12 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in San Gabriel

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

“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.“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“Found this place on TT! I got the lemongrass beef, with shrimp rolls, and shrimp cake! SO good!!!! So fresh, and a big portion too. The shrimp cake was the best I’ve ever had. Juicy and succulent with a nice crisp on the outside. Devin the owner is very nice too. It is nice to see an owner with passion for their business and food. The people next to me got the salmon belly and shrimp cake rolls. I will definitely be getting that next time. They also serve beer, wine, and sake which is nice too. Can’t wait for this to be my summer spot when its hot outside and need refreshing rolls and drinks!!“

“If you are craving for an authentic Vietnamese food that won’t break bank look no further. Join me in this new adventure.

Saigon Flavor is a tiny hidden gem in SGV. They have extensive menu, featuring Vietnamese classics such as pho, rice dishes, banh mi, bun, beef stew, grilled pork, porridge, curry, vegetarian options and more. Furthermore, one thing that is noticeable they do not offer chicken in their entire menu. That is a demerit in my opinion.

I have drove past by this spot for years but never had the chance until now. I guess I want some new food adventure. I had a grilled Shrimp vermicelli (since they don’t have grilled Chicken) and Iced French Coffee x condensed milk. Both were good. Staff were affable and patient. Service was bloody spot on. Prices are competitive. Serving was modest. Atmosphere was quite relaxing.

Overall, I had a nice and modest Lunch meal.“

“Was recommended garlic flavored soup with sliced beef. Flat rice noodles was right texture. Beef slices lightly blanched. Meal was accompanied with freshly deep fried spring rolls Thoroughly enjoy it Ample free parking easy to locate“

“Delicious! My friend took me here and I had to come back. They have delicious pho and bun bo hue. Their menu is simple and easy to read. Delicious and filling. The service is quality and caring. There is plenty of parking and bathroom available.“

“Saigon Eden in San Gabriel is one of my husband and my regular spots—we come here often and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, and we always order the Kobe pho, which comes out almost immediately. The fresh noodles are a standout, the broth is rich and flavorful, and they’re generous with the meat. Service is fast and efficient, and while the ambiance isn’t fancy, it has that cozy mom-and-pop feel that makes it comfortable and reliable. Solid pho spot we keep coming back to.“

“Ordered some takeout for dinner on the weekend and called in my order. We got the chicken, pork, and beef broken rice. They said the order would take around 30 minutes to be ready but when I arrived for pickup, I still had to wait an additional 20 minutes. It seemed like they didn't start preparing the food until you came and paid.

The food was packed very nicely and it came with soup and a very fancy utensil packaging. All the broken rice was good but they ran out of the steamed egg for one and replaced it with a spring roll, which was a bit small but still tasted good (they could have gave two instead). One portion is very filling!

Overall, this place is still the best for broken rice! Great price for the portion you are getting!“

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

“Went in to get some bread baguette's & bolio for my mom I ended up trying there egg rolls & they had a pork belly spring roll it was so Delicious I had the banh mi pork belly sandwich to die for the bread was just made hot from the oven everything was fresh excellent.“
