We were honestly on a mission to go grocery shopping next door... but then we spotted the giant GARLIC sign with three Michelin stars underneath it. Well, that was the end of our grocery plans! I mean, why cook when Michelin-recognized chefs can do it for you? Immediate detour!Artesia is already packed with amazing restaurants, but if I see Michelin stars, I'm pulling over every single time. Garlic & Chives did not disappoint.We ordered the garlic green beans, the beef salad, and the fried tofu . Everything was absolutely delicious. The beef salad was so fresh, light, and refreshing, and the garlic green beans were packed with flavor. Even the tofu spring rolls were perfectly prepared.The atmosphere was just as memorable as the food. Walking inside felt like stepping into an enchanted garden. It reminded me of a Hobby Lobby flower department--in the best possible way! Everywhere you look there are beautiful floral touches, giving the restaurant a whimsical, fairy-tale vibe. I kept thinking, "A fairy definitely decorated this place." It made the whole dining experience feel warm, magical, and unique. The food was outstanding, the ambiance was charming, and now I'm way too full to finish my grocery shopping. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in Artesia and appreciate beautiful restaurants with fresh, flavorful food, Garlic & Chives is absolutely worth the stop.

Crispy Wings
Russell S.

I only ordered a couple items for the NFL DRAFT but very flavorful food. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the gal who helped me was super nice. There's also a pretty decent bar there. I just wanted something to gnaw on with my beer chaser. The Crispy Chicken wings were delicious and super crispy. I also had to get the Garlic Noodles with SHRIMP. They were huge. I am looking forward to my next visit there so I can sample more of the menu.

Menu - Specials

Came here when it opened at 11am on a Thursday and it was pretty quiet. Ordered 3 orders of the Salmon Belly Spring Rolls, 1 order of Lemongrass Beef Spring Rolls, a Pomelo Salad, and I actually ordered the Lime Beef Tenderloin Salad but I think they thought I ordered the Calamari Salad because the picture was right underneath it... So I was given the Calamari Salad which was fine :P All of this food was to-go and it took about half an hour to get my food since the kitchen staff was running late due to traffic that day, but I wasn't in a rush. They were nice enough to give me ice water while I waited because this Socal heat wave is no joke. I forgot to take photos of the Salmon Belly Spring Rolls and the Lemongrass Beef Spring Rolls, but both were good! I've had the Salmon Belly Spring Rolls before and they're my usual go-to order. It's served with fish sauce to dip. The Lemongrass Beef Spring Rolls were decent and came with a brown sauce, I didn't like these as much as the Salmon Belly ones so next time I'd just stick to the Salmon Belly. I actually enjoyed both Salads. The Pomelo Salad is listed under the All Day Specials page. I've never had Pomelo in a salad before but they give you big chunks of it along with some chicken, shrimp, romaine, fried and raw onions, daikon, carrots, and peanuts served with a side of fish sauce. I think the fish sauce is the same for the Salmon Belly Spring Rolls and the Calamari Salad too. The Calamari Salad had papaya, mango, onions, tomatoes, shallots, and mint with a side of fish sauce. Both were light, had a lot of crunch, and refreshing for these hot summer days. Both were great, I'd order them both again! Total for all of this food was a little less then $80.

Pork clay pot

Spacious restaurant with pretty easy eats. Went for a workday lunch. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and we were the first ones in the restaurant (came around when it opened). There's quite a few things on the menu, including some all-day specials. However, heard the better dishes are not from that menu, so opted for some appetizers and an entree. Ordered the salmon belly spring rolls and pork spring rolls. We also ordered the pork clay pot. Spring rolls came first - they were both well made and tasty. The sauces match great with them. I preferred the salmon belly spring roll but that's all relative - both were good. The clay pot dish came shortly afterwards. The rice was nice and crispy from the rice pot and went well with the pork belly pieces in the other pot. The sauce was on point - was worried it would be salty, but wasn't. Price point was decent. Would come back and try out a few other dishes next time around.

Great Vietnamese food and excellent service! Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. They also have a Lunar special menu, which is a nice touch with seasonal dishes you don't usually see. Definitely a great spot to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food. Highly recommend!

This Garlic and Chives is so much better than the one in Garden Grove and has many more decorations upon entering. We tried their special garlic crab, which is seasonally priced, along with shaken beef, egg rolls, spring rolls, garlic noodles with prawns and drinks. A word of advice is to get to know your server, as there is really not enough staff when it's busy. I'm glad I made it out here to try some delicious Vietnamese foods and nice environment.

Pomelo Salad - amazing : )
Lucy Y.

We've been coming here regularly for 6-7 years now. Every single time we are here, service is so warm & spot on, & the food is all FANTASTIC. Today we came for lunch to celebrate a birthday. The size of this location is so great for groups! I will always appreciate the easy parking too. We all LOVED everything we ordered: Pork & shrimp dumplings w/crispy skirt - made fresh, chewy, meaty, yum! Salmon belly fresh rolls w/tamarind sauce - we always have to get at least 2 orders bc these are so good! Pomelo salad - the freshness of this light salad is amazing. Pomelo chunks, shrimp, red onion, crispy shallots, mint, carrot, bean sprouts, lettuce, a light dressing & crispy shrimp chips makes this one of the most perfect dishes! Garlic noodles w/shrimp - another one of the best dishes on the menu - fat shrimp, garlicky umami-rich noodles. So good! Shrimp skewers - head & tail on, super garlicky, super fresh shrimp! Sizzling filet mignon - the most tender chunks of beef, in a delicious sauce with bell peppers, onions, tomato & cucumber. Served with steamed rice & a dipping sauce that I wanted to pour on the rice & just eat that alone. Just writing this makes me wish I had leftovers to snack on right about now. But everything was so good, we ate it all. No leftovers for me, so I'll be back again very soon!

The food was good overall, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. That said, I think part of it was because we didn't order any of the restaurant's recommended or signature dishes. Everything we had was enjoyable, just not especially memorable. The service and atmosphere were nice, though, and I'd be willing to give it another try. Next time, I'll definitely order the dishes they're known for. I have a feeling that would make for a much better experience.

Walnut Shrimp, Aalted Fish fried Rice, Noodles, Mango Pomelo Salad, Fried Pork Chops
Valerie A.

We went on a Sunday at 1:30 and was seated right away. We were actually the only ones there and they gave us their full attention. Love the ambiance and lovely details of the decors and they also have a private room nicely decorated with a chandelier for special occasions. I inquired and they had a $600 consumable for 2 hours to reserve and it fits like 20 on this gorgeous long wooden table but they said the room can accomodate more. Food was really good and our fave was the mango pomelo salad. I also love the crispy noodles ghat came with yummy sauce and lots of veggies and meat on it. Actually everything was good. We also ordered the fried salmon (not in picture) and it was not fishy at all and very crispy. Servers were very attentive and nice! Loved our experience and definetly coming back.

Located by a shopping center. This restaurant is able to accommodate large groups for any occasion. The food is so delicious. Each plate is very pleasing to the eye. They were short staffed, but once the order was placed, each dish came timely for us to enjoy each dish. The staff came to check if our order was complete and how everything was going. The crab was so well seasoned with garlic flavor. The garlic noodle was so well accompanied by the garlic flavored tiger shrimp were my highlights for the meal. Definitely will come back to try their other dishes on the menu.

I was a bit hangry and chose this restaurant for so home cook Vietnamese food. I ordered the caramelized salmon with rice and it absolutely hit the spot. Salmon was not too salty and complimented white rice well. They offer a nice menu of Vietnamese classic and fusion offerings. Casual. Good service. Good parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

The BEST Pomelo Salad with soft shell crab topper
Cathy Z.

Just held my son's graduation party here for 60 people and the ambiance, the service, and mainly, the food, omg, my guests have not stopped talking about the food served! Every dish was cooked to perfection from the appetizers buffet (mini beef Wellington to avocados stuffed with ribeye to egg rolls) to sit down dinner service! It was wow after wow moments all dinner long!

I've been here before and have not really been wowed by the food. I came back to see if anything might have changed for the better. There were only two tables occupied when our family & I arrived for 7 pm dinner, but no one was out front to welcome us at all. It seemed like that was a harbinger of how the rest of the evening's dinner was going to be. We got several dishes , although mostly they were just shy of being mediocre to forgettable. They have a lot of dishes on the regular menu plus an all day specials menu. We got dishes from both menus. Chicken pho was so salty, and the chicken thigh slices were not tender. Braised vegetables was the usual mix of cauliflower, broccoli , carrots and some bokchoy. Fried crispy tofu was crispy but bland , even with the garlic and chives sprinkled over it and the sweet chili dipping sauce. Whole fried flounder with mango strips was smaller than I've had elsewhere. The sauce was exactly the same as the tofu except with shredded mango added. Grilled spareribs in lemongrass marinade did not really taste like it. Although it was tender. Rice was included and served in a hot metal pot that gave it a crispy crust, I prefer my rice to be soft. The decorative motif is also bordering on overly floral that it's almost tacky. These are my own personal impressions. Most unlikely that we'll be back.

I've probably been here 15-20 times, and they've consistently kept me coming back. My go-to is definitely the beef pho. The broth and flavor just hit every time. The shrimp pho is really good too, and honestly, I've tried some of their other plates and haven't really been disappointed. They have plenty of options besides pho, and pretty much everything I've had has been good. The service is excellent, but what really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. It doesn't feel like some big restaurant--it has more of that family-run, home-style feeling where you feel comfortable coming back again and again. After 15-20 visits, I think it's safe to say this is my spot. If you're looking for some really good pho, I definitely recommend Flavor Pho.

The staff are also incredibly nice and attentive. The wait time was practically nonexistent; I swear our food came out so fast, but everything still tasted super fresh and delicious. I personally prefer my pho without a bunch of extra add-ins, and this was definitely one of those bowls that was already so flavorful on its own that I didn't feel like it needed anything else. Even if you're someone who normally likes adding things to your pho, I'd honestly recommend trying it as-is first because it's THAT good. The location itself is also really spacious, so even when it gets a little busy, it never feels overly crowded or cramped. I genuinely recommend giving this place a try. I already know I'll be back!

I planned on coming by myself but decided to bring my parents along. My parents are picky eaters every time i want to take them somewhere new they hardly want to. I was able to convince them in joining me. We ordered 2 chicken phos, a sandwich, the buy one Thai tea get the other Thai take for free, and popcorn chicken. They absolutely loved it and as mentioned before they are not so much on trying new things. Not only is the was the food great, but the server was very nice, warm welcoming, and made sure if we were okay or if we needed anything else.

I waited perhaps 4-5 minutes until an employee came out. I almost walked out, but ultimately, I was glad I stayed! I got the house special/ pho dac biet in the large size (13.95 vs $12.95 for a reg size). The bowl came out hot and the noodles were al dente. The ratio of meat to noodles was on par/ ideal. They were a little skimpy on the amount of noodles. The broth had a nice balance of beef and pho spice aromas and taste. It was topped with plenty of green onions and cilantro. The downside is the service, portion since that large size wasn't enough for me, and the tendons were too tough. It felt more like a regular sized bowl than a large. I couldn't hear what the employee said every time there was an interaction except at the very end when she said thank you. The restroom hallway was dark and I had to use my phone flashlight, not sure if they just turned it off to conserve energy? But it was so dark, it could've been bad. My overall take is, don't let the appearance of the place and service deter you. If you're craving pho, give this place a try! I could tell, they put some lovin' in it!

The place was empty when we went around 3pm, yet it took just under 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. We placed our orders: *Thai Tea, no boba - apparently our server didn't put in the order, never checked on us, and therefore never arrived. *Vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg roll - Huge bowl of vermicelli with salad underneath, pork on top and a piping hot cha gio. The pork was so dry it was more like pork jerky, but not in a good way. It was very difficult to chew. No one ever checked on us, so we didn't have an opportunity to tell our server the meat had been overcooked to the point of inedible. That egg roll sure was good, though! *Pork and shrimp Spring roll - not bad at all, but there was precious little pork or shrimp inside. Mostly the cool vermicelli noodles. The peanut sauce was unlike any I've ever had at a Vietnamese place. It was a gloppy sauce with a tiny bit of crushed peanuts added. Usually it's like Thai satay sauce but this wasn't even close. Fortunately they had sriracha and hoisin sauce on the table. Tried to ask for check, but again, no one was paying any attention to us so I had to get up and ask for it. Remember, we were the *only* people eating at the time. We never felt like anyone cared that we were there or if we ever came back. No worries. There's lots of other good Asian choices in the area.
