24 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Mission Viejo

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

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

“The is was our second trip to NEP and was as good as the first! Both the shrimp salad app and the squid and mango salad were so well balanced and tasty. The garlic noodles and shaking beef were sooo good. Nothing was too spicy but really flavorful. The shaking beef was so good we ordered another one! The cocktail that night was a raspberry sour and too was perfectly prepared. For a casual restaurant, these guys really put out the effort. Oh, and the sticky rice/mango desert was the topper. Not too sweet and the mango was perfect! Will be back sooner than later. Well done NEP.“

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

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“I just ubered food from this place because it was the nearest pho near me thats open on Christmas day. Pho and vermicelli bowl were so full of noodles we couldn’t finish them. Their eggroll was crispy and juicy. Springroll was so fresh. Loved the Vietnamese coffee too. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“TLDR: Get the Brisket Pho!

I have been to the vast majority of pho restaurants in south OC, and Simply Pho is by far the best. Accessibility, the broth, the meat and noodles are all great.

Every time I come in, I order as I’m getting seated and I don’t even look at the menu:
The Brisket Pho is the best.
Also try the tofu spring rolls.“

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

“We ate at Pho So 1 in Lake Forest and ordered a few dishes, including brisket pho, BBQ spring rolls (#4), vermicelli bowl (#89), and #57. The total came to about $72, which felt a bit pricey—but the food was tasty.

The BBQ rolls were our favorite,.

Dish #89 was light and refreshing. It’s perfect for a warm day for anyone who prefers clean flavors.

Dish # 57 was just okay.

Service was quick, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid spot for Vietnamese food if you don’t mind spending a bit more. We’ll definitely be back.“

“cozy atmosphere with lots of seating and kind staff! their bahn mi loaded fries and dried pho are must tries. their menu is very big so you have variety to choose from, and their fruit flavored iced green teas are also very delicious! got to check this out when you’re in the area“

“Quick and easy and good all in one“

“Everything was amazing. Best Viet food I've had in South OC. Beef baguette (bahn mi) was a great value. Flavorful, rich, and packed with veggies. Light, airy baguette. Aromatic gelato. Creamy brown sugar boba beverage. Clean restroom. Overall, would come back again.“

“First time at this location absolutely delicious food fresh and worth the wild one thing I didnt like is the service once ordered they rush all the food to you at once didnt even give us time to finish appetizers or anything by the time we got all of our food the table was stuffed they could have slowed down just a little give us like 5 minutes in between that's my only complaint other then that all good highly recommend“

“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.“

“Pho Ha Noi earns 4* from me. If I lived in Garden Grove, it might be a 3* rating relative to the other pho places that abound in that Little Saigon, but for South County, it is a solid 4* relative to the others around. When I take my father, who lives in LWV out for pho, this is his favorite one. I usually get Rare Steak & Tendon pho or a Broken Rice dish with shredded pork and charbroiled pork. Both are always more than acceptable, but the one thing I miss is the fried egg on top of the rice, that my favorite Vietnamese place in San Diego does“

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

“My fiancé and I ate at Pesto a few weeks ago and it was really a nice experience. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly and it tasted very good. One thing that could be frustrating for some is that the patio area is a little snug, and would be great any other time, but could deter some during COVID. I would definitely love to eat there again!“

“This place has delicious Vietnamese Fusian foods. Nice environment and excellent customer service 👍👍 My first time here and I had a good experience. The staff was super nice and courteous ⭐️ I would definitely come back again with my friends and family. Highly recommended for everyone 😊“

“4.5/5 - My partner came here with friends and said it was really good, except for the rice. Naturally, I had to try it myself. We arrived around 4:30 a.m., and they had a happy hour dinner special, which was quite affordable. The portions were a decent size!
I ordered the Sichuan beef, which came with your choice of white or brown rice, along with hot and sour or egg drop soup. My partner went for the shrimp chow mein. Definitely ask for the wontons, hot sauce, hot mustard, and chili oil - adding these to the soup makes it sooo good.
We also shared a family-sized salt and pepper calamari, which was huge. I will say, the rice was a bit of a letdown =( more like Uncle Ben’s than authentic. However, our server was super fast, friendly, and checked in on us throughout. They also have a patio, so they’re very pet-friendly! Overall, a good spot if you’re looking for good happy hour deals!“

“Everything was great! The service was friendly and very tentative! All the dishes we tried were great there wasn’t a bad dish we ordered the garlic chicken wings, golden bao, Anthony Bourdain pho and the combo pho can’t wait to try other Kei Concept restaurants“
