50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Lawndale

“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! 🍲“

“I made a trip to this spot after seeing the great reviews, and overall was ok. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, and the service was pleasant.

We ordered the ribs combo pho and the brisket and meatball pho — both bowls had a solid, flavorful broth that hit the spot. The ribs wasnt that amazing. The egg rolls were crispy and well-seasoned. Thai tea was also great.

My main gripe is the meat portions felt a little skimpy for the price — I expected a bit more generosity in the bowl. At around $60 for two people, it’s on the pricier side for pho, which did temper the experience slightly.

That said, the quality is clearly there. If the portions were bigger or the price a touch lower, this would be an easy five stars. Worth a visit, but go in with calibrated expectations on value.“

“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“

“I love this pho spot! The ambience is great. The customer service is speedy and you are immediately given a warm welcome as you step in. The food is also really good (although I’ve only ever ordered number 4, the steak and brisket pho 👌🏽). I did try a bit of the shrimp pho when my mom ordered it, and it was good, but I’m more into beef than seafood, so that’s just personal preference. Definitely check it out. This was where I tried pho for the first time and it hits the spot every time.“

“Food is delicious. Pho is really tasty I always get the Filet Mignon with crispy eggrolls. Service is amazing-always making sure you have enough water, food, and extra noodles if you run out!👌 Definitely a great spot to bring friends or family :D“

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

“Amazing food and fresh-made Vietnamese coffee. We got chicken pho, a bbq pork plate (they kindly let me swap the noodles for rice) beef bahn mi (best ever) and eggrolls. It was all so tasty and fresh.
Welcoming and attentive host/server/cashier. She even ran out to take our picture when she saw my boyfriend taking mine outside their sign 🤗 The atmosphere was modest and all that you want, because it means their focus is the food and service!“

“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!“

“Pho Hue Oi is a straight up hidden gem in Torrance and I am OBSESSED. Family owned, incredibly warm, and the service is next level — the kind where you feel like you’re eating at someone’s house and they actually want you there.

The food? Let me get into it. Their Lomo Saltado hits different because they put a Vietnamese spin on it and somehow it works even better than the original. Bold, saucy, wok-fired perfection.

Now. Mom’s rice cake dish — I cannot pronounce it but I CAN tell you exactly what’s in it: shrimp, crunchy pork rinds, finished with fish sauce and Thai chilies. It sounds simple. It is NOT simple. It is layered, funky, crispy, savory and I was not prepared for how good it was. That dish alone earns all five stars.

No alcohol here but their Thai tea is genuinely elite. Thick, creamy, cold — does the job beautifully.

If you haven’t been to Pho Hue Oi yet, what are you even doing? Go. Bring people. Order everything.“

“The Banh Mi was ok. I would order a different item next time though. The Baguette was too dry for my taste and the overall sodium level of the meat and condiments exceeded my microbiome’s tolerance limit.
The service was excellent!
I like to support local entrepreneurial endeavors.“

“Update: I used to love and recommend this place but idk whats going on and its sad, the broth which is the main point is always 50/50 now. When its good its really good but when they miss sometimes its flavorless or super sweet as opposed to originally packed with flavor and all around balanced on bone flavor, spice herb packed, and sweet. Please follow old recipe or something. Still the pork spring rolls are a must have with the peanut sauce no matter what!“

“Underrated place. The PHO Broth is CLEAR.
its so light and good, loaded with cilantro and green onions. The broth is better than Saigon Dish. The old guy is forgetful but thats because he needs to be more busy. Simple Menu when you want PHO.“

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“Local Favorite. Excellent Customer Service and Delicious Food. Fast turn around. Owner ran / present. *completely different experience from Pho Hana on Hawthorne (Torrance) All staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommend. My pho craving was satisfied without having to drive all the way out to Gardena / Westminster.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

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

“My sister and I were craving an afternoon coffee. We had their ice coffee with milk. It was one of the best tasting coffees I've had. The atmosphere was chill. The establishment was clean and beautifully decorated. What I do want to remark on is the staff. A young lady by the name of Jenny surprised us by offering us a sample of a spring roll with peanut sauce. The gesture was so touching and sincere that my sister and I have planned to come back the next chance we get. By the way the spring roll was delicious and fresh.“

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

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Ooh, I love this place. LOVE. The first time my husband and I went here we ordered chicken pho and chicken fried rice. It was sooo good the following day I craved it and ordered again the same thing for to go 😆😍🥰🤤 2 or 3 days later my husband and I went back and ordered beef pho and spring rolls, but you just keep coming back for the pho! 🍜❤️“

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

“This place is amazing. The pho portions are huge, delicious, and affordable. The banh mi and spring roll appetizers are especially good. It’s a short walk away from the liveliness of downtown Culver. And the staff are all so friendly and kind! Highly recommend Phovorite for your next pho outing.“

“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… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“We always drive out to Grenada or deep Torrance for pho, but just discovered this place, a few minutes from home. It’s not settling for a closer place, it’s an upgrade. Super yummy pho, egg rolls were great too. Service is warm and friends. Has a nice local South Bay feel too. I’ll be back weekly.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the house pho at this establishment. We were visiting SM and were hoping to find a place serving pho for breakfast nearby. We were delighted to discover that this restaurant was open before 8 AM, which perfectly suited our needs. The staff who greeted and served us were exceptionally kind and polite. We truly appreciate supporting family-run small businesses, and if you share that sentiment, we believe you will find this to be an excellent choice.“

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

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

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

“Highly recommend the shaken beef with garlic noodles. DEE.LI.CIOUS!!!
Beef was tender and slightly caramelized, so the flavor is sealed in. The garlic noodles had just enough garlic and were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Definitely enough to share.
I tried the lychee green tea with lychee bits and it was so refreshing! Will definitely be back to try their gelato since I was too full this time to get any.“

“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.“

“If there’s one place known for Vietnamese coffee, it’s this one. That sweet, creamy, ice-cold brew will keep you wired longer than any energy drink. It’s strong, but in the best way. Don’t even bother asking for less ice because the drink is meant to be diluted. Without it, the coffee is way too concentrated (even their bottled version at Costco says to mix it with ice or water!).

As for the food, their banh mi are always solid. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Prices have crept up over the years, but that’s pretty much everywhere now. Still worth the visit.“

“THIS FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!“

“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.“

“I am so glad Tesla installed their chargers in the parking lot right in front of this restaurant. Every time I am in the area I charge my vehicle in the same time get something to eat two things one place.. This plaza has a huge parking lot, which is also easy to park even if you’re not charging your vehicle. food is decent services also friendly.“

“We love this place.

One of the things that stand out this time (apart from the food of course) we went was a very cool playlist that was playing on the restaurant. My gf was kind of dancing to the music.

I ordered the pho with rare meat, I took a picture of it so that you can check it out for yourself. You pretty much throw the meat inside the hot pho and it will cook right there. Very good plate if you ask me.

My gf ordered the Pad Thai, which she is really a fan of it. She is always looking for Pad Thais all around LA, but she said this one in particular was very tasty. She recommends it to ALL.

Very clean place, parking could be a little tricky because is on Washington Blvd so it could get a little difficult to find a place to park, but not impossible.

I recommend this place to everyone!

Service was amazing too.“

“I ordered the garlic noddle with beef and it was delicious, and my partner got one of their bowls and enjoyed their food too. We ordered take out both times, but I was back for more a week later. The portion sizes are big, I made 2 meals from my noddles and it tasted even better day two. I have not ate inside the restaurant but it looks clean, bright, and even offers outdoor dining. It is shared with another restaurant that serves açaís bowls, I believe, which only opens up the variety of food you can get.“

“Ordered DD, Im pleased with every order we have had. Rice teriyaki plate, 2 combination meat plate, and the spring rolls. They were amazing delish and sure filled us all with one for each family member. The lemonade perfectly made. Im very happy about the quality and quantity of my orders. Thank you so much for your GREAT service and EXCELLENT well prepared meals.“

“We ordered chicken pho and egg rolls on DoorDash. We weren’t expecting to love it so much! Every place we get chicken pho from, inevitably the chicken is dry, but not Bamboo Song! The broth was amazing and the chicken was the best I’ve ever had in pho. If it was that good for a delivery order, I can only assume that it’s even better in restaurant. I’ll definitely be frequenting this place again!“

“We stopped by for a quick coffee and a banmi sandwich and were blown away by the quality and taste. The Vietnamese coffees are incredible and the sandwich was better than I remember on my visit to Hanoi. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere inside quite nice and now I know why this place is always packed! Want to come back for the noodle soup which look amazing.“

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“Love eating here! Friendly service and delicious food! They have lots of options .“

“This was my first time getting food from this restaurant. Got #17 Pho rate steak & tripe to go, so while I was waiting for it I had a great conversation with one of the wait staff. The soup was really delicious! The large was big enough for 2 meals! Reasonable prices, too! I highly recommend this restaurant.
******Updat: went here with 4 friends for dinner. Everything was amazing, except NO A/C! Omg, it was so hot!“

“Cute little place and staff was very nice. My chicken pho was good but lacked the consummé depth of a traditional pho --- chicken bouillon isnt it, fam. Noodles were good and Salad Rolls were okay... Good option but ive definitely had better, especially in Southern California.“

“Friendly, great customer service. Food is delicious 😋“
