50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Gardena

“Best Pho place around. You know a place is going to hit when they have large sauce bottles
On the table . As soon as we stepped in we were greeted , which I appreciate considering many places leave u standing there awkwardly. The music level was on point , low enough to talk loud enough to appreciate. The staff is very kind , they give off family vibes . Food came out quickly and hot . We’ve been here several times so this review is long overdue . The pics I took before we left . Next time I’ll do a before and after not just an after ….. Two enthusiastic thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Update: I used to love and recommend this place but idk whats going on and its sad, the broth which is the main point is always 50/50 now. When its good its really good but when they miss sometimes its flavorless or super sweet as opposed to originally packed with flavor and all around balanced on bone flavor, spice herb packed, and sweet. Please follow old recipe or something. Still the pork spring rolls are a must have with the peanut sauce no matter what!“

“Got the lemon June drink and the truffle fried rice to go and both were really delicious. The rice Had pork and sausage in it and came with great side of in house soy sauce on the side as well as utensils and the lemon June drink had peach purée and it was super refreshing, a bit in the pricey side for everything but it was all super good so I’d definitely come back and try more, inside was fairly small but the decor was super nice and service was good and on point so I’d definitely recommend this spot“

“THIS FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!“

“Friendly, great customer service. Food is delicious 😋“

“Came in and got the bbq pulled pork sandwich which was pretty good, bread was a bit hard but it wasn’t bad or the best, but the wings were definitely a hit! Super juicy tender and crispy probably better than most chicken wing spots and the spring roll was trash it had no flavor at all and neither did the sauce that came with it so most likely not coming back“

“If you love pho, this is the place to eat! Many flavors, i went with the P13. Pho with Rare Steak & Well-Done Brisket and the steak was soo good, then the brisket just added another level of flavor. Definitely will be back.
Wait was short and the staff was so friendly and prompt, never had an empty drink. Food came out reasonably fast and hot!“

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

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“If you’re looking for great pho, this Vietnamese restaurant absolutely delivers. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, with deep flavor that tastes like it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were fresh, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Everything came out hot and beautifully prepared, with fresh herbs that really completed the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. This is easily one of the best places around for a satisfying bowl of pho, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“Phorage on Overland in Los Angeles is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine. The menu has a cool mix of traditional and modern dishes that are both tasty and unique. The Pho Birria is absolutely incredible. 10/10“

“Love this place customer service is great,food is great and not that pricey!I truly would recommend :)“

“Small and cozy. Really kind attentive staff, amazing prices, and even more incredible food. Hit this spot at least once a week for lunch, bring clients and staff here regularly, always a great experience and happy belly. Every dish is spectacular. 10/10 recommend“

“Pho Hue Oi is a straight up hidden gem in Torrance and I am OBSESSED. Family owned, incredibly warm, and the service is next level — the kind where you feel like you’re eating at someone’s house and they actually want you there.

The food? Let me get into it. Their Lomo Saltado hits different because they put a Vietnamese spin on it and somehow it works even better than the original. Bold, saucy, wok-fired perfection.

Now. Mom’s rice cake dish — I cannot pronounce it but I CAN tell you exactly what’s in it: shrimp, crunchy pork rinds, finished with fish sauce and Thai chilies. It sounds simple. It is NOT simple. It is layered, funky, crispy, savory and I was not prepared for how good it was. That dish alone earns all five stars.

No alcohol here but their Thai tea is genuinely elite. Thick, creamy, cold — does the job beautifully.

If you haven’t been to Pho Hue Oi yet, what are you even doing? Go. Bring people. Order everything.“

“Authentic food, great service and definitely recommended.

They also have a decent list of items on their vegetarian section of the menu - mostly Tofu for the protein option in vegetarian but the taste is still retained be it the rice, noodles or the bunmi.

Our server was very friendly but alert to all our requests.“

“This Vietnamese pork bún is simple, filling, and very satisfying.

The grilled pork is the highlight—big, well-cooked pieces with a smoky, savory flavor. It’s generous and feels hearty rather than skimpy. The noodles are light and soak up the sauce nicely, while the fresh vegetables add crunch and keep the bowl from feeling too heavy.

The spring roll is a nice extra, giving a crispy bite, and the sauce is delicious—savory with a touch of sweetness, bringing everything together when mixed.

Overall, it’s a well-balanced bowl with good pork, fresh sides, and a great sauce, served in a generous portion.“

“Everything was 10 stars!! Pho is the best I’ve had in South Bay to date and I’ve eaten at many!! Best best best beef tallow fries ever!! No nasty crappy oils used! And the pho is made with BONE BROTH!! The fried brisket rice….no words absolutely delish!!! Prices are really good! This is my new go to for fries and Pho and fried rice!! Service was on point and the owner came out to greet us too! 10 out of 10!!“

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“What a hidden gem. It doesnt look like much as its a small mom and pop type place in a strip mall. Theres a parking lot right in front. The inside is clean and is nostalgic of any vietnamese restaurant.

The service was alright. There was only one guy working the register, waiting tables, and being out the food and it was pretty busy. We grabbed our own menus from the center console table and he shortly came after to take orders.

The food was really good. We both got pho and the broth was more savory than sweet and the protein portions were more than plentiful. A nice change! You know its authentic when they have chili oil out. Spring rolls were hot and homemade. Too bad they only gave 2 lettuce pieces for 5 rolls. Nonetheless, they were still delicious without.

Definitely recommended!“

“Local Favorite. Excellent Customer Service and Delicious Food. Fast turn around. Owner ran / present. *completely different experience from Pho Hana on Hawthorne (Torrance) All staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommend. My pho craving was satisfied without having to drive all the way out to Gardena / Westminster.“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Good food good helpings recommend the orange chicken nice and tasty you get plenty of white rice also careful when you order by size when you order large you get a bit much but not complaining at all. Give this place a try it's not roomy so best to take it to go or have it delivered for a more comfortable eat.“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“In town for a conference and stopped in for some pho. Absolutely delicious and a friendly staff. Highly recommend.“

“We brought twins there to Have lunch. They were very accommodating and provided high chairs, children bowls, utensils and covered water cups with straws“

“My sister and I were craving an afternoon coffee. We had their ice coffee with milk. It was one of the best tasting coffees I've had. The atmosphere was chill. The establishment was clean and beautifully decorated. What I do want to remark on is the staff. A young lady by the name of Jenny surprised us by offering us a sample of a spring roll with peanut sauce. The gesture was so touching and sincere that my sister and I have planned to come back the next chance we get. By the way the spring roll was delicious and fresh.“

“Very tasty sandwiches!! Great Vietnamese flavor!!!!“

“One of the cashier's ripped offa borderline homeless person.“

“Even through storms does NT Noodles provide their delicious variety of dishes and noodles to us, where their passion can be tasted in their food, and their care in each dish set down by the cooks themselves. Their easygoing attitudes, clean and green atmosphere, and location provides a good stop for food during shopping!“

“This Vietnamese restaurant right across from our workshop has truly become our favorite lunch spot. My team and I eat here almost every day, and it’s honestly one of the best and most reliable places to grab a meal in the area. When you work long hours like we do, having a great restaurant nearby makes a huge difference, and this place never disappoints.

The food is always fresh, hot, and full of authentic flavor. Their pho is absolutely amazing — a huge bowl with rich, aromatic broth, tender meat, and plenty of noodles. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. We’ve also tried the spring rolls, fried rice, vermicelli bowls, grilled chicken, beef, and different noodle dishes, and everything has been consistently delicious and well-prepared.

The portion sizes are very generous. Seriously, the plates are BIG. Sometimes one order is enough for two people. You definitely get more than what you pay for, which is rare these days. The prices are very affordable, especially considering the quality and quantity of food.

The staff is always friendly, polite, and welcoming. Service is fast, which is perfect for our busy work schedule. The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and comfortable, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy a proper meal.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone nearby. If you want tasty, filling, and reasonably priced Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely keep coming back again and again!“

“Fantastic food. We had the DineLA menu and a great introduction to their food. Awesome service. Love the interior. Will be back again“

“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! We've ordered a couple times from Postmates and we have never been disappointed. I love the spicy lemongrass chicken and my husband loves the pork belly and the shaken beef. The shrimp and pork egg rolls are unlike any egg roll over ever had and so delicious. And don't get me started on the sparkling limeade. This place is such a gem. We'll be ordering from them forver.

Dietary restrictions: We have a peanut allergy and they are always careful to not include any nuts“

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“I always enjoy having an extra large no 1 which is a large bowl but with extra everything by a half portion more of extra and there egg rolls are good not too dry or oily and the spam rolls are good enough not to have soy sauce with them and there not dry but just right there pho is traditional and extremely good enough not needed to add anything extra sauce to it if you do only add a little bit but I come here every once every week so and the parking in good just only one handicapped spot but all the spaces or most of them are near the door. You will enjoy having pho here as much as I do and they can modify each dish to how you like it as well.“

“A hidden gem!

I ate here yesterday with my girlfriend and we got the beef noddle soup, fried fish, frog legs, and fish amok. It was all delicious! It was our first time having Cambodian food and it did not disappoint.

I'm usually picky about the asian food I like. Most asian places here in America really aren't that good but I really liked this place. I definitely recommend!“

“Ordered the vegetable pho — portions are generous and prices are reasonable, but the broth itself was a bit bland and the vegetables a little undercooked. Overall they had a lot of options on the menu — the meat phos seem to be more popular.“

“Food was amazing. One of the best vietnamese restaurants that I love to visit. Highly recommended.“

“I was so hungry and stopped by this place to have some lunch. The place looks simple but the quality of food is just amazing! I didn’t expect that a regular Pho chicken soup would be that good and delicious! OMG, it was sooo yummy! The personal of this place is very kind and friendly, I felt truly at home here)“

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“Very nice restaurant, very close to beautiful Redondo Beach. Such a cute decorations with great Asian fusion food“

“Amazing vegan menu. 💕 definitely worth a visit. Will stop in next time we are in town.“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“My first time here because I just so happened to be in the area. I had the brisket & tendon phó. It was delicious. It had so much tendon and I loved it. Great flavor and freshness. I read some of the reviews that were negative. My experience was nothing but positive. I like to eat at mom and pop restaurants. The service was polite and attentive. Give this establishment a try. I think you’ll find it a tasty and positive experience.“

“3 proteins PHO.. bone broth yummy 😋. Thai tea fresh. All was made to order. Meats are so fresh that I could swear they came right off the cow. The outdoor seating area I totally recommend for a nice relaxing lunch dinner time the fire is lit“

“We’ve always come to this place, we just live around the area. The food is good, the service is good💁‍♀️💜👍“

“Ordered through DoorDash. This chicken pho was exactly what I needed when I wasn't feeling well. The addition of the bean sprouts, Thai basil and lime was perfect. The only thing I didn’t care for was the chicken because it was incredibly dry. The brisket was better than the chicken.“

“Not the biggest fan of how they charge for all the extra sides you’d typically get for free when ordering pho at any other restaurant, but still enjoyed my meal. They serve large bowls, although it’s a bit extra broth for its contents. The beef rolls are a yummy appetizer and the brisket is tasty. Service is fine, they do automatically add 18% minimum service charge to small parties and more for larger parties.“
