50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Brea

“It's a Pho restaurant, what'd you expect the atmosphere to be? In all seriousness, the food is great. The portions are definitely greater than what'd you expect. And the price is definitely comparable to the amount of good food you're getting.

Shout out to Sal! He runs the show quite well!“

“As someone who is particular about Thai food, Thai Seven in Downtown Brea genuinely impressed me. This is one of those hidden gems where you can immediately tell there is real attention being paid to the kitchen.

The first thing that stood out was the aroma—the unmistakable fragrance of a properly fired wok, with that smoky depth that gives Thai cooking so much character. The Spaghetti Kee Mao was exceptional: aromatic, savory, beautifully seasoned, and full of wok-fired flavor without being overwhelmed by sauce. The popcorn chicken arrived golden and remarkably crisp, yet remained tender and juicy inside.

The biggest surprise was the Crying Tiger beef. It was beautifully grilled, tender, flavorful, and easily comparable to something I would expect from a quality steakhouse. The execution was excellent.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive and welcoming. Owner Nova personally made us feel at home, adding the kind of genuine hospitality that separates a good restaurant from a memorable one.

Thai Seven isn’t trying to reinvent Thai cuisine—it simply executes it extremely well. Authentic flavors, proper wok cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. For anyone searching for excellent Thai food in the Brea area, this hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Brea deserves your attention.

One important thing to know: Thai Seven is under new ownership. For anyone reading older negative reviews, I would encourage you to give this restaurant another look. Things have changed. The quality of the food, service, and overall experience we received reflects a restaurant moving in a very positive direction.“

“Pho Ha in Brea offers a delicious and satisfying experience of Vietnamese cuisine. The pho soup was truly flavorful and high-quality — with an authentic and comforting taste. The beef rolls were also very tasty and well-prepared.
The restaurant environment is clean and pleasant, and the staff were polite, friendly, and professional. The service was good, although it took a bit of time for the food to arrive.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is the relatively high price of the pho compared to similar restaurants. While the food quality is excellent, I expected the pricing to be a bit more reasonable. That said, the overall experience was good, and I’d likely return again.“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“I’m guessing this restaurant is a Vietnamese fusion.
Chicken pho - solid.
Prawn vermicelli noodles with fish sauce. The prawns were a bit overcooked so hard to peel but seasoned perfectly and huge! I didn’t enjoy my noodles as much as the prawns because I’m not a fan of this restaurant’s fish sauce. It’s lacking complexity… a bit of sugar and acid in their fish sauce would improve this dish tremendously.
House wontons - solid. Delicious on its own. Well seasoned so it doesn’t even need the sweet chili sauce that in came with In my opinion .
Eggrolls - meh. They smelled strongly of fish sauce. I would skip it if you didn’t grow up eating fish sauce; it stunk! What’s worse is the sauce that came with it is fish sauce too! I grew up eating egg rolls seasoned with salt to taste without a dipping sauce so this recipe is new to me.
Kumquat tea - it’s kumquat syrup so it tasted weird and overpowered the jasmine tea. I mainly tasted lemonade and the kumquat syrup. I should have asked if the tea was made from fresh squeezed kumquat juice, silly me… 🤦🏽‍♀️ skip this!
Fast service. Fried food arrives HOT so let it cool down first!
I will return to try their Lomo Saltado, pasta or, fried rice dishes.“

“Yummy pho! Super clean restaurant and great service. I have tried both the chicken pho and the beef pho. Chicken pho is so good especially with the fried donut. I like getting dark meat only. Their garlic fish sauce pairs so nicely with it. For the beef pho, they only have it with the rare steak but the broth is so good and flavorful. Highly recommend!“

“Every city needs a restaurant like Saiga. It’s the kind of place where you know you'll get a delicious meal warm hospitality and a relaxing atmosphere every single visit. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in Orange County“

“Excellent Pho noodle soup near Knotts Berry Farm. Note: no more stir fried noodle on the menu. I ordered the beef noodle soup and beef tendon pho. Excellent variety of beef tripe, beef ball, tendon, and brisket. Friendly counter service for takeout and good portion size.“

“這餐廳很好吃風格很好“

“we had great service and great food.“

“Solid bowl of pho that hits all the right notes. I ordered a bowl of noodles that came generously packed with meat, and it really stood out right away, no skimping here. The broth is the real highlight though: deeply flavorful, rich without being heavy, and clearly simmered with care.

Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portion size was more than satisfying. It’s the kind of pho you don’t need to doctor up much, just a squeeze of lime and a little chili, and it’s perfect.

Service was quick and straightforward, and the place has that easy, no frills vibe that lets the food do all the talking. Definitely a go-to spot in Cypress when you’re craving a comforting, well-made bowl of pho.“

“The service of this place is AMAZING. The young front desk hostess/server was so kind and professional. She was patient with my special needs friend, and went above and beyond to help her order. She did not rush us and was understanding. 5/5

This is a solid place for to-go orders. The pho is about $13-15, and comes with tasty hot broth carefully covered for safety. The noodles/meat/toppings separate. The portions are good, I usually can get two-ish meals out of it. The vegetarian option is decent.“

“Great Pho, hot and fresh every time. I like this spot because it's a quick in & out. They always have enough staff to make sure you're taken care of right away. Always consistent on quality and service. I wish they were open on Sunday's, and open a little later on Friday and Saturday nights. I'd probably eat here more often if they were.“

“Bánh mì chảo và bò lúc lắc với garlic noodle rất ngon, giá vừa phải 👍🏻“

“I cannot believe I have been eating here for five years ever since I first moved to the US. I have tried many pho places, but I still love the flavor here the meat is tender, and the broth and everything blend together in such a harmonious way. Everyone on the recycletattoo team eats here and often orders takeout for our American and Mexican tattoo clients to introduce them to what Northern Vietnamese pho tastes like. The only downside is that this long standing restaurant hasn't upgraded its space, and the herbs are a bit too wet when served, which can make it a bit difficult to invite clients over to dine in. Still, I love the taste here and hope for some improvements so we can send even more clients from our tattoo shop over.“

“Had a great meal at Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang! The portions were generous and definitely worth the price. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, the service was fast, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for a satisfying plate of cơm tấm at a fair price, this is a great spot to check out. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“Great service and great tasting Pho. My kids love it here“

“I have been patiently waiting for this place to reopen tomorrow January 28, 2026. They deserved a break from all the hard dedicated work it takes to run a restaurant.
I am taking my daughter and adopted daughter there for their first time. I already know what I am ordering and can taste the goodness. .
The couple that own and operate this Bistro are very friendly makes you feel like family. . The food is always fresh and delicious.
Yum, I can almost taste it while i write this.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“Taste good and portion large“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Good, authentic Vietnamese food with plenty of menu options for families and groups of friends. The dishes were tasty and there was something for everyone. One thing to note: the restaurant prefers cash payments and adds a 3% fee for credit card transactions.“

“Adore the pho broth from this restaurant! Nice balance of herbal and meaty taste, with slightly fatty mouth feel, and hot enough to cook my bean sprouts. 👍 They also let me order the kid-sized pho with whichever meat I wanted (combo style), which I really appreciated on my diet. Egg rolls were fried fresh and hot.

Plus I genuinely enjoyed eating inside the restaurant. Cozy and clean, with gentle music playing. I'm coming back!“

“Absolutely amazing, the portions are huge and prices are exquisite. The family that runs this place is super nice and welcoming, and they’ve decorated the restaurant so nicely. The pho is by far my favorite, with really high quality meat. The appetizers are only 5 dollars and better than any other place I’ve tried. Truly the best pho spot out there.“

“This place has the best Pho and Lousiana Cajun seafood near Knott's Berry Farm.

Its located on Magnolia near La Palma Ave same center as Popeyes.

Its a mom and pop operation and the food seems home cooked.

Atmosphere is quiet and soothing with the sound of birds

The Lousiana seafood can be boiled which is a great healthier option. The fried seafood is savory.

You must try the Rib Cube beef Pho its super beefy.“

“Bueno“

“Ngon 🤩 Khỏi cần phải về VN ăn uống làm gì 🤔 Cứ sang đây Đến loay hoay đây ăn là chuẩn 😎 K sợ ôm bụng chạy 😅“

“I am not local to the OC. But this place had been on my Saved place for a while. As I was passing through to another appointment, I was on a time crunch. There was a significant wait, but the folks at the restaurant heard me and tried to make things work. Otherwise I was going to order a take out. So they get a plus for service. The food was good too. I really liked the different noodle options. Though the flavor was not as rich as I had thought they'd be. But it is still pretty ok.“

“My favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. I always get their number 18 pho which is brisket and well done flank. This place is the only place around me that serves amazing food while being very affordable. Service is always welcoming and room is always filled with happy customers.“

“Non's is a hidden gem that has always been consistent with its Vietnamese food that pretty authentic. Its a great spot to hit before going to the Honda center or Angels stadium. Probably the best value too as prices have remained reasonable compared to the other shops. Staff is very friendly as well. This lot has had a lot of turnover with places not being able to stay open very long (seems like a property management issue) but im glad Non's has stuck around.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“Tastes great! Excellent service and very clean restaurant.“

“Yes!!!! So happy to have an amazing pho place across the street from me. They use grass fed beef and have high quality cuts like rib eye. Great broth too! Very flavorful, and they only use a little MSG in their broth. Also have gluten free rice paper rolled/fried egg rolls! I'll be back often :)“

“Great hidden little joint! You can order take-out or sit at the bar/counter. We got the beef garlic noodles and special Vietnamese crepe. The garlic noodles had a proper amount of garlic and flavor. There were kind enough to cut the crepe in half for us to eat is easier. Both dishes were deliciously made and we'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Have not sampled their entire (impressive) menu, but my go-to double-chicken green curry soup is by far THE BEST I’ve ever had!!! Great service that truly epitomizes small mom & pop shop. Patronize this great little eatery, and you won’t be disappointed!!“

“One of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurants I have found in orange county!“

“I tried this pho when they soft open. Pho was good, best in the area meaning Rowland and Hacienda heights. Our Viet food here in 91745 is medicare at best, until Phoholic opened and Arrived here. You know when Pho good when you walk into the business and come out smell like pho production lol!. Anyways the pho is very good but not the best. They can tone down on the sweetness a Bit too sweet for me. I think will try again when thing cool down in Cali, they need to tone down on the sweetness and I def give them a 5 Star for now its 4 four star. great quality noodles and meat just pho too sweet. Great workers, very nice and sweet!!! Pho use to be poor man's food now it a luxury sad days now.“

“Great soups. I tried pork blood here for the first time. 👍🏽“

“Great food and service! My husband loves ordering fried calamari everywhere, and this place has his all-time favorite fried calamari! Has great food for both an adult palate and kid’s palate so everyone’s happy. Kid got a banh mi sandwich and ate the whole thing! They made it not spicy. Surprisingly kid friendly. Can’t wait to come back here on our next Disney trip!“

“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.“

“So glad we stumbled upon this spot! The pho was delicious, but the real star was the extra crispy noodles(they’re basically like chips), and my son absolutely loved them. The portions are huge with plenty of meat, so it’s definitely worth the price. We actually shared two bowls between the three of us and it was more than enough. The broth is so flavorful, we'll definitely be back!“
