Vietnamese Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens

“First time to visit this restaurant and I was impressed that everything I ordered taste really good. Food Servings was great too well enough to share with your friend!! I love that they open late and the restaurant was clean as well as the restroom.“

“They obviously take a lot of pride in their business here. Immaculately clean and well organized dining area. Upbeat, fun music on a very nice sound system. The sandwich I ordered was delicious and huge for the price! Can't believe how reasonable the prices are. Perfect, hot baguette, and good-quality ingredients. This place is the same price as major sub chains but with way higher quality food. Found my new favorite sandwich shop in the area.

Parking: Huge free lot“

“Great food, helpful staff, and a pleasant interior make this one of my favorite places in the city. I came here to celebrate my birthday today, brought friends from Garden Grove who were visiting, and went on a date that ended up being the last one. I was highly suggested it, and now I am telling people about it!“

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

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“For this hole in the wall, out of the way place, it had to be good, and it delivered! I got beef pho with a side of rice and the brown sugar boba. The broth was definitely the best part! Didn’t skimp on the flavors. And the brown sugar boba is really good

Parking: Very limited parking, bring a small car if you can“

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

“Definitely some of the very best pho Long Beach has to offer (several sizes available for most the small or regular seems to be sufficient. They do have L & XL sizes available for the truly very hungry guests).

The broth is neither too salty nor too sweet- spiced perfectly not at all cloying as some can be.

Fried bread is a great accompaniment. Don’t miss out on the fried egg rolls which are fantastic too.“

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

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“I came by with my boyfriend to check out this place after watching a movie, the food was great hit the spot and their Thai tea was bomb.com. I was so quick to stuffing my face that I forgot to take pictures! But overall a great experience and good atmosphere :)“

“I was craving banh xeo this morning but the rest of my family was asleep so I went solo to Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 2. When I first entered I thought it was interesting that they had pitchers of tea on every table. Then when I got my banh cuon and they didn’t give me any nuoc mam I realized the pitcher must be nuoc mam. Yes, I probably ordered too much but their name sake includes banh cuon so I figured I just had to have it and my banh xeo that originally brought me out here. Yummy place. They also tolerated my terribly accented Vietnamese ordering :-)“

“Very delicious! Costumer service is A1! Good customer service 🥴“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“They weren’t kidding about the size. I ordered the large pho tai + oxtail and was able to finish it without exploding. The oxtail was so juicy and soft. The pho itself, well if you’re not ravenous, the regular is more than enough. The soup was flavorful but the noodles could be a little more Al dente. Overall, great meal and experience. Will be coming back again.“

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

“Food is highly quality. Everything is made to order the owners are very nice and caring. I absolutely loved the pho here extremely tasty. Spring rolls, on the other hand, lacked a bit. There were ok, but other places have better spring rolls, but I do recommend trying out this location“

“What can you ask for more than a legit Pho with very amazing spicy paste? This place probably is the best Pho around town. Their Shaken Beef with fried rice paper is amazing. Would love to see them brining back the Pan Fried Egg noodles with seafood. Please keep up the good work.“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“We ordered the spring rolls and pho with beef and meatballs and both were excellent. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We ordered to-go and all components were packed separately including peanuts to add to the dipping sauce. We received excellent service when calling ahead to order and at the location.“

“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“

“Been here twice for a takeout, once for garlic noodles and once for the vermicelli. Both were delicious.
The chicken I had with garlic noodles was well-seasoned and not too salty, and wasn't dry. The pork I had with the vermicelli was also well-seasoned. The garlic noodles came with thinly sliced, sauteed beans of some kind and had a nice crispy texture. The vermicelli came with sliced almonds, lettuce, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and cucumber and were fresh.
It's a relatively small shop, so a large party of 6+ should probably do a takeout.“

“Very good place to eat outside. Especially during these harsh times for our country.“

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

“Went down there from Sacramento visiting relatives. Google search and found this restaurant near the hotel I'm staying. I was very pleased with their services. Pho was amazingly delicious. The beef was tender and delicious highly recommend“

“Tay Binh has quickly become my favorite Vietnamese food spot! Their grilled meats are absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. But the real star of the show is their crispy roasted pork—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. The skin is perfectly crisp, and the meat is tender and juicy. If you’re looking for authentic and mouth-watering Vietnamese cuisine, Tay Binh is the place to go!“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“The people who come here and give this place anything less than 5 stars are tripping. I've been coming here for a little while now and it is a gem, their egg rolls are some of, if not the best you will ever have in your life. They are very flavorful, fried perfect, not oily/greasy at all and very crispy.

There is a minimum order of 10 eggrolls, you can mix and match whatever kind they have available but the sum has to be 10. They take card but do not prefer it due to the high charges they receive as a small business, it really is best for them if you can pay in cash or even zelle them for your order. I've personally never waited more than 10 minutes, even for large last minute orders so I think their service is always fast and consistent.

My Gf and the owner both say that #1 is their favorite and the best one on the menu and they probably aren't wrong, its the most flavorful one on the menu in my opinion too. But my favorite is #7, it's filled with a ton of shrimp and really good seafood flavor. If you want even more shrimp, I would order #9, it's basically a shrimp egg roll with a whole shrimp added to one end, also extremely good. My family really enjoys #3 + #4 which are good for just about anyone. Every single one on the menu is good though so I recommend you give them all a try eventually. Sauce is a large container of sweet garlic chili sauce for only $1.50, it's really good but I prefer making my own fish sauce at home.

I've seen a recent video urging people to order ahead online and that is usually the best idea but lately the lady I've spoken to says that they are simply too overwhelmed with orders because of the holidays to even answer the phone most of the time. If you're having a party or get-together where you want to order several dozen, I would call early morning or even the day/night before to secure your order. If you're going to order less than like 50, I would highly recommend being there before 1pm because they will likely have already sold out of a lot of them after that time. You can still get some after 1pm to close forsure but they will probably only have one type for the rest of the day and a limited amount. For example, I went yesterday at 4pm just an hour before they closed and I was able to order 40 but only of the #1 or #6, it took them about 4 minutes to give me my order.

Most of the bad reviews I see for this place is due to their customer service and I think those people were simply mistaken or confused about something. I have personally only ever seen 2 mature ladies working here that speak some english. Thats it. They answer the phone, prepare the egg rolls, take orders, make the food and drinks, and its just them... They are some of the sweetest and most polite hardworking little old ladies I've ever met, they are not mean like some people say, they are stern and loud at best but I feel like that can be expected and it doesn't mean they have bad intentions.

If you're like me and you live far away and interested in driving all the way out here just to give it a try, I would honestly recommend it. Just make sure you head out early and get here before lunch, try a small order of a couple of different kinds and once you see how good they are, you can walk back up to the window and ask to order a couple dozen more of the ones you liked the most and take them home with you. They reheat very well, I usually microwave a plate of 5-10 at a time for about 30 seconds until they're just barely warm and air fry or bake at a high temp for just under 5 minutes to bring back the crunch, tastes as good as fresh.“

“The Vietnamese beef rice noodles are large in portion and taste good. I even finished the soup. The boss is very patient and has a good service attitude. I am not very fluent in English when ordering. The boss keeps saying sorry to me. I am also sorry for my poor English. I will come again. I wish the boss a prosperous business.“

“Our new go to place. You walk in and immediately know this place is authentic. A little slice of Vietnam. Family-owned, grandpa was the one who served us our soups with a smile and also gave us some great tips on the best way to eat the Pho (black and red sauce on the side for dipping). Everyone who walked in seemed like family to the owners. Very good atmosphere.“

“Bánh mì chảo và bò lúc lắc với garlic noodle rất ngon, giá vừa phải 👍🏻“

“I usually get 100 frozen egg rolls for a family member when I visit them out of town and it's the shrimp and crab eggrolls. They love it here.
I recently ordered freshly fried chicken egg rolls for a picnic and the guests enjoyed them. Some are allergic to seafood and some don't eat pork so I was glad they had chicken egg rolls and they are equally tasty as the shrimp ones.“

“Saturday 12/7:24 Lunch at 99999 Restaurant - Phở Út Nô in Garden Grove. I’m trying out their BBH, served in a metal bowl to retain the heat. The soup base was really good, not overpowering with a nice portion of meats and reasonably priced. There are many menu items that I will be returning to try out.

The restaurant has a nice decor and a big screen TV and several TV around the restaurant to watch sports games.

Mike, service staff, was polite and attentive to customers.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.

“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!“

“First time trying this place. Pork chop, fried chicken and egg roll were good and not unusual. The egg was different and very good. The bitter melon soup was really different, but I like bitter melon. Now, unless you know what bitter melon tastes like, I wouldn't recommend it for you.“

“First visit. I had pork spring rolls with peanut sauce and chicken pho. The spring rolls exceeded my expectations. They were bigger and stuffed with noodles and ample tasty pork. The pho was lovely. Full of meat and veggies, and the broth perfect. Surprisingly affordable too. I will return to try more of the menu“

“Bueno“

“Awesome authentic Vietnamese dishes and excellent customer. Everyone had a wonderful attitude and had great recommendations for the meal. Definitely going back soon.“

“I love this place the pho was fantastic yummy and more. I will definitely return and I recommend to my friends and family…“

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

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“Great services and delicious food!“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“First time here, and Hoang Gia's owner Tang is the nicest and most friendly host!
Customer service is top notch, which will have me come back...

We tried the Crunchy Egg Rolls, which was made fresh, hot, and crispy!
The Nem Nuong Roll was delicious!
We were lucky to try a free sample of his Wonton as they sold out of it.
The Green Thai Tea was refreshing as well! My kids can't wait to come back to eat everything again!

Next time, I will try the Banh Canh Noodle Soup, I saw someone ordered it and the seafood were all individually packed for freshness!

Their cakes looked delicious as well!“

“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.“

“I will say.... for simple, straight to the point banh khot.... this place was good. The batter was good, and I liked the ratio of batter to topping. It was not too thick of a banh part. BUT - I will say I've had better banh khots that are a bit heartier and Maybe made with more attention, meaning ones that have the other Toppings on it. I was so surprised when the Shrimp one came out and it was basically just batter and shrimp. So basic. It was good!!! But basic is all. And it matched what we paid for it. So I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that be aware that it's that type of banh khot and not like others in more upscale restaurants. It's 5 stars based on the style of banh khot this place is known for. Service was ok. They were busy. There was a wait. I'd say it matched the ambiance and price point.“
