Vietnamese Restaurants near North Hollywood

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“I miss Lao food so much that my Fiancé decided to try this place after his work. He told me that the old ladies were so surprised and happy that he knows Lao food bc I'm from Minnesota (Lao community is big here) and I'm also Lao lol. So of course I'm going to make him try Lao food !! What we ordered: * Chicken Skewers - Highly recommend. I don't usually eat chicken from other places, but these are some very tender, juicy and savory chicken. * Lao Papaya Salad - We got medium spice. Savory and some spicy kick. It's delicious. * Gaang Nor Mai - I was really shocked to see Gaang Nor Mai here, let alone anywhere. This is one of those rare gem food that everyone needs to try at least once. It's packing with so many flavor, but the spiciness does slowly creep up on you so I suggest eating with this sticky/steam rice. Also eat this with caution bc I choked on my first bite from the sneaky spice too lol. I seriously recommend trying this soup if you are thinking about. It will change your life !!“

“This was our first time coming here and Peter is the best! He helped my boyfriend and I figure out how to eat the hot pot correctly. It was so good! There is a bar where you get all your toppings and already made sushi then bring it back and cook your food in the hot broth! I am definitely coming back again! I would recommend this place to anyone that loves good Asian food. Good experience and great staff!“

“For $6 it's a pretty great price for a Vietnamese Sandwich. The #1 seems to come with everything, but we happened to get the #4 this time. Crisp and flakey on the outside with a soft pillowiness on the inside. The flavors are fresh and the jalapeno just a bit spicy.Service wasn't that fast, but it's worth the short wait. Although the atmosphere is a little rundown, it still feels cozy“

“Worth the wait. I avoided the wait as I went before the lunch rush on a Saturday morning. Around 10:45am. Their broth is clean, light but flavorful. It was not overly sweet like some places. The eggrolls were the rice paper kind and not the wonton type. It was super crispy and right amt of chewy. Spring rolls were equally delicious. Found meter parking outside. Would definitely return.“

“If you're interested in trying popular Vietnamese entrees outside of pho, head over to Be U! This woman-owned eatery is located in a prime hipster Echo Park neighborhood, and to me, it's a perfect blend of my culture superimposed on Los Angeles's colorful cityscape. The menu ranges from homey comfort-food entrees to popular street bites, and some new-age fusion items as well. Atmosphere: 2/5 As a take-out-only restaurant located on Hoover Street, there's no seating and it faces traffic. If only there were some colorful plastic chairs (like the ones you see in SE Asia) - the vibes would be immaculate. However, you're either standing and eating or taking the food back to your home. Service: 3/5 Wasn't bad but wasn't warm or friendly either - service was okay Flavors: 5/5 Highly recommend: -Banh mi trung op la (banh mi with fried egg): homemade mushroom pate is delicious, it inspired me to make some at home. The egg was crispy to the heavens. -Rau ma juice: in English known as pennyworth, extremely refreshing, herbal, and will cool you down on a hot day. -Tofu goi cuon (spring rolls): The peanut sauce offered with this was so yummy! The spring rolls were super fresh and all the herbs complemented the flavors. Parking: 2/5 Street parking only, very limited Pricing: 3/5 Definitely not cheap for Vietnamese food, however, LA is a high-cost-of-living area so I understand that the owner needs to maintain overhead costs and pay her employees a fair wage! Expect to pay $4-5 higher than what you're used to paying in the OC/SJ/SGV. The reason why I rate it low is because the portions are significantly smaller than what you'd get at a traditional sit down Vietnamese restaurant Overall I recommend Be U if you're unfamiliar with Vietnamese food outside of mainstream pho, but if you're willing to drive to SGV, Garden Grove/Westminster, you'll be truly immersed in the cuisine and culture“

“Amazing Pho here!! Heard about it through theskedge.com & so glad I did. The steak pho here is incredible! Nice little interior as well.“

“We wanted something healthy but flavorful for dinner and happened upon this place in the neighborhood, pretty no frills on the inside. Clearly a big focus on deliveries, but there's plenty of tables. We each got a steak banh mi and WOW was it good! So much flavor, and the bread was perfect; hard enough to hold it together, but easy to bite into. The crispy spring rolls were perfect as well, clearly freshly made and decently sized. We also split some noodles and were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. Definitely will be back.“

“One of my favorite Plant-based restaurants. Love the Pho..love the shrimp .love the octpus...love the teas..everything here is amazing.“

“Not one of the best its Best of very best Thai food i had ever had, we were just passing by to look for good place to eat sudden made a stop & lucky we find our new place to eat mouth watering food will see you soon also our server the Girl with glass was very welcoming & best customer service“

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“Can a café be called "lo-fi chill?" I just love the honest, simple and friendly vibe of Uncle John's. Perfect little spot to have steak and eggs and read on a Saturday afternoon. I almost hate to review it because I fear crowds.“

“Very tasty sandwiches!! Great Vietnamese flavor!!!!“

“Fresh and tasty. Friendly“

“Food was delicious! I loved the filet mignon curry. My brother and his partner loved their food too. Good price for the dish if I am ever in the area again I will be coming back! Their was no wait for a table too.Parking: Parking spots are behind the building, not at the Arby's!“

“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”“

“Good food,freshly served ,affordable and nice server“

“Number one I’m a huge Vietnamese food fan growing up in Seattle I got to eat it all the time and I absolutely love this place they’ve done so well to make the food convenient and easy and it’s perfect to enjoy outside. I had to of course had to have the pho with beef and tendon it was the number two on the menu I was greeted immediately and by the way everybody is very friendly, even the interior of the restaurant makes me excited for the days when we can actually go back inside again. They kept everything very clean sanitizers available at the front desk if you want good cheap food then you need to come here this place is beautiful they’re working very hard I am coming back!! One thing I love is to get the extra peppers of course in hot weather that’s not desirable but vitamin C and healthy content load up the bean sprouts let the broth soak in through the super mouth watering I’m going to try many other items on the menu!“

“Food was good. Service was great from the owner's wife, Helen, herself. The place was very clean and big spaces between tables. There is an added tables from space outside the restaurant uf you see it full. Their table was cut off from a big trunk of a tree which the couple owner designed. If you go to their Vernon Pho in Alameda we should see more of these kind and beautiful tables, Helen said. I give this place a 10 for food, cleanliness and service!“

“Tasty Banh Mis. I always get the sardine along with either the pork or chicken. All made fresh to order. They include a small au jus of the specific Banh Mi you order-nice touch. ? Parking is a challenge since it right on Hyperion so if you see a spot, take it.“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“ive been coming here now for close to 3 months. absoutely love this place. they know me and my bf now because we order EVERY dish with extra meat. hahha. add shrimp to everything it tastes amazing. we have gotten thai dishes, soups, and banh-mi sandwhiches and we love it all, infact .... its too hard to decide so when I go I just order everything and take it home for left overs. typically we go now 1-2 times a week and make it a routine. its too good to pass up. this is a local gem!Parking: easy , its a big lot, if you go at night parking is simple, during day maybe alittle harder because there are only like 10-20 spots, but never had a problem ever.“

“I have eaten the pho here twice and have been impressed both times. The food is fresh, delicious and the portion is good. This is one of my favorite pho places in this area. They are never too crowed when I visit for lunch and the atmosphere is wonderful. It is privately owned and the service is great! Definitely recommended!“

“Last year during the writers strike when I was working for Uber eats during the big storm, someone ordered pho from here all the way to Altadena. Now I know why. Their pho ga is usually good. It's tender. And the vibe is just really cool. The prices are fair for Hollywood, too. Seems to be a local favorite. Never too busy but there are always orders coming in and eat in couples drifting through.“

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

“Very unfortunate rating I have to give, because I actually enjoyed the pho. I originally ordered the oxtail pho, but after like 10 minutes found out they were sold out.The broth was nicely seasoned, not as clean/clear as I’d like though, the rib eye was okay, but there were not enough noodles. Anyway, I ordered shrimp egg rolls as well. I was almost done with my pho before they came out. Yet and still? They came out FROZEN! Not cold, or old, FROZEN!“

“Great food Great price Great service. Would definitely come back. Big bowls of Pho and they had all the necessary condiments and utensils that I see some places don't have. Kid friendly and vegetable bar!! I get the combination bowl with everything in it and it was very tasty!“

“Came here with some friends and decided to have the Charboiled Beef With Rice (I'm not a fan of Phở, even though I've tried it countless of times in countless different places. The meat was seasoned to PERFECTION. I actually wanted to order a SECOND meal JUST like the one I had just finished having when I ate it. It was THAT good. Service was also great. It was around 12 of us and they handled our orders so quickly and efficiently. Definitely a place to check out for good Vietnamese food.“

“Spacious pho restaurant in a little KTown plaza. Conveniently located right next to a bus stop. Valet parking in the lot, but you should be able to self park/street park. The takeout and ordering in experience is very fast, and staff is nice. They have the menu under a glass cover on every table, at every seat. I felt pho was better than average, but not the best I've had. I got the pho with meatballs, and the meatballs came quartered. I didn't enjoy the texture of the meatballs and it's possible they could have been frozen, which was regretful because I feel like a proper, handrolled meatball can really make a bowl of pho go to the next level. Good amount of noodles and the broth was also good. We also got the vermicelli and grilled pork, which was flavorful. Dish came with pho broth and a spicy/sour dipping sauce. I'll probably opt for a vermicelli/rice plate next time I come here. Overall, prices are very fair for LA. A bowl of pho will run you $12 here, and a combination pho (with varied meats like their brisket, tripe, meatball etc.) is just above $13. Hits the spot for pho, but not mindblowing to me. Still a solid spot to stop for a quick meal or conversation.“

“I love the food it's a great place ! costumer care it's super !!“

“We went to Blossom in search of good pho since the place we usually go was closed. They did not disappoint! I ordered the vegetarian pho which had a super delicious broth with a pleasant ginger flavor. The tofu and veggies were good we well. Blossom is located in a historic square in Chinatown that should not be missed. Great ambiance and the staff were friendly. I highly recommend.“

“I got the “wagyu” or the house bowl. It was good. Personally nothing to blow you away. The soup was rich in beef flavor though not as fragrant and aromatic as I wish it was. When served you also don’t get a side plate of herbs so you’re not getting any big aromatic pho flavors.This place looks hella closed and dare I say, dingy, on the outside but the inside is nice! Service was good, and not only was I seated quickly but I also got my food quickly! Generous portions with a good amount of meat.All in all, I think it’s a 7/10 overall.“

“This is the best restaurant in all of Los Angeles. Yup. I said it. Firstly, yes it’s Vietnamese food, but with a homey, DELICIOUS spin, where they favor simple yet powerful flavors, SUPER fresh ingredients and don’t get overly complex with anything. It’s just perfect.I have tried most everything on the menu and have continuously come back for many many years. Ten years? When did you guys open? How old am I? What’s going on? All I know is, it tastes exactly the same and exactly as delicious all these many many years later!! I don’t know a single restaurant that has upheld that consistency while keeping things delicious over the years.Have a Vietnamese iced coffee with your pho & get the jackfruit mix for starters. Or the jicama chicken meatball. Or the fresh rolls. Ooo or get a bahn mi. Yeah I wasn’t kidding. I like everything on the menu!“

“In my opinion, this is the best bowl of pho I've had in LA and I've tried them all. I think the reason I'm giving this business four stars has to do with both the ambience and the selections on the menu. For starters, they do not offer other traditional Vietnamese dishes, like spring rolls, or bun. It seems that it is very limited to Pho and some fried options. The ambience was very bright, and the music was a bit loud for my taste. I like something a little bit more subdued, but I understand that I'm being a bit picky. But the actual Pho itself? Unbelievably flavorful. Another complaint, they do not offer the nuc bro which is traditionally available at every pho place I've ever been to. On the plus side, they have what it is almost a salad bar type, set up where you can grab the sides for the Pho that you want: lime slices, basil, bean, sprouts, jalapeño slices, and onions. This is perfect for me because I like to have a little more basil and onion, but I don't care for the jalapeño and that way none gets wasted on me. If you're only interested in getting a bowl of pho, you are in the right place. I will be back here again for sure.“

“beef Pho is excellent. chow fun us also very good“

“I love pho in Korea too, but coming here makes me feel like I’ve had the pho of my life!! I had rice noodles 5 times, and the spiciest flavor was deliciously spicy according to the standards of spicy chicken, and the basic flavor was deliciously spicy according to the spicy standards of Shin Ramyun! It was nice that they gave me plenty of onions. If you travel to LA and crave soup, definitely eat this!! It's better than most Korean food in Koreatown and the price is cheaper.“

“I came here for some phô with friends figuring I would find something on the menu, being LA. Turns out they have a whole vegan menu! The phô was great and I saw that they had bahn mi and knew that I'd have to come back. I did and will come back again too. Everything I had was great. Bahn mi was spicy and came with great taro fries. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-13“

“Went here for the first time last night - I had no clue this even existed, I’ve never been on the second floor of little Akihabara. Their food was delicious, I really enjoyed my fried tofu bahn mi and my parter got the combo meat pho. The ingredients in my sandwich were so fresh and the baguette was definitely the best part of the sandwich. Many places butcher the bread with their Banh Mi but this bread was PERFECT. The sesame balls were addicting. I am looking forward to coming back, especially for their lunch specials. Thank you!“

“Celebrated the Mother's Day here with my family for a party of 6 and I am very happy of the choice of restaurant. The ambiance was beautiful. Perfect for the occasion for sure! The food was amazing! All of what we ordered was delicious! Photos attached. From appetizers all the way to the desserts, we all loved them all! It was definitely Vietnamese cuisine with a nice modern twist on flavors! We had everything shared by family - family style, per our server's suggestion and it was just perfect! They had a nice sized bar and ample of choices of drinks and cocktails. Service was good, in spite of the day being very busy because of the occasion. She was awesome when it came to knowledge of menu and drinks, and her suggestions were on par! Ambiance was great, with their beautiful wall papers all around! Parking was a bit difficult. There was a valet parking area but something was happening next to the restaurant ( apparently shooting a movie or video) that made the parking area super crowded and hard to get to. I'm sure it wasn't the case on any other day. Overall, this restaurant was great and I would go back to it again for sure!“

“My sister ordered pork steak well done , (picky eater)not quite to her liking and sent it back . Staff was accommodating and have it re cooked . I have a Bah mi , it was delicious, I finished the whole thing . Satisfied!!!“

“I’ve been to Thailand several times and it’s one of my favorite places in the world...mainly because of the food!!!! I ordered the vegetable soup and it satisfied my cravings I’ve had these cold LA nights!!!! Also ordered off menu, a pork omelette...and it was just like in Thailand!! My heart is fulfilled, for now haha...you know this place is already gone be good when u see a mama in the back whipping it up :)))))...can’t wait to try their curry next!!“

“Been a few years since we've been here and they've modernize the place. Menu got an update as well. I got #1-pho special and my husband got #4 also pho ? still delicious, we both almost emptied the huge bowl but the broth towards the end felt too salty, still as good as I remembered it and price is somewhat affordable compared to other places6 years ago:Love their pho, my husband love their #51. Portions are big for the pho and I'm always full, satisfied and happy after consuming the big bowl of noodles and broth.Very occasionally I order the porridge with ofalls and deep fried bread - just hit the spot for me. Prices are still affordable even though they've raised a little. Everyone that I brought to this place enjoys their food. It's a very simple restaurant, nothing fancy and get very crowded during meal times.“
