50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Garden Grove

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

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

“Everything was fresh and delicious! The broth was clean and didn't need any Sriracha or hoisin sauces to make it good. The combo fried rice was excellent, with all the meats fresh, crispy, and not greasy at all!! The Lao beef was cooked to perfection as ordered medium, and the dipping sauces were authentic and fresh. This is a must goto spot. Also open late which is a plus for me! The staff was very attentive and professional. Truly a gem.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Khoi is such a gem! The Vietnamese hotpot here is absolutely delicious, and the Tom Yum soup base is hands-down my favorite — the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and comforting.
I also love that they offer Yakiniku-style cooking options with short ribs, shrimp, and pork — it’s fun, interactive, and everything tastes so fresh. On top of that, the variety of sauces is fantastic, giving you endless ways to customize every bite.

The service is always outstanding — attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Khoi makes dining feel like an experience, not just a meal.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving bold flavors, variety, and a place that truly takes care of its guests!“

“Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is one of those places that instantly earns five stars. I first discovered them through DoorDash and immediately fell in love—but once I came in person, I realized just how much of a hidden gem this spot really is (and how much more affordable it is dining in).

The menu hits all the Vietnamese classics: a solid lineup of Vietnamese appetizers, cơm tấm (broken rice), bún (vermicelli) bowls, and plenty of traditional Vietnamese drinks to round out the meal. Everything feels comforting, well-portioned, and thoughtfully prepared.

What really stands out—besides the food—is the value. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for today: vermicelli dishes range from $12–$15, and broken rice plates from $12–$17. For the quality and portion size, it’s honestly a steal.

The owner was the one who took my order, and they were genuinely kind and personable, which made the experience even better. That personal touch goes a long way and really reflects the heart behind the restaurant.

If you’re ordering delivery, it’s great—but if you can, come in person. It’s noticeably cheaper and well worth it. Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is comforting, affordable, and run with care—exactly the kind of neighborhood Vietnamese spot you want to keep coming back to.“

“I’ve found myself coming to this spot many times whenever I’m in OC. It’s one of the few places where you can find a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes beyond just pho, which, honestly, a lot of places still don’t get right.

I’ve tried more than six different dishes here, and every single one has been flavorful, delicious, and truly authentic. It tastes just like home.

Some of my favorites are the Bún Mắm, Bánh Hỏi Heo Quay, Bún Riêu, and Hủ Tiếu Mì Khô—all so good and packed with flavor. I don't recommend Bột Chiên tho!

The service is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Vietnamese food that goes beyond the usual. A hidden gem worth checking out!“

“Absolutely DEEElicious!! Wonderful service! Great tasting food! Fresh and fast. Many options, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan. You can tell the owner really cares about his place, his product, and his customers. Great pricing too! Totally recommend to EVERYONE. Will be back, and often!! 💕“

“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.“

“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.“

“Since I returned from a trip to central Vietnam 4 years ago I’ve been chasing down a bowl of authentic cao lau. Living in San Francisco and Portland I can hardly get my hands on cao lau, so little Saigon has been a destination for me. This was my first and only required stop when I finally visited the area and it did not disappoint! The Cao Lao noodles were perfectly square and chewy, the broth herby and flavorful. The pea greens were also delicious. The lovely man who works and runs this with his wife was so friendly. I’ll be back!“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“Great soups. I tried pork blood here for the first time. 👍🏽“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Hot Stone Pho! Andy took excellent care of us—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He recommended the Hot Stone Short Rib and the iced green tea, and both were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls, which were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made.

The restaurant itself is spotless, with a welcoming atmosphere and a team of staff who are all very helpful and polite. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, and the presentation made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality pho and great service!“

“Small and clean Viet restaurant. Love this place cause they've variety of Viet street food with cheap prices. The rice paper salad is okay, the fermented shrimp past was kinda salty and I wasn't enjoy it at all. Pha lau was the best.“

“Omg this is my new favorite spot for Hu tieu nam vang! I got the dry version with rice noodles which came it to around $15. It was soo delicious and perfectly balanced. The sauce brings the whole dish together and love the pickled garlic! Broth was so good and comforting. The gentlemen taking our order was so friendly and upbeat. Definitely recommend!!“

“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 😅“

“I'm a Korean, and I’ve traveled all over Vietnam many times, and I can confidently say this place has better dishes than anywhere in Vietnam...!!! Make sure to add oxtail — it’s absolutely heavenly. I’ll definitely be coming here often!“

“Place was packed during Saturday lunch and the food speaks for itself. Recommend by a friend because they know I love dry hu thieu. The chilli is actually spicy. I packed my bowl with the pickled garlic and burping up garlic breath the rest of the day but worth it!“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“Pho 45 in Garden Grove is a bright, busy, and very clean spot with a friendly vibe. We ordered the phở tái chín và viên and the phở tái nạm gân. The portions were generous and well balanced, with fresh herbs and noodles. The broth was light and I personally wished for a bit more spice aroma, but it was still one of the better pho experiences I have had.

The service truly stood out. For a small mom and pop restaurant, it was the best I have seen. The owner watches every detail and the staff is very attentive. I had a stroller with me and before I even reached the table they cleared a chair so I could park it easily. Our food also came out super fast.

The space is simple with white textured walls and is very family friendly. Service is a 10, food is a 9. I would definitely return“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“Arrived right before midnight on the way home from a concert. Our normal pho place was already closed. We arrived right before midnight to find a nice lady holding the door open for us she then walked us to an open table. We had menus and drinks within seconds, ordered shortly after I ordered a large and it was massive! Definitely don’t need a large. 2 bowls of hot soup came out shortly after broth was great veggies were great meat was great. Cute and clean little interior as well. Would absolutely go back and recommend to anyone that loves pho. Total was $36 for one regular and one large with a soda and a water.“

“Lưu Luyến Bánh Cuốn is always fresh and delicious. It is consistent through t out the year. Not expensive and the staff is courteous and friendly.

With families or with friends place to hang out for quick breakfast or lunch.“

“Friendly and clean restaurant.
Ordered Banh Xeo and Cripsy Pork belly Banh Hoi.
If you come here for Banh Xeo, I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s oily(more like deep fried crepe). The pork belly is has good season.
May come again to try different this if I’m in the area.“

“Great little family place for Quang providence dishes. I think it’s family run so there is one person doing multi taskssss (greeter, table setter, taking & placing orders, cleaning tables, making drinks, and cashier). There is another person doing the running from the kitchen and I’m sure there is one or two cooks in there. Overall, service is nice, easy, and fast. Foods are excellent from what we ordered, we didn’t want to try the crepes since it’s literally not from there. Our foods are very tasty, well mixed and bigger portion than I thought, plus for the prices, I would say nice & affordable. Free & easy parking since it’s in a big plaza. Simply decor but bright and clean. Will come back for more.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The hot passion mocktail was the perfect blend of tart and spicy. We had the duck tacos and pumpkin and prawn soup, which we would make a special trip back for. Manny was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal. Above and beyond service! There was live music with an amazing violinist and pianist. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Plus it's absolutely beautiful inside!“

“Fish was very crips and perfectly cooked!!! Will be back for sure!!!!!!!!!“

“After finding this gem 3 years ago, we've been religious about ordering their eggrolls for parties and potlucks'. They fry them fresh, prices are steal, pork and shrimp eggrolls are both delicious! They only take cash and be sure to place an order before you head out since they don't take ore orders!“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“Good spot that’s 24 hours! Sister had pho and I had a beef plate with eggs that came out on sizzling platter. Also had Vietnamese coffee. Food was great service, well once food was ordered and dropped never had any further interaction. I wanted another coffee only nobody came to check up on us so it was never ordered. Food great and service not so good.“

“best pho in garden grove!!! hot soup when it comes out. fresh smell of beef. no msg added. Cleanliness 👍 inexpensive 👍 lots of meat. plus I'm from norcal bay area. that says alot“

“Đậm đà miền trung. Quá ngon“

“Cozy little local restaurant with wonderful staffing! We came by near closing time and they were still very kind and efficient. Portions are great and ingredients are fresh but there is a limited quantity so it’s best to go early. Yummy and filling! This place is Ike Eveland approved ?“

“Tried this place a year ago and it was ok but apparently it's been under new ownership for the past few months so I went to try it out again and it definitely felt like a better experience. I was shocked. Food was more delicious than I expected and the staff was extremely attentive. Next time I'm in Garden Grove, I'll definitely try and hit up this place again.“

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

“It was decent and cheap price for Pho bò (ordered combo). The broth is fine but later, my mouth is dry for the rest of the day. Parking is easy and plenty. Service is nice and friendly. The place is big and clean with simple decor. They have their special deal right now for $8 for regular combo bowl or $10 for big bowl. They do have other dishes too but I came here to try the pho since I just got back to the US and need some comfort food plus it chill in the morning here in SoCal so perfect dish for it. Oh yea, CASH only.“

“The catfish medium is good for 3 people and it’s so GOOD seriously!!! The porridge is just so so in my opinion. Will come again for its catfish.“

“We go to this place so much I think they need to have some point reward system for regulars like us. Our favorites from Thanh Son Tofu: Thai ice tea (best and cheapest in town), Pandan tofu pudding, soy jello, and fried mushrooms onions tofu. Ăn ngon, ăn sạch và ăn thanh đạm nha.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“I first found out about Năm Giao through a friend whose family knows the owners, and now it’s one of my go-to spots — especially for the baked catfish. It’s tucked away in the OG Tastea Plaza, and honestly, I’d never even noticed it until I was put on to it.

Lots of places serve baked catfish, but this one is honestly my favorite. It’s flavorful, fresh, and decently priced for what you get.

It’s a no-frills, family-run spot, and you can really feel that when you come in. The staff is always nice — you can tell they care. They take cards, but cash is always better for them.

I’ve dined in a few times and done takeout as well. When I order to go, they even bring it out to my car, which is so thoughtful. Just a tip — they don’t give a ton of vegetables with the catfish (probably to avoid waste), so if you like making rolls and go heavy on the veggies, just ask for more. They’ll happily give it to you.

They’ve also got little side dishes you can grab at the counter, and everything comes out in a reasonable time — unless it’s super busy, which is fair.

My other favorite dish here is the bánh bèo — it’s so good. The crispy pork topping is better than most places, and every time I get it, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. Writing this actually makes me want to go again soon.

Definitely recommend this spot, especially for the baked catfish and bánh bèo. Hidden gem in the OG Tastea Plaza.“

“My wife have always been a big fan of this special food: Bo 7 Món and the grilled cat fishes. We used to go to the same restaurant located at Westminster Blvd, but always want to try a new location. Today, we were in our way to try the restaurant 777 located in a food court attached to the Lucky Super Market. Just before arriving that place, we discovered the sight of Thiên Ân and were very surprised because we didn't know that location. We then spontaneously changed our plan and turned into this restaurant. Another surprise came up when we saw a familiar face who welcomed us with a big smile, Mr. Phuc, the former owner of the location on Westminster Blvd. My wife also recognized him right away. It ends up with a feast of grilled fishes. We have never enjoyed such a tasty and well prepared grilled fish until that day. Phuc explained that he has installed a new kind of oven that enables him to grill fishes crunchy outside and tender and juicy inside, not to forget the flavor of freshness we experienced well that day. Every things functioned well from a bright and friendly atmosphere to the extreme friendly from the staff. We were overwhelmed from all the good things on one day! Thank you Mr. Phuc! We will return with our guests soon. Good luck and keep the great service spirit up!“

“Is a good quality and authentic Vietnamese pho. The coffee is very good also.“

“tremendously huge mugwort sugar cane drink definitely reminded me of Vietnam in the summer where you need a icy cold drink to keep cool, reminiscent and Tad's too sweet, but I like it when the ice melt into it. I like definitely like the experience“

“Very delicious good food and great service Recommend for family Come there to enjoy food and have good time with family and friends“

“Đồ ăn Việt Nam chân thực, mang hương vị quê hương“

“Great place for a great bowl of pho, especially o bc a cold morning or when you’re not feeling well. Plenty of parking since it is in a shopping complex and there’s also street parking behind the place with direct hallway entrance . Great service by the staff there, all way helpful and cheerful with the customers. The broth is great, depth in favor and simply delish. There is a sale right now for $7.99 for regular size and $9.99 for large size for selected type of pho. The place is simple, clean, and simple well taken care of. They do have other dishes but I only come here for pho. If you get the special pho to go, they will add $1 to it. The only down side to this is that CASH payment only, so make sure you have the cash.“

“Ordered the combo and it did not disappoint! Pork was super crispy and juicy. Lemongrass beef was flavorful (I think I liked this even more than the pork!) Combo comes with a free drink
Not too many tables inside so would recommend take out or small groups only.“

“The place is clean, open, and friendly. The staff was very professional and helpful. They have dried meats, spring roll vegetables, and meat, seafood, and egg roll options. When coming in someone greets you at the door, asking if you are looking for anything specific. They welcomed me in Vietnamese but switched to English once they realized it was easier for me to understand. The dried fish and chicken are so delicious is fresh and the packages are sealed after purchase. The dried meats and vegetarian options were delicious. I will come back again.!“
