50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Brea

“This was the perfect lunch spot. Delicious spring rolls prepared freshly. The ingredients are displayed to ensure fresh quality and cleanliness. I tried the beef and the pork rolls, and they were both outstanding. Truly one of the best spring rolls I've had. I love that they are fast too because other options at the food court seem to take a bit too long.“

“Growing up eating pho almost as a family weekend ritual, some say I may be a hard critique. If you consider yourself a pho-holic, pho-natic, or just phoking hungry, this spot is a MUST TRY when in Orange County. Spring pork rolls also make my tummy scream more peanut butter sauce please!“

“After watching a movie with BTS J-hope nearby, our group grabbed a quick lunch at nearby Thai 7 Bistro at 1:30 pm. It was pouring outside, so we appreciated the indoor dining space and that our group of five was able to fit (thanks to the other customers who swapped tables so Thai 7 Bistro could put two tables together for us).

Since it was raining, a warm soupy dish sounded good. The kao soi ($21.95) caught most of our eyes so three of us each ordered that. I got mines with beef brisket. Crispy chicken wings were an option, but I didn't want to deal with the bones and with the wings potentially getting soggy in the soup. I usually get pad see ew or a curry or crab fried rice, so I never had kao soi before. And now that I had it, it will be part of my standard Thai food order now! I love that there were noodles in this dish plus topped with crispy noodles. The soup was almost as thick as curry. Beef brisket wasn't too fatty either. It all just went well together! I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($4.50) and that was delicious, a good balance of sweet with my very savory meal.

It did take a while for us to get the check since the restaurant got busy, but we appreciated being able to pay separately for our own order rather than try to split the bill five ways with different orders.

We had all parked at the parking structure by the theater, so it was a quick walk back. There are some street parking spots up front, but we preferred the covered parking structure given the rain.“

“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. 😋“

“Music is a little loud, place can use a better ventilation system to clear the food, the onion and grease smell of the place which stays in clothing and hair hours after we left then place. But overall, we would come back for another b owl of pho next time .“

“this spot is so convenient for dining it or for take out. they have nicely packaged meals that are both affordable for its portion, and have a great taste. we tried their garlic noodles with pork belly and i LOVED the pork belly, a constant craving. their vermicelli was also delicious, especially as leftovers once all the yummy juices have marinated the food (a personal preference). their drinks were just as enjoyable as the food, especially the lychee tea.“

“This is my go to chicken pho spot. It’s not overly busy like their main location in little Saigon. The spicy chilli sauce they have is really good if your into that stuff and if you’re not feeling like pho you can order their fried chicken leg which is super crispy that is also served up with fried chicken skin which is addicting. Just remember they are closed on wednesdays.“

“Good food starts with good water. The owner invested in good water and it shows up in the taste. This is the cleanest pho that I’ve been to in SoCal in terms of the food AND the facility. You have to try it yourself to see the difference. What a gem!“

“Great food, great service, great people! Pho Hoa checks all the boxes for a great dining experience.

I appreciate that the food is reasonably priced and always comes out piping hot. The servers are also all extremely friendly and helpful.

I started coming here a few weeks ago and am now a regular. If you're looking for a good pho place in the area, save yourself the drive to Westminster and give this place a shot!“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“This place seriously delivered. We ordered the shrimp pho, beef vermicelli, a shrimp and veggie dish with rice, taro milk tea with jelly, fried egg rolls, and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was fantastic. The shrimp spring rolls were a bit on the smaller side, but still super fresh and tasty.

Customer service was warm and welcoming, and I really appreciated that they had gluten-free soy sauce for us gluten-free baddies 🙌

The space itself is tight. Tables are small and close together, but it added a kind of street-side charm. Felt like I got a mini taste of what dining in Vietnam might be like. Cozy, vibrant, and all about the food.

The only thing I didn’t love was the bathroom situation since you have to walk around the back to get to it. The location is also right next to a laundromat, so it’s not the most glamorous setting. But honestly, once the food hit the table, I didn’t care.

Would absolutely go back.“

“這餐廳很好吃風格很好“

“The dining experience at Pho Vina was wonderful. As I've mentioned before, Pho is my ultimate comfort food. I love randomly searching for Vietnamese noodle shops in LA to satisfy my cravings. Vina is exactly what I was looking for—you don't need top-tier, luxurious décor, the fanciest cutlery, or complicated culinary techniques. When that bowl of Pho is placed in front of me, a single sip of the broth is enough to fill me with happiness, and Vina gave me that feeling.

I also ordered the Chicken Skewers; the portion was generous, and the meat was marinated perfectly. I particularly enjoyed the Raw Beef (tái); I requested that the kitchen staff blanch the meat slices for me, as I was worried the broth might not be hot enough when served, and Vina graciously accommodated my request.

Yesterday, I gave my first one-star review to a different Pho place, and that experience prompted me to seriously give Vina a five-star rating to prove that I don't have any prejudice against Vietnamese cuisine. The friendly staff and delicious food energized my Monday. Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is one of those places that instantly earns five stars. I first discovered them through DoorDash and immediately fell in love—but once I came in person, I realized just how much of a hidden gem this spot really is (and how much more affordable it is dining in).

The menu hits all the Vietnamese classics: a solid lineup of Vietnamese appetizers, cơm tấm (broken rice), bún (vermicelli) bowls, and plenty of traditional Vietnamese drinks to round out the meal. Everything feels comforting, well-portioned, and thoughtfully prepared.

What really stands out—besides the food—is the value. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for today: vermicelli dishes range from $12–$15, and broken rice plates from $12–$17. For the quality and portion size, it’s honestly a steal.

The owner was the one who took my order, and they were genuinely kind and personable, which made the experience even better. That personal touch goes a long way and really reflects the heart behind the restaurant.

If you’re ordering delivery, it’s great—but if you can, come in person. It’s noticeably cheaper and well worth it. Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is comforting, affordable, and run with care—exactly the kind of neighborhood Vietnamese spot you want to keep coming back to.“

“This restaurant is located near the H Mart area in Garden Grove, which is convenient and easy to find.

The space has a Central Vietnam vibe cute, tidy, and very clean. Some of the dishes brought me back to Hội An, especially the more traditional items.

The bánh bèo was Hội A style and the highlight of our meal. The crispy pork skin was delicious, and the fish sauce was well balanced and complemented the dish nicely.

We also tried the bún bò Huế . While it was flavorful, the broth was a bit sweet for my taste, so it didn’t fully hit the mark.

The Cơm Cá Salmon came in a large portion, but the flavor was fairly average and not very memorable.

The service was friendly, and there is plenty of parking right in front, which is very convenient.!“

“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!“

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

“Taste good and portion large“

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

“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.“

“Bueno“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

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

“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 :)“

“A lot of great food options at very affordable prices. Food is made fresh and ready fast, and the quality is consistently good. I’ve been coming here for a few years and it never disappoints. Great friendly service as well. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I’ve found myself coming to this spot many times whenever I’m in OC. It’s one of the few places where you can find a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes beyond just pho, which, honestly, a lot of places still don’t get right.

I’ve tried more than six different dishes here, and every single one has been flavorful, delicious, and truly authentic. It tastes just like home.

Some of my favorites are the Bún Mắm, Bánh Hỏi Heo Quay, Bún Riêu, and Hủ Tiếu Mì Khô—all so good and packed with flavor. I don't recommend Bột Chiên tho!

The service is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Vietnamese food that goes beyond the usual. A hidden gem worth checking out!“

“I stopped here just after an atmospheric river storm on the way to an event recently. I sat down to order but soon realized there would not be enough time to stay and I did not see anything to drink except the usual mixed sweetened tea/coffee/smoothie type cold beverages so I asked if they have anything hot. Although their hot coffee was not on the menu I agreed to try two of them to go. These were EXCELLENT in robust flavor that was not one bit acidic or bitter. They were incredibly thick and delicious like the kind they serve in Athens Greece…not to mention quite hot which was perfect for the storm. I saved the other half for the next day leaving it in the refrigerator when I came home. The next morning although the temperature of coffee changes the flavor is was still incredibly delicious just a smoother sweet taste. I definitely like this coffee both hot and cold. I would highly recommend this to anyone who actually likes the taste of coffee. No need to add anything to it. It was perfect the way they served it.“

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

“Small and clean Viet restaurant. Love this place cause they've variety of Viet street food with cheap prices. The rice paper salad is okay, the fermented shrimp past was kinda salty and I wasn't enjoy it at all. Pha lau was the best.“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“A place I'm not sure I expected to find myself in, but when hunger and mood strike, we found this to be closest. It is a quaint spot, and the woman who served us was welcoming. I was surprised by the composition of the food. It looked delicious and spectacular. I ordered the Salmon with Garlic Noodles, and was impressed with how flavorful it all was. I dare say, a little too flavorful at times. I look forward to coming back.“

“Absolutely delightful.
From the moment I went in, the waiter told us we could sit at a large table when we sat at a small one. I told him we didnt want to take a big table incase they got a bigger party amd he asked if I was sure.
I asked for spring rolls with sausage in it they were delicious. Their pho broth is so flavorful and the amount of noodles they give is plentiful.
I am definitely driving 20 mins to come back here.“

“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.“

“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 😅“

“Still a place to go for all the occasional. Just landed from out of country trip and this is the 1st place to go for comfort food. It was raining so perfect to have some hot pho and VNese coffee and Thai tea and orange juice. The place is packed and we waited for 15mins and got a shared table with another group. Easy order with friendly service but waited abit (understandable since it packed) but within 20mins we got our foods. The prices are still the same but I think the noodle is less than b4, I could be wrong but either way, it hit all the right spots in the body. The vibe was great since the smell is just make you feel right at home and with good comfort foods. They do have several table outside on the sidewalk too.“

“Place was packed during Saturday lunch and the food speaks for itself. Recommend by a friend because they know I love dry hu thieu. The chilli is actually spicy. I packed my bowl with the pickled garlic and burping up garlic breath the rest of the day but worth it!“

“It’s really good and the rolls are my favorites“

“The food is so authentic and savory. I love Mi Quang. I would say that is the best Mi Quang that I’ve ever tried in America. The portion is personally little small for me. They also offer free nuoc mat. But 5 stars for the restaurant and definitely recommend!“

“we had great service and great food.“

“Cách phục vụ Khách hàng, và được sự quan tâm của Cô Manager Ms. An nhiệt tình. Ba người Chúng tôi. Chắc chắn sẽ trở lại thưởng thức. Thank you again.“

“really great milk tea along of choices and Vietnamese food“

“Friendly and clean restaurant.
Ordered Banh Xeo and Cripsy Pork belly Banh Hoi.
If you come here for Banh Xeo, I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s oily(more like deep fried crepe). The pork belly is has good season.
May come again to try different this if I’m in the area.“

“After I dined in here I know why they could maintain their good rating. The soup is really good, I can say authentic Vietnamese taste. Big portion, my husband and I couldn’t really finish the small bowl. The staffs are amazing. They’re very attentive and careful. All of them will welcome and goodbye to you. Such a nice place!!!“

“Delicious food, amazing teas. Can’t wait for the next visit. ✨“
