50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Newport Beach

“I’ve been to The Golden Rabbit a few times now and it never disappoints. The filet mignon pho and chicken pho are both amazing. You can really taste the quality and the long hours that go into the broth. Everything is super fresh and full of flavor.

Big shoutout to Casey. She’s always super friendly, polite, and incredibly hardworking. You can tell she really cares about her customers.

Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!“

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

“Visiting here with my family, I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the food. The Big Wagyu Rib Pho is prepared authentically, with a delicate flavor that is just right. My mother praised the cleanliness and tidiness of the place, and we will definitely return.“

“Great food. Very nice people“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“The food is so fresh and delicious. Customer service and ambiance is minimal but that's because they're working hard to make good food. I'm a freak for the spring rolls. Good sauce selection. Yummy drinks. I can't stop coming back.“

“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.“

“First time coming here as I was craving pho. The pho was delicious, came out within 5 mins of ordering. And then one of the owners treated me to an iced Vietnamese coffee on my way out as she had asked if it was my first time. And that was SPECTACULR. I might have to stop by just for coffee sometime. But will be back for sure! Thank you! Highly recommend.“

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

“Came here and found a hidden gem. Probably one the best Banh mi in town. I got the chicken Bahn Mi and the beef Pho and that was spectacular too. Super fresh bread really delicate taste on the Pho. A lot of love goes into the food here you can tell.
Come eat here !“

“family‑owned shop, but the heart they put into their food and service is huge. I’ve been coming here since the day they opened, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The customer service is consistently amazing—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of every guest who walks through the door. You can feel the pride they take in what they do. The pho is always fresh, flavorful, and comforting, and you can tell the broth is made with real care. If you’re looking for a place with great food, great people, and a warm, family atmosphere, Fire Pho is it. Easily one of my favorite spots“

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

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

“Everything was fresh and delicious! The broth was clean and didn't need any Sriracha or hoisin sauces to make it good. The combo fried rice was excellent, with all the meats fresh, crispy, and not greasy at all!! The Lao beef was cooked to perfection as ordered medium, and the dipping sauces were authentic and fresh. This is a must goto spot. Also open late which is a plus for me! The staff was very attentive and professional. Truly a gem.“

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

“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 👍 👍“

“My wife and I heard from a friend about the pho at Saigon District, and we have been addicted ever since. The richness and burst of flavor from the broth is unmatched! We also highly recommend the Banh Mi entree. We are working our way through the entire menu and will report back. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

“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.“

“Moc Kitchen is amazing!

The restaurant has a modern and relaxing vibe. The quality of the food here is amazing. My parents and I got the Moc Bowl (Essentially a Pho Dac Biet). It was absolutely amazing, filled with noodles, meat, and delicious broth. The employees were friendly and attentive to our requests.

They have specials that comes with a bowl of pho and an appetizer, or a BOGO for their Moc Pho. All greatly priced and proportioned.

Highly recommend for Pho Lovers. Absolutely will be back!“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Khoi is such a gem! The Vietnamese hotpot here is absolutely delicious, and the Tom Yum soup base is hands-down my favorite — the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and comforting.
I also love that they offer Yakiniku-style cooking options with short ribs, shrimp, and pork — it’s fun, interactive, and everything tastes so fresh. On top of that, the variety of sauces is fantastic, giving you endless ways to customize every bite.

The service is always outstanding — attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Khoi makes dining feel like an experience, not just a meal.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving bold flavors, variety, and a place that truly takes care of its guests!“

“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.“

“After visiting the OC/LA area, we're on the way back to the Bay Area, we wanted to have some lunch before we go. Some of the restaurant closed on Monday, one our friends recommended this place for real excellent egg noodles soups, so we stopped by, it's right next to PLT the big VN shopping center.
There's no parking for this restaurant, the whole block has a few parking spots and there's parking on the PLT but always full. We had to park outside on a different shopping center.
The restaurant is small and simple, clean. The owner or the care taker seems to be extremely friendly and attentive sitting us on a table.
The menu has quite a few dishes, but we're concentrating on egg noodle soup for lunch so we ordered the special bowl of rice noodles instead of egg noodles. It's quite good, quite tasty with chinese crispy donuts.
We had a great lunch and the price is extremely inexpensive. Ready to drive home.“

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

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

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

“Great little restaurant , order the tradition egg roles to start comes with 5 fried rolls you wrap them in lettuce with some basil carrot shreds and cucumber and thin dip in a sauce that makes it a fresh crunchy tasty bite. Had the seafood soup comes in a little hot plate with side of noodles and you laddie it in a bowl. Yummy. Other hot item is the Thai Green ice tea. Yum“

“món phỡ ngon tuyet đĩnh o cali“

“Was craving for com tam so stopped by here since it was close to where I was. Plenty of parking and clean too. Very nice simple decor, clean, spacious, airy and well kept inside. Plenty of TVs hung around with different channel of cooking or food traveling shown. You ordered on the tablet that they provided along with a menu in case you can do on the tablet. Easy order and quick turn around…the foods look delicious and tasty plus it comes with free veggie soup - a really small soup that you wonder why bother. All are good and tasty plus good portion. I was impressed or really hungry that I cleaned up the plate, except the soup (it was so so). Coffee was good, too much iced. Overall not bad at all.“

“I come here a couple times a week and I’m not even close to be a vegetarian. The food is great. I have noodle soups sometimes and the rice plates other times, and the take out options are great and ready to go. The seating and atmosphere are more like a typical Vietnamese restaurant, not fancy high end dining, but that makes it a great fit for the daily meals or a simple gathering. After my first visit I’ve been back here a couple times every week.“

“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊“

“The pho was good. It didn’t have that super rich, beefy broth I usually look for, but it was still enjoyable. The hot stone keeps everything piping hot, which I really appreciate. I like my food hot. A big plus is that they use fresh noodles, which really makes a difference.
I ordered the special, and my husband got the short ribs. We also shared the spring rolls as an appetizer, and they were delicious. The service was good and attentive throughout our visit.
Overall, I would recommend it.“

“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 .“

“Good egg rolls place with other reasonable & affordable noodles & congee dishes - to go only that is. Outside is abit dirty and outdated but inside is very updated, spacious and cleaned. I been here so many times before (decades ago) for their congee dishes and coffee (they used to have combo). Still very yummy and great, friendly folks working there. I got 5 of combo (shrimps/pork) egg rolls and 5 regular (pork) rolls for less the! $10. Not bad. They also do part trays too.“

“Tôi đã đến ăn 2 lần Ngon“

“It was interesting. We tried the duck in soup. The duck was boiled and sliced serve separate from the noodle and broth. We also had Vietnamese congee and I like the extra ginger. Sorry no pics of food, we were just to hungry. But sure others have pic. But I do recommend to try. It was a Sunday evening still very busy but we got seated pretty quick and staff was okay.“

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

“Always stop by here when I'm down visiting family. Its spacious, the services is always fantastic here. The food is delicious. Sure it's not exaggerating portions like I'm used to but the food ia good none the less. simple, delicious and flavorful.“

“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.“

“Good vegetarian pho, friendly staff.“

“No Fancy Decor. Just good foods🥰“

“Excellent Hu Tieu My Tho soup! We ordered it (kho) dry with the chicken broth and red sauce in the side. This is our new favorite restaurant for Hu Tieu My Tho. The owner is very friendly and eager to get you whatever you need to make you happy. They also have excellent Cafe Sua Da, very creamy and not watered down or bitter. We will definitely come back everytime we are in town.“

“Every time I visit Westminster, Pho 79 is a must-stop for me. The pho is rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying — you can really taste the depth of the broth and the care that goes into every bowl.

Just a heads up: it’s cash only, so come prepared. Also, the fried chicken is a hidden gem — crispy, juicy, and definitely worth ordering alongside your pho. The sauce with the chicken is the play and takes it to another level. I’m always here when I’m in the area because the quality and consistency never disappoint.

Simple, authentic, and consistently delicious. A must-visit if you’re in the area.“

“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.“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“Food: We tried three things
1) We try the HK style beef chow fun and it was really amazing a must try here. You can taste the charcoal broiled taste and it was well seasoned. Might be a little oily though but the taste is very nice 5/5
2) Next is fish Congee with pork blood on sides. The presentation is nice and taste is average but I try putting little hotsauce and fish sauce to add flavor and it went well 4/5
3) Chinese Donut is a must too. taste blend well with the congee and taste is reallu 5/5.

Service: When we came in it was not too crowded so the order was done pretty fast so service is 5/5

Ambiance: It was nice and clean like typical vietnamese restaurant nothing fancy.

Parking: A lot of parking space.“

“I made a call at 8:45, they took my order even the business hours start at 9am. It saved my time when I was on my way to work 👍. Thanks so much.
Their staffs is so nice and Bun Bo Hue is so good too. I will be back soon 👍🌺“
