Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine - The mural inside - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Met a friend here for lunch on her recommendation. Yelp reviews were good. Nice clean, sparse decor. We shared the Gỏi Cuốn Tôm (Shrimp summer rolls) to start. Two large rolls with scissors to cut in half. They were refreshing with a chunky peanut sauce for dipping. Flavor was OK. Was really looking forward to their signature dish, Bún Bò Huế, (Spicy beef noodle soup). It was OK, Nothing really wowed me. It is popular and the restaurant was full by the time we left. We did have to wave down the server to get the bill. read more

Like other location, I think the Bun Bo Hue is the best on the menu. Pho is clean and great for a cold day. The bun is a bit of a mix bag for me because while the filet mignon is tasty, the nuoc mam is a bit bland for our taste. This is usually an easy go-to option for lunch for us if we're in the area. If you're comparing prices with the rest of 626, it is higher, but definitely normal for Pasadena. read more

Parking: they have an immediate parking lot near them but just park at the schoolhouse garage for $1 for 90 mins. It's a 5 min walk. After having Nha Trang a couple times I've come to appreciate the quality of their pho and rice. Service was okay, it was probably the weakest part, but it was by no means bad. Restaurant is clean and well spaced. The pho tai is delicious. For broth it's one of the better ones I've had where I didn't have to add much to get it to where I want it. The quality of the beef is noticeable if you've been to other restaurants. For the price you are definitely getting a really good bowl of pho and it's my favorite spot in pasadena. I wish they had the thick noodles as an option but it's okay. The unlimited passion fruit was really great, but I drank it quickly and it took some time for the servers to notice and I've had to flag for refills a couple times. To be fair most people won't drink water or their drinks as fast as I do so it's not really a complaint. read more

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Dined in with a group of 5 for lunch around 2:00 pm. It was empty, only a few tables. Parking: You can park at the School House Garage for $1.00 for the first 2 hours. It is only a 4 minute walk. Bathroom: Only one shared bathroom Food: we ordered the Bun Bo Hue and shrimp and taro eggrolls! Bun Bo Hue: 3.5/5, not as flavorful as the Nha Trang on Valley. My soup was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't as spicy even when I added the chili paste on the side. It is pricer but I like how there's unlimited noodles. Though, you cannot take the soup with noodles home if you order the extra noodles. They give you a side of vegetables, but when you ask for another order, they told us no. Shrimp and taro eggrolls: 4.5/5, crispy, crunchy, and great flavor with the taro! I loved the flavor especially when dipped in their sauce. read more

Quick service and tasty food! This is my first time having pho so I got the pho ga (chicken noodle with beef broth I think). It was really good and filling. They came to refill the waters multiple times and accommodated our small but loud group. Parking was pretty easy among the side streets and garages, all paid parking from what I saw. Would go again! read more

I dare to say that this is the best pho spot in Pasadena. First, the broth is rich and deep but not greasy like other pho spots. It definitely didn't give me that strong urge for water 30mins after finishing my food. Iykyk. They also don't skimp on the meat quality and quantity! Look at those portions :D Egg rolls seem to be made in house and were v tasty. The restaurant is clean/spacious and service was prompt/kind. I will definitely be back for more!!! read more

This is one of my favorite places in the world! I eat here minimum once a week. All of their vegan options are incredible, highly recommend the vegan pho, and they are so sweet. Service is amazing! I always find a good spot and the ambiance is comforting! Do not miss this spot! So reasonably priced, they make their own incredible chili oil and they have rau ma! read more

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine - Veggie Pho / Vegetable Noodle Soup with Vegetable Broth - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

My wife and I had a positive first experience dining here at Nha Trang. We were walking around Old Town Pasadena and decided on some Vietnamese food. Upon arrival we were greeted immediately and staff allowed us to sit where we pleased. We felt welcome the entire time. The location has memorable artwork and designs along the walls. The menu is minimal and straight to the point. They offer pho, noodle salads, traditional Vietnamese appetizers and drinks. We decided on trying the Bun Bo Hue soup. It's priced at $16.99. We had never tried this dish before and we were throughly satisfied. Their BBH soup was flavorful and not too spicy. The broth was savory and aromatic. I would love to try more BBH soup moving forward after trying Nha Trang's version. Nha Trang is a solid choice for traditional Vietnamese cuisine if you find yourself in Old Town Pasadena. read more

Was in the mood for soup and was surprised to see Nha Trang location in Pasadena. I've had their food at another location before, so i was familiar with it. What i wasn't familiar with, were the prices. lol I mean, it's not that I didn't see the prices before hand, but for just two bowls of noodles , came out to 50$ after tip. To me, that is a bit inflated. Food tasted fine but I wouldn't be rush to come back or ever. If your pockets can justify the price, more power to you, but you can definitely drive a little further and get something much more affordable and tastier. read more

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of Pasadena. I was craving pho, saw the reviews, and wanted to try it for myself--and was pleasantly delighted. Both the pho dac biet and bun bo hue (one of their speciality) taste authentic and delicious. The broth is light but flavorful, and the portion size is just right for me. I was actually able to finish the bowl and feel satisfied afterwards. The meat in the pho wasn't particularly memorable, but the soup made up for it. Parking was easy to find on the street on a Saturday for lunch. There's also a parking structure right next door as well. Service was pretty good, and the restaurant is very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend giving this place a shot! read more

Got here on a Saturday around 5:30pm and got seated right away! First of all, love the interior - vibrant and colorful wall that celebrates the restaurant's cultural heritage. Got the Bun Bo Hue and added blood cakes - asked for non spicy! Very flavorful and I absolutely love the beef - so tender but retains the meaty flavor! The portion is very decent and I was craving for thick noodles and this one definitely delivers! Service was amazing! If you are in old town Pasadena, this is a great Vietnamese spot to try! read more

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine - Dinner with Friends! - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

Located in Old Town Pasadena, Nha Trang Vietnamese restaurant is a popular spot for Vietnamese soups. I came here specifically during Dine LA week, when they had a generous $25 pre fixe menu. Had their crab and pork eggrolls, their bun bo hue soup, and passion fruit tea. The passion fruit tea was refreshing on a 98 degree day. Compared to pho, bun bo hue is a richer, spicier broth with nice beef, pork, lemongrass flavor. Add in the herbs that they give on the side for some extra bumps of flavor. My friend went with their pho and he really enjoyed it. I also ordered their nem nuong spring roll and I like that it was full of herbs and they had a little bit of the fried egg roll wrapper on the inside for a textural crunch. I think the value of their dine LA menu was unmatched and, overall, I feel that Nha Trang is a good option for Vietnamese food. I would definitely come back for their spring rolls and their teas; however, my preferred Vietnamese spots have more assertive flavor in their broths and nuoc mam/sauces. read more

We were all wondering what to get for dinner in the area, and this Vietnamese spot totally delivered!! This is their second location, and it definitely lives up to the hype!! I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, which is their spicy beef noodle soup and is a family specialty. It was so good. It comes with both beef and pork in a spicy lemongrass broth. The noodles were thick vermicelli and cooked just right. The broth was definitely a little spicy for me, but still very flavorful and totally manageable. The meat was super tender and just added more flavor and depth to the meal. We also got the eggrolls, which is the best appetizer to get with pho. They came out hot and crispy so you'll want to let them cool down before digging in!! Prices are pretty decent for what you get, and the portions are solid. I'd definitely give this place a 5 stars. Great spot if you're looking for a hearty, satisfying Vietnamese pho meal!! read more

This Vietnamese spot felt fairly average to me. Its high ratings might be due to a lack of other options in downtown Pasadena. I was genuinely impressed by the free noodle refills, and the broth itself was decent. Also, I though the pork spring roll with the crunchy egg roll (in the center) was another highlight! However, I was disappointed with the lime soda. It tasted quite watery, and the sugar crystals hadn't dissolved, so I had to crunch them at the bottom to get any sweetness. read more

A solid Vietnamese spot in Old Town Pasadena. My friends and I ordered the egg rolls and a few different pho dishes. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, and the dipping sauce was really good. The pho came in a good-sized portion with a light, clean broth, and the brisket was tender and juicy. My only takeaway is that it's a bit pricey for Vietnamese food. That said, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was solid overall--just expect Pasadena pricing. read more

Modern restaurant. Seems quite new. Staff very attentive and it's great to finally have Vietnamese food in Pasadena. Wasn't too busy on a weekday for lunch. Shrimp eggrolls were good to start and their house made fish sauce was a hit for me. It wasn't overly salty or fishy. I can't speak for the food our friends had but we were all satisfied and fairly pleased. My filet mignon vermicelli noodles were good. I appreciate it all being less greasy than most. And I'm glad there's a good spot in Pasadena. Yes, I'd come back. Metered street parking or paid parking structures all around. Clean restaurant with a good ambience for a casual yet refreshing dining experience. read more

Since I was craving die Vietnamese food for lunch and this place was as close to authentic as I can find in Pasadena. I will take it. This place was busy and crowded during lunch hours!

Overall, their selections are pretty good. read more

I actually enjoyed this location more than the original spot in San Gabriel! Definitely the best bun bo hue spot, anything else isn't too bad but definitely get the bun bo hue here. This spot is MUCH nicer than that of the original location in SG. They have a good amount of tables and I didn't have to wait at all on a Friday night. Food wise I felt the flavors were better than I remembered. They make authentic bun bo hue and I would recommend paying extra for the blood because it is super fresh. I would totally be back at this location for quality BBH. Parking - Many parking structures nearby or limited street parking around. read more

I ordered the bun bo hue and pork egg rolls. The egg rolls are great and the bun bo hue is filling with a good amount of meat. Something to note: if you dine in and end up getting a refill of noodles, that voids your chance of taking any leftovers home. They advertise free unlimited noodle refills but read the fine print because once you opt in, the "not available for takeout" applies to your entire meal lol even egg rolls (this was not super clear imo) read more

The ambience was OK. Nothing too exciting. Service was great. There wasn't much to choose from on the menu, which would've been fine but the option options they had weren't so great. It like the authentic Vietnamese flavors My daughter didn't care for it, but my son thought the food was great. We all had more than half left over and did not take it home because it wasn't worth the flavors to eat the next day. Their spring roll on the other hand was good. We got the shrimp spring roll without pork and their peanut sauce was nice and thick. Overall, I'd say I would give this a three star and not a four however, since my son liked it, I went with the four star. read more

My girlfriend and I were craving some delicious Pho on a cold winter night and stopped in to discover the amazing Nha Trang culinary delight. We were welcomed by a friendly woman, whom we later found out was the owner, in a very light, bright spacious interior decorated for the holidays. When we entered around 6pm, there were about four people inside. Once we sat and looked over the menu, the place slowly filled up with 15-20 more patrons. The menu is straight forward and full of Vietnamese classics. On this occasion, my girl went with the Pho Ga (Chicken Noodle with Beef Soup), while I went with the Pho Bo Vien (Meatball Beef Noodle Soup). We also ordered a three-piece starter, the Cha Gio Cua (Pork and Crab Egg Rolls). For drinks, we kept it simple with water and hot black tea. As the restaurant quickly filled to near capacity, we noticed other employees, some of which were family, jump in to assist the rush. Our egg rolls were delivered within 10 minutes of ordering and came out very hot and very fresh. We had to wait several minutes for the temperature to go down, or else risking a visit to the ER with upper mouth skin burns. Once I was able to nibble a small amount and confirm a manageable temperature, we were met with an outstanding egg roll. Great outer crunch, crispy, with the inside ingredients totally delicious and without any kind of sogginess. The accompanying sweet and sour was also quite yummy, not too sweet, with a slight amount of heat. A few minutes later, two very large bowls were delivered to our table. The presentation was amazing, very large bowls of noodles, perfectly seasoned broth, and all of the traditional vegetable additions featured in any Vietnamese restaurant. My girlfriend said her soup was quite delicious. As far as my Pho Bo Vien goes, it was outstanding. The meatballs were tender and delicious and the noodles were amazing! Also, little pro tip - you can ask for free refills on noodles while you dine in! Pace your noodle and broth ratio, however, as there is no refills on the broth. A free refill on noodles is a definite perk on top of very reasonable prices. Overall, Nha Trang is a great Pho spot in Downtown Pasadena. Conveniently located near a parking garage, this spot is great to enjoy individually or with a small group. Wonderful staff, great food, clean restrooms. read more

Spring rolls were good. Thoughtful of them to include scissors on the plate. Heard the pho was tasty but I didn't try any. Free noodle refills are a plus too. My filet mignon vermicelli was kinda whatever. I did not like the flavor of the meat at all. Had to douse the beef in fish sauce. Maybe they need a different meat or method of cooking it. Self serve to go boxes available. Ask staff for sauce containers. Parking garages nearby. read more

Stumbled upon this place after work and all the usual spots were closed. So glad that we were able to try this place out.

While my first visit here was worthy of 5 stars due to the delicious food and excellent service, I can't say the same about my second visit today. While the food was still good, the customer service was non-existent and it seemed as though the waitress felt the same about me. She was nice enough when I arrived, but acted as though I was invisible the entire time I was there. She never checked to make sure everything was good, if I needed more water or tea - nothing. And when I initially ordered, I mentioned that I'd want to add extra noodles to my pho at some point. And it's not like the place was packed. There were only a couple other customers there, and at one point, I was the only one. I knew she saw me when she tended to someone that had just sat down, but still didn't acknowledge me. She was more interested in sitting down and being on her phone than providing decent customer service, and which was very disappointing. I was considering ordering more food, but didn't want to spend more money than I already had. Not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon now. read more

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine is bringing some authentic Vietnamese flare to the Pasadena area! This family-owned spot has its original location in San Gabriel and recently opened another location in Old Town Pasadena. To get here, there are some parking garages nearby or street parking all around. Inside, they have a nice and clean modern interior with about 8-10 tables for seating. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner around 7pm and were seated right away. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different appetizers, noodle, and rice dishes. We opted to get a spread of the Nem Cuon (Pork Sausage Spring Rolls), Pho Dac Biet (Combination Pho), and the Bun Bo Hue. Everything we had was authentic, delicious, fragrant, and hit the spot! Overall, this spot is definitely a welcome addition to the area! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Another plus is that they also give free refills for their soup noodle dishes. Come stop by and support this awesome AAPI family-owned business whenever you are in the area. Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine is Viet gang approved! read more

Love the Bun Bo Hue! This is actually one of my fav spots for it. Since I'm always going between Pasadena and Westminster I can tell you that this is some good pho. Service varies on server. When the owners are working they are great! Some days are slow here so you'll be in and out fast. Some days you gotta wait for a table to be cleaned. Parking is next door, they don't validate. read more

My friend recommended this place for lunch and I recall seeing social media posts of this location when it first opened. First off, staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, which I really appreciated. We ordered the Pork and shrimp rolls, along with a bun bo hue. The bun bo hue came with raw vege to be added, giving a nice texture to the meal. The broth was savory and delicious, and very welcoming on a cold day. The meat was also tender and hearty. An enjoyable meal that's worth a visit if you are lost on where to grab a bite to eat. Interior was spacious and clean. Will return! read more

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine - My order - Beef Brisket Noodle Soup w/ a side of Chili oil. - Noodles Near Me - Pasadena, California

We've been eyeing this spot so close to us in Pasadena and finally made the walk over! It's bright and clean inside. The artwork and decor is really nice and I think they may have gotten new menus but it was really easy to read/understand. Simple menu with soup noodles like pho and BBH, dry vermicelli noodles, broken rice, and some spring roll for apps. I opted for the BBH. Something to note is that pork blood is extra $1.50 to add to your BBH. The menu also says there is unlimited noodle refills if you'd like. Price is reasonable at $17. The bowls are pretty large and they give you the paste on the side. We loved the paste and added probably like 3 of them to give our broth some deeper flavor. The pork feet piece is on the smaller side but cooked really well where it's super gelatinous and tender. Overall, a good bowl of BBH and we're happy to have a spot to go to in Pasadena! read more

I haven't dined in here yet, but I've ordered from here multiple times when I'm craving Vietnamese food. To me, there aren't many good Vietnamese spots in Pasadena and when I first moved here I was sad about it! I'm happy that Nha Trang opened up because it's now my go-to! I've ordered the Beef Pho and the Chicken Pho. I really enjoy the broth that they have even on its own without all the typical pho fix-ins. The Chicken Pho comes with this I believe ginger sauce? I'm not too sure what it is but it's really good and I like the tang it adds when I dip the chicken in it! Definitely need to dine-in eventually and want to try their drinks as well! read more

Stopped by for dinner! On a Sunday night was pretty full but people were seated and served quickly. Each table has the condiments and utensils much like other Vietnamese hole in the wall noodle shops. You can choose the disposable bamboo or reusable hard plastic chopsticks. We got the brisket pho and filet mignon cold noodles. The pho soup had a clean taste and was great slurping to the last drop and meat was tender. The cold noodles were refreshing but could use more veggies! Prices are around $17 per entree so on the higher end for Vietnamese but it's priced right for Old Pasadena. read more
