50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Montebello

“Love love love, It was my first time going and I ordered the Brisket Pho, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Sesame Balls, And Vietnamese Iced Coffee (My favorite 10 out of 10 alone) was amazing. It was a 10 out of 10 for me can't wait to try their other options. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤“

“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.“

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

“I had this place saved as a place I wanted to try for wayyyy too long! I’m mad I didn’t come sooner. The food was unique, filling, and delicious. The ambiance is top notch.the drink selection hit the spot. The service was so warm. Check this place out. I will be back soon.“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“I saw the review from Lan Hoàng, and I have to speak up—because I was there that day, having lunch with my mom. And frankly, her version of the story is completely misleading.

She made a scene over the rice paper—complaining that 8 pieces for $2 was “too expensive” and demanding 12 pieces for $3. The prices were clearly printed on the menu. Then she loudly announced she could buy rice paper cheaper at the supermarket and bring it in herself. Seriously? That’s not how restaurants work.

Her voice was so loud that everyone nearby could hear her ranting, ruining the dining experience for others. The manager, to his credit, remained calm, professional, and stood his ground. He told her—rightfully so—that the price is $2 for 8 pieces, no exceptions.

Then she goes online and has the nerve to say the manager “lacks manners”? That’s laughable. If anyone was disrespectful, it was her. She should take a long, hard look in the mirror before she dares to judge someone else.

If I were the manager, I wouldn’t serve her again. Period. People like that come in with entitlement, create drama over one dollar, and then try to trash hardworking staff online when they don’t get their way. It’s not okay.

I will say this—the Bánh xèo was absolutely delicious. And that’s the only thing she got right.“

“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.“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“It's easily the best Banh Mi joint in all of SoCal. This place tops them all. The attention to detail is superb. They come individually packaged in a box, sauce, and veggies on the side to keep the sandwich crisp. Bread made in house, probably, based on the way the bread has irregular edges and the overall quality. Bread is soft and light in the middle and extra crispy on the outside. The best sandwich here is the Roasted Pork. Listen, there's the usual dry roasted pork you get from those roasted duck houses, and then there's this. All you foodies know what im talking about. This roast is simply done right. It's crispy and light skin around soft juicy meat and fat. No hard glass shards breaking off a over done wet roasted pork belly here. It's roasted to perfection. You know it's cooked at a perfect 165 to retain the juices. The chef really really knows what he/she is doing. Don't expect all meat and no fat. It's not a bourgeois place. And dont expect a 12 dollar rip off. It's not that either. It's a wholesome mom and pop join that service fair priced $7.50 specialty sandwiches that you can't even compare to quality in Vietnam's best joint. Come here with confidence, it's simply the best Banh Mi in all of Southern California. I'm willing to bet the best for its price in all of the US and Vietnam combined. Go try it and you will definitely agree. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.“

““The bomb.com” Pico Rivera has needed a good Pho restaurant for a long time now. I tried this place the other day for the first time and it was just right. Had a sore throat due to this shitty December weather and it was very delicious and soothing. Little pricey but the quality is worth the price.“

“No frills, just perfect bread and fillings. The baguette crackles, the pickled veggies are crisp, and the grilled pork is marinated with a little sweetness. I always add a pandan waffle to go—still warm, slightly chewy. Parking in the small lot can be hectic, but turnover is quick. It’s a reliable lunch that never disappoints“

“Best bánh mì sandwich I ever ate. I had the #8 charbroiled pork. So good!! Very highly recommend this place.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“I've been to lot of Phó and let me tell you. This restaurant is so delicious and delivered the best food and drinks especially the coconut signature. I come here for many years and never lost touch in rich Vietnamese flavor. Thank you always making me smile and tummy filled“

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.“

“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.“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“Closed to home 25 miles but better than go to Santa Ana 45 miles. Food taste 3.9 Cleanness 4 Atmosphere 3.9 Huge place, clean and perfect bathroom“

“15. Com Tam King Special is good but not so good as expectation when it looks like the best one which this restaurant recommended.

79. House special with beef combo is really nice. Highly recommend. We would come again because of this beef noodle. The soup and beef is delicious.

The service is good. People here are very friendly and serve efficiently.“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“the food is always very flavorful“

“Love their duck salad! I've never had duck cooked this way before and it's delicious. They have this awesome deal... if you buy the half duck salad, get a bowl of noodles with it free! But it's dine in only.
Been here 2x now and definitely would come back. I want to give food 4.5 stars only bc the Thai tea I had was barely sweet. Didn't love it.“

“Visiting a friend and he was under the weather and was craving Pho. He recommended Pho Hai in El Monte.

The broth is rich, flavorful and authentic. Portions are generous—perfect for a hearty meal. Walked away feeling much better. Family-owned and operated. Service was warm and attentive. Please support small business.“

“Good food,freshly served ,affordable and nice server“

“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.“

“Not sure why I haven't left a review for this spot yet l've been here a bunch of times already. They open pretty early, so it's a solid place to grab pho or other Vietnamese eats in the morning.
I usually go for the pho dac biet, but l've also tried the hu tieu and the banh mi xiu mai, which were both pretty decent. Lately, l've been especially into their pho the broth tastes lighter and cleaner (less oily), which I really like.
They also do a great job with their takeout game everything is packed well. Prices are reasonable too, which is probably why I keep coming back. Whenever I'm around El Monte these days, this is my go-to lunch spot.“

“Fresh and good nice people“

“I’ve been to this place many times and it always hits the spot. One of my favorite things to get here is the shaken beef (photo included). It’s very yummy and tastes like it’s made with lots of love which makes the meal taste even better! Service is amazing which makes this restaurant top tier.“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

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

“I’ve been coming here for whenever I want a quick, good Vietnamese sandwich. And they never disappoint.
I definitely recommend their meatball subs and their Saigon sandwich. Their croissant is big, fluffy and warm. Super yummy! Just anything in their menu, thank you very much super yummy.“

“This Vietnamese restaurant is amazing!!! I always go with my friends and we are always satisfied with the quality of our food. Phong always provides excellent customer service by checking up on me to see if I need anything like extra side dishes or beverage refills. I recommend the phở tái chín (beef brisket noodle soup, phở bò viên (meatball noodle soup), and gỏi cuốn (spring rolls). Saigon Eden is one of my favorite places to eat at.“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“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!“

“They have really good vegetarian banh mi’s! It’s a bit far from where I live but I’m so glad to have tried it! Will be back again!

Also their Vietnamese iced coffee is really strong and good. My husband gave it the seal of approval. Thank goodness for this shop!“

“Recently opened its door in the Temple City, Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is the new culinary destination for Vietnamese cuisine lovers. Having moved to Temple City, it stands proudly across from Summer Roll, inviting diners to embark on a gastronomic journey to Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

The restaurant’s specialty, Bun Bo Hue, is a testament to the authentic flavors of Huế. This Vietnamese beef noodle soup, known for its spicy and robust taste, is served in a generous portion brimming with succulent meat. The rich and aromatic broth leaves a lingering warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.

For those eager to explore the breadth of Huế’s culinary landscape, the Hue Combo is a must-try. This dish is a culinary mosaic, showcasing the region’s famous noodle-based delights. It’s an ideal choice for newcomers and connoisseurs alike, offering a sample platter of Huế’s pride.

While the Bun didn’t quite meet expectations, it holds promise. A tweak in noodle texture to achieve that coveted al dente bite, paired with a more traditional Vietnamese egg roll, could elevate this dish to new heights.

The Pho presents a soulful broth that sings with depth and clarity. However, the noodles yearn for a bit more finesse to match the soup’s excellence.

Service at Kim Hoa Hue is attentive and earnest, although a broader grasp of English would enhance the overall experience. For now, Google Translate bridges the communication gap, adding a touch of modernity to the dining experience.

The ambiance is as fresh as the flavors, with a bright and contemporary setting that promises growth and refinement. Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a slice of Huế’s regal cuisine with every dish. With a few culinary tweaks, this establishment is poised to become a cornerstone of the local food scene.“

“We enjoy hanging out. Yesterday we visited this excellent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful experience there with very good meal and a well-trained stuff and an impressive chief cook. We put this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will certainly go again very soon. We deeply recommend.“

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

“Different Vietnamese cuisine in the United States, sour soup with hot stir-fry, several bowls of rice, burgers, jellyfish salad (like chicken salad ?), pan-fried pomfret, Vietnamese pickles, salty crispy shrimp, and other dishes Five dishes and one soup, come and try it?“

“Beautiful and very clean place, food is super delicious, customer service is excellent 👍🏻👍🏻 My family and I definitely will come back soon. Yes, I highly recommend this place.“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“A random tiktok video brought me to this place, and boy, am I glad it did! I had the Rare Steak and Crunch Brisket Pho, and it was the best I've ever had. The size of the bowl is absolutely perfect. I left feeling full and very satisfied. The service was fast for a relatively full lunchtime. I am definitely coming back!“
