50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Newport Beach

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

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person’s turn. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be back, as the pho didn’t quite justify the price for me. That said, their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC.“

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.“

“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 was craving banh xeo this morning but the rest of my family was asleep so I went solo to Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 2. When I first entered I thought it was interesting that they had pitchers of tea on every table. Then when I got my banh cuon and they didn’t give me any nuoc mam I realized the pitcher must be nuoc mam. Yes, I probably ordered too much but their name sake includes banh cuon so I figured I just had to have it and my banh xeo that originally brought me out here. Yummy place. They also tolerated my terribly accented Vietnamese ordering :-)“

“Very delicious! Costumer service is A1! Good customer service 🥴“

“Great food. Very nice people“

“This became my go-to pho spot after Pho Holic got franchised and turned into the McDonald’s of pho :( The pho here is solid, but the price? Not so much. We’re now paying about $21 for a bowl after tax and tip. At this rate, prices seem to jump 20% every year—‘phoflation’. Please I only get ~5% raise every year.“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“Quick service and delicious, fresh egg rolls! Probably the best egg rolls I’ve ever had! They were flavorful, crispy, definitely tasted fresh and not frozen. Highly recommend! Best part is they sell by small pieces so you can literally just buy 3 if you just want a small bite.“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“very good food. a must if you are in the area“

“Good vegetarian pho, friendly staff.“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

“Friendly service. We arrived shortly before closing so many options were sold out. We tried the vegetarian eggrolls and the chicken eggrolls and both were delicious. They came out hot and perfectly crispy. The sweet chili sauce is also tasty and a perfect addition. You order in the back of the building and there is only one table for outdoor seating so plan to get your food to go. Wonderful little spot for a quick, hot and satisfying bite.“

“Excellent quality food. The filet mignon was perfect. Not fancy but very nice.“

“First time trying this place. Pork chop, fried chicken and egg roll were good and not unusual. The egg was different and very good. The bitter melon soup was really different, but I like bitter melon. Now, unless you know what bitter melon tastes like, I wouldn't recommend it for you.“

“New owner for about 1 year made major improvements for food and services in this small place with about 12 tables. It's nice, clean, bright, pleasant, smelling neutral.

We got in about noon a Sunday. Most tables were already taken. Half hour later about 10 people were waiting outside for seats. So they did something right and the place is popular.

We ordered a Bun Bo Hue Special with extra rare beef $14.95 and a Banh Canh Tom Cua central taste, $14.95, 2 hot teas $1 each.

BBH's broth is a rich, tasty bone stock, nice, clear with the tastiness of fermented shrimp paste without the odor, not too sugar sweet and not overspiced. There was barely a hint of lemon grass. a tub of satay is at the table to customize spiciness to taste. So far this is the most balanced and best BBH's broth I found in So Cal and No Cal.

There was generous meats, extra rare beef, shank, a few small bites of tendon, 2 cubes of blood curl, a large slice of pork butt, a chunk of pork ball and a chunk of short rib. No pork trotter was served, which is my preference. The meats were cooked to my preferred chewiness. I would skip the rare beef and short rib in next orders. I finished the soup and wish the bowl was bigger.

This is by far the closest to the best home-made BBH I had in central Vietnam. In comparison, for the same price, Ngu Binh serves a larger bowl by about 50% with more protein and tastier broth, but the broth is greasy and way over spiced.

Banh Canh Tom Cua has clear crab broth, fresh and tasty but a little too sweet for my taste.

The wait staff is courteous and efficient. They gave us a small cup of soy bean dessert, tasted good.

I wish the owner would add an option for a supersized bowl 50% larger. This place would be my second choice for BBH after Ngu Binh.“

“Delicious food , great service, highly recommended. If you want a good food , No MSG , go to Pho B. They’re start a vegan menu soon .“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“Went on NYE with a large party. Was a very impromptu decision, but called in advance to see what their hours were. They were super happy to have us and had our table ready immediately. Place isn't super big, so just be aware if you plan to come in with an 7 or 10 top. Price was super reasonable.

Kid-friendliness: They were super accommodating with 4 kids in our group, 3 of which were toddlers.“

“It is a family owned restaurant serving yummy Vietnamese dishes that are vegan. We love this place. We tried almost everything and each is delicious. The service is a friendly mom and pop restaurant service. They are really accommodating what you need.“

“The noodle soup dish at the Chinese restaurant is truly delicious! The cleanliness of the restaurant along with the delicious taste of the food must have brought a wonderful culinary experience. The rich dipping sauce combined with fragrant fried garlic adds to the appeal of the noodle dish. Hope you will have more opportunities to enjoy this dish at the restaurant. Bon Appétit!“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“I have been eating here since 2002 while still in high school. First time ever eating Pho here. These 3 Viet guys from my classes introduced me to Pho at this place. Been going here whenever I’m craving Pho or Viet food in the Irvine area. The most flavorful Pho broth out of any Viet restaurant I’ve ever ate in California.“

“This is the OG spot where the Vietnamese get their nuoc mia.

I come here every time I'm in OC.
I usually get the penny wort sugarcane (nuoc mia rau ma).
Bf orders the kumquat which is very flavorful.

Great price too! Their small sizes are $4-5.

Don't bother with cococane. This is where the locals go for their sugarcane.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, great service. 5 stars.“

“I normally don’t comment on food but we liked this place. First time there and food was excellent. My family and I really enjoyed sample platter which had so many variety of flavors. Really enjoyed that. The owner and service was cool too. We’ll be back!“

“Yummy duck and chicken meal! We got the duck with glass noodle, chicken with porridge, grilled crispy rice with chicken salad. Each dish comes with salad and flavorful!

Good portion too, our favorite is the duck with glass noodle, the duck is very soft and meaty. Soup base has a clear taste.“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“First time here, and Hoang Gia's owner Tang is the nicest and most friendly host!
Customer service is top notch, which will have me come back...

We tried the Crunchy Egg Rolls, which was made fresh, hot, and crispy!
The Nem Nuong Roll was delicious!
We were lucky to try a free sample of his Wonton as they sold out of it.
The Green Thai Tea was refreshing as well! My kids can't wait to come back to eat everything again!

Next time, I will try the Banh Canh Noodle Soup, I saw someone ordered it and the seafood were all individually packed for freshness!

Their cakes looked delicious as well!“

“Great services and delicious food!“

“Service was top notch -extremely nice and informative on menu. Food was ridiculous good I recommend the grapefruit salad with chicken“

“The place is pretty spacious with a nice, slightly fancy, and clean vibe. Lots of staff and good service. Prices aren’t too bad either. I can’t remember the name of this roll, but it was super tasty! If you come here, don’t miss it. It’s seriously good!“

“The pho Tai was surprisingly very good. Good portion of thin sliced beef and a good broth. Tucked away in a strip mall of Harbor blvd. Basic decor but clean and reasonable price not cheapest like some on other side of 405 but its good pho and that's all that matters.“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“I've visited this restaurant a few times, and I'm absolutely in love with their food. I've tried Bún Mắm, Bún Suông, and Bún Bò Huế to-go. I highly recommend the Bún Mắm and Bún Suông. The broth is rich and flavorful, and what I really appreciated is that it wasn’t overly salty. The meat and fish were incredibly fresh. This is one of the few places where Bún Mắm didn’t upset my stomach. As for the Bún Bò Huế, it was just okay for me—the broth didn’t leave a strong impression. The portions are generous and definitely worth the price. The restaurant itself isn’t very large, but it’s still spacious enough for big groups. Their service is quick and friendly, so you don't have to wait for too long to be seated. It’s clean, and there’s plenty of parking. I’m looking forward to coming back to try the Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm and Trà Đào next.“

“Omg this is my new favorite spot for Hu tieu nam vang! I got the dry version with rice noodles which came it to around $15. It was soo delicious and perfectly balanced. The sauce brings the whole dish together and love the pickled garlic! Broth was so good and comforting. The gentlemen taking our order was so friendly and upbeat. Definitely recommend!!“

“I’ve heard about Pho 79 being one of the best pho in OC. After finding Phoholic broth too sweet, I decided to try Pho 79, and it did not disappoint!
We arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday and waited around 20mins for our table.
We ordered a large pho, grilled pork with broken rice, and fried spring rolls.
I found the pho broth to be well balance just slightly too greasy for me but not a big issue at all! We weren’t offered noodle option so I’m assuming there is only one noodle option?
The fried spring rolls were decent but I think I’ve had better? This dish didn’t really stand out too much, and I will not order again next time I visit.
The grill pork with broken rice was pretty standard, tasted good but I think I’ll try something else or stick with pho for my next visit.
Paying for our meal was a bit confusing? I wasn’t sure if they would bring check over to table, but seems like others would go up to counter and pay so I just did that. It is cash only which is a bit inconvenience but I came prepared!
Will definitely come back for more pho if I’m in the area!“

“No Fancy Decor. Just good foods🥰“

“Speaking from California, it’s good, very efficient. It takes less than 5 minutes to place the order at the entrance.

The fried noodles have wok flavor and the porridge is soft, but the preserved eggs have no flavor.

I ate quite a bit and took a photo first.“

“Ordering is a little confusing. There is a monitor that allows you the option of dine in or carryout. But then you need to go to front to pay before they make the order.

Food was ok. Yellow rice was a little dry, and the chicken thigh was tough and dry. Egg rolls were very good. People were very nice. Probably should have gotten the pho.“

“She doesn’t specialize in pho but this is orange county. It was the best rare beef i’ve ever had. Her broth is peppered with black pepper. I’d recommend lots of lime. The noodles are fresh and not rehydrated.

There was no tendon or tripe in the dac biet. I’d recommend the pho tai if you’re having pho. To the owner I’d recommend just taking the dac biet off the menu. Ppl don’t come for pho dac biet, they come for pho. The pho tai is clearly your best here.“
