What People Are Saying About Golden Deli Vietnamese
The Editor

In Short – Although it's hidden in the back of a strip mall a few blocks from the busy 10 freeway, this restaurant is easily found by following the folks who rush out of their recently parked cars to get ahead of those who pulled in next to them. Once inside, the minimally decorated single dining room, steaming bowls of pho soup, slippry vermicelli noodles with peanut sauce, and boiled meats are placed in front of neighborhood families and anyone who enjoys an eating pilgrimage.

can't go wrong with this authentic vietnamese eatery
by charlespham at Citysearch
you can't go wrong with the golden deli. everything on the menu is quality. the downside is that if you go during peak times, there will be a bit of a wait.
avoid "vietnam house restaurant" across the street, it's not even close to being the same as golden deli. with that said, if golden deli is packed and you can't wait, try "vietnam restaurant" about .5 miles east on las tunas. "vietnam restaurant" is run by the brother of golden deli. remember, do NOT confuse "vietnam house restaurant" and "vietnam restaurant". vietnam house = bad; vietnam restaurant = good.
- Pros: vietnamese egg rolls, beef stew (bo kho), and pho dac biet
- Cons: there is typically a wait

Firstly, the neighborhood that this restaurant is in is San Gabriel, NOT Rowland. It would've been closer if the contributor put in "Alhambra".
Secondly, the Golden Deli is NOT open on Wednesdays and is usually closed in the first two weeks of September (this has been their schedule for as long as I can remember).
Third, the Golden Deli most certainly beats most places in the San Gabriel Valley for best and authentic Vietnamese food (although, I probably wouldn't say that their Pho is the greatest in town, but I do love their egg rolls and other Vietnamese dishes). Their sister-restaurant is Saigon Flavor, which is on Las Tunas (also pretty darn delicious). It's rather insulting for anyone to compare it to places like Pho 79.
As for vanessaar91, if you don't like the Asian people in your neighborhood YOU NEED TO MOVE!!! If you haven't noticed, the ENTIRE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY is ASIAN!
- Pros: Egg rolls
- Cons: Non-Vietnamese "Foodies"

There will always be ignorant people like Vanessaar91!

I made this account especially for the ignorant person name Vanessaar91, since your review has nothing to do with the actual restaurant, I'll make my review the same. Your obviously a retard and extremely uneducated. If you don't like the neighborhood cause too many asian people are pissing on your yard then move. If you can't afford to move (which for an uneducated bum, I understand) then quit your b*tch**g. So since you live in asianville you better just shut it, cause they are going to take over the world soon anyhow. Btw, Happy Holidays!
- Pros: It's Pho!
- Cons: Vanesaar91
