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!“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Pho 21. This is a great spot if you’re craving authentic Vietnamese pho and comforting, flavorful noodle dishes in a casual and relaxed setting.

The restaurant is clean, simple, and comfortable, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both quick meals and sit-down dining. The service area is well-organized, and even when it’s busy, the flow of customers feels smooth and efficient.

The pho was excellent. The broth was rich, aromatic, and well-balanced, clearly simmered with care. The noodles were soft yet perfectly textured, and the meat was fresh and tender. I also appreciated the generous portion of herbs, bean sprouts, and lime, which added freshness and depth to the flavor.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to serve. Orders were prepared efficiently, and everything came out hot and fresh. Their service helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, Pho 21 is a solid choice for anyone looking for delicious and comforting Vietnamese food. Great flavors, good portions, and consistent quality make it a place I would definitely come back to.“

“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.“

“I had a good overall experience at SUP Noodle Bar. The place was clean, and the service was solid—staff were attentive and made the visit enjoyable.

The short rib pho was tasty and definitely a highlight, though it didn’t feel quite as authentic compared to some other Vietnamese restaurants. Still, it’s flavorful and satisfying in its own way.

One nice touch was being able to get additional noodles for free, which adds great value to the meal.

Overall, a clean, well-run spot with good food and service—worth a visit.“

“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. 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“Taste good and portion large“

“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.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“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.!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Incredible chicken fried rice. Everything was fresh, and included big pieces of egg, chicken, and vegetables - carrot, cabbage, onion and broccoli. One of the best CFRs I’ve ever had.

Also great service! Very friendly and hospitable. I’ll be back!“

“1. The egg rolls were delicious, and I can definitely taste the lemongrass in the beef version! I also like how the chicken wings are not drenched in sauce!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! Interior is small!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready after 15 mins!
Note: They do accept card transactions!

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

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

“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.“

“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.“
