50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Buena Park

“Man, after a long, exhausting day at Knott's Berry Farm, Pho QT was a lifesaver. It was exactly the comfort food we were craving. The people there were so awesome—super friendly and accommodating from the minute we walked in. They were even able to make a smaller bowl of pho just for my son, which was perfect.
We got the Pho Dac Biet and the Pho Suon Bo, and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender. Was it the best pho I ever had? No, but my family enjoyed it.“

“We ordered the spring rolls and pho with beef and meatballs and both were excellent. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We ordered to-go and all components were packed separately including peanuts to add to the dipping sauce. We received excellent service when calling ahead to order and at the location.“

“Been coming for years and all I can say is SO. GOOD. The price. The flavors. The BOGOs. It’s got me on the hook for life. They even have headcheese here, which has been disappearing from other locations menus. It can feel small and chaotic in the restaurant when it’s busy. Overall a good spot.“

“I’ve been coming here on and off for over 10 years after Disney on my way home. This place has always been consistent. It’s open late, portions are great, service is top tier. I’m surprised I haven’t left a review before to be honest so this one is long over due. Pho 21 is a must after Disney and the pho is really really good“

“The Vietnamese Jjamppong and the house fried rice here are our absolute favorites!
Especially after a night of drinks, the spicy Vietnamese Jjamppong is so refreshing and clears everything up.
Adding a bit of Sriracha on the house fried rice makes every bite pure happiness.
The owner is also very kind, which makes every visit even more enjoyable.“

“Always good service.
The food over all is really good. Of course the people is good. The wagu appetizer is amazing. Truffle fries are on spot. Fried rice is good. My favorite is the combo pho with extra order of noodles for free.

The wait is always long. Highly recommend that you join the waitlist via Yelp.“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“Omeli Kitchen is my happy place! Every time I go, it's a flavor explosion. The lomo salteado is a guaranteed winner—it's never let me down. And the shaken beef? Seriously, it's so good it should be illegal. This cozy spot might only have 10 tables, but they get the food to you lightning fast. It's a must-have on our regular rotation.“

“Extremely GENEROUS portions of HIGH QUALITY meat, for both sizes.

There are two sizes: medium and large. The large is equivalent to an extra large you might find at other Pho places. You get to customize your bowl by selecting four cuts of meat out of 10 options. The pho comes with your standard toppings, and you can additionally get extra orders of noodles/sides/toppings.

Having been to the other famous Pho places in OC, Pho 101 honestly has the most accessible dining experience for a comparably delicious broth. The space is large and the service is fast, meaning less to no wait in line. And you have the option to pay by cash or card (pay at the front).“

“Banh Cuon Tay Ho 2 has been my family's go to place ever since I was a little kid. My parents will take me here when I crave banh xeo and banh cuon. I know they have other food on their menu but their banh xeo and banh cuon are delicious. Their banh xeo is nice and crispy. Their veggie platter they bring out with it are fresh and the banh cuon dat biet is delicious as well. Their restaurant has a nice ambience and their staff was friendly.“

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

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

“SPRING ROLLS & Made to Order Bowls.

Roll & Co, business --

Not to be confused with the previous business/ restaurant that was here right BEFORE Roll & Co >>>

which was A ROLLING ICE CREAM store,,
Where they made the ice cream on a cold marble stone.
(Similar like Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream.)“

“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.“

“Taste good and portion large“

“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!“

“What can you ask for more than a legit Pho with very amazing spicy paste? This place probably is the best Pho around town. Their Shaken Beef with fried rice paper is amazing. Would love to see them brining back the Pan Fried Egg noodles with seafood. Please keep up the good work.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, great service. 5 stars.“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“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.“

“mMMmmmMM! Oh baby the cheese! The cheese sticks are absolutely fantastic! The small Pepperoni Lovers pizza is absolutely TIGHT and will definitely get again! A lil heavy on the sauce for myself but the crust is perfect 😛 the ranch is thick and not cheap. 10/10 I'll be back 😎“

“After visiting the OC/LA area, we're on the way back to the Bay Area, we wanted to have some lunch before we go. Some of the restaurant closed on Monday, one our friends recommended this place for real excellent egg noodles soups, so we stopped by, it's right next to PLT the big VN shopping center.
There's no parking for this restaurant, the whole block has a few parking spots and there's parking on the PLT but always full. We had to park outside on a different shopping center.
The restaurant is small and simple, clean. The owner or the care taker seems to be extremely friendly and attentive sitting us on a table.
The menu has quite a few dishes, but we're concentrating on egg noodle soup for lunch so we ordered the special bowl of rice noodles instead of egg noodles. It's quite good, quite tasty with chinese crispy donuts.
We had a great lunch and the price is extremely inexpensive. Ready to drive home.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Khoi is such a gem! The Vietnamese hotpot here is absolutely delicious, and the Tom Yum soup base is hands-down my favorite — the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and comforting.
I also love that they offer Yakiniku-style cooking options with short ribs, shrimp, and pork — it’s fun, interactive, and everything tastes so fresh. On top of that, the variety of sauces is fantastic, giving you endless ways to customize every bite.

The service is always outstanding — attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Khoi makes dining feel like an experience, not just a meal.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving bold flavors, variety, and a place that truly takes care of its guests!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I think I found my new favorite Com Tam place. Good service, delicious Com Tam, the Tau Hu Ky was crunchy as it should be, clean seats and tables (and plenty of seating), clean restrooms, fresh modern interior design, spacious parking, selectable options with your Com Tam and very affordable, and open late! They have hot tea as well which is a must have for me. The bonus for me was the 3 types of chilis on each table. Outstanding!“

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

“This is our go to Pho place, my 10 year old son asks for it weekly. This is a family owned business, we come around 1pm and service is great, food is delicious!! Highly recommend!! We haven’t found another a pho spot like this one ?? we usually get the beef pho, chicken pho and add vegetables. I love the beef pho with zucchini noodles ?!“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“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.“

“Awesome authentic Vietnamese dishes and excellent customer. Everyone had a wonderful attitude and had great recommendations for the meal. Definitely going back soon.“

“Great Vietnamise food. Food it really delicious and the owner is very nice.“

“Since I returned from a trip to central Vietnam 4 years ago I’ve been chasing down a bowl of authentic cao lau. Living in San Francisco and Portland I can hardly get my hands on cao lau, so little Saigon has been a destination for me. This was my first and only required stop when I finally visited the area and it did not disappoint! The Cao Lao noodles were perfectly square and chewy, the broth herby and flavorful. The pea greens were also delicious. The lovely man who works and runs this with his wife was so friendly. I’ll be back!“

“If you are looking for duck and noodle soup this is a good place for you. The noodle soup is tasty and relatively light, served with duck salad which is poached duck on top of a light tangy salad. You can choose the carbs in the soup: rice noodles, clear vermicelli, or rice.
I liked it a lot but given the limited menu make sure you go with people who like duck or chicken... this is a pretty limited menu. Service was great, fast, friendly.

parking is tough. welcome to Bolsa.“

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

“Bueno“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“Absolutely DEEElicious!! Wonderful service! Great tasting food! Fresh and fast. Many options, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan. You can tell the owner really cares about his place, his product, and his customers. Great pricing too! Totally recommend to EVERYONE. Will be back, and often!! 💕“

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

“It is a family owned restaurant serving yummy Vietnamese dishes that are vegan. We love this place. We tried almost everything and each is delicious. The service is a friendly mom and pop restaurant service. They are really accommodating what you need.“

“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.“
