28 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Fountain Valley

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

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

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

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

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to dine at this establishment with my family for over 15 years now, and the food has remained consistent this whole time. I ordered one of their broken rice dish combos, and it was amazing, just as I remembered, having as a kid.“

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

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

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

“The bún bò huế tasted not as spicy as I had thought it would be since I do not handle spice that well. The service was pretty quick, due to not many people in the restaurant around 7pm on a Wednesday. If you are planning to use credit card, they have a minimum purchase of $25 or more (don't know if they are going to change this in the near future) and the parking is free.“

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

“A hidden boba shop that just happens to serve pho and other food options. They don't specialize in pho and only have one variety (prime rib pho), but it slaps and is jam packed with meat! Only 10 bux and comes with a free small drink of your choice.

Unfortunately I had to deduct a star for lack of consistency. The pho ranges from amazing to just average, and I suspect it depends on the time of day. Try to come in the mornings.“

“I went here today for a late lunch/early dinner.I was craving banh cuon and I remember an old friend saying this place sold it. I bought a pound of each option. I think it was something like 5.99/lb for plain and 6.99/lb for meat? It came with bean sprouts and sauce but I stopped by green farm market to grab some more veggies and assembled a bowl for myself at home.Additionally, I got a banh bao and baguette and mayo+pate($4.5) & cha chien ($7) . All totaled about ~$27 and i got approximately 6-8 meals out of it.The baguette was really good and flavorful, I could smell the butter. My neice really liked the cha chien , she kept asking for more.They also take card !! Definitely would come back :)“

“Good food! 🦐🍜

The menu has decent options and I found the place to be a lot better than some previous restaurants that we've been to. I highly recommend getting the dầu cháo quẩy, mì, hủ tiếu, and mì xào giòn. Each mì and hủ tiếu bowl comes with a shrimp cracker.

* Dầu Cháo Quẩy: 9/10 - nice crisp and flavor but oily
* Mì Tôm Chiên: 7/10 - combination was interesting
* Mì Hải Vị: 9/10 - plenty of seafood
* Hủ Tiếu Mì Á Đông: 9/10 - good variations of meat and seafood
* Mì Xào Mềm Bò Mực: 7/10 - liked the flavor but think the fried egg noodle would've been better

I enjoyed my meal and would come back again, but there are a couple of things that I think are important to keep in mind:
- It's CASH ONLY
- Some items on the menu didn't have a price so it's a mystery when you pay the bill

The workers were attentive and the place had plenty of tables. It's located in the popular Fountain Valley Town Center so there's always plenty of parking.

Be sure to stop by! 😋“

“Yummy Pho – 4 Stars

Yummy Pho is a solid spot for a comforting bowl of pho and other Vietnamese favorites. The broth is flavorful and well-balanced, and the ingredients taste fresh. The portion sizes are generous, and the menu has a good variety of options to choose from.

The service is decent and the staff is friendly, though it can get a little busy during peak hours, which sometimes slows things down. The atmosphere is clean and casual, making it a good place for a quick meal or a relaxed lunch with friends.

Overall, if you’re craving good pho and Vietnamese food at a reasonable price, Yummy Pho is definitely worth checking out.“

“Daniel super friendly and kind server! We really appreciated the kindness and alert to attend to my friends that we invited to Nep Cafe for the first time. They all love the food, ambiance, and the server. We will all come back soon ^^ Thank you for the best food and Daniel!“

“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!“

“Warm light, wood accents, and the soft hum of a dining room that feels unhurried. You catch the aroma of simmering broths and fresh herbs as you sit. The room reads welcoming and polished, a neighborhood spot that treats dinner like a small occasion.

The Food
Clean, balanced flavors with the depth you expect from central Vietnamese cooking. Broths taste clear yet layered, sauces stay bright, and textures land exactly where they should. Plates feel satisfying without heaviness, the kind of meal that leaves you content and clear headed.

Service & Atmosphere
Gracious and organized. Staff check in at the right moments, pace courses well, and offer helpful guidance without hovering. The room holds steady energy without getting loud, easy for a date night, family dinner, or a relaxed meal with friends.

More Details
• Vegetarian options: A solid handful of meat free choices. Staff can help assemble a full vegetarian meal.
• Dietary restrictions: Fish sauce, soy, peanuts, and shellfish are common. The team is attentive to adjustments where possible.
• Parking: Typically ample plaza parking with steady turnover during dinner hours.
• Kid friendliness: Comfortable for families, quick pacing and shareable plates.
• Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entry with movable seating. Ask for a roomier table at peak times.

Final Take
Refined comfort with clarity and heart. Five stars for flavor, kindness, and a room that makes you want to linger for one more conversation.“

“CONGRATULATIONS .... FÉLICITATIONS“

“the broth is clear, not greasy, which I appreciate. But the flavor just doesn’t fully develop—it lacks that deep chicken richness and layered aromatics I expect from great phở gà. I’d give it a 3.5 out of 5. Not bad, but not crave-worthy either.

Service was quick, the place was clean, and prices were fair.“

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.“

“I got Banh Mi xiu Mai and Herbal Tea today at Banh Mi Che Cali . This is the first time i take positive energy from people working there Miss Tram she very friendly, beautiful smile, super good service she always smile when she talk with me . I hope every next morning when i drop by i will meet her in the front of the cashier instead she stay in the back kitchen.“

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!“

“Came for brunch and was not disappointed. Going have to come back to try all the dishes. But so far it’s pretty good. The dim sum was nothing special nor bad. I Liked the other dishes but couldn’t try the dinner menu. Service for this establishment was on point.“

“Lee’s Sandwiches is a classic. If you're craving Vietnamese coffee, this is the spot. It’s sweet, creamy, packed with caffeine, and ice cold. I've been coming to this location since I was a kid and they've always had a lot of customers. It's still here too which goes to show you how good this particular location is.

Their banh mi are always tasty and consistent. Prices have gone up a bit over time, but it’s still a reliable go-to when you want something satisfying and quick.“

“Had a good experience at this THH. It was a great spot for a quick bite and they had a large selection of ready made foods. We just got a few different banh mi. My son and husband got bbq pork and lemongrass beef. They said the pork was the way to go. I had the fried shrimp and really enjoyed it. We also picked up some spring rolls. The Vietnamese iced coffees are nuclear strong, but super good. My husband has tried other locations and said this one is different and has more ready-made foods. It was pretty busy when we went there. I would go back. I saw a lot of things I want to try next time.“
