50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Monterey Park

“Food: a great banh mi spot in town. I thought their crispy pork banh mi was ok, but their grilled pork banh mi was flavorful and tasty.

Service: friendly cashiers and courteous.

Atmosphere: a small shop, simple and clean.“

“The food is very good here, and the service is great. When I lived in Monterey Park, I went there many times. I came back from San Diego, and the food is still very good. I like crab udon (bánh canh cua) the most because it's much better than any Vietnamese restaurants I've tried. Highly recommended.“

“The only bun bo hue I'll get outside of little Saigon!
Typically I go get Vietnamese food in little Saigon since I'm from there and no other Viet food compares for the price.
However, this particular Saturday evening it would've been more of a drive, so I decided to try this spot! Price was pretty reasonable, portions were huge and from the first sip of my broth, I could tell it was delicious.
Also bonus point for the owners children who were running around and kept my baby entertained while she was eating so my husband and I could actually eat!“

“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 place is open from morning until 4 PM. The soondubu (soft tofu stew) is freshly made every day, so it’s always very fresh. They also offer soy milk made from ground soybeans, available in both sweetened and unsweetened versions. However, it takes quite a long time after ordering for the food to arrive. The service is average.“

“This spot is my favored. I eat in many restaurants but to this restaurant I constantly return again and again. The team is very cordial and the cooking they offer is so appetizing. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner here. Highly recommended.“

“Food was good pho broth was tasty. You get to choose the type of noodles for your pho, so that nice. We also ordered the Hainan chicken. The rice was really good flavorful not to dry not to wet just right. The chicken was good I bit dry but good so was the sauce.“

“Stopped in for an iced coffee and, to my surprise, found a cockroach chilling in the cup. Honestly? I feel lucky — I spotted it halfway through the cup. Imagine all the empty calories I saved by throwing away the rest of the drink. Now I get another reason to go out and buy a new coffee from a different restaurant. The service is so fast at BMC even the cockroaches can’t get out of the way fast enough.“

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

“If you’re looking for great pho, this Vietnamese restaurant absolutely delivers. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, with deep flavor that tastes like it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were fresh, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Everything came out hot and beautifully prepared, with fresh herbs that really completed the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. This is easily one of the best places around for a satisfying bowl of pho, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

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

“1st time trying Pho Waffle and Grill. It's a small place but as usual small places have the greatest of foods. I ordered the Salmon Bowl and also the Beef Pho to go. You can also pre-order or just drive on thru their drive thru. Will definitely come back again! Broth was perfect and so was the salmon. Oh and got cheese ragon as well.

If it's raining and you want some warm pho. This is the spot for you. Close to South Gate, Lynwood, Bell Gardens, Downey and Paramount. It has drive thru and a small mom and pop restaurant that should definitely be supported for the great food. Had Beef Pho and Shrimp Pho, with Creamy ragoons and Veggie Egg rolls topped off with Tai Tea. Yum!!! #TheSpot“

“Can't believe I've slept on this restaurant for years.

The food does the talking here.

1. Steamed Rice Cakes with Taro 4/5
2. Spring Rolls with Chicken 5/5, an herbaceous dish, served with a subtly spicy fish sauce
3. Shaking lamb cubes 5/5, great with the Italian red
4. Weaving rice noodle with fish 5/5, the fried shallots pop in this dish
5. Clay pot rice with fish 10/5 - just get this

The remodeled interior is very welcoming, modern, and has interesting art and motorbikes from Vietnam. Classical music in background (chef's kiss).

Also great that the place serves demi-bottles of reasonably priced wine. Beer's great too.

Our server exuded hospitality, very attentive, and proud to tell us about the chef/restaurateur.

Thanks for having us. We'll be back!“

“Small little place with only a small bench to eat outside. I usually just get a. Sandwich and a coke and eat it in the parking lot, sitting on the wall in a sunny spot-And I have a great time.

I call this a win. I have the same thing every time. I know I should try something new. Next time maybe“

“Being from Australia visiting los angeles I've read the reviews about this place And thought I would give it a go and guess what they were right best Pork Ba Mi I ever had the gentleman on the door was very accommodating and friendly would go here again anytime without a doubt also very reasonably priced 😉“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Went there for breakfast around 10am and it was nice and empty. Food came out fast and tasted good. Came with a lot of basil and cilantro. They have an extensive menu. Only downside is the parking directly behind the restaurant is limited to 5-6 spots. If it’s full you have to park in the parking garage“

“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.“

“The banh xeo is top notch here. Both the shrimp and fish ones are great! It's so crispy and comes with lots of fresh veggies. Its even crispy and perfect when I get take out! A little pricey but it's a good portion. There is a $1 credit card fee so bring cash. I love this place so much, if only they opened for dinner!“

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

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

“I was always curious about sandwiches sold at pho restaurants, and this place was my first. I will say it was a fantastic sandwich. I enjoyed every crispy bite with all the veggies in the sandwich followed by the rich savory fat taste of the pork belly. The service was pretty good too, I chose a table that was “dirty”, unintentionally, and the server cleaned it before I could mention it and bought me ice cold water as if he knew I was thirsty. Everything about this little hidden spot, on the second floor of the mall, was great.“

“Fresh and good nice people“

“Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam.

Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items.

Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better.

Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on.“

“Found this hidden pho spot in Pico Rivera and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a small restaurant but very clean with a fresh, modern vibe and trendy music. Everything looks new, which made the experience even better.

The server was attentive at the start, though he didn’t come back to check if we needed additional refills. The dumplings were on the smaller side and a bit pricey, but they were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. The pho itself was hot, delicious, and very satisfying.

Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. This place is worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“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“

“The food was amazing, very hot and a lot of food for the price. I was not able to finish the house special but it was just as good the next day. The veggies were very fresh and the noodles and meat were great. The broth itself was amazing!
The Thai tea and beef rolls were fantastic, I had to order another Thai tea to go because I couldn’t get enough!
The flavor of the food was great and it is definitely one of my new favorite spots for pho. Will and have recommended to anyone looking for a good authentic pho spot!“

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

“It's a one man band, so it took awhile for us to get our food. You will need patience. But when it comes out, it was so worth it! Next time I'd try calling and order ahead, or order a takeout. There's a lot next door that has zero marking, but you can park there.“

“I came back yesterday to enjoy their delicious foods. The owner is always kind and friendly with all customers and the staffs. When you pay, must fill in your phone number to get bonus point, they have free duck or soup depent how many points you have. I wish his business is always busy and wish all the staff all the best things on new year.“

“I absolutely love this spot for Vietnamese food. Every dish I've tried has been consistently flavorful, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. My standout favorites include the fried egg rolls, the Banh Mi Bo Kho, and the Bo Luc Lac--each prepared with impressive attention to detail and authentic taste.

There's still so much on the menu I'm excited to explore, so I'll certainly be returning to Pho Hai. An honorable mention goes to their Spring rolls, Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Thai Tea, both of which are wonderfully bold, rich, and balanced.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, Pho Hai is a must-visit.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“the food is always very flavorful“

“I was seated as soon as I walked thru the door. As soon as I looked up from my menu, someone came to take my order. I went to the bathroom, sat down and my food arrived within 5 minutes of me parking my car. These guys are always so fast and the food is always delicious.“

“The tumeric fish noodle is one of my favorite dishes in Los Angeles. The flavor combinations are perfect, it is so well cooked and just feels like true comfort food. I order it whenever I’m needing a little love. Thank you Viet Noodle Bar.“

“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.“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in SGV. I’ve lived here for 25 years, and this place has been my go-to for a long time. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the restaurant is super clean. I always get the dry vermicelli — the lemongrass beef is packed with flavor, and the shrimp rolls are crispy and so good. They’ve got a nice variety of beers too, which makes it a fun spot to hang out with friends. The owners are always around, super friendly, and you can tell they really care about keeping the place in great shape.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

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

“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.“
