50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Newport Beach

“Locally owned and situated on Marine Drive on Balboa Island with friendly staff. Our favorite is the shrimp spring rolls with homemade peanut sauce and for a hearty meal the pho filet mignon. For a nominal price upon request they will steam a plate of filet mignon for your furry friend. My minature goldendoodle Violet loves it!“

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

“Great food. Very nice people“

“Pho here is great with good beef selection. Little more pricy vit you'll get good cut of beef. Specially rare. Only down side is when order to g, they are skimpy on the meet side even though I ordered size large . And it did comes with any dip sauce.“

“Linh, our server was super friendly and pleasant. She always smile and attentive to her customers. You always feel happy to have her serve you. She's best at her jobs. She has great personality and superb skills with customers. Phở, rice with Salmon, rice with lemon grass chicken are so good. There portions are huge. Your money are well spent here. As for dessert, you also get free chè đậu xanh(mung bean sweet dessert) I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back again and again. Thank you Linh for your kind service ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“This may be my new favorite pho in Huntington Beach. The broth is incredible and has a nice rich flavor. I ate half my bowl before taking a picture, but I got the 2 meet pho with double steak and it was a really nice portion. The house made chile sauce had a really nice flavor as well. I’m a bit of a wimp with spice so I only added a couple dashed into my bowl and it still has a kick but such good flavor. Definitely try this place out“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“PSA: This location is now CLOSED. They have moved to a location on Magnolia and Westminster. (Grand garden near ABC) The new location was not open today either. There wasn't a sign saying when they plan to open.

UPDATE: New location now open.“

“A very good and authentic Vietnamese food, the crispy shrimp pancake (banh Xeo) is a must try dish, the housemade chili oil is fragrance, bun thit nuong cha gio is a hit. Good service and Jenny the owner of the restaurant is very friendly and give good recommendation. We’ll definitely be back again with friends.“

“My sisters and I came to this restaurant, and they were playing the news. We didn't feel like being bummed by the news, so we asked if the restaurant minded if they could change the channel. The staff gave us the remote and let us change the channel ourselves! I really really appreciated that. We have come back many times since! Out of all the bánh cuốn places we've had in OC, theirs is closest to authentic Hanoi bánh cuốn. It's not perfect but it's close! Thank you again!“

“I usually don’t write reviews . I like more reading them before making decision of where I eat . I’m a huge pho fan and set myself a goal to visit every pho spot in California . I go a lot between the bay to LA . And I can safely surely say that so far ( after about 60-70 pho places) this is the best I’ve tried . Brisket not chewy . Steak sliced super thin , tendon not chewy. Portion is HUGE . Finally a place that gives an option for chicken in the spring rolls . It’s honestly the best pho place for me so far . Will come back“

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

“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.“

“1. The broth of each noodle soup dishes were rich and delicious! I love the variety of protein in the pho house special!
2. The spot had fun casual vibes! The interior is very spacious!
3. The staff was friendly! The food did took a while, but I think they have a small staff in the morning!
Note: They do accept card transactions!

“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.“

“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. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“Moc Kitchen never disappoints! The pho is flavorful, the fried rice is delicious, and the egg rolls are always crispy and fresh. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. Everything feels clean, welcoming, and well taken care of. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Santa Ana and a place I always recommend to friends and family.“

“This place is great for friends to gather and chat. The service is excellent and the food is quite good. The garlic noodle with shrimp is slightly spicy and quite delicious. Crab toast is also a good choice. recommend to friends and come back again.“

“Finally got to try this hole in the wall egg roll shop and I was very impressed with how delicious they were plus the very affordable pricing. I didn’t place an order beforehand and arrived around 4:30 PM and they only had #1 and #9 available. They also offer a slight discount if paying with cash. Next time, I’ll place an order so I can try the others!“

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

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“Authentic Flavors of Vietnam: A Hidden Gem in Westminster Tucked away in the vibrant streets of Westminster, "Bánh Khọt Lady" offers an authentic culinary retreat, reminiscent of the quaint eateries in the heart of Vietnam. This unassuming spot specializes in Bánh Khọt, mini rice pancakes that are a staple in Vietnamese cuisine, delivering a unique, home-style dining experience that's a rarity even in the diverse California food scene. Walking into the eatery, you're met with the delightful aroma of coconut milk mingled with savory toppings, an olfactory promise of the quality meals prepared here. The place, though small, radiates warmth and authenticity, with its minimalistic décor that puts the spotlight solely on the food. The Bánh Khọt is sublime – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk. Topped with expertly seasoned shrimp, scallions, mung beans, and served with fresh, aromatic Vietnamese herbs and tangy fish sauce, each bite is a harmony of flavors. The menu is simple, focusing on doing justice to this traditional dish by maintaining its authenticity, rather than adapting it to Western tastes. The service at Bánh Khọt Lady is remarkable; you're treated with the kind of genuine warmth and hospitality that's reminiscent of a host welcoming you into their home. The staff is eager to share their love for the cuisine, enriching your dining experience with stories behind the food you're savoring.“

“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 .“

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

“Ok, this place is bomb! The eggrolls are perfect, and so are their wings and spaghetti! So, so, so goooood! The prices are also great and affordable! The service is as amazing! Mai took such good care of us and she was the absolute sweetest! We will definitely be back!“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

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

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

“Delicious vegetarian food at good prices. High backed private booths and great service.“

“Impressively extensive food selection. The presentation and portion are fairly decent but, it can be a little upgraded. The food quality, freshness & taste are surprisingly delicious! The front hostess or lady who sat us definite do NOT have any courtesy with unfriendly attitude & lacking any personality & rude. There's 4 of us on our birthday celebration & only gave us 3menu. I corrected with a request for 4 but, gave me an attitude of ‘I know, I'll get you another one. But, never return & no gesture of recognition to handle the situation. Unpleasantly rude & in that case, we will not return with that kind of attitude.“

“This place is really good. We got the Bun bo hue, vermacelli hanoi, and broken rice plate. Prices are reasonable and the flavors are good. I liked the little char on their Viet meatballs. The portions are decent. The bun bo hue has really good flavor, not watery nor just salty. You can order right off the tablet for quick orders. This might be one of my new favorite places to go.“

“Carefully prepared Vege Beef Steak with Rice and Vietnamese Style Crispy Crepe. Light on oil, and full of bright and savory flavors. Pennywort leaf drinks are pressed to order. Service by the owner offered a personally welcoming experience and was most hospitable offering a taste of their fresh steamed layer cake.“

“Tried Hot Stone Pho for the first time yesterday at a catering event. Sheila & servers were great! fun to work with and very caring. I truly appreciate all the help and the overwhelming support and postive attitude from everyone. I'll be visiting soon to try other stuff on your menu! (food was 10/10! 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.“

“Great selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.“

“Been in this plaza once before to get some Vietnamese pastries and saw this place.
Decided to check it out since they have Cantonese style dishes here as well.

The food here is really delicious in flavors. Better than what we had expected.
I ordered their Beef Chowfun with black bean sauce and garlic.
Wifey ordered their House Special Chow Mein, and daughter got their egg rolls with veggies to wrap them in.
Everything was super delicious and their egg rolls had a very unique flavor to them.

The beef chow fun and house special chowmein was so good!
The restaurant was clean, well organized, and the service was good.

The fish sauce / soy sauce bottles could use a little bit of love.
We shall be returning to try some other items on the menu. Their wonton noodle soup looks really good.“

“Had a group of 10 and waited about 30 minutes or so. It's a super small place. They will also take your order while you're in line so you can get it a few minutes after you sit down.

Broth was real flavorful with the crab and thick broth consistency. I'd def go back. Must also get the egg rolls. Be aware of the hot sauce. It's super spicy“

“Food good. Service good. Ambiance bit loud/crammed. Overall great place for great rice noodle soup w/ bamboo shoots and stir-fried duck on mixed VN style coleslaw salad w/ ginger fish sauce. Can choose duck and/or chicken.

Came on holiday weekend Monday around noon and quickly got packed. Quite small and clean place with nice modern interior. A bit shorthanded but staff kept up very well.

Came with high expectations because we enjoy duck w/ fish sauce and this type of salad. Ordered duck (dark meat) noodle soup w/ bamboo shoots and duck rice hoi an. Recommend to get the soup over the hoi an rice because hoi an rice was too hard and not crunchy enough for my liking. Their fish sauce is excellent. Great soup options on a cold day. Would come back.“

“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.“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“I love stopping here when I am in a hurry between jobs. I can get rice with shrimp or some noodles or some spring rolls with dipping sauce already made fresh and delicious with a vietnamese coffee and be out the door faster than a drive thru would be. Delicious food. Service is aways quick and with a smile.“

“The food banh canh crab was excellent and the nem nuong sprill rolls were awesome ans I felt like in Vietnam woth the fresh garlic they give me and Thai pepper with this orange sauce...

Staff was super friendly and kid friendly as I had a 6 and 7 year old with me that are super picky eaters....“
