Top 5 Vietnamese in Los Angeles
The LA County Vietnamese canon as reflected by cross-publication consensus — from the SGV's Hanoi-style phở bắc temple to Chinatown's old-guard and modern-flagship standouts.
- #1
Phở Filet
South El Monte
“Jonathan Gold's Hanoi-style phở bắc destination — minimalist, filet-mignon-slivered broth that Time Out LA now ranks #1 in the city.”
- #2
Phở 87
Chinatown
“A 36-year Chinatown institution whose deeply beefy, almost funky broth is the platonic LA-proper bowl of pho.”
- #3
Sage Blossom
Chinatown
“The sun-drenched Central Plaza flagship of the Blossom family — silky pho dac biet, crackling bánh xèo, and the deepest menu of the group.”
- #4
Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà
Alhambra
“The Central Vietnamese specialist Angelenos drive to for grilled-to-order nem nướng rolls and a standout bún bò Huế.”
- #5
Thien Huong Restaurant
Chinatown
“Far East Plaza's old-guard Vietnamese anchor — dependable pho, bún bò Huế, and nine bánh mì for under seven bucks.”
