50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Placentia

“Great service and great tasting Pho. My kids love it here“

“Literally the best pho place in OC (I’ve tried lots of them). Their phomazing comes with a giant ox bone that you eat the meat off of and will make you drool. Husband gets the chicken chow mein that I end up eating half of. Rich authentic flavor tastes like it’s from Asia.“

“Literally the best food around! pork vermicelli and fried tofu! their pho! everything is top tier !!!!! we moved to oregon and miss this food so much haha! the best! hands down!“

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk“

“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.“

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

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“Omeli Kitchen is my happy place! Every time I go, it's a flavor explosion. The lomo salteado is a guaranteed winner—it's never let me down. And the shaken beef? Seriously, it's so good it should be illegal. This cozy spot might only have 10 tables, but they get the food to you lightning fast. It's a must-have on our regular rotation.“

“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.“

“This is my go to chicken pho spot. It’s not overly busy like their main location in little Saigon. The spicy chilli sauce they have is really good if your into that stuff and if you’re not feeling like pho you can order their fried chicken leg which is super crispy that is also served up with fried chicken skin which is addicting. Just remember they are closed on wednesdays.“

“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.“

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

“Man, after a long, exhausting day at Knott's Berry Farm, Pho QT was a lifesaver. It was exactly the comfort food we were craving. The people there were so awesome—super friendly and accommodating from the minute we walked in. They were even able to make a smaller bowl of pho just for my son, which was perfect.
We got the Pho Dac Biet and the Pho Suon Bo, and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender. Was it the best pho I ever had? No, but my family enjoyed it.“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

“This was an EXCELLENT pho restaurant. My wife and I took a vacation with our friends to California. We came all the way from Idaho. We were hungry after arriving at our hotel from driving all day. My wife and our friend all really love pho; me not so much. I will say, this was the best pho that I have had. The service here was very quick. The food tasted very delicious. We gave our compliments to the staff after finishing our meal and we ended up talking with them for a moment. They are very kind and friendly.“

“SPRING ROLLS & Made to Order Bowls.

Roll & Co, business --

Not to be confused with the previous business/ restaurant that was here right BEFORE Roll & Co >>>

which was A ROLLING ICE CREAM store,,
Where they made the ice cream on a cold marble stone.
(Similar like Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream.)“

“This place seriously delivered. We ordered the shrimp pho, beef vermicelli, a shrimp and veggie dish with rice, taro milk tea with jelly, fried egg rolls, and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was fantastic. The shrimp spring rolls were a bit on the smaller side, but still super fresh and tasty.

Customer service was warm and welcoming, and I really appreciated that they had gluten-free soy sauce for us gluten-free baddies 🙌

The space itself is tight. Tables are small and close together, but it added a kind of street-side charm. Felt like I got a mini taste of what dining in Vietnam might be like. Cozy, vibrant, and all about the food.

The only thing I didn’t love was the bathroom situation since you have to walk around the back to get to it. The location is also right next to a laundromat, so it’s not the most glamorous setting. But honestly, once the food hit the table, I didn’t care.

Would absolutely go back.“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“Taste good and portion large“

“Adore the pho broth from this restaurant! Nice balance of herbal and meaty taste, with slightly fatty mouth feel, and hot enough to cook my bean sprouts. 👍 They also let me order the kid-sized pho with whichever meat I wanted (combo style), which I really appreciated on my diet. Egg rolls were fried fresh and hot.

Plus I genuinely enjoyed eating inside the restaurant. Cozy and clean, with gentle music playing. I'm coming back!“

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

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

“This place has the best Pho and Lousiana Cajun seafood near Knott's Berry Farm.

Its located on Magnolia near La Palma Ave same center as Popeyes.

Its a mom and pop operation and the food seems home cooked.

Atmosphere is quiet and soothing with the sound of birds

The Lousiana seafood can be boiled which is a great healthier option. The fried seafood is savory.

You must try the Rib Cube beef Pho its super beefy.“

“Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is one of those places that instantly earns five stars. I first discovered them through DoorDash and immediately fell in love—but once I came in person, I realized just how much of a hidden gem this spot really is (and how much more affordable it is dining in).

The menu hits all the Vietnamese classics: a solid lineup of Vietnamese appetizers, cơm tấm (broken rice), bún (vermicelli) bowls, and plenty of traditional Vietnamese drinks to round out the meal. Everything feels comforting, well-portioned, and thoughtfully prepared.

What really stands out—besides the food—is the value. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for today: vermicelli dishes range from $12–$15, and broken rice plates from $12–$17. For the quality and portion size, it’s honestly a steal.

The owner was the one who took my order, and they were genuinely kind and personable, which made the experience even better. That personal touch goes a long way and really reflects the heart behind the restaurant.

If you’re ordering delivery, it’s great—but if you can, come in person. It’s noticeably cheaper and well worth it. Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is comforting, affordable, and run with care—exactly the kind of neighborhood Vietnamese spot you want to keep coming back to.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“I stopped here just after an atmospheric river storm on the way to an event recently. I sat down to order but soon realized there would not be enough time to stay and I did not see anything to drink except the usual mixed sweetened tea/coffee/smoothie type cold beverages so I asked if they have anything hot. Although their hot coffee was not on the menu I agreed to try two of them to go. These were EXCELLENT in robust flavor that was not one bit acidic or bitter. They were incredibly thick and delicious like the kind they serve in Athens Greece…not to mention quite hot which was perfect for the storm. I saved the other half for the next day leaving it in the refrigerator when I came home. The next morning although the temperature of coffee changes the flavor is was still incredibly delicious just a smoother sweet taste. I definitely like this coffee both hot and cold. I would highly recommend this to anyone who actually likes the taste of coffee. No need to add anything to it. It was perfect the way they served it.“

“Bánh mì chảo và bò lúc lắc với garlic noodle rất ngon, giá vừa phải 👍🏻“

“I’ve found myself coming to this spot many times whenever I’m in OC. It’s one of the few places where you can find a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes beyond just pho, which, honestly, a lot of places still don’t get right.

I’ve tried more than six different dishes here, and every single one has been flavorful, delicious, and truly authentic. It tastes just like home.

Some of my favorites are the Bún Mắm, Bánh Hỏi Heo Quay, Bún Riêu, and Hủ Tiếu Mì Khô—all so good and packed with flavor. I don't recommend Bột Chiên tho!

The service is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Vietnamese food that goes beyond the usual. A hidden gem worth checking out!“

“One of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurants I have found in orange county!“

“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.“

“Tastes great! Excellent service and very clean restaurant.“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“Great portions, great price. Their pho is like medicine for me. The meat is always perfectly cooked, the broth is thick and flavorful, the bon mi is amazing, and their Thai tea is made from scratch.
At this point, these people are family, no reason to go anywhere else.“

“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.“

“Since I returned from a trip to central Vietnam 4 years ago I’ve been chasing down a bowl of authentic cao lau. Living in San Francisco and Portland I can hardly get my hands on cao lau, so little Saigon has been a destination for me. This was my first and only required stop when I finally visited the area and it did not disappoint! The Cao Lao noodles were perfectly square and chewy, the broth herby and flavorful. The pea greens were also delicious. The lovely man who works and runs this with his wife was so friendly. I’ll be back!“

“Bueno“

“We ordered the spring rolls and pho with beef and meatballs and both were excellent. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We ordered to-go and all components were packed separately including peanuts to add to the dipping sauce. We received excellent service when calling ahead to order and at the location.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“Great soups. I tried pork blood here for the first time. 👍🏽“

“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.“

“My favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. I always get their number 18 pho which is brisket and well done flank. This place is the only place around me that serves amazing food while being very affordable. Service is always welcoming and room is always filled with happy customers.“

“I wish I had come here sooner! The food is fresh and hot and the staff is very nice. The portions are generous and it was so good I forgot to take pictures.

We did the combo platter appetizer which is a great way to test out two different springs roll (bbq pork and shrimp) and their egg rolls. The shaking beef and the house special fried rice. The bbq pork is a shining star, great char and delicious flavors. No complaints and we will be returning!“

“We had a lovely lunch today and the food is delicious!! The owner is delightful and funny!! We had some madeleines and they were so yummy!! Thank you for a great experience!!“

“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!“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

“Small and clean Viet restaurant. Love this place cause they've variety of Viet street food with cheap prices. The rice paper salad is okay, the fermented shrimp past was kinda salty and I wasn't enjoy it at all. Pha lau was the best.“
