43 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Culver City

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“This place is amazing. The pho portions are huge, delicious, and affordable. The banh mi and spring roll appetizers are especially good. It’s a short walk away from the liveliness of downtown Culver. And the staff are all so friendly and kind! Highly recommend Phovorite for your next pho outing.“

“Love eating here! Friendly service and delicious food! They have lots of options .“

“Arrived near closing time but decided to try it. There was metered street parking a short distance from the place. Located in Santa Monica (Montana Ave.) it was small but cozy. The owner was welcoming as I entered. I ordered the shrimp & pork spring rolls and the Pho Ga (shredded chicken). Definitely a bit too much food but I was satisfied with everything. I would definitely stop by again to try their Banh Mi or Bowls.“

“Pretty good option, I was so glad they have tons of vegan options! This is a great place
to eat if you are vegan but have a meat eating friend they have something for everyone. I just got a bahn mi but hope to come back for more. It tasted way better than the pic I took. Service was a little slow but supposedly they make everything from scratch.“

“Phorage on Overland in Los Angeles is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine. The menu has a cool mix of traditional and modern dishes that are both tasty and unique. The Pho Birria is absolutely incredible. 10/10“

“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! 🍲“

“For all you vegans and vegetarians out there, the tofu banh mi is SPECTACULAR. Don’t sleep on O Bahn Mi. Great lunch at an old school price. Might be two lunches depending on your appetite! Limited seating but you can usually snag a spot. Thai coffee is sweet and has that caffeine kick.“

“I love this pho spot! The ambience is great. The customer service is speedy and you are immediately given a warm welcome as you step in. The food is also really good (although I’ve only ever ordered number 4, the steak and brisket pho 👌🏽). I did try a bit of the shrimp pho when my mom ordered it, and it was good, but I’m more into beef than seafood, so that’s just personal preference. Definitely check it out. This was where I tried pho for the first time and it hits the spot every time.“

“I made a trip to this spot after seeing the great reviews, and overall was ok. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, and the service was pleasant.

We ordered the ribs combo pho and the brisket and meatball pho — both bowls had a solid, flavorful broth that hit the spot. The ribs wasnt that amazing. The egg rolls were crispy and well-seasoned. Thai tea was also great.

My main gripe is the meat portions felt a little skimpy for the price — I expected a bit more generosity in the bowl. At around $60 for two people, it’s on the pricier side for pho, which did temper the experience slightly.

That said, the quality is clearly there. If the portions were bigger or the price a touch lower, this would be an easy five stars. Worth a visit, but go in with calibrated expectations on value.“

“We I know he was like playing with me and then he was like wait she’s gone yeah you’re just having a little separation anxiety. You just wanna be right in the middle between all of us. ordered this food for delivery. And it really delivered! Highly recommend the crispy turmeric fish. It was perfection!“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“the bahn mi sandwiches are great here!“

“Small and cozy. Really kind attentive staff, amazing prices, and even more incredible food. Hit this spot at least once a week for lunch, bring clients and staff here regularly, always a great experience and happy belly. Every dish is spectacular. 10/10 recommend“

“Great food and good vibes!“

“This is my second time here at Simply pho you. I didn’t find the time to write a review then but this time I made the time. Food was great! We ordered a shrimp fried rice to share, I got a combo pho and my wife got a tendon pho. We are very critical about our pho and this place did not disappoint. The last time we had great pho was in Hawaii on our honey moon and this place definitely hit close to our expectations. Service was also good, but I can say that I waited for the check for a little too long but it wasn’t terrible. Love this place and definitely recommend.“

“Update: I used to love and recommend this place but idk whats going on and its sad, the broth which is the main point is always 50/50 now. When its good its really good but when they miss sometimes its flavorless or super sweet as opposed to originally packed with flavor and all around balanced on bone flavor, spice herb packed, and sweet. Please follow old recipe or something. Still the pork spring rolls are a must have with the peanut sauce no matter what!“

“I come to this place 4x a week whenever I am back in LA, no joke. Nicest people who manage the place, man and woman. Everything is perfect — The pho is heavenly, the bahn mi is savory. The iced coffee is strong, which is what you need. Always a perfect experience.“

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“Underrated place. The PHO Broth is CLEAR.
its so light and good, loaded with cilantro and green onions. The broth is better than Saigon Dish. The old guy is forgetful but thats because he needs to be more busy. Simple Menu when you want PHO.“

“I've eaten here four times and the food is always great. However, today I tried the Salted Cinnamon Cold Foam Cold Brew, and I will never be the same. It is the best coffee drink I've ever had, and it isn't even close. I don't even have words to describe it, it's just amazing. The staff is friendly and the food is fresh and tasty. I want to try the other coffee drinks now too, but I can't comprehend how a drink could taste better than this. Thank you Vui Ve, you changed a man's life today.“

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

“Initially a little confusing as you need to walk closer to the back. Seating is a bit hard to get especially on busier nights. They seemed somewhat understaffed but at no fault of the servers of course. The food itself was amazing. I got the house or wagyu pho. The broth was hearty and the meat was excellent. Would come again.“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“The tumeric fish noodle is one of my favorite dishes in Los Angeles. The flavor combinations are perfect, it is so well cooked and just feels like true comfort food. I order it whenever I’m needing a little love. Thank you Viet Noodle Bar.“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

“I ordered the Phorrito. Absolutely AMAZING!!! The restaurant is super clean and inviting, the outdoor patio is also cozy. The staff is very nice and talkative.
The restaurant is a little bit tucked away, but it’s not hard to find. A true diamond in the rough of downtown LA.“

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

“🙏🏆🥂 reasonable price, excellent food and good service.“

“the pho soups were awesome 😀🤗🤗🤗“

“Very tasty sandwiches!! Great Vietnamese flavor!!!!“

“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“

“Interesting experience. Might be our new hotpot place to go. The restaurant look great. Love the Japanese fast food concept. Not sure about the Japanese pop music, bit didn't bother us. Servers very nice and attentive but didn't have same taste (recomendations). We ordered the spicy tonkatsu and the another 3rd infantry division spicy soup, and the octopus balls. The food is great. Love the individual hotpot. Yet, I prefer more traditional hotpot without hotdogs, cheese, and spam. I will never order that 3rd infantry division soup, LoL. But definitely the tonkotsu one. I recomend this place.“

“Reviewing solely for the mango sticky rice I just got delivered. Great presentation and very good! Definitely would order again. Otherwise, I've been coming here for four-ish years and the food is always good. I've never been disappointed.“

“Really love this place! Heard about it through theskedge.com for the first time the other day & was blown away. Cheap food & their pho is incredible! Great place for a quick meal. I definitely recommend.“

“The owner did a really good job adopting some traditional dishes into vegetarian versions, and they have a vegetarian category. The traditional fish sauce is a soy and vinegar alternative for my rice noodles. I tried their #28, vegetarian pho, spring rolls and egg rolls. Really good. Other Vietnamese places hardly have such a big selection.

The owner and nice waiter always remembers what I like and brings my food.“

“Fantastic food. We had the DineLA menu and a great introduction to their food. Awesome service. Love the interior. Will be back again“

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

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“
