50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Whittier

“There food was great go get yourself some noodles“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Decided to pass by tomorrow and see how good the pho is because I know som great pho place is Alhambra. They had different item I wanted to try but my focus was on the pho. I order sat down , 5 mins later the food arrived. A good pho must have a good broth , it was ok ,I give it 3/5 the pho noodles was right on the money , but will say to a bit more noodles lol feel like it had a bit less or maybe I ate it fast and I didn't notice it 😂😂😂 the beef was nice and tender but also feel like it was a bit of beef 😂 who knows 😏 didn't taste that much spices on the broth. Or maybe this is how they make there pho broth. Overall 4/5 because I still enjoyed it ,the Thai tea was good also wasn't that sweet like other place they give you Thai tea and it felt like it was Thai tea leaf not that podwer Thai tea. I recommend you guys to come give it try , we all have different taste , you may like it or not , it all depends on you. I know I'm coming back to try their other items that good my attention 👀“

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

“Lord jesus… the pork belly banh mi is god level. I’m not Viet but to me it’s on par with Carrot & Daikon in OC, which is considered the best in little saigon.

It’s a bit pricier, which is just LA tax. The homemade pickled veggies are very fresh. Thank you Hoa Phat, I don’t have to make the 1 hr drive to OC anymore“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I’m a huge pho fan and always ask for extra bean sprouts everywhere I go — but this is the first place that actually gave me a huge portion. The pho itself was absolutely delicious, and the price-to-quality ratio is amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“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“

“Wanted to check this place out with my boyfriend. It was poppin on a Saturday night, which is a good sign. We got the house eggrolls, the Kobe syle beef pho and the Filet Mignon pho with the original noodle (you have an option for a fresh fatter noodle) Beyond delicious!!! The broth and meat was so flavorful
The service was very fast. I have a sensitive stomach so I probably should have avoided the egg rolls because I dont do well with certain oils and fried food but they were so freaking good. Definitely recommend this spot for amazing pho. The other dishes people were ordering that I was able to see looked really good too.“

“I stopped here on my way for some vegetarian food since it was lunar new year and I am glad I found this place. The vegetarian sandwich and spring rolls were very flavorful. The spring rolls were nice and hefty that had some crisp when you bit in to it and a delicious peanut dipping sauce.“

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

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

“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!“

“Taste good and portion large“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“We come here every week. Today a server went outside and publicly accused me in front of my family and guests of not paying. This was absolutely embarrassing and offered a terrible apology for the incident as we did pay already. Great food but today was a terrible experience.“

“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 😊“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I absolutely love this spot for Vietnamese food. Every dish I've tried has been consistently flavorful, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. My standout favorites include the fried egg rolls, the Banh Mi Bo Kho, and the Bo Luc Lac--each prepared with impressive attention to detail and authentic taste.

There's still so much on the menu I'm excited to explore, so I'll certainly be returning to Pho Hai. An honorable mention goes to their Spring rolls, Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Thai Tea, both of which are wonderfully bold, rich, and balanced.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, Pho Hai is a must-visit.“

“Always busy. Order before 9 but server kind enough to let us know in nice way. Grill, pho, rice all good. Lot is small and sometimes hard to park. Otherwise all good. Solid service. Clean restrooms. Haven’t been back for 8 years and glad it’s still here post pandemic.“

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

“Best Viet I’ve Ever Had! Just looking at my photos makes me drool. The pho broth is so flavorful and balanced. They use flat noodles as well, which I wasn’t used to but honestly might like better than the round noodles. The vermicelli was also delicious. My lychee rose juice was so refreshing, although a little too sweet but still enjoyable. Can’t recommend this place enough. A must try if you’re ever in San Gabriel.“

“friendly and good service for great prices for pho dac biet and crispy noodles with shrimp“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 chicken curry with baguette was so flavorful rich, creamy, and comforting! Love that everything here tastes homemade.“

“Great hidden little joint! You can order take-out or sit at the bar/counter. We got the beef garlic noodles and special Vietnamese crepe. The garlic noodles had a proper amount of garlic and flavor. There were kind enough to cut the crepe in half for us to eat is easier. Both dishes were deliciously made and we'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“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.“

“My friends told me this place has improved a lot compared to before, so I decided to visit again after a while — and I’m so glad I did. Every single ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and high quality. When the ingredients are this good, there’s really no need to say much about the flavor — it speaks for itself.

From the onions, lemons, and bean sprouts to every garnish on the plate, everything was perfectly clean and fresh, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The pho broth was especially impressive — light, clean, and not greasy at all, making it very easy and comfortable to eat. You can truly taste the care put into it.

The spring rolls were also outstanding. Fresh, light, and perfectly balanced in flavor — I would give them top marks without hesitation.

I often go to a well-known pho restaurant in La Mirada, but honestly, I would rate this place even higher. Definitely coming back again!

## One more thing I really appreciated — all of the bowls and cups were glass, which made me feel so much better. Some restaurants serve hot water in plastic cups and use dishes that look worn or not very clean, but this place was completely different. Everything felt clean, well-maintained, and high quality. It really made the entire dining experience feel more trustworthy and comfortable.“

“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“

“Super delicious!

First time I've ever tried dry rice noodle - delicious! The dipping sauce that came with it had a hint of caramel- not too sweet. Try this!

Best part: Eating this with some fries and garlic wings with Peruvian green sauce.

Plus the staff was kind + warmhearted. Definitely give this place a shot.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, especially when I'm craving a great chicken and rice dish. They make it incredibly well, and what keeps me coming back is the consistency. I've been eating here since high school, and the flavor has remained exactly the same over the years—a rare quality that speaks to how much care they put into their food.

The restaurant has a warm, family-owned atmosphere that makes you feel welcome every time you visit. It's the kind of place that has built a loyal customer base through good food, friendly service, and reliability. If you're looking for a comforting meal with flavors you can count on, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“Want PHO in San Gabriel? Look no further!

This place is the go to for that Vietnamese food crave. The PHO is excellent and the BUN #44 is always good! First of all it's owned by a Vietnamese family (that's always a win) especially when looking for Vietnamese food. The ice coffee will keep you energized for a couple of hours and is as authentic as you can get. Portions are generous and filling. Everything we've ordered here ia spot on so you can't go wrong when ordering.

The owner and staff are always super friendly. To us they are like expended family because this is our go to place when in the area. The prices are very reasonable and they have parking in the back. These mom and pop shops are what makes eating local that much more special.“

“Recently opened its door in the Temple City, Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is the new culinary destination for Vietnamese cuisine lovers. Having moved to Temple City, it stands proudly across from Summer Roll, inviting diners to embark on a gastronomic journey to Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

The restaurant’s specialty, Bun Bo Hue, is a testament to the authentic flavors of Huế. This Vietnamese beef noodle soup, known for its spicy and robust taste, is served in a generous portion brimming with succulent meat. The rich and aromatic broth leaves a lingering warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.

For those eager to explore the breadth of Huế’s culinary landscape, the Hue Combo is a must-try. This dish is a culinary mosaic, showcasing the region’s famous noodle-based delights. It’s an ideal choice for newcomers and connoisseurs alike, offering a sample platter of Huế’s pride.

While the Bun didn’t quite meet expectations, it holds promise. A tweak in noodle texture to achieve that coveted al dente bite, paired with a more traditional Vietnamese egg roll, could elevate this dish to new heights.

The Pho presents a soulful broth that sings with depth and clarity. However, the noodles yearn for a bit more finesse to match the soup’s excellence.

Service at Kim Hoa Hue is attentive and earnest, although a broader grasp of English would enhance the overall experience. For now, Google Translate bridges the communication gap, adding a touch of modernity to the dining experience.

The ambiance is as fresh as the flavors, with a bright and contemporary setting that promises growth and refinement. Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a slice of Huế’s regal cuisine with every dish. With a few culinary tweaks, this establishment is poised to become a cornerstone of the local food scene.“
