50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Garden Grove

“I’ve heard about Pho 79 being one of the best pho in OC. After finding Phoholic broth too sweet, I decided to try Pho 79, and it did not disappoint!
We arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday and waited around 20mins for our table.
We ordered a large pho, grilled pork with broken rice, and fried spring rolls.
I found the pho broth to be well balance just slightly too greasy for me but not a big issue at all! We weren’t offered noodle option so I’m assuming there is only one noodle option?
The fried spring rolls were decent but I think I’ve had better? This dish didn’t really stand out too much, and I will not order again next time I visit.
The grill pork with broken rice was pretty standard, tasted good but I think I’ll try something else or stick with pho for my next visit.
Paying for our meal was a bit confusing? I wasn’t sure if they would bring check over to table, but seems like others would go up to counter and pay so I just did that. It is cash only which is a bit inconvenience but I came prepared!
Will definitely come back for more pho if I’m in the area!“

“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.“

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

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“

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

“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.“

“This place has the best Vietnamese desserts. Customer service is good. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. I don't speak much Vietnamese but I know just enough to order. My go to is the Chè Ba Mau. Parking is limited but you can always park in the nearby neighborhood and walk there.“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“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.“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“I just tried this place for the first time and I'm glad I did and I'll definitely be going back. The food is fantastic, nice atmosphere, and extremely friendly staff. If you're looking for Vietnamese food this is the place to go. The prices are good also.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very friendly, a nice clean restaurant.“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“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“

“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 normally don’t comment on food but we liked this place. First time there and food was excellent. My family and I really enjoyed sample platter which had so many variety of flavors. Really enjoyed that. The owner and service was cool too. We’ll be back!“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“If you love Hu Tieu like I do, this is a place for you to try out. Their menu was very simple and easy to order. The hu tieu dry style with the broth on the side was so good. Bring me right back to my childhood time in Việt Nam. I recommend to go early to minimize waiting in line and finding parking.“

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

“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!!“

“Saturday 2/15/25 Lunch at Khoi Restaurant in Westminster with my sister. Trying out Vietnamese foods; ordered Com Tam and Bun Bo Hue. Delicious! Dishes are reasonably priced with a nice atmosphere.

Bella, restaurant staff, was friendly and work hard.

“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!“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“Great service and food was awesome! Coming back tomorrow!“

“Vietnamese Pho in California, delicious and irresistible flavor. The broth is rich, the meat is tender and fragrant. Affordable prices, suitable for students' budgets. The restaurant space is clean and airy. Staff serve quickly and enthusiastically.“

“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 very good. The place is big but there are not many customers. Maybe it was during weekdays at night. But there were a few empty tables with leftover food from prior customers that weren't cleaning that made me lose a bit of appetite. There isn't a 3 and a half star rating so I rounded my rating to 4.“

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

“Amazing texture on the egg noodles. You probably know this already but their noodles are made fresh every day. At this price-point, you cannot beat it for value. In addition, their duck noodles are also the best in town. The duck leg quarters are tender and delicious.“

“Me and my husband and I have been here a dozen times this past year. The only spot we venture out to when we’re craving rice rolls now! At my most recent visit, I brought my sister and mom in to try! As my usual order, i got their #1 ($14) - They cook their rice sheets fresh with every order, the flavor of the egg rolls is delicious, first time ever having fried ham here and I’m obsessed, the fried tofu is always such a bummer for me since it comes of old and dry with not alot of joy in my bites. The highlight is their nuoc mam, generously placed onto every table, right beside their chili. Be careful with that chili, but you can’t skip it! I can't recommend this enough. This is our favorite gem.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

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

“Tran Co Nuong Kitchen is a cozy restaurant that serves authentic tasting Vietnamese food. The atmosphere inside is cute, it has a “tropical” vibe with the brightly colored lamps and bamboo walls. We ordered the cha ca la vong (Vietnamese grilled fish) and the bun cha hanoi (grilled pork vermicelli). Hands down the best part is the amount of herbs and lettuce given with each meal- other Vietnamese restaurants I’ve gone to give nowhere near the amount this place does. I think this really adds to the food appeal, since you’re able to freely adjust the flavor profile of your meal depending on your tastes and preferences. The Vietnamese grilled fish was the perfect amount of crispy, and I was really able to taste the infusion of dill into the fish. The meat in the bun cha hanoi was tender, and the broth was flavorful and was balanced out very well by the side of pickled vegetables. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a light and authentic tasting meal.“

“First Experience It was so yummy and delicious I would recommend it😋🤤“

“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.“

“First time trying during the soft opening, i shared the birria broth pho with beef rib meat its absolutely delicious it doesn't come too spicy so you can add Sriracha to spice it up, the meat was very tender and flavorful. The price was very fair the atmosphere is clean and looks good, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I will return again to try other items like their smoothies and other pho flavors“

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

“They had the best chewy noodles and broth was clean and simple! I got the noodle soup with duck and it was the simplest dish but was absolutely perfect. They were open on thanksgiving day so we felt extra thankful to have this meal on a holiday. We will definitely be back!“

“I have been going here for like at least 8 years.
They have everything I like the food is good quality.
Prices are good, the service is just fine.

I take all my friends that want to try Vietnamese food here. All I can say is that I have been happy for a very long time thanks to these guys“

“MUST TRY place. This is probably the only restaurant that did not jack up the price after pandemic. The place is kept tidy. Great pho under $10 and love their egg rolls. Their pork dishes are great, too. Service is phonemenal, when I bring my elderly mom, the owner lady sits her by the door so mom does not have to walk far. Just LOVE this place!“

“I only visit this restaurant for the Baked Catfish (Ca Nuong Da Gion) so I will review that dish only. The fish was amazing as it smells really good and very crunchy. I think this restaurant is one of the best restaurant to come for this dish and I highly recommend it. Though, I don't really like the dipping sauce as much as I think it is a bit too diluted with water so the taste was not strong enough. But overall, still enjoyed the fish with my family.
It was $58 for the whole fish, so it's a bit more expensive compared to the past.“

“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.“

“The restaurant has plus points:
+ convenient location
+ lots of parking
+ airy
+ plenty of seating inside and outside
+ familiar Vietnamese dishes, seasoned quite well
+ variety of food and drinks
+ clean
+ agile staff
Points for improvement:
- Add filtered water
- pay more attention to customers“

“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.“
