I went to MIỀN TÂY restaurant. We really liked this place; it was clean and spacious, with friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, and we will definitely come back again soon.”“

“The Tofu Spring Rolls are good, but lacking flavor. Me personally, I like peanut butter, but the Hoisin Sauce with Peanut Butter had a weird aftertaste. The pork chop was nice and charred, but also lacked some flavor. The vermicelli (noodles) is a nice filler. Great service, and overall nice interior, the only real problem is being crammed with space.“

“es deliciosa la sopa y todo y los empleados muy hamables y lo mejor que hablan español. 👌“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“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!“

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

“Food here is REALLY GOOD. Owners are really hands-on in making and delivering you the best version of their offerings. I had Pho Dac Biet and the Broken Rice. I haven’t had something this good in a while and i eat out all the time. Anyone reading this should not hesitate to come and try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I haven't found a pho joint that can rival this place. All others are compared to this standard. Love this place.

2025 May 23
Been a loyal customer for the past 15+ years at both locations.
1) Delicious fresh GENEROUS (perfect broth and noodles)
2) Friendly staff

this place is our gold standard for Vietnamese food and PHO.

If you haven't been, you are missing out! 🔥🥢“

“Delicious papaya salad, lemon grass beef noodles and the rice rolls!! Freaking scrumptious! The chef at this restaurant is the BOMB! Whomever it is knows the art to cooking delicious meals. We promise to always keep you in business. Pleas stay the course during this nutty pandemic. We need food like Little Sisters to keep our souls alive! Ps- we miss their poppin music! And yes we are “down with the OPP and the BIG”“

“I’ve been coming here for whenever I want a quick, good Vietnamese sandwich. And they never disappoint.
I definitely recommend their meatball subs and their Saigon sandwich. Their croissant is big, fluffy and warm. Super yummy! Just anything in their menu, thank you very much super yummy.“

“Very clean, nice environment.
They have changed ownership and go by Vietnamese restaurant express now.
Bartender gave out free ice chia lattes when i was there which was really nice.
It was also slow so don’t count on the same perks when you visit.
Definitely would try again“

“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“

“Came on someone’s recommendation. My first impression was that they were understaffed and looked overwhelmed. There’s only a handful of full of tables in this modest restaurant. The wait was 30-45 minutes even though there weren’t that many customers. But we were invested after 15 minutes, so figured we’d rough it out. So glad we did because the food was sooooooo good. The portions are generous and everything tastes so fresh. The prices are also low compared to other places with less good food. They could easily raise their prices by $5 and I would still think it was worth it because it was so good. So come but be prepared to wait even when it’s not busy. Cash only. There’s street parking or if you can find the hidden side street that leads to their parking lot in the rear.“

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“

“Absolutely my fav chicken Pho ever! Flavorful and tasty broth, but can confirm that not walking chicken (cage free) tho. Nice clean restaurant and they've AC 😜. The side sauce of Dry rice noodles was so good, yall have to try that one ☝️“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! We've ordered a couple times from Postmates and we have never been disappointed. I love the spicy lemongrass chicken and my husband loves the pork belly and the shaken beef. The shrimp and pork egg rolls are unlike any egg roll over ever had and so delicious. And don't get me started on the sparkling limeade. This place is such a gem. We'll be ordering from them forver.

Dietary restrictions: We have a peanut allergy and they are always careful to not include any nuts“

“Extremely nice workers and the food was amazing. Spring rolls, summer rolls, and pho tai were all outstanding.“

“Ordered number 30 and the meat was sweet and flavorful. Bean curd was pretty good. Egg with crab was actually very yummy but i didn't like the salted egg.
Pickled vegetables were DELISH in combo with everything else on the plate and it came with soup which was light and flavorful.

Also tried the passion fruit soda which was a unique kind of carbonation that was less bubble and more fizzy stingy? The passion fruit flavor was strong though which I enjoyed“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“🙏🏆🥂 reasonable price, excellent food and good service.“
