19 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Laguna Niguel

“Enjoyed a family lunch here. I ordered takeout since our kids were asleep in the car, but they woke up while we waited for it to be cooked so we asked to dine in instead. They were very friendly and accommodating to the switch, didn’t mind our kids at all. The ambiance was clean and quiet (not overly busy or crowded) with Kdrama love songs playing. Staff was attentive and friendly. The drinks were a very good value! Large sizes. We had the matcha latte and the peach lemonade and they were both super tasty. Two adults and 3 young kids shared the shrimp fried rice, one beef banh mi and one pork banh mi. We brought half of one sandwich home for leftovers so the serving sizes were generous. Macarons made a fun special treat at the end of the meal. Everything was very fresh and hit the spot.“

“Quick and easy and good all in one“

“Stopped in here for a quick lunch and had orange chicken, black pepper beef and some various dim sum items. Everything was good, the chive dumplings were HUGE and so flavorful we went back two days later to order more. Staff were very friendly, service was quick and the outdoor patio was nice.“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Absolutely dee- lish! Would definitely go again.“

“This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in South OC. Everything about it is very traditional, the menu and food would be just the same in Vietnam. Got the Pho Tai and Oxtail Pho. Oxtail was nicely braised, the Pho Tai beef a bit overdone. Broth was good. Get the large for $1 more, the portions are huge.

To some previous posters that reflected on the higher prices, or humble furniture, welcome to South OC, the rent is too damn high.“

“Simply Pho is very good! Their Pho broth was flavorful, . We had both the beef broth and the chicken broths. The Vietnamese spring rolls have vermicelli and lettuce wrapped in rice paper, served with homemade sauce—so fresh and addictive. We had the chicken wraps. They also served us a free desert which was like a tapioca style pudding but really sweet!“

“The spring rolls are definitely worth it. Very, very large and easily worth the price. The meatball pho was lacking. While the broth and ingredients were fresh and tasted good, slicing up just one meatball for it is a cheapskate move. You should be quartering at least 3 meatballs for it to make it worthwhile. Before you ask, yes I know those are beef tendon meatballs and I know where to get them and how much they cost.“

“Ordering is a little confusing. There is a monitor that allows you the option of dine in or carryout. But then you need to go to front to pay before they make the order.

Food was ok. Yellow rice was a little dry, and the chicken thigh was tough and dry. Egg rolls were very good. People were very nice. Probably should have gotten the pho.“

“honestly its one of the best spots in town and i keep coming back like alot, service is quick even when its packed which is every time im here. the broth has that deep richness you cant find everywhere, definately tastes like they put in the work not just tossing a bouillon cube in water. i've probably been like 20 times easily and I still order the same thing because why fix what isnt broken. only thing that bugs me is the parking situation, tommorrow when you come be prepared to hunt for a spot or park way out.

but the noodles and the meat portions are always on point so thats what matters in the end. like I said four stars because I love it but that parking lot stress keeps it from being perfect for me“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“the food was delish 😋 it was our first time and we will definitely be back“

“The food is so delicious and flavorful. The place is beautiful, the portion and quality is worth your budget. Me and my husband was satisfied for what we order. Excellent job Pho Tam Cali. We will definitely come back.“

“Had the beef Chow Fun noodles.... excellent! I've had the Pho there to very good.“

“A fantastic first children's cooking session for the holidays Everything was very thought out, plenty of ingredients and delicious results! The chef was friendly and gave clear instructions and encouragement to the children. The children had the chance to learn the process and also be exposed to different ingredients. Bring on adult sessions too I say! It worked really well at 3pm, clearly a lull in diners so it was really quiet and I think the customers in actually enjoyed listening and watching- it didn't seem to disturb them. To help only feed back I would give is a need for some napkins on the table and to encourage participants to wash their hands before as I didn't feel we had time to go and do that before instructions began. Host was really friendly and welcoming.“
