I was looking for something close for take out but was tired of the usual Lakewood mall selection when I finally decide to look up this place. I'm vegetarian and I had a nice fresh healthy dinner with lemongrass vermicelli with tofu and tofu spring rolls. I suppose it's kind of hard to mess up tofu but my food was good and had noodle dish had good flavor, but I added some sambal olek when I got home. I can't speak for other things on their wide menu but if you want some Vietnamese, seafood, pho, or vegan/vegetarian I think it's worth trying especially if you're in the local area. read more

The server was really sweet and attentive, and I've eaten here before under the old management, so I didn't realize it had changed ownership because the decor is still mostly the same. I did notice the restaurant seemed a lot more cluttered and less clean than before -- random items in corners, painter's tape with handwritten labels on bottles and containers, etc. The server did a great job and was very pleasant, but unfortunately the food was not good at all this time around. read more

The good: I tried the pho noodle soup with 2 types of meat, seafood chow fun and bun thit nuong (grilled pork). Their menu offers so many options including Cajun seafood. The interior has a seafood/fishing theme with nets, fake crabs and lobsters. The bad: My husband said his bun thit nuong dish had half the meat he expected. The seafood chow fun was slightly mild in flavor. It lacked that wok aroma and char. It was dark inside. I'm unsure why they didn't turn the lights on. The interesting: You get free egg rolls if you write a review on Google. They don't have outdoor seating but this is common for Vietnamese restaurants. read more

All around good experience. Food was great. Spring rolls were okay but the chow fun was great, really filling. Passion fruit was something new. Tajin (i think) was an interesting twist. Food took a minute but came out hot. Every part of every dish was fresh and it was obviously made to order. Vegetables were crunchy, noodles were tasty everything was steaming. The store was calm. I think it was kpop or something. Still good energy. Generally didn't expect everything to be this good. Very good option for Asian food. read more

Disappointed. The seafoods cajun was not all that great. Different & weird taste. My bf got soft chow fun with seafoods & wasn't much seafood. My cajun french fries came out super late & it wasn't great. Place was clutter & dark. Don't think we going to come here again. read more

The food is so good. We live right around the corner and should have tried this place out sooner. The pho had amazing flavor, great broth. The sea food boil is a must try. read more

I was shocked to see this restaurant charge for something as basic as water. We were charged for both "water with lemon" and even plain ice water. Charging customers for tap water and a few lemon slices feels unnecessarily greedy, especially when we had already ordered over $85 worth of food before tax and service charge. What made it worse is that it comes across as incredibly desperate. Charging for ice water and lemon water is not something you expect from a restaurant that values customer service. It feels like an attempt to squeeze every possible dollar out of customers, no matter how small the amount. The food was okay, but these extra charges left a bad impression and made me feel nickel-and-dimed. It's not about the money--it's about the principle. Most restaurants provide water as a basic courtesy. Seeing charges for ice water and lemon water on the bill made the experience feel more focused on collecting extra fees than providing good hospitality. To top it off, an 18% service charge was already added to the bill. Between the service charge and being charged for water, the overall experience felt disappointing and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, I won't be returning because of this practice. read more

Saigon Hoa Pasteur - Prices are good and affordable - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, California

2026 Review. 01.18.2026 2nd time here. I gave it a 5 star in 2025, today it lost 1 star.. Still my favorite Pho restaurant in the city of Lakewood. This time around ordered Pho with Ribs, Rice and Egg rolls. Nothing short on the taste and flavor. All very good! Taste is fresh. The only complaint I have for this visit is the service. Our waiter was very slow today as well as the chef. It was noon time and only a few people there. Our waters were not served until 15 minutes later. We received our foods but it took 45 mins. That is too long of a wait. Need to work on Service at a timely manner. Need to hire more workers. Lucky I was not in a rush at this visit. Plenty of parking with clean restrooms. I will come again. They close late too. read more

Sometimes you just have to leave LA and go to OC for great Viet food. Passing through i wanted a flavorful spicy lemongrass tofu dish so a vermicelli was on my mind. Added 2 spoonfuls of their chili oil sauce (nicely thick sauce), i mixed the noodles, fried tofu, green onions, nuts, lemongrass mix annnd ohh yasss. Excellent. This is the way. read more

We've had pho delivered from here twice. Both times my wife has had the filet mignon pho. I've had steak and brisket, and brisket and meatballs. The food has arrived quickly and hot. All of the pho sides were included. Great service. Their pho broth is rich and quite frankly, amazing. It is not too salty at all. Lovely rich beef flavor. It's my favorite close place. Very good pho here. read more

I came here for lunch after leaving work to get that soul healing pho. The pho was just right! Satisfied my soul. The broth was perfect. The spring rolls came just before the pho, and they were great. The rolls were fresh and crisp. The thai tea was mostly milk, so I was sad about that. I was the only patron at the time and my water was never refilled. Other than that, it was great trying out this place. Looking forward to coming back to try their cajun items! read more

Boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this place out and it did not disappoint. We ordered mussels, pho, and a pound of cajun shrimp and everything was delicious! We'd come back just for the sauce the shrimp was in alone. The staff was also so nice. Will definitely become regulars here! read more

Pho is good, spring rolls are ok. I don't like the sneaky charge for 1$ for water with lemon, when my water didn't have lemon. Thats all. I like to eat at places where I can trust they wont over charge or try to pull a fast one. read more

Saigon Hoa Pasteur - Pho brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, California

Fresh but much smaller portions than standard. The meat was a little frosty but still tender and the broth tastes great. I understand no one is going to do it like where I grew up in Westminster/ "Little Saigon" but at least it was fresh. Still a good option, although We Love Pho II still proves the rule that the place with a number in the name is always the best pho place in town. Pho Daily is closer to me but should be avoided as they always serve slimy rotten toppings if you order to go and inconsistent portions on top of that. read more

I'm always excited then saddened when a new restaurant opens in this space, because it is very challenging for them to stay open and I really want Saigon Hoa Pasteur to make it. I was feeling under the weather and didn't want to dine out, but I wanted soup and some spice to help me feel better. I loved the food that we got: Pho with steak and flank, 9/10, then the vermicelli with egg roll and chicken, 10/10 and the Bahn Mi with pork and fries 10/10. The food was fantastic but getting it as take out was a mistake. The Pho broth wasn't hot enough to cook the beef and we had to reheat it on the stove and there was way too much packaging. There were lots of sides that were delicious, but added to the packaging. I didn't want to spread my cold, but I wish we had eaten there except for the ambiance, which was not the best. When I go out I either: read if I'm by myself, or converse with my party. I definitely do not need to see/hear cartoons screaming at me, or any news programming at all. This is not a sports bar. If you must have the televisions on, show beautiful scenes of Southeast Asia or relaxing nature with ambient music. Since there's a seafood theme even beaches and the ocean would be nice. The service was prompt and efficient. I'm sure it would be for dining in as well, which is what I would do next time, unless the TVs are showing news/cartoons. In that case I'm moving on. read more

It's a local Pho and crawfish spot near Costco, so you know I had to try it. I got both + fries and it was...normal. It hits the spot if you're nearby and need a fix. I don't crave this type of food often, so when it does hit me, I'd rather drive out further to eat at better spots. Something weird did happen was some confusion on an order that never came out. When we decided to cancel it, they thought they had served it already. They were nice about it so, NO WORRIES! We went on a Sunday, around 4pm. A couple other tables were taken. Casual chill vibe. read more

Went on a Thursday evening around 7pm and was able to be seated right away. The chef seemed to be giving away complimentary pork and shrimp egg rolls that night, which is very kind. He walked around to check on his guests as well. I got the vermicelli noodles with lemongrass tofu. The tofu was tasty and cooked well. It could have come with some more noodles. Mixed with everything (bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, etc), it was a light but tasty dish! It also comes with your choice of fish or soy sauce. For its size, it may be a little pricey read more

We were delighted to discover a Vietnamese restaurant right next door. My wife and I visited it on Monday to check it out. The restaurant was still in its soft opening phase, and it had nine different tables grouped inside. There was also outdoor seating, but there was a sign indicating that customers needed to make a reservation first. The restaurant was clean and well-stocked with all the necessary condiments, including chili oil. The service was friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the vermicelli with lemon grass beef, and she thoroughly enjoyed her dish. I opted for the chicken pho with leg meat, and I found it to be quite delicious as well. Both pho broths and the lemongrass beef had a rich and flavorful taste. Will return to try out their beef pho. read more

This is such a cute place! You can tell that it's family run and everyone is super nice. We tried four different types of Pho. We loved that you can choose different meats. Everything was well seasoned and a great portion size! We really like the seafood Pho and the combination Pho! It was very flavorful, and they brought us extra basil. We have a very extensive menu so there's something for everyone. The eggrolls we also got were super crispy and we're great appetizer to share. We can't wait to go back soon. read more

It's a solid 4.5 for Vietnamese food, and this place is in its own lane as there aren't other Vietnamese restaurants until you drive over to Cerritos/Artesia. We went during a soft opening and we were the only folks although the place quickly filled up for dinnertime. They kept some of the cajun seafood items from the previous restaurant, which I really enjoyed, and they also offer a very good selection of Vietnamese food. We had the lemongrass beef vermicelli, grilled chicken vermicelli, egg rolls, garlic noodles, and iced coffee. I'd order everything again except for the garlic noodles, which was decent but not what is popular out there for garlic noodles. But the vermicelli and egg rolls were great and I appreciated how everything seemed to have extra attention with the preparation. The fish sauce was really good and had a nice sweetness to it, and the lemonrass beef and chicken were not dry and had lots of flavor. The egg rolls seemed double-fried with a nice crunchiness and meaty filling. I also appreciate that the server came by to check on us later after we got our food--it's surprising how fewer dine-in places do that, and it's a minimum expectation for me. Overall, looking forward to coming back to try the rest of their menu. read more

What a nice surprise to find this place close by. There honestly are not a lot of solid Vietnamese restaurants in the north Long Beach/lakewood area. I'd drive to Westminster for more of my authentic Vietnamese foods. But this place did not disappoint! When we walked in, we were able to choose our own seat. Owner welcomed us with a smile. When we ordered, he repeated our order to make sure he got it right. I miss the days when a giant bowl was pho was no more than $8. It's about $14 here. The pho portion is very reasonable and the flavors are all there. So I can't complain. I just miss those old days . We brought young kids and they were welcomed. He brought us forks to accommodate and extra bowls to share. Food: My boys drank up the pho broth!!! That's when you know it's good. I also ordered the pork spring rolls. They're not as fat and stuffed as some other places but they hit the spot and the dip that came with it was delicious. The flavor of the pork was also on point. My friend ordered the fried rice. I didn't get to try it but it looked like it was good. I would absolutely come back here for pho. I'll have to bring more people to help me order other items also so I can try more from their menu. read more

Of course, I read most of the one star reviews then I went to the five stars and read all of the elite yelpers reviews. That is why I am here. Very first thing greeted with smiles although the restaurant was nearly empty with just one table that had four customers. It was approximately 6 PM when we came in remember, this is New Year's Day. My daughter works for a Chinese restaurant so I know they never close and have big business on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. So I was happy to see that this restaurant was open. Within minutes, nearly every table was full. I have been watching this gaming chef on Facebook. She's Vietnamese and married to a Korean so the food that she makes is always beautiful and hot and looks delicious and I've been in search of the perfect Pho. Our server, his name is Long. He was so informative and welcoming and sweet. I thought he was the owner son however he says he's a new server just a few months here. He's gonna go a long way! The music was beautiful. It's all in Vietnamese, but you can almost understand it just by the tones and the cadence of the music. The facility is clean and nothing is sticky on the tables plenty of room in the best part for me is it's close by my house. read more

Ample parking, clean, quaint restaurant . Casual seating , tables and chairs, no booth seating. Great pho! Broth is tasty. So happy this is local, I don't need to drive all the way to Westminster for good pho. Other patrons must agree, came this evening on this rainy day, the restaurant was full of happy customers . Although busy, customer service remained friendly and efficient . Looking forward to coming back to try the other rice dishes, crab boil, noodle dishes like the pad thai. What a wonderful addition to Lakewood ! read more

Saigon Hoa Pasteur - Pho brisket & rare steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, California

Don't listen to the 1 star reviews. They're the type of customers who will find ANYTHING to complain about. Whenever I'm craving authentic Vietnamese food or even just pho, I always find myself traveling to Garden Grove or Westminster. Not so much anymore! I'm so happy this place is just a few min from me because it's just as good as some of the Vietnamese restaurants you'll find in OC. We started w/ the coconut snails, the sauce was so rich and flavorful. They give you a good amount to share for two people. There is a certain way to eat them so be sure to know that before ordering or you'll just be sucking the sauce lol. I also ordered the egg rolls, so crisp and delicious. Make sure to wrap them in the lettuce & pickled veggies they come with. Def will be ordering both appetizers again. The pho was also so rich in flavor it was unnecessary to add any additional condiments, which was surprising considering most pho places I've tried around LB, Cerritos, Lakewood lack flavor. I did, however, added some of their spicy chili sauce they had on the table because OMG IT WAS SO GOOOOOD and I like my pho a bit spicy. So far I've visited this establishment three times and each time the customer service was great. At night it's a boy who is very attentive but not over bearing. Both times I went during the day was a young girl who seemed very shy but she was so sweet and attentive as well. Overall this is a great place for good quality Vietnamese food and a quick bite during the day or late at night! read more

I will write a new review after I order PHO. read more

Great place with good food. Love everything will eat here again, it's a great place having seafood boil, and pho in one place

Terrible food. I honestly don't know how this place still had business or got any reviews more than 1. Our banh mis were SO DRY..obviously older than "day old bread". It was SO old and dry that the bread broke off in multiple parts when you lifted it. So do people just not order banh mi s here?? I have never ever had banh mi fall apart like that. The salad leaves were brown (the 3 pieces of salad leaves they give LOL) and the basil and mint leaves were all sad and dry looking too. Health inspectors should show up here because I'm pretty sure they're serving food that's not safe. The amount of sauce they gave was like 2 tablespoons for the eggrolls. Other places fill up the small sauce container 3/4 of the way, at least. They're obviously trying to save money and cut corners. Do they taste their own food?? For what you're paying for, this was just unacceptable!! Don't come here. read more

Now I've realized why Lakewood doesn't have a lot of pho places. Was excited to find this place since I was in the area and my husband was craving pho. I went inside and wasn't warmly greeted. I just ordered pho and popcorn chicken to try it out. The wait wasn't too long and when I got the order it was packaged and noticed it was super light in weight. I didn't think much of it till I got home. Opened up the popcorn chicken and wow... how was this even $10?! (See sad pic). Tasted like the soggy fries were reheated in the microwave and 10 super tiny microwaved chicken nuggets. Very disappointed and I could've went to a fast food to get more quality fries and chicken for half the price. So I opened the pho and another disappointment! For $16.99 there was barely any meat and noodles! Noodles are the most affordable part of pho but they fell short on the amount. The greens were wilted so my husband didn't even use it. He said the taste was decent but wasn't satisfying. Anyway posting images since it speaks louder than words. I hate writing bad reviews but this place needs to step it up especially since they're changing their name to have a more Vietnamese title. read more

Saigon Hoa Pasteur just had their soft opening, and honestly? I came for the Vietnamese food and stayed for the emotional healing. Started with a Passion Fruit drink--tart, refreshing, made me feel like I had my life together for three whole sips. The grilled mussels? Smoky, charred, and hit like a memory from a street corner in Saigon. Then came the sea snails in coconut milk--almost defeated me, but Brooke, our saint of a server, showed me how to eat them like a pro. Messy? Yes. Worth it? 100%. The garlic butter clams were sweet, tangy, and basically seafood candy. But the real MVP? Shaken Beef with Rice. Unreal flavor. The beef was so tender it felt like a trust fall for my taste buds. They've got Pho and a Seafood Boil too--so yes, I'm already planning my next visit. 10/10 would let this place emotionally wreck me again. read more
