50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Compton

“In town for a conference and stopped in for some pho. Absolutely delicious and a friendly staff. Highly recommend.“

“I got vermicelli with grilled pork which was tasty. My friend got Pho beef combo. I also got iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. You know it’s authentic when your coffee comes with a tiny spoon in the glass cup. Reasonable price and nice service.“

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

“The best bánh mì and coffee in the world. I recommend it!👏💥❤️“

“My brother and I went to Pho Hoan Pasteur with high expectations as they had high ratings on Yelp.
He ordered the regular sized steak and tendon pho. He found one piece of tendon in the entire bowl, so he was disappointed. The taste of the pho broth was just OK... not the best, nor the worst he's ever had.
I had the grilled shrimp bun and it came with two egg rolls. I was disappointed as rice noodles were all broken. It felt as though the bowl was filled with the rice noodle scraps at the bottom of the bag. The fish sauce wasn't remarkable either. I added lime juice and samba.
We tried it. We probably won't return.“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“My bf and I stopped by after a long flight and seeing good reviews. The spring rolls were so good to me. The pho broth was so soothing and delicious. My bf got the broken rice with sliced pork and he said it was good. The ube coffee looked too yummy to drink, and it was also yummy!“

“Love this place customer service is great,food is great and not that pricey!I truly would recommend :)“

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“Love the shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. My daughter loves the pho and my husband likes his grilled pork and rice. We were able to dine in at 11pm. Glad we were able to make it, esp after arriving from a transatlantic flight. Thank you for the good food.

Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair and kiddie utensils that came with a scissor.“

“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 😎“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Good food good helpings recommend the orange chicken nice and tasty you get plenty of white rice also careful when you order by size when you order large you get a bit much but not complaining at all. Give this place a try it's not roomy so best to take it to go or have it delivered for a more comfortable eat.“

“Very clean, nice environment.
They have changed ownership and go by Vietnamese restaurant express now.
Bartender gave out free ice chia lattes when i was there which was really nice.
It was also slow so don’t count on the same perks when you visit.
Definitely would try again“

“What a hidden gem. It doesnt look like much as its a small mom and pop type place in a strip mall. Theres a parking lot right in front. The inside is clean and is nostalgic of any vietnamese restaurant.

The service was alright. There was only one guy working the register, waiting tables, and being out the food and it was pretty busy. We grabbed our own menus from the center console table and he shortly came after to take orders.

The food was really good. We both got pho and the broth was more savory than sweet and the protein portions were more than plentiful. A nice change! You know its authentic when they have chili oil out. Spring rolls were hot and homemade. Too bad they only gave 2 lettuce pieces for 5 rolls. Nonetheless, they were still delicious without.

Definitely recommended!“

“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!“

“I always get the grilled beef cause no one has "GRILLED" beef pho that I've seen. it is really good. Only thing different this time is the meat was a tougher than it has been before. Hopefully, it is only this time cause it is usually tender.“

“Pho is flavorful. A legitimate pho place and a place to return to when in the area.
Portion to menu pricing is reasonable. Here, an order of small Special Pho is $12.00 compared to Monterey Park or Alhambra area at $15.
Service and atmosphere is atypical of a small business pho restaurant. Not a lot of frills. Just a reasonably clean place for dining. Overall a good meal and service.“

“As a solo diner I visited this branch of the family owned business and sat at the counter top seating area since all the tables were taken. Popular place guys! I ordered “large rib eye pho” bowl was very very generous and took a persistent slog at finishing the bold portion! Shame the beef was well done and firming up rather than rare as it stated on the menu. Broth was well seasoned and complex and rather tasty. Ingredients like the Thai basil and bean sprouts were fresh and crispy. My iced Vietnamese coffee was strong but welcomed! Staff were working well under pressure will definitely come back and try other things dishes. I’m happy I came across this restaurant.“

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“

“Love love love, It was my first time going and I ordered the Brisket Pho, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Sesame Balls, And Vietnamese Iced Coffee (My favorite 10 out of 10 alone) was amazing. It was a 10 out of 10 for me can't wait to try their other options. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤“

“We brought twins there to Have lunch. They were very accommodating and provided high chairs, children bowls, utensils and covered water cups with straws“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“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.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“Out of all the businesses that exist in this small plaza in Cerritos, Soup Shop has to be one of the best. Walking up to the front of the restaurant, I felt a little uncomfortable because there were so many people waiting for a table outside. I put name down for two and was told it would be a 25 minute wait but didn’t even end up waiting the whole 25, they had the table ready pretty quick.

After sitting down, we both ordered our pho and the food was out in less than ten minutes. I had the combination and my friend ordered the oxtail with a bone on the side. They were both amazing. Considering the price you pay, which most of the pho bowls here are over 15$, the portion makes it absolutely worth it. On top of that, you get unlimited noodle refills to eat with your soup. I have never had this before at any pho restaurant but it was a welcome change haha.

Our server was also very accommodating. He brought me a glass of hot water because I didn’t want ice water and he also checked on us repeatedly to make sure we were doing okay.“

“The place was very decent, well organized and decorated. The atmosphere is pretty quiet and perfect for talking or hang out. Pricing was a bit too much for my taste but the food makes it up for it. Food was great, the wait wasn't long around 3-5 minutes. It's got a good station for toppings, especially good for the Pho I ordered. My sister and mom definitely agreed it was a great experience. I would come back if I have the time again! Plus there's good restrooms, a tray return to put back after you're done, and good sitting areas. If you're a fan of a quiet, warm, and well cleaned place, this place is for you! The staff were wonderful, they gave us advice for our order and explained well. I definitely recommend!“

“One of the cashier's ripped offa borderline homeless person.“

“This is probably my 3rd or 4th time here. The service is great: friendly and fast. The food is good. Haven't had a problem with parking and on this last visit the portion was MUCH BETTER than I remembered. I got a lot more meat and noodles!“

“I was in Long Beach and decided I wanted some Pho. A few places were closed today but New Pho was open. They have their own parking lot so that’s a plus. It’s an older building but I’m not there to check out the decor. Seat yourself and they’ll bring you a menu. I ordered a large Pho Tai. Food was good and hot. Friendly server/waiter.“

“Absolutely the smallest place you can imagine. 90% kitchen for the owner (?) to work in. A tiny bench, no ventilation inside. No indoor/outdoor dining...

But this place is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!!!
Great sushi!!!
Excellent price, due to little overhead costs!!!
Get your food and enjoy it wherever you want, probably not inside though.
The slices of salmon are excellent!!! Fat and thick!!!
Eel is excellent!!!

It is recommended you order ahead, he is a solo team and is hard at work in the kitchen!!!

The only thing I wished for is some kind of chicken bowl. He already has the rice, he just needs to toss some chicken into a pan...but I understand he specializes in sushi and doesn't want added complexity to his operation.

I highly recommend this place!!!“

“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“

“đã có tại VN từ năm 1960 tại số 494 minh mạng (ngã sáu chợ lớn) phở truyền thống gia đinh“

“Food was amazing. One of the best vietnamese restaurants that I love to visit. Highly recommended.“

“I just had the best experience eating here. I was recommend this place because I love Pho and my fiance loves ramen. This place delivered exceedingly delicious plates for the both of us! We loved both so much and we know that this is out new spot. The most memorable experience was the kindness of the staff. I felt welcomed like I was being treated at a family members home and I was constantly attended to despite the restaurant being busy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and this is my new favorite spot!“

“Honestly? Everything. One of my fav is the cornish hen. They have a special sauce for that.“

“We have been coming to Blooming for about 8 years. We drive 65 miles one way just to eat their delicious food. Nothing, nowhere compares to them! We absolutely LOVE it here!“

“I always enjoy having an extra large no 1 which is a large bowl but with extra everything by a half portion more of extra and there egg rolls are good not too dry or oily and the spam rolls are good enough not to have soy sauce with them and there not dry but just right there pho is traditional and extremely good enough not needed to add anything extra sauce to it if you do only add a little bit but I come here every once every week so and the parking in good just only one handicapped spot but all the spaces or most of them are near the door. You will enjoy having pho here as much as I do and they can modify each dish to how you like it as well.“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! We've ordered a couple times from Postmates and we have never been disappointed. I love the spicy lemongrass chicken and my husband loves the pork belly and the shaken beef. The shrimp and pork egg rolls are unlike any egg roll over ever had and so delicious. And don't get me started on the sparkling limeade. This place is such a gem. We'll be ordering from them forver.

Dietary restrictions: We have a peanut allergy and they are always careful to not include any nuts“

“Great food! You do have to wait a bit, but that means the food is made fresh. I tried Student Noodle, Phnom Penh Noodle, and Crispy Pork Belly. Crispy Pork Belly was the best.

It's a long drive from LA, but it's worth it to try Cambodian food bc it's distinct from Thai/Vietnamese food. I'd go back to try fried fish and Khmer favorites.

It's a diner style atmosphere with Cambodian decorations.“

“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 .“

“It was our visit to this restaurant and it was a great experience. The service was friendly and attentive. It was also my first time trying vegan food. I must say that it was surprisingly delicious! I would definitely come back!“

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“Food is good and prices are reasonable. Service can be slow. Took 10 minutes before they came by our table to get our order. Took another 20 minutes to get the check after I asked for it. And they play instrumental lullaby music that puts you to sleep while eating. That was really odd choice.“

“Love all their Cuisine...
Delicious Baggetts... they have a special too! Go before they remove it! (* it's a buy 2 get 1 free Baggetts)

Their Spring Rolls are so refreshing I pair it along with a refreshing Boba (they also gave a BOGO bobas), for these hot summer months, and the Pho very delicious!“

“Vietnamese Coffee style and boba tea 🧋🍂☕️“

“Great pho place with nice bamboo decor. I felt so relaxed sitting in this restaurant. The pho and vermicelli salad are great and worth trying. Their rice plates have rice that is better than most Asian restaurants I’ve been too. It’s very tender! The ice shaved dessert was a bit too sweet for me but the free tapioca dessert was just perfect.“

“I like their chicken banh mi. Whatever that green sauce they have it tastes good. Their bottled water is expensive. I know they want to make extra money but it is too much. $1 per bottle and they would probably sell more. FYI, I know how much a case costs at Costco. ^_^“
