50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pasadena

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“Excellent pho spot! The pho is flavorful, the spicy noodle soup is great, and the appetizers are really good too. I especially like the rocket shrimp—the shrimp is delicious and the sauce that comes with it is excellent. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“I am a fan favorite of Lee’s especially the banh mi and iced coffee. When I moved back to Cali I was excited to see how many Lee’s there are through expansion. However I have been disappointed with ALL of them except for the one in Pasadena. Always great service, the bread is always soft with great texture (not stale), plenty of meat. Other Lee’s give and embarrassing amount of meat. Lee’ Pasadena I will always drive extra to come see you.“

“Beautiful and very clean place, food is super delicious, customer service is excellent 👍🏻👍🏻 My family and I definitely will come back soon. Yes, I highly recommend this place.“

“This place has fast service, clean dining room and tasty soups and entrees. Always a go too in Pasadena.“

“I come here pretty often with my friends. We’re students at PCC, and we really love this place! The food is always delicious, and the staff are super friendly and nice. Even though we’re not Vietnamese, we’ve definitely fallen in love with Vietnamese food because of this place 😂 I hope this restaurant keeps doing well and gets even better in the future. Highly recommend!! ❤“

“Had the pho chay (vegetable pho) with vegetable broth and the vegetable vermicelli. Veggie pho broth was too salty in my opinion. My aunt thought so too. I did like they included many vegetables. Tofu could have had more in the pho.

The vegetable vermicelli was better. Could have used a little more fish sauce. Lots of veggies.

Guy was power washing the front of the floor of the restaurant while we were there which made it hard to converse. Would suggest they do it not during opening hours or not when customers are dining as quite distracting.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Thien Huong Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything was served perfectly. Definitely a 5-star experience—I’d happily come back again!“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“Fantastic neighborhood lunch spot. Everything is quick, fresh and tasty! You can really tell how much love and creativity Chef Uyen puts into the menu. There are always new weekend specials and a large vegan& vegetarian selection. Several different types of banh mi sandwiches, al in delicious warm bread. The summer rolls are so refreshing in the heat and a large portion size. Their drinks are delicious too! I always grab a limeade or pennywort juice to complete the meal. I also really admire and appreciate their commitment to feeding and caring for the community through their meal program. All in all, a fantastic, delicious and ethical local spot to support ❤“

“Excellent food and great service. Family owned and my favorite local eatery. Please try it.“

“My Dung Sandwich Shop is absolutely amazing! Authentic Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and perfectly balanced toppings every time. The bread is crispy and the fillings are generous. Staff are friendly and fast, and the prices are unbeatable. A true hidden gem.“

“So happy we stopped by O Banh Mi for some delicious banh mi for a late to-go lunch while visiting Silver Lake! The lemongrass chicken and beef banh mi sandwiches were flavorful, fresh, and swiftly prepared, but what I really enjoyed was chatting with the owner, Natalie, who was so friendly and kind to me and my toddler. Vietnamese coffee was also perfect. We can't wait to return on our next trip back to LA!“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively simple but comfortable. The waiters are friendly and provide fast service.“

“We were invited by friends who love this restaurant and now we do too. We had several small-ish plates of dumplings, some delicious jerky (yes, jerky!), stir fry, noodles, tofu, fish on rice, and the list goes on. Every single dish was impeccably prepared and delicious. We will be back!“

“We devoured the bahn mi's before we could take any pictures.

Very nice presentation in the box and bread was crazy fresh. Ordered the frspy pork and beef sandwiches, with extra pate. Delicious!

The vietnamese coffee was strong strong! Will be back.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“It's not the best banh mi around, but certainly the best price/quality ratio in Alhambra. The line can be long and you can order ahead (phone), but if you just drop by around noon. Expect a bit of a wait. The owner speaks English, Vietnamese and Cantonese, so walk in with no fear. Coffee is excellent here too.“

“Best bánh mì sandwich I ever ate. I had the #8 charbroiled pork. So good!! Very highly recommend this place.“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“the bahn mi sandwiches are great here!“

“My first time here, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The rare beef pho was absolutely delicious, with a rich, flavorful broth and tender beef that melted in my mouth.
What really stood out, though, was the outstanding customer service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made me feel right at home, checked in regularly, and were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. It's rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally impressive.
Great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely kind people. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious pho and exceptional service.“

“Blossom never disappoints for delicious, fresh Vietnamese food in the heart of China Town. Everything we've ordered has been yummy. Service is also excellent and professional. We make a point to eat here whenever we make it to downtown LA. The atmosphere is really laid back and chill. Love this place.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Great food and new location!“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“es deliciosa la sopa y todo y los empleados muy hamables y lo mejor que hablan español. 👌“

“The banh xeo is top notch here. Both the shrimp and fish ones are great! It's so crispy and comes with lots of fresh veggies. Its even crispy and perfect when I get take out! A little pricey but it's a good portion. There is a $1 credit card fee so bring cash. I love this place so much, if only they opened for dinner!“

“Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam.

Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items.

Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better.

Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on.“

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜“

“Pho Filet 2 is a solid Vietnamese spot in the San Gabriel Valley if you’re craving a comforting bowl of pho. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere where locals come for quick and satisfying meals.

I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (special beef pho), and the broth was rich and aromatic. It came with a generous portion of noodles and different cuts of beef like brisket and tendon. The meat was tender, and the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime really brought the whole bowl together.

I also tried the spring rolls with peanut sauce, which were fresh and light, making a great appetizer before the pho. The portions were big and the prices were very reasonable.

Service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly even when the restaurant was busy. Overall, Pho Filet 2 is a great casual spot for authentic Vietnamese comfort food.“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“One of our fav Vietnamese restaurants!
Food is amazing and menu items are more than the basic pho soup and rice dishes. Try the bone marrow, the spicy fish, or the filet mignon with egg noodles! Damned delicious. Staff is also very nice.“

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.“

“me and my boyfriend love this place! our go to order is two large house special pho, one order of fried pork egg rolls, with one green tea smoothie with boba, and one strawberry smoothie with boba! definitely recommend, the pho isn’t greasy at all and it has an amazing flavor !“

“I love the two Summer Rolls locations in Temple City already and this one adds another dimension to their restaurants. The first one is traditional, well the second one has a bar and a cool vibe, and this one feels a little bit more elevated. Service was good, food was excellent as usual, but it isn't a busy plaza we're parking can be a little bit of a challenge. I think the location is also good simply because it's near the mission district area. I have met the owners and they are very hard-working people and I really do enjoy talking to you the owner that heads up the Rosemead location who strives to remember your name and always greets people enthusiastically.“

“It's a one man band, so it took awhile for us to get our food. You will need patience. But when it comes out, it was so worth it! Next time I'd try calling and order ahead, or order a takeout. There's a lot next door that has zero marking, but you can park there.“

“I will just say this restaurant has some surprising options that are worth the stop. I had the Ox Tail Pho and a small salad. Deeeelicious! The specialty drinks are also an interesting change from the norm in drinks. Another bonus if you are on a date is it is upstairs and more quiet than other spots.. at least when I visited.“

“friendly and good service for great prices for pho dac biet and crispy noodles with shrimp“

“Very popular Vietnamese restaurant. We got there about 11 am on a Friday and it was almost full. 10 min later the people had to sign up on the waitlist. The size of the pho noodles is huge. The flavor of the broth was good. They charge 3% more if paid by credit card.“

“I’m devastated that I loved their pho so much too since I’m trying not to eat out as much. I had the pho with brisket and fried egg rolls. It was delicious and had generous amounts of all the fixings. I can eat but the pho portion was filling and shareable. The employees were very friendly even though I ended up there unexpectedly and had on a ratty tshirt and pijamas 😅“

“Love love love, It was my first time going and I ordered the Brisket Pho, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Sesame Balls, And Vietnamese Iced Coffee (My favorite 10 out of 10 alone) was amazing. It was a 10 out of 10 for me can't wait to try their other options. 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🤤🤤🤤“

“Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want.

Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot.

We need to come back again to give it a second try.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“
