    Daily special (except holidays)
    Allen C.

    Good price for the daily special, but I think the portion is reduced. Decent taste, the cashier is slow but the noodle comes out fast. Very casual eating area.

    One of my favorite Vietnamese to go and dessert places. I visited this location and the selection looks great and delicious. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This was my first time coming to this location, so this review is solely based on my experience for the Super Bowl weekend. My partner, I came here thinking that it wouldn't be so packed, but it was packed packed. I'm giving them five stars because I was really impressed with how they handled the chaos. They had so many catering orders. And none of them were small. And I mean, eggrolls on top of eggrolls, and sandwiches in front of top of sandwiches. It was pretty crazy. It was also a bonus for me, because now I know how all of the food looks like in real time lol. Which is YUMMY!! I just wanna give props to all the women who were behind the cooking and handling everything. Kudos to them kicking ash!!

    Thai Tea
    Erik G.

    My friend treated us to some Thai teas and banh mis, and they weren't very good. This place seems to be on the lower end when it comes to the quality of food and drinks. I wouldn't be rushing back here, as there are plenty of other options in town. I might visit again if I'm in the area, but it's not a place I'm eager to return to.

    9/28/25 Sunday Stopped by to grab some spring rolls and coffee on my way to a flight. The coffee is pretty strong. I had to let some of the ice melt before drinking it. There was a lot of ice, but you get what you pay for. Affordable, quick, and convenient. A great place to stop by in a pinch if you're not a picky eater. Indoor seating only. We parked in the street but there is a parking lot.

    Their Vietnamese sandwiches and cold noodles are pretty tasty. They also serve different types of pho and hot/cold noodles for dine-in and takeouts. Language barrier is a common issue here, so pay attention to your order number when they call it out and order by the item number listed on their menu might be useful.

    Great fast service, if you're ordering your food to go. Lots of tables to dine in compared to the Alhambra location.

    Soup specials every day of the week
    Paola M.

    I've been here a few times I enjoy their food and their prices are pretty decent. The service can be good sometimes but can be better. It all depends what cashier is there. The place needs some TLC inside with cleanliness and their ac needs some maintenance it was hot on Sunday afternoon when I was there. It felt humid inside. This location can get really busy so patience is key. They have soup specials every day of the week. Definitely a must try!

    Banh Mi Che Cali offers a variety of Vietnamese food to go. I like the Bun Rieu, sandwiches and other pre-made soups in the refrigerator. The service is quick and staff is helpful. The ambiance is casual, similar to other grab-and-go place. They do accept credit card.

    Hot Steamed Roll
    Kay M.

    Came on Sunday for their $9.50 Wonton Noodle Soup special. There were 6 wontons. Unfortunately the filling was disappointing. Typically wontons contain shrimp. The filling tasted like pork. There was a lot MSG in the soup. Came with bean sprouts, green chili slices, and a wedge of lime. You will get full though.

    Bun rieu
    Bea R.

    Great spot for a quick lunch. They have daily specials that are all less than $10! The food is so good and comforting. It's a clean store and the employee in the dining area is always keeping up with the tables during a lunch rush. Cashier is super friendly. Easy parking in the rear or on the street.

The portions can feed two people and the staff is on top of it. Took my Vietnamese family from OC for dinner once and my picky mom said it's better than a couple of restaurants in OC. If she can say that then I know it's very good haha. Stopped by for dinner this past Monday and it was incredibly busy but the wait went quick. I have yet to branch out of the pho/hu tieu/com tam sections yet but I seen banh hoi and bun bo hue from other tables and they look delicious. Makes me want to go back already! Standard no-nonsense restaurant ambiance and tables are pretty packed together. Would like extra room but it didn't take away from the meal anyway. Parking can be bigger now that they're picking up even more traction. I've been lucky every time to not have to find street parking but just be ready.

    If you're looking for a bun bo hue fix, this is the spot. I called in an order for two bowls--one…read morefor me and one for my mom--since this dish is the main reason I keep coming back. The broth is perfectly seasoned and really ties the whole bowl together. I always ask to skip the blood cubes and opt for extra pig's feet instead, which they handle perfectly. The ratio of tender meat to fresh vegetables balances the noodles beautifully, and the satay is an absolute must-add to hit that savory umami flavor profile. All in all, I have no complaints. It's an incredibly satisfying meal, especially after a long night out with friends.

    Pretty Trang tasty. Get it?!…read more Today, I stopped by for a Bon Rieu, Nem Cuom, and a House Special iced tea. Service: Service was short and the entire wait took 5 minutes. That's right, 5 minutes. Although I did go around 9:50AM so there wasn't a line nor another party in the dining area. Food: I woke up craving Vietnamese and this place didn't disappoint. The Bon Rieu had the depth of flavor that I crave. Honestly, I judge most Vietnamese pho restaurants by their Bon Rieu because some places simply use seafood powder in their stock to fake it. What results is a very thinly flavored broth that has very little umami. Bon Rieu should have THE MOST umami of any soup dish because of its tomato and crab base. That's how you can tell if a place is cutting corners. The Nem Cuom is huge and the dipping sauce is generous. The House Special Tea is reminiscent of a passion fruit green tea from a boba place. Sweetened just enough to not be saccharine. Ambiance: Quite small. I believe one of their main issues may be parking during peak hours as it shares a tiny parking lot with many other businesses. HOWEVER, neighborhood parking is plentiful and just around the corner past the Sheridan Hotel and Starbucks. Round the corner and you'll find plenty of parking throughout the day.

Lots of regulars in the restaurant it seemed. On this night , there were short staffed and I had to remind my server about my order a few times. The manager came out to apologize. She was a very good manager and handled things well. She offered me a discount, but I refused. Instead, she gave me a refreshing watermelon drink on the house. I will come back, next time I'm in town.

    Delicious food and quick service!! The restaurant is bright and spacious, love how modern…read moreeverything feels. We ordered the nem with Vietnamese grilled pork sausage (3 pcs), charbroiled sliced pork, and egg rolls after noticing almost every table ordering it. It definitely lived up to the hype, so delicious and huge portions to feed 2-3 people. My new first choice for Vietnamese food in the 626 area!

    New Location, Same Curiosity!…read more Decided to give this newer location a try since our first visit to Golden Delight was years ago. I wanted to try their rice noodle soup with a mix of egg noodles and rice noodles, and let me just say... the picture speaks a thousand words. What arrived looked quite different from what was advertised on the menu. Although most of the ingredients were there, it definitely wasn't as pretty or as generously presented as the photos. Rice Noodle Soup (Egg Noodles + Rice Noodles Mixed) Rating: 6.8/10 The soup itself actually wasn't bad! The broth was light, clean, and nicely seasoned without being too heavy. While I enjoyed trying something different, it isn't a dish I'd order again on my next visit. Now let me warn you about their sauté sauce... It is PACKED with flavor but also seriously spicy! I made the mistake of adding a little too much to my noodle soup, and let's just say my taste buds definitely woke up. A little goes a long way, so add it slowly! The restaurant itself is very modern, clean, and has a trendy fusion vibe that makes for a nice dining experience. As much as I appreciate the updated atmosphere, I always find myself gravitating back toward the more traditional, authentic-style Vietnamese restaurants when I'm craving comfort food. Service Unfortunately, the service on our Sunday visit was probably the biggest downside. Our waitress wasn't very friendly and didn't seem interested in explaining the menu when we had a few questions. Instead, she came across as if she was in a rush the entire time, and her overall attitude felt a bit off-putting. It honestly made us feel like we were inconveniencing her just by asking questions. Great service can really elevate a meal, and unfortunately, this experience did the opposite. Between that and the food, it's another reason I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return to this location. Overall, it was a nice spot to try once, but next time I'll probably explore a different dish--and maybe a different location. Happy eats!

Bun Rieu is a rice noodle soup that is flavored with tomatoes, shrimp paste, fish sauce and a meat broth (usually pork). The meatballs in this dish is typically made with crab, egg and usually pork. This dish was flavorful and delicious. The portion size was more than plenty for one person. #20 Com Tam Suon Nuong (Broken Rice with Grilled Pork Chop), $12.49 prior to tax- This meal came with a bowl of soup. My husband ordered this dish and he enjoyed it. I thought the grilled pork chop was tender and flavorful. This dish also comes with a steamed egg patty/ cake. I found it to be a little too salty to my liking but my husband enjoyed it. We both thought the soup was seasoned perfectly and was flavorful. ---------------------------------- (Total= $28.71 after tax, prior to tip) Service was friendly but minimal. Overall, we had a good dining experience and I would come here again.

It's a small family run…read moreVietnamese restaurant that's been around since the '80s, and it's easy to see why it's always busy. If you're in the SGV or surrounding areas this place is a must try!!! The restaurant is small but busy, it's lined with booths and shared tables. Nothing fancy, the food is the reason why people come. The staff is friendly, fast and keeps everything running smoothly. The menu is huge, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I've never had a bad meal here. My favorites are the pork chop over rice, the beef banh mi and tom thit kho with dry egg noodles and broth on the side. Everyone loves the pho here but I haven't gotten around to trying it. The crispy egg rolls pair well with everything. Make sure to wrap them in lettuce and dip them in nuoc cham and you'll see why they're a must try. No reservations so expect a wait. Get there early to avoid the long line. They're open everyday from 10am to 8pm, except Wednesdays. Parking in the shopping center can be tough but there is plenty of street parking nearby. They have a second location in Temple City but I'd stick to the OG San Gabriel location. Try Golden Deli for amazing Vietnamese food at a reasonable price.
