50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Garden Grove

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.

Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.“

“Đậm đà miền trung. Quá ngon“

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

“Wow! It has Michelin stars for a reason! Great food is all about sauces and seasoning that elevates food. That’s Garlic & Chives. Fried salmon belly (so crispy), salmon roll with tamarind sauce (great compliment), crispy fried tofu (not a dull moment), razor clams, and Hanoi vermicelli (not only very different but the patties and broth were explosive). I always try many dishes and none disappointed here. The must likely “fail” suspect was fried tofu and I’d order it again. The atmosphere is nothing special, but it’s fine and the “crab boil” setup is actually nice for friends and family vibe. This could be an expensive high end restaurant with the food they are serving and yet it’s very affordable.“

“Best Pho I’ve ever had. Great prices, the owner brought us watermelon juice for the table, and 80’s music videos were playing on the tvs. Obvious locals enjoying a late night bite. Cool spot that proves you don’t need to go somewhere fancy to get great food.“

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

“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.“

“It was perfect timing for this Pho Hot Pot restaurant for our post spa/massage dinner! On this day, it did get much cooler in the evening, so hot pot was perfect! Our eyes definitely got hungry when we ordered this "Combo for 4" for just us 2, but it was the perfect opportunity to try different things! Thanks to our awesome server who was able to guide us through the menu, as noobs to the restaurant! Everything we tried was so delish and we had plenty to take home to share with our families! W“

“Made a stop late at night and just wanted to eat something, the fiod was so good that now I have to stop by here everytime! There were four of us and everyone's food was good (I was able to taste each one of the ordered food!) Everyone was impressed on how good their food was! Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Best Hoi An food in Orange County! We had the Cao lầu, bánh đập, and nem lụi thịt nướng. All three were fantastic! The owner was very friendly, and even brought us free chè for dessert! The menu is also quite large, with some great choices available that you can't find at other Vietnamese restaurants. I also appreciate the traditional Hoi An lanterns for decor. Plenty of parking available outside. 16 tables, each of which seats four, with the option to push together for larger groups.“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food our go to spot for great food and excellent customer service. Never fails“

“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.“

“One of the original places, and still the most pure tasting.

Idk what cococane does down in the same plaza but it never tastes as good. Come here if you're looking for the real thing, like what you'd get in Vietnam or any SEA or South American country“

“Banh cuon thit: it should have had more pork and mushroom in the rolls
Spring rolls: crunchy and tasty
Cha lua, cha chien: ok
Fish sauce: a bit blank
Customer service: 100/10, the waitress is so friendly and kind, I don't know her name but she worked morning shift 5 Nov. Love her!“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“The best com da dinh style food I’ve had. The restaurant was clean, the owners are welcoming and very nice unlike the typical treatment you would get at other Asian places. I loved everything I ordered and even the white rice is quality. I’m going back again tomorrow. Wow!“

“This restaurant barely fits 30 people, it's really small inside. So after you finish your food, you gotta go because people are lining up outside, plus the parking is so small. The food is really good. Consider this restaurant is like the eatery. Not a real restaurant, so you don't expect too much when you come here. Hu tiu , rice noodles( all kinds) are the best around Little Saigon, so far.“

“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!“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“Came here to pick up sandwiches and there steam buns and meat pies. Delicious on all counts including there passion fruit drink with boba. Will be going back again“

“Northern style Vietnamese food, great for warm summer days! Very delicate steamed rice sheets to wrap a variety of meats , fish cakes, sprouts , fresh herbs with a light sweet, spicy fish sauce. Cubes of beef tartar w glass noodles topped with chili and fresh slice of garlic was good too! Must try“

“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.“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“Didn’t expect it to be good, this spot was TeaPo before.We came here with Com Tam special in mind but the server said they stopped the Com Tam Special which was about 5.99 at 9:30pmSo we gotta order something else , my wife got the Bun Bo , i Got the Pho. Surprisingly my Pho 9.99 was very good , good fatty broth meats were good, veggie fresh. The Bun Bo was alright too But i ll get the Pho all the times ??Dont expect too much, You’ll be chilling and fine.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“The Bún Hûe and the Crispy Deep Fried Mushrooms were recommended to me by my server. Both dishes were very delicious. Their menu has many items specifically labeled vegan. Stick with the vegan labeled items as the protein sources in the other dishes may contain whey as per the server. The restaurant space is okay, nothing fancy. Overall, great food. Highly recommend.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“It was so delicious! So much so that I took a photo only after half of it was eaten! I ordered Bún bò hué I haven't enjoyed food this much in a long time! Thank you so much for the delicious food and the cleanliness of the restaurant

Parking: Huge free parking on the plaza.

Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent wheelchair access.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is very beautiful restaurant. Their food is really delicious, and service is great. The owner is friendly. I think the food taste is special. They have unique cooking style. They also have vegetarian choices. I love the place, will come back often“

“Wow. Just wow. How delicious is the house special soup? Or how about beef/pork ball soup? 10 out of 10. Just can't get enough of this place, and the staff is wonderful. Doesn't matter that I drive over 50 miles to come eat this amazing food. ?.“

“delicious and fast service“

“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.“

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

“The barbecue pork with rice and vermicelli is the best in OC. I’m here from nyc and I’ve been searching for these dishes all over oc and this place is the best. Great service, amazing food, awesome music and at a good price. I love this place, I eat here twice a day lol.“

“I have eaten here a few times and the food is honestly not bad. None of the dishes is the best around here, for example Pho Good across the street has better pho though Pho Hoan is still 2nd among the places I've eaten, one exception is pho satay since not many places sell it. Its advantage is that every dish is decent so you have a good variety to choose from.“

“Love decor and the best food“

“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.“

“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“

“The new management is the brother of the previous owner and revamping their restaurant with a new experienced kitchen staff. New Happy Hour 2pm-5pm Mon-Fri special price for Bun Rieu Cua Dong, Cha Ca La Vong, Pho Bo Dac Biet, Bun Dau Thit Luoc Mam Tom, and Canh Bun Cua Dong.Bun Rieu Cua Dong - Field Crab Paste Vermicelli:As their most popular dish, my relative liked it especially the Cua Dong which was shaped like a ball and gave the Bun Rieu its uniqueness. The tofu, cha ca, vegetables, and broth compliment each other. The clay pot and the bun on a separate dish are both clever ideas.Bo Ne - Sizzling Steak on Skillet:I liked this dish as the steak was very soft at medium well done. It came with a bowl of salad with freshly cut cucumbers, tomatoes, and salad. It also came with bread which I dip with the steak sauce. I asked for butter to go with the bread but they don't have that. But the owner said they will add next time which is a good sign that they care about customer's feedback.Canh Bun Cua Dong - Field Crab Water Spinach Noodle Soup:My relative's wife liked the broth and everything in it. She said the rau muong was fresh/soft, the tofu is thinly sliced as well as the cha ca. And like the bun rieu dish, the Cua Dong made it different compared to other restaurants. She liked it even better than same dish at Quan Bun Ban Mai.Bot Chien Trung - Tempura Flour & Fried Eggs:We all shared this dish. It took some time for this dish to come out. But I learned that this dish is another of their specialty in which they have to cook it in a special way, hence the extra preparation time. Was it worth it? Definitely yes. It was still sizzling and I almost burn my tongue. I dip the flour in fish sauce and ate with the garnish Cu Cai Chua (Pickled Daikon?). What made this dish stand out is the fried onions which was made fresh, not from pre-packaged jar. I can see why it took longer to prepare this dish, a must try.There is plenty of parking, but is packed on weekends. The decor is very nice from the bamboo walls to the colorful lighting to the mellow music. It all made it a relaxing experience while enjoying the good food. The staff were very attentive and friendly. This restaurant will do well for sure.I will be back to try their Banh Xeo, ppl are raving about it.“
