Com Bi Cha Thit Nuong (Rice dish with Charbroiled Beef or Pork, Baked Egg and Shredded Pork) - we opted for Charbroiled Pork, tender and flavorful. Rice was well seasoned with everything on top and was good texture. 121. Banh Hoi Thit Nuong Chao Tom Cha Gio (Vermicelli sheets with Charbroiled Pork, Imperial Roll, Shrimp Paste)- loved that the vermicelli sheets were served warm, game changer. Soo good, refreshing on a hot day but filling from the warmth.

I've been here for a good handful of times now, and just wanted to say the food and the staffs are…read morereally amazing. Been wanting to write a review about it. This plaza has gotten a lot more popular in the recent few years, which made the parking lot very challenging, given how small the parking lot. But worth it for visiting an excellent authentic Vietnamese restaurant such as this establishment. The restaurant itself is cozy. A lot of open ventilations. Floor to ceiling glass window for wall that opens up for air and breeze, which honestly makes dining in quite more enjoyable. Something I don't know how many people realize. It's busy enough to be lively, but not too crazy enough for a long wait. At least not personally every time. Hats off to the chef, owner, and the staffs for making this business fun and enjoyable. I don't know the name of the owner, who I believe goes around and checks on the customers every time I visit. Also, another staff, Marie, who always serves my friends and I, is one amazing person! Very engaging and fun to interact with! One of the best employee (sorry if you are actually one of the managers) I ever met. I actually don't need to say anything much about the food because everything I've tried was great! You can't go wrong with anything at this place. Around San Gabriel or even the greater area, this place has been my top favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the recent years, and counting!

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.

The decors were cool. We signed in to the waiting list. Waited outside and before long, we were called in and got our table. The staffs were courteous and friendly. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that also serve Chinese Foods. They have two sets of menus. One for Vietnamese dishes and the other one for Chinese dishes. Both menus offer a variety of selections. They even have Set Dinner Menu that comes with pre-set items. Have to give that a try one day. We ended up ordering the Bún Bò Huế and the Vietnamese Braised Fish. The Braised Fish did not come with steam rice, so we had to order the steam rice. For the drinks, we had the Peach Oolong Iced Tea and the 3-Colored Dessert. The Bún Bò Huế was very good. The Braised Fish was a little salty but still tasted good. The Peach Oolong Iced Tea was refreshing. The 3-Colored Dessert was very yummy. I enjoyed the sweet taste of it. They gave us orange slices for dessert on the house. The orange slices were so sweet and delicious. Will be back to try their other dishes I saw on their menus.

There are very few Vietnamese restaurants that I've come across growing up in the SGV that offer…read morethe fermented fish vermicelli soup (aka bun mam) but Golden Delight does! This soup is so pungent that the only time I get to savor it is at home and the stink doesn't leave your home for a few days. So, it is to my delight that they offer it here during the weekdays. It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.

I've tried a lot of food here, but the items I keep coming back for are their grilled pork (nem nuong) spring rolls and bun bo hue.

Their bun bo hue always hits the spot when I'm craving it without having to drive further out.

Com Tam is decent, rice texture is on point. Pork chop is marinated well but not enough lemongrass flavor, tender and not dry at all. Baked egg was good but not amazing, seemed like it missing shredded wood ear mushroom. Che Ba Mau by far hands down the worst I've had. Red bean wasn't soft, outer shell/skin was still pretty tough. Not much mung bean either after stirring it literally for about 4 seconds the mung bean basically disintegrated into the liquid. The liquid.. watered down skim milk, not a trace of coconut flavor anywhere. I didn't know you can mess up Che Ba Mau until I had it from here.

We parked on the curb and were greeted right away when we walked in. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: #219 Bun Rieu, $13.49 prior to tax- I love bun rien and always order it if it is on the menu because I do not see it on the menu at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. 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.

I've only dined in a few times because it's always crowded and usually has a long wait, so I typically order my food to go. I enjoy both the combination pho and the chicken pho. The broth is rich and flavorful, and their egg rolls are also very good. On my last visit, I ordered a rice plate with pork chop, egg rolls, and shrimp paste. The dish was tasty. The pork chop was well seasoned and tender. They included two egg rolls and two pieces of shrimp paste, which I thought was generous. I just wish the pork chop portion had been a little larger. The rice was also delicious and had a buttery flavor. The meal was enough for two people to share. Prices are a bit higher compared to other pho restaurants, but the food quality is consistently good. Customer service was great. I placed my order online, and it was ready when I arrived.
