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.“

“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.“

“Extremely GENEROUS portions of HIGH QUALITY meat, for both sizes.

There are two sizes: medium and large. The large is equivalent to an extra large you might find at other Pho places. You get to customize your bowl by selecting four cuts of meat out of 10 options. The pho comes with your standard toppings, and you can additionally get extra orders of noodles/sides/toppings.

Having been to the other famous Pho places in OC, Pho 101 honestly has the most accessible dining experience for a comparably delicious broth. The space is large and the service is fast, meaning less to no wait in line. And you have the option to pay by cash or card (pay at the front).“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. Very nice people“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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 food was so good. Our waiter was very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant had a really good vibe. We celebrated my husband's birthday the other day and they gave a free dessert because one of our dishes for my son came late. Really didn't expect it but the waiter was kind enough to give it to us. So thank you! Reason why I gave a 4 when the food itself deserved a 5 was because the hostess at the front wasn't very welcoming. It felt frosty and put on and every time she came to our table it was like this. Anyways, despite that, we will be back.“

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

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

“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 👍 👍“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“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.“

“I think I found my new favorite Com Tam place. Good service, delicious Com Tam, the Tau Hu Ky was crunchy as it should be, clean seats and tables (and plenty of seating), clean restrooms, fresh modern interior design, spacious parking, selectable options with your Com Tam and very affordable, and open late! They have hot tea as well which is a must have for me. The bonus for me was the 3 types of chilis on each table. Outstanding!“

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

“Absolutely DEEElicious!! Wonderful service! Great tasting food! Fresh and fast. Many options, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan. You can tell the owner really cares about his place, his product, and his customers. Great pricing too! Totally recommend to EVERYONE. Will be back, and often!! 💕“

“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.“

“If you are looking for duck and noodle soup this is a good place for you. The noodle soup is tasty and relatively light, served with duck salad which is poached duck on top of a light tangy salad. You can choose the carbs in the soup: rice noodles, clear vermicelli, or rice.
I liked it a lot but given the limited menu make sure you go with people who like duck or chicken... this is a pretty limited menu. Service was great, fast, friendly.

parking is tough. welcome to Bolsa.“

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

“Good vegetarian pho, friendly staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been coming here for years! The quality is always consistent and generous. Sometimes we dine in however most of the time we pickup as it gets busy! The entrees are great as well as their generous lunch special! Parking can be hectic during dinner times especially weekends!“

“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 .“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Hot Stone Pho! Andy took excellent care of us—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He recommended the Hot Stone Short Rib and the iced green tea, and both were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls, which were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made.

The restaurant itself is spotless, with a welcoming atmosphere and a team of staff who are all very helpful and polite. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, and the presentation made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality pho and great service!“

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

“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.“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“The bun bo hue with the beef tongue was delicious! And the banh beo was amazing, everything here is flavorful. The sugarcane drink with coconut is really refreshing. Friendly servers and a free soybean dessert, I highly recommend the food here!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“No Fancy Decor. Just good foods🥰“

“I'm a Korean, and I’ve traveled all over Vietnam many times, and I can confidently say this place has better dishes than anywhere in Vietnam...!!! Make sure to add oxtail — it’s absolutely heavenly. I’ll definitely be coming here often!“
