50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Corona Del Mar

“Parking is very difficult here but we were lucky to find some street parking. We had a reservation but the place was not crowded so we were quickly seated. Took forever for the server to come to take the order. We had the vermicelli bowl with chicken (my favorite) and my colleague ordered the red curry with beef. He was disappointed in the dish finding it lacking in flavor and bite. The beef was fairly chewy too. My dish was the best with tender pieces of chicken, all the veggies we expected and a good portion of vermicelli noodles. Prices are high but it is Corona Del Mar and it was a good place to stop by for lunch. Lots of take away orders going out so it is popular with the locals. But parking is rough.“

“We absolutely love the food, service and atmosphere here, especially when we are not feeling well, a hearty meal here works like wonder, like my Vietnamese colleague years ago said, maybe it’s the authentic good broth, you always feel sooo much better after a bowl of pho at Pho 79 (Pho 101 is Pho 79 and better.)“

“Cole was our server, and we had a couple more people tag along front house was happy to combine a table for the extra guests.

Cole was attentive, and happy to help and give us recommendations. Great service, and delicious food. Well executed dinner experience for a larger group.“

“The place is so good, this is my 3rd time here and im from San Jose lols. Always a great place and a must if you are ever in the area. Even the to-go is good after bringing it home. And that says something lol! I would trade any pho area places in San Jose for this place in a heart beat 😂“

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Linh, our server was super friendly and pleasant. She always smile and attentive to her customers. You always feel happy to have her serve you. She's best at her jobs. She has great personality and superb skills with customers. Phở, rice with Salmon, rice with lemon grass chicken are so good. There portions are huge. Your money are well spent here. As for dessert, you also get free chè đậu xanh(mung bean sweet dessert) I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back again and again. Thank you Linh for your kind service ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person’s turn. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be back, as the pho didn’t quite justify the price for me. That said, their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC.“

“Locally owned and situated on Marine Drive on Balboa Island with friendly staff. Our favorite is the shrimp spring rolls with homemade peanut sauce and for a hearty meal the pho filet mignon. For a nominal price upon request they will steam a plate of filet mignon for your furry friend. My minature goldendoodle Violet loves it!“

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

“KJB Pho & Egg Rolls is a small, unassuming Vietnamese cafe on Newport Boulevard that has quietly become one of our regular lunch spots.

The dinning room is simple, but there’s a warmth to it. The owner and her staff always greet you with a smile, and that same sense of care seems to carry into the food. Ingredients are noticeably fresh, portions are generous, and even familiar dishes feel a little more considered here.

I’ve worked my way through the pho, flat noodles and several of the banh mi. The barbecue pork sandwich is the one I keep coming back to: a substantial French roll, fresh ingredients and consistently good pork.

There’s a steady stream of takeout during lunch and dinner, and depending on the day, sometimes we grab ours to go and sometimes we stay. Either way, this is one of those small neighborhood restaurants where being welcomed genuinely adds something to the experience.

It’s also remarkably easy to get to right off Newport Boulevard, with plenty of parking whenever we’ve been there. If you’re in a rush they are quick to serve you as well. It’s an easy recommendation if you’re looking for Vietnamese food in Costa Mesa or Newport.“

“My wife and I heard from a friend about the pho at Saigon District, and we have been addicted ever since. The richness and burst of flavor from the broth is unmatched! We also highly recommend the Banh Mi entree. We are working our way through the entire menu and will report back. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

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

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“Carefully prepared Vege Beef Steak with Rice and Vietnamese Style Crispy Crepe. Light on oil, and full of bright and savory flavors. Pennywort leaf drinks are pressed to order. Service by the owner offered a personally welcoming experience and was most hospitable offering a taste of their fresh steamed layer cake.“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“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.“

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

“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 selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.“

“This place is great for friends to gather and chat. The service is excellent and the food is quite good. The garlic noodle with shrimp is slightly spicy and quite delicious. Crab toast is also a good choice. recommend to friends and come back again.“

“extremely good Vegan food. i would highly recommend it.“

“Authentic Flavors of Vietnam: A Hidden Gem in Westminster Tucked away in the vibrant streets of Westminster, "Bánh Khọt Lady" offers an authentic culinary retreat, reminiscent of the quaint eateries in the heart of Vietnam. This unassuming spot specializes in Bánh Khọt, mini rice pancakes that are a staple in Vietnamese cuisine, delivering a unique, home-style dining experience that's a rarity even in the diverse California food scene. Walking into the eatery, you're met with the delightful aroma of coconut milk mingled with savory toppings, an olfactory promise of the quality meals prepared here. The place, though small, radiates warmth and authenticity, with its minimalistic décor that puts the spotlight solely on the food. The Bánh Khọt is sublime – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk. Topped with expertly seasoned shrimp, scallions, mung beans, and served with fresh, aromatic Vietnamese herbs and tangy fish sauce, each bite is a harmony of flavors. The menu is simple, focusing on doing justice to this traditional dish by maintaining its authenticity, rather than adapting it to Western tastes. The service at Bánh Khọt Lady is remarkable; you're treated with the kind of genuine warmth and hospitality that's reminiscent of a host welcoming you into their home. The staff is eager to share their love for the cuisine, enriching your dining experience with stories behind the food you're savoring.“

“Delicious food , great service, highly recommended. If you want a good food , No MSG , go to Pho B. They’re start a vegan menu soon .“

“Service was top notch -extremely nice and informative on menu. Food was ridiculous good I recommend the grapefruit salad with chicken“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“Hands down the best pho spot around. I’ve been here four times now and it never disappoints. Since I have a pretty big appetite, I always go for the classic combination bowl with all the meats, plus I add a bone and two poached eggs—it’s unbelievable. For appetizers, you can’t go wrong with the spring rolls or egg rolls, but the absolute hidden gem here is the fried chicken. A lot of people skip it, but it’s super crispy on the outside and crazy juicy on the inside.
The prices are super affordable, making it perfect for eating with friends or big group dinners. The servers' English isn’t the best, but honestly I don’t mind at all—that’s just how you know it’s legit and authentic. The inside is decent, though heads up: the restroom is way in the back, so it might be tricky to find if it's your first time. I come here all the time, constantly recommend it to my friends, and it’s always my go-to spot when family comes to visit. Highly recommend!“

“I have been eating here since 2002 while still in high school. First time ever eating Pho here. These 3 Viet guys from my classes introduced me to Pho at this place. Been going here whenever I’m craving Pho or Viet food in the Irvine area. The most flavorful Pho broth out of any Viet restaurant I’ve ever ate in California.“

“món phỡ ngon tuyet đĩnh o cali“

“They have the best Canh Chu Ca! Really really. My family has been going for years. We crave it. When we tried to go on a Tuesday and they were closed we went elsewhere but it just wasn't as good. Mirada cooks the fish so that it is still so succulent. The flavor of the broth is perfectly balanced and tart. Please give this place a try for healthy Vietnamese food.“

“This is my favorite raw vegan restaurant! They also have a large menu of cooked vegan (or maybe that should be the other way around). I haven't tried their cooked food, but it looks absolutely delicious! I have not been to LA or the area in many years, and I am missing Au Lac!“

“Excellent quality food. The filet mignon was perfect. Not fancy but very nice.“

“How i missed this place. They used to be on 17/Fairview and i just found their new location. Their pho is the best. I recommend their Butter garlic rice, Vermicelli dishes, and the shrimp rolls. The pork chops were super moist and delicious.“

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmm delicious come try“

“This place is really amazing! Great food and hours for us "Night Owls" who eat late..... The pork and shrimp bowls are very filling and tasty and the Garlic Noodles and Crawfish Pasta are great! The marinated grilled pork Ban Mi sandwich is also a favorite. Interesting assortment of cold tea drinks as well. Oops, almost forgot the addictive, crispy egg rolls and Bai buns - a MUST try! Super friendly staff and fast service!“

“My Favorite Dish: Ca Nuong Da Don (Crispy Grilled Fish) The Best in Orange County.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Huntington Beach, Pho Bulous is an absolute must-visit! 🌟 This cozy spot serves up some of the most flavorful and authentic dishes I’ve ever had. Their pho is perfection—rich, aromatic broth with fresh herbs and tender meats. The spring rolls and banh mi are also incredible, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The best part? It’s super affordable, so you can enjoy amazing food without breaking the bank. Plus, the service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and welcoming. Whether you’re a pho enthusiast or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, Pho Bulous is the place to go. Don’t miss out on this gem! 🥢🍜 Highly recommended for a delicious, budget-friendly dining experience! 🌿✨“

“Ordering is a little confusing. There is a monitor that allows you the option of dine in or carryout. But then you need to go to front to pay before they make the order.

Food was ok. Yellow rice was a little dry, and the chicken thigh was tough and dry. Egg rolls were very good. People were very nice. Probably should have gotten the pho.“

“We love the Chicken Pho. The flavor is wonderful. It’s delicious and filling. The prices are good and the people who work there are friendly 💕“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“The place is located in a corner of a strip mall. There was only one table to sit and it was full. I think this is just order and go type of deal. The sticky rice was delicious and flavorful with the toppings. Mixture of sweet from sausage and savory. Lychee was a perfect combo to wash all of that down.“

“Came here on a Tuesday around 6pm. Customer service was excellent, the host was very attentive to each of the guests. After ordering, I probably waited max 5 minutes for my order. I got a size small which was more than enough for me. I saw on other reviews, they give generous portions and it was true for me. What I really liked was that my noodles came already separated within the broth so that I didn't have to break it up. I prefer it that way because when they come more compact, it tends to give off a flavor in the broth and makes the overall soup not as hot. I appreciate the attention to detail they had and even separated the cilantro for those who may not prefer it.

The restaurant had plenty of tables along the walls and in the center to accommodate for parties larger than 8 with plenty of booster seats.

Overall, the restaurant was very clean and relaxing. It satisfied my pho cravings especially since I don't have the time to drive or want to wait long lines. I'll be coming back to bring my family soon!“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“small Vietnamese restaurant with a very sweet owner. we came for lunch with a medium size party but she was so nice and quick to help. not too big of a crowd when we got there.

while we all wanted to try the pho, we all got a rice or a vermicelli dish which were each phenomenal. meat was very well-seasoned and lots of veggies in the bun dac biet. while it was too hot this time, next time we will definitely come for the pho.“

“Great services and delicious food!“

“We came here on a Sunday evening for dinner. Food came out quickly. Service was excellent! A very friendly server gave us great recommendations and was patient with our questions since it was our first time here.

We enjoyed the broken rice combo with BBQ meats and sides. I especially like the pork chop, the pickled pork, sausage, and crispy fish cake. It was a very hearty meal with big portions at a reasonable price. I also loved that it came with a comforting side of vegetable soup broth.

I highly recommend a visit!! I will be back!“
