Super happy this new Vietnamese restaurant just opened near us - Food is delicious! The meat and shrimp were super flavorful and grilled/charred well. Excited to try the pho next time - The inside of the restaurant is homey, nice lighting and comfortable tables - Parking is easy and the place is easy to find
I'm in the area for work and I started coughing today. I wanted either bun bo hue or pho tai to hopefully help boost my immune system and health. Luckily I found this place. Even though it's a holiday and they were about to close, they still graciously let me sit and eat. I had good pho tai with tendon - and the tendon was very soft! The owners are very nice.. so if you ever have a bad comment or think they lack service - remember how damn tired they probably are as a mom + pop shop. Just be grateful you get to eat there ????

2024.08-25/SUN_1000: We were craving Pho but didn't feel like going to our favorite spot in Santa Clarita. We wanted something more closer to home. The only problem is, not many places make my favorite dish, Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ. It's a crepe filled with pork and shrimp and veggies. It's also served with veggies to eat it with. I've always loved for Vietnamese cuisine mixes the hot and crispy with fresh veggies. We ended up finding Khuu Bistro. One of the two places within Reseda and Santa Clarita that makes Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ. We found out that it even supports our Early Bird schedule! On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they open at 9 a.m. and during the week, they open at 10 a.m.
Nestled in an inline, tiny shopping center, we found the welcome Khuu Bistro. It's the only restaurant that had a wonderful, calmly decorated exterior. You won't miss it because it's beautiful. I don't know how to explain it unless I use the word "zen". It would definitely be the only restaurant I would choose there because it's inviting. There are plants and a new burgundy awning. Just calming. When you walk in, it has nostalgic decor along with plants, a very clean restaurant and is similar to a bodega or market yet inviting.
We were greeted by an older gentleman who asked us if it were our first time. The music created a warm ambiance. It was great to see elders walk in and you can tell they've been frequenting the restaurant for quite some time. This means it's going to be some real good food.
We ordered the Eggrolls/Bún cha Ha Noi, to start with. It was stuffed with ground pork, mushrooms, clear vermicelli, vegetables all wrapped in spring roll skin then deep fried. The outer skin of the egg rolls were like no other Vietnamese place we've eaten at. The mushrooms in the rolls give it such a great flavor. It was out of this world authentic and delicious! We now have a new favorite spot. Completely sold. We love how authentic the flavor of the Eggrolls along with the sweetened dipping fish sauce, Nuoc Cham was also delicious! Luckily, the dish I ordered came with Nuoc Cham!
We got the charbroiled pork in fish sauce, Bún cha Ha Noi and the Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ, a Vietnamese Crepe. My favorite! Oh my gosh, words cannot describe how authentic the flavors of their dishes are. It made us completely forget our favorite spot in Santa Clarita. Now we found a new spot close to home! Holy moly, the crepe came out light and crispy and the first bite was absolute heaven. The crepe is stuffed with delicious pork, shrimp, and sprinkling of mung bean, onions and bean sprouts. So different than any other Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ that we've tried.
Another great fact is their menu consists of different dishes from the Northern, Middle and Southern regions of Vietnam. This is how you know it's legitimately authentic. They let you know! The other dish was the charbroiled pork in fish sauce, Bún cha Ha Noi. My husband asked how to properly consume the dish and the gentleman showed him. Generally, if you go to other restaurants, it's all thrown into a bowl and you're given a little ramekin of the Nuoc Cham. You eat the dish like cold dipping noodles by using another little bowl to place all of your items of a couple of bites inside it along with the broth/sauce and Nuoc Cham. Holy moly, we were in heaven. My husband was very happy and satisfied. He said eating it the proper way changed the flavor and experience.
Another great thing was the pricing to portions. Extremely great. Along with the experience from the gentleman that served us, ambience and authentic cuisine, we now have a new place to frequent. Apparently the dish my husband has was the same fish that Anthony Bourdain had when he went to Vietnam.
You definitely have to visit and just know that this is our new spot! We can't wait to try the Pho, if these dishes were excellent, I can't imagine how the

Super pleased with the food, and the staff is really friendly! The atmosphere is super peaceful as well. They asked me how the food was and I said it was incredible (trust me I’m vietnamese so my standards can be high sometimes). In particular I mentioned the beef being really tender with perfect char flavor, and the waiter told me they use quality black angus beef! I’ll be returning for more good Vietnamese food. :)

This is a great Vietnamese joint. I still have to try Pho and others, but all the dishes looked yummy. I loved every bite of my lunch so far - large enough to make it to the dinner as well. There are plenty of vegetarian options. It’s next to Seven Eleven, but plenty of parking space.
I got curious with this place since my route is always in this area , yesterday I thought of trying this place. The food is great but the old man was really rude and he got upset when I asked for the box to go , I shouldn't give this old man a tip not worth it but I just gave anyway because the cook was amazing. Honestly I don't care if their food are good but I won't be coming back to this place there's more places to choose from.

Let me start out with "What the Pho!" Rare steak pho is excellent. Recommend it to any one who think they had real Pho. Vegetables and beef are fresh. The dried noodle has the right flavor and the side of broth is excellent with the right vegetables to complement it. The pork is slightly on the sweet side. The star of the pork plate is the pickled vegetables. Nicely done! They are under staff but the food came out quickly. Staffs are friendly and prompt. Space is small but I wouldn't change it if the food is great people will wait! This place is "A diamond in the rough." A must try!

I am very impressed. The best pho I've had in LA... And I've had a lot of pho... There was a Vietnamese couple that found three place there night before and brought their entire family... They all kept saying how delicious the food was... They were even saying it was better than some of the other highly rated Vietnamese... I agree... Fairly new yet impressively good. Thanks Khuu bistro, I'm coming back
Special authentic food, more than just phos
