44 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Hawthorne

“I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !“

“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!“

“Love their food! Such a hidden gem of Gardena. I have their food at least once a week (especially after a hectic week)

I haven’t try their phở but I recommend try their bun bo hue, my quang, banh mi, and duck noodle haha“

“There was a short queue but well worth the wait. The Banh Xeo (pancake) was fantastic - crispy egg crepe, flavourful pork, prawns and bean shoots inside, served with fresh lettuce, mint, picked carrots and dipping sauce. The tangy and savoury combination was beautifully balanced.

Service was very friendly and helpful. Seats were allocated on a first come, first serve basis so I was initially given a table for 4 and later asked to move to a more suitably sized table, which was more logical. Portions are generous here. I waddled out with food coma and a good intention of returning.“

“My brother and I went to Pho Hoan Pasteur with high expectations as they had high ratings on Yelp.
He ordered the regular sized steak and tendon pho. He found one piece of tendon in the entire bowl, so he was disappointed. The taste of the pho broth was just OK... not the best, nor the worst he's ever had.
I had the grilled shrimp bun and it came with two egg rolls. I was disappointed as rice noodles were all broken. It felt as though the bowl was filled with the rice noodle scraps at the bottom of the bag. The fish sauce wasn't remarkable either. I added lime juice and samba.
We tried it. We probably won't return.“

“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! 🍲“

“My bf and I stopped by after a long flight and seeing good reviews. The spring rolls were so good to me. The pho broth was so soothing and delicious. My bf got the broken rice with sliced pork and he said it was good. The ube coffee looked too yummy to drink, and it was also yummy!“

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

“Being from Australia visiting los angeles I've read the reviews about this place And thought I would give it a go and guess what they were right best Pork Ba Mi I ever had the gentleman on the door was very accommodating and friendly would go here again anytime without a doubt also very reasonably priced 😉“

“Everytime I been here its been amazing and the employees are the best. Unfortunately had to move out. But miss this place the most. My husband and kids enjoyed our time in Pho Consomme. I really recommend here to eat. The spring rolls are yummy. Really recommended. Have a nice day everyone.“

“Good, rich pho, friendly staff. Delicious sandwich, but the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. With the door open, flies were flying around the room, and some landed on the cheesecake several times. There's also a sign on the wall that every menu item is a dollar more expensive. I think they could have simply changed the prices for that kind of money.“

“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“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“We absolutely love this restaurant! It's one of our all-time favorite places to eat, and a spot our whole family enjoys coming back to again and again. The service is always top-notch—everyone is so kind, welcoming, and friendly. This will forever be one of our go-to places! ❤️“

“the pho soups were awesome 😀🤗🤗🤗“

“As a solo diner I visited this branch of the family owned business and sat at the counter top seating area since all the tables were taken. Popular place guys! I ordered “large rib eye pho” bowl was very very generous and took a persistent slog at finishing the bold portion! Shame the beef was well done and firming up rather than rare as it stated on the menu. Broth was well seasoned and complex and rather tasty. Ingredients like the Thai basil and bean sprouts were fresh and crispy. My iced Vietnamese coffee was strong but welcomed! Staff were working well under pressure will definitely come back and try other things dishes. I’m happy I came across this restaurant.“

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

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

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“I tried KTOWN PHO for the first time and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Wagyu House Pho and it was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and came with a generous portion of meat. I paired it with a Thai tea, which was perfectly refreshing and balanced the meal so well. Service was quick, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“The place was very decent, well organized and decorated. The atmosphere is pretty quiet and perfect for talking or hang out. Pricing was a bit too much for my taste but the food makes it up for it. Food was great, the wait wasn't long around 3-5 minutes. It's got a good station for toppings, especially good for the Pho I ordered. My sister and mom definitely agreed it was a great experience. I would come back if I have the time again! Plus there's good restrooms, a tray return to put back after you're done, and good sitting areas. If you're a fan of a quiet, warm, and well cleaned place, this place is for you! The staff were wonderful, they gave us advice for our order and explained well. I definitely recommend!“

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

“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… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

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

“One of my favorite Plant-based restaurants. Love the Pho..love the shrimp .love the octpus...love the teas..everything here is amazing.“

“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“This is probably my 3rd or 4th time here. The service is great: friendly and fast. The food is good. Haven't had a problem with parking and on this last visit the portion was MUCH BETTER than I remembered. I got a lot more meat and noodles!“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

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

“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“

“đã có tại VN từ năm 1960 tại số 494 minh mạng (ngã sáu chợ lớn) phở truyền thống gia đinh“

“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)“

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

“Ordered: Pho Combination, Bahn MI Charbroiled Pork, and Thai Iced Tea
Price: $17.90 + $11.90 + $4.49
Ordered for pickup twice now through their website, same order and it was very easy, with an included timer. If they aren't busy, food was ready under 15 minutes, but when they are, it took about 45 minutes for the pick up.
Broth was refreshing, meat was tender, noodles were chewy and plentiful. Thai Tea was also refreshing. Ate the ban mi later in the day, and it was still delicious, with the fun flavors of the smokey sweet pork and the spicy jalapeños. Overall, found my go-to pho place here in the Culver area“

“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.“

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

“I just had the best experience eating here. I was recommend this place because I love Pho and my fiance loves ramen. This place delivered exceedingly delicious plates for the both of us! We loved both so much and we know that this is out new spot. The most memorable experience was the kindness of the staff. I felt welcomed like I was being treated at a family members home and I was constantly attended to despite the restaurant being busy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and this is my new favorite spot!“

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