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“

“Very good place to eat outside. Especially during these harsh times for our country.“

“Great place! Had spring rolls, bowl and rice cakes. No complaints! Drove all the way from West Hollywood to eat here.“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“We devoured the bahn mi's before we could take any pictures.

Very nice presentation in the box and bread was crazy fresh. Ordered the frspy pork and beef sandwiches, with extra pate. Delicious!

The vietnamese coffee was strong strong! Will be back.“

“The banh xeo is top notch here. Both the shrimp and fish ones are great! It's so crispy and comes with lots of fresh veggies. Its even crispy and perfect when I get take out! A little pricey but it's a good portion. There is a $1 credit card fee so bring cash. I love this place so much, if only they opened for dinner!“

“Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want.

Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot.

We need to come back again to give it a second try.“

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

“Great food and new location!“

“It's not the best banh mi around, but certainly the best price/quality ratio in Alhambra. The line can be long and you can order ahead (phone), but if you just drop by around noon. Expect a bit of a wait. The owner speaks English, Vietnamese and Cantonese, so walk in with no fear. Coffee is excellent here too.“

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

“On our way home, we stopped by this restaurant to enjoy some delicious pho, and we definitely made the right choice! The pho was absolutely delicious. I ordered mine with beef ribs, and they were amazing — very tender and perfectly cooked. There was also a generous amount of tendon and tripe, which I really appreciated.

Everything tasted very fresh, and they served plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs on the side. We really enjoyed our meal. Thank you so much for the delicious food!“

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜“

“Excellent Pho noodle soup near Knotts Berry Farm. Note: no more stir fried noodle on the menu. I ordered the beef noodle soup and beef tendon pho. Excellent variety of beef tripe, beef ball, tendon, and brisket. Friendly counter service for takeout and good portion size.“

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

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

“Taste good and portion large“

“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.“

“we had great service and great food.“

“Had the steak sandwich and grilled shrimp rolls, and both were delicious! Everything was made fresh and had great flavor. This is definitely a small hole-in-the-wall spot, mostly geared toward takeout. They have a few stools, but I’d recommend calling ahead and placing your order.

When I stopped by, it looked like one guy was taking the orders and doing the cooking, so be patient—it’s worth it. Great little local find, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Adding this one to my regular restaurant rotation!“

“loved eating there with pops“

“My favorite banh mi ! If you're near the west Covina/Azusa area. It's a must try. The shop is a mom and pop shop with authentic pho. During lunch make sure you can find a seat cause it gets popping! And if you're there for breakfast you've got to try their huge egg tarts and Vietnamese coffee. It's not for the weak ! So strong and sweet. You for you vegetarians you've got to try the veggie banh mi. Adorable and filling 😋“

“Haven't heard of this place before and came to try with friends on a Friday evening. There was no wait and they have plenty of tables inside and a small outdoor patio as well.

We ordered the oxtail pho, Charbroiled beef tiny vermicelli, Charbroiled pork rice plate with steamed egg and pork skin, and pan fried rice crepe with pork and shrimp. Food was served pretty fast and employees were friendly.

The pho portion was really big with generous amount of noodles that we couldn't finish. The broth tasted good and flavorful. The tiny vermicelli was great, tasted like other Viet places I have been too and the egg rolls were really gooe. The pan fried rice crepe was also great. It was my first time trying this dish but it tasted good with the crepe, pork, and rice together. The rice plate was disappointing though since the steamed egg was a bit dry and not very flavorful so it did not taste good. The charbroiled pork was also dry and small portion compared to how much of the pork skin they gave. The pork skin also was so chewy and not good as well. I tasted better broken rice so wouldn't recommend ordering it from here.

Overall, this tasted like an authentic Vietnamese place for pho and other specialties. I would not recommend the broken rice plates here though.“

“Not the best aesthetically but the food was fire! Which is always the case when you see an ethnic restaurant crowded with said ethnicity. I believe my wife and I we're the only non-Asians there. Even a monk was there eating with a group, confirming their adherence to non-animal product. You can see him smiling enjoying himself in my picture of the storefront. The pictures of the food don't look great either, but it was all AMAZING and full of flavor and deliciousness! I was literally feeling happiness while eating. LOL We loved the fried fish with ginger (ginger sauce in a side bowl so good make you slap your mama and kick an infant), lemongrass chicken, and the veggie fried rice in that order. But it was all so, so good. Also enjoyed the lemon soda. Was a bit too much sugar but I think it was intentional, as you have to continue to add Pellegrino water as you drink it down in the glass. And the food came with complimentary soup and a sweet corn dessert that was surprisingly delicious to me because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but it was in just the right proportion! Our server, younger with unique glasses, was really cool and friendly too. Not that often you get a eating experience that hits on every level like this. Can't wait to go back and try other items!“

“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!“

“The broken rice here is certainly good. They have the KING com tam dish for $20.99. It’s a giant plate of broken rice with a variety of meats and some veggies. This is the dish to try when you are here.

Skip the bun bo hue. Unfortunately the noodles were stuck together and the meat was overcooked. I did try the cha gio appetizer $11.99 (egg rolls), and it was really good!

The server mistook me ordering “106” for “number 6”, so when the appetizer came out, I was confused what happened to the noodles. I think there is a major language barrier here because we had to repeat ourselves 2-3 times, like asking for water or a Togo box, etc.

Free street parking or park in the Super Hawaii market parking lot. Bathroom available. Credit card is accepted. No WiFi.

“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.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“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.“

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

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“Came Thursday 9:30 pm, surprised to find the music bumping like a night club! Nice to find Vietnamese food late around here. Decor is fun too. Cool watching the videos of vendor streets in Saigon.

Enjoyed the Bun bo hue, tasty & fresh. I asked to leave out the blood cube. I was very impressed with how nice the young server was, he was very helpful & suggested that if I didn't want the pork hock pig's feet either, they could give the higher up part instead, which was very tasty. I am mostly vegetarian but had to appreciate the generous tender meat that was in this dish. He even heated my soup back up later once it got cold. The passion fruit tea was also tasty. They have lots of other specialties on the menu.

Be warned tho - later at night they play the music pretty loud -- if you're there to party, good -- but just for a dinner it was kind of a lot... When I left my ears were still ringing. I watched my server talk to a customer - both young guys - and they had to bend close to each other to hear, like old people. They should give their servers loop earplugs because they're honestly going to lose their hearing working there! Or lower the music a bit? I liked the food, but think I'll stick to day time visits & keep my hearing! 🧘🏻‍♂️🍜“

“I have my personal preference in taste as anyone else would.
It didn’t completely match what Im used to but I won’t ever put that against anyone.
It was delicious, boiling out of the pot- just how I like it.
Noodles were a bit more chewy than I prefer
Service: Only that I needed to flag someone down if I wanted something other than water. But still better than most places.
It was slow but the inside is very warm and welcoming.
I ordered the fried wontons-15/10
Chicken pho-9/10
Loved it 😊“

“Pho Filet 2 is a solid Vietnamese spot in the San Gabriel Valley if you’re craving a comforting bowl of pho. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere where locals come for quick and satisfying meals.

I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (special beef pho), and the broth was rich and aromatic. It came with a generous portion of noodles and different cuts of beef like brisket and tendon. The meat was tender, and the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime really brought the whole bowl together.

I also tried the spring rolls with peanut sauce, which were fresh and light, making a great appetizer before the pho. The portions were big and the prices were very reasonable.

Service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly even when the restaurant was busy. Overall, Pho Filet 2 is a great casual spot for authentic Vietnamese comfort food.“

“Great food, nice service, liked the ambiance. Definitely recommended“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“First time trying Com Tam Kieu and I had dish #37. Man, this was GOOD! 🤤🔥 Everything on the plate was delicious, flavorful, and cooked just right. The broken rice was perfect, and having all the different meats and sides together made every bite delicious 🤤“

“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.“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“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!“

“It's a Pho restaurant, what'd you expect the atmosphere to be? In all seriousness, the food is great. The portions are definitely greater than what'd you expect. And the price is definitely comparable to the amount of good food you're getting.

Shout out to Sal! He runs the show quite well!“

“Hidden gem closed to home. Rare to find great tasting pho closed to home and big in portion.

Throughout the years many pho places give very little and tiny portions, but Tasty Pho reminds me of the good size pho bowls one used to get back in the day. Their prices are also very reasonable. Their stuff attentive to your needs.

The broken rice is very complete with the egg quiche, shrimp paste and radish carrot salad for a very good price. No need to go to Little Saigon anymore to eat great Vietnamese food“
