50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Costa Mesa

“A very good and authentic Vietnamese food, the crispy shrimp pancake (banh Xeo) is a must try dish, the housemade chili oil is fragrance, bun thit nuong cha gio is a hit. Good service and Jenny the owner of the restaurant is very friendly and give good recommendation. We’ll definitely be back again with friends.“

“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 👍 👍“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Service is outstanding! The place is clean including the bathroom. Food is awesome🥰“

“Great food! Warm and very friendly greeting at the front. Best dining service provided by the staff.“

“PhoHolic at South Coast Plaza is one of the best places to enjoy authentic Vietnamese pho. The broth is rich, aromatic, and full of deep beef flavor, making every bowl incredibly satisfying. The oxtail bone pho is outstanding—the meat is tender, flavorful, and falls right off the bone. They also offer a great variety of pho options, so there's something for everyone.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and the service is impressively fast, even during busy hours. If you're shopping at South Coast Plaza and craving a delicious, authentic bowl of pho, PhoHolic is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!“

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

“Great food. Very nice people“

“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.“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“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“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“PSA: This location is now CLOSED. They have moved to a location on Magnolia and Westminster. (Grand garden near ABC) The new location was not open today either. There wasn't a sign saying when they plan to open.

UPDATE: New location now open.“

“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!“

“I usually don’t write reviews . I like more reading them before making decision of where I eat . I’m a huge pho fan and set myself a goal to visit every pho spot in California . I go a lot between the bay to LA . And I can safely surely say that so far ( after about 60-70 pho places) this is the best I’ve tried . Brisket not chewy . Steak sliced super thin , tendon not chewy. Portion is HUGE . Finally a place that gives an option for chicken in the spring rolls . It’s honestly the best pho place for me so far . Will come back“

“I recently stopped in and had the chicken curry, and it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were incredible, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

What made the experience even better was the excellent service. The young man working the front was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. He made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in and consistently checked to make sure I was happy and had everything I needed. It’s rare to find service that genuine these days.

Between the delicious food and the outstanding hospitality, I had a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and friendly service.“

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

“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.“

“1. The broth of each noodle soup dishes were rich and delicious! I love the variety of protein in the pho house special!
2. The spot had fun casual vibes! The interior is very spacious!
3. The staff was friendly! The food did took a while, but I think they have a small staff in the morning!
Note: They do accept card transactions!

“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.“

“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. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I cannot believe I have been eating here for five years ever since I first moved to the US. I have tried many pho places, but I still love the flavor here the meat is tender, and the broth and everything blend together in such a harmonious way. Everyone on the recycletattoo team eats here and often orders takeout for our American and Mexican tattoo clients to introduce them to what Northern Vietnamese pho tastes like. The only downside is that this long standing restaurant hasn't upgraded its space, and the herbs are a bit too wet when served, which can make it a bit difficult to invite clients over to dine in. Still, I love the taste here and hope for some improvements so we can send even more clients from our tattoo shop over.“

“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.“

“Finally got to try this hole in the wall egg roll shop and I was very impressed with how delicious they were plus the very affordable pricing. I didn’t place an order beforehand and arrived around 4:30 PM and they only had #1 and #9 available. They also offer a slight discount if paying with cash. Next time, I’ll place an order so I can try the others!“

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

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“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.“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

“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 .“

“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.“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“Ok, this place is bomb! The eggrolls are perfect, and so are their wings and spaghetti! So, so, so goooood! The prices are also great and affordable! The service is as amazing! Mai took such good care of us and she was the absolute sweetest! We will definitely be back!“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

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

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

“Delicious vegetarian food at good prices. High backed private booths and great service.“

“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.“

“Good, authentic Vietnamese food with plenty of menu options for families and groups of friends. The dishes were tasty and there was something for everyone. One thing to note: the restaurant prefers cash payments and adds a 3% fee for credit card transactions.“

“Impressively extensive food selection. The presentation and portion are fairly decent but, it can be a little upgraded. The food quality, freshness & taste are surprisingly delicious! The front hostess or lady who sat us definite do NOT have any courtesy with unfriendly attitude & lacking any personality & rude. There's 4 of us on our birthday celebration & only gave us 3menu. I corrected with a request for 4 but, gave me an attitude of ‘I know, I'll get you another one. But, never return & no gesture of recognition to handle the situation. Unpleasantly rude & in that case, we will not return with that kind of attitude.“

“This place is really good. We got the Bun bo hue, vermacelli hanoi, and broken rice plate. Prices are reasonable and the flavors are good. I liked the little char on their Viet meatballs. The portions are decent. The bun bo hue has really good flavor, not watery nor just salty. You can order right off the tablet for quick orders. This might be one of my new favorite places to go.“

“Ngon 🤩 Khỏi cần phải về VN ăn uống làm gì 🤔 Cứ sang đây Đến loay hoay đây ăn là chuẩn 😎 K sợ ôm bụng chạy 😅“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“
