28 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Fountain Valley

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

“Came here and found a hidden gem. Probably one the best Banh mi in town. I got the chicken Bahn Mi and the beef Pho and that was spectacular too. Super fresh bread really delicate taste on the Pho. A lot of love goes into the food here you can tell.
Come eat here !“

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

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

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

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I've been dining in Little Saigon for 20 years and have never been here as it is tucked behind Dennys.we ordered the egg noodle special. Wow! The presentation was yummy. Took sip of the soup and wowowo what an amazing aroma of flavors. The soup base taste was.just amazing. The egg noodle was fresh and bouncy. After this amazing bowl.of egg noodle we concluded this is the best egg noodle restaurant in Little Saigon.“

“The staff here are truly amazing. They always make me feel comfortable and welcome, almost like family. What I really appreciate is that their kindness never feels forced or over the top — it feels genuine every time 🙏

I’ve been coming to this place for over 10 years, and the quality has stayed consistently great. The broth has such a deep and rich flavor, and everything is always clean, fresh, and fully stocked so you can build your perfect bowl 🍜✨

It’s honestly one of those rare spots that never changes in the best way possible.

I’ve recommended Yummy to many of my coworkers already, and I’ll continue to do so 😄

Thank you guys! I’ll be back next week, the week after that, and the week after that again ❤️
Will keep posting and supporting!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Solid place for bun bo hue, large is only $1 more but a generous portion. Interior is typical mid-range Vietnamese for the area, nothing fancy, booth seating, but still pleasant enough. And service is quick. They have more up and coming competitors in the same plaza, but Ngu Binh still holds up.“

“Delicious! I had the crispy pork belly wraps, the seafood tom kha pasta and a coconut matcha drink. All were absolutely beyond expectations. The service is spectacular! Shout out to our server Young for the recommendations and great amicable service. On top of it all, the space is very beautiful and inviting.

Aaand, I was a klutz and spilled my coconut matcha...I was devastated because I hadn't had much and I made a disaster. Shout out to Robert for calmly helping out with a smile...he cleaned the entire mess AND brought me a whole new drink which he didn't have to do!“

“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.“

“This place is my go-to spot for pho, especially when I’m craving chicken pho. I remember when they were in their original tiny location with only a few tables and even had to build a small shack just to expand. They outgrew that space fast, and this new location makes total sense.

The current spot is modern, clean, and sleek with plenty of tables, so they can actually handle the crowd now. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the broth. It’s clean, light, and incredibly fresh. You don’t walk out feeling heavy or sluggish, just satisfied. That’s hard to find with pho, and they do it right every time.“

“CONGRATULATIONS .... FÉLICITATIONS“

“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.“

“After my routine dental cleaning, my husband and I stopped by for a Vietnamese bánh mì as a little afternoon treat. Bánh Mì & Chè Cali has several locations and I usually go to the Bolsa location for takeout. This Fountain Valley spot has indoor seating, but before Amazon Fresh closed, I would just pass by, grab something quickly, and leave. Today was my first time actually dining in.

As usual, my husband ordered two #1 (Ham & Meat Loaf). I normally go for the #6 (Pork Skin), but they don’t have it at this location, so I tried the #5 BBQ Pork instead.

Bánh mì are $6 each with a buy 2, get 1 free deal, and their noodle bowls are $13 for a large. Honestly, prices like this are hard to find these days and they are delicious.

“Its a pleasantly surprise food experience. We like its fusion taste.
My husband wanted to try this restaurant just because he likes it largefolded front door LOL. I didnt want to because I heard not so good reviews from my co-worker. 3rd time the charm, I decided to fulfill his wish :).
Its Chinese but with a little Vietnamese twist and so food is not too oily. I really like their Szechuan chili oil, their side sauce. The tingling sensation it left on your tastebud but not too overwhelming is a nice add to your dishes. Chasiu is a tad sweeter what you think chasiu taste should be. Its seasoning by maple syrup, light soy sauce, miso made it sweet, but what I like is its smokiness and lightly salted. Fried rice is fragrant and soft. The salted egg lava bao was really good, but it could be better if they could keep it warm like how other disum places do.
Overall, I would come back.“

“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!“

“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.“
