50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Buena Park

“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 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!“

“I definitely recommend if you're craving banh mi! They offer buy 2 sandwiches and get 1 free. I love how the sandwiches are prepared fresh, made to order and always taste delicious. I also love their sesameball dessert, springrolls and to-go porkchop plate. Such great customer service, friendly staff members and delicious food!😋“

“I sincerely appreciate the kind and attentive service that always makes our dining experience feel special.
Thanks to your warm smile and thoughtful care, every visit becomes a pleasant and enjoyable time.

The food is excellent, but your genuine hospitality is the main reason we keep coming back.
I wish you good health and hope you continue creating wonderful memories for many guests.

With heartfelt thanks.“

“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.“

“Delectable beef carpaccio mainly because of how well the crunchy fried garlic pairs with the juicy, thinly-sliced beef. Also one of my go-to spots when I’m craving lomo saltado; it’s not too saucy like how some restaurants make it but the flavor is all there and perfectly balanced. I ordered extra meat, but honestly barely touched it; it was filling enough by itself.“

“Visiting here with my family, I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the food. The Big Wagyu Rib Pho is prepared authentically, with a delicate flavor that is just right. My mother praised the cleanliness and tidiness of the place, and we will definitely return.“

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

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“I really enjoyed my meal here. I ordered a vegetarian pho and eggrolls. The broth is not vegetarian, but I actually prefer it that way. It was super flavorful.

The service was so nice and the prices were affordable. I will definitely be back.“

“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 .“

“The food is so fresh and delicious. Customer service and ambiance is minimal but that's because they're working hard to make good food. I'm a freak for the spring rolls. Good sauce selection. Yummy drinks. I can't stop coming back.“

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

“Everything was fresh and delicious! The broth was clean and didn't need any Sriracha or hoisin sauces to make it good. The combo fried rice was excellent, with all the meats fresh, crispy, and not greasy at all!! The Lao beef was cooked to perfection as ordered medium, and the dipping sauces were authentic and fresh. This is a must goto spot. Also open late which is a plus for me! The staff was very attentive and professional. Truly a gem.“

“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.“

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

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

“This is a great place to go for amazing Pho. I have visited over 10 places with Vietnamese food. This place is definitely one of the best. Very nice casual dining place in a shopping center right across from Stater Bros on the corner of Edinger and DiFairview. Love the Chicken Bowl with noodles and a crispy egg roll in the bowl. The vegetables and broth blend so well. The prices are very good. They even offer a Senior Discount. Try this place you will be pleased.“

“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“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I stopped here on my way for some vegetarian food since it was lunar new year and I am glad I found this place. The vegetarian sandwich and spring rolls were very flavorful. The spring rolls were nice and hefty that had some crisp when you bit in to it and a delicious peanut dipping sauce.“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

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

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

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

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

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

“Taste good and portion large“

“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.“

“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.!“

“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.“

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

“Walked in and the lady immediately greeted us and gave a smile. Helped us in her broken English and was so funny and nice to talk to.

Helped us with our order, and wow was it amazing food. Got the Ribeye Pho reminded me of Southeast Asia when I visited. Service and food are amazing and nothing but old fashioned love and joy put into every order. Appreciate the service and memory.“

“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.“

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

“Bueno“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“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!“

“Was craving for com tam so stopped by here since it was close to where I was. Plenty of parking and clean too. Very nice simple decor, clean, spacious, airy and well kept inside. Plenty of TVs hung around with different channel of cooking or food traveling shown. You ordered on the tablet that they provided along with a menu in case you can do on the tablet. Easy order and quick turn around…the foods look delicious and tasty plus it comes with free veggie soup - a really small soup that you wonder why bother. All are good and tasty plus good portion. I was impressed or really hungry that I cleaned up the plate, except the soup (it was so so). Coffee was good, too much iced. Overall not bad at all.“
