50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Los Alamitos

“Been here twice for a takeout, once for garlic noodles and once for the vermicelli. Both were delicious.
The chicken I had with garlic noodles was well-seasoned and not too salty, and wasn't dry. The pork I had with the vermicelli was also well-seasoned. The garlic noodles came with thinly sliced, sauteed beans of some kind and had a nice crispy texture. The vermicelli came with sliced almonds, lettuce, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and cucumber and were fresh.
It's a relatively small shop, so a large party of 6+ should probably do a takeout.“

“This is our go to Pho place, my 10 year old son asks for it weekly. This is a family owned business, we come around 1pm and service is great, food is delicious!! Highly recommend!! We haven’t found another a pho spot like this one ?? we usually get the beef pho, chicken pho and add vegetables. I love the beef pho with zucchini noodles ?!“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

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

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Definitely some of the very best pho Long Beach has to offer (several sizes available for most the small or regular seems to be sufficient. They do have L & XL sizes available for the truly very hungry guests).

The broth is neither too salty nor too sweet- spiced perfectly not at all cloying as some can be.

Fried bread is a great accompaniment. Don’t miss out on the fried egg rolls which are fantastic too.“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“I've been to many Pho restaurants and this one stands out because, they offer unlimited noodles for free!!! They have different types of noodles but the traditional noodles you typically get with Pho, you can ask for an unlimited amount. Just the noodles so no proteins but how cool is that? One portion was good enough for me, but I saw plenty of other customers asking for extra noodles. What a way to stand out. What adds to the appeal is that the food was good. I ordered the Pho Tai with meatballs and the food tasted clean wasn't greasy or heavy. The service was good and brisk as most Asian restaurants are. The prices were reasonable as well and would definitely come back.“

“I was craving banh xeo this morning but the rest of my family was asleep so I went solo to Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 2. When I first entered I thought it was interesting that they had pitchers of tea on every table. Then when I got my banh cuon and they didn’t give me any nuoc mam I realized the pitcher must be nuoc mam. Yes, I probably ordered too much but their name sake includes banh cuon so I figured I just had to have it and my banh xeo that originally brought me out here. Yummy place. They also tolerated my terribly accented Vietnamese ordering :-)“

“Very delicious! Costumer service is A1! Good customer service 🥴“

“This became my go-to pho spot after Pho Holic got franchised and turned into the McDonald’s of pho :( The pho here is solid, but the price? Not so much. We’re now paying about $21 for a bowl after tax and tip. At this rate, prices seem to jump 20% every year—‘phoflation’. Please I only get ~5% raise every year.“

“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.“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Food is highly quality. Everything is made to order the owners are very nice and caring. I absolutely loved the pho here extremely tasty. Spring rolls, on the other hand, lacked a bit. There were ok, but other places have better spring rolls, but I do recommend trying out this location“

“What can you ask for more than a legit Pho with very amazing spicy paste? This place probably is the best Pho around town. Their Shaken Beef with fried rice paper is amazing. Would love to see them brining back the Pan Fried Egg noodles with seafood. Please keep up the good work.“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“Quick service and delicious, fresh egg rolls! Probably the best egg rolls I’ve ever had! They were flavorful, crispy, definitely tasted fresh and not frozen. Highly recommend! Best part is they sell by small pieces so you can literally just buy 3 if you just want a small bite.“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

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

“Went down there from Sacramento visiting relatives. Google search and found this restaurant near the hotel I'm staying. I was very pleased with their services. Pho was amazingly delicious. The beef was tender and delicious highly recommend“

“Tay Binh has quickly become my favorite Vietnamese food spot! Their grilled meats are absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. But the real star of the show is their crispy roasted pork—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. The skin is perfectly crisp, and the meat is tender and juicy. If you’re looking for authentic and mouth-watering Vietnamese cuisine, Tay Binh is the place to go!“

“My wife and I heard from a friend about the pho at Saigon District, and we have been addicted ever since. The richness and burst of flavor from the broth is unmatched! We also highly recommend the Banh Mi entree. We are working our way through the entire menu and will report back. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

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

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“I had the chicken pho with beef broth. The soup itself had good flavor, but the chicken was very tough—it had been cut with the grain instead of against it. It was so difficult to chew that I only managed to eat about 20% of it. Isn't slicing against the grain basic cooking technique for chicken?

However it was good we found a late night option. It was packed when we went there around 9:30p!“

“Our new go to place. You walk in and immediately know this place is authentic. A little slice of Vietnam. Family-owned, grandpa was the one who served us our soups with a smile and also gave us some great tips on the best way to eat the Pho (black and red sauce on the side for dipping). Everyone who walked in seemed like family to the owners. Very good atmosphere.“

“Bánh mì chảo và bò lúc lắc với garlic noodle rất ngon, giá vừa phải 👍🏻“

“Friendly service. We arrived shortly before closing so many options were sold out. We tried the vegetarian eggrolls and the chicken eggrolls and both were delicious. They came out hot and perfectly crispy. The sweet chili sauce is also tasty and a perfect addition. You order in the back of the building and there is only one table for outdoor seating so plan to get your food to go. Wonderful little spot for a quick, hot and satisfying bite.“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“First time trying this place. Pork chop, fried chicken and egg roll were good and not unusual. The egg was different and very good. The bitter melon soup was really different, but I like bitter melon. Now, unless you know what bitter melon tastes like, I wouldn't recommend it for you.“

“This place seriously delivered. We ordered the shrimp pho, beef vermicelli, a shrimp and veggie dish with rice, taro milk tea with jelly, fried egg rolls, and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was fantastic. The shrimp spring rolls were a bit on the smaller side, but still super fresh and tasty.

Customer service was warm and welcoming, and I really appreciated that they had gluten-free soy sauce for us gluten-free baddies 🙌

The space itself is tight. Tables are small and close together, but it added a kind of street-side charm. Felt like I got a mini taste of what dining in Vietnam might be like. Cozy, vibrant, and all about the food.

The only thing I didn’t love was the bathroom situation since you have to walk around the back to get to it. The location is also right next to a laundromat, so it’s not the most glamorous setting. But honestly, once the food hit the table, I didn’t care.

Would absolutely go back.“

“Since I returned from a trip to central Vietnam 4 years ago I’ve been chasing down a bowl of authentic cao lau. Living in San Francisco and Portland I can hardly get my hands on cao lau, so little Saigon has been a destination for me. This was my first and only required stop when I finally visited the area and it did not disappoint! The Cao Lao noodles were perfectly square and chewy, the broth herby and flavorful. The pea greens were also delicious. The lovely man who works and runs this with his wife was so friendly. I’ll be back!“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“Delicious food , great service, highly recommended. If you want a good food , No MSG , go to Pho B. They’re start a vegan menu soon .“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“Bueno“

“I just tried this place for the first time and I'm glad I did and I'll definitely be going back. The food is fantastic, nice atmosphere, and extremely friendly staff. If you're looking for Vietnamese food this is the place to go. The prices are good also.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very friendly, a nice clean restaurant.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“The noodle soup dish at the Chinese restaurant is truly delicious! The cleanliness of the restaurant along with the delicious taste of the food must have brought a wonderful culinary experience. The rich dipping sauce combined with fragrant fried garlic adds to the appeal of the noodle dish. Hope you will have more opportunities to enjoy this dish at the restaurant. Bon Appétit!“

“Small minority Asian owned business serving banh mi and coffees.
Right across Cypress community college.
Very friendly gentleman takes your order and very helpfully offers to bring it out to your car.
I get the house special banh mi : cold cuts, liver pate, crunchy daikon and radish plus jalapeno peppers. Very excellent bread holds it all together.
I always leave with a complementary tea and fruit or other sweet dessert.
No indoor dining.“

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.“

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

“It is a family owned restaurant serving yummy Vietnamese dishes that are vegan. We love this place. We tried almost everything and each is delicious. The service is a friendly mom and pop restaurant service. They are really accommodating what you need.“
