50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Buena Park

“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.“

“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!“

“Service and food have always been good. The prices are great also. There’s so many options to choose from. The staff here are wonderful also as it is one of the reason I continue to support our local business.

On this order, I ordered the Special Appetizer (wife’s favorite) and the Buy 2 get 1 free Sandwiches with extra pate. Even though the sandwiches are good the way they are the extra pate added makes it even better.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Pho 21. Michelle was kind, friendly, and very welcoming. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service throughout our visit. We truly appreciated how they treated us like family, which made our meal even more enjoyable. Thank you to Michelle and the entire team for their warm hospitality. We look forward to coming back!“

“10/10 food, it's very good and the service was very nice if I had unlimited money I would eat here every day, the lady working there is very nice and sweet and hardworking. The food is very good I ordered the rare steak pho and I added some chili sauce to it and oyster sauce it added very good flavor. 10/10 food I would definitely eat here again and bring my family and friends.“

“Stacked pho bowl with unlimited extra noodles. Honestly probably the best pho I’ve been to. Broth is super rich, noodles are cooked to perfection and they have all the toppings and add ons that you want. Extra noodles come al dente and with some extra broth. Staff is attentive and will happily service your extra noodles.“

“Pho here is great with good beef selection. Little more pricy vit you'll get good cut of beef. Specially rare. Only down side is when order to g, they are skimpy on the meet side even though I ordered size large . And it did comes with any dip sauce.“

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

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“This may be my new favorite pho in Huntington Beach. The broth is incredible and has a nice rich flavor. I ate half my bowl before taking a picture, but I got the 2 meet pho with double steak and it was a really nice portion. The house made chile sauce had a really nice flavor as well. I’m a bit of a wimp with spice so I only added a couple dashed into my bowl and it still has a kick but such good flavor. Definitely try this place out“

“The food is amazing, portions are large, and prices are very fair. The $16.95 short rib pho comes with two huge short rib bones and unlimited noodles! Such a good deal. My favorite was honestly the lomo saltado, the fries were so crisp and the filet was so tender with a delicious, smoky wok fire flavor. The spring crunch slaw is a steal at $6.95, it’s a ton of slaw for such a cheap price and the peanut butter/chili oil dressing is bomb. It was pretty busy when I went, but they brought out the food amazingly fast for how big of a group was seated ahead of me. Definitely recommend this spot.“

“My sisters and I came to this restaurant, and they were playing the news. We didn't feel like being bummed by the news, so we asked if the restaurant minded if they could change the channel. The staff gave us the remote and let us change the channel ourselves! I really really appreciated that. We have come back many times since! Out of all the bánh cuốn places we've had in OC, theirs is closest to authentic Hanoi bánh cuốn. It's not perfect but it's close! Thank you again!“

“Pho 101 is literally my go-to in the area for pho. I used to hit up Pho 79 frequently - which is in the same family as Pho 101. Pho 101 is cleaner, their parking lot has fewer potholes (compared to 79) and accepts cash and card.

The broth is what makes a pho dish - and the broth here is rich and flavorful. I believe it's made by steeping oxtails overnight - and the oxtails is a side dish you can order with your pho.

You choose either a Medium or Large bowl of pho - and can customize your bowl by choosing up to 4 choices of protein. I always get the Pho Tai Nam Gau and Gan (Rare, Flank, Fatty Cut, Tendon) - and occasionally a side of oxtail. A side of fresh vinegar onions, and a cup of hot tea completes my order.

Food is great and is always consistent. Everyone I've brought to eat here rave about the food.

Service is prompt and friendly. I go here so often, most of the staff remember my order and seating preferences.

Noise level is appropriate - there is ample light, plenty of seating, food is ordered efficiently through tablets - and served minutes later.

Note: There is only one way to get in and out of this parking lot. Heading Westbound on Edinger towards Bella Terra - it's the first right as soon as you drive down from the overpass between Beach and Newland. If you miss the driveway, you can only U-turn at Edinger/Parkside Lane (where the Springhill Suites is).“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“First time visiting this restaurant for my friend’s birthday party and I was honestly very impressed! The owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we walked in.

The food was amazing — every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and perfect for sharing with family and friends. Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and such a fun place to relax, eat, and enjoy drinks together.

One thing I really loved was the karaoke entertainment. It made the whole night even more special and lively. And the owner’s son sings incredibly well — such a talented voice!

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious Vietnamese food, warm hospitality, and a fun atmosphere for birthdays or gatherings. Definitely will come back again!“

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

“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊“

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

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

“Moc Kitchen never disappoints! The pho is flavorful, the fried rice is delicious, and the egg rolls are always crispy and fresh. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. Everything feels clean, welcoming, and well taken care of. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Santa Ana and a place I always recommend to friends and family.“

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

“Best pho I ever tasted. I always get all the meat, tendon, and tripe and the portions were generous. The gau (fatty brisket) was especially amazing. Broth is great, service fast, just overall incredible. I came twice with my kids during our 3-day vacation. Next to In-n-Out, it's our only must-do when in SoCal. Never mind if there is a line or parking limited- it moves fast and is worth any wait.“

“Delicious, fresh food with a smile! Bread is fresh, noodle dishes are so filling, and the pizza was decadent with cheese and a great crust. Korean corn dog ear perfectly fried with a little sweetness. Only 7 counter seats so we did take out. Will definitely return when I'm the neighborhood!“

“we had great service and great food.“

“Food
I ordered the three roll special. I had the shrimp, pork sausage, and bulgogi beef. The shrimp roll was as expected, light, fresh, and tasty. The sausage was the best. It had the best flavor and really stood out. The beef was dry, okay flavor-wise, but oh so dry. Each roll had lettuce, shredded carrot, cilantro, cucumbers, mint, and garlic chives. These added crunch, texture, and a freshness that really was nice.

Service
Great, fast and efficient service. My order was correct in every detail.

Atmosphere
It is a mall. So mall vibes.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I arrived early in the day and was told that only the #1 and #9 were available. I’m not sure if the other items sell out before opening or if they simply rotate what’s being made, but it was a bit disappointing since I drove over an hour hoping to try more of the menu. That said, the #1 and #9 were absolutely delicious—full of flavor and well worth the trip. I just wish I had the chance to sample the rest of what they offer. UPDATE - 04/19/26 I went very early this morning and they said they only had #1 #8 & #9 available but have the whole menu outside. I asked politely do you ever not run out because im here early and you don't have your other egg rolls available again. She said we can Make them but its a 20min wait and a 20 count minimum order of them.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Came for dinner. It's a very big and spacious restaurant. Service was as expected at a casual dining establishment. If you need anything, just wave them down and they will come. Ordered the stone pho with short ribs and sizzling steak & eggs (Bo Ne). The food came out very quickly. The bo ne came with a side salad with light vinaigrette. I liked the salad. The bo ne was overly seasoned but tasty. Definitely need to eat with the baguette that came with it. Be careful, the pate on the plate is very strong too. I'm used to a lighter taste of pate so did not eat it but overall it was very good. The stone pho was very good. Short ribs were very tender and they gave me 2 large ribs for my order! Awesome! Just be careful the stone bowl is very hot and it lasts for a long time. Even after our meal was over the stone was still warm to the touch. I like my pho hot so this was perfect.“

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

“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 👍🏻“

“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!“

“Taste good and portion large“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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 had the shacking beef and pork shrimp roll.
The food was great, the beef was super tender and perfectly seasoned it was placed over fried rice that was probably the best I've had in a while.
The rolls were really good also.“
