50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Garden Grove

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.

Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.“

I was highly suggested it, and now I am telling people about it!“

“It was perfect timing for this Pho Hot Pot restaurant for our post spa/massage dinner! On this day, it did get much cooler in the evening, so hot pot was perfect! Our eyes definitely got hungry when we ordered this "Combo for 4" for just us 2, but it was the perfect opportunity to try different things! Thanks to our awesome server who was able to guide us through the menu, as noobs to the restaurant! Everything we tried was so delish and we had plenty to take home to share with our families! W“

“This place has the best Vietnamese desserts. Customer service is good. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. I don't speak much Vietnamese but I know just enough to order. My go to is the Chè Ba Mau. Parking is limited but you can always park in the nearby neighborhood and walk there.“

“Saturday 12/7:24 Lunch at 99999 Restaurant - Phở Út Nô in Garden Grove. I’m trying out their BBH, served in a metal bowl to retain the heat. The soup base was really good, not overpowering with a nice portion of meats and reasonably priced. There are many menu items that I will be returning to try out.

The restaurant has a nice decor and a big screen TV and several TV around the restaurant to watch sports games.

Mike, service staff, was polite and attentive to customers.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Very good. Highly recommended“

“Best Hoi An food in Orange County! We had the Cao lầu, bánh đập, and nem lụi thịt nướng. All three were fantastic! The owner was very friendly, and even brought us free chè for dessert! The menu is also quite large, with some great choices available that you can't find at other Vietnamese restaurants. I also appreciate the traditional Hoi An lanterns for decor. Plenty of parking available outside. 16 tables, each of which seats four, with the option to push together for larger groups.“

“Great food, good service, friendly staff.“

“Food is delicious! Will come again“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“I just tried this place for the first time and I'm glad I did and I'll definitely be going back. The food is fantastic, nice atmosphere, and extremely friendly staff. If you're looking for Vietnamese food this is the place to go. The prices are good also.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very friendly, a nice clean restaurant.“

“This is my third time visit them and they always welcome me with the biggest smile and soft voices. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a big portion and packed in good quality Togo container. The ambiance is very clean, each table was set up far away so it looks so comfortable. The price is very reasonable too. I love when they refill my free drink without me asking for it.“

“Great food our go to spot for great food and excellent customer service. Never fails“

“This is the OG spot where the Vietnamese get their nuoc mia.

I come here every time I'm in OC.
I usually get the penny wort sugarcane (nuoc mia rau ma).
Bf orders the kumquat which is very flavorful.

Great price too! Their small sizes are $4-5.

Don't bother with cococane. This is where the locals go for their sugarcane.“

We had the duck tacos and pumpkin and prawn soup, which we would make a special trip back for. Manny was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal. Above and beyond service! There was live music with an amazing violinist and pianist. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Plus it's absolutely beautiful inside!“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“So..embarrassingly enough I used to watch strictly dumbling on youtube and saw this place, and thought why not try it. I did and for real it is so good I'm someone who don't mind both dry or soup versions. This place have the hands that make both tastes so delicious coming from someone who ate phuong, dry kitchen, ca can, grandpa's dry kitchen, and etc.“

“Omg this is my new favorite spot for Hu tieu nam vang! I got the dry version with rice noodles which came it to around $15. It was soo delicious and perfectly balanced. The sauce brings the whole dish together and love the pickled garlic! Broth was so good and comforting. The gentlemen taking our order was so friendly and upbeat. Definitely recommend!!“

“Everything we had here was delicious, including the Vietnamese coffee! Definitely coming back to try more!“

“Vietnamese Pho in California, delicious and irresistible flavor. The broth is rich, the meat is tender and fragrant. Affordable prices, suitable for students' budgets. The restaurant space is clean and airy. Staff serve quickly and enthusiastically.“

“After finding this gem 3 years ago, we've been religious about ordering their eggrolls for parties and potlucks'. They fry them fresh, prices are steal, pork and shrimp eggrolls are both delicious! They only take cash and be sure to place an order before you head out since they don't take ore orders!“

“The food was very good. The place is big but there are not many customers. Maybe it was during weekdays at night. But there were a few empty tables with leftover food from prior customers that weren't cleaning that made me lose a bit of appetite. There isn't a 3 and a half star rating so I rounded my rating to 4.“

“The catfish medium is good for 3 people and it’s so GOOD seriously!!! The porridge is just so so in my opinion. Will come again for its catfish.“

“It is a family owned restaurant serving yummy Vietnamese dishes that are vegan. We love this place. We tried almost everything and each is delicious. The service is a friendly mom and pop restaurant service. They are really accommodating what you need.“

“Fish was very crips and perfectly cooked!!! Will be back for sure!!!!!!!!!“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“Amazing texture on the egg noodles. You probably know this already but their noodles are made fresh every day. At this price-point, you cannot beat it for value. In addition, their duck noodles are also the best in town. The duck leg quarters are tender and delicious.“

“Good spot that’s 24 hours! Sister had pho and I had a beef plate with eggs that came out on sizzling platter. Also had Vietnamese coffee. Food was great service, well once food was ordered and dropped never had any further interaction. I wanted another coffee only nobody came to check up on us so it was never ordered. Food great and service not so good.“

“Northern style Vietnamese food, great for warm summer days! Very delicate steamed rice sheets to wrap a variety of meats , fish cakes, sprouts , fresh herbs with a light sweet, spicy fish sauce. Cubes of beef tartar w glass noodles topped with chili and fresh slice of garlic was good too! Must try“

“delicious and fast service“

“I have eaten here a few times and the food is honestly not bad. None of the dishes is the best around here, for example Pho Good across the street has better pho though Pho Hoan is still 2nd among the places I've eaten, one exception is pho satay since not many places sell it. Its advantage is that every dish is decent so you have a good variety to choose from.“

“We go to this place so much I think they need to have some point reward system for regulars like us. Our favorites from Thanh Son Tofu: Thai ice tea (best and cheapest in town), Pandan tofu pudding, soy jello, and fried mushrooms onions tofu. Ăn ngon, ăn sạch và ăn thanh đạm nha.“

“I have been going here for like at least 8 years.
They have everything I like the food is good quality.
Prices are good, the service is just fine.

I take all my friends that want to try Vietnamese food here. All I can say is that I have been happy for a very long time thanks to these guys“

“Wow. Just wow. How delicious is the house special soup? Or how about beef/pork ball soup? 10 out of 10. Just can't get enough of this place, and the staff is wonderful. Doesn't matter that I drive over 50 miles to come eat this amazing food. ?.“

“The new management is the brother of the previous owner and revamping their restaurant with a new experienced kitchen staff. New Happy Hour 2pm-5pm Mon-Fri special price for Bun Rieu Cua Dong, Cha Ca La Vong, Pho Bo Dac Biet, Bun Dau Thit Luoc Mam Tom, and Canh Bun Cua Dong.Bun Rieu Cua Dong - Field Crab Paste Vermicelli:As their most popular dish, my relative liked it especially the Cua Dong which was shaped like a ball and gave the Bun Rieu its uniqueness. The tofu, cha ca, vegetables, and broth compliment each other. The clay pot and the bun on a separate dish are both clever ideas.Bo Ne - Sizzling Steak on Skillet:I liked this dish as the steak was very soft at medium well done. It came with a bowl of salad with freshly cut cucumbers, tomatoes, and salad. It also came with bread which I dip with the steak sauce. I asked for butter to go with the bread but they don't have that. But the owner said they will add next time which is a good sign that they care about customer's feedback.Canh Bun Cua Dong - Field Crab Water Spinach Noodle Soup:My relative's wife liked the broth and everything in it. She said the rau muong was fresh/soft, the tofu is thinly sliced as well as the cha ca. And like the bun rieu dish, the Cua Dong made it different compared to other restaurants. She liked it even better than same dish at Quan Bun Ban Mai.Bot Chien Trung - Tempura Flour & Fried Eggs:We all shared this dish. It took some time for this dish to come out. But I learned that this dish is another of their specialty in which they have to cook it in a special way, hence the extra preparation time. Was it worth it? Definitely yes. It was still sizzling and I almost burn my tongue. I dip the flour in fish sauce and ate with the garnish Cu Cai Chua (Pickled Daikon?). What made this dish stand out is the fried onions which was made fresh, not from pre-packaged jar. I can see why it took longer to prepare this dish, a must try.There is plenty of parking, but is packed on weekends. The decor is very nice from the bamboo walls to the colorful lighting to the mellow music. It all made it a relaxing experience while enjoying the good food. The staff were very attentive and friendly. This restaurant will do well for sure.I will be back to try their Banh Xeo, ppl are raving about it.“

“Love decor and the best food“

“I only visit this restaurant for the Baked Catfish (Ca Nuong Da Gion) so I will review that dish only. The fish was amazing as it smells really good and very crunchy. I think this restaurant is one of the best restaurant to come for this dish and I highly recommend it. Though, I don't really like the dipping sauce as much as I think it is a bit too diluted with water so the taste was not strong enough. But overall, still enjoyed the fish with my family.
It was $58 for the whole fish, so it's a bit more expensive compared to the past.“

“I decided to try this place for the first time because I had heard good things from people I knew. This is the greatest chicken and rice with eggs mix I’ve ever had. The Thai Tea was beyond scrumptious, superb even. They need to give Chris a promotion because he passed the vibe checks and was working harder than anybody I’ve seen in a restaurant. I was able to taste the blood sweat and tears that was put into prepping my deviously delicious meal. I witnessed Chris at the register, counting cash and taking orders with such efficiency I was shook. I could see myself eating here everyday, which is possible with these magically glorious prices This place will be considered a classic in the restaurant industry, and it’s well deserved.“
