50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Whittier

“There food was great go get yourself some noodles“

“I love Meatball Pho here. It's really good👍 and staff so nice“

“I’ve been coming to Pho Mai for over 10 years, and it never disappoints. The pho here is simply phenomenal — rich, flavorful broth and fresh ingredients every time. It’s my go-to spot for comfort food, and no matter what dish I try, it always hits the mark. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and over the years, they’ve even been teaching me how to order in Vietnamese! Now, I always order ‘Phở số 2, thêm thịt, tô lớn,’ which is the Number 2 with extra meat, large size. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, Pho Mai has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food!“

“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.“

“When I’m in Whittier visiting my sister I always swing by for a bowl of Pho and spring rolls“

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

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

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

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

“Small little place with only a small bench to eat outside. I usually just get a. Sandwich and a coke and eat it in the parking lot, sitting on the wall in a sunny spot-And I have a great time.

I call this a win. I have the same thing every time. I know I should try something new. Next time maybe“

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

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“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.“

“Man, after a long, exhausting day at Knott's Berry Farm, Pho QT was a lifesaver. It was exactly the comfort food we were craving. The people there were so awesome—super friendly and accommodating from the minute we walked in. They were even able to make a smaller bowl of pho just for my son, which was perfect.
We got the Pho Dac Biet and the Pho Suon Bo, and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender. Was it the best pho I ever had? No, but my family enjoyed it.“

“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“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Went there for breakfast around 10am and it was nice and empty. Food came out fast and tasted good. Came with a lot of basil and cilantro. They have an extensive menu. Only downside is the parking directly behind the restaurant is limited to 5-6 spots. If it’s full you have to park in the parking garage“

“Taste good and portion large“

“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.“

“Quite Wonderful people. First time here and I will be back. Lee was kind enough on how to eat this dish. Please come and enjoy. So birds need passports to fly from place to place. We are all one. Be the love you want in your life. And it will appear for what you are looking for is looking for you.“

“mMMmmmMM! Oh baby the cheese! The cheese sticks are absolutely fantastic! The small Pepperoni Lovers pizza is absolutely TIGHT and will definitely get again! A lil heavy on the sauce for myself but the crust is perfect 😛 the ranch is thick and not cheap. 10/10 I'll be 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.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“Great food! I've been here twice and have tried the fresh shrimp and tofu spring rolls with terrific accompanying sauce, flavorful chicken fried rice, shrimp pho with delicious broth, and the lovely Lychee fruit tea! Yum! Totally coming here again... and bringing more friends. Mangosteen has a clean, modern atmosphere, primarily indoors with a couple of outdoor tables. Friendly and helpful customer service.“

“Pho 626 in Baldwin Park is hands down one of the best spots for pho! The quality of the beef is top-notch — super tender and flavorful. The noodles are cooked perfectly with just the right texture. And don’t even get me started on the avocado smoothie… it’s the best I’ve ever had! Creamy, fresh, and not too sweet — just perfect. Highly recommend this place if you're craving quality pho and refreshing drinks!“

“We ordered the spring rolls and pho with beef and meatballs and both were excellent. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We ordered to-go and all components were packed separately including peanuts to add to the dipping sauce. We received excellent service when calling ahead to order and at the location.“

“The food was amazing, very hot and a lot of food for the price. I was not able to finish the house special but it was just as good the next day. The veggies were very fresh and the noodles and meat were great. The broth itself was amazing!
The Thai tea and beef rolls were fantastic, I had to order another Thai tea to go because I couldn’t get enough!
The flavor of the food was great and it is definitely one of my new favorite spots for pho. Will and have recommended to anyone looking for a good authentic pho spot!“

“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“

“Found this hidden pho spot in Pico Rivera and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a small restaurant but very clean with a fresh, modern vibe and trendy music. Everything looks new, which made the experience even better.

The server was attentive at the start, though he didn’t come back to check if we needed additional refills. The dumplings were on the smaller side and a bit pricey, but they were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. The pho itself was hot, delicious, and very satisfying.

Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. This place is worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“15. Com Tam King Special is good but not so good as expectation when it looks like the best one which this restaurant recommended.

79. House special with beef combo is really nice. Highly recommend. We would come again because of this beef noodle. The soup and beef is delicious.

The service is good. People here are very friendly and serve efficiently.“

“Get the Cơm Bò Lúc Lắc or (shaking beef) and thank me later. Described by my boyfriend as “one of the best things he’s ever eaten” this meal was a 10/10. The meat was so delicious and veggies so fresh - they worked together perfectly.“

“It's a one man band, so it took awhile for us to get our food. You will need patience. But when it comes out, it was so worth it! Next time I'd try calling and order ahead, or order a takeout. There's a lot next door that has zero marking, but you can park there.“

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.“

“Great Vietnamise food. Food it really delicious and the owner is very nice.“

“The Tofu Spring Rolls are good, but lacking flavor. Me personally, I like peanut butter, but the Hoisin Sauce with Peanut Butter had a weird aftertaste. The pork chop was nice and charred, but also lacked some flavor. The vermicelli (noodles) is a nice filler. Great service, and overall nice interior, the only real problem is being crammed with space.“

“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.“

“My friend and I went here today for the first time, absolutely amazing. The first thing we said immediately was how amazing it smelled inside the restaurant. We were the only people inside the restaurant and the service was good. The phở was absolutely amazing! The broth was absolutely delicious, I always add chili oil because I enjoy spice when eating phở. I will say the meat was a little dry but overall delicious. I will be coming back!! 🧸“

“We had esten hete before and it was sok good. So we came bsck and it never disappoint. I ordered their btoken rice with egg meatloaf, pork chop., pork skin, with shrimp tofu- it was the best! It came with souo on the side. My hubby ordered the crispy egg noodle snd we lije it. Price is very reasonable, service is super fast and staff are very friendly. The staff came back multiple times to check with us with his charming smile, you can't beat that. I love this place. Check this out“

“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.“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“I was seated as soon as I walked thru the door. As soon as I looked up from my menu, someone came to take my order. I went to the bathroom, sat down and my food arrived within 5 minutes of me parking my car. These guys are always so fast and the food is always delicious.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Just drove hoping the news wasn't true, im completely heart broken to see there closed, been going to the spot forever even before when they changed owners, staff was always friendly and fast. Thank you to the staff for always being amazing.“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in SGV. I’ve lived here for 25 years, and this place has been my go-to for a long time. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the restaurant is super clean. I always get the dry vermicelli — the lemongrass beef is packed with flavor, and the shrimp rolls are crispy and so good. They’ve got a nice variety of beers too, which makes it a fun spot to hang out with friends. The owners are always around, super friendly, and you can tell they really care about keeping the place in great shape.“

“Out of all the businesses that exist in this small plaza in Cerritos, Soup Shop has to be one of the best. Walking up to the front of the restaurant, I felt a little uncomfortable because there were so many people waiting for a table outside. I put name down for two and was told it would be a 25 minute wait but didn’t even end up waiting the whole 25, they had the table ready pretty quick.

After sitting down, we both ordered our pho and the food was out in less than ten minutes. I had the combination and my friend ordered the oxtail with a bone on the side. They were both amazing. Considering the price you pay, which most of the pho bowls here are over 15$, the portion makes it absolutely worth it. On top of that, you get unlimited noodle refills to eat with your soup. I have never had this before at any pho restaurant but it was a welcome change haha.

Our server was also very accommodating. He brought me a glass of hot water because I didn’t want ice water and he also checked on us repeatedly to make sure we were doing okay.“

“Love their duck salad! I've never had duck cooked this way before and it's delicious. They have this awesome deal... if you buy the half duck salad, get a bowl of noodles with it free! But it's dine in only.
Been here 2x now and definitely would come back. I want to give food 4.5 stars only bc the Thai tea I had was barely sweet. Didn't love it.“

“First of all BEST Pho in town. OMG!!!customer service is awesome. Been coming here since they first opened. Will keep coming back for more Pho and other foods.“

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“
