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.“

“Great bahn mi. BBQ pork is my favorite. I love the pickled veggies. Fresh baked bread. Don't usually go to this location. The service was friendly. It was a warm day and my friend & I both wanted coffee. The owner suggested iced coffee bc of the weather. We obliged and were not disappointed. If you need a coffee buzz, Vietnamese coffee is where it's at. It strong, but sweet and not bitter. It will kick you in the booty and get you going for sure.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

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

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I absolutely love, love, loooooove this family friendly jewel. Starting with the food first ?, there is an abundance of everything even if it's a plate order for one person. The broth is clean, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors do NOT stop with mmmmmm?. Your meal experience, will result in you leaving with a happy and full belly. I've even seen some family that brought children, with excitement for the food here and kids can be picky. The service is quick, communication is clear, and the restaurant team is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff, all work really hard together, to keep their customers consistently happy. They go above and beyond here, to make sure your experience is a full and comfortably wholesome one. The atmosphere is unforgettably clean like their pho broth?, there is more than enough space to keep to yourself or enjoy your company in your own bubble together with your meals. They also have outside seating, for those who prefer fresh air to themselves. I would NOT sleep on this place, if I were you. Plenty of parking, and walking distance to public transportation for those who are not personally mobile. I highly recommend this place, to anyone looking for tasty and clean pho options.“

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

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“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.“

“Friendly service. We arrived shortly before closing so many options were sold out. We tried the vegetarian eggrolls and the chicken eggrolls and both were delicious. They came out hot and perfectly crispy. The sweet chili sauce is also tasty and a perfect addition. You order in the back of the building and there is only one table for outdoor seating so plan to get your food to go. Wonderful little spot for a quick, hot and satisfying bite.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Bueno“

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

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Step in to central Vietnam with this restaurant. The food in this restaurant transported me back to HOI AN. The decors are cute and the restaurant is clean. The food is delicious and the price is fair. We really love their MI QUANG DAC BIET , and their bun bo hue (BBH), both were flavorful and hit the spot. Their banh beo is hoi an style, so that’s exactly what you get when you order it, I love the crispy pork skin in it. The fish sauce was perfect complement to it. The bun thit nuong was good, but I would have preferred the meat to have a more charred and grilled taste to it. Overall, I love this place and would come back. Also if you love corn milk, you should try theirs.“
