In Short – Hidden from the main street inside a strip mall, a golden Buddha greets waiting guests as the staff scurries to clear tables. With few words, the horde of local families and visiting foodies are seated in the black-and-white checkered dining room and given an expansive menu with over 100 dishes to choose from, including the usual steaming bowls of pho, rice plates and Vietnamese sandwiches. Signature favorites include the seven courses of beef, sizzling barbeque-style hot plates and baked catfish--all served with rice paper, herbs, cucumbers and pickled carrots for…

Editor's Tips

Save Money:
If you're considering the seven courses of beef, make sure to share the order. All dishes come in generous portions and this one in particular easily serves two to three people.
Know Before You Go:
The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, but its sister restaurant Golden Deli is open.
Look Good:
Call ahead and order the baked fish. It takes 45 minutes to prepare.

BAD SERVICE! RUDE WAITERS! After they give your order, they don't want to be brothered.

by auchivo at Citysearch

The Vietnam House food is okay, but their service is HORRIBLE. After they give you your order, they don't want to be brother again. When I asked for more water they never came. After several rounds of flagging down four waiters in a 45 minutes time, we were greeted with looks of disgust and why are you brothering me expressions. After they gave me my water, one of waiter there even stared down at me and said "Anything else?"in a rude tone of voice. It is the RUDEST restaurant I been to. Don't waste your money here. We come to enjoy, not to be punished by people we are giving our business to.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: RUDE STAFF, NO SERVICE

Good food, good deal

by cpevey at Citysearch

I have to recommend the rice noodle dish with BBQ beef or BBQ pork. They're thinly sliced strips, seasoned and thrown in with rice vermicelli noodles and mint leaves. (Also comes with a pair of egg rolls.) Very satisfying, but not overly filling. I also had the iced coffee. It takes a while for the coffee to filter into the glass, but when it's done, the beverage is strong and sweet. Prices are reasonable, parking is free. There may be a short wait, and the restaurant closes for about a month during the summer.

  • Pros: Good food, good value
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Make Reservations & Bring A Large Group!

try the seven course beef

by vtnguy at Citysearch

i have been to this restaurant several times. it is pretty authentic vietnamese, which means great food at a low price, but average service. . .also, there can be a pretty long wait here. which is a good sign b/c a lot of local vietnamese frequent the restaurant.

i'm vietnamese and i'd be willing to take my parents here. . .the rice combination dishes are good and what i usually get. . .but i've had the 7 course beef and that's pretty tasty too. . for noodle soups like hu tieu i'd recommend my ngoc restaurant in san gabriel instead.

  • Pros: pretty fast service, authentic, tasty and cheap
  • Cons: long wait
3.5 Star Rating: Average
