10 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Monterey Park

“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.“

“We had esten hete before and it was sok good. So we came bsck and it never disappoint. I ordered their btoken rice with egg meatloaf, pork chop., pork skin, with shrimp tofu- it was the best! It came with souo on the side. My hubby ordered the crispy egg noodle snd we lije it. Price is very reasonable, service is super fast and staff are very friendly. The staff came back multiple times to check with us with his charming smile, you can't beat that. I love this place. Check this out“

“Absolutely the smallest place you can imagine. 90% kitchen for the owner (?) to work in. A tiny bench, no ventilation inside. No indoor/outdoor dining...

But this place is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!!!
Great sushi!!!
Excellent price, due to little overhead costs!!!
Get your food and enjoy it wherever you want, probably not inside though.
The slices of salmon are excellent!!! Fat and thick!!!
Eel is excellent!!!

It is recommended you order ahead, he is a solo team and is hard at work in the kitchen!!!

The only thing I wished for is some kind of chicken bowl. He already has the rice, he just needs to toss some chicken into a pan...but I understand he specializes in sushi and doesn't want added complexity to his operation.

I highly recommend this place!!!“

“I saw a IG reel about this place, so a few friends and I flew down to LA for a day trip to try this place out and of course to explore LA! The bun bo hue here was amazing! My friend even commented on how they could see the bottom of my bowl and asked if I need to order another! 😆

Their BBH isn't very spicy, but they give you chili oil in a little to-go cup. The extra chili oil really gave it an extra kick that it needed! There was also a ton of meat in the bowl also. It was a little disappointing that the pig knuckle was really thinly sliced. I was able to finish the knuckle in two bites. The two pieces of blood jelly had a nice bounce to it.

I'm not totally sure if there is a parking lot because I just parked on the street out front of the store.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve tried pho in many neighborhoods and restaurants, but BMC Pho truly stands out. Pho #1 here is on another level — rich, flavorful broth, tender meat, and super fresh herbs, all perfectly balanced. The quality is always consistent, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh every time. This is the kind of taste that keeps you coming back. I absolutely love it. BMC Pho is, without a doubt, the best pho I’ve had. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates real flavor and quality.“
