50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Lakewood

“Loved their seafood boils, coconut sauteed snails, crawfish fried rice, soft-shell crabs, fried vermicelli rolls & phở. Basically, just order everything 🤤😋😉“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that I can choose what size pho I want. Small was plenty, great price, a bit over $10 so I got a Vietnamese coffee as well! Being able to finish it all by myself and not wasting any made this my number 1 go to pho spot. Delicious too! Will be back for sure whenever the craving strikes!“

“This may be my new favorite pho in Huntington Beach. The broth is incredible and has a nice rich flavor. I ate half my bowl before taking a picture, but I got the 2 meet pho with double steak and it was a really nice portion. The house made chile sauce had a really nice flavor as well. I’m a bit of a wimp with spice so I only added a couple dashed into my bowl and it still has a kick but such good flavor. Definitely try this place out“

“Decided to pass by tomorrow and see how good the pho is because I know som great pho place is Alhambra. They had different item I wanted to try but my focus was on the pho. I order sat down , 5 mins later the food arrived. A good pho must have a good broth , it was ok ,I give it 3/5 the pho noodles was right on the money , but will say to a bit more noodles lol feel like it had a bit less or maybe I ate it fast and I didn't notice it 😂😂😂 the beef was nice and tender but also feel like it was a bit of beef 😂 who knows 😏 didn't taste that much spices on the broth. Or maybe this is how they make there pho broth. Overall 4/5 because I still enjoyed it ,the Thai tea was good also wasn't that sweet like other place they give you Thai tea and it felt like it was Thai tea leaf not that podwer Thai tea. I recommend you guys to come give it try , we all have different taste , you may like it or not , it all depends on you. I know I'm coming back to try their other items that good my attention 👀“

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

“Excellent Pho noodle soup near Knotts Berry Farm. Note: no more stir fried noodle on the menu. I ordered the beef noodle soup and beef tendon pho. Excellent variety of beef tripe, beef ball, tendon, and brisket. Friendly counter service for takeout and good portion size.“

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

“Delicious, fresh food with a smile! Bread is fresh, noodle dishes are so filling, and the pizza was decadent with cheese and a great crust. Korean corn dog ear perfectly fried with a little sweetness. Only 7 counter seats so we did take out. Will definitely return when I'm the neighborhood!“

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

“Solid bowl of pho that hits all the right notes. I ordered a bowl of noodles that came generously packed with meat, and it really stood out right away, no skimping here. The broth is the real highlight though: deeply flavorful, rich without being heavy, and clearly simmered with care.

Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portion size was more than satisfying. It’s the kind of pho you don’t need to doctor up much, just a squeeze of lime and a little chili, and it’s perfect.

Service was quick and straightforward, and the place has that easy, no frills vibe that lets the food do all the talking. Definitely a go-to spot in Cypress when you’re craving a comforting, well-made bowl of pho.“

“I arrived early in the day and was told that only the #1 and #9 were available. I’m not sure if the other items sell out before opening or if they simply rotate what’s being made, but it was a bit disappointing since I drove over an hour hoping to try more of the menu. That said, the #1 and #9 were absolutely delicious—full of flavor and well worth the trip. I just wish I had the chance to sample the rest of what they offer. UPDATE - 04/19/26 I went very early this morning and they said they only had #1 #8 & #9 available but have the whole menu outside. I asked politely do you ever not run out because im here early and you don't have your other egg rolls available again. She said we can Make them but its a 20min wait and a 20 count minimum order of them.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“I have been patiently waiting for this place to reopen tomorrow January 28, 2026. They deserved a break from all the hard dedicated work it takes to run a restaurant.
I am taking my daughter and adopted daughter there for their first time. I already know what I am ordering and can taste the goodness. .
The couple that own and operate this Bistro are very friendly makes you feel like family. . The food is always fresh and delicious.
Yum, I can almost taste it while i write this.“

“I came here with my friend and we accidentally ordered to go instead of dine-in, but the server brought us bowls with hot broth and was very nice! We ordered the wontons, brisket pho, and fried rice and everything was delicious :) Plenty of seating and friendly service.“

“Woke up hung over af and had cravings for some soup. Found this gem through a friend and I lucked out bc I was craving chicken pho, my favorite. Have to say it's my first time in this area (Wrigley Village) but it's nice to know there are still cozy corner stores serving up small specialized menu items. P.S Compliments to the chef for the wonderful bowl of goodness and s/o to my server Nick for being awesome! Definitely will be back to try their other items like their banh mi (that pho French dip sounds🔥🔥)“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“I ordered the signature beef bahn mi to go. First thing I noticed was how expensive it was. I was regretting my decision to come here. Then the food came out, and it was packed with meat and veggies. The bread was slightly toasted. The meat was juicy and flavorful. It's now one of my favorite bahn mi sandwiches I've ever had. It's pricey, but I'll still come back for it!“

“We come here every week. Today a server went outside and publicly accused me in front of my family and guests of not paying. This was absolutely embarrassing and offered a terrible apology for the incident as we did pay already. Great food but today was a terrible experience.“

“I absolutely love the vegetarian pho here! It’s packed with a wonderful variety of fresh vegetables and mushrooms, making it both flavorful and satisfying. The Pad Thai is also delicious and can be incredible when it’s on point, though I’ve noticed some occasional inconsistencies. That said, the flavors are consistently bold, fresh, and far superior to many other places I’ve tried.

The Pad See Ew was another standout. It’s perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. Overall, I’m a huge fan and a frequent customer. The food keeps me coming back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“This place is really good. We got the Bun bo hue, vermacelli hanoi, and broken rice plate. Prices are reasonable and the flavors are good. I liked the little char on their Viet meatballs. The portions are decent. The bun bo hue has really good flavor, not watery nor just salty. You can order right off the tablet for quick orders. This might be one of my new favorite places to go.“

“Great Vietnamise food. Food it really delicious and the owner is very nice.“

“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.“

“Always busy. Order before 9 but server kind enough to let us know in nice way. Grill, pho, rice all good. Lot is small and sometimes hard to park. Otherwise all good. Solid service. Clean restrooms. Haven’t been back for 8 years and glad it’s still here post pandemic.“

“Excellent service and the food is awesome. Highly recommend“

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

“Solid hidden gem in Stanton. Double Bamboo Restaurant delivers excellent value with surprisingly high quality food at prices that are hard to beat.

It’s a husband and wife run spot, and while they can come off a bit brusque, you can tell they work efficiently as a strong team and really know their kitchen.

The standout for me was the yum nuea salad, a Thai beef salad. Fresh, flavorful, and only $10, which is an incredible deal for the portion and quality. I’m already planning to come back to try more, especially the pho at just $7.25 for a regular bowl.

Great food, unbeatable prices, and no frills service that gets you exactly what you came for. Definitely worth repeat visits.“

“Good food good helpings recommend the orange chicken nice and tasty you get plenty of white rice also careful when you order by size when you order large you get a bit much but not complaining at all. Give this place a try it's not roomy so best to take it to go or have it delivered for a more comfortable eat.“

“I love stopping here when I am in a hurry between jobs. I can get rice with shrimp or some noodles or some spring rolls with dipping sauce already made fresh and delicious with a vietnamese coffee and be out the door faster than a drive thru would be. Delicious food. Service is aways quick and with a smile.“

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“

“A small catering, food to go shop, 3 small tables inside, 3 outside. Their banh canh cua, udon crab noodle, is fantastic in quality and quantity, probably the best in oc, $17 eat in, special $8 only to go on Friday, a great deal.

The crab udon has a lump of minced crab, 3 large shrimps, large slices of boiled pork. The broth is rich, tasty, delish, no fishy odor, no excess sugar, light, nice, clean, not greasy and gooey like those in other shops. I ate it to the last spoon, and I am a picky eater.

If taken home, the udon noodle should be recooked in the broth for about 5 minutes to soften up.

They have a menu of about 30 traditional Viet dishes, hopefully as good and healthy as their crab udon. Will definitely come back and try them out.“

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

“Always stop by here when I'm down visiting family. Its spacious, the services is always fantastic here. The food is delicious. Sure it's not exaggerating portions like I'm used to but the food ia good none the less. simple, delicious and flavorful.“

“Beautiful restaurant. Family owned. Owner pours his heart into the dining experience. Great for dates, family event or special occasions.“

“I always get the grilled beef cause no one has "GRILLED" beef pho that I've seen. it is really good. Only thing different this time is the meat was a tougher than it has been before. Hopefully, it is only this time cause it is usually tender.“

“Let me just start off by saying the service here it’s outstanding!! It was my first time trying ramen and the cashier was very friendly and helped me with choosing my first meal. The food was very tasty and fresh! I will definitely come back again!“

“I rarely give reviews but I gotta admit that this place is a hidden gem. Only togo foods and the owner is super niceeee even though I came to pick up my food after closing hours. The restaurant is also clean and hygienic. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered 2 different beef pho and an order of the pork and shrimp spring rolls. The meat and broth in the pho was so good and worth every penny. The tendon in my soup was so soft and yummy. The spring rolls were a bit of a disappointment as it was 90% garden salad mix straight out of the bag. 2 out of 3 of the spring rolls split open due to the over crowding of the salad. If the salad was tossed in a light sauce/vinegar, it would liven up the spring rolls so much.“

“There food was great go get yourself some noodles“

“Ma and Pa diner but the food is excellent!! Great prices and I have been to other places for Pho but this places has done of the best!!! Great portions as well!!! Not a fancy place but better food than other more expensive and fancier places!! Highly recommend it!!!“

“Great Sandwiches, wonderful service“

“The food at Pho Saigon was excellent and lived up to expectations. However, the atmosphere was somewhat loud and chaotic, which made the dining experience feel a bit rushed. Overall, great flavors but not ideal if you prefer a calm environment.“

“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.“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“Delicious vegetarian food at good prices. High backed private booths and great service.“

“Cách phục vụ Khách hàng, và được sự quan tâm của Cô Manager Ms. An nhiệt tình. Ba người Chúng tôi. Chắc chắn sẽ trở lại thưởng thức. Thank you again.“

“Delicious food, amazing teas. Can’t wait for the next visit. ✨“

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

“We have been coming to Blooming for about 8 years. We drive 65 miles one way just to eat their delicious food. Nothing, nowhere compares to them! We absolutely LOVE it here!“

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

“Absolute perfection.First visit, I willed through a disc hernia to eat here. I ordered the Combo Pho and some egg rolls and I swear it healed me. The large was only a few dollars more and was a challenge to finish all the meat. It actually was so good, I had left without my wallet but the waitress ran to catch me. It was much appreciated as her service during the meal was just as full of effort.Second visit, today is what made me write this review. I have been trying this combo (bun nuong cha gio?) All over OC and this was one of the most fresh and flavorful ones I had. I will most certainly come back as others cannot provide the flavor and quantity Pho Lam Son provides at their prices.“
