50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Placentia

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

“My husband and I tried Pho Mazing yesterday. We had Pho with Beef Rib and Pho Combo. The flavor of the soup was excellent and the noodles were chewy. We did not get thirsty afterward unlike some other Pho restaurants. We also tried the crispy egg rolls which were very tasteful. The carrot and the lettuce condiments were crunchy and fresh. The staff was friendly and courteous.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“Music is a little loud, place can use a better ventilation system to clear the food, the onion and grease smell of the place which stays in clothing and hair hours after we left then place. But overall, we would come back for another b owl of pho next time .“

“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 spot is so convenient for dining it or for take out. they have nicely packaged meals that are both affordable for its portion, and have a great taste. we tried their garlic noodles with pork belly and i LOVED the pork belly, a constant craving. their vermicelli was also delicious, especially as leftovers once all the yummy juices have marinated the food (a personal preference). their drinks were just as enjoyable as the food, especially the lychee tea.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food starts with good water. The owner invested in good water and it shows up in the taste. This is the cleanest pho that I’ve been to in SoCal in terms of the food AND the facility. You have to try it yourself to see the difference. What a gem!“

“amazing just amazing the noodles“

“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.“

“The dining experience at Pho Vina was wonderful. As I've mentioned before, Pho is my ultimate comfort food. I love randomly searching for Vietnamese noodle shops in LA to satisfy my cravings. Vina is exactly what I was looking for—you don't need top-tier, luxurious décor, the fanciest cutlery, or complicated culinary techniques. When that bowl of Pho is placed in front of me, a single sip of the broth is enough to fill me with happiness, and Vina gave me that feeling.

I also ordered the Chicken Skewers; the portion was generous, and the meat was marinated perfectly. I particularly enjoyed the Raw Beef (tái); I requested that the kitchen staff blanch the meat slices for me, as I was worried the broth might not be hot enough when served, and Vina graciously accommodated my request.

Yesterday, I gave my first one-star review to a different Pho place, and that experience prompted me to seriously give Vina a five-star rating to prove that I don't have any prejudice against Vietnamese cuisine. The friendly staff and delicious food energized my Monday. Thank you!“

“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.“

“This was the perfect lunch spot. Delicious spring rolls prepared freshly. The ingredients are displayed to ensure fresh quality and cleanliness. I tried the beef and the pork rolls, and they were both outstanding. Truly one of the best spring rolls I've had. I love that they are fast too because other options at the food court seem to take a bit too long.“

“The beef soup is delicious 😋“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

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

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

“Taste good and portion large“

“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.“

“This restaurant is located near the H Mart area in Garden Grove, which is convenient and easy to find.

The space has a Central Vietnam vibe cute, tidy, and very clean. Some of the dishes brought me back to Hội An, especially the more traditional items.

The bánh bèo was Hội A style and the highlight of our meal. The crispy pork skin was delicious, and the fish sauce was well balanced and complemented the dish nicely.

We also tried the bún bò Huế . While it was flavorful, the broth was a bit sweet for my taste, so it didn’t fully hit the mark.

The Cơm Cá Salmon came in a large portion, but the flavor was fairly average and not very memorable.

The service was friendly, and there is plenty of parking right in front, which is very convenient.!“

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

“Absolutely amazing, the portions are huge and prices are exquisite. The family that runs this place is super nice and welcoming, and they’ve decorated the restaurant so nicely. The pho is by far my favorite, with really high quality meat. The appetizers are only 5 dollars and better than any other place I’ve tried. Truly the best pho spot out there.“

“Great hidden little joint! You can order take-out or sit at the bar/counter. We got the beef garlic noodles and special Vietnamese crepe. The garlic noodles had a proper amount of garlic and flavor. There were kind enough to cut the crepe in half for us to eat is easier. Both dishes were deliciously made and we'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Bueno“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“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.“

“Growing up eating pho almost as a family weekend ritual, some say I may be a hard critique. If you consider yourself a pho-holic, pho-natic, or just phoking hungry, this spot is a MUST TRY when in Orange County. Spring pork rolls also make my tummy scream more peanut butter sauce please!“

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

“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.“

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

“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’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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“Yes!!!! So happy to have an amazing pho place across the street from me. They use grass fed beef and have high quality cuts like rib eye. Great broth too! Very flavorful, and they only use a little MSG in their broth. Also have gluten free rice paper rolled/fried egg rolls! I'll be back often :)“

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