50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Los Angeles

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“We did not dine in so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service, but the banh mi sandwiches? Perfection. The pork was well marinated and super tender, there was a good tang from the pickled carrot and daikon, the baguette is crusty yet soft, and the cucumber/cilantro/jalapeno was fresh and crunchy. We ate the sandwiches in silence which always means the food is good. This is a long-winded review just to say - Get the banh mi. 👌🏻“

“A quaint spot tucked away in Chinatown. We got the mi xao don, banh cuon, and pho dac biet and all were delicious. The skin on the banh cuon was different but not in a bad way, the filling was well flavored. The pho was on point but the star of the show was the mi xao don - the noodles were crispy, the veggies fresh, and they were generous with the sauce (and the flavor was perfect). I was also incredibly impressed with the service. I didn’t catch the server’s name but he was very cheery and attentive. A great experience overall.“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“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… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“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.“

“Bae and I had a music industry function in the hills behind this stretch of street. I saw this place was newish and had amazing reviews. The spot is a little hard to find which is OK but unusual for this relatively dowdy stretch of neighborhood where the raining cuisine is still, in 2024, red sauce italian(!) I love going to the Capri with friends during the holiday season but this was a wednesday night in July.

It was literally empty when we walked in and it made Bae nervous but I'd read the reviews so I reassured her. Like the name indicates it's a Vietnamese restaurant that serves food tapas style. So Bae loved it, I'm not a huge fan of tapas period, not even in the basque country or Spain, but this is still a great restaurant and deserves support! I would go back for sure if I was back here in the area, maybe before a vidiots movie.

“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.“

“Blossom never disappoints for delicious, fresh Vietnamese food in the heart of China Town. Everything we've ordered has been yummy. Service is also excellent and professional. We make a point to eat here whenever we make it to downtown LA. The atmosphere is really laid back and chill. Love this place.“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“es deliciosa la sopa y todo y los empleados muy hamables y lo mejor que hablan español. 👌“

“Viet Noodle Bar in Glendale is more than just a restaurant; it’s a staple, an institution, a place that has quietly but consistently delivered some of the best Vietnamese food in the area for years. It’s not about flash or trends—just solid, comforting bowls of noodles, fragrant broths, and fresh ingredients that keep locals coming back.

The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, the kind of place where regulars nod at each other over steaming bowls of phở or turmeric-laced bánh mì chao. Service is straightforward and efficient, with no unnecessary frills—just good food brought out quickly and done right. The menu is focused but refined, emphasizing quality over quantity. Their signature dishes, particularly the noodle soups and rice bowls, showcase a balance of flavors that feel both traditional and refreshingly light.

Despite Glendale’s ever-evolving dining scene, Viet Noodle Bar has held its own, serving as a dependable go-to for those who want a satisfying meal without the fuss. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need hype—it just exists, quietly excelling, and that’s what makes it essential.“

“Great food and good vibes!“

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

“Extremely nice workers and the food was amazing. Spring rolls, summer rolls, and pho tai were all outstanding.“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“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.

“We started with spring rolls (the crispy rolls were highly recommended) and won tons. Entrées were crab noodle and sweet and sour duck, but they brought us a katsu-type chicken with rice, let us keep the mistake, and we had coffee crème brûlée for desert. The fried food was tasty, but a little heavy, good portion size and wonderful flavor (for the prices). Only drank water, but every part of the menu was well attended, not to mention the house and service, and although our area of the room was a little dark, it was good ambience.“

“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.“

“Cool place for boba drinks. They make them promptly and the price is clearly posted. $5 for a Thai tea with boba includes taxes. We ordered six drinks and received them promptly. There is a sitting area to enjoy your drinks too.
A cup of Thai tea with boba and ice tastes great on a hot day.
They only accept cash.“

“Excellent! Excellent location, pleasant atmosphere. The lunch arrived promptly and was great, and the service was kind. I'm pleased I booked a reservation because it was a rainy Sunday night and the place was largely full. There appear to be a few public lots close by that are reasonably priced.“

“The food was good. The only downside was that I only got one bag. "Condiments: bean sprouts, jalapeño, lime, basil, sriracha pocket, hoisin sauce." I had to quickly go to my nearest grocery store to buy them. Honestly, I don't know if the driver forgot them or the restaurant forgot to send them“

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

“Unique family atmosphere with exceptionally good but simple fare. If Mama-san thinks you need fattening up you won't get out of there without some extra food. It's odd, but endearing that the TV and a rock radio station always seem to be going at the same time. :)“

“Sister's cafe is a lovely place, where one can reliably get good food, no matter when you come. We've been going there for years now and have never been disappointed.

Staff is super friendly and the best of all, it's actually still affordable compared to the majority of places around LA.

They close a bit early, so I recommend to make sure to arrive no later than 8 pm. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! Can't go wrong.

This is a perfect place to enjoy dinner out during the work week and not go broke while doing it.

One of my favorites is the curry hot pot with chicken!!

I highly recommend this place“

“I love pho. This pho is good. Also, for no reason they have amazing rice dishes and freshly made banh mi - way to go K5!

One time I walked in and witnessed a woman whose only objective in life was to sing one song for Pho enthusiasts. Nobody stopped her. She finished and just walked away. This staff is dedicated to serving you food, nothing will deter them from this goal.“

“Fresh and good nice people“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“This place comes highly recommended by many, and I can see why. The owner does ask if you want drinks, and if you decline, you might notice a bit of attitude 😅. It’s a little off-putting, but thankfully the food is pretty good, so it’s not a total miss.

The overall flavor leans quite sweet, so if you’re used to more savory or salty dishes, keep that in mind.
• The beef pho has a sweeter broth, more like Southeast Asian style 🐄🍜.
• The Pad Thai is also on the sweet side, with noodles that are a bit sticky but tasty 🍤🍋.

Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, so it’s great value for money. If you enjoy the sweeter balance typical of Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, you’ll probably enjoy this spot!“

“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!“

“This was one of if not the best bowl of pho I’ve ever had in all of America

I added tendon to my pho and it was some of the nicest cleanest pieces of tendon I’ve ever had in pho

And the ox tail was INSANE

100% worth the price“

“🙏🏆🥂 reasonable price, excellent food and good service.“

“A Hidden Gem for Vietnamese Comfort Food!

I had an incredible dining experience at this Vietnamese restaurant. The standout dish was their beef stew pho, which was absolutely unforgettable. The broth was rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting—unlike any pho I’ve had before. It had a unique blend of spices that gave it a slightly sweet, aromatic depth, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. What made it even better? It came with a warm, soft baguette on the side—perfect for dipping into the broth. So simple, but such a game changer.

I also tried their vermicelli special, and it did not disappoint. It came beautifully arranged with grilled meats, fresh herbs, and crispy spring rolls—all bursting with flavor and texture. Every bite was balanced and satisfying.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors with a creative twist, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“Best PHO in town order done to go“

“the pho soups were awesome 😀🤗🤗🤗“

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

“Good food. Good service! Clean place.“

“Good Pho in Los Feliz.

Pretty solid spot, portions were large especially the pho bowls and the various meat they used for the pho dac biet was flavorful. Broth did feel slightly watered down but with a little sriracha, it fixed it right up.

Cha Gia (fried eggrolls) were pretty decent as well. Definitely not enough lettuce to wrap each one and they were pretty small…usually you get about 4 per order at every other vietnamese spot but this one only gave 3.

But overall, very enjoyable, would definitely go back if I was in the area.“

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

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

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

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

“We were on our way to hop woo when we walked by the amazing patio here with lots of shaded seats. Very glad we stopped! Counter ordering with plastic 3D models of the food that's more common in Japanese restaurants here. We were pleasantly surprised to have our food delivered to us on ceramic plates with full silverware outside, unlike some of the nearby restaurants.

Honey walnut shrimp was amazing! Crisp, perfectly cooked and saucy with huge chunks of walnut. The beef loklak was tender. Lunch specials are reasonably priced.

Service was... Well, it's classic Chinatown. Efficient! Paid parking lot right next outdoor seating.

Parking: Enter on college

Wheelchair accessibility: Entirely on first floor, wheelchair accessible“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 5 years and I absolutely love the yellow chicken curry. It's actually the only thing I've ever gotten and I've gotten it over 60 times. I just tried the pad Thai chicken noodles last night for the first time and although it tasted really great, I noticed my heart was racing a little bit after I ate it which only happens when I consume MSG. I seem to be the only one in my family that is sensitive to MSG, but I definitely feel it. There's been many studies about how MSG is not very healthy for most people so I'm leaving this comment in hopes that pad Thai on Beverly follows what many other restaurants are doing and removes MSG as an ingredient in certain dishes. Luckily, they do not use MSG in the yellow chicken curry. Again, this is a really amazing restaurant.“

“We had chicken wontons, vegan pho and chicken pho. My husband fell in love with chicken wontons and that’s why we visited phorage multiple times after our first visit. Both the vegan and the chicken pho were very flavorful. The staff was very kind and we had a great time at the weho location.“
