50 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 !“

“The food is very flavorful and of excellent quality. The owner and server is a very friendly and warm person as well. You can tell that this is a family owned establishment but I think that adds charm. Another customer who didn’t speak english very well came in while we were eating and the owner took his time and used what little spanish he knew to help the customer to his best ability. You can tell that he goes the extra mile to make his customers happy! Would definitely come again ❤️“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“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!“

“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… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Such a great spot, and a deserving alternative to Ktown Pho, where I had been going. The pho is delicious (we had the brisket and the oxtail, which comes shredded from the bone and gives you so much more meet than usual). There is a parking lot ($3 valet), no wait time, plenty of seating, and a very friendly staff. New favorite pho in LA, THANK YOU!“

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

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

“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!“

“I can’t remember how many times with being at pho fever…
The food here is really good and it doesn’t taste artificial at all. the service here 100 out of 100 no doubt!
There are plenty of unique dishes over here, for example fried banana that I really liked and wonton pho is probably what I order the most. The spring rolls with the SAUCE, please try that whenever you want to eat healthy, light yet fulfilling!
They do vegetarian versions too!
You’ll love it here!“

“Love the shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. My daughter loves the pho and my husband likes his grilled pork and rice. We were able to dine in at 11pm. Glad we were able to make it, esp after arriving from a transatlantic flight. Thank you for the good food.

Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair and kiddie utensils that came with a scissor.“

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

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

“the pho soups were awesome 😀🤗🤗🤗“

“I am glad because there are not many places around here that serve good Pho.
The soup is light but very tasty with just the right amount of salt.

It took about 15 minutes to be served.

No alcoholic beverages are sold.

Will visit again.“

“Hidden gem in LA. Great customer service even at late night. Good taste! Good spicy level for spicy crispy chicken. Greta taste on pho soup. Price is on a bit high level for the quantity. Total $72 plus tips for 4 dishes.
We will visit this place again when we visit LA.“

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

“I love this place, the food is very delicious, good quality and I think the prices are fair. There is free parking in front and behind the restaurant. Very friendly employees make you feel welcome. I recommend this place and of course I would return for its food, I hope very soon.

Parking: There is always parking in this place“

“A random tiktok video brought me to this place, and boy, am I glad it did! I had the Rare Steak and Crunch Brisket Pho, and it was the best I've ever had. The size of the bowl is absolutely perfect. I left feeling full and very satisfied. The service was fast for a relatively full lunchtime. I am definitely coming back!“

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

“Super good and quick service full house and service was top tier. We were seated immediately and those waiting were served in under 10 minutes. I would wait any day really good pho !! Ordered pho combo a small is very filling also ordered the appetizer trio super crunchy and fresh“

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

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

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

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

“Best PHO in town order done to go“

“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.“

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

“beef Pho is excellent. chow fun us also very good“

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

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“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.“

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

“My experience at Spire 73 was far from impressive. While the view was stunning, the overall service and quality left much to be desired. The evening started off on a disappointing note as it was quite cold, and though they provided blankets, it was still uncomfortable. My fiancé and I ordered appetizers, but they took an unreasonably long time to arrive. In the meantime, our drinks felt watered down, lacking both flavor and strength. To make matters worse, our burgers were nearly served before our appetizers, indicating a clear lack of coordination in the kitchen. When the staff realized their mistake, they held the burgers under a heat lamp, which only compromised their quality. By the time we finally received them, they were lukewarm and lacked freshness. The final frustration came when the bill arrived. For a party of two, an automatic 18% gratuity was added—something I find completely unreasonable given the level of service provided. It felt like an undeserved charge rather than a token of appreciation for good service. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and I left feeling that the atmosphere and view were the only redeeming qualities. With subpar food, slow service, and unjustified charges, I wouldn't recommend Spire 73 to anyone expecting a high-quality dining experience.“

“Tastes great! Excellent service and very clean restaurant.“

“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.“
