43 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Torrance

“Pho Hue Oi is a straight up hidden gem in Torrance and I am OBSESSED. Family owned, incredibly warm, and the service is next level — the kind where you feel like you’re eating at someone’s house and they actually want you there.

The food? Let me get into it. Their Lomo Saltado hits different because they put a Vietnamese spin on it and somehow it works even better than the original. Bold, saucy, wok-fired perfection.

Now. Mom’s rice cake dish — I cannot pronounce it but I CAN tell you exactly what’s in it: shrimp, crunchy pork rinds, finished with fish sauce and Thai chilies. It sounds simple. It is NOT simple. It is layered, funky, crispy, savory and I was not prepared for how good it was. That dish alone earns all five stars.

No alcohol here but their Thai tea is genuinely elite. Thick, creamy, cold — does the job beautifully.

If you haven’t been to Pho Hue Oi yet, what are you even doing? Go. Bring people. Order everything.“

“Ooh, I love this place. LOVE. The first time my husband and I went here we ordered chicken pho and chicken fried rice. It was sooo good the following day I craved it and ordered again the same thing for to go 😆😍🥰🤤 2 or 3 days later my husband and I went back and ordered beef pho and spring rolls, but you just keep coming back for the pho! 🍜❤️“

“Highly recommend the shaken beef with garlic noodles. DEE.LI.CIOUS!!!
Beef was tender and slightly caramelized, so the flavor is sealed in. The garlic noodles had just enough garlic and were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Definitely enough to share.
I tried the lychee green tea with lychee bits and it was so refreshing! Will definitely be back to try their gelato since I was too full this time to get any.“

“If there’s one place known for Vietnamese coffee, it’s this one. That sweet, creamy, ice-cold brew will keep you wired longer than any energy drink. It’s strong, but in the best way. Don’t even bother asking for less ice because the drink is meant to be diluted. Without it, the coffee is way too concentrated (even their bottled version at Costco says to mix it with ice or water!).

As for the food, their banh mi are always solid. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Prices have crept up over the years, but that’s pretty much everywhere now. Still worth the visit.“

“Ordered through DoorDash. This chicken pho was exactly what I needed when I wasn't feeling well. The addition of the bean sprouts, Thai basil and lime was perfect. The only thing I didn’t care for was the chicken because it was incredibly dry. The brisket was better than the chicken.“

“We ordered chicken pho and egg rolls on DoorDash. We weren’t expecting to love it so much! Every place we get chicken pho from, inevitably the chicken is dry, but not Bamboo Song! The broth was amazing and the chicken was the best I’ve ever had in pho. If it was that good for a delivery order, I can only assume that it’s even better in restaurant. I’ll definitely be frequenting this place again!“

“Lee's Sandwiches Banh Mi is very good and they have multiple locations in the Los Angeles area. The baguette is fresh and a combination of meats and pickled vegetables.

The Vietnamese Iced Coffee is an excellent pick-me-up. Great Combo of sweet and strong.

The young man working the front was very friendly and respectful. Although he had a toothpick in his mouth while taking my order. Not a good look, it's unprofessional.“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“I love this pho spot! The ambience is great. The customer service is speedy and you are immediately given a warm welcome as you step in. The food is also really good (although I’ve only ever ordered number 4, the steak and brisket pho 👌🏽). I did try a bit of the shrimp pho when my mom ordered it, and it was good, but I’m more into beef than seafood, so that’s just personal preference. Definitely check it out. This was where I tried pho for the first time and it hits the spot every time.“

“I made a trip to this spot after seeing the great reviews, and overall was ok. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, and the service was pleasant.

We ordered the ribs combo pho and the brisket and meatball pho — both bowls had a solid, flavorful broth that hit the spot. The ribs wasnt that amazing. The egg rolls were crispy and well-seasoned. Thai tea was also great.

My main gripe is the meat portions felt a little skimpy for the price — I expected a bit more generosity in the bowl. At around $60 for two people, it’s on the pricier side for pho, which did temper the experience slightly.

That said, the quality is clearly there. If the portions were bigger or the price a touch lower, this would be an easy five stars. Worth a visit, but go in with calibrated expectations on value.“

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

“Food is delicious. Pho is really tasty I always get the Filet Mignon with crispy eggrolls. Service is amazing-always making sure you have enough water, food, and extra noodles if you run out!👌 Definitely a great spot to bring friends or family :D“

“Amazing food and fresh-made Vietnamese coffee. We got chicken pho, a bbq pork plate (they kindly let me swap the noodles for rice) beef bahn mi (best ever) and eggrolls. It was all so tasty and fresh.
Welcoming and attentive host/server/cashier. She even ran out to take our picture when she saw my boyfriend taking mine outside their sign 🤗 The atmosphere was modest and all that you want, because it means their focus is the food and service!“

“We ordered for a film crew and cast yesterday. The employees were incredibly nice and patient and super helpful with the menu! Everyone was asking if we can order from here again this week while we're in this location. It was a hit! I tried their Vietnamese coffee and I'm coming back for another one for sure, super strong but sweet. Thank you so much!!“

“The Banh Mi was ok. I would order a different item next time though. The Baguette was too dry for my taste and the overall sodium level of the meat and condiments exceeded my microbiome’s tolerance limit.
The service was excellent!
I like to support local entrepreneurial endeavors.“

“Update: I used to love and recommend this place but idk whats going on and its sad, the broth which is the main point is always 50/50 now. When its good its really good but when they miss sometimes its flavorless or super sweet as opposed to originally packed with flavor and all around balanced on bone flavor, spice herb packed, and sweet. Please follow old recipe or something. Still the pork spring rolls are a must have with the peanut sauce no matter what!“

“Underrated place. The PHO Broth is CLEAR.
its so light and good, loaded with cilantro and green onions. The broth is better than Saigon Dish. The old guy is forgetful but thats because he needs to be more busy. Simple Menu when you want PHO.“

“Local Favorite. Excellent Customer Service and Delicious Food. Fast turn around. Owner ran / present. *completely different experience from Pho Hana on Hawthorne (Torrance) All staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommend. My pho craving was satisfied without having to drive all the way out to Gardena / Westminster.“

“In town for a conference and stopped in for some pho. Absolutely delicious and a friendly staff. Highly recommend.“

“Food is superb, as is there fresh limeade.“

“Small place on 23rd and Pacific in San Pedro. Normally this kind of place you drive by. But do yourself a favor they're open for lunch and dinner only and got to stop and eat because you keep coming back.I've been eating there for 35 years. The owner is the chef right there in front of you. Snow does all her own prep work. Her son is the waiter and handles the counter and register. Pretty much a two-person show. They have an appetizer called Imperial Rolls, Almost every person that comes in orders this appetizer. Can't explain it it's just fantastic. It's like an egg roll that you wrap in lettuce and cucumber cilantro and mint dip it in a fish sauce, and when you bite down on it, you get a hot Crunchyroll wrapped with lettuce and the cucumber and herbs inside. Plan flat just good. There dinner dishes are put together with chicken or pork or beef or shrimp. You put these dishes together with different sauces and Seasonings, with some rice, noodles, fried noodles and vegetables. Hot dishes, curry dishes, fried rice and daily specials. If you like this style of food you'll love this place.“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“Amazing vegan menu. 💕 definitely worth a visit. Will stop in next time we are in town.“

“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“

“đã có tại VN từ năm 1960 tại số 494 minh mạng (ngã sáu chợ lớn) phở truyền thống gia đinh“

“We always drive out to Grenada or deep Torrance for pho, but just discovered this place, a few minutes from home. It’s not settling for a closer place, it’s an upgrade. Super yummy pho, egg rolls were great too. Service is warm and friends. Has a nice local South Bay feel too. I’ll be back weekly.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the house pho at this establishment. We were visiting SM and were hoping to find a place serving pho for breakfast nearby. We were delighted to discover that this restaurant was open before 8 AM, which perfectly suited our needs. The staff who greeted and served us were exceptionally kind and polite. We truly appreciate supporting family-run small businesses, and if you share that sentiment, we believe you will find this to be an excellent choice.“

“Fantastic food. We had the DineLA menu and a great introduction to their food. Awesome service. Love the interior. Will be back again“

“One of the cashier's ripped offa borderline homeless person.“

“Food was amazing. One of the best vietnamese restaurants that I love to visit. Highly recommended.“

“Very nice restaurant, very close to beautiful Redondo Beach. Such a cute decorations with great Asian fusion food“

“My first time here because I just so happened to be in the area. I had the brisket & tendon phó. It was delicious. It had so much tendon and I loved it. Great flavor and freshness. I read some of the reviews that were negative. My experience was nothing but positive. I like to eat at mom and pop restaurants. The service was polite and attentive. Give this establishment a try. I think you’ll find it a tasty and positive experience.“

“THIS FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!“

“I am so glad Tesla installed their chargers in the parking lot right in front of this restaurant. Every time I am in the area I charge my vehicle in the same time get something to eat two things one place.. This plaza has a huge parking lot, which is also easy to park even if you’re not charging your vehicle. food is decent services also friendly.“

“I ordered the garlic noddle with beef and it was delicious, and my partner got one of their bowls and enjoyed their food too. We ordered take out both times, but I was back for more a week later. The portion sizes are big, I made 2 meals from my noddles and it tasted even better day two. I have not ate inside the restaurant but it looks clean, bright, and even offers outdoor dining. It is shared with another restaurant that serves açaís bowls, I believe, which only opens up the variety of food you can get.“

“buen ambiente, deliciosos platillos“

“Stopped here for lunch while passing through and was very pleasantly surprised. The chicken pho was delicious. Flavorful delicate broth with plenty of herbs, vegetables & my chosen toppings: wonton, shrimp & pork. Had a nice fresh homemade lemonade soda to go with it. I wish I lived nearby. The couple of places near me are very mediocre.“

“Cute little place and staff was very nice. My chicken pho was good but lacked the consummé depth of a traditional pho --- chicken bouillon isnt it, fam. Noodles were good and Salad Rolls were okay... Good option but ive definitely had better, especially in Southern California.“

“This was my first time getting food from this restaurant. Got #17 Pho rate steak & tripe to go, so while I was waiting for it I had a great conversation with one of the wait staff. The soup was really delicious! The large was big enough for 2 meals! Reasonable prices, too! I highly recommend this restaurant.
******Updat: went here with 4 friends for dinner. Everything was amazing, except NO A/C! Omg, it was so hot!“

“Friendly, great customer service. Food is delicious 😋“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“

“Best green tea mango 🥭 🥭
Popcorn chicken is delicious and you have the option to get it spicy with sweet and sour sauce. They have a 25$ max order and must pay via phone but if youre a regular they may let you slide... so thats nice! Employees are friendly and have good customer service.“
