50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near South Gate

“😋😋😋 😋😋😋excelente ambiente“

“A fast food type of restaurant. Asian/Vietnamese fusion. You order at the counter and they call when your food is ready. I tried the garlic noodles with bulgogi beef and added egg. It was tasty. I will come back to try other items on the menu!“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Coming to Chinatown to discover Asian culture, the restaurant is very traditional and cozy. The food is excellent, the prices are very fair, and the quantities too. The staff is very welcoming, caring and smiling. Thank you for this good meal. I highly recommend. #French tourist“

“For this hole in the wall, out of the way place, it had to be good, and it delivered! I got beef pho with a side of rice and the brown sugar boba. The broth was definitely the best part! Didn’t skimp on the flavors. And the brown sugar boba is really good

Parking: Very limited parking, bring a small car if you can“

“Really tasty food and big portions!! We definitely ordered more than we could finish between 2 people.

The beef spring rolls were like a burrito size! Also ordered street corn, chicken sando and rice noodle bowl. All large portions for what you pay! Hard to pick a fave but I’d say chicken sando“

“A very clean pho restaurant with simple decoration. It also offers special pho, bone-in beef ribs, which are as soft as your mouth. Lemons are generously provided. The soup is hot enough. You may need to wait a while for the meal. The dining experience is very good.“

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

“I came by with my boyfriend to check out this place after watching a movie, the food was great hit the spot and their Thai tea was bomb.com. I was so quick to stuffing my face that I forgot to take pictures! But overall a great experience and good atmosphere :)“

“I randomly discovered the place for Ban Xeo. Quite an interesting dish. It is very crispy. You wrap each bite with the lettuce.
I am new to it, so my table was a bit of a mess.

The owner, a guy, spoke english. That’s good.

There was a sign that says they’ll take credit card, but charge a $1 fee. I think that’s a bit steep.

There’s ample parking at the 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.“

“Been here twice for a takeout, once for garlic noodles and once for the vermicelli. Both were delicious.
The chicken I had with garlic noodles was well-seasoned and not too salty, and wasn't dry. The pork I had with the vermicelli was also well-seasoned. The garlic noodles came with thinly sliced, sauteed beans of some kind and had a nice crispy texture. The vermicelli came with sliced almonds, lettuce, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and cucumber and were fresh.
It's a relatively small shop, so a large party of 6+ should probably do a takeout.“

“I've been on a banh mi quest to find the best banh mi in San Gabriel valley.

I usually buy one item at all the places and it's the BBQ pork sandwich.
This is the best place so far. The sandwich is delicious. Old school delicious.

I call this banh mi, THE ULTIMATE. ?

Place is cash only.“

“It's easily the best Banh Mi joint in all of SoCal. This place tops them all. The attention to detail is superb. They come individually packaged in a box, sauce, and veggies on the side to keep the sandwich crisp. Bread made in house, probably, based on the way the bread has irregular edges and the overall quality. Bread is soft and light in the middle and extra crispy on the outside. The best sandwich here is the Roasted Pork. Listen, there's the usual dry roasted pork you get from those roasted duck houses, and then there's this. All you foodies know what im talking about. This roast is simply done right. It's crispy and light skin around soft juicy meat and fat. No hard glass shards breaking off a over done wet roasted pork belly here. It's roasted to perfection. You know it's cooked at a perfect 165 to retain the juices. The chef really really knows what he/she is doing. Don't expect all meat and no fat. It's not a bourgeois place. And dont expect a 12 dollar rip off. It's not that either. It's a wholesome mom and pop join that service fair priced $7.50 specialty sandwiches that you can't even compare to quality in Vietnam's best joint. Come here with confidence, it's simply the best Banh Mi in all of Southern California. I'm willing to bet the best for its price in all of the US and Vietnam combined. Go try it and you will definitely agree. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.“

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

“Love this place customer service is great,food is great and not that pricey!I truly would recommend :)“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“Solid pho tai for $13, lots of noodles, meat, and broth. The meat is a little too lean and I wish I could get a larger side of hoisin and chili sauce when dining in. All the side addons came in a little baggie, and the mung bean sprouts seemed to be cut in half. Overall, rather go here than drive into LA for Pho 87.“

“Great quality.
Great service.
Great environment.

They only get 4 stars due to the amount of meat in my Pho No 1 order. There was barely any and it was mostly noodles. Tasted great just only had 2 to 3 pieces. Most Pho places I’ve been too are much more generous with their serving size. Still will return.“

“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“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“as recommended by ishigo optometrist over the road : we have just finished a great lunch- the restaurant is clean and modern with booths and tables and cheerful staff - big and well presented mains- I had pho: the others had the spectacular looking garlic shrimp noodles: we particularly liked the crispy: rolls and rounded off with coffees of course. now off for a long walk to settle it all down.“

“They have really good vegetarian banh mi’s! It’s a bit far from where I live but I’m so glad to have tried it! Will be back again!

Also their Vietnamese iced coffee is really strong and good. My husband gave it the seal of approval. Thank goodness for this shop!“

“Awesome authentic Vietnamese dishes and excellent customer. Everyone had a wonderful attitude and had great recommendations for the meal. Definitely going back soon.“

“Delicious papaya salad, lemon grass beef noodles and the rice rolls!! Freaking scrumptious! The chef at this restaurant is the BOMB! Whomever it is knows the art to cooking delicious meals. We promise to always keep you in business. Pleas stay the course during this nutty pandemic. We need food like Little Sisters to keep our souls alive! Ps- we miss their poppin music! And yes we are “down with the OPP and the BIG”“

“My mother in law wanted a good Pho place. So we tried this place for lunch. We were skeptical. Guess what, she told me to order 1 extra bowl (number 12) for to go because their Pho is so good! They speak Korean with other guest but their Vietnamese foods are authentic and tasty!

So sánh ngang với Phoholic dưới OC, quán phở bà người Hàn Quốc nhưng rất ngon!“

“The dishes were overall tasty and came in generous portions, especially the pho. Decent prices, too.

We enjoyed the broken rice dishes; the grilled pork that came with it had a nice charred flavour and reminded us of Chinese pork jerky. We chose beef when we paid another visit, but I think the pork had better flavour.

The coffee was good, but strong. If you’re not used to caffeine, don’t expect to sleep!

Some dishes were a hit and miss. The rice cake appetiser with dried shrimp was quite bland and the broken rice special combo contained a lot of fish cake (possibly deep fried) and sausage type items, which didn’t suit our taste. It was still good, but I think we will stick to the grilled meat next time.

Regardless, good food. Happy to come again.“

“Free house special tea, choices of hot or ice cold. Yummy duck with refresh salad under neath it. First time to taste fried shredded banana flower on the side of the salad.
Super friendly waitress and waiter

Parking: Limited space but street parking is available“

“Tried the Tay Ho Banh Cuon Set and I was very pleased. The togo box made it easy to take home, eat, and discard without any fuss. The fritter was crispy and not too sweet. The crepe was juicy and the filling was tasty. Would love to try their other menu items in the near future.“

“It’s a simple pho restaurant with neat interior.The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn’t anything special… the server wasn’t mean but not nice either.I don’t know, it was good but nothing special…Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it’s close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.

Parking: $3 in 2023“

“Just absolutely the best pho in the area. Worth the drive. Overall 8.9/10. I order the large bowl with charbroiled meat. The condiments are always fresh. Today was a clean 9.2/10. Taste was fantastic. The broth was full of flavor. Just enough noodles and onions. Service is fast, location is mostly clean 8.9/10. Staff is friendly enough lol. Been going for 10 years.“

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

“Hand down the best banh cuon and bun rieu in the area. Banh cuon was handmade freshly in the restaurant - it’s so soft but tender at the same time, not as soggy like other banh cuon places. The only minus is that parking is limited and the restaurant is very tiny.“

“**A Hidden Gem of Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine**

We came on a Saturday to enjoy some of our favorite dishes at the original Summer Roll location in Rosemead. This place has been around forever, and it's like coming home for a meal with family. We know the family that owns the restaurant, and they are always so friendly and welcoming.

We had their *nam*, *bun bo hue* (pig foot noodle soup), *banh beo* (steamed rice cakes), and *banh xeo* (Vietnamese crepe with bean sprouts and seafood). The food is from the Hue region of Vietnam, and they do it so well—everything was flavorful, authentic, and delicious.

While the decor here may not be as modern as their newer location in Temple City, this spot has that charm and authenticity that reminds you of a true family-run restaurant. We've admittedly neglected this location, but after this visit, we plan to come back more often. The food is excellent, and the warm, homey atmosphere makes the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for a taste of genuine Vietnamese.“

““On a wonderful weekend day, my family and I went to MIỀN TÂY restaurant. We really liked this place; it was clean and spacious, with friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, and we will definitely come back again soon.”“

“First time trying Mr. Baguette. I noticed on the menu that they have authentic Vietnamese and American Vietnamese Bánh mì. For me, I always select authentic cuisine special #1. The baguette was perfectly baked and the right amount of ingredients. I thought the vegetables were perfectly pickled. I will definitely return to try another sandwich.“

“This is our go to Pho place, my 10 year old son asks for it weekly. This is a family owned business, we come around 1pm and service is great, food is delicious!! Highly recommend!! We haven’t found another a pho spot like this one ?? we usually get the beef pho, chicken pho and add vegetables. I love the beef pho with zucchini noodles ?!“

“I loved the selection of meat in their combo pho. The brisket was super tender and fatty the way that I like it. Also, I don’t know if there’s something unique about their Sriracha, but it’s really fragrant and floral which really enhances the experience. I’d definitely come back here. It really hit the spot“

“Absolutely my fav chicken Pho ever! Flavorful and tasty broth, but can confirm that not walking chicken (cage free) tho. Nice clean restaurant and they've AC 😜. The side sauce of Dry rice noodles was so good, yall have to try that one ☝️“

“I use to g to this amazing pho place In Alhambra Atlantic/main for 10yrs was realizing I’m not going to find anything close to it and just recently I’ve discovered this small spot on Ktown and let me tell you this place is amazing not the biggest not the smallest either but man it’s worth every penny of it the flavor is SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!! PERFECT!! It gets pack quick tho because of it’s reputation, I get the special combo beef pho you gotta try it I stop going to any pho place’s unless I’m out of town or too far from this city this spot is amazing!!“

“Extremely nice workers and the food was amazing. Spring rolls, summer rolls, and pho tai were all outstanding.“

“Closed to home 25 miles but better than go to Santa Ana 45 miles. Food taste 3.9 Cleanness 4 Atmosphere 3.9 Huge place, clean and perfect bathroom“

“I'm so thrilled this location opened in Cerritos. I would drive down to OC to its original location. Personally, think this location is better. It's spacious and modern. There's also a private dining area you can reserve.
Great friendly service ? The menu selection is vast with lots of seafood options. So happy to have some modern traditional vietnamese closer to home versus driving out to OC.“

“I always get the grilled beef cause no one has "GRILLED" beef pho that I've seen. it is really good. Only thing different this time is the meat was a tougher than it has been before. Hopefully, it is only this time cause it is usually tender.“

“Ahhhhh ahhhh AHHHHH!

I've found my pho place finally in SGV!!! I frequent Vinh Ky in Garden Grove and I have been on the hunt for the same decadent bowl of pho rhat is closer to me in SGV. Holy Jeebus! I found it and I cant believe it has always been close tk me all along.

Great service & great food! Their chili oil is self serve and very good! Their Che desserts are not bad, too.

The only thing that was lacking is the amount of mint/basil that they serve with their bowls, but I understand since a lot of people dont use them but Im one of those people that wanr to see all green on my bowl. But no sweat, I just asked for more!!

Thanks Pho Hai, I will be back!“

“My husband and I love this restaurant! We've ordered a couple times from Postmates and we have never been disappointed. I love the spicy lemongrass chicken and my husband loves the pork belly and the shaken beef. The shrimp and pork egg rolls are unlike any egg roll over ever had and so delicious. And don't get me started on the sparkling limeade. This place is such a gem. We'll be ordering from them forver.

Dietary restrictions: We have a peanut allergy and they are always careful to not include any nuts“

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

“From the noodles to the broth to the brisket all 10/10, the workers and boss soo beyond nice! I felt so welcomed and taken care of, pho will always be my comfort food, amazing hospice at this restaurant. The thai tea is also great and perfectly sweetened“
